DEATH ON CHOLERA GERMS.

Tobacco Soon Destroys the Bacili OF the
Deadly Oriental Plague.
Some interesting investigations
have been made on the vitality of
cholera organisms on tobacco by
Wernicke, says Nature. Small pieces
OF linen soaked In cholera broth cul-
lures we're rolled up In various kinds
Of tobacco, and the latter were made
into cigars At the end OF twenty
four hours only few bacilli were
found on the linen, and none on the
leaf On sterile and dry tobacco
leaves, the bacilli disappeared in one
half to three hours after incubation.
On moist, unsterilized leaves they
disappeared in from one to three
days, but on moist and sterile leaves
in from two to four days. When
introduced into per cent. tobacco
infusion (ten grams Of leaves TO 200
grams OF water), however, they re-
tanned their vitality up to thirty
three DAYS, but In a more concen-
trated infusion lone gram Of leaves
to two grams or water) they sue
cumbed In twenty four hours. When

were destroyed, in broth cultures, as
well as In sterilized and unsterllizel ]
saliva, In Ave minutes. Another au-
thority describes a series OF expert.
ments In which he prepared broth
cultures Of different pathoRenic mi
crobes, and conducted through them
the smoke from various kinds Of to-
bacco. Out Of thirty.tbree separate
Investigations, in only three were
the cholera organisms alive after
thirty minutes exposure to tobacco
fumes. But in actual experience the
apparent antiseptic properties Of to-
bacco have not frequently been met
with; thus, during the influenza epi-
demic in 1889, Nisalli mentions the
remarkable immunity from this dis.
case which characterized the opera
| tiyes in tobacco manufactures; that
In Genoa, for example, out of l,20C
work people thus engaged, not one
was attacked; while in Rome the
number was so insignificant that the
works were never stopped, and ne
precautions were considered necessary.

railroad systems was toward alb
sOrbing the small ones; but since
the beginning of the era of receiv:
erships many of the large systems
have been dismembered so that
there are actually many more sep
arate railroad corporations than
there were a year ago, though there
has been no increase i'm railroad

POLITICAL. NOTICE.

All Peoples party voters in Grant
parish are requested and warned
to enroll their name with the clubs
located near their regular voting
precinct. Heaeafter, all nOmina,
tiOnS will be submitted to Il vote OF
avOwed Peoples partyites. The
name of the voter must appear up
on the club roll before he will be
entitled to vote. NofeeS are charg-
ed in these clubs, and only one OBJ
legation required, to-wit: That the
voter will support the principles
and platform aud nominees of the
Peoples party.
There are many reasons which
make this obligation imperative
and necessary. 1t organizes the
people, forces its voters to a public
declaration of their politics, and
the party nominees will be the di-
rect choice of true Peoples party
ties, and none other. '.Organize
all along the line" ought to be our
motto. y Peoples party club is
being organized at every voting
precinct in Grant parish, and the
Chairman of those clubs form the
campaign committee of the parish.
This places the campaign commit
tee in direct communication with
the people, and gives the party a
good representation at each voting
precinct on election day. These
clubs are required to meet once
per month to receive instructions
and Peoples party news. Before
the election takes place the entire
vote of the party can be estimated
with safety through these clubs.
1t arOuses the people and forces
them to become interested, as a
discussion of the present grievan-
ces and wrongs. brings them face
to face with the political situation,
and faithfully represents to them
what their future must inevitably
be.

Oates is not entitled to the vote
of all registered in those counties
but KOlb don't need them for III
the counties where fair count
was made his majority is so great
that he can give Oates every vote
registered in the black belt.
Under the circumst stances it is
not surprising that the spirit OF
independence prompts the liberty
loving people of Alabama to &-
mand justice, and if the uSurpers
who have attempted to defeat the
will of the people by these frauds
persist in the matter it is the right
yes, it is the duty, of every true
American to denounce the outrage
by the force of arms. The spirit
that actuated the founders of our
government i'll throwing off the
yoke of British tyranny would at
this time prompt the most active
measures and means. This may
be termed revolutionary but the
man who terms as revolutionary
any means employed to vindicate
the expressed will of the majority
at the ballot box is not a friend of
popular government. The ballot
box is our highest legal authority.
The respect for it must be main-
tained or all idea of free govern
ment must perish.
The Express would say. If any
man attempts bOllOt box fraud,
shoot him on the spOt.-Chicago

The Alabama situation.

