Tbs State Temperance Alliance will assemble

A1 o’clock this morning.—Montgomery Dispatch.
It is to be regretted that the entire
delegation should have been “pulled"
'for ta'king too much the first night they
i landed .in Montgomery. It is just too
'aw“nli tor anything. His honor in trying
the culprits should remember, however,
. that they are non-residents, and natural-
Uy didn’t know how to gaugo the effects

Rev. Myron Reed has bten elected to
congress by the democrats from Colorado.
He is described as a brilliant but erratic
man, of warm temperament and restless
Spirit. He lived for a number of years at
1 ndianajioHs, where ho made his ser
mons exceedingly lively and interesting
hy giving them a local and personal ap
plication. Even then he took a very
great interest in polities, though ho con
fined his attention mostly to local gtlairs.
It is said that the Rev. Reed is likely to
make himself heard from, and to cut
quite a prominent and no unenviable
. figure in the house.
The Pensacola shipping convention
has adjourned after passing a number of
resolutions setting forth the importance
of using all proper means to revive the
American mercantile marine, rests its
chief hope of success in being able to
educate the people of the United States
into a sense of national pride, so that
they will demand of their representatives
in congress the extension of national as
sistance to this great industry. Tho pros
pects of such aid are not promising just
now. Apparently American steamship
lines will have to depend on their own
resources. Those which are operated in
■connection with railways have been able
4o sustain themselves best,
IT'S THE TIUiTH TIUT HURTS.
The things that crawl sod hiss, the beasts that
feed upon both the tiring and the dead, the moral
hyenas that prowl by night, and the Insects that
sting by day, have all been summoned to feed
upon the character of the highest official In the
nation, whose only offense consists In resisting
the importunities of political beggars, in refusing
to surrender his high trust to bosses, real and
would-be, and in sternly discharging what he
conceives to be his duty to his country and hiB
party—New York Star.
When a journal that assumes to he the
mouthpiece of the administration deems
it necessary, in justification of Mr. Cleve
land's angry criticism of the press, to use
language so palpably .extravagant, it is
tho natural and fair conclusion of most
men that a dispassionate defense of the
president—a calm appeal to the facts al
leged to constitute hisgric vanceand excuse
his tirade—could not he made. This
overcharged blunderbuss burst ut the
breech. The plain truth is that Mr.
Cleveland lias been well treated hy the
press—more considerately, in some re
spects, than he deserves to be treated. If
he is unhappy there’s no one but him
self to blame. A public officer, whether
the "highest in the nation” or the low
est, who chafes under the misinformation
concerning him that will inevitably find
its way into print now and then, or
who growls at humorous personalities,
has either a disordered liver or a bad
case of big head. Mr. Cleveland’s physi
cal condition, from all accounts, could not
be improved.
A WARK1IO TO EKOLAlfD.
Michael Davitt’s visit brings to mind
the old story of King Canute. Flattered
by his false counsellors who told him so
supreme was his power that even nature
would obey his bidding, he had his
throne placed on the beach at low tide.
He sat himself down clad in his regal
finery and commanded the waves of the
advancing tide to roll back. But King
Canute’s imjierial orders were but empty
words ; the tide kept creeping on and on
until it lapped, and finally encircled the
very throne itself. To-day the English
tory government is like King Canute sit
ting on his throne rind ordering the wa
ters of the sea to retreat. The tide that
now is rising is tho universal demand
that justice be done to Ireland, and that
the wrongs of four centuries he righted.
This tide of popular feeling can no more
be stopped nor allayed than could the
rising waves of the ocean by the king’s
behest. Let England’s government hear
and heed before the waves of this great
movement close around the throne and
swallow it up forever. Il imiHt heed or
look forward to the alternative of the
united republic of England, Scotland and
Ireland.

It is likely that the labor men who
will occupy seats in the next congress
will cut a wide swath, as our rural friend
in harvest season would say. There is
never a time in the history of the com
moners, no matter how important the
subject discussed, no matter how spirited
the discussion, but all will give way
when some one rises with, “Mr. .Speaker,
I have a labor resolution to introduce.”
Before a velvety-handed champion of
labor the most arrogant lender in tho
house becomes dumb, sinks down into
his scat and retires into his shirt eollar
as tho humble tortoise retires into his
conchoiogica! tenement. The labor con
gressmen will need no sword and buckler
in the fiftieth congress. They can exer
cise a tyranny as despotic as is that of
the first baby in a household.
The-EARTHQUAKE

which followed, caused some uneasiness, not to say dismay, among the Leaders and
Regulaters of the Universe.

The Non. John J. Kleiner, democrat,
of the first Indiana district, is a philoso
pher ns well as a practical politician. He
commenced his congressional career with
the forty-eight congress, was re-elected to
the forty-ninth, anil refused a nomina
tion to the fiftieth. lie explains that
after the democratic victory in 1884 he
was . so badgered by applications for
office that lie was completely prevented
from even keeping track of the course of
business in the house. Ho seems to have
give up trying, for out of 134 post
offices he secured changes in 183, and
the other was a presidential office. Now,
this “clean sweep” was made with the
purpose of -satisfying the democratic
party in the district, and was not com
plicated with any personal schemes.
What was the result? The district which
Mr. Kleiner had carried twice in succes
sion with the federal “patronage"
against him, the last time by- a majority
of some 1500, was this fall carried by the
republican candidate, Mr. Hovey, by a
majority of nearly 1700. In the words
of a shrewd and witty observer of much
experience, “It is not the appointment
that tells; it’s the disappointment.”
WEATHKK PROPHETS.
Another Wiggins is on deck in the per
son of one Prof. Foster. Prof. Foster
blithely promises to turn loose a few snow
storms, tornadoes and blizzards to ravage
the country from the 4th to the 19th of
December. The learned professor cheer
fully assures us that there will be much
property destroyed, many lives lost,
that telegraph and telephone wires will
be platted up in inextricable confusion,
that railway travel will be impossible
and that all the other incidents of a first-
class tough time will be on hand accord
ing to advertisement. Somehow it seems
impossible to get rid of these foretellers
of disaster. One prophet doth tread
upon another’s heels, so fast they follow.
If one-half tho storms, earthquakes, and
other like calamities which have been
foretold with such minuteness of state
ment were to occur, this terrestrial ball
would long ago have been pulverized,
and the dust of it scattered among the
stars. But the only one thing that we
can know with absolute certainty about
the weather is that it will never fulfill
the predictions of its prophets.
THE llODEUN JOURNALIST.
An incident has occurred in St. Louis
which illustrates the characteristics re
quired of the modern journalist in some
places. In that western city a reporter
wrote and published a falsehood about
the editor of another paper. He was at
once dismissed from his situation as a
sort of apology to the maligned editor,
but next day he was engaged on ilie
very paper whose editor lie had lied
about. The excuse for taking him on
was that he was a good liar and his
services were valuable. After February
next we will he able to recomn.ead a
