Denson is considered the ablest and most severe debater in Alabama. Cax’? MAKE THEIR BOND. ‘The recent state election has developed many curious circumstances. One of these strange results is the election to office in many counties controlled by the Kolb-alliance element of men who have so Mttle means and infinence that they are actually unable to give the required bond in order to qualify. This bas not oc- curred in one county, but in nearly a dozen. In several counties, notably Blount, Choctaw and Clay, more than one of the new county officers have failed to make the necessary bond within the time required by law, and the county commissioners have of necessity been forced to declare the offices vacant and fill them by the appointment of men who can give bond. Nearly a dozen Kolbite county treasurers have d | failed to make the required bond. In Clay county only two of the entire ticket, all Kolb men, were able to make bond that re- ceived the approval o the probate judge. Much bitter feeling resulted. Yesterday a crowd of armed Kolb men rode into the town of Ashland, the county seat, and Proceeding to Probate Judge Evans’ office informed him that proposed to #ee that he did the right thing about the preferred bondsor they were to know the resson why. Much ugly and threatening lan was used. Judge Bvans in reply threw open his coat and sald: “You see I'am not armed, but I am probate judge of this county and as tong as I ‘am in office I will execute the laws regardiess of threats or intimidation."” The mob, secing that Judge Evans was not to be bluffed, went away soon after. Evans is a democrat, while the new officers are all Kolb men. What the mob will door what they have perhaps done since yesterday is not known, as Ashland, the scene of the disturbance, is re- mote from both railroad and telegrap! munication.

The wisest prog- nosticators confess that they aro absolutely at sea as tothe probable result this fall, while many others do not hesitate to declare that all hopes of democratic success as to the presi- dential ticket are gone. It is the one verdict of all who have visited the rural districts that if some means is not devised by which the Virginia farmer can be aroused from his lethargy the state will un- doubtedly go for Harrison, and in some of the districta there is a good chance of electing third party Congressmen since the nominecs are receiving the support of the republicans as ‘ell at tho voters of third porty fa ‘The lines have been clearly drawn in this, the third district, since the nomination of W.

To thove familiar with Arlington and its sur- roundings the contrast is painful. Instead of the noble forest under whose boughs are scat- tered headstones and monuments in bonor of beloved dead of all ranks, but equally honored, You find. here a hillock with an occasional tree. ns yer you reach Riverside through ill- kept streets, over whose sidewalks the recent ins have left coatings of soil. Instead of the well-kept grounds, the per- fume of flowers and the glimpse of’ blue uni- | forms, you find a trampled common, guiltless of care or ftoral decorations, guarded by men uniformed in gray and wearing the badge, not of the nation, but of asingle city of a single state. Instead of the quiet, orderly which lendan att of solemnity to. the sacred ground where thousands of dead heroes You find the bustle and confusion incident toa Picnic ground, you hear the clank of glasses at eating aud drinking establishments hard by, the scream and rumble of railroad trains which pase Just below and find the banks of the river & few hundred feet away lined with amateur | this fishermen and hesprinkled with barges loaded with refuse from the great city. Instead of the noble monuments to honored | dead you find merely @ little brick vault to which the remains have been cousigned, and near bya hole in the ground with score of blocks of granite laid in posi only evidence of good faith upon the part of those who promised a magnificent resting place for the nation's greatest general and President. And all this more than seven years after these promises had been made and the location deter- mined upon because of those promises. Perhaps another seven years will make good the long delayed surroundings which were promised seven year ago. I asked the gras-| coated guardian who ambled back and forth on | knoll a hundred feet away from the door of | the tomb what was being done in the way of putting things in order? ‘They are at work very day now,” he an- swered. “They are laying stones over there, you see There were some evidences of work being actually in progress; mortar beds, discarded frame work = heavy granite blocks and the | paraphernalia of a stone yard scattered promis- cuously about a few feet distant from the tomb were evidences of some recent activity “This tomb,” explained he, in gray, “is tem- porary, of course, Over there where you see those stones is to be the tomb and monument. When they get it done the remains will be re- moved there.’ ‘When will it be finished? “In about two yéhrs, I believe they say,” he added with charming discreetness as toaccuracy and detail. *And is work going on upon it now?” “Oh, yes; they are bere every day now.” “I beliove #0; at least they say there is $500.- 000 promised or raised.” Probably the next generation may find the tomb of Gen. Grant one worthy of the man and the city which essayed to provide it. Certainly the seven years which have since the | promises were made have made little showing in | that direction. A mere hole in the ground with | adozen or twenty granite blocks laid about the edge of itand.a few more scattered about wait- ing for the hands of the workmen is all thut there is visible in the way of fulfilling these promises. ‘The bottom and sides of the excava- tion are coated with concrete and cement, a row of drain tiles stretch from thecenter toward the river and the first tier of granite blocks to yppear above the earth have been put in posi tion on about one-half of the lines which out- line the excavation, From this one can get no definite idea what is to follow, or what the tomb and monument will be like. eobctaaton ce AMERICAN BAR ASSOCIATION.

John Randolph Tucker of Virginia on Thure- day delivered the annual address, on the sub- ject of the institutions of English and American freedom and constitutional law. The paper was # profoundly interesting one and the speaker's propositions adverse to paternal government, to encroachment of tes’ rights, enlargement of the scope of the “general defense and wel- fare” clanse of the constitution were f and well put, though some of his conclusions might be questioned. ‘The evening session was given to the presen- tation of a carefally considered report on the questions of international law growing out of Italian’complications and the New Orleans riote. ‘The questionas propounded was ‘whether: legislation by Congress is desirable and mod ticable to gi | River Queen, Geld, Arn surroundings | he sleep | of the trie tion in times of probable that the chairmen will be a | or may be a major general before the ensamp- over.
