ONE OF MoNTGoMFsRY's MOST
 LUCENT NEEDS.

Montgomery needs many things; but we verify believe that one of it's most urgent needs is an educational institution of high grade-a great college or university for men.
 It may not be generally known. but 1t is true, that, with the single exception of Tallahassee. Montgomery is the only capi- tai city in the South which has no such educational institution.
 Annapolis in Maryland, Richmond in Vir- ginia, Raleigh in North Carolina, Colum- bia in South Carolina. Atlanta in Georgia, Jackson in Mississippi. Baton Rogue in Louisiana, Austin in Texas, Little Rock in Arkansas, Nashville in Tennessee, and Frankfort in Kentucky. all have such in. stitutions; but Montgomery has nothing of the sort.
 Some of the cities named have more than one college or university. This Is true of Richmond, Nashville and Colum- bia. It will soon be true of Atlanta where $250,OO0 was recently raised to se- cure the Presbyterian University.
 Some cities which are not capitals have bllOliS COllSStS. lHSy dI6 ENcW OII6dnS with Tulane University. and Chattanooga Knoxville, Birmingham. Macon, Ga, and Charleston, s. C., which may be men, tioned in this class. Some of these. as Macon, Athens, Birmingham and Spar tanburg. s. C., have two institutions for higher educat ton.
 It requires no argument to prove that in these institutions, the cities named have great and invaluable advantages ot both a material and moral kind. A col. which 1t is located. not to mention the priceless influences which can not be ex- pressed in terms of money.
 But. as we have intimated, there are things which an educational institution brings to a city more valuable than spring effects of an intellectual and moral sort, which overtop and outrank every material advantage, however great.
 Montgomery can not afford longer to be deprived of all these advantages, which our sister cities so richly possess. To
 
 and abroad. Nor is there reason for us to do so. The methods adopted by other cities to secure such things will bring them to us. A generous citizen of Jack son, Miss. led his fellow citizens, and se- cured Millsaps College for that city. Ma con, Ga. made 1t to the advantage of the Baptists to move Mercer University there, and it came. The people of Macol fixed the Wesleyan Female College also there, for all time, in the same way. So Birmingham secured Howard College.
 We are informed that if some of our leading citizens will take this matter in hand, they will find an enthusiastic fol- lowing in bringing to Montgomery an in stitution that will bless the community for all years to comeA This is the University of the Methodist Church, now located at Greensboro.
 Who will lead off? Have We not three or four or a dozen, broad-minded, states generous men among us who will move in the matter?
 We believe that we have, and We beg t lay the matter before them, as well as be- fore all who care for the welfare of this Capital City of Alabama.

A DEFRAUDING oPT1cIAN.
Smooth Young Man Fleecing People
 of the State.

Monroevile, Nov. 2-(Specfal)-A young man giving his name as Dr. J. D. Van Allen, and hailing from Eastman. Ga, whose business is travelling optician, seems to be an adept in the act of swind- ling people out of various sums of money in different sections of the State. He has lately left unpaid a loan from a widow at Ge"rGiana, and last week was successful in heecing some of the citizens of Mon roeville out of money. a watch and board bill.
 He is very talkative has low modu- lated voice. and in talking catches quick, short hreaths. That others may not be- come victims of his smooth tongue and anablc manners this warning is given, His description Is as follows: About 25 years of age, clean shaven, round. ruddy face; height about feet 10 inches, weight about l75 pounds. well pFopOrtioned; long cut black hair, parted in the middle;

The biggest newspaper blun we have read is put up by The York Pa) Dis patch, when it declares that the platform of the Republican Party is honest and capable government" and consequently the voters should vote for that Party. How a man living in Pennsylvania can talk about honest government under the Republican rule is one of the mysteries past finding out. Doodle and graft should be prominent plank in every Re publican platform adopted in that State, for 1t is so well understood that those two things dominate all other eonsidera- tons that they might as well throw of all pretense and come out openly in favor of the tie that keeps the Party together.

HonrrHrr,s LATEST

Rountree, the deposed Secretary of the Alabama Press Association, made another exhibition of himself Saturday. This time he essays the role of Samson. He undertakes to pull down the columns of the Press temple and to destroy all with himself. Of course, such small fellow makes himself ridiculous in that role.
 Tn a card Rountree charged the bulk of the other officials of the Press Association with violating the Constitution of that body by giving away or selling their transportation on the Canadian trip. He starts with the President. goes through the list of vice-Presidents. excepting only one. and winds up with most of the Exec utive Committee. Doubtless he you'd have given a considerable sum of the money he has illegally made and Is guarding so jcalously, if he could have included one of the owners of The Advertiser in his list. But he couldn't find a pretense to hang such charge upon. and he wisely left 1t out.
 Elsewhere in this issue will be found answers to these charges by a number of the officers he has arraigned. These re- plies show plainly that Rountree Is not acting in the interest of justice or good morals. but that he is seeking revenge upon the men who were most instrument tai at Birmingham in pushing him out os office. He Is also trying to muddy the waters, in order to confuse public opinion as to his own guilt. It may also be his idea that by this alleged exposure of most of the leaders against him, he may be able to bulidoze still more of the rank and fife of the membership into standing by him. There is littles doubt that some of his supporters at Birmingham stood by him because of fear that he would ex- pose hem in actual sales of transporta- ton. And weil-informed men will observe that hc has included no one of his friends in his indictment.
 Tn the course of events. doubtless all of Rountree's charges will be investigated yice-Presidept Lawrence may not have the power to appoint the Committee Rountree asks. but very probably every man he has arraigned will insist on an investiga ion at the proper time in a legal way. If any one of these officers is guilty, he should be adequately punished. But no one of them can be anything like such a sinner as Rountree. who has been the prime mover for years in all irregularities, has suggested them to many members, has assisted in carrying them out in every way he could.
 Ronntree is stirring up so much passion on this matter that if he does not looi out. he will soon find himself sued in the courts. or indicted for serious offences. Good lawyers are understood to hold tha, he could be handled by any member of the Association, who paid him $29 for ex- penses of a trip that did not cost half So much. It is likely that the railroads could make him very uncomfortable, if they chose, for the way in which he ham dled their transportation.
 He is certainly conducting himself with a defiance and stubbornness that are reckless in their imprudence.
