A LIE WHICH LIVES.


 Whenever we hear or read that hairy old gag about Mir Cleveland leaving the Democratic party we are led to wonder how long a lie will retain its vitality. St phocles. or some other old philosopher. tells US that "a lie never lives to be old" but he knew nothing about poli- ties. for some political lies are as full Of vitality as an eel. When a general. standing with his face to the foe. finds himself deserted by his men, a truthful historian would hardly charge that he had run away from his army. but that tae army ran away from him.
 Such a charge against a betrayed and abandoned general would be as fair and truthful as to say that Mir Cleveland de- serted Democracy or the Democratic party. His party was in power and lie was trying to hold 1t to the old faith, tut no human being could have done that. A majority of Democrats had determined to go wool-gathering and nothing could stop them. It was Cervantes who said: Many go out for wool, and come home shorn themselves" and that remark sp- plies exactly to the bulk of the Demo- crats who went rainbow-chasing n lSsa to 's6 Our party had q majority of both Houses in the Fifty-third Congress, and if 1t had stuck to Mir. Cleveland and his policies. which were the policies of De. mocracy. we might have retained power. The elections of 1ss6 reversed the lever and turned every branch of the govern ment over to the Republicans and they have 1t yet
 Can the most enthusiastic advocate of the new order of things point out one solitary advantage, material or inmate rial, that. has been gained by the Demo- cratic dsparture? And can any of them point out anything to be gained by con- tinuing to wander around in political wilderness? Example is always more effieacious than precept," Dr. Johnson was wont to say, and one of the old Greek philosophers asserts that history Is philosophy teaching by example" We certainly ought not to need more or stronger examples than we have had to convince the most stubborn that nothing is to be gained by adhering to a demon- strated error.
 If the advocates of the new departure could show that they were following a correct theory or policy they would ap- pear in a better light but even this con solation is denied them. "The memorable logic of events has proven beyond shad- ow of dotbt that the free coinage theory was a mistake and that to have carried 1t into practice would have been the ruin of the country and the more complete ruin of the political party responsible for it Mfr Bryan and his followers are de- prived of the satisfaction of feeling or saying that they went down to defeat in defence of A correct principle for the reverse is strictly and historically true.
 And yet. in the face of these absolutely demonstrated facts, we are continually meeting with the gr5tesque falsehood that Cleveland deserted the Democratic party!

The St. Louis Mirror thinks there is no chance to defeat Roosevelt because ''his fight for justice to Cuba is one that ap- peals to every fine instinct of fair play Americans" It may be, and probably is. true that the Presidents course in this Cuban matter meets the approval of the people of the United States. except those who are owned or controlled in some way by the sugar trusts, but what of it? The politicians who are at the bottom of the opposition are shrewd. resourceful and politically interruptions. and The Mirror has studied the history of the Republican party to little purpose if 1t thinks the rank and file can certainly win in contest with the bosses. The indi- cations are plain that some of the strong est politicians in the Presidents party will defeat his nomination, if possible, and they may carry their opposition much further

Their Statement Proven False.

Clayton Record.
 The enemies of the new Constitution in their campaign against it's ratification told those who would read what they wrote or listen to what they said that half the white, people would be dsfran- chised by partisan Registrars refusing to give to them certificates. The falsity of this statement has been proved by the almost total registration of the white voters and this ought tO satisfy doubters as to the value of the new Constitution in purifying the ballot. The negroes almost entirely are left off the registration lists, although men who are opposed to the new Constitution have been telling that thousands of them are registered in the black belt. Here in Barbour every body knows that this is not true. and the figures show that the charge is untrue as to Bullock, Russell. Macon, Mont gomery, Autauga, LoWndes. Dallas and indeed all the counties where the negroes are largely in the majority. The voters or Alabama will be almost solidly of the are closed

The Selma Times favors the repeal of all special laws in this State by means of which so many men are exempt from jury duty. What 1t says in the following applies to other counties than Dallas:
 In Dallas County the failure of juriea to convict criminals leaves the door wide open for crime. If our juries would rig idly enforce the laws on our statute books the number of murders and smaller of- lenses would soon be largely diminished, and in proportion as order and security is established would property values en- nance.
 Our new Constitution prohibits the fu- ture enactment of laws exempting any person from jury, road or other civil duty.
 It is to be hoped that the next Legis- lature will consider the repeal of all special laws under which so many of our best and most intelligent citizens are ex- empted and enact 6 general law exempt ing only such as. of right. ought to be ex- empt The County is entitled to and should have the benefit of the wisdom and intelligence of every citizen, except such as for sufficient cause should be re- lieved of this privilege and duty.

Kingston, Ala, June Zl, IyU4 Editor The Advertiser:
 As there semes to be new candidates poping up for Governor will you permit an humble member of the Democratic Party to suggest that though there are other good men in the State who would perhaps fill the office as we'll precedent demands that Governor Jelks should be nominated.

Discussing the Appalachian reserve bill The Hartford Courant says:
