NOSIK ItKPlini.ICIA’X PI1II.OH.
OPIIV.
The condition of Affairs In Alabama
seems to have given tbe Republican
party the shadow of n forlorn hope
that the Solid South may be broken.
Editor Halstead, In n lettor to tbe
New York Herald, cites .the Alabama
case, where there are eleators in the
field unlnstruoted, except against
Cleveland. Undcr the constitution, he
says, these electors have the right to
cast their vote for sny eligible oltlzen
of the United States from Tom Wat
son up. Assuming that the constitu
tion furnishes a loophole by which
this party of maloontents can obtain
their jsocalled rights, Mr. Halstead
goes on to say: #
“It is not Impossible or improbable
Mint several Southern States may be
captured on tills plan nnd tile defeat of
Cleveland insured even if lie carries
New York. Suppose Alabama, Geor
gia, South Carolina, Mississippi, Lou
isiana nnd Tennessee go for unpledg
ed electors. Wlmt reason Is there to
doubt that the Democratic electors of
New York, If ohosen, would Join the
SouMutrji Independents nml innugur-
ntn a constitutional revolution!'’'
In Its vain pursuit of that Republi
can will-o'-the-wisp, the breaking of
the Solid South, the g. o. p. In Its
drowning struggles will grasp at every
straw.
In regard to Mie Alabama case, it
will be rcndlly seen Mint while there
Ims been danger, tbe foot' Mint many
of the Knlbltos have refused to join
their lender’s mongrel move, leaves
the Democrats i.i the State with n ma
jority.
Mr. Halstead is counting chickens
from over-rlpo eggs, for the little
Third Party revolution, now nt Its
height, will have been swept from the
country after the November elections.
The absurdity of his Ideas is painfully
evident when he makes the supposi
tion that Democratic eleotors from
New York would Join nn Independent
movement; but it borders upon Idiocy
when he implies that there is n proba
bility of there being such a movement
among the Southern States.
No, the Democratic party In the
South is Imrmoiiious and so it wilt re
main, When the title of ballots rolls
up In November Mr. Halstead will
IInd that Georgia, Alabama, North
Carolina, and the Southern States all
are still solidly in the Democratic col
umn, and that the Alabama case will
hnve no bearing whatever on tl|e situ
ation.
The Grand Army of the Republic
Ims taken Washington by storm. It
was not a storm of Artillery however.
Weaver bus no doubt found out by
this time that Georgia is not a Field
for missionary work. At Lease, not
his sort.
Now wk don’t need any more cam
paign speeches in Albany soon. The
Democrats don’t need anything more
on that line for the present; the Re
publicans won't Imre tt, and as for the
lone Third Party man who is reported
to have been discovered in the county,
just (et him do Wit hour or lure a hall
and talk to himself.

plank In the Democratic platform, If should demonstrate conclusively to the
the advooates of that something better
will Just turn a willing ear, listen
learn nnd understand.
Tlmt plank reads: “We recommend
that the prohibitory ten per cent tax
or State hank Issues be repealed.”
It Is well known that the present
National banking system Is obnoxious
to many clnsses In the country, and it
ts nlao well known that in a few years
the government bonds which secure
the national bank issues will fall due.
nml unless they substitute similar se
curities, they will have to call in their
notes.
As n substitute which will furnish
just exactly what many are elajftiorlhg
for, Misstate banks must he looked to.
With their Issues properly secured,
and no Kindi' restrictions and limita
tions thrown around them ns now
hamper national banks, they would
supply the exact want. Here are some
of the advantages to be obtained under
their existence:
1. They would Insure nn equitable
distribution of the loanable feuds
throughout the different sections of
the country.
3. They could lonn money on real
estate and non-per’shnble farm pro
duct*, thus affording just the remedy
for which the farmer lias been so long
clamoring.
8. They would enlarge the circulat
ing medium, and furnish the country
with a safe, sound, flexible nnd elastic
currency, enslly convertible Into coin.
■I. The State and county bonds held
ns security for such notes, could he
negotiated at n much lower rate of In
terest, say a per cent., Distend of from
5 to 7 per cent., ns Is now the ease,
thereby saving immense amounts In
taxation fb the people every year.
The people of eleven Southern Stales
now pay an average of 7 per cent, on
county bonds amounting to *lB, IH7,ii()!l,
nnd on Statu bonds amounting to :>IS5,-
7aa,017. Cut the interest down to a
per cent., and the Immense snving will
nt once he evident. State banks would
readily purchase these bonds Alt such
a low rate of interest for the privilege
of Issuing tliclr notes.
5. State hanks would give the citi
zens of a community power to control
these Issues in tliclr own neighbor
hood. Citizens ownlpg stock in such
institutions could have a voice In the
management of those monetary nlVnlrs
wliloh most nearly concerned I hem
nnd their uwn community.
6. They would require no examina
tion hy United States olHcints. Offi
cers eleoted by the people of the State
would see that they complied with the
laws which permitted the issuanue of
nutes.
7. To secure tile people to whom
these notes are Issued ngnfast any
possible loss, it is proposed
to requiro them lirst to make a deposit
with some designated officer of the
State or United StateB of a sufficient
number of bonds of the United States,
or nny one of the States, oountiea, or
cities, which ut pnr will equal the* cir
culation which Is to be issued hy the
bank; second, by a first lien upon nil
the assets of l lie hunk; third, by the
additional liability of the stockholders
to the extent'of I DO per cent, over
above the sum netunlly paid in by
them fur tliclr stuck.
These nre facts Which are worth
one’s white to think about. TheyTur-
tiisli the needed supply of u safe, elas
tic currency with power to loan on
real estate and other property, amply
secured by government bonds, whether
State or county.

