JUDGE ALsroN,s CHARGE.

Some days ago Judge A. H. Alston, Circuit Judge at large. found 1t his duty to address a special grand jury sum- moned in St. Clair County to coEsid sr the acts of a mob there. In the course of his address to the grand jury, he made these remarks:
 The report that has been brought 10 me Is this: On last Saturday afternoon at the bail grounds near here there was a negro man known as being "goosey;" he was "goosed" by some young white men, which he threw down. and 1t struck one of the young white men. who became an- gry;, The negro ran away and was pur- men. men fhe % sheriff VI was s present e % and urged % the parties to desist, but his remonstra- tions were met with oaths and the crowd fSnsnaeG fSrsa,s to pursue 5 the negro and were eral of them being drunk. The negro finally reached his home and there se- cured GU aa his rife: and warned the crowd not vance and fired upon him; he returned the fire and wounded two of the crowd
 Ills house was fired into and child wounded and the pursued negro was also slightly wounded. The negro escaped. About 10 o'clock that night the mob re- turned. but failing to find the negro they then set fire to an adjacent dwelling oc- cupied by family of negroes in no way connected W tn the man and today there IS family homeless and without food or ciotning, all they possessed having been destroyed by the flames star,e- by a law less mob. It Is true. gentlemen of the grand jury, that family Is composed of humble negroes, but trust am address ing sixteen men whose sense of justice as well as moral and physical courage are too high to allow them to consider for moment the condition in life of any man or set of men. in the discharge of the re- sponsible duties now devolving upon you"
 This was in admirable spirit. It showed his determination to do his part as judge to impress upon the superior white race its duties towards the inferior. help less. weaker race. Doubtless when in- dictments are brought in. he will further use his power and influence from the bench to effect the punishment of the guilty persons.
 This is as 1t should be. The white peo- pie have all the administration of the law in their hands, and they should set d i high standard for themselves in their dealings with the dependent race
 It would not be surprising if some reck- less stump speaker were to turn loose his vials of wrath upon Judge Aston for | trying to do his duty Possibly the fact that he is State judge may protect him | from such an assault. Furthermore the | recent one on Judge Jones has not ap- peared to be a profitable investment, and l that may have a further deterring in- | fiuence upon the disposition in some quar- ters to play politics wherever there is a | case of white man vs. negro

Perhaps it would be impolite to sug- gest that MT. William Jennings Bryan talks too much. but great many peo- pie, many of them h,s admirers and fol- lowers in two disastrous campaigns, are beginning to think&hat he says a g:eat many things he ought not to say, and leaves unsaid great many things he ought to say. Shakespeare informs us that there was once in Venice man of the name of Gratiano. And Grover Cleveland he just goes along mindng his own business and does not seem to be at all aware that the dead ones were ever alive. MT. Bryan is considered great orator It is everywhere conceded that he is a capital declaimer. What MT. Bryan lacks is ideas. He is emphat- ically an one-ideaed man. and that idea a rank heresy in principle. and a rank error in logic. Besides. it has no friend but himself
 When MT Bryan first came in fashion he was a rather pleasing character. But that is passing He is become almost as much of a nuisance as spoiled boy' What is the Democratic party to do WlIh a man who proclaims that everybody who does not subscibe to his preacho ments Is bought by the trusts and banks? The man is lamentably illogical. It would bankrupt every trust and every bank III the land to buy up all the Democrats who disagree with MT. Bryan. He says that he was defeated for the office of President of the United States in 1895 because of the unpopularity or GroVef Cleveland's second administration HOW can that be?
 The convention that nominated MT Bryan specifically repudiated MT. Cleve- land, Then how could any man vote against MT. Bryan, because of anything Mir Cleveland did that MT. Bryan did moi like? Mir Bryan was an ollapOdrida. He had the regular Democratic nomina- tion He had the Popuist nomination. He had the Silver Republican nomina- tion. He was indorsed by Eugene Debs and Herr Most Thousands of Democrats refused to vote for a man for President of the United States who agreed with and indorsed every political utterance of William " Allen and Jerry Simpson. MT Rrvan was beaten because of his agrarian vagaries, and here he is laying it on the Democracy of Grover Cleveland His whole campaign was an assault on the rights of property, and he seems to think that every rich man who opposed him was not only unpatriotic, but male factor.
 MT Bryan is no longer the engaging platform speaker he was in 1896 and 1900. He is a fanatic. He is intolerant. If he is not allowed to rule he IS determined to ruin. There is no longer any doubt. MT. Bryan is going to dictate the plat form, or he is going to bolt. Today his influence is not a tithe what 1t was in 1900 By 1904 he will be absolutely impo- tent for harm, es he was ever impotent for good.
 The man assumes to be infdllible-at least he proceeds to do, without sin, what is the extremest wickedness in Grover Cleveland. The convention that nomi- mated Mir. Cleveland in 1902 voted down,

