Capital.
THE SMOKE OF THE BATTLE
Cleared Away—The Din and Roar Ceases and
Quiet Reigns.
THE WASHINGTON POST HAS ITS SAY
Gold Men Worth of the Tonnessee River
Are Likely to Vote Solidly for the
Republican Ticket—Silver
Is Coming.
Washington. D. C., Nov. 9.—(Speclnl
Correspondence.)—The smoke of battle
hag cleared away; the din and roar has
ceased, and where all was tumult on
Tuesday last now quiet reigns; the dead
have been consigned to the dust from
whence they came and the maimed and
dying have been removed from the field;
from the triumphant hosts ascends the
peans of victory and in the ranks of the
defeated a sullen silence stands ready to
break out in gloomy mutterings at any
moment.
New Jersey, Maryland and Kentucky
have left the moorings that have held
them for over a quarter of a century,
and swung Into line with Pennsylvania
and New England. The solid south has
been invaded by the enemy and nothing
but a miracle can keep them from mak
ing further inroads.
The results of last Tuesday’s election
must bring conclusively to the mind of
every thinking man that not until time
has worked a change in existing circum
stances can democracy hope to once
more gain ascendancy in the control of
the affairs of the nation; surely not in
1896. Hut the-time will come, when sel
fish greed has given way to lofty patriot
ism and fealty, when the scales have fall
en from the eyes and the shackles loosed
from the limbs of the people, when party
honor and party principles are held
above temporary expedients, thot will see
the followers of Jefferson and Jackson
exalted; but so long as Internecine strife
an internal dissensions continue Just so
long will the enemies of democracy tri
umph.
xne V' asnington x-osi ims unis tu say
of the meaning of the elections. The Post
Is an Independent democratic paper:
Since It came Into power, nearly three
years ago, the democratic party has done
nothing to commend Itself to the admi
ration and confidence of the people, and
there was no reason why the people
should, at this stage of affairs, withhold
the expression of their distrust and dis
content. They have had the spectacle of
a democratic administration antagoniz
ing and discrediting democratic leaders In
different states, interfering In local poli
tics everywhere, proscribing and perse
cuting party men of honorable service
and established fealty, and in various
other ways encouraging and aiding the
democracy's hereditary enemy. How
oould It be hoped, much less expected,
that an organization thus rent asunder
by dissension and enfeebled by the delib
erate Rets of Its appointed chiefs should
prevail against a compact, harmonious
and enthusiastic foe? It was not expect
ed, though loyal democrats may have
hoped against hope, and the result is that
the party has sustained a defeat far more
significant and momentus than even the
popular and passionate rebuke of 1894.
As to Silver.
That In the event the national dem
ocratic convention next year adopts a
platform favorable to silver every gold
bug democrat north of tlie Tennessee
river will vote for the nominee of the re
publican party is surely evidenced by the
result in Kentucky and the defeat of Ed
ward Lane In Illinois for congress from
the Eighteenth district. James H. Eckles
of Illinois, comptroller of the treasury,
appointed as a democrat, expressed his
great pleasure at Lane’s defeat, and Mr.
Scott Wike, also of Illinois, assistant sec
retary of the treasury, appointed as a
democrat, said his only regret was that
the majority £pr Hadley, the republican
Candidate, was not larger. Nobody but
he himself knows, but the Impression in
Washington is that Secretary Carlisle
scratched the name of Watt Hardin from
the ticket he voted in Kentucky.
Let us see how those states came up on
election day who, when the conventions
adopted resolutions inimlcable to silver
dnd indorsed the financial views of the
administration, there was great rejoic
ing among the goldite press of the democ
racy. In New York the democrats adopt
ed a gold platform; the state went over
whelmingly republican. In New Jersey
Mr. Cleveland's financial policy received
the unqualified indorsement of the de
mocracy, and for the first time in twen
ty-nine years n republican governor will
Sit In the executive chair. In Mary
land, a veritable stronghold of democ
racy. a gold platform was adopted; the
governor and entire legislature went re
publican. In Pennsylvania and Iowa a
gold platform was adopted by the democ
racy and the republicans won by 150,009
In one and an Increased majority in the
other. And Ohio, which, when Larry
Neal was defeated, tt was claimed that
defeat was had on account of the free

