CHRISTMAS HAY.
On this day, when wo commemorate the
birth of the Son of Man, whom we wor
ship as the Savior of mankind, it is inter
esting. in view of the events which are
now agitating out country, to reflect upon
tiie words of Hon. William Everett of
Massachusetts, delivered a few days ago
at a public* meeting near Boston. He said:
“Mr. Chairman, we shall in less than a
week lie celebrating all over this country
the birth of the Savior of mankind. Jesus
was born at a time of profound peace,
so grateful to a world that had been
racked with war for a century, that mem
worshipped as a God the crafty emperor
who achieved it. From 100,000 churches
next Wednesday will be repeated the an
gels' song: ‘Peace on earth, good will
towards men.’ Do we propose to re
nounce our Christianity and listen not
to a Christian angel, but to the demon of
a heathen Saturnalia, yelling: 'War on
earth, ill will toward men?’ There are
those who believe Jesus to have been
merely a good man and the angels’ song
a visionary legend. If men will believe
doctrines so absurdly heathenish let
them, hut let no man who still holds to
his Christian profession dare to enter a
house of prayer next Wednesday, or ask
his children to dance in glee round a
tree resplendent with the gifts of Christ’s
birthday, if he is giving the lie to his
Master's religion by seeking national hon
or and the elevation of humanity in the
horrors, ordelties. crimes of war.
“In the name of him. my Lord and Mas
ter. the Prince of Peace. I call on all who
are his votaries to make their voices
heard against that which in all ages of
th world has proved a boundless evil,
and which our nation is too mighty, too
glorious, too civilized, to sanction for the
flake of a fancied good.”
ANOTT-IWH TRSUJ5.
Tlie decision of the president to Is
sue another lot of gold bonds to keep the
endless chain in motion is not unexpect
ed. The derision to issue $4,000,000 of
4 per rents to run thirty years entails
an Interest debt upon us of $48,000,000.
This replenishment of tlie gold reserve
may last two weeks, or it may last only
two days. Are we to iro on forever pil
ing up a monstrous debt to provide
gold for the money chest of
Great Rritain? I-Iere we are in the face
of questions that suggest war, and in
stead of strengthening our coffers and
preparing to meet the storm that may
come, we are devising means whereby
our gold may be rapidly removed to
Great Rritain. or may be locked up in
tlie vaults of the hoarders.
With this new loan of $40,000,000 there
will have bo, n issued $192,000,00 of bonds
since Mr. Ch \ . land entered upon his sec
on 1 term. What has become of this vast
sum of money?
The New York Journal of Commerce
has investigated the matter. It shows
from official records, that of the first twot
Issues the lenders of the gold wdthdrew
$45,000,000 in gold from the treasury,
either in advance, to make good their sub
scrlpttons or afterwards to replace la
their vaults the gold they paid Into the
treasury as subscriptions for the bonds.
In the arrangement for the third loan,
In consideration of a price being made
which enabled the syndicate to make
$11.000.000 profit, the direct withdrawals
of gold from the treasury by the men and
corporations that had paid it in for bonds
was provided against. The operations In
foreign exchange, however, during the
last few months show that this method of
looting the treasury was only temporari
ly arrested. The New York Journal of
Commerce shows that the exchange oper
ations Introduced to avert gold exports
up to October entailed the maturing of
large amounts of foreign bills subse
quently, for the settlement of which some
$20,000,000 of gold has been drawn from
tb • treasury and sent to Europe; and this
movement still continues.
There is little doubt that, as asserted
by the Journal of Commerce, the percent
er of withdrawal consequent on the
third loan will prove to be as great as
that attending the other two, which
means that 43 per cent of the gold paid
into the treasury in exchange for the
bunds was drawn out again as an essen
tial feature of the transaction.
Thus in two years the United States
treasury lias bought $132,000,990 of gold
from the gold hoarders issuing long
term bonds therefor at a high rate of
interest. Of this gold only a little more
tiian $70,000,000 is now in the treasury.
