valuable IN railroad privileges. Fear
ing they would fall into the hands OF

them. Finally it tired. and the fran
chise business languished. A number Of
the franchises were allowed to lie
around loose, however, but the railroad
thought that all of these had lapsed
years ago. It seems, however. several of
them did not do so, and when the

thought that in not more than two

MT. Hamlin as a Leader.

MODll6 nSBiStSis
 We are Democrats of the Tilden school, but our Democracy Is of some other sort than that which condemns Repubii- can measures because simply they are Republican. MT. Charles s. Hamlin of Boston, who addressed the Tilden Club in New York, Monday night. does not voice the best sentiment of his party. We do not think the next Democratic platform will contain a declaration in favor of the independence of the Filipi- nos. The party cannot win on such a plank; nor will the party be found at that time engaged in misrepresenting MT. Bowen's course in the Venezuela matter, as expressed by Mir. Hamlin in these words: The present administration has extended this (A1onroe) doctrine so far that 1t has practically made our ministers judges or referees in bankruptcy for all South American republics, which are cheerfully encouraged by this means to evade payment of any specific obliga- ton which their citizens have incurred, ' etc To meet this we have to say only that MT. Bowen was chosen by Nene- zuela as its referee and representative, and not by the American administration.
 On the trust question, too, MT. Hal pin Is likely to fail of a following in the Democratic party. On this he is vague and rhetorical, advocating a radical low erlng of the tariff and opposing removal of the tariff from importation of trust controlled articles. We have to get some thing much more definite than that when we make ou rappeal to the voters.

How Mature Evens Up.

By a decree of nature, says The Royal Magazine, one-half the world flourishes at the expense of the other half. The sparrow chases the butterfly, but the hawk chases the sparrow. The roach feeds sumptuously on the swarming May flies, but the pike is ever ready to make a meal of the roach. For the problem of life is two-fold. It is not enough merely to eat 1t is necessary to avoid being eaten. Yet nature detests killing for Killings sake. Massacre forms no part of her great plan. So we See that every creature Is provided with some more or less effective quality of defense, by means of which the attacks of its nat ural enemies are rendered less frequent or less deadly. Thus, the antelope, by means of its superior speed. at times es- capes from the non The armadillo, roll ed in its wonderful coat of mail, lies se- cure from score of proving, hungry foes; while the white hare, scarcely dis- tinguishable from the snow on which 1t crouches, Is often overlooked by his foe, the fox. But of all creatures, none has received more ample protection than the Insects. Some of them possess stings: others bite and a few puff out clouds of poisonous vapor to stupefy or blind their pursuers. Again, there are insects clothed in impenetrable armor, insects covered with sharp splnes and prickles, and oth- CTS whose means of defense consist in nothing but a likeness to the objects which surround them.

MT. verner's Military Bill,

Editor The Advertiser:
 Did you ever hear of any law giVlne any Governor of any State in the united States the power to unseat any leslsla- tor or Senator, not allowing said Legls- lator or Senator to defend himself in any way?
 Such a bill. with reference to the. Ala bama National Guard has been intro duced by Mir. Werner of Tuscaloosa.
 Such a law would be the grossest in suit that could be offered to every com missioned officer in the service or the State. and the most unjust law that was ever made.
 We commissioned officers are elected by our friends and colleagues-or appointed by our colonels, who are elected by their colleagues-and the Governor has noth, ing to do with 1t except to approve 1t and cause commissions to Issue.
 We officers do not realize anything eX' cept the honor of the office, hard work and heavy expense, for every commis' stoned officer in the Guard has frequen' demands made upon him for money tc defray various and sundry expenses.
 This bill gives the Governor the power to remove at will without any chance ol defense on the part of the officer, any officer he (the Governor may see fit tc remove.

:, rHE PROPOSED NEW CrRcU1r.

We desire to call the attention of our Legislators to the fact that if a new Hircultc omposed of Montgomery, Chiffon, Autauga and Fillmore is created. the Leg 1slature will have re-established our an cient circuit. The old circuit of Mont gon cry. Chiffon, Autauga and Elmore was abolished for political reasons, but since our new Constitution has placed the affairs of our State and section in the hands of white people. no political reason now exists against the re-establishment of the circuit.
 The proposed circuit would be as popu- Nous and wealthy as any in the State. It would be compact, and the Judge and the Solicitor could conveniently and quickly reach each county seat by rail. With a practice act similar to the one now appli- gable to our City Court. the new circuit would become of great benefit to litigants an Montgomery, and as the circuit would be composed of only four counties, more frequent terms of court could be held bn Autauga, Chiffon and Fillmore and jus- tice in those counties could be more pHo6uAiy Ludn IS now pos Edble.
 A glance at the map of the State will show any dislnterested observer that the relief that Judge Denson needs can be more conveniently afforded by the forma- tion of this circuit than in any other way. Autauga, Chiffon and Fillmore arc more remote from Judge Densons resi- dence than any of his other counties, and as Montgomery County desires to be in a circuit which will give more time here, 1t seems to us that the new circuit should be formed. Judge Denson would then have all the work he could do. No other circuit would be disturbed and the new circuit, as above stated would be as rich and populous as any circuit in the State We sincerely hope that the Legislature will form the circuit proposed.