sllvet- platform, rolls up a much larger
vote for Buahncll than It did for McKin
ley, Neal’s opponent, and that after a
gold platform had been adopted and a
most vigorous campaign, with every sil
ver democrat In Ohio walking up to the
polls and loyally depositing his ballot for
the nominee of the party.
In Kentucky a convention packed by
influence from this city adopted a plat
form Indorsing the administration and
then the state went republican, losing
not only the head, but the entire ticket.
Hardin’s defeat alone might have shown
only the treachery of those democrats
who would not vote for a free sliver man
under any circumstances, but the entire
ticket and the legislature going republi
can shows where the trouble really was.
In Mississippi, where a silver platform
was adopted, the state went democratic
by an increased majority; also in Virgin
ia. where the question was the election of
a legislature to choose a successor to
Senator Daniel, a free silver man, out
and out, the state went defnocrattc, and
Senator Daniel, the silver advocate, will
succeed himself.

THE RIGHT KINO OF PUSH.
There Is not a man, woman or child In
Birmingham who wears shoes that does
not know St. Pierre, the shoe man. For
the past four years, when the panic had
the country by the l$g and soup houses
were as thick In Birmingham as mosqui
toes In a frog pond,, the little dapple grey
pony carrying 9t. Pierre's signs "Where
to Buy Your Shoes" was never lost sight
of. Through evil as well as through good
report this enterprising merchant has
stood, at times almost alone, crying “Up
with the flag—prosperity is a-coming,"
while at the same time he was going
down Into his pocket contributing to al
leviate distress.
Tb- State Herald mentions this not as
an advertisement, but to Illustrate the
truism of the adage that “Constant vig
ilance is the price of liberty,” not in war
fare alone, but in every avocation of life.
The shoe store of St. Pierre is as well
known In Birmingham and vicinity as
her furnaces and rolling mills, simply be
cause he has made his business subser
vient to every condition under which the
city has passed. If profits had to be cut
from 10 to2per cent down went the prices.
He ever reserved the right to let Bir
mingham. her people and the trading pub
lic know that he carried a first-class stock
and was in the field to do busiriess.
It is to such progressive men that Bir
mingham owes her resuscitation to life
again and caused her to throw off her
)ethargyr and move some things by mere
will power.

MINES OF THE BLACK HILLS.
‘ - \)
A Region of Puzzles, Such as Gold in Horn-*
blende and Nuggets in Quartz.
Correspondence Philadelphia Times.
The Black Hills of South Dakota are
a regiort of anomalies and constant sur
prises. You can count upon nothing ab
solutely except, perhaps, that it is one of
the greatest gold-bearing areas of the
continent. The geology of the upheaval,
particularly that of the auriferous forma
tions, puzzled the early scientists sadly
and the mining experts of the present
epoch who visit the region for the first
time, bringing with th'em reputation and
a wealth of information, theoretical or
acquired in other gold countries, are lia
ble to find accepted geological truths and
past experiences eqtlally at fault. Many
a mining engineer whose contributions
to the proceedings of the institute have
gained him distinction, and the coin
which rolls so liberally behind success'
In that profession, has been surprised,
puzzled and abashed by the rock enig
!mas of these hills..
One of these doctors of science, I am
told, after listening to the assertions by
a Hills miner that hornblende from the
ledge of his mine carried free gold, grave
ly assured him that it was impossible.
“Gold never occurs in hornblende,” said
the scientist.
“But I catch It In the pan,” Insisted the
man In a flannel shirt.