Arid the people have got to pay the $132.
00;i.000 of interest ,1ust the same, and also
to l.-ifiuc more bonds to buy more gold.
When will this thing stop? The presi
dent is determined to maintain his poli
cy. and congress appears determined
not 'o provide him with means to pursue
Some other course.

Th° State Herald long ago abandoned,
the (ask of trying to please the Montgom
ery Advertiser. It finds It much easier
in pi, isp the people of Alabama, and in
that respect feels assured that it is suc
ceeding most admirably. The best evi
dence of this is the vapid addition of
names to our subscription books, which
are pouring in from all sections of the
state. The territory once covered by
the. Advertiser in the lower counties of
Alabama now belongs to lie State Her
ald. this paper having the advantage of
reaching every point south of Montgom
ery at the very hour the Advertiser does,
besides running ahead of that paper at
points north, east and west of Montgom
ery.
But what seems to most particularly
disturb Urn Montgomery Advertiser at
this time is the announcement by the
management that the State Herald will
tie served to subscribers after January
1 at $0 tier annum, whereas the old
fashioned Advertiser still denies the pub
lic tlie pleasure of reading its pages for
less than $10 per annum.
Here Is the angry groan of the Adver
tiser of yesterday. We republish it in
full that our readers may fully compre
hend the animus: #
j?ignrmgxt-s juvhi.
"The Birmingham State Herald says it
'already enjoys the largest circulation of
any newspaper in Alabama,’ but at (he
same time ir announces a heavy reduc
tion in its subscription price. If it has
such a big subscription revenue, why
does it offer such an unusual Inducement
to subscribers? Actions speak louder
than words.
"The true inwardness of the situation
is that tlie Birmingham Evening News,
with its heavy local circulation, has the
bulge on the Stale llcrald with local ad
vertisers, and hence the latter paper has
found it necessary to enter into a survl
val-of-the-littest contest with the News
by u heavy cut in subscription price.
"There is no morning newspaper of
any consequence outside of the largest
cities that takes subscriptions at the
price of evening papers. Birmingham is
much too small a place for the under
taking to succeed in. and it will not take
long for the public to find this out, for
the consequences will be apparent.
"Many people may ask if the Adver
tiser proposes to met the cut of its Bir
mingham contemporary. In reply we
l.eg leave to say we prefer to maintain
tlie paper's news standard, and we can
not ilo this at tlie price of evening pa
pers, which in tlie nature of the case
have much smaller operating expenses.
The Advertiser already covers the Ala
bama news field better than any other
paper in all tlie land, anil it proposes to
continue in its upward march of excel
lence. Our state news service alone
costs this paper today as much as its
general telegraphic service did some
years ago. We cannot make for the peo
ple of Alabama the enterprising news
paper they want at cut-rate prices, and
vie don’t Intend to attempt it.”
Now, in behalf of an appreciative Ala
bama public, the State Herald regret?
that the Advertiser docs not see its way
clear to reduce its subscription price
from $lrt to $(’>, because blank paper is
quite cheap now; flour, breadstuffs and
meats are pretty low; the Advertiser
pays its mechanics much less than the
State Herald men receive, and besides
this there are numbers of morning
dailies which for months past have
been finding their way into Alabama at
the $G rate, and gradually rooting the
Advertiser out of its natural domain.
There is the Atlanta Constitution, six
papers per week, $(i; Nashville American,
$fi; St. Louts papers anil dozens of others
which might be named that have been
coming to Alabama to till the demand for
a cheaper newspaper—an luiuishuib
more reading matter than the Advertiser,
it was a. consideration of these facts that
caused the State Heraid to reduce Its
price, and not antagonism to our clever
contemporary, the Evening News. The
News has Us field—the State Herald like
wise. The Evening News is furnished at
$5 per annum. The State Herald at $6.
