Those are very serious charges that are made against Governor Stone. of Pennsylvania and they are made speci- 1ically and by responsible men. One of the most damaging is that he insisted on being made treasurer of a fund raised to influence legislation in securing the passage of what is known as the ripper bill" 1t was a fund intended to be used in bribing members of the Legisla- ture, and by asking to take charge of and pay it out Stone became a partner in the infamy, The Pittsburg Post de- clares that he was briber, and second that he failed to account for the bribe money in his hands, deposited by per sons intent on corrupting legislation" So it appears that he not only became the agent of the corruptionists, but actually swindled them out of part of the cor ruption fund. He is bad one, for a fact.

 In Kentucky Democrats have more of committee rule than is allowed in most States. Here in Alabama when the Leg islature meets Democrats by common consent provide for a caucus to select officers and to transact other Party business. Here is the way it is done in Kentucky;

UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE.

From a late Issue Of The Philadelphia Press we take this paragraph:
 Representative Cushman of the State of Washington, has undertaken a large en- terprise in that of formulating uni- versal language. He has introduced a bill in the House providing for con- ference to be held in Washington next October, to which delegates shall be in- vited by the President from all the nations of the world, for the purpose of formulating an alphabet of written and printed characters, to represent the elementary sounds of the human voice, which alphabet shall be adapted to the uses of all languages.
 The President is to appoint eight dis tinguished scholars" to represent the United States. and other nations are to be invited to send proportional number of delegates, all of whom are of course to be the guests of this country.
 MT. Cushman, in our opinion, is nour- ishing Il chimericaI hope. He is not the first person who has indulged in the dream of an universal language, and not a few attempts have been made and not few new languages have been ex- plotted as a solution of the problem, but not one of them has taken any firm hold on the popular mind. or had any thing but a heeting success, and 1t is but natural that such should be the case. Every old people has it's own language and each has a natural affection for it's own tongue. In order to secure the adoption of any kind of universal lan- guage every nation must surrender it's own distinctive language and adopt the new on~. This will be difficult to ln- duce them to do. even if a congress of scholars should agree on a language which would be satisfactory and free from objection.
 We are very much inclined to the opinion that if there is ever an universal language 1t will be English or some modification of it. Not that we are sure that ours is the best language spoken, for of that we have grave doubts. but because of the fact that Eng fish speaking people are continually in- creasing and extending their tongue and their influence throughout the civilized and much of the uncivilized world. By these means may come about the uni yersal tongue which has been the dream and desires of scholors and ethnologists so long. The universal language may at last be English, or something like it.

The selection of Dr. J. l.. M. Curry to represent the United States at Madrid on the occasion of the Young King of Spain coming of age was a most happy one. All Alabamians know the worth of pr. Curry and are glad to know that he is so we'll appreciated by his countrymen as well as by friends abroad The Washington Post says
 pr. Curry has every right to regard this as a special honor. The appoint ment is strictly personal, since he and the President are not in political accord and one may safely assume, therefore that 1t ha sbeen inspired by Dr. Curry's successful service as United States Min ister to Spain during the Cleveland ad- ministration-'S5- 'S9.. It is well known that Dr. Curry's relations with the Spanish court were at all times most cordial and that both he and Mrs. Curry were admitted to an intimacy very rarely accorded to foreigners not of royal blood. As d matter of fact those relations have been kept alive ever since. and persona gratissima is the term that will most compactly and faithfully describe Dr Curry's standing in Madrid today The arrangement moreover, is peculiarly

to thank 10 a public manner my sup
porters and friends throughout the
county for their encouragement and
active support in the beginning Of
my campaign. The race is not really
on yet. On account OF an adverse
opinion by Attorney-General Ander-
son, concurred In by the only court
before which the ques ton has been
raised, l find myself ineligible under
the new Constitution which requires
a two years residence here to qualify
me for the office. 1 will probably be
a candidate for the Senate when l
have gained my residence.
