Col. Hindon In Command kaaln.

Governor Jelks has by courage and
direct action brought order out of dis
order, peace out of strife, in the Third
Alabama Regiment. There are no bet
ter men in the service of the State,
and yet their patriotism and soldier
like qualities were of little value be-
cause of the factional quarrels which
had taken root In the regiment. When
Governor Jelks suspended all above
the company officers he took a bold
step, but it was one that the case
really demanded, and it was the only
course that promised to restore peace
to it.
The regiment itself stood ready to
aid the Governor, as events now clear
ly demonstrate, and today it is off,
cered by men from Colonel Higdon
down who will pull together. The res
toration of Colonel Higdon to his place
at the head of the regiment is especi-
ally satisfactory in this district, where
he is we'll known, and where his popu-
larity has often been tested.
The State gains no little in the res
toration of the efficiency of this fine
regiment, and Governor Jelks reaps
new credit for his boldness and skill
IN securing it. All around it is
happy result, and men and officers
alike are 10 be congratulated over it.

OVER THE cALlBAN SEA.

By Sidney Lanier.
Over the monstrous stumbling sea,
Over the Caliban sea,
Bright Ariel cloud, thou lingerest;
o wait, o walt in the warm red west.
Thy Prospero I'll be-.
over the bumped and fishy sea,
Over the Caliban sea,
o cloud in the west, like a thought in the
heart
OF pardon, loose thy wing and start,
And do a grace for me.
Over the --age and nuddling sea,
Over the Calihan sea,
Bring hither my brother Antonio-man
My injurer-night freaks the ban;
Brother. l pardon ,hee.

Does Not Age.

II do not recall any one who has aged
so slowly as Gen. Fitz Lee" said MT.
E. T. Taliaferro, a member of the Virginia
cuuh of birmingham. 1T am speaking
within bounds when l say that General
Lee does not seem a day older than he
did when he was elected governor of Vir-
ginia in 1885.
His hair is now grey, but there are
no age lines in his face and as Tor
strength, activity and general bearing he
Is more like a man of % or 80 than a
retired officer of the United states army
/ do not believe that Lee will ever age.
His spirits Will keep young If he lives
to be one hundred"

One Hundred thousand Bales.

Birmingham cotton receipts for the
season now ending will be 100000 bales
said a cotton buyer "A few years ago
the receipts ran a little over 100000 but
last year they fell short of the round fig
ures.
"If we have an eleven and half million
crop this year Birmingham may hanoie
a hundred and ten or fifteen thousand
bales, but 100000 may be regarded as the
normal volume for this market. Mont
gomery, right in the heart of the cotton
country, only receives about 100000 bales
a year. Birmingham then will do well
to keep up to this years figures"

who had been to Cuba.
Practically no English is spoken on
the island outside of Havana, and very
little in Havana. If Cuba had been an
nexed to the United States 1t would have
been Americanized in les sthan fifteen or
twenty years. The Spanish language will
be the language there so long as the island
is an independent republic. The Latins

Chic Republicans Posing.

Inc Du1COmD6 nature VI fAAhOiaSo
political platforms is amply illustrated
In the document that the Ohio Repub-
licans have just put out. AS a speci-
men brick this will do:
mo question now pressing for atten-
ton can be of greater Importance than
that which concerns the relation of capt.
tai and labor, and we pledge ourselves to
the protection of these two servants of
civilization. We believe with Lincoln that
capital Is only the fruit of labor, and
could never have existed If labor had not
first existed. Labor is the superior of
capital and deserves the much higher
consideration 1t is necessary that labor
should be intelligently organized. We be-
lieve In fewer hours and larger rewards
for labor, and favor such laws as will
harmonic the interests of labor and cap
i.al and tend to tighten the burden of
toll"
The party that from Mark Hanna
downward has conspired to fill the land
with trusts-that has applied govern
ment by Injunction by the wholesale
that disapproves of any income tax
while 1t mercilessly taxes the neces-
stem to stern, so much so that it is
| chiefly distinguished as the protector
| of special interests, when such party
rises up to declare itself the friend of
labor and of an eight-hour day then
the climax of political duplicity Is
reached. There Is not an oppressor
of labor, a crusher of strikes, in the
land today who is not a Republican
and a contributor to it's campaign
funds. It is essentially the capitalistic
party of the country, and all the mil
lionaires flock to it as naturally as
flies do to rottenness.
The plank in question is given to
show how empty and meaningless the
American platform humbug is. No
other country in the world INDUCES in
it. No other country has anything that
for unadulterated deceit and emptiness
approaches it. 1t stands alone as the
emptiest political performance in the
world round. No one trusts it, no one
really heeds it.
The Ohio document goes on to claim
that the Republican party alone can
be trusted to deal with the trusts
that it alone has framed an act to pre-
vent trust abuses, and that this act
'is now being vigorously applied by a
Republican administration in the pros
ecution of unlawful combinations"
And yet all these trusts were created
by Republicans in Republican admin
istrations, and are protected by the
Dingley tariff from outside competi-
ton, and by Legislatures and courts
controlled by Republicans from hurtful
inside attacks. They know who their
friends are. They know who protects
them, and the Republican campaign
subscription list is scarcely more than
a roll of trusts and trust promoters.
Every large special interest in the
country is represented in it. The
party takes toll from and is supported
by the special interests in the coun-
try, and yet it parades itself as the
friend of labor and the sworn and de-
termined enemy of trusts The depths
of political chicanery have been sound
ed at last in Ohio, its natural home.

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR.

From the New York Press.
Vanity is food, drink, and clothes to
some people.
You can always tell a married man by
the way he wonders why other men are.
The man who boasts that the cannot
be fiattered is fattering himself when
he says 1t.
Most men who only keep from sliding
down the ladder of fame imagine they
are bowling successes.
No matter how shallow man is he may
pass for a deep pool II he can keep people
from throwing In pebbles to sound 1t.
