The fleet of tow boats with loaded coal boats, which left Pittsburg Thanksgiv ing Day, are having a hard and some what rocky route to travel, and as much as 275,000 of the 5,760,000 bushels of coal is reported wrecked and lost between Pittsburg and Wheeling. This demon strates again the dangers which ale at tendant upon the shipment of coal by barges from Pittsburg to the markets of Cincinnati, Louisville, Cairo, Memphis, Vicksburg and New Orleans, and makes npparent the advantages of Alabama coal operators over their Pittsburg com petitors in the supplying of coal to the river markets of Memphis and the ter ritory lying south of that city. Upon the shipment of the 5,760,000 bushels above referred to, the reader will observe nt a glance that the loss is nearly 5 per cent of the entire amount of the coal al ready started. Ice gorges often entail heavy losses, and each year for some four or five last year the percentage of loss has been annually increasing, and 1805-6 starts out to perpetuate the record apparently. If the average Pittsburg operator desires to retain the trade al ready built up by him in the south it would seem that the logical way to ef fect it is to open up coal mines here in the Birmingham district from which to supply their customers in New Orleans, etc. Keep your health good by taking Hood’s Sarsaparilla, the one true blood purifier._ Men’s *12 suits *8.95.

The Cleburne County Standard-News so concludes: “The Standard-News believes that it will not be wise for the democracy of Alabama to endeavor to settle the silver question in a campaign in the party primaries. Let us eliminate that ques tion and go to work to make an accept able ticker without regard to individual belief on that line. A fight in the party will surely do no good, but is liable to weaken the party.” See our stock of swell um brellas at very low prices. H. C.

The sentiment In favor of a short presi dential campaign next yoar is growing daily.’ On this point the thinkers of both parties seem to bo united.—New Haven News. Tho movement to shorten the presiden tial campaigns of the future is most com mendable, und its success would bring much rcliof to tho peoplo of tho country. The average voter is intelligent onough to thoroughly size up candidates and weigh issues in tho period of two mouths. By all means let. the campaign bo-shortened.— Concord (N. H.) Monitor. When men are talking politics and ar guing national issues they can neither sell nor make goods, nor give their whole at tention to businoss. To prolong this sort of tiling is not ul all necessary, and there is do good reason why tho nominations j should Dot bo modo in August ns wall ns iu June. Them will be plenty of time in throe months to discuss nil the Issues and give tho voters nil tho information they can ncoept or uso. No interest could suffer from such change, und many would be benefited. There is n very pronounced ex pression in favor of shorter presidential campaigns.—Utica Press.
