That veteran Democrat, Colo nel Watterson. feels impelled to warn the Southern people against the in- trusion of the various political "isms" which are rampant in the stronghold of the Democratic party. He publishes daily installments of a syllabus of political errors Into which he conceives many adherents of the Democratic faith have fallen; but to what purpose? The anathemas of the elder statesmen fall upon the deaf ears of a wicked and perverse generation which knows them not.
 There Is something finely heroic in the devotion of the old-lIne Democrat ic statesmen of the South to their party principles-principles which, however much they may seem out of date to the younger set have a real bearing upon the conduct of government, and serve as a certain guide to political action.

 --RfSae Teams Leave for Ohio.

Mobile, Aug. 22.--(Special. )--The special meeting Of the Council called for tonight to hear the veto Of the Mayor on the proposed purchase of the oity park passed at the last meeting developed into one of the spfciest meet ings in the history of the Council when Alderman A. S. Lyons took the floor and in addition to differing wide ly with the Mayor scored~ah afternoon paper in the plainest of language for ridiculfnR the Council members about the purchase of the park.
