owners of the land through which the streams ran. In other words. the money Is appropriated and spent. not for the public good or for the penent of the country at large, but to enhance the value of the land. and possibly to prevent the overflowing of a creek through some mans farm. And the pity of 1t is that no member dares object to such misuse of public money because such objection would cause him to lose an appropriation for a creek or lagoon in his own district. Even those members who have no private ends to serve are afraid to oppose these wasteful appropriations lest those oi real merit should suffer.

free institutions. giving ample scope to all our energies. we are indebted for our happiness and prosperity; that to these institutions we owe the glories of the past, and to them we must look as our hope for the future. Let them teach that in every free country poiiti- cal parties are essential, that voters who agree on broad lines of public poll icy must range themselves to carry out these policies; but let them teach also the value of free and independent thought, the necessity of absolute free speech, and the virtue of tolerance. Above all. let them point to the history of our past and show the dangers of excessive party zeal; that partisanship has led us into the greatest mistakes we have committed, and brought us face to face with the most imminent perils we have encountered. Let our children and all our people be given to understand that to every true-born American country stands high above party, and that the safety of the re- public is the supreme law of the land. These are some of the lessons to be learned from the history of the flag we honor this evening""

Nor THE coNTRACToR.

The Mobile Register Of yesteroay hau the following in reference to The Adver- tiser and its relations to the Conven- tion:
 Rack of Mr. Longs resolutions com demning the Montgomery Advertiser 10, its editorial reproof to the Constitutiohal Convention. in the matter Of ianuIe stats .o fix a salary for the Governor of the state, was a belief on the part of Mfr Long tnaIr : The Advertiser, by reason of its printlns the official report of the convention *hs bound to refrain from criticism or .ne e maid organ of the convention was, accoro. ing to Long, required to endorse or ae least keep silent as to the conduct or tne convention. We are pleased 10 opseIso ? tain this view The Advertiser shows that although it receives $10 day fo.. pr.ntln1s the report, it turns over the Whole oi 2. to the stenographers, and then goes ,v an expense of $50 a day to set up ana pup puDiisHs ns the report and supply 100J copies dai.y ot 9t the same to the convention. The pr9ht' e ts any. must come from additional safes pr the paper containing the report 10 tae reading public. Whether the con.,aGs = profitable or not to the newspaper mas However. nothing to do with the matter. Even were the so paid by the conventaon a big profit to the newspaper, there s no obligation put upon the newspaper uo ap- prove of the course of the convention. The paper Is paid so much for reporting and printinE the daily proceedings of the Convention and there the relation be- tween the paper and the convention ends. The convention pays The Advertiser notn. ing for it's opinions. and we are sure 1t could pay nothing. The Advertiser has none of its opinions for sale.
 We are much obliged to The Register for its kind words. Its conception of the integrity of The Advertiser Is very gratifying since 1t comes from one of the most honestly conducted and ably edited papers in all the South.
 Our contemporary has made mis- take, however, in one of the details of the matter. The Conventions contract is not with this paper. but with MT. Pat McGauly. The Advertiser does not receive or handle one cent of the $7O a day, directly or indirectly. It simply does the work of printing the 1000 copies of the proceedings daily for the stenographer, its only return being the use of the matter in the regular issue of the paper. @
 The error of The Register as to the contract makes its estimate of the character of The Advertiser all the more valuable. The Advertiser would, 1t believes, express its opinions just as independently. if it were sustaining the relo ton to the Convention assumed by The Register.

srIRRING THEM UP.

Mr. Cleveland has a most felicitous faculty of stirring up the animals at times, and the sting in 1t is that they are not able to controvert his argu- ments. That they abuse and villify him is not to be wondered at, but that detracts nothing from the force of his reasoning, or the truth of his state ments.
 One of the latest red rags which he has shaken in the face of his critics and detractors Is contained in an ar ticle in The Philadelphia North Amer lean on "The waste of public money" a theme on which he Is we'll qualified to speak, and on which he does speak with characteristic force and freedom. That part of the article which has brought forth most unfavorable crit lcism is where he condemns the ex- travagant use of the public money on river and harbor Improvements. It is well known that while he was Pres ident he opposed appropriations of pub lie money for the improvement oi streams which could not be made oi T
 utility, and he. relates in the paper ir The North American an incident whict seems to have caused some surprise to the President, who was probably Mir Cleveland himself. He thus relates 1t r. In an official interview with the Chair man of the Committee on Rivers and liar bors a number of years ago, the Preside 1 suggested the preparation. of Dill il | which there should be included appropria tions for only such improvements or riV CTS and harbors as were concededly i'm I portant to our commercial interest, leav l Ing other items, unnecessary, or of Ques l tionable propriety, if they must be pre- I sented, to abide by their merits or demsr its, in a separate measure. This sugges
 tion seemed to excite surprise on tn
 part of the chairman, who immediatel l declared that 1t would be impossible t
 make a start in his committee towar
 framing bill on any such theory.
 It. is easy to understand why tn
 Chairman of the Committee was sur
 prised and why he objected to layin such a proposition before his Commit
 tee. No doubt every member on had one or more items asking none
 for the improvement of streams wher

