is NOT AFRAID TO
TO EXPRESS VIEWS.
Alabama City, APP

Alabama City, April 10. 1902.
To the Editor of The Age-Herald.
l beg to own receipt of your recent
favor asking my views on state and coun-
ty prim aries. ] see there is some doubt
expressed by some members of the state
committee as to the propriety of express
ing opinions on the question of primaries
in advance of meeting of the committee;
wish to say l do not share this view
therefore will state briefly am In favor
of white Democratic primaries; know of
none who can be more fully safely
trusted to do the right and proper thing
for the state and party than the Demo-
Gratis who make up the mem bership of
the party. If an intelligent electorate, as
we now have does not know what is
best and what is wanted pray who does !?
If such electorate Is not competent and
to be trusted In the affairs of state we
are surely in a deplorable condition.
/ believe there is nothing that will so
please the Democrats of Alabama, and
be 30 conductive to harmony and party
strength, as the exercise personally, with
out Intermediates, of the right to ex-
press their choice directly, in primaries.
the offices.
AS to fixing qualifications for participa-
ton in primaries, l am in favor, ordinar-
lily. of those Democratic voters taking
part only who have at all times voted
the Democratic tickets, without scratch
or skip, and have all along been opposed
to letting down the bars" as that Is
no way to maintain the esprit de corps
The age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1897-1902, 1902-04-21

of a political party; but at this juncture
It might be we'll in fixing the qualfica-
tions for participation In the primaries
to go back In the recent past of our party
to a time prior to the inception OF the
party differences, which have well nigh
wrecked our political existence, to a
time when all the party marched in solid
phalanx under one Dem ocratic banner
to success; when we had no gold Demo-
Gratis, and then admitting as Democrats,
every white voter who voted the Demo-
cratic ticket at the time we elected the
last Democratic President. OF course in
addition to these we would have to make
provisions for class of young Demo-
Gratis, and others, which the above rule
would not embrace.
The point in the stream to get clean.
wholesome water is not where the water
Is turbid. but up stream above the place
where we muddied the branch.
| think at the same time it should be
well understood and provided that after
the coming election, no one should be
permitted to participate In the councils
of the party who bolts the nominations or
refuses to support each and every Demo-
cratic nominee.
My personal opinion. gained from inter-
views with number of Democrats In
this section of the state, is that nine
tenths of the rank and file of the party
want primaries-they want to turn over
a new leaf. wipe out old grievances. get
headed right In the reform movement and
build up a clean, successful party,
strongly entrenched in the affection, the
confidence and the esteem of Its men,
bers. where honesty, harmony and good
faith shall rule, instead of jealouses and
petty chickering's over essentials and
trivialties r. A. MITCHELL.

ASSASSIN STILL
REFUSES TO TALK
RUSSIA STIRRED UP OVER THE
SHOOTING AT THE MINISTER,
BUT GOVERNMENT REFUSES TO
ALLOW NEWS PRINTED.

ST Petersburg. Friday, April D-The
assassination of NJ. Sipiaguine, the min
lister of the INTERIOR who was shot at the
ministry April 16 by a student named
Balsahonstt, is still the absorbing topic
of conversation but one sees no mention
of the case in print. The papers have
been forbidden to mention the event. The
murderer is still in Jail and defiantly re-
fuses to answer questions. The case Is
causing the police untold anxiety, espe-
cially since 1t has developed that the
assassin was held nine days without be-
ing registered in spite of the supposed
omnipresence of the secret service off,
GERS. The gravity of the situation is
illustrated by the fact that high off
cial visited the police authorities and
catechised them as to whether they are
now harboring any unregistered persons.
The reports of unrest m the country
south OF Moscow increases. That locality
is described as being in a state of tur-
moil
That there is widespread apprehension
in official circles Is evidenced by the fact
that even officials of the ministry of the
interior are found who credit the obvi-
ously impossible story that a sort of
Coxeys army of ten thousand peasants
is marching from Poltava. 10 miles from
kharkoff, to st. Petersburg.

SELMA.

Selma, April 2o.-(Special.)-It is the
any size is put up but one or more fatal
or serious casualties occur. 1t was SO
with the new courthouse when about a
thousand brick from the second floor fell
upon one of the workmen, and It was so
with the new Methodist church when a
rope broke, letting the arm of a crane
used III hosting stone fall and kill a ne
gro employee
This morning the first accident in con-
nection with the new passenger station
being erected by the Western of Alabama
Railroad occurred A force Of hands
have been engaged in tearing down an
old brick warehouse that stands upon the
site of the new depot. The front wall had
been undermined and Friday an attempt
was made to pull it over. but it failed.
This morning Smith Pond and two other
negroes were engaged in further under
mining the wall when the foreman called
to them to come out, as there was posi-
BILE danger that the wall would fall. Two
of the negroes came out Immediately. bur
Smith said he wanted to get out one more
brick. AS he stopped to get the last
brick he noticed the wall totter. He made
a break for safety but tripped and fell
just at the end of the sidewalk and the
top of the wall struck him, breaking his
shoulder and cutting several ugly gashes
about his head. 1t is feared that he Is
injured internally also.
Last night at Whatley, down the M
and B. division of the Southern, thieves
broke into the express and postoffice and
stole all the available cash and every
thing else they could lay their hands on
Then they stole a handcar that was or

about ten miles distant where they made
similar attempt but were frightened
away, leaving the handcar on the side

