The men elected to make laws have been led around by the nose long enough. and We believe they will resent any attempt at bossism, as Is indicated in the call for the unnecessary assemblage of the legislators at this time

 Friend of The sPeepul." Culiman Democrat.
 When a fellow gets too strongly in favor of the "peepul," those unfor- tunates should not forget to keep the smoke house locked. The gold brick artist always comes with sweetness dripping from his mouth and benevo- lence streaming from his eyes. Keep your hand on your pocket book and nail down everything that happens to be laying around loose.

 The Right of Petition Atmore Spectrum.
 A few days ago a respectful request was made to Governor Conner by some business men Of Birmingham and Mont, gomery regarding the calling of an ex- tra session of the Legislature, but the Governor laughed them to scorn and said: If necessary I will call the Legislature together again and will call 1t again and again"

 Where The Increase Went. Mobile Register.
 It may be a bit surprising to the average Alabamian to learn that all the increases in appropriations were not for schools and old soldiers. For instance the annual expenses of the S77,OO0 greater than they were when the legislature met in January. The laborer is worthy of his hire, and there should be speedy rendering of justice, but it may be well asked why should there be an increase in judicial ex- penses at this time which is greater than the whole cost was twenty-five years ago.
 A Deserved VIndIcatiOR. CarroIlton Alabamian-H Herald.
 The vindication of the heads of the Alabama Insane Hospitals of any wrong in the management of the in- stitutions is a matter of particular in- terest to the people of this county. Mount Vernon is in charge of Drs. E: L. McCafferty and Somervillc. both of this country, and while their friends felt sure they were innocent of any mistreatment of the inmates of the in- stitutions yet they were anxious that the investigation occur so that these gentlemen might be entirely exhonerat- ed before the people of Alabama. The report of the Committee on Investiga- ton was all that the friends of the institutions could desire and shows that the charges brought against those in charge of the hospitals were absolute ly false.
 ChastenIng Dallas.
 Poor old Dallas. She saved the state from negro rule. Furnished statesmen without peers. Yielded. 2 political prestige stronger than that or a half dozen counties to secure through new constitution everlasting white supremacy and "a fair vote and honest count" Stood as one man for demo- craey, right or wrong for a half cen tury. A banner county in support of Conner for Governor. And to think when Jelks. who Dallas delighted to criticise adversely. left his chair and the treasury to overflow, patriotic Dal- las is forced to pay taxes on an in- creased property valuation of $2,0OO,- 900 to defray the expenses of the ex- travagant administration of MT. Conner The scripture teaches us that whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and it may be that 1t Is not because Conner loves Dallas less but his favorite and in- fluential son-in-law and recording secretary more, who lead his campaign In DallaH
