Dragging the Governor Into It.

Mobile Register.
 Our Montgomery correspondent gave this paper, for it's Sunday issue cer- tain rumors current in Montgomery, to the effect that Governor Jelks is or ganizing his friends for active opposi- tion to Mr. Conner and MT. Corners supporters among the candidates for State offices. The correspondent says that the rumors are given for what they are worth. and are merely specu- lative, supported, however, by the fact that the governor Is opposed to cer- tain of the candidates; Mr. Conner for governor, Julian for secretary of State Hood for auditor, and Tyson for chief
 This evidence is not convincing. The governor, may be opposed to certain men for office and have his reasons for war against a faction or class To argue from this opposition that he is organizing for an active fight against the faction to which such men belong. is to go rather far afield Especially is this so. if nothing other than this can be offered as evidence.
 On the other hand, we fail to find any act of the governors that indi- cates a desire to rally his friends for any one faction and against another. It seems to us that if h were engaged actively In this campaign some sign of that activity would be visible here. where the governor has a number of very close friends. He would not be likely to conflne his efforts to Mont Bomery. let, even from Montgomery we have no word that makes 1t clear that he is taking an active part in the governorship fight That he should be friendly to Lieutenant Governor Cum ninghanb a member of his administra- tiOn, Is natural; that he should decline to vote for MT. Conner is natural, too, under the circumstances. MT. Conner having made a general charge against the integrity and independence of the administration: and. doubtless the governor has reasons for not wishing Mir. Hood to be nominated for auditor. Mir Hood has not been pointedly his friend we believe.
 The rumor pays indirectly a compli ment to Governor Jelks in assuming that his activity in the direction nam ed. would precipitate an extremely warm political fight. If this would be the result, we rather regret that there is nothing in- 1t, for the campaign promises to be SO dull that it is hard fv worth reporting.

New state Bonds.

Birmingham Ledger
 The governor is offering another lot of Alabama bonds to the public This time the aggregate of the bonds is S7,- 500, 900, nearly.
 The bonds are to renew the outstand- ine bonds. which mature on July 1. -rbe hlds asked for are alternate. for tbe rate offered is to be either 1-2 or 4 per cent. It will depend on the size of the premium offered, which rate of interest the new bonds will bear. No doubt a sufficient premium will be of- fered for the 1-2 per cent, bonds to justify their sale to renew the old The State now has surplus of more than A Sl, ,0O0, 900 in cash in its vault and has, Sf,500,000 on hand. That is . roagnificent showing, for new money is stiff pouring in from Texas. Many neonIe having put off their payments as ionR as posibfe. There VIII be large sunes from most of the counties for two months yet going to the treasury.
 Alabama bonds are better than gov arnmant bonds Thay are equally safe and they bear more interest. Every bonds isued by this State should be held by Alabama citizens, or corpora lions. Our banks have already bought large blocks of the State bonds and wifi no doubt, buy this new issue. Ruvipe bonds is rather new sensation to most Alabama men, but they are renidiv becoming customed to it. The new isue will complete the refunding of the state debt.

REAPING THE CROP.

The racial troubles in Ohio have one significant feature, and 1t looks as if something like retribution has over taken the people of that State. Ohio was a very hotbed and nursing place of abolitionism. The first abolition newspaper West of the Alleghanies was published there, and the famous "un- derground railroad" through and by which Southern slaves were stolen from their legitimate owners and carried to freedom, did much of it's detestable work in and across that State. Now the whites are reaping some of the seed they sowed. and a view of the situation from a Northern newspaper will be interesting. Is is from The Butte (Mont.) Inter-Mountain. which says: .-.
 The causes of the friction are few and easily understood. After the war thousands upon thousands of blacks poured into the North and, as Ohio In the days of the underground road had been their haven, preponderance nat urally came into that State. Mistaken phllanthropists were much t9 biame Tafon ror Woodruff, one of the founders of wyoming, Ohio, and a philanthropist of wealth. brought several thousand negroes from the South and gave them a townsite adjoining wyoming, start ing the needy on their way by giving them rent and endeavoring to find work for all. This black colony was designed to furnish cheap labor for the rapidly y-developing Southern Ohio dis tricts, Scattered among the whites, made amenable to law and brought under tue influence of culture Green wood might have advanced rapidly. But it constituted a township and the negroes being in the majority elected their own municipal officers. They had their own schools and knew no law but their own. The average colonist was not prepared f0r self -government and the condition, moral and financial, of the Greenwood people sank so rap idly that ncighbOrinG villages and the county Were obliged to Interfere In self protection
 Springfield is another one of those smaller Ohio cities vi ere the blacks are almost equal or more than equal in number to the whites. For years there was little trouble But the younger generation has become skilled In many of the mechar ,caI arts and from mere laborers ar, grown into artisans. Thcir tendency is to compete with white labor hy ,utting wages
 But labor differences c1nstitute only one of many causes of r.ciaI pretudice

SIDEWALK PENCnNGS
Arropo. of state Fair.