Birmingham is big enough, broad
enough, enterprising enough to send out
a live afternoon and a live morning
newspaper. Alabama shall have an up
to-date morning newspaper, and the
State Herald is furnishing it.
Alabama is ail right. Birmingham is all
right, the Evening News is ail right, and
the State Herald is all right—except that
it cannot please the Montgomery Ad
vertiser, even in its business methods.
EJECTED FBOM HEAVEN.
Just before the Louisiana democratic
convention was held the New Orleans
Slates, knowing that the convention
would be overwhelmingly pro silver,
screamed out as follows:
"Why, then, will the free sllverites
se’k to force their views upon the sound
money democrats? The course of the
latter Is in consonance with the 'rule or
ruin' policy that was llrst enunciated in
hell by satin, when he was yet hot with
rage against the Almighty for hurling
him and his,,rebel followers from tha
golden battlements of Heaven down Into
the fiery pit.”
Now, It happened that the convention,
did not force Its views upon any one, and
so the silver men did not put themselves
in lino with Beelzebub and the army of
devils who were expelled from Heaven.
How they ever got into Heaven is what
puzzles us, but let that pass.
The States kicked before it was spurred.
It appears to be as rabid and as senseless
as the Mobile Register, which is actually
going back upon Mr.Cleveland on the war
question. How can the Register be an
honest democrat and not support the ad
ministration on anything the president
or cabinet may say or do? Of course the
administration is Mr. Cleveland. If the
silver men are to be kicked over the
battlements of Heaven as so many fiends
Incarnate, what is to become of the torles
who oppose war on the Venezuelan ques
tion? That sea of molten lava upon which
the devils float will And many strange
bedfellows.
CANADA
J.ittle Canada is getting her cold back
up. The London Times prints a whole
page of telegraphic dispatches on the
subject of Venezuela. A dispatch from |
Ottawa says:
"One result of the war scare will bo in
the thorough equipment of the Canadian
forces. The country will not be satisfied
till all are armed with the Lee-Metfopd
i-ilies. It is gratifying to note that the
scale seems to have drawn Canada closer
than ever to England. Everywhere the
firm determination is proposed to hold by
the old flag, come what may."
■— - ■■■■■♦ • -——
It ia well to recall the controversy be
tween this government and Franco over
the occupation of Mexico by Maximil
ian’s army, in which the principle in
volved was the same as now, though the
cause of the dispute was different.
France insisted that her course was di
rected by no desire to acquire territory
by conquest, but by a purpose to redress
wrongs. Secderaty Seward insisted on the
enforcement of the Monroe doctrine, and
with the result that France withdrew her
army.
WE ARE COMING,
And Coming on Time—Have the Fiddle
Tuned and Partners on the
Floor.
A member of the State Herald staff is
In receipt of the following invitation
from an old friend and leading news
paper man in the wire-grass regions of
south Alabama, from the county where
big hogs are raised and the people are
prusptfruua, wane gujiucra may numc:
be “worth $1000 apiece," but where many
clays, yea months, may elapse before
“tadpoles will quit turning to frogs:”
“A friend of mine in Montgomery sent
me a gallon of ‘Canadian Club;' a friend
in Apalachicola sent me a barrel of oys
ters; a delinquent subscriber has sent me
this morning thirty pounds of home-made
country-smoked sausage; another delin
quent brought me a 2-year-old gopher, and
1 would he pleased to have you eome and
spend the Christmas with me. If you can
I confidently believe that, with my com
bined stock, we can make a governor and
a United Stales s nator.”
How it touches both our tender heart
and sympathetic palate as we contem
plate the above noted Christmas luxuries.
Just pause for half a moment before
taking your Christmas nog, Tom-and
Jcrry, ginger stew, wine or champagne,
and listen to this wail from one who
knows the true intuition that gave rise
to the above invitation.