The Philadelphia North American is dolng a grand work for the South in advertising it's resources and oppor- fnnities. But we fear it has undone much of it's missionary work in its city and section by it's cartoon on Monday. a.his cartoon represented the North and south shaking hands over an agree nnent for cooperation in commercial undertaking. The face put on the Southern man was scoundrellish in the extreme. It is calculated to scare of every mild-mannered Quaker from any sort of business relations with the south. The picture would pass of very well for a Cuban bandit. We beseech The North American to revise sts conception of the Southern physi- ognony.

srrrrNc A coon EXAMPLE,.

The shefiieid Reaper, despairing of being able to- induce its readers to go Into the business. Is about to start ND canning establishment in that town as ain experiment and as an object lesson. It will have a capacity of 1000 cans per day, and it Is hoped to have 1t in operation in time to utilize the present fine crop of fruits and vege- tables which would otherwise go to waste.
 Good for The Reaper and the press! Newspapers give good advice and pre- cept and in this case one proposes to add example to it's arguments, and 1t Is an example which ought to be fol- lowed by other than newspaper men. TheN crop of fruits of all kinds, as we'll as of every variety of vegetables, Is going to be fine this season, and ought to be saved. for people will buy the banned goods from some place. and ought to have the opportunity of buy ing them from home people and at first hands. The Anniston Hot Blast calls attention to the fact that several thousand dollars worth of strawberries have been imported into that town since the season opened, and adds, Why our farmers will not grow them and keep. this money at home is mystery" Yes, it is a mystery. and another mystery is to know why the home |'product of berries and all other fruits is not put up for sale. as we'll as a large portion of the vegetables which go to waste. We hope the venture of The Reaper will be success. not only in a financial way, but as a lesson in domestic economy and in making good use of the blessings so bountifully showered on the people of Alabama in the way of good crops.

THE DELEGATES WERE RIGHT.

Considerable comment has been in- dulged in over the failure or refusal of the delegates t0 the Virginia Consti- tutional Convntion to take an official oath before entering on the duties of their office, and some of the comment has been very unfavorable. No doubt this criticism resulted from ignorance of the oath they refused to take. The charge made by some that the mem- bers refused to take an oath to sup port the Constitution of the United States because they had determined to violate that instrument by an erdi- nance regulating suffrage. is as unjust as it is untrue. What the delegates objected to and refused to take was the oath prescribed, by the present Consti- tuition of Virginia, which is this:
 I. -. do solemnly swear Cor affirm) that I will support and maintain the Constitution and laws of the United the State of Virginia; that recc gnize and accept the civil and political equality of all men before the law, and that I will faithfully perform the duty of
 to the best of my ability: So help me God.
 The present, or Underwood Consti- tuition of Virginia. was made by ne- groes, carpet-baggers and other aliens soon after the war, and 1t is no won der that members of the present body refuse to subscribe to such an oath as the above. In fact, as honest men they could not do so. No self-respect- Ing Virginian could bind himself by such an oath when one of the objects of the present Convention Is to form Constitution in accordance with tho requirements of the times and. with E present conditions. There is no obi. gation resting on them to take this or any other oath,. and they were too honest and conscientious to bind them. selves by language which they do not believe and cannot subscribe to. Or this subject The Norfolk Landmark says:
 Do not forget that the Underwood Con sstittuion is the only Constitution of Vir ginfa that has prescribed an oath fol public officers. No Constitution drawn by native white Virginians has provided fo such a thing. The object of the oath in serted into the Underwood instrument fl plain enough to discerning Virg ,nians, anC Is doubtless just as plain to outsiders wht are familiar with reconstruction his tory.
 Alabama has had some experience 1T reconstruction history, and no real Ala bamian would take such an oath al that prescribed for Virginians by tn, Underwood Constitution, and whicl
 was worded as 1t is partly to humlilat'
 the proud citizens of that grand olt commonwealth, and partly to place thu negro on an equality with the whit
 man. The delegates did right to refus' to take such an oath.