bargains in men’s, boys and
children’s olothing at

"Well, sir,” remarked the E. M. se
verely, "I should be triad to see aurifer
ous hornblendic rock. Science makes no
mention of such a formation, and years
of practical observation in a dozen min
ing districts has left me ignorant of its
existence.1'
“I'd be glad to show you some,” replied
the graduate of the pick, "and if you
don't mind walking down to my ground
I'll do it.”
The expert absented, a clod of the dark
greenish rock was takep from the ledge,
mortar and pan produced and at the mar
gin of a mountain stream the doctor saw
in the “heel” of the burnished gold pan
a train of free gold which completely
overthrew the lore of books. The man
who told me the story—an anti-scientist,
by the way—dotes upon the expert's
fianl conclusion. It Was something like
this: "Gold in hornblende? Impossible!
Gold does not occur in rock of this order,
but”—glancing at the pan—"it does in the
Black Hills."
Another geologist of national repute
refused a year or two ago to give a miner
the favorable report which a mill test
warranted, assigning as a reason that
the |30 or more In quartz ijuggets found
In the batteries did not come from the ton
of rock crushed. Tfyere was little fine
gold, and the profe&sor, though he had
personally conducted the test, announced
that the dull, rough nuggets must have
been introduced while his back was
turned. He believed, In sport, that he
had been "salted." HIS report did cred
it to his honesty, apd hl3 claim that
"nuggets rarely if ever occur in quarts”
was in accord with general scientific ob
servation. The deal was declared off and
the mine owner, who was probably as
Crysanthemum show 13th,
14th and 15th next to May &
Thomas. u-io-st
honest as the expert, called down Impre
cations upon the head of the man who
had ruined his sale. The presence of this
coarse gold In the batteries remained a
mystery. Some believed the miner
wronged. Others sided with science, and
it was not until the Holy Terror produced
hundreds of dollars in quartz nuggets
iast spring that the country gave a
unanimous verdict in favor of itself and
became a recognized producer of nat
ural ingots and gold liars. Two other
properties situated fully six miles distant
from the Terror, the Golden Slipper and
the Hazel, have quite recently reaffirmed
the miner’s favorite dictum, "Gold is
where you find it,” and it is not surpris
ing that expert opinion Is at present in
some disrepute.
But It is idle to deny that mining Is,
at best, something of a gamble. The
same is true of trade and agriculture.
The hazards Incurred by the inexpe
rienced miner who starts with a good
“surface prospect" are, perhaps, no
greater than those taken by the average
grocer or farmer. ^The 'chances of enor
mous profit compensate for the added
risk. Lawrence county, of which Dead
wood Is the center, has a score or more
of prospective millionaires. They are
mining and smelting at Deadwood, Oma
ha, Kansas City, Aurora and Denver, re
fracting gold ores which run from >20 to
$100 per ton. Mining, shipping and
smelting charges approximate $12 per
ton, and with blankets of sillcous ores
averaging 6 or 8 feet In depth and under
lying tracts of from ten to fifty acres,

fortune Is a. near prospect. The majority
of these men were common miners, and
Bohemian, Italian and Scandinavian
names now figure prominently In Dead
wood mining news. Several grocerymen
have made or lost fortunes by granting
or refusing $50 grub stakes. Capital, of
course, has taken large blocks of stock
in the best. Not a little eastern, Cana
dian and English gold has melted away
In ill-advised and badly managed ven
tures, but it is significant that every few
days the news comes that a rich strike
has been made upon some abandoned
property. Railways and cheaper meth
ods of treatment are helping to solve
mining problems that ten years ago were
beyond solution. The outcome of the
first two decides In Black Hills’ mining
is not surprising. It is hard now to un
derstand how disgusted investors "threw

CHAS. A, MERRITT INCANDESCENT LAMP.
Something New Always Attracts Attention,
More Especially When It Is of Gen
uine Utility.
This time Birmingham steps to the
front with the Merritt Incandescent
Lamp, patented by Charles E. Merritt of
this city, and for many years connected
with the postoffice.
Though recognized as a careful and
painstaking Employe of the government,
he has used his spare time in perfecting
his lamp of three or ipore filaments,
which, of course, lasts three times as
long as the ones now In general use.
It should be noted that as soon as the
single filament In the ordinary lamp has
burned out, the whole construction for
which the consumer has paid the regular
price, becomes worthless, while, on the
other hahd, the Merritt lamp has three
filaments, and when one is exhausted, by
a simple contrivance, the current Is
switched to a fresh fllament^and so on
until all have been exhausted.
But, again, should.the fconsumer desire
to Increase the Illumination for any spe
cial occasion, he can just as easily light
all three of the filaments, or as many as
need be.
The extra expense of these lamps is
slight when economy Is considered. It
was not surp^slng that the big factories
In the north vnd east refused to make
even a few samples at any price for Mr.
Merritt, ns they frankly told him that it
would ruin their business. But their
combine was not strong enough, and Mr.
Merritt presents for the inspection of the
public an article Invented In Birming
ham. and he would be glad to see an ex
tensive plant established here If the nec
essary capital can be Interested.
This great inventlon can be seen at the

