Further. it was asserted that justice was
impossible without freedom Of religion and
conscience, liberty of the press and free
dom OF meeting. These measures. it was
asserted. were the only guarantees for
the right development of the country.
1t was urged, also. that it was necessary
that representatives Of the people should
talie part in legislation in the control of
the budget and exercise supervision over
all Government departments.
Other resolutions were added, one rec
ommending amnesty for all political and
religious offenders. An expression of con-
tempt for the action taken by the Min
lister Of Justice in preventing the meeting
as intended was Incorporated in the reso-
luton.
1t is easy to understand the significance
of such resolutions coming from such a
body OF men. Nothing so important in the
way of demands for reforms has taken
place before.

Democratic Skies RrInhtenlnn

New York bids fair to cast her elect ora. vote for the democratic ticket this year. In fact, it now seems almost certain that she will do so. The New ork vote is essential to democratic success. It may or may not be essen- tial to republican success.
 As a political factor in the sister hood of states, however, New York Is certainly the most influential and pow erful, hence for many years it has been truthfully prognosticated that "a5 New York goes so goes the union."
 The numerical strength of New York does not constitute her full ,wer Her commercial supremacy places her in close and sympathetic touch with all the people of all the states in lle union. In this way she brings to bear a powerful influence upon the whole nation. She under stands the needs of the people, and wields a directing hand.
 The democracy Of New York is to- day leading in the front field of a great presidential battle, and is moving in solid and unbroken phalanx. All local differences in the party lines are set tied, and conditions there are reviving hope, action and strength in those states which have been accounted doubtful The u1-American extremes of the republican administration have awakened the independent voter, and daily that class of Americans are aligning themselves with the party which stands upon the constitutional platform adopted at St. Louis.
 Certain 1t is that the clouds of doubt are passing away and the sky is bright ening for democracy as the day draws nigh when the contest between the contending forces is to be decided.

System to Prevent Theft.

Possibly you never heard how the large stores in Birmingham prevent arti- cles from being stolen by the clerks" said a man who seemed to know some thing about everything. Tt is almost impossible to steal anything from a cer- tain department store in this city. For merly the stores suffered a heavy loss in this manner and an ingenious method had to be adopted to prevent the clerks from taking small articles as they quit work in the afternoons. It is worked in this way: Every clerk, man or woman, is required to leave his or her package at what is called an exchange counter. When they leave the store in the after moons these packages are closely scru- tinized as the clerks pass out the door and if an irregular package appears in the lot the bearer is closely questioned. These packages have to be wrapped in a certain colored paper every day. This paper cannot be secured except at the exchange counter. There is a different color for every day in the week and unless the clerks package is wrapped in the color designated for the proper day he is stopped and made to exhibit the contents of his package It is said by this method that it is almost impossible for articles to be carried out of the store without the knowledge of the persons whose business 1t is to protect the prS- prietors in this respect

girl Is finally discovered and when he learns that she is about to recover and may soon be able to charge him with the crime the negro attempts to fire the house in which she is sleeping. The res- idence is burned to the ground but the negro is run down by a pack of hounds that were put on his trail by a pair of fox skins which he wore on his feet He is finally overtaken by the father of the girl and the hero of the book, Winston Jarman, and Is shot down by the angry parent near the scene of his outrage.
 After the Kolb-Jones campaign is dis posed of Jarman is prevailed upon to accept political honors higher than he had yet aspired to and is nominated for the senate of the United States. He Is elected by the aid of his sweetheart who donated $1O,000 to his cause under an anonymous name. Jarman had formerly become estranged from the girl through the prejudice of her father, but when he discovers who befriended him in the hour of need of course there is recon ciliation and Jarman is at last welded to his burst of feminine ecstacy."
 Without considering the literary merits of '"rhe Senator From Alabama" the book should prove interesting to the gen. tlemen in various parts of the state with whom it deals so boldly and besides some choice political history is contained with in its covers.

In the Fifth and Seventh.

T notice that the democratic leaders are a little anxious about the result or the election in the Fifth and Seventh congressional districts" said o. P. Gaut' the well known hardware nan. "Accora- ing ito my information these districts are certain to go democratic and see no reason for alarm. Tom Hefiin will have no trouble in being elected In the F1fth district, though MT. Walker, his opponent is working vigorously. There Is not enough republican strength in that sec ton of the state however. to be seriously felt and most all of the former populists are now in the democratic party
 "By the way" said MT. Gaut, T notice that Captain Hobson's answer to MT. Blakemore's challenge for joint debate has been published and is causing con- siderable comment among democrats throughout the state. Captain Hobson IS A forceful speaker and while know little about Mr. Blakemore's ability in that di- rection the discussion ought to prove in- teresting. I am inclined to think though that Captain Hobson should spend all of his time in the doubtful states. such as Indiana, during the .ast few weeks of the campaign and that the debate here in Alabama should be had earlier. Cap tain Hobson is very strong in Indiana and could do the party much good there in the closing hours of the campaign.

Six Issues Before the PeopIe.

Every part of JuGge Parkers digni- fled and straightforward letter de- serves careful reading by the voter. He discusses freely and openly all issues, but he is nowhere so happy as when he sums up the issues before the people in few words, as follows:
 Shall economy of administration be de- manded or shall extravaganza be en- outraged?
 Shall the wrongdoer be brought to bay by the people, or must justice wait upon political oligarchy7
 Shall our government stand for equal opportunity for all or for special priv ilege?
 Shall 1t remain a government of law or become one of individual caprice?
 Shall we cling to the rule of the people or shall we embrace beneficent despo- tism?
 Extravagance, corruption, Dingley- ism, the trusts, law and imperialism are thus presented as the issues of the campaign, and Judge Parker says he awaits with calmness and confidence the verdict of the people upon these issues.
 He can safely do so If his calm and sane position upon all the issues men, toned does not catch the ear and the
 
 conscience of the silent voter, then facts and logic have lost their force. and the republic is drifting from it's r-oorings.
 It is the s;lent voter-the man who keeps his own counsels-who neither asks qu-- ions nor listens to speeches, going about his business until election day-it is he who decides elections. lie both elected and defeated Grover Cleveland, and except upon unusual occasions like the Bryan campaigns, 1t is he who makes or unmakes can didates. He will decide beyond all question the approaching election, and to him Juage Parker's' dignified state nent of the ills a. needs of the re- public will especially appeal

Parker's Letter.

From the Montgomery Advertiser.
 The letter of acceptance of Judge Alton B. Parker is in striking contrast with that of the President. Its statement of the issues now pressing for decision is fair lucid, logical and forcible. It is void of all misrepresentation. It is free from arrogance. It does not presume upon the ignorance of the people of the United States but treats them as body of intelligent voters, who take cognizance of current events. Consequently 1t as- sumes that they are reasonably well in formed of the history of their own coun- try none of which can be said of the letter of acceptance of the President.
 Perhaps the most noticeable feature of the letter Is the great care it mani fests to make plain the views of It's author upon every question in issue, in order that every voter may be fully ad- vised thereof when he casts his ballot.
