Z A vENGEFuL ORGAN.

The Chicago Chronicle in the ex- treme plentitude of its knowledge gravely informs us that there is no Democratic party and never will De again." That is discouraging. or would be if we thought The Chronicle good authority, which we certainly do not. There have been times in the past when the enemies of good gov ernment laid the fattering unction to their souls that nothing remained to be done for the Democratic party but read the burial service over the re- mains and consign them to the cold and silent tomb. But there has al- ways remained a spark of vitality in tho alleged corpse and at the proper time the dry bones would come togeth- CT and be clothed with living flesh, and the late cadaver would become the tri- umphant guardian of the people.
 But The Chronicle is not satisfied with consigning the party to the tomb of the Capulets, but must needs take a fall out of the Southern newspapers. Possibly we should not be surprised at that. for it has few friends among them and deserves fewer. There was time when 1t made some pretensions speaking of Southern affairs. but that time has passed, and now 1t talks this way:
 The Chronicle has never believed 1Ak IA tx x.nrA 4a r xY represented the Southern people. No- body who knows the Southern people doubts that they are in the main g. conservative, sensible and reasonable their newspapers are hide-bound, moss back, bourbonic. fossilized, re- actfonary and fatuous is riddle which we cannot guess and willingly give up the North would be worth more to them politically than the entire South ern press from Maryland to Texas.
 As we have said. we are not sur. prised that The Chronicle doesn't love our Southern papers, but when it gravely asserts that they do not rep resent Southern sentiment it almost becomes humorous. It would be strange. indeed, If all these strong and ahhuSHlidA newspapers HI tHc oOulh were run in opposition to the senti- ments of the people who sustain them so liberally and stand by them so loy- ally. It would be a condition of af- fairs that would hardly be likely to exist anywhere else, and it does not exist in the South. The Chronicle to the contrary notwithstanding.
 Just what The Chronicle means by its "one strong Democratic newspaper at the North" we do not know. Does it mean that there are no such papers existing there since 1t turned over? Does 1t intimate by the expression that 1t was ever that kind of newspa- per, and that there fs none left And does it mean that one newspaper of that kind In the North would drive all the Southern papers out of business? |? Or, does it really mean anything ex- cept to cast slurs at the South? If we may be pardoned for wasting a quotation, we would say: Cease, vi- per. you gnaw a file"

Says The Bessemer workman:

We find many good things in The Advertiser and also many bad thin gs. to our way of thinking; but most al- teresting matter for the reader of av- craze intelligence.
 That is a compliment all the way through. The Advertiser would have a poor opinion of itself if 1t never said anything that anybody could dis agree with. It would be a sort of spineless newspaper that no one could find fault with. If a newspaper can always publish Interesting matter" 1t will have no cause to be dissatisfied with itself.

The whole syster, is not only 0 magnificent engineering work but also S SOnstitutes rational rational scientiis might now be a serious municipal problem at the French capital had not her officials given the subject intelli- gent attention forty years ago.
 The Commercial, in giving as above the number of acres of land enriched by this simple and rational process shows the large area that Is required to utilize the enormous quantity of sewage pumped to 1t each day. Talk ing the population of the two cities as a basis of comparison it would mean over three million gallons a day pumped or severed out of Montgom- cry. Just how much goes through the various sewers and gutters of this city we are unable to say, but all of 1t is wasted, and all of it would be valua- ble. as evidenced by the example of Paris.
 We note that Mayor Mcclellan, in g. recent message, recommends that all the refuse and garbage collected from the streets and alleys of New York be put to some practical use, instead of being dumped into the waters of the harbor. as is now done. but that would only be a partial solution of the difficulty. as 1t does not provide for the utilization of the liquid refuse that flows, millions of gallons a day, into the sea-. That refuse, The Commercial states. has already become a menace to the peoples health by polluting some of the public baths. and in vari- ous ways 1t is pronounced "an egregi- ous nuisance" and we can well believe it. It Is not only a nuisance but a sinful waste, for. as proven at Paris. it furnishes an almost priceless ferti- lizer. If some one with a turn for figuring would estimate the number of acres of land that could be enriched by the sewage of Montgomery he would probably be surprised at the result

The Nebraska State Journal has this to say about the absurd cotton burn ing reports:

Applying a min- the other reports of cotton bonfires, 1t may be estiINlted that ct least three bales have already gone up in smoke a stop to the waste, another bale or two Is likely to be burned.

Good News to once Holders.

Government officials throughout Ala bama will be pleased to hear the news just brought back from Washington through reliable channels that active service for two terms will be no bar to reappointment, other conditions be- ing favorable.
 AS will be remembered some weeks ago 1t was announced that the Presi dent. giving out the statement that he would not be a candidate himself for the Presidency again not believing in a third term, would decline to appoint officials who were asking for the third term. There are quite a number of people in Alabama who are now serv- ing their second term and are looking forward to third one. The statement which was made sent a cold chill down their backs. as it were.
 But the new message is that two terms is no barrier to reappointment. Godd service. proper endorsement and recommends tion by the leaders of the party will win.
 It is to be heard that the President de- fined himself as to Southern appointments in the past week or so. What he desires Is to favor men of his party wherever he can, other conditions being favorable.
 The candidates must be acceptable to bus mess interests of the communities. The men applying for position must be men of character. The idea of bread and meat must be eliminated, that Is, there Is to be no "pie" grabbing The chief cxecutive Is said to have used the term bread and meat business in his little talk.
 During the present year several of the better appointments Alabama will have to be made. Towards tho end Of the year the postmastership at Mobile and Mont gomery will have to be filled again. P. D. Barker has presided over the Mobile office almost through two terms. c. W. Buckley has been in the Montgomery posto,tice al most through two full terms. Both men are candidates for reappolnJment.
 ]. O. Thompson, Chairman of the RepCb- lican State CommittAs. who has recently been in Washington, when asked about the above report declined to give ru= an inter view. He said however, thas the fact that a man has held office two terms would be no barrier to his being recommended for third term.

According to the medieval legend,
there was an entrance to purgatory on
the island of Tough Derg, on the coast
of Ireland. It was simply the mouth
Of common cave or cavern, but st.
Patrick Is said to have built a mon
astery over 1t and to have secured the
opening with an immense grated iron
door. The place became widely known
as "St. Patrick's purgatory," and it
was generally believed that any one
who had the courage to explore the
pit would be excused the trial Of pass
ing through the real purgatory after
death. The fame of the place was
largely due to poem written in 1853
by Henry of Saltery which pretended
TO relate the experience of Sir Oyayne
Miles, who had embraced the opportu-
nifty Of expiating his crimes in its dark
some depths.
In the year 1896 monk from Hol-
land visited the celebrated shrine and
afterward declared that what was
claimed for it was a ''travesty on re-
ligion" and that the so called s'pur-
gatory' differed in no respect from
dozens of other known caverns." This
news was conveyed to the pope, who
ordered the monastery destroyed and
the cavern closed up. This order was
carried out to the letter on st. Pat
rick's day, 1497.

kitchens of an institution woman
must have been trained in a school