do anything warlike except to wear the uniform of colonel in the volunteer ser vice and have his picture taken. The Mckinley administration was human. It was a mighty little war. It would be a very unreasonable man who would' blame that administration for setting somebody other than Bryan to do the little fight ing that was to be done. Now, if we could have bearded Germany, somebody with an army, somebody of our size 1t would have been the duty of Colonel Bryan to volunteer, and the Mckinley administration would have gladly given him opportunity to get killed, or crippled and gather laurels.
 His joining the army, his forcing the ratification of the treaty, his 16 to 1 non sense, his blind opposition to all writs of injunction, his plan to give Congress power to review acts of a State Legisla- ture, are only some of the vagaries of this man. who was made for the melo- drama and not for the cabinet.
 The South must make choice. Is she ready to follow William Jennings to de- feat and to folly a third time? As the leader of the Democracy he is terror; as the leader of a bolt he would be the little bull that came down the hollow and run his horn through a white oak sapling. There would be nothing left of him but his below.

A NEW RULE.

The People has been as liberal in
the publication of obituary notices,
tributes of respect and memorials as
any newspaper in the State, and pro-
pose to SO, continue. Of course We have
to pay the printers for setting these
contributions as we have to pay them
for putting advertisements in type,
and the expense is considerable in
the course Of the year, but our SYM
pathy with the bereaved makes it our
duty to give such comfort as is in our
power to those sorrowing for the
going away of loved ones.
Too much is asked of us, however, by
a number of correspondents. We have
on our desk at this writing an ac-
emulation of personal tributes and
memorials amounting to thirty five
pages of manuscript. They are large
ly composed of verse, some original,
some quoted, all touching and tender,
but if we were to print one we would
have to print all, and our columns
would be filed with them. So we are
forced to adopt rule to which there
will be NO exception, that while we
will continue to publish brief obituary
notices touching the lives, characters.
social and church relations and life
works of those who have been called
away we will not publish more than
four lines of poetry in any obituary,
tribute or memorial without charge.
ALI verse in excess of that number
will be charged for at cents line.-

Proving the Crime.

Georgetown KY, Aug. 13.-On the
witness stand for three hours in the
Powers trial today the convict. Henry
Youtsey gave damaging testimony
against Caleb Powers. He testified
that in January 1901 he signed an
affidavit for Powers as to his innocence
to present to the Republican Judges of
the Court of Appeals to secure from
them a reversal OF the life sentence
given Powers. He said that at the
time he signed the afidvit both Powers
and himself knew it to be false and
that before he would consent to affix
his signature to it he required Powers
to sign an agreement waving the
truth or falsity of it and also agreeing
never to let it become public or to use
it even in Court and, to return it to
him (Youtsey) within fifteen days:
He says the affidavit was not returned
by Powers and Youtsey kept the writ
ten agreement. He produced the agree
ment in Court with Powers's signature
attached.
