A Pleasant Trip That Cannot Be Excelled.

A EIeasAnt IT'D I0at cannot Be EXc6lIed. It Is usually the case when traveller starts on journey, and especially for any distance, it is desirable to have the fewest changes, all the comforts of home life, and to be able to make the trip at as little expense as possible.
 In visiting Philadelphia, New York, Boston or any other important eastern cities it is believed that these comforts and pleasures can only be found by using the Plant system, via Montgomery and Thomasville to Savannah, thence by the superb steamers of the Ocean Steamship company to any of the cities above named.
 The Plant system runs fast double daily passenger trains from Montgomery to Savannah, carrying Pullman sleepers, free reclining chair cars and ffrst-class day coaches.
 Either one way or round trip excur- sion rates as shown in tariff sheets from any of the leading cities of Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi and Louisiana to any of the eastern cities will apply over the Plant system, through Savannah, and one great advantage the traveller has by using the route via Savannah is that all first-class rates include meals and state room while on the steamer, thus avoiding the extra expense of sleeping car fare, which would have to be paid in addition to the ticket rate if other routes were selected.
 The savannah line IS Tree rom heat and dust and in selecting your summer trip it is we'll to keep these facts in mind, and if any further information is de- sired communicate. with Plant system officials, and tell them what you want to know.

The Morning Bird.

A bird sat in the maple tree. And this was the song he sung to me: . "Oh, little boy, awake, arisel Tho sun is high in the morning skies; The brook s aplay in the pasture lot
 And wonderoth that the little boy It loveth dearly cometh not
 To share its turbulence and joy; The grass hath kisses cool and sweet For truant little brown bare feet, So come, 0 child, awake, arisel The sun is high in the morning skies" So from the wonder maple tree The bird kept singing unto me, But that was very long ago. did not think, l did not know, Else would not have longer slept
 And dreamt the precious hours away; Else would from my bed have leapt
 To greet another happy day day untouched of care and ruth, With sweet companionship of youth The dear old friends which you and Knew in the happy years gone by. Still in the maple can be heard The music of the morning bird, And still the song is of the day That runncth OCT with childish play, Still of each pleasant old time place
 And of the old time friends I knew The pool where hid the furtive dace,
 The lot the brook went scampering
 through,
 The mill, the lane, the Bellfiower tree That used to love to shelter mo, And all those others know then, But which cannot know again. Alas, from wonder maple tree The morning bird sings not to me, Else would his ghostly voice prolong An evening, not a morning song, And he would tel of each dear spot
 l knew so well and cherished then, As all forgetting, not forgot,
 By him who would be young again. o child, the voice from yonder tree Calleth to you and not to me. So wako and know those friendships all would to God could recall.

experience at Lazarus Hospital, in Ber-
lin, proves its virtue to be all that is
claimed for it. In that institution the re-
ports show that seventy-two cases of
true diphtheria were treated with the
serum within two days, and that there
were but two deaths out of the whole
number. DR.. RouX of Paris, admitted to
be high authority, reports that he has
reduced fatality so per cent. in his prac-
tlce in that oity. AT Frankfort and Trieste
where diphtheria has been epidemic very
frequently, and last year more SO than in
many years, the physicians are unani-
nous in their testimony that the disease
was stamped out by the use Of the serum.
In Paris, diphtheria deaths in October,
1890, were 125. and in 1892, l34, but in 1894
the deaths declined to %, and, as the doc
tors say, because of the use of the serum.
But they do not tell us whether the dis
ease appeared in October, 1894 with the
same virulence, and was as prevalent as
IN the same month in the other years.
We must conclude that not enough is yet
known about the new remedy, and cer-
tainly not enough regarding the after con-
dition of those who use it to justify posi-
tive judgment as to its worth

OWNED BY THE PEOPLE.

The Los Angeles Express is clear off
when it says the people of San francisco
can do as they please with their water
front, and if they want to present it to
any men or set of men, and make mis-
take, they will be the principal sufferers.
The water front of San Francisco is owned
by the people of the State. Los Angeles
has quite as much interest in it as San
Francisco. What San Francisco has tried
time and time again to do was to get pos
session of the water front
The San Joaquin Valley Road is pro-
jected solely in the interest Of San Fran
cisco, and it receives subsidy of State
property. 1t has been said that the day
of railroad subsidies is passed, but that is
mistake. The way for railroads to get
fifty years lease of fifty acres of land on
the city front of any city is to get up
pretended opposition concern. The lease
authorized by the Legislature has no re-
striction, is not necessary to build a
road. or lease it; it is not necessary to use
1t for any other purpose than leasing it.
1t is practically lease of five millions in
cash.
The Express is entirely right when it
says that San Francisco just now would
give the San Joaquin Valley Road right
of way up Market street, and the New
City Hall for depot, and then spend the
remainder of it's life in cursing the road
If it charged freights and fares sufficient
to make it financial success. There will
be merry elimination and recriminations
over the water front foolishness. It is in
just such times as the present that mis-
takes are made, and only fools and cow
ards are influenced by the cry of the mob.