Speaking of the State Fair, said business man. T am reminded or the farmer who was bidding farewell to his son who was setting out Tor day In the city. Now Hiram, said the olu man. I want you to promise you won go to none O. hem theatres while you re down there The promise was Will lingly given. And. Hiram, l doh want you to attend any O them French balls, continued the old man, I want you to say you won't go near any them gambling houses To this request also satisfactory answer was given. Welt then. my boy. I feel l can trust ye. Heres a fifty ce1t piece Tor spendlhg money. but | don't want you to be ex- travagant.'
 Now, I think that father possessed the virtue of thriftiness to large de- gree, but l doubt If his son got any great results from his trip to the mes tropolis. 1t will be the same way here in Montgomery with regard 10 the Fair. We are going to be repaid by it according to the degree with which we enter into it. If we go into 1t whole heartedly, it Is going to be a big success. and the city of Montgomery Is going to reap huge benenLs rom it. If, on the other hand, we look questioningIy at every fifty-cent piece as did the old farmer, the Far isn't going to amount to so very much
 What the people Of Montgomery must do is to give the proJect the most loyal support. Otherwise we are not going to get any more satisfactipn out of it than did Hiram get out fof his trfp. It is up to Montgomery now. and I believe they realize 1t. and can De counted on to do the right thing

The Omaha World Herald says that "a dispatch from Berlin says that Hungarian inventor has perfected an electrical device that will do away with gunners in the navy and enable one officer to manipulate, aim and fire all the guns of the ship. and always hit what he shoots at. however rough Che weather and the sea"
 This IS the most astonishing an nouncement we have heard of and if it is true the naval battles Of the future will be fought without the need of sunners. Perhaps they may eventually dispense with guns also.

Tbe PoIIec Appointments.

q think there was general satisfac- tion to the public on the police ap- pointments recently made" said an ob- servant citizen yesterday. All along the line the appointees appear to be agreeable In every respect ana the pro motions received by each oficer are thought to have been deserved by them have yet to find person complain ing of the selections made.
 "One of the places is that of Day Sergeant McDade. There is more cier- ical work attached to this position than any other in the Police Depart- ment and there is incidentally q great deal of executive duties to perform The Day Sergeant is really the book keeper of the Police Department This place was efficiently filled by Miles Smith, who was appointed Police Cap tain. Mir. McDade Is an excellent eler- ical man and there is no doubt he will give the best of satisfaction in the work which he has to perform.
 Miles Smith went through his efh- cient service as Day Sergeant, stepped to a position which seems to glitter with all the good things. but there is more responsibility in being police cap tain than any other office except that of police chief Having risen from the ranks, Captain Smith will know how to manaNe the force without in- curing any Aissord. The patrolmen like him and they feel he will treat them with consideration
 The Night Sergeant, Mir. Ragiand, IS a man of keen intelligence and un- usual ability. The department is for tunate in having such man to care for it's headquarters at night.

 The suburbanite grunted his dissat- isfaction and snorted as he talked Of the alleged mistreatment by the city government of the people of the an- nexed territory of Montgomery.
 '"rhe promises of the city govern ment were mighty fine before we were annexed" he said. but the city gov ernment has failed to make good but few of these fine promises.
 T speak particularly of Highland Park, where I live" he went on. The condition of the streets of Highland Park are simply disgraceful. If they had allowed us to continue the muni- cipal government we had there we would have improved our streets but the great city of Montgomery Is doing very little for us beyond giving us re- ceipts for our taxes.
 we have no police protection, no fire protection and no street service. The city is laying water pipes and we have lights, but we had lights be- fore we were annexed.
 There is more indignation at High land Park over the treatment we have received from Montgomery, than the average citizen imagines and we want to see something for our taxes"
