the Party is bound to get back before 1t can take a fair start forward. If it starts from where it left off last year, it may as we'll go out of bust less aid save the worry time and expense of a campaign. There's not even a possi- bility of winning by that route.
 That the Democratic Party made a mistake in 1896 in abandoning the tariff and making free silver coinage the par amount issue The Advertiser knew as well as then as 1t knows now. We knew perfectly well that the old-time, conser vative Democrats who had aI- ways been the saving power of the Party would not turn their backs on their lifelong principles in order to follow a visionary enthusiast into new and strange paths, and had the con- vention at Chicago been controlled by men who wanted to stand to the true Party traditions, it is reasonably cer- tain that there would have been no eight years of Republican rule.
 But parties as well as individuals make mistakes, and 1t is honorable and creditable to either to acknowledge er- TOT and set about retrieving lost ground. When an army can no longer go forward with hope of success, 1t is the part of wise general to so back some way, if necessary. and choose an- other and better route. That some of the most strenuous silver advocates are willing to drop their idol and get back to first principles Is encouraging, and 1t is notable that many of them are not half as intolerant as they were even one year ago. Senator Vest is a good example of this fact. In a re- cent interview, he virtually repudiated both free coinage and its chief expo nent. and plainly said that there is no hope of success if the Party continues to chase rainbows. When asked wheth- CT a sound money Democrat would be an eligible candidate, he said:
 I don't want to bar anyone who is Democrat when the convention assem-

THEY ARE GETTING BACK.

The Mobile Herald notes as an en- couragng evidence of returaing reason that such one-time rabid free silver papers as The Atlanta Constitution and Knoxville Sentinel are at length get ting their eyes open to the fact that the Democratic party must go lack to the forks of the road and take tn cright track, and we have noticed the same thing. For example. The Sentinel says:
 The Democratic Party had won the cleo ton of 1892 on the issue of tariff reform. and the party was recreant to its duty when it failed to carry out it's pledges to the people. The greatest mist lke in political leadership was when it dropped inc tariff issue in 1896 in order to make a radical departure on the money question. battle in that respect, and during that time there have been the tremendous consultations of capital which have taken the form of trusts. These are the offspring of a protective tariff. Thb, question has grown until it takes prece- dence in importance of any other. So We are back 10 where we started in the mat ter of the tariff. and three years from now or probably next year even it will be discussed in its relation to trusts, and all political issues will revolve around it.
 The Sentinel rather overra: IS the con- ditions when it says we are back to where we started in the matter of the tariff" for we are not quite back, but

suffrage Restriction in Alabama.

New York Times. r xrox The speech of Colonel 'onn Dn,;o, to revise inc Constitution of that ctate' III ass,,ning the chair, is interesting ana m structiye It leaves no doupt as so t tno sftitude of the convention or What the dselsStes regard as their duty to the sec,. , nie of inc State. "What we aim to do. said Colonel Kyox. lis to sctaoiissn .s s,a,ts nts supremacy in tbs tn,' ftas ssserai % %consttusion." This Is not new view of the mater m hand. nor does tt warrant any eAcIuement in the North among those waG are <, nSn. sS. nerro and solicitous for his weh-DeinS and advancement. Every interest or the State of Alabama demands that tpe race fenmou ft shoulS Se need % mo srgUmsnt to establish the proposition that fl the whites are 10 control. as they must and Will. ana as they should. this control should oe se cured by process of law and not by force
 Perhaps the greatest interest of Colonel Knoxs speech for the thoughtfui North on the subject of discrimination in favor
 Tt has been urged in some quarters iu. .. as reason why this movement TOT ths. new s propose to adopt suffrage plank when will offer to the negro an incentive to oo- tain an education, while the child of the Jus because protected in his right to vote without regard to the density of his ig- norance l do not understand that any any such legislation. We are pisAser mot to deprive any white man of the right to vote," but this does not extend. unless this convention chooses to extend II. ps- yond the life of voters now living. It Is a question worthy of careful considera- ticn whether we would be warranted in pursuing any course which would have a tendency to condemn any part of our pop Ila a Dernetual literacy. Provisions of the Constitution prescribing educational qualifications for the voters as they affect those who now have no right to vote. but in the course of time will acquire the right, are wisely intended to serve, not as cure. but as a noble stimulus to the requirement Of an meeting and discharging the duties of a citizen"
 Colonel Knox took strong ground in favor of such action by the convention as would embody in the organic law of the State a provision giving 1t system of public education worthy of an intelligent and progressive community; He secuted "too poor to establish and maintain public school system which will place within the reach of every child in the a'e tion whien M iS wiiI fit it for the duties and responsibilities of life" This is exctly the kind of talk the people of Alabama need from their own representative men. They not only require good school facili- ties, but they need a law which shall deny to illiterate parents the right to transmit the curse of ignorance to their school truancy and visiting appropriate penalties upon parents who permit or re- quire 1t. Nothing has so much retarded the development of Alabama as its lack of good educational system, and the readiness of the members of the Consti- tutionai Convention to repair this defect in it's organic law Is a hopeful indication O uniform development than the State has thus far known.

''The sentiment which is back of the determination that no old Confederate soldier shall ever be deprived of his vote. even though he is unable to read or write. will find sympathy in the hearts of all Southern people, premises The Atlanta Constitution, but it will not do for Alabama or any other State to enact legislation which will stimu- late the young colored man to secure an education in order to qualify himself for the electorate, but which will at the same time tend to keep the white youth in ignorance. It is ignorance which must be eliminated in the interest of society-white ignorance as well as me- gro ignorance" These are words of wisdom which the Alabama Constitu- tion- makers should take to heart.

