Rut the Tribune baa always been an allianco lighter, and helped Dr. Felton in his hallohuja licks againt the democratic party last fall, simply because the alliance captured the nomination. there appears to be a reasonable hope that the democrats will again elect their ticket, and if they do elect it they will turn up in the convention next year with the claim that they are entitled to some consideration in the selection of the can didate. Whether this claim will bo allowed or not is another matter, but it may have a very material lulluence upon the action of the convention, and the possiblity of its being presented make the contest in Pennsylvania more in- Good news comes from Iowa.

One of these, Maj. Richmond, of Council RlufTs, a prominent member, too, of the Grand Army of the Republic, predicts that tile Democratic nominee will be rc-clected by 25,000 majority. Tuk democratic vote of Hamilton county is about ono-cigbth of that of the entire state of Ohio. It would be a serious loss to the party if this vote should be turned over to McKinley, but that is not possible. It is tho political leaders iu Hamilton county who are dis affected, and the fact that they were sat down on will win tho party more votes than their disaffection can loso it. the Keystone state will rid herself of the domination of the set of political trick sters now in control there, whatever her resulting political status may be.

Tuk negroes, it is stated, are in open revolt against President Harrison in In dianapolis, and they declare that they will not vote for him if he is nominated, becauso of the systematic manner in which he has ignored them when the pie was passed around. President Harri son when he heard of the stato of affairs among tho colored brethren sent tho negro Bruce, of Mississippi, who is a chronic officeholder under republican administrations, to fix things, but the presence of Bruce hail no more effee than to add fuel to tho flames.

Tho investigation, however, is abandoned for this reason, because it is sure to bring out a great deal of his rascality and enable the American peo ple to view him in hir true light. Democratic primaries held in a num ber of counties in Mississippi last week indicate that United States Senator George has a big lead in his candidacy for rc-clcction. Out of forty-seven democrats who have thus far been nomi nated for the legislature, forty are for George. Major Barksdale has secured only seven. Tho latter Is making his canvass on the sub-treasury platform, but this does not take with thb Missis sippi democrats, and most of the coun ties that have acted have denounced it In the strongest terms. Despite his declination, the Indications are that Senator Walthall will be chosen as hi* own tucceuor. them to step up to the rack, fodder or no fodder, they will step quick. The official report of the physicians present at the four executions in Sing Sing must prove a death blow to any at tempt to repeal the new law and silence all prating about “cruel and unusual punishment." “The experience of the day,” concludes the report, "has proved to our satisfaction that this method Is superior to any other yet devised.” Oilier states have doubtless been watch ing the result of this experiment in New York with a view to the adoption {of the reform.

So far the scheme may be worked out according to programme without much trouble, but when it comes to the prac tical feature a great many farmers will be found planting as much as ever in order to take advantage of the high prices expected to result from a short crop. And so many will obey this self ish impulse that there will actually be no great reduction in acreage. While it is not probable that any or ganized effort of this sort will amount to much, it certainly is desirable that the acreage of cotton should be largely reduced. Sucb reduction and greater diversification have been urged by the papers for a great many years. It is hard for the farmers to bo convinced when they reach the limit of profitable production. They will cling to cotton long because it is a money crop. It is only when convinced that they can em ploy their labor more profitably on other crops that they will give less attention to cotton. The Constitution is always fine, but last Sunday’s issue was a wonder in Georgia journalism. Photographing and sketching biographically the entire legis lature in one single issue is journalistic enterprise no southern paper ever ac complished, and there are only a few metropolitan journals that ever achieved such surprising success. Editor Clark no well and his able staff assistants have just cause to feel proud of the Constitu tion, the most progressive newspaper of tho south. It will be interesting to see who is successful in tho fight between Govern or Northen and Col. L. F. Livingston over the appointment of a judge for the county court of Milton county. Gov. Northen has appointed Mr. Dickson but Col. Livingston wants Mr. Edwards, and tho senate lias declined to confirm the appointment. The fight is on between Livingston and Northen in good earnest, and the war is being carried into Egypt. A nice line of extracts, colognes, toil et waters, Ac., at Dr. Eldridge Drug Store.