DRUG AND
THINGS DRAMATIC.
An event of great social and dramatic
Importance will be the first appearance
in this city of William Morris as a star
tomorrow night In “The Lost Paradise.”
It was In this play as Reuben Warner
that William Morris achieved one of his
greatest successes. His manly portrayal
of the superintendent of the mills, who,
while working conscientiously for the In
terests of his principals, feels compelled,
In honor, to sympathize with the work
men, whose grievances are so vividly
pictured in the second act. A fitting cli
max and a genulna triumph of scenic
ahd dramatic art is shown when the
doors of the office are thrown open, dis
closing to view the ponderous machinery
In perfect detail, and at thp order <jf the
superintendent ^hfe men close down, the
wheels cease to revolve, and notwith
standing the sacrifice he mantes of his
own personal benefit, he Jolfls them in
the hour of trouble, when a clear, cool
.head is required to guide them.
A pretty, Interesting love scene is car
ried throughout the play, and our hero
appeals to the daughter of the millionaire
mill owner to prevail upon her father to
listen to the voice of the people. Her
words are not in vain. The parent yields
to the entreaties of his child and the pa
thetic Instance of a half-starved, delicate
child, daughter of one of the oldest em
ployes of the town, visiting the palatial
mansion, concludes the great scene,
which Illustrates so plainly the differ
ence between their situations. Sufficient
comedy Is Infused to alleviate the som
bre effect of the troubles of the working
class.
As a popular play “The Lost Paradise”
certainly ranks foremost in the memory
of those who have seen it.
A play which appeals to both the upper
and middle classes is a rarity Indeed,
and the two greatest exponents of this
idea have been written by American au
thors. One was written by the late Bart
ley Campbell, “My Partner,” and the
most forceful and impressive production
by the late H. S. DeMille.
In the role of Reuben Warner Mr. Mor
ris has achieved a lasting success. Of
Vhe many roles he has interpreted that of
the superintendent of the mlll3 has per
haps been his most prominent. By his
vigorous assertions of jvhat equity con
sists he brings out of chaos a most har
monious ending.
The entire construction of “The Lost
Paradise" interests the audience
throughout, and a sense of relief is felt
when the curtain falls upon a general ar
rangement in which justice prevails.
“Trilby’s” Success.
r ew novels win ten uunng me last
twenty-five or thirty years have had so
wide a reading and been so generally dis
cussed as l)u Mau Her'* “Trilby." Its pe
culiar title piqued curiosity at the
outset and the story, told in such an un
conventional manner, appealed to the
people as few stories have ever appealed.
Trilby’s character and the virtues of the
three men, in whose studio in the Latin
quarter of Paris, where so many of the
scenes are enacted, have been discussed
so seriously as if they were not merely
the creatures of the brain of the famous
French artist, who has turned his pen to
better account than his brush or his pen
cil. The story has aroused a great deal
of controversy, and few are indifferent to
its merits or demerits. It has positive
champions and equally positive oppo
nents. It surprised many when it was an
nounced that the novel was to be drama
tized. when it was known that Trilby
was to try her strength upon the dra
matic, as she had upon the concert stage
surrounded by her old friends, Little 1311
lee, Gecko, Tarty and the Laird, for the
story seemed to lack great dramatic pos
sibilities. But Trilby's triumphs on the
stage were not much Inferior to those en
joyed while she was singing under the
dominating influence of Svengall's will.

Butterlno is a much abused product.
As a matter of fact it is pure, sweet,
wholesome, and infinitely preferable to
ordinary country butter. A special
correspondent of this paper recently
vi.-ited the factory owned and operated
by the Armour Packing Co., of Kansas
City, manufacturers of the widely ad
vertised Silver Churn Bu t.ferine. A
five story building la perfectly fitted
for the scientific preparation of this
food product. Everything is spotlessly
clean; all appliances are tlie latest and
most improved, and every precaution is
taken to secure the production of c an
absolutely pure and wholesome food.
All processes are under the direction of
a foreign chemist who has made th9
skillful combination of pure sweet fats
the study of his life.
Prof. Charles Chandler, of New York
City, says; “The product la palatable
and wholesome and 1 regard it as a
most valuable article of food.”
Prof. J. S. W. Arnold, Medical De
partment, University of New York,
says: “A blessing for the poor, and in
every way a perfectly pure, wholesome
and palatable article of food.”
