Selma, Ala. Journal.
George A. Wilkins, secretary
of the the Alabama Telephone
and Construction Company. in
conversation with a reporter of
the journal this morning, SAID
in answer to a question as to why
the Company abandoned the
telephone business in Selma:
"The simple reason was that the
Exchange was not paying ex.
penses, and there was no pros.
pect of its doing so at the prices
charged, 1t appeared 10 be i'm.
possible, with the instruments
used, principally the Harrison,
to give satisfactory service, or a
service that would bear com.
parison with the Bell. This was
a constant source of complaint
and annoyance.

about home institutions and local
influences, but the investors want
and expect some returns on their
investment. and the people, the

The Disatser Not as Bad as
First Reported.

The first reports OF the great
st. Louis storm we're considera-
bly, exaggerated, as is usually
the case when such a calamity
occurs. 1t was impossible in the
confusion and darkness to obtain
definite information. and the
stories of havoc and fatality we're
magnitied by the exciting influ-
ences of the situation. The mum
Der of killed. which was hastily
estimated at 1000, is now known
to be less than 200 for ST. Louis
aud'probably about the same for
East st. Louis, while the des.
truction of property may be put
at not to exceed 100000. 1t
is impossible as yet to tell how
many were wounded. but the list
is likely to be several times as
large as that of the dead /; and
there are hundreds of houseless
and destitute families, thankful
in their DISTRESS that they escap-
ed with their lives. The work of
succoring the needy is being car
ried on with all possible dill
gence and effectiveness. There
was quick response of public
sympathy and'charity to the de-
mands of the occasion, and well
organized efforts of relief give
assurance that no sufferer will
be neglected and no means spar
ed to restore general, comfort
and happiness. twill take some

AsILESCE THAT is MANLY.
From n. Y. Tribune.

Less men may be of some service
Major Mckinley is not a.fool. nor
does he pretend to be greater
than his party, as President
Cleveland has done so often. He
does not attempt to dictate its
platform, and will not depart
from the justand self-respecting
policy of refusing to say anything
pending acontest for the nomlna.
tiop which shall seem in the least
degree to alter the public record
by which he has right and is
content to be Judged, as other
candidates will be. 1t will be
proper for him to state, after the
convention has framed a plat
form, whether he can consistent.
ly accept and stand on it, and
there is no chance that he will
accept the nomination but dis
honestly refuse to abide by the
platform, as President Cleveland
did. The silence of the man is
proof that all the world cannot
force from him a statement
which his self-respect or his con-
victions of right aisapprove. His
record is open to all Those who
do not garble it for their own
purposes find that he has repeat
edly declared, when a candidate
for Governor and IN Congress
against free coinage of silver,
and for the best money man has
ever devised. The men who are
hammering athis door for some
thing else show themselves desti-.
tute of the sense of decency
which governors honorable rivals
in political competition.
1t is already plain that some of
the silver men mean to bolt be-
cause the nomination and the
platform will not suit them. But
it is not the business of Republi-
cans who are not merely assist
ant Democrats to labor for the
increase of their opposition to
sound principles. Every man
who honestly desires the main:
tenance of the gold standard will
hope that delegates from the
silver States, after full confer.
ence in convention with,delegates
from other sections, will be CON
WINGED that the country cannot
safely or honorably do anything
except maintain the soundness of
its currency on the present basis
until other nations are prepared
for an international agreement.
The men who are anxious just
now to stir up allthe antagonism
they can in silver States, and to
make the opposition to a sound
policy as great as they can, are
trying to defeat the cause of
honest money for personal ends
which cannot be called patriotic
or honorable.
The, truth is that these politl-
clans are afraid that the Conven-
ton will be altogether too har-
monious and united for their
advantage. They are exactly in
the attitude of the blackmailers
who intest every Legislature,
and whose practice it is to stir
up hostility to a wise and neces.
sary measure in order that they
may be personally hired to allay
that opposition and secure desir-
ed success. If there should be
substantial harmony, except in
half a dozen little silver States,
the triumph of the Republican
ticket would be certain, and po-
litical managers would not have
the desired opportunity tode-
mand offices and patronage as
the price of electoral votes which
they assume to control.
