Kuoxville's new steam fire engine,
q" Alex. AllisOn," was submitted to
final test yesterday evening st the
Prince street public cisterD, near the
postgfIice, in accordance with the no.
tice Of Chief COffman, and she fully
sustained, yea. even surpassed herself,
IL possible. She was tested in various
shapes, throwing from one to four
streams, and she certainly did
her work admirably. To test
her capacity for elevating a
stream of water, the hC Sc was run into
the Second Presbyterian church yard
and with the engine working full
force. water was thrown some distance
over the spire OF that church, which
is fome.hing near 100 feet high. The
trial was witnessed by large crowds OF
our citizens, who were very much
Gratffied with the results and it was
the universal verdict that she is the
best little piece of machinery ever
seen in these parts.

FEVER STATISTICS OF 1853.

Believing that we have given the best tables
that have been so far published, both for their
accuracy and for the manner in which they
have been presented to our readers, we add
below condensed tables Of the fatal fever
cases Of 1853 by the week and by the month,
from two in June to the end.
BY criticism OF the monthly table it will
appear that June and July combined gave
only 1874 cases and November gave 224 cases
a total Of $685. This leaves the three months
of August, September and October, the fever
months as in 1867, to sustain the considerable
fatality Of 44s1, which with 35S cases Of June,
July and November, make up the total death
list Of 1889. The curious In such matters
can easily compute from the weekly table an
accurate review of the rise, progress and de-
cline of fever in that year, SO little spoken of
or noticed, and yet giving q greater number
of fatal cases than any year since 1853, behind
which it fell short 1918 cases:

At this time when the whole country Is
actively displaying Its benevolence every city,
town, village and hamlet doing something to-
wards the relief of the stricken cities of the
South, the DEMOCRAT does not care to single
out any place for special mention. But the
munificent charity Of the city of New York
has been 50 well illustrated at the present
time that it cannot be passed over in silence.
Always ready with the helping hand in times
of distress and need, the metropolis has
shown liberality towards the fever sufferers
that casts shadow upon even Its former splen-
did deeds of charity. The dispatches inform us
that the grand total of $125,00o has already
been subscribed and that the relief commit
tees are still collecting funds.

The Chicago Tribune Is evidently not as
sanguine with regard to the next House Of
Representatives as most Republican papers
pretend to be. It seems rather doubtful OF
Republican majority. "With such scattered
help" it says, cas- the Republicans may get
in the South, and recapturing seats stolen In
the last Congress which belong to them, there
LIS good reason to hope that, with hard, earn
est work, they may have u majority In the
Forty-sixth Congress to offset against the
certain Democratic majority In the Senate
IT the Republicans base their hopes OF con-
trolling the next House upon scattered
help from this section, thay may well look
over the field with q feeling akin to despair
Better depend upon "hard, earnest work"
There are no returning boards this year.

The almost total abolition of what Is known

The almost total abolition of what Is known
as the Free Zone, by President Diaz, Of
Mexico, will do much to prevent border out
RACES. The Free Zone was established by the
Mexican government in 1858, and Is strip Of
territory bordering the Rio Grande, within
which oil goods passing from Mexico into the
United States, and from the United States
into Mexico were allowed to pass duty free.
Smuggling has been greatly encouraged
thereby, and the contrabandists have fire.
uuently varied their trade by resorting to
robbery and murder. Manifold were the ad-
vantages it offered to border ruf1ians, and it
is not surprising that Its abolition should ex-
cite indignation and protest on the part of
those who have so long protited by it. 1t Is
to be deplored that this Free Zone has not
been entirely destroyed. The order of the
Mexican President excerpts Matamoros and
Laredo from It's provisions and restricts COM
mercal intercourse to those two cities. The
''zone' has always been opposed by the
United States and the recent action of the
Mexican authorities is regarded as con-
cession to this government.
