THE PLATFoRM.

The platform declarations of the Democratic Convention are very much longer than those usually adopted. II the next Legislature undertakes to put all It's recommendations into law 1t will not have time for much other work. The platform was prepared in advance and brought here it is said from a conference that was held in Birmingham last Saturday, Many of hs features have never before been presented to the people of the state. Many of them will meet with very general favor while there are others which will be considered of at least doubtful propriety. As the most of 1t Is directed to the members of the Leg islature to assemble here next Jan uary they will have ample time to study the propositions before they en- ter upon their legislative duties.

GOV. JELks ADMINISTRATION.

The Democratic Convention didsa proper thing in adopting enthusiastic ally the resolution offered by Hon. H. D. Clayton. commenting the splendid manner in which Governor Jelks has administered the affairs of this state. No man has ever been a firmer Nadvo- cate of the execution of the laws, nor tried harder to see that they were ob- served. He has at all times been the faithful guardian of the public inter est and has given the same honest and conscientious attention to the duties of his office that he would give to his personal matters.
 He will leave office with the greatest treasury balance in the States vaults that has ever been known in the his tory of the State, and largely due to the fine ability and judgment he has displayed. The convict department, which he had. put under new plan of operation has worked wonderful re- suits, both in finances and betterment of conditions of conyicts.
 Governor Jelks deserves the thanks of the people of Alabama for his de- votion to their interests. He has made them safe and sane chief executive

MACAuLEY,s PREpICTIoN.

About fifty years ago Henry 5. Randall, of Virginia, wrote and pub lished highly eulogistic Life of Thomas Jefferson" He sent a copy of the book to Thomas B. MacauIey, one of the foremost English scholars. thinkers and writers of the age. MT. Macauley wrote a letter to Mir. Rar dall, some parts of which are Interest ing at this time.
 Mir. Macauley was an ardent Roy alist, who had little faith in a Demo- cratic form of government. and pre- dicted it's failure in the United States. He admitted that 1t was well enough in the earlier days of our Republic, when the country was sparsely settled, when the population was largely ag- ricultural. and when there were no ver3' wealthy men and no great cor porate interests, but he foresaw time when New England, especially, would be as thickly settled as old Eng land. Then he expected to see wages low, the rich dominating every thing, great distress and suffering among the common people. and general discon- tent all over the country. adding these gloomy predictions:
 I heartily wish you good deliver ance, but my reasons and my wishes are at war, and l cannot help fore boding the worst. It Is quite platn that your government will never he able to restrain a distressed and dis contented majority; for with you the majority Is the government, and has the rich, who are always a minority, absolutely at it's mercy. The day will come when the State of New York, a multitude of people, none of whom has had more than half a breakfast, or expects to have more than half dln- ner, will choose Legislature. Is 1t possible to doubt what sort of Legis- lature will be chosen? On one side is statesman preaching patience, re speet for vested right, strict obSerY- ance of public faith. On the other is amy of capitalists and usurers, and asking why anybody should be per mitted to drink champagne and to ride in a carriage while thousands of ries.

 St Petersburg, Sept. 10.--The pre- dictions made in these despatches on August 23 of a Jewish massacre at Siedlce, Russian Poland, unhappiIy has been Justified by the fighting which broke out Saturday night and develop ed yesterday into a carnival of indis- criminate slaughter and pillage, in which the soldiery and the mob took part.
 Unfortunate Jews were shot and bayonetted in the streets of the town. Houses and shops were broken into and sacked valuables were carried off and offered for sale by soldiers to passengers on passing trains.
 In addition to the Jews 8 number of Christians and even some officers met death in the fighting.
 The number of victims has not yet been established but a, conservative es- innate places it at 140 The Jewish fugitives, who thronged the railroad stations at Siedlce are in a state of panic.
 Reports received here from Warsaw and other towns in the vicinity of Siedlce place the number of victims at several hundred

There is always new crop of suck CTS coming on. When one generation passes away new one will be found treading on its heels. Dowie and his pretensions was a notable instance, but he was merely one of many; very prominent one. it is. true, but the world Is full of those who are ready to bite at any alluring fly that is offered them
 Especially Is this true of those who profess themselves able to heal ali bodily infirmities. It doesn't matter whether he proposes to cure diseases of the body or mind; If he will dis play enough cheek and publicity he is sure to reap a harvest.
 The dread and horror at the ap- proach of old age is almost universal. and one who proposes to prevent or ward it off is certain of a good fol- lowing. Centuries ago the alchemists and charlatans enriched themselves bs preparing and selling the Elixir of Youth to the easy dupes who wanted to remain always young. Ponce de Leon was beguiled by the Indians into the belief that the Fountain of Youth was located in the newly discovered Florida country and he spent many weary months in the vain search for the ltfe-giving spring which he had been deiuded into believing was to be found somewhere amid the palms and vines of the Linda Florida which he had discovered and named. He didn't find 1t, and the search for It was prob- ably the cause of his death.
 Now we read of man in New Jer- sey who claims to have found the real and only genuine Waters of Youth in creek in that State. He has built sanitarium on the sbanks of the stream and the easy dupes are patron izing him in a way that rapidly en- larges his bank account and VIII make him a millionaire if he can keep it up long enough. Of course the de- fusion will not last. It will catch many and perhaps some, by the exercise ot faith, may feel benefited, but the falsity of the doctors pretensions must soon be made manifest and then he will make off with his ill-gotten mon- ey, but he will not be the last of the crop of charlatons. They will spring up and flourish as long as the other and large crop of easy marks" has an existence. And that crop will sprout and grow while credulity' has place in the human breast. Barnum was correct when he declared that people like to be humbugged.

TIE TICKET COMPLETE.

The Dsmocratic Convention was well attended yesterday Not on many former occasions has there been so nearly complete representation from every county. There was scarcely q delegate absent and every county cast its full vote on every occasion when ballot was taken.
 If there were any who supposed 1t would be a tame affair they were soon undeceived. That Mir. Conner and his friends were in the saddle was apparent and that they intended to exercise their power to the fullest extent was realized as soon as the Convention assembled.
 There Is full report of the con- vention proceedings in this issue and from much that was said our readers can form an estimate of the spirit that dominated. Old and long established usages of the party were set aside, and in advocacy of. the change some words were uttered which will rankle long In the hearts of many Democrats.
 There is no opposition to the Dem- ocracy in this State, that is to be se- riously considered, but that does not argue that 1t makes no difference what is said and done by those who have the direction of party affairs. Although Mir. Conner and every nominee will be triumphantly elected it is the duty of every Democrat in the State, who is qualified to vote to go and cast his ballot just the same as If there was the most vigorous opposition. Voting when the opportunity. is given, Is a good habit to fall Into and while this sentiment prevails, there ought to be every effort to harmonize instead of widening differences.
 By the nomination of Associate Jus tice Tyson to become Chief Justice and Associate. Justice Dowdeil to succeed himself and Hon. T. c. Mcclellan to the other vacancy on the bench the State ticket Is complete. All the other places were settled by the primary on the 27th of August.
