The management of the penitentiary and the convicts under Democratic rule is enough to justify the placing and the retaining of that party in power in this State. In Smiths ad- ministration the first year the death rate was 17O6 per cent, and in that year 92 convicts died. In 1873 of Governor Lewis's administration the death rate was l77O per cent During the Smith-Lewis pe- riod twenty-five out of every loo convicts died annually. During the Houston Cobb period five out of every 100 died. In that period the death rate was 492 per cent while the report of the Convict Board in lSS6-ls9s the annual death rate was 4s1 per cent, the lowest death rate for any biennial period in the history of the convict system in the State up to that time. In 1898 to 1900 the death rate was A per cent-still lower-and in 1901 it was about the same. Without any mem tion of the financial management this speaks volumes for the Democratic con. trol of that branch of the State govern ment. The Republican administrations in this State squandered the peoples money with a prodigal hand and all public in- etitutions were shamefully mismanaged. especially that of the convicts. Every year while the Republicans were in poy-. CT appropriations had to be made to meet deficits in the penitentiary management

It Wouldn't Do.

We are in favor of a man carrying just as many pistols as he wants to. but if he uses one except in self-defenss he should be punished according to the law and evidence in the case. We also favor the learning every woman in the south how to use a pistol-Marion County News.
 It wouldn't do at all. A good lawyer could make out case of "self-defence" every time. But we agree with you that women in exposed sections should learn to shoot and to shoot quick and straight.

 Secretary Shaw in his Boston speech renewed his profession of faith that the Republican party was the only one that could settle the trust question. For the Democrats he had a deep respect. He would concede them integrity and good motivts-everything, in short, except ability U cope with great problems. !"

The Alabama lilly whites" are catching it on all sides Here's The Chattanooga Times making this comparison:
 Such Alabamians as Judges Jones and ROulhaC General Oates and ex-Secretary of the Navy Herbert, being far better and wiser friends of the negro. better deserve office at the hands Of a Republican Presi- dent than do those Republicans who in their official party action, discriminated against and Ansulted the representatives of the only negroes In the State qualified Co vote. whereas these sakne white bosses were. but yesterday, pretending to favor the right to vote of every negro, regard less of his standing and value as a man and citizen.

 The reappearance of MT. Olney in poll tics should be welcomed by men of all parties. A strong and courageous man. he made an excellent impression on the country as member of MT. Cleveland s second cabinet, and his name since when. ever mentioned has always been received with great respect. Those who esteem him q Prsidential quantity may not read the situation as clearly as they might. but they do not overrate the capacity of their favorte for aigh executive respon- abilities. They pay him sincere com pliment at least and he accepts 1t in a way that shows a capacity to properly appraise that sort of thing in politics.

No Need to Scold.

There Is no need to scold Zola. now that he lies in his tomb. His writings were bad, and only bad. That he gilded his ideas and his stories does not make them better. But then the man is dead and he will write no more.-Birmingham Ledger.
 True. there's no need to scold him. but there is still less need to apotheosize him. as many of the newspapers are doing. Let him and his works rest in peace together

Fights Shy of the Question.

1ndianapolis News.
 Senator Allison asserts that the removal of duties on trust-made articles would benefit the trusts, and cites the tobac- co trust as a case in point. We are not convinced by the Senator's assertion that this would be true even in the case of tobacco, but the Senator should remcm- Der that no one has proposed to take the duty off tobacco. He should talk to us more about steel and coal if he hopes his remarks to be taken seriously.

Under Republican rule in Alabama the sum appropriated while Dr. Cloud was State Superintendent from 1868 to 1870, was$525,O 900 per annum. The records show the sum of $55,OOO was paid to County Superintendents and $3O0.OOO to teachers per annum. Speed. Republican State Su- pcrintendent of Education from 1872 to 1874, had about $525.O00 school funds per annum. Of the sum appropriated while he was in charge $s4, 800 was paid to Coun- ty superlntendents and $15o,0OO to teach CTS per annum. The great bulk of this money did not go to schools at all but was diverted to other purposes. The school fund under Democratic rule is nearly $1,2OO,OOO and it is all spent for schools and reaches the teachers. The Democratic way is the one which pleases the people.

Some of the soldiers up at Camp Thom- as, Tennessee, are complaining because their tents are not warm enough. Well, we don't want the soldiers to suffer, but many an old Confederate will laugh at the idea of expecting a warm tent to sleep in.

In some comments on the Virginia law which authorizes the judge to clear his court of all but the parties immediately interested, when he thinks best, The Richmond Times says:
 In trials for criminal assault the court should exclude all persons except those while the witness is being examined and cross-examined. It is terrible enough for a modest and shrinking woman to be as subject her to the further torture of re- lating her experience in court of jus tice before a promscuous crowd, who from maudlin curiosity strain their ears to catch every word.
 Whatever may be thought or said to the contrary, the publicity of trials in the cases alluded to by The Times is one of the reasons why lynch law is often re- garded with more compIa cency than would otherwise be the case. It may be that the active members of the mob will not stop to consider this phase of the question but it is hardly to be doubted that the shame and humiliation of a trial in court will cause many good men to think that il were better if the rape nend had paid the penalty of his crime at the hands Of a mob.

Since the War Of the Rebellion the con-
e1ol Of the house has alternated about
evenly between the two political parties,
the period Of supremacy being generally
throughout two congresses-four years.
This was an changed and records broken
by the fact that the Republicans have
had the four consecutive congresses, OF
eight years. upon the expiration of the
present congress. This period Of SUI
Iremacy began in the middle of the
last Cleveland administration. in 1885.
That was the Fifty-fourth congress or

gress had a Republican house, with Reed

En- and the present of Fifty-seventh, with
Henderson a second tine. Whether this
supremacy will continue is a thing to
be seen.
It is also interesting to remember that
up 10 the last congress very few in the

like political faith as the administration.
Tor instance. in the middle Of Republican
administrations the house has gone Dem