Think of the fat, healthy 'possum that
basked last night in the loft, and the
dreaming black “mammy” who will place
him all snugly wrapped in the “yaller”
,1am to be served at noon today; think of
Brer Remus and Brer Rabbit talking
over again the days of long ago. You
can almost see the small boy scamper
ing with hisgun anddog;the squirrel hid
ing in the thickest clusters of the frost
deadened leaves; the turkey gobbling for
his mate, and the crackling bread cry
ing “pig-gee” for a dozen yards away.
And again we can see in our imagination
the old-fashion sausage frying in the
pan, swelling mountain-like in the center
ami rolling at the ends; the “sauce” meat
with the “liver-mash” so blended, flavor
ed and spiced that the appetite will long
for spring and a fishing frolic by the
brook as the only real comparison; and
then the turkey gobbler, fattened for
weeks upon real luxuries, basted from
hoof to bead with cranberries and wal
lowing in bivalves that never grew as
well anywhere as around the southern
cnas.t. And must we stop and say noth
ing of the backbone, spare-ribs, cold hog
jaw, pigs’ feet and brains and eggs?
Must we forget the persimmon beer,
the black walnut and the scaly-bark—the
demijohn laid away since the first trip
•to market? Dear friend, tune lip your
fiddle and have her ready for “Soapsuds
Agin the Fenep,” ‘‘SugJir In the Gourd,”
“Bonaparte’s Retreat,” and “All Hell’s
Broke Boose in Georgia!” We are com
ing! No editor in Alabama, be he demo
crat. republican, populist or what not,
shall enjoy these luxuries of life by him
self as long as free railroad passes can
he obtained. We are coming, and com
ing on time!

Mike Queenan, alias Mike Quinlan, Is
en route to Chicago in the custody of an
officer from the Windy City. Queenan Is
known as the stock yards giant and fig

wigwam recently. Soon afterwards the
Chicago officials, apprised of his where
abouts through the local press reports qf
the contest, wired Chief McDonald to ap
prehend the boxer on the charge of in
timidation in Chicago elections. The
case was given to Officer Bodiker, one of
the shrewdest men on the force, and al
most before Queenan W’as aware of what
had happened he found himself behind
the city bolts, while the wires talked
back and forth between Chicago and
Birmingham. Queenan refused to return
without requisition papers, but the nec

day morning in Montgomery and the
burly pugilist taken back.
Some time ago Warden Donovan took
occasion to extend an act of kindness td
a prisoner. It was cake on the waters,
for yesterday a bearer left a basket for
Warden Donovan. When he opened it
he found a handsome cake and note from
his former prisoner. The prisoner was a
baker and he exerted himself to show
his appreciation. Warden Donovan took
the cake home, where it made quite an
addition to his table fare.

A FUTILE EFFORT
To Choke to Death a Home Institution Being
Made—It Will Not Succeed.
The Southeastern Tariff association
lias caused the association companies to
leave the Birmingham Underwriters’
agency because it represents the South
ern Mutual Fire Insurance company of
Alabama. The Southern Mutual does
business only in Alabama and proposes
to return the profits to the policy holders,
and for this reason the tariff association
is taking steps to choke it to death. The
Birmingham Underwriters' agency is
prepared to take care of every policy
now in the companies leaving its agency
by placing them in other good companies
that do not belong to the association.
We trust that not a single one of our
patrons will desert us in this effort to
crush us. If other agencies should so
licit the business in the companies which
have left us, we will doubly appreciate
it should you elect to tell them that it is
your decision to let us continue to take
care of your business. It is not to be be
lieved that the people of Birmingham
and Alabama will allow the Tariff asso
ciation to make them a party to choke
to death an honest effort to build up a
home institution. The association has
precipitated this matter and made it
necessary for the people of Birmingham
and Alabama to decide whether they will
uphold the Tariff association in its arbi
trary methods by means of which It at
tempts to destroy home institutions.