R«a H. Record Bad*
From the Knrly County News.
There were present at our Demo

some doctors, lawyers and newspaper
men.
lion. Hen E. Rii&seU’s character was
the subject under discussion, nnd
while Col. Oliver, a stanch Russell

following colloquy took place:
“Do you personally know Ben Rus

“I do.”
“Did he ever kill anybody?”
“He lias not—he never practiced

“Don’t you know he is a common

“O, no—he is by no means a lawyer.”
“Did you ever know tiinr to be guilty

“Yes—lie—did edit a newspaper.”

DEPOT.
Albany’s new passenger depot is
still unoccupied.
After so long a lime; after being
held otf hy broken promises upon the
part of the railway authorities or by
one protext or another for year**, tin*
Railroad Gonunlssion came to onr n -
slstanre, and, after still more dillyilnl-
IIng nnd delay nit agreement: wns
finally reached by which a depot was
built.
But now It appears that t li- mails
either didn't agree or that the agree
ment wns not clearly umlerstooil.
The depot is ready for occupancy
and use, but Hie roads are bickering
over the basisUpon which they shall
pnrttidpnfe, respectively, in the joint
use of the place.
The troohie seems to he with ref

Central shall nome in In paying for
the* depot. The basis of cost to the
dllfcreut ronils is fixed on the basis of
the passenger business done here by
till* roads, respectively, anil It appears
that tin* Central declines to pay the
forty per cent of the cost allotted to It.
And then the Sam rund says it will
notenme In until the Central does.
Thus the matter stands. IVe have a
new pnsseuger depot, but it is not In
use. The Mayor and Council have
seemingly done all in their power in
the premises, and now the Railroad

“Under the proposed amendment,
Hi*re would be no discretion in the
Secretary of State. He would be com
pelled to grant charters to nny per
sons who oonformed to the provisions
of the law in reference to publication,
notice, fees, eto. If he refused the
courts would compel him by man

would It he wise to entrust, the Secre

The power to grant such franchises
and privilegesor to refuse them should

but in this country we have no king,
nor do we desire to see any man ex

The Athens sohoolsof the University

As has been suspected, all along, the
tin-plate manufactory at Ellwood, In
diana, is being maintained at the ex
pense of the Republican campaign-
fund. The mill whioh was put up in)
Ohio under the direction of Governor
McKinley went into the hands of the
sheriff, and now the Indiana mill Is
on the same road. It was expected
that Governor McKinley’s speech*
would boom the stock, but the shares
are still in tbe bands of the original
builders who will require more aid
from the Republican campaign com
mittee if the mill is to be run until
after the election.
The Republicans are boasting that
they captured the Kolb electoral ticket
in Alabama, and they claim that the
electoral vote of Alabama is practi
cally assured to Harrison. Chris Mc
Gee, who has taken Boss Quay’s place,
boasts that he has made the capture
beyond all shadow of a doubt, and that
the Republicans will unite with the
Kolb faction. He fails to observe,
however, that many of the supporters
of Kolb have considered discretion the
better part of valor, and will remain
