FORBES, ANNISTON, ALA. STREETS LIGHTED OF DIRT. AND FULL What May be Seen in thej City of Pekin, Where the Emperor Lives and Rales His People. Pekln must be sees to be understwa Not even in the East can there else where be otind strauge a combin ation of squalor find splendor. A person may live for years in one of China's well-kept foreign settlements and con tinue to wonder why railroads are not built, why this, (that and tha other is not done.

But when at last Pekln is visited all becomes comprehensible. For if the capital of the empire is utterly neglected, if things which the Bin-pjror and his closest advisers can see for themselves are allowed to go to rack and ruin before their eyes, why should any thing be done to open up and improve the rest of the country? In giving tine traveller the "far away," huving-oome-to-the-aiiuVof-the earth" sensation, Pekin is a success. When one reaches the wall the feeling begins, and it grows stronger after the gate Is entered. Except in being ttWiSllt fact, most globe-trotters" take a good look at it, -and spare themselves a fa' tiffuei'tug tfhree days' Journey. The city wall's sixteen gates, surmounted by brick towers, built with rows of portholes, are all locked and barred soon after dark.

Riding over the open country is one of the chief diversions In foreign residents' monoton(os and if a pony goes lame, or the time has been miscalculated, and the gate reached a few moments late, there is nothing for it but resignation. Bribes, threats, promises are of no avail, and the night must be passed in a dirty iun outside the wall. Pekin, barring its filth and smells, differs much from other Chinese cities. While the streets of the great southern towns often do not measure more than eight or ten feet across, those of Pekin are very wide. All are unpaved, and most of them almost impassable to foot passengers.

Even on pony-back one runs a real danger of being- submerged in a mudhole. People who cannot ride use mule litters, sedan chairs, or two- wneeiea, sprmgiess femn carts," which unless well furnished with give their occupants famous shakings. And these Impassable thoroughfares are lined by fine shops, the entire facades of many being elaborately carved and entirely overlaid with gold leaf. In spite of mud holes, heaps of garbage, and other things too noisome to describe, Pekln's streets, with their golden shops and plsturesque sign boards.their overflowing life auu gayeiy are fascinating. Their great width- is often -practically contracted to narrowness by tents, booth, movable restaurants, annihilatory barbers' shops, etc.

The sides are crowded with buyers, sellers, Jugglers, fortune tellers; doctors and musicians. Through the centre pass long strings of camels laden with brick tea for Russia or coals from Tartary, Manchu men and women on horsebaok, and Innumerable processions mandarins' chairs, preceded by twenty or thir ty retainers witn umbrellas, flags, ban-J influence witlj. the members on both ners, brides esobrted to their fu- I slaes as Colonel Culberson and his ap-ture homes by troops of friends, small proval of a currency plan will carry boys who explode firecrackers, and men great weight not only in the House Who carrv scarlet hnvea i-nntninlni, Wo I i a lng Its Commerce and Manufactures. The pamphlet contains sixteen photo-engraved views, of points of Interest about Columbus, WHT THERE WAS A DEFICIT, The people are t-red of hearing ihe either very ignorant or very untruhfu, demagogues, asserting that the deflolts In the State Treasury were caused ty extravagance or bad management. The reduction in the tax rate was made before there was any division among the white people, over alliance meas ures or men.

The men who went off after Kolb, as well as those who op posed htm, alike voted for that meas ure. The tax rate was reduced from five to four mills, the reduced rate tak ing effect for the first time in Gov. Jones's first administration. Not only was one-fifth of the revenue taken from the treasury, but one hundred thousand doiKars a year was added to the school fund. Every man of common prudence knew this state of things would pro duce deficits unless there should be startling and continued increase of values.

Values not only did not in crease, but they decreased. For shame on the men who, knowing these things, pretend that the Democratic party has mismanaged the finances of the State, In its anxiety to reduce taxes. It took unwarranted risks that Is all. It djd not exact enough for the support of the government under the four m'K rate. That was aill that any one can blame it for.

