THE STATE CoNyENLoH.

Said by Conner and Cum
 ningham Supporters.
 Mobile Register Cunningham paper't
 The Conner element iR the State con vertion yesterday took full possession and rode rather roughly over the mi- nority. that battled in -ain for rep resen tation, otherwise for hone rnIe and precedent. Major Edward M NOD inson made strong and reasonable &p- peal for fair treatment of Democrats bv Democrats, but it feH upon ears that were deaf It looks to us as If It is the determination of the Conner leau- CTS to drive out of the party all who opposed Conner in the recent campaign. If such is the intention ir VIII have but temporary success. For settle- ment day must surely come. Until now we have had q united purty. We have fought our battles inside the hnes' ana when the conflicts were over We be- came friends again. all joining in sup porting the nominees and the result ing administrations. Tins good prac- tice IS disturbed by proceedings such as yesterdays. There is felt the sting of defeat and the yietorS con fi,o that sting rankle in the wound It bodes no good for the De- mocracy of the State, this cry os Frank & Whites that to the victors belong the spoils It is the same as saying that the conquered are stu enemies and are to be treated as such. MT. Conner and his friep1a F.',y imagine ministration without the alG and en- couragement of the former Cunning ham men, but they will Ind chat this is a mistake. and that the seed they now SOW will spring up in LIeatful crop of thistles to veX them.

TO LIVE OR NOT TO LIVE.

Forcing a man to live when he doesn't desire to live looks like in- fringing on one of the inalienable rights we hear talk of. Up in the province of Saskatchewan they have fourteen Doukhobors CRussian Bap- xistsl in prison who were rounded up while wandering on the prairie. The prisoners unanimously resolved to Btarve themselves to death rather than. remain alive in prison. Then the au- thorttiesA as last resort, bound each one down on his back and pumped him full of liquid food telling them that 1t would be repeated three times day kill they promised to De good and eat what is set before them. tt Is now te be a contest between human will and human authority. It may be that the prisoners will eventually come to en- joy the experience of being fed with out the trouble of chewing or swal- lowing and will tell the authorities to man the pumps and keep it up.
 These Doukhobors by the way are a guFious people. aAd some account of them which we copy from The New York Mail will not be without interest That paper says;
 They are probably the most intense ly sincere religionists on the face of the earth. They make themselves in sane with their sincerity. They want 10 cast off all adornments, arttficialf- ties and sophisticattons whatsoever even theiF elothss- Iney Ind every thing taken into the stomaen to be conducive to impurity In some shape --even bread and mflk-and eonse- quenIiy, at times, they reruse 10 eat. They are so mO;k that Ineir meekness 4 Dec0mss an arrogant intolerance. They represent PuFttanism gone mad. They feel themselves to be too good to live on the earth. and it becomes necessary to force them to do SD.
 These peculiar peopIe, who emigrat- 1d from Russia some years 2gU be- cause the authorities there would not let them march unclad ana do other things by which they emphasize their contempt for material eonalllons, are in religion and society what the eX- trsme New England pugwumps are in polftlcs. Putting it the other way around the mugwumps are political
 A few years ago. a nude paraoe of the Doukhobors, undertaken "tO show nature to man, and how man should return into ais tatherland. was inter rupted by the Canadlan police at ! ork- town. It was autumn. aud cold weather had s1t m. At highs the Doukhobors sIeps nude on the groand in the sallin g snow, Aud not oRs Vt them, IL Is said, took cold!
 These are the people that the Cana dian authorities are now experiment. ing on and determining to keep life in, even by the pumping method It IS hardly possible they can de of starva- sioa if they are kept properly tanked up each day with proper nquId food, but if they are doggedly determined to cash in it hIay be difficult to keep them from 1t They may find some way to shut oe their own breath and thus &C., compltsh their object, but they will have to be very secret about 1t, for -> the authorities catch onto their game they will call in a doctor aud pump them full of air. It promises Co be an interesting performance. no matter which side wins

fore the Conner conference, he is actu- ated by spirit of revenge. and he pro- poses to ut-Herod Herod in the form ation of a State Executive Committee that will do his bidding.
 This will not do. .,
 B. B. Conner, not Rufus N. Rnoues, was nominated for Governor, and It IS not to be supposed that the Conner dei- egates to the State Convention will De ridden to do the bidding Of Rufus N. Rhodes.
 Mir Conner, as the figures show, con trols a majority of the votes or the State Convention, and be is entitled 10 every fair honor which that majority may give him, but the fight for the control of the party machinery Of the State Is between Democrats, and there Is no place for dictatorial denunciation such as Rufus N Rhodes proposes should actuate the Conner delegates Tn the Convention.
 Editor Rhodes, severe as his deRuR- citations of the State Executive com mittee because it refused to do tts bid- ding, proposes to substitute therefor Rhodes, not a Conner, political ring which shall dominate the party in this State.
 There is danger in a policy of this kind, and MT. Conner would do we'll to put a curb. and good one, on his self-assumed political leader and dic- tator of the Democratic Party of Ala bama.

Jefferson Davi=eand Cabin Jehn Bridge. Golumb bfa Stata

 It is announced that the name of Jefferson Davis will probably be re- stored to the famous Cabin John world. The arch spans a gorge in the upper Potomac valley, about eight miles above the city of Washingto and supports tue aqueduet through pours. It also serves as a highway bridge along that much travelled road, known as the Conduit road It is a magnificent piece of masonry built by the direction of Ieffefson Davis. sec- Fetary of War. The bridge bore his name, and on a tablet Ice feet above the ground appeared the names of Ps11a psanks scssPS Pss9s, of @F%Sssaeht %a fesrson the war, when prejudice ran high against the Confederate President, whom the people of the North. termed the Arch Traitor, the name ot Jeffer son Davis was erased. leaving most conspicuous mutilation on the hand some tablet.
 Since that time. the name of the great Southern President and great American Secretary Of War has been more conspicuous by its absence than u might have been by it's presence and the mar on the tablet has been most disgraceful monument to those who muuilated it. No wonder there is an effort to have the name replaced, The replacement will net be an honor to the memory of MT. Davis, nor will 1t in any way appease Southern contempt for the erasure, nor yet oontSibute in any wise to stay the pleasurapIe smiles of Southerners, but it will remove from constant and conspicuous sight

HOME RULE.
And How it Was Treated by the Pow ,
 CTS That Be.

And How it Was Treated by the Pow
 CTS That Be. Special to Mobile Herald.
 An instance, right at home, of the tFampling under foot of the will of the people: The delegates from the First. pr Mobile District, met during recess to select five State Committeeman. As- surence had come that the State Con- vention would ratify the choice of the various districts. Major RobsFt T Erwin was the. choice of the district for member from the State at large. The other counties put up candidates as follows Granade of Washington. Gray of Choctaw, Hybart of Monroe, Daffin and Carter of Clarke and Miller of Marengo The latter two were de- feated. both being Conner men. Their own district rejected them and Carter was badly beaten by hts county. But the convention rejected all precedent of the party, repudiated home rule by substituting Carter aud Miller for Daf- fin and Gray. And the same high handed performance prevailed as to other districts.
 However, it is done. As good Dem eerats, all delegates will submit, but in submitting they will voice t9eiF pro- test in no uncertain tcfms and tCnights amidst the hum of hundreds of out ragged democrats in the lobby of the New Exchange Hotel. one can readily perceive that Mg. Corners admirers. in their rash recklessness, are quite like ly to SOW seeds of dfseord and dissen- sion winch will rtpan into a harvest not at all to his liking.
