THE MEAT AND FISH sITpp,.x

It would be a great hardship upon many of the very best people of Mont- gofnery not to be able to obtain fresh meat or fish on Sunday morning. To- night there will be many heads of fam flies who have not been able until after dark to make provision for their Sum- day food. They have been out of town have not been paid their weekly wages or other good and sufficient causes op- crate to force them to depend upon Sunday morning delivery. It is q case of necessity and the law ought to be so modified as to give opportunity to purchase until say o'clock Sunday morning and deliver on esunday pur- chases made on Saturday. There are many households in which there is no daily supply of ice and no refrigerator and in the summer and much of the winter. food bought on Saturday for Sunday use would spoil, Poor fami- lies cannot afford to run this risk.

Labor Question.
Marion Standard.

Marion Standard.
 The seriousness of the labor question | Is not confined to any one section of common country. From the Atlantic | to the Pacific and from and including
 Canada to the Gulf the same conditions | exist. The question is what are we going to do about 1t. Different sec-
 tions and different environments re- qutre to some extent a different class
 section to look after it's own interest and this the east and northwest are
 doing in a very satisfactory manner.
 We of the South. especially in the cot
 as yet along this line. We have sat
 with folded hands and seen our labor
 pass from us until hundreds of acres
 of lands are idle, industries are ham,
 pared and our general progress retarded.
 To speak for this immediate section we
 do not believe that the average immi-
 grant who comes to this country would
 suit us. For two hundred. years we
 have depended on the lowest strata of manhodo fir our labor. and with all the advancement that could be inculcated
 by the highest class of our civilization
 we have not succeeded in bringing this
 labor up to the first round of the stan
 dard. Where physically strong they
 are mentally deficient. and a boss or
 manager is as essential as the engi-
 neer for the locomotive. and the same care and attention is demanded as with
 this machine. For this people to change from negro labor to white laber cannot be successfully accomplished in cannot jump from Africa to Gaul at one bound. Our system of two hundred years in the handling of labor cannot be changed at once. It Is a problem that will take time to solve. It will re- Quire a new education.
 The Standard took occasion after d recent visit to the West to speak boldly on this question. But we saw that labor was even scarcer in California than In Alabama. We enquired the cause. From the best people we Chinese exclusion act. That this law had almost made poverty out of wealth It was the work of politicians. That they knew the Chinaman and could con- trol him. Cheap and good labor. Hon est and industrious. They could not and other low classes that were coming in to take the work of the Chinaman. That 1t might be well to limit the im- migration of the Chinaman but he should not be excluded. That in fact liable laborer and servant. Easy managed. industrious and reliable. Crime is bound to out fin any nationali- ty. but the criminal Chinaman as a rule belong to the higher class than pie. and as always With this class they are charged to the fullest for every crime committed. No stilleto in the hands of Chinaman Is eyer shielded from public view and criticism, and their slightest efforts at lawiessness Is for the facts of these statements, but give them as gathered from as good citizens as tnhabit California and other portions of the west where the China men for many years were the main laborers and where there are thousands tOdaY

Try to Land on Your Feet.
TOmbtkby,

Clarke County Democrat.
 It seems strange that the origin of the name of Alabama's western river should not be definitely known, consid- ering its size, length and importance. Brewers History of Alabama, a very reliable authority, says two hundred years ago the French called the stream the Tombikby. Fifty years ago, Judge Meek, a very prominent and intelligent citizen of Alabama, who wrote much of this State and its rivers and creeks. called the above river Tombecbe. Fifty five years ago Pickett's Alabama Pickett's last syllable on account of It's brevity, the pronunciation remaining unchanged.
 Out of ali this confusion of pronun- citation and spelling, the historians of Alabama give us little light or conso- lation. They say that the name of this large and fine river may have come from that of a little Sumter County creek-'Etomba Ikiby." Perhaps so but 1t is remarkable that such a noble river should be named for a creek so small and insignificant.
 We regard Willis Brewer as the most intelligent and reliable authority touching these matters of early history, and hence, for several years past we have followed his pronunciation--Tom-
 ."Tombigbee" is comparatively a late word We don't know who Is entitled to its paternity. Brewer says the In- dians called the river "Hatchee" till a short time before they left the coun- try. This seems inconsistent with the Etomba Ikiby derivation. which Is gen. orally accepted.

