POOR OLD CHINA!

 There is a pathetic side to the return of the Chinese court to the f'or roluueh City.

IN NEW YORK. An Independent Democratic Organ ization Necessary.

MHAT DEFEATED THEM.

Dick Croker says it was the silent vote" which defeated Tammany Fossil bly, he is right. A large portion of the voters of New York belong to that class They are the men who do not attend political assemblages or take part in con- yentions For the most part they are intelligent and thinking men, who have their own opinions and do not think 1t necessary to herald those opinions to the world. Under normal conditions they are party men and can be depended on to vote the party ticket, but there some- times comes a crisis or a condition when these quiet voters, as if by one impulse, lay aside party feeling and vote for themselves.
 There was such condition in the great city of New York at the election on November 5th. Whether all the evil that has been said about the government of the city was true or untrue is not the question. Whether the Tammany organization had become the thoroughly corrupt ring that it was represented to be ,or whether 1t was slandered, IS of little consequence, so far as the results are concerned. The charges were made and believed. It was openly and persist ently charged that the whole machinery of the city's government was in the hands of men whose only object was their own enrichment and aggrandize- ment. There was hardly a reputable man or newspaper outside their own members, to defend or try to defend them. The press and the pulpit united against Tammany and Tammany's work l CTS.
 That was the time and the occasion for the silent vote and 1t did its work. Normally, New York city Is Democratic | by majorities running anywhere from | 5000 to 100000. Ordinarily an election there is only a question of majority. At the late election the Democratic mana gers were confident of success. They couldn't see how 1t was possible that more than a hundred thousand voters would change front in the space of time covered by two elections. They failed to control that silent vote which, in the words of John Pierpont is
 A weapon that comes down as still
 As snow-fiakes fall upon the sod;
 But executes freeman's will
 As lightning does the will of God,
 That vote defeated Tammany and 1t will defeat it again and again if Tam many defies it. If that great and power full organization expects to continue in the business of politics let us hope that it will so thoroughly purify itself that it will no longer have occasion to fear "the silent vote"

PROTECTING THE DEER

The newsuapers of South Caronna ana c.eors5a are calling for stringent legis- lation for the protection Of deer anu Alabama might well follow suit in the commendable work. Such laws as we have on the subject are practically worthless, so far as protection is con- cerned. It is singular, too, that sports men as well as lovers of fine meat have been so indifferent on this subject. The writer of this remembers to have seen as many as six wild deer in a drove in the early settlement of Russell County, and they were peacefully feeding within sight of the dwelling. They were then plenti- full in all portions of Alabama, but now a wild deer is almost as great a rarity as a buffalo would be. They are almost extinct in most portions of the State.
 The effect which stringent and well executed laws will have has a notable exemplifcation in the State of Vermont. Twenty years ago deer had almost van- ished from that State, and the few that remained were only to be found in the widest and most inaccessible regions, but the people and the lawmakers. be- came interested ana the result was Such laws and regulations as probably no other State in the Union has. As we remember, the open season for killing deer lasts but ten days. and in that time a man is allowed to kill but one, and that must be for food.
 The result of these laws has been that the deer have multiplied until they are actually becoming a nuisance. They en- croach on the gardens and fields, and even venture into the yards of the farm CTS. In fact, so plentiful have they become that some less oppressive legis- lation is suggested, and 1t is likely that the open season will be extended or less exacting laws relating to killing the animals will take the place of the almost prohibitive regulations now in force.
 No more beautiful or graceful animal was indigenous to Alabama than the wild deer which were once such common ob- jects in our woods, and no animal flesh is more delicate or tempting. Scarce as they now are, if We had some such legis- lation as has been so effective in Yer mont the next generation of Alabamians would see deer in every forest, and both sportsmen and epicures would thank the lawmakers who provided for the amuse- ment and appetites of those who came after them.

A GENEROUS DEED.

Some weeks ago The Advertiser pub lished a statement in reference to the purchase of the Baldwin property on Perry Street to be used for the Young Mems Christian Association. At that acting so generously could not be given. as he desired no publicity in connection with the matter. In the making of the titles in order to carry out his wishes it became necessary, however. for his name to go on record, and The Adver- tiser Is pleased to let the people of Montgomery know to what extent they are indebted to Mir. George Foster Pea body, of New York. The full details are published in another place in today's paper and it is unnecessary to repeat them here.
 MT. Peabody Is one of the many sons of the South who have settled in New York and prospered. He has not for gotten his early friends and associates. Some months ago ne gave quite a large sum for the erection of building in Columbus, Ga, for the Young Mems Christian Association in that city. In many ways his generous impulses have been displayed and always for the ad- vancement of the cause of education and morality. The people of Montgomery are especially delighted that he has taken an interest in the Association here, and will at the proper time show that they fully appreciate 1t, by raising the amount necessary to erect a building that will meet all demands and require ments. Mir. Peabody starts the subscrip- tion list with a handsome amount, and will when the new building is ready give the Perry Street property to another worthy cause.
 Our people are also indebted to Rev. E. G. Murphy for the interest that he has shown in this important matter.