Geese are not alarmed at the cackling
OF other geese, nor sheep by the bleating

be swayed from purposes of right by the

TIE USE or THE LASH.

1t is proposed to establish the whipping
post in New York. and it is philanthro-
pist who makes the proposition and is
pushing the movement. The idea is to
add the lash to the punishment by i'm
prisonment for grave felony. To the
credit Of the medical faculty of New York,
when the scheme was presented to it for
approval, it denounced the measure be-
cause the togging is to be administered,
not as reformatory means, as might be
done with youths in retormatory pre-
cisely as it is applied in schools and by
parents, but as a retrIbutive measure.
The philanthropist holds that the convict
should be caused bodily pain with the cat
o'-nine tails, because his crime has been
adjudged worthy Of punishment by i'm
prisonment at hard labor. Society is thus
to manifest a vengeful spirit, as if that
would give society any greater security
against criminal assaults. 1t is argued,
however, that the lash is to be used as
deterrent influence. But the very class
OF criminals to which it is proposed to ap-
ply the lash is the class that least fears
physical pain. They so little care for it
that they are known to invite it in fights,
brawls and cuttings. They are not sensi-
tive as would be the man of finer sensi-
bilities.
If threat Of ten, twenty or thirty years
Imprisonment will not deter the thug and
robber, neither will the threat of forty
lashes on the bare back. That kind of
criminals are not reformed by use of the
whip. If there is any hope of making
better men of them, it is to be realized
through the use of very different agencies.
When the whip is used as a corrective it
may aid reformation; when it is used re-
tributively it never can.
We must agree with DIR. Williams in
his view of the matter, as expressed in
the Ame3'ican Magazine of CiUtcS, that to
use the lash on State prisoners is to take
a step backward in dealing with crimi-
Ha4s. IL uOes uOL protect society; II the
moro brutalizes the criminal; it is not re-
formatory; it is vengeful, and hence it
is dishonorable to society, which cannot
contemplate vengefuIness.
We restrain criminals by i'm mprisonme ent
because it is dangerous for them to be at
large; while restrained we endeayor 10 re-
form them by such discipline as will
teach them to subdue their passions, be
obedient to law and regardful of others
rights, because it is right, and not because
OF fear Of corporal punishment. This is
not the day and hour when the doctrine
of IAN eye for an eye" can prevail.
If fflogging is to be introduced at all, il.
should take the place of imprisonment
it would then have some warrant to the
claim that it is corrective; but even then
it is doubtful if it would give US any bet
ter results than the system of restraint of
liberty.

THE NEW DIpHrHERIA REMEDY.

A few days ago we published an article
from Cincinnati physician in which it
was contended that the new diphtheria
cure or preventive is fraud; that it has
not established its right to public conf
dence. 1t is certain that very many ply
sicians hold to this view, and deprecste
the swift running after every new pre-
ventive claim. 1t is undeniable that time
enough has not elapsed as yet to deter
mine positively what are the after ef-
fects of the use of the anti-diphtheritic
serum.
experiments do tend to prove that when
it is used very early in the history of a
case it prevents further progress of the
disease. But it is only eighteen months
since the manufacture of the serum in
sufficient quantity to supply large de-
nand began. That is altogether too linn
tied a time within which to establish the
value OF the experiment. In all such dis
coveries few applications of the remedy
prove little. The use of it must be SO wide,
SO frequent under such varying condi-
tions and under such close and technical
observation, that science will be justified
in concluding that the rule claimed is gem
eral, and applies under most conditions
and in the larger number of cases. In
other words, it will take the experience
of some years and the most careful COLA
ton of statistics to arrive at positive
judgment in this matter.
1t is now seven years since the discov-
cry Of the so-called preventive for con-
sumption was announced and five years
since its application by skilled physicians
began. 1t is well known that as yet the
remedy. or preventive, has not demon
strated its virtue. In the new treatment oi
hydrophobia there has been far greater
success, and yetit is challenged now as un-
real. For it has been developed that since
the announcement of the discovery cases
OF hydrophobis have wonderfully, not tc
say alarmingly, increased, leading to the
belief that in the majority of instances
there was no true hydrophobia, and
therefore no true cure of that disease.
AS against these views we have the
statement duly verified that in the matter