Finding its mistake, the party rectified its error by increasing the tax. VERY FIXI.Y ANSWERED. Mr. Dean has had h's Inquiry an swered by the Joint committee of the two houses. He knows now, if he did not before, that Gov.

Oates's Inaugur ation expenses were paid out of the contingent fund, Just as has been done many times before. "He knows now, If not before, that this has been a time-honored custom in Alabama. He also knows that in the cases of Gov ernors Patton, Shorter and Watts, spe cial bills were passed for similar pur- Doses. He knows now, if not before, that the custom in Alabama has been to inaugurate the Governor for his first term from the portico of the Cap itol and to send committees to take part with other organizations In the procession which escorts the Governor on such occasions, while for a second term there is no procession, and the Inauguration takes place in the Hall of the House. If he had been familiar with these things, he would have known that his statement that Gov.

Jones was inaugurated in 1S92 without any cost, was entirely irrelevant to the Question at issue; for that was Gov. Jones's second term, ana he was In augurated in the Hall of the House. and there was no procession and no expense of a committee representing the two houses. The mhrie th'nir was a small busi ness. The people of Alabama honor the office of Governor, for it represent their diemitv and power, and the Leg islature reflecting the wishes of the people, regardless ot party divisions, has for half a century or more sent committees to represent it in the cere monies in honor of the inauguration of a Governor on his first incoming Into office.

No citizen who cares for Alabama, would like to see committees of the Legislature trudging along on foot in an inaugural processionatnrougn the streets of Montgomery, and if they should do so, the spectacle would dis gust everybody who had any regard for the fitness of things or the slgn.flcance of the occasion. would be equally as mean and little for a great State to reauire its legislators to discharge the duty of representing It In inaugurau ceremonies, and then make them pay the expense for doing so. The dema gogy which pretends that members oueht to pay the expense of carriages for themselves and Invited guests, will not find favoxanywhere. Men may affect contempt for forms and cere monies as much as they please, but the fact remains that the people de sire their chief magistrate inducted into office In a manner befitting Its exalted duties. No one would like to see the Governor take the oath of nffir-A in his shirt sleeves, or in the office of a Justice of the peace, or to see the transier oi me omce wnu other ceremony than usual when a constable turns over his office and pa- ners to his successor.

The inquiry proved quite a boomerang. The Popu-Htes are entitled to all the capital they can make out of it PROTECTING THE STATE'S CREDIT Alabama's Legislature, in promptly raising the rate of taxation has done not only the State Government, but all the clt'zens of the State a- great good. Those who deal in money would have very little confidence in the abil ity of people to rnet obligations their State should fall behind. A reckless disregard of obligation works in- iurv to ail interests. The wild and vicious talk of the Governor of Kansas and some of the revolutionary actions of the Legislature of the State caused many millions of dollars 'to be withdrawn and at a time, too, when those who owed the money were illy able to meet the claims.

There was a disposition to sever business relations with a State whose executive and Leg islature seemed to favor repudiation in effect, if not in fact Such a brand can never be applied to Alabama. In the dreary four yearT struggle from 1S61 to 1S65 the interest debt of the State was provided for. It gave the State high standing and for a long while the lamented Gov. Patton- was abCe by his Individual pledge to tde over many rough places. A State with a bad financial record would not have been able to receive such considera tion for Its Governor, no matter how able and prudent he might be.

The terribCe debt piled up by the carpet-teg and reconstruc tion regime was disposed of in a manner highly creditable to the State. Her credit has stood so high that most of her obligations fcave been bonded at a low rate of Interest The mistake was made, however a few years ago of re-1 ducing the tax rate-too rapldCy. It is always popular to vote for reduction. of taxes, and the situation seemed to a majority of the Legislature to warrant At the risk of popularity. The Advertiser warned against and time has proven its wisdom.