There is no doubt an alarming
state of affairs in Alabama and t.
say that ::the condition is critical
would be expressing the case very
mildly fn
The people are excited and it is
not surprising that such is the
case. i
The evidence of fraud in the
election of the 9th inst. is conclu
sive.
1t is not matter of conjecture
nor supposition, 1T is a positively
established fact. i
This being the case the only sur
prise is that the excitement is nc
greater.
The registration law has given
the friends of honesty and "a fail
count some advantages, for in the
past there was not the same Op-
portunity for easily making mani
fest the operations in what is
known as the black belt. a
There has been and are yet,
enough whites to manipulate the
returns and send up any required
number of votes to ensure the cleo
tiOns of the machine ticket, but
under the new law the negroes,
rather than be counted contrary to
the way they vote refused to regis
ter at all, hence the majority re-
turned for Oates being much great
er than the entire registration, the
evidence of fraud is conclusive.
Prior to the registration law it
was more difficult to furnish de-
tailed proof of the frauds but now
to establish the fact beyond dispute
it is only necessary to prove that
the vote as returned for Oates is
greater than the total registration,
which is known to be the case
throughout the black district.
When the vote for Oates is reduc-
ed to the actual registration and
without giving Kolb a vote, in
those counties where the frauds are
apparent it gives Kolb "a majority
in the state.

Capt. Marsden on She Price

BEDFORD, La, August al note that
your paper of late has had much to say
about cheap cotton, and how cheap it
has been raised, etc, and in your issue

nal the same idea. You are mistaken.
There never was pound Of cheap raised
cotton. 1t takes more labor to raise a
pound of cotton than 10 cents worth of
almost anything else in the world; and
the man who sells cotton for less than
10 cents per pound works for less than
so cents per day. - settd ei fft

Railroads i'm the u. =.
Valuable Statistics i'm Regard
to Mileage, Traffic ana In
dcbfedmeSS.

The New York Sun says there
are more miles of railroad track
in the United States than in all
the other countries of the world
combined. These are the figures :
United States, 172,OOO miles !;
Europe, Asia, Africa, South, Cen
tral, and British America, and Aus
tralia, 167 900 miles. "..
The number of locomotive en-
gines in use on American railroads
is $4,000. The number of passen
ger cars is $4,000. The number of
mail and baggage cars is 5000 and
the number of freight and coal
cars is 100000.
AS respects mileage the Atchi-
son, Topeka and Santa Fe stands
at the head with 1925 miles opera
ted next comes the Southern Pa
cific with $780,. then st. Paul
with 6,0S3. Louisville and Nash
vile 400, then Northern Pacific
400. Chicago and Northwest
1900, Rock Island $500, Illinois
Central $500, Pennsylvania $500,
New York Central 2,10O. and Bal
timOre and Ohio, Wabash, and
Erie with 1,009 each.
AS respects the volume of gross
receipts the Pennsylvania stands
at the head with s13O,OOO, 900, the
Southern Pacific second with $780,
600, 900, and then the New York
Central with s45,OOO,OOO, Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western with
$50, 100000, Atchison, Topeka and
Santa Fe with s35,OOO,OOO, and st.
Paul, Northern Pacific. Baltimore
and Ohio, Chicago and Northwest,
and Erie with $4,000, 900 to $780,.
100000 each.
The railroads of the country car
~ in a year 600, 900, 900 passengers
and transport 800, 100000 tons of
freight. The disparity between the
two branches of transportation is
much greater here than it is in Eu-
rope, for the foreign railroads carry
twice as many passengers as do
the railroads of the United States,
whereas the earnings from freight
or "goods" trains, as they are call
ed abroad, just above balance. In
this country the earnings from
freight business are about three
times greater than for passenger
business. II
The gross Indebtedness, stock
and bonds, of the railroads of the
United States is in excess of S10,-
000, 1000, 900. and is increasing at a
more rapid ratio than the milage of
the respective roads. The Atchi-