When mothers sick, the house is all So strangely hushed in room and hall! But mother never will admit She suffering single bit! She won't let people do d thing There's nothing any one can bring She just lies there. and tried to fix Herself, by cunning little tricks! And as for doctor-why, the word She scouts as being most absurd. And when he comes he has to guess At symptoms that she won't confess; And then he's apt to frown and say: You should have had me right away. I'll come again this evening"-for It's bed, you see, week or more, When fathers sick--I tell you, now You ought to hear the dreadful row! The talk of dying" and the groans! The orders in convulsive tones! The nasty running to and fro: To rearrange the pillow-so: To fix hot-water bag and shade: For mustard plaster. lemonade! Appeals to get the doctor, quick And Cant you see I'm awful sick?'' And then the doctor sits and hears While father grunts his pains and fears. He leaves some drops, and tells us:
 'rHum
 Unless I'm needed I shan't come Again. Lthink he'll do all right And fathers up, perhaps, by night!

The dominant idea, the master doctrine. that includes all the others, is Socialism. a reform or revo- luton that would make the State the owner of the land, and all the instru- ments of production, of exchange, and of transportation. Toward the realiza- ton of that dream. many of the advo- cates of municipal ownership are con sciously aspiring. ani all of them. whether they know it or not, are labor ing to destroy the present organization of civil society and establish in its place the Social regime. to substitute coIlectivism for indfvidualism."
 The great majority If the American people may certainly. still be counted as opposed to collectivism--or, to put it plainly, to Socialism. They understand that the natural right of competition in business must be safeguarded if indi- vidualism is to be preserved. It is this conviction which renders the majority of the people in sympathy with every honest attempt to break down monopo- listic corporations. The trouble is that they are misled as to the proper rem edy To. make civil government su- preme in the sphere of private enter prise Is, in effect, to establish the social state, by whatever name 1t may be called.

NO aBre STICK. IN THIS CASE.

The bullying act as to Venezuela has taking possession of certain ports by France has not yet eventuated. The ''big stick of the United States was at one time dourished. but the positive proof that the revolution against Cas- tro's government was materially aided and abetted by the American Asphalt Company caused it to drop in place again. We would stand in a poor light before the world. if we should use any physical force in aid of that discredited corporation. It has no right to call on the United States for aid in any matter pending down there. As The Dallas News we'll says:
 President Castro may be a small po- tato. a workable yellow wasp or any ened unto. but as the negro minstrel sings It, he may be crazy" but he aint no fool" He has been instru- mental and successful not only in bringing home to us one of our most humiiiattng scandals, connecting one of our high men with the asphalt frauds, the conclusion that he is entirely sound In his contention against the asphalt company. and that the judgment for fsiting the charter of said company should be sustained. Even this Is not all. It has brought home to France and to us the fact that, to be either consistent or fair,- we must decline nereafter. even under our very broad " stretched Monroe Doctrine, to tacft- " license France or any other Euro pean country to punish with battle ships weaker nations that have mere ly followed their examples in announc- ing deflantly their ultimatums and de- clarfng their demands in the voice of war.

UP TO THE COUNCIL :.

Whether or not inc blame for open liquor shops on Sunday in this city in the past. is due to inadequate munic- ipal law, we will not now discuss fur ther than to say where there Is a will. there Is a way.r If. as Chief Ger aid says. the law is imperfect. 1t Is up to the Council' to perfect it, as far as human agencies can. The one great glaring defect is that the punishment of revoking license in case of two con- victions for Sunday liquor selling ap- plies to the owner or proprietor. They are smart enough never to be caught and only their employees are arrested and fined. which no doubt proprietors pay. If the Council will make law to put out of business the owner of any establishment in which liquor Is sold on Sunday they will have a law which. with proper police backing. will amount to something. Then a license can be revoked on conviction of the employees and proprietors will hardly run so great risk.

New Orleans Picayune.
 The New York Times last week. urs- ing conservative Republicans to vote for Mcclellan to assure the defeat of Hearst, dwelt upon the alarming ad- vance in popularity which sociaIistic theories and proposals have made in this country of late years. The Hearst uprising against the money power . it declared, 'is the local manifestation of widespread movement to effect n radical change in the relation of sov- ernment to private property. /" Mir Hearst has taken advantage of this sentiment: but it's strength has been men of greater ability and wider In1i,, ence.

The great issues in Massachusetts were Cabot Lodges bossism, and bet ter tarin rates. The contest centered on the two candidates for Lieutenant Governor. Draper. the Republican nominee, stood for Lodge and for high tariffism. whitney. the Democrat. was the very incarnation of anti-Lodgism and of tarin reform and reciprocity. The result was that while the Republi- can candidate for Governor did not re- ceive half the normal majority of his party. Draper barely squeezed in with 2.000 majority and may lose that on a recount. There is great revolt even in the Republican party in Massachusetts. The New Bedford Mercury on most questions. is a staunch Republican pa- per, but commenting on last Tuesdays election 1t says: If this Is vindica- tion for stand-pattism. let MT.