ALABAMA IN GOOD
FINANCIAL SHAPE
Largest Sum in the Treasury
Ever Known Before
JELKS Is FINE FINANClER
Tax Rate Is No Higher But Valuations
Have increased WonderfulIy-Leg-
slative Appropriations for a
While Caused Concern.

Montgomery, April 20.-(Special. THE
State of Alabama has probably not with
in its history been in equally splendid
financial condition as now few days
since there was in the vaults of the treas
ury $1,523, 1873, a considerably larger
sum than has ever before been reported.
These figures speak well for the present
State officials, as the tax rate is no high
er now than 1t has been for several years
past, and 1t will also be recalled that
less than two years ago the Legislature
made such large appropriations as to
cause the men who handle the States
fances much concern and a pro-rata bill
was thought advisable. 1t was not found
necessary to nro rate the appropriations
however, and yet the treasury shows a
most healthy condition.
To the largely increased value of tax
able property much of the present condi-
ton is due.
Valuation Increased.
During the four years from 1896 to 1900
the valuation of property was increased
from $242 341, n to $266. S93 2S8, q gain of
$24, sol, 591 70, while during the last fiscal
year it has increased to 1924, 622 1877, a
gain of ST, 729, $40 for one year. as against
4.s51, 401 for four years previous.
One of the sources from which this
amount Is derived is the increased earn
ings of the convict department. For in
stance. the net earnings were: For the
year 1896, $7151; 1897 $40, %; 1888, $40
1880; 1899, $24, 1856 16; 1900, $6,52782, making
a total for these four years of sSS,593.29.
For the year 1901 the net earnings were
$92, 974.62 or, in other words, the convict
department showed a better result by
80 for the year 1901 than 1t did for
the entire four preceding years. and the
net earnings for the last six months show
a balance Of 1881, which would seem to
indicate that the present year will even
do better than the last one
Contingent Fund.
Some better idea, probably, of Governor
Jelks as financier may be gained from
his care with the contingent fund.
Out of this fund, which is absolutely I'M
der the control of the Governor there
was spent $1,000 during the year ending
1897; $46l9.56 during year ending 1898;
$561491 during year ending 1899; $2315. Al
for the year ending 1900, or an average
of S4SS7.H during those four years, while
for the last fiscal year only $2249.27 was
expended by Governor Jelks. E. e. K.

FEDERATION OF LABOR SEVERE
LY DENOUNCES THE PRESENT
cuSTOM-THANK CONGRESS-
MEN FOR EXCLUSION EFFORTS.

washington, April 20.-The executive
council of the American Federation OF
Labor has adopted resolutions thank
ing senators and representatives who
. have stood by the labor interests in the
3Chinese exclusion and urging that either
Ineffective exclusion laws be enacted or
hat the full responsibility for ineffective
zislation on this subject may rest upon
ose while claiming in the Senate sub
litute to give the country an exclusion
law, are providing an act which will be
sure to involve the government in end
less litigation and then fail to exclude
Chinese laborers.'
The executive council adjourned sine
die this afternoon after adopting an ad-
dress to the wage-workers of America
signed by all the members of the council
which severely denounces the issuing or
injunctions against strikers by the courts
stating that legal and moral rights of the
workers to perform perfectly legal and
legitimate acts to carry on their effort TO
a successful termination, are invaded, and
honest, law-abiding and faithful citizen
workmen are thrust into prison for pc
RODS of from one to nine months.
The address further states that appeals
to Congress on the part of the working
men have been In vain, and that many OF
the courts have interpreted this failure
on the part of Congress to act as war
rant and authority to extend the use, or
more properly speaking, the abuse OF the
writ of injunction.
1t is recommended that all organized
workers in national state, central or local
unions that at their public celebrations
on May ], July 4 and Sept ember 1 Qabor
day., 1902, concentrate their attention to
a discussion of the abolition of the lnjunc-
lions in labor disputes, and the passage
Of resolutions demanding at the hands OF
Congress and the legislatures of their re-
spective states the enactment OF laws
conforming to that purpose. Conventions
of the national unions and the state fed
erations, as we'll as at stated meetings or
the central labor unions, and local trade
and federal labor unions, are also urged
to take similar action and report the re-
suit promptly to the United States Sena-
tors and members of Congress and to the
members of the Legislature of the re-
spectiye districts.
