The Campign Opens.

Birmingham News.
 The campaign for the ratification of Alabama'S new Constitution IS now actively on.
 Chairman Underwood. of the State Democratic Campaign Committee. has selected and organized his committee. and 1t Is a strong one, composed Of loyal Democrats and wise counselors.
 The meeting of the committee and the informal conference of Democratic leaders in this city on Saturday last inaugurated the capaign in earnest. The campaign must and will be along educational lires. the voters of the benefits to be derived from the new Constitution. This infor- nation properly disseminated and dispas- sinately considered Is all that Is needed to convince the intelligent voter, who de- sires to rid the State of the incubus of the ignorant negro as a political factor, of the wisdom of ratifying the instrument framed by the recent convention.
 Jefferson County has set good ex- ample to the rest of the State by rre- mittee loyal and vigorous support through the regular machinery If the Democratic party. It Is significant and important fact that the Democratic Com mittee of this county expressed itself as unanimously favoring such action and provision was made for an active cam paign. The selection of Hon. Henry B. Gray as campaign chairman insurGs a thorough and energetic fight for ratifica- tion, and The News has no doubt that found on the side of constitutional reform by a substantial majority.
 This unanimous action of the local com mittee is very significant when it Is re- membered that this county is the home of ex-Governor Johnston and General posers of the new Constitution ia all Ala bama

A DANGEROUS NoBLEMAN.

The statement is frequently made that Prince Kropotkin, who is now in this country making addresses in the interest of socialism, is not dangerous because he Is what some call "a theoretical anar- chist," and that he does not counsel vio- lence. It has only been a short time since he addressed a meeting in Chicago and at that m .eting his ushers and other attendants were engaged in selling books to the crowd. From one of those books we take this illustration:
 Let us suppose strugglt between em- plOyer and workmel, any sort of strike. In str Ike there are sur ly som m- ployers more cruel than o,h,rs, Mn.. by their eXactions, hay. necessitattd this strike, or by their intrigues have kept it up longer thad necessary. Without doubt, these employers draw upon them selves the hatred of the workers. Let us suppose one of the like executed in some corner. with a placard posted. explain ing that he has been killed as an ex- ploiter. or that his factory has been burned from the same motive. In such a case there is no being mistaken as to these reasons prompting the author of the deed. and we may be sure they will be applauded by the whole laborng world. Such are intelligent deeds; which show

"The Allied Party" is Its Name.

Chicago Chronicle Dem)
 The delegates of seven political parties" who met at Kansas City few days ago to form a new political party have completed their organization and adopted a party name and platform They formally agreed to call themselves
 The so-called delegates to this confer. ence-it was not styled a convention - were not elected by any gathering of the respective factions to which they belong ed. The meeting was composed of self constituted delegates. Any individual ir Kansas City, appearing there under the call for all men of all parties to meet was welcome to the conference. To cb- tain credentials he simply went into ex- ecutive session with himself and drew up certificate stating his political views This became his authority to appear al the meeting.
 The discussion over the adoption Of g party name was long and animated. Al the lngual forms into which the wcrC people could be warped had already been used and wori out. Nothing further of the kind could be suggested. Invcn' tion was paralyzed. So the Allied party became the name under which the new crank organization was launched. It is as good a name as any other Of itselI 1t means nothing but 1t may be inter preted to mean anything.
 Judged by it's platform, the name of the new party may mean everything Tn erratit visionary and impracticable politics. Yet
 
 anything new. Its fallacious theories arc all old. The party, notwithstanding its new name, is the same old disreputaolt political tramp. clad in the same old out, landish rages and speaking the same old vagabond gibberish.
 "The initiative and referendum, public ownership of public utilities. fiat" money redeemable 'in any specific commodity" Ca new phrase for wildcat currency). but legal tender for all debts and sufficient in quantity for al lthe needs of commerce-these are some of the old familiar catchwords of a dozen parties in recent history which died after a short existence and made no sign"
 A national convention will be called and a committee was appointed to prepare an address setting forth the platform of the party with an argument showing the need of this new reform movement" as it is called. So "the Allied party" is really for action.
 It may be regarded as certain that 8 large class of pretended Democrats will at once want to fuse" with the new party. Common sense Democrats will consider that the Democratic party has had enough fusion" with un-Democratic factions and that it's only prospect Is in maintaining its integrity, its identity and by avoiding all vicious. entangling ali: ances with unsound factions which would be a source of weakness, not strength.