MAKING HASTE SLOWLY.

The Constitutional Convention is making haste slowly. That Is wise. The Fundamental law of the State should not be altered except after the most Careful. painstakins research and deiiberation.
 There has been a vast deal of matter placed before the Convention. in the shape of resolutions and ordinances. The volume of this matter has doubt less impressed many newspaper read CTS with the idea that a sort of Con- stitutional revolution was impending. This is a nasty judgment. If 1t exists in any quarter. The numerous propo- sitions and suggestions go to the strong committees of the body for their con sideration, digestion and report. These committees are thoroughly going through every proposition. Ii is safe to say that when each committee reports, its work will demonstrate the strength, wisdom and conservatism of the Con- rention as a whole. There is little ike iihood of anything wild or chimericai coming from any committee. But if such should be the case, it would meet with little countenance from the ma jority of the whole body, which is cer- tainly characterized by common-sense' fairness and patriotism.
 There is every reason to expect that the Convention will in the course or a week begin to manifest evidences or it's effectiveness in the shape of forci' bic Committee reports. We believe that the Committees are trying to get at the very best of solutions of all prob lems in hand, and that their remedies in all cases will be based on enduring principles. It is of vital importance. in the franchise provisions particularly, that no changes depending on mere ad- ministrative methods. be provided. It will not do for the exercise Of the franchise to depend upon the whims of officials, which may vary in different counties or different periods, according to the changed conditions of parties or factions of parties. That would not De satisfactory, efficient or permanent.
 The Convention is going slowly, and that is the surest way. The people of Alabama expect great things of this body, the eyes of the country are upon it. the experience of other States is be- fore it. It is going to make history, and it will make it to endure.

The editor man of The Hartford Times ventured over to Savannah the other day and while there came near Aeing kidnapped. He strolled onto a large steamer. probably thinking it was a hotel. and if some one had not given him a hint, he would have been carried off to New York and lost. AS it was, he ran over and knocked down every thing in the way, but had the good luck to hit the gang plank and strike hard dirt before the vessel showed off. 1t was a narrow escape and we expect his hair bleached little.

Al woNDERFUL VERDICT.

IsF There is a telegraphic dispatch In
 The Advertiser Friday morning which.
 we fear, our readers failed to read with
 the attention it's importance demanded
 and for that reason we reprint it here:
 The head of a man wrapped in an old | coat was found near Edgemont Park. East St. Louis. H., today. Some empty envelopes found inside the coat were ad- dressed to s. R. Williams, New York
 cy 6e s sas snd uy yerSet Rsa % o was returned. A search of the ground near where the head was discovered brought to light sn old. rusty s razor; z. n:
 head lay a headless body was found last April. It was never identihedf
 Now. the verdict of jury has ever been one of the events which no finite
 mind can predict beforehand or explain afterwards, and a coroner's jury verdict Is infinitely more abstruse than any other kind, as this St. Louis specimen
 proves. Of course. anybody who knows
 things can explain how or why a man
 should cut his own head shack off, but
 that is only very small portion of the | information needed in this case, and we take it very hard Of the coroner and his jury that they failed to elucidate the whole matter.
 To begin with, We want to know how the man scattered himself over so much territory? And why did he take the trouble te wrap his dccapitated head in the coat after he had cut it off? Did he fear that the expression on his face would scare somebody, or did he want to avoid recognition? Then, again, we would really like to know whether the head rolled itself away from the body, or whether the body got up and walked finally tumbled over something and fell hundred yards off?
 The ordinary nantis or devils horse can walk around very unconcerned,y after it's head is cut off, and the head of a snapping- turtle can bite almost as Iviciousiy without a body as with one. but we doubt if either the turtle or the mantis would cut off its own head and go off and leave it. And then we ad- mire the forethought of the dead man in leaving the envelopes in the pocket of the coat in which he intended to wrap his trunkless head, so that he could be identified and his finders know how to go about putting him together. Probably he burned the letters in order that the coroner might not ask hlm any embarrassing questions about them. The only thing he failed to pro- vide. so far as the report SHOWS, was money to pay that coroner for holding the inquest. If he could have tcre- seen that verdict, he would have been willing to pay literally for i. as an addition to the unique literature of the new century.
 But that verdict is a stunner-it surely is. and "crowner's quest law has not altered much since Shak speaTe's day. Any coroner who can find the head and body of l man one hundred yards apart, and then bring in a verdict of suicide ought U nave a monument erected to him. He must be the only one of his kind.

The Lamar Democrat says:

Some of our State writers favor the proposition to give the county commis- sioners full control and power to make our local laws. This will never do; our county commissioners have now all the jurisdiction they need Such a measure If put into the new Constitution, will de- feat the whole thing.
 Whether the Constitution to be framed snail contain such a provision as the one objected to or not, we are not prepared to say, but it certainly should be so arranged that two-thirds or three fourths of each session of the Legislature will not be consumed in considering and enacting strictly local laws. That is the main reason why im- portant legislation Is frequently neg lected and as frequently imperfectly framed, and the new Constitution should positively and specifically forbid the General Assembly frittering away it's time over matters which certalnlV ought to be attended to in the localities affected. Loca! legislation now is the main feature of each session. and IL should be stopped.