1. We demand q national cur

sued by the general government
only, a full legal tender for all debt
public and private, and that with
out the use of banking corpora
tions; just, equitable and efficient
means of distribution, direct to the
people, at tax not exceeding 2 per
cent, be provided, as set forth in

ers' Alliance, or some better system
also by payments in discharge of
its obligations for public improve
ments. p 8gl
a. We demand free and unlimit-
ed coinage of silver and gold at the
present legal ratio of 16 to 1.
b. We demand that the amount
of circulating medium be speedily
increased to not less than $50 per
capita.
C. We demand a graduated in
come fax.
d. We believe that the money
of the country sbould be kept as
much as possible in the hands of
the people, and hence we demand
that all State and national revenue
shall be limited to the necessary
expenses of the government, eco
nOmically and honestly administer
ed. .o i'.- ''4sii'.4 pnf
g. We demand that postal saw
ings banks be established by the
government for the safe deposit OF
the earnings of the people and to
facilitate exchange.
2. Transportation being means
of exchange and public necessity,
the government should own and
operate the railroads In the inter
est of the people. taF
a. The telegraph and telephone,
like the post Office system, beng a
necessity for the transportation of
news, should be owned and opera
ted by the government IN the in
terest of the people. w '1-hs
3. The land, including all the
national resources of wealth, is the
heritage Of all the people, and
should not be monopoliyed for spec.
ulatiye purposes, and alien owner
ship of land should be prohibited.
All land now held by railroads and
other corporations in excess Of
their actual needs, and all lands
now owned by aliens. should be re-
claimed by the government and
held for actual settlers only.

Gov. Waite Under Arrest.

Gov. Waite, of ColoIada, is un-
der arrest, charged with opening a
letter addressed to Mrs. Likens,
formerly matron at public head
quarters.
The governor denied that he had
done so, and when it was suggested
that his bond be fixed at S5,OO0..
replied: .t -t..
81 am governor of this State and
these proceedings are held to in.
terfere with Inc in the administra-
ton of my office. l will not give
bail. You may send me to Jail, but
l will not give bail"
Commissioner Ainsdale then fix
ed this bond at 500 and released
him Oh his own recognizance.J
The Progress believes Gov.
Waite's version of the story. Ever
since he had the courage to de-
nOunce Cleveland's shameful VIOLA
ton Of the silver plank of the
Chicago platform, the sycophantic
henchman of the President have
been trying to ruin him. We be-
lieve these proceedings of charge
and arrest are but part of a das-
tardly, hellish scheme to ruin Gov.
Waite The fact that United
States Commissioner Hinsdale re-.
leased him on his own recognizance
teaches us that he thoughtit plot
too contemplate for place in the
annals of American criminal pro-
cedure.
Such despicable acts do not des-
troy POpulism, or induce Others
who have gone from the old party
to the Peoples party, to return to
the fold.-Progress.

The Herald an6 News is inclined to
think that one Of the theories advanced
by Capt. John F. Banks in his refec-
tions is correct. The only adhesive or
cohesive power of the Reform move
ment is Tillman himself. 1t is strange
but true that one man should have
such hold upon the white men Of an
entire State like South Carolina. When
he is removed as a factor the ''move-
ment' will 60 to pieces. Men voted
for candidates to the Legislature on no
other ground, in plany csses than that
the candidate was pledged to vote for
Tillnan for United States Senator.
Fitness and competency counted for
nothing when placed against this one

about ticket being put out in opposi-

mated at the September Convention. It
talks about independents" and "bol-

the Conservatives come in and help to

would say to the esteemed Register to

at Ia Invoke the Mercy of Heaven

Mr.. Editor, In view of recent appall-
ing catastrophes in various parts of
our common country and the present
frightful continuation of the same, as
the destructive floods in the valley of
the Leona river, caused by the bursting
forth of the fountains of the great deep,
and the forest fires of the Northwest,
in which calamities millions of dollars
worth Of property and hundreds of
lives were destroyed; and by the further
facts that our crops are threatened by
all invasion of the boil and army
worms, and society by the disintegrat-
ing elements Of politics, it becomes US
as people to humble ourselves under
the mighty hand of Jehovah and place
ourselves ia an attitude by which we
may seek deliverance from tie con-
ditions which imperil our common
country. We have no time to lose.
The present moment is the one bearing
the golden opportunity for success.