The San Francisco Star has the reputa- tion of being one of the most constant and consistent friends of union labor in California, and yet 1t takes this position:
 Men have a right to quit work them selves, and to persuade others to quit or rot to go to work. but they may not law fully go any further and prevent others from taking their places
 If the organs and leaders of labor unions throughout the country would act on The Stars reasoning there would be vast ly less trouble arising from strikes, and the laboring men would receive much en- coura gemen1 and sympathy which they now deprive themselves of

How Winston Will Be Benefited.

Winston New Era.
 Under the new Constitution no bonds can be issued hereafter by any county to the people and they vote in favor of same; and the amount of the bonded in- debtedness is limited by the Constitution in accordance with the wealth and popu- lation of the county and city.
 This aloCe should he sufficient cause to Induce every voter in this county, mat ters not what his politics are. to vote for ratification on the new Constitution, for had the old Constitution contained this paragraph the s3o.No0 bond issue of Win ston County would have never been mode. for it is an undeniable fact that the people were-and are yet-opposed to it and would have voted it down had they been given an opportunity to do.

AN AsToNIsHED CoNTEM-
 PORARY.

The Norfolk Virginia Pilot is aston ished that The Advertiser should want an
 appropriation for the Coosa, and thus ex-
 claims:
 The Montgomery Advertiser wants Con-
 gress to make a big appropriation for the
 Caosa River. It says the Caosa Is the
 most important river esst - of the MS. Ms, would get out and drink the Caosa up be- fore the Government engineers could md it. But when an Alabama editor starts after an appropriation, doesn't he go Tor 1t bald -headedi We await with bated breath The Advertisers remarks on the size of the fish it has caught in the Caosa.
 Possibly our contemporary thinks Bull Run, Calf Pasture. Plankatank, or some other one of Virgiria's little streams, Is more important than our Coosa, but 1t are not, by a large majority. If the edi- tor would come over and take look at the Coosa he would find his COW just a little over-cropped
 At the imminent risk of upsetting The V.-P.. and of giving The Pensacola Jour- nal fits, we reiterate the statement that | the Coosa .rtaking into consideration the | country it would benefit, and the almost unlimited mineral, arboreal and agricul- tural wealth 1t would iiberate and add to
 the country, is the most important stream
 east of the Mississippi. We speak not
 of what 1t now is. but of what it would be If 1t were open all the yeaf around
 from Rome to Wetumpka. There is
 plenty of water in it at all seasons, and
 the obstacles to navigation are not insur- mountable, by any means. That 1t would cost money. and a great deal of it. is true enough, but 1t would be money well spent
 AS to fish in the Coosa--they are there, but we are not fishers. and have got no fish stories laid by. And, finally, we will thank The Virginian-P Pilot not to write it "Caosa' any more.

Will Work for It,

Choctaw Advocate.
 The Advocate, true to the best interest of the white people of Alabama, indorses the new Constitution and will work for its ratification. The new instrument is far superior to the old one, and is grow ing rapidly in favor with the masses The light for its ratification embodies several questions of vital interest to Alabama. Honest elections. better schools and white supremacy are some of the provi- sions of the new Constitution to attract favorable consideration, and we commend the instrument as one furnishing these reforms.

that actions should always follow a guid- ing principle.
 It is not reasonable to suppose that those who assisted KropotkiB were sell ing books which he did not approve. hence we may conclude that the sentiments above expressed meet with his approval. Tn that case this dreamer, as some of his apologists call him. Is as clearly an anarchist as Czolgosz Is, and as cer- tainly a counsellor of murder. He Is as dangerous as Herr Most Is, at least.

The Birmingham politician said the office of was shown by the orderly succession of the present Governor.

Last week there was meeting of the Socialists held in Chicago to denounce the assassination of the President. At this meeting A. M. Simons, one of the speakers, said:
 Amy man. reading the average yellow Journal, especially of the Hearst type, would not be logically wrong in saying that the conclusion from the premises which were put before him was that Me Kinley being responsible for all abuses, if Mckinley were removed the abuses would cease. In the face of this. let me ask you whose work nerved the hand of the assassin that fired the fatal bullet?
 It is well enough to admit and accept the truth whenever we may find it. and we find 1t in that paragraph Some of the cartoons in The New York Journal and few other papers of it's type. were simply infamous. and that they would so work on the infamed inna gination of an anarchist as to make him believe that 4he President was an enemy who ought to be removed is not at all surprising It would be more surprising had any other result followed,

MCssr Johnston. Shelley and Stallings should not complain because their mo- tives for opposing ratification of the new Constitution are looked on with suspicion. They have all three been politicians who have ever had an eye to their own po- litical interests. Shelley as Congress- man was a product of the devious pollt- ical methods that the new Constitution seeks to do away with; Johnston now opposes measures that he once favored; Stallings has regarded everything as fish that has come to his political net.