Gov. Jones early saw the inevitable result and manfully went to 'work to make such a change as would rectify the damage don. The Legislature at his ureenl He re's fine subject eveythine plomats and their families migrate to a picturesque of temples some forty 'miles or so distant from the city. where they live in rather oicnio fashion. The priests, who often continue to occu- (py and do "Joss pidgin" in reserved parts of these edifices, are very glad xo get itne foreign gold, but complain that their domain is ipermeated by a most disagreeable odor, a plaint wnlcft to anyone acquainted le bouquet de la Chine seems ridiculous enough.

The climate of Pekin is one of ex tremes. The winters are bitterly cold, While the summers, although not as long, are far hotter tihan those of Hong Koiur. which lies within the troDlcs. The atmosphere Is so luminous and clear that every object stands out gainst it with a singular distinctness. The city glows with color, and there is eo much that is (beautiful to be seen that one almost forgets the horrors.

But they are there, and It Is the sincere hope of the writer that the little Japs may ere long marcn to the capital aua teach the Government a usetut lesson of which it stands greatly in need. Wi and rumors of wars do not d9 crease the sales of Dr. Price's Baking Powder. They show a constant growtn in every clime. WASHINGTON NOTES.

The General Assembly, after a session of twenty-seven days, took a recess last night for the Christmas holidays and will reassemble on the 22nd day of January. The Advertiser takes occasion to commend the work of the Assembly, the personnel and ability of which Is far above the average of such bodies. In all that has been done the best interests and welfare of the State and he people hat, In every instance, been first consulted, and while there may have been differences as to details, the Democrats1 in borh branches were united upon the main and Important questions that came before them and their act'on was perfects harmonious and satisfactory. We extend to each member separately best wishes for a-merry Christmas and happy New Tear and a safe return to their duties. THE COLORED MEH'S PETITION, The petition of a number of representative colored men to Col.

Oates Is published in another column. We are persuaded that these men are governed by a desire. to keep up good feeling between the races, and while they may make some requests whicn are not properly grantable, the whole tone and temper of what they havs to say is commendable. They express a desire to promote a better feeing and hope to accomplish that purpose by certain recommendations. They are anxious for a law In prevention of lynching.

Gov. Jones exerted all the powers confided in him to prevent this crime and Gov. Oates mives positive evidence that his mlnf tuns in the same channel on that subject The laws are ample to prevent mob law, but unfortunateCy there is occasionally a giving way of the peo- pie and actions follow which make the particljrants criminate themselves and bring shame and disgrace to the State. If the officers will only exercise their constitutional and statutory powers they can prevent such scenes as have too often brought the Jaw and its offl- als Into contempt, Lynching Is a crime which Is sure to bring other evils In its trait), and all good citizens should Oppose it The colored men of prominence can do much to stay it by showing to their people the probable result to follow from certain offenses, Gov. Oates has aiso announced that he equal but separate accommodations on railroads for equal fare.

Th's of course can and should be furnished separately and the colored people should raise no objection to such a plan. There are many good reasons Why an assistant chaplain, who Is a colored man, should be appointed for he penitentiary. Moet of the convicts are colored, and one of their own race nlght often be able to do things which Will result in good, whHe as white chap, lain would, have no influence. A house of correction for small offenders Is one of the crying needs of the State, and ought to be provided: at the earliest possible moment. The Question of Jurors should be left with the officers of the law, who are best informed as to the situation and surroundings In their counties.

But. while Lll 9 ID LI UC, II lt IIUL alKC.Jf lllfll IIIC New Englanders will ever give Dr Long the credit which is due him for his great discovery. The Northern people take better care of their history than we do, and our carelessness In this respect has caused many Southerners to lose the honors which should have been theirs for their discoveries, inventions and notable deeds.

The first steamboat was made Georgia and tested on the Savannah River, but Fulton gets all the credit. A Georgian first suggested the telegraph, but Morse's name will be associated with It forever. A Virginian was really the father of the Atlantic cable, but the majority of people believe that Feld planned It and gave it to the world. Here in the South men make history but very few write In the North, on the other hand, painstaking efforts are made to preserve 'local renerds, traditions and biography. Nearly every town and county has Its history in print.
