SOUTHERN RAILWAY POOL.
Adoption of General Plan OF Joint
Traffic Association.

NEW YORK, January D.-The Maii
and Express this afternoon prints the
follo3ing: 1T is learned on the highest
authority that the lines comprising
the Southern States Freight Association
are preparing a plan whereby 1t is pro-
posed to pool the traffic to and from
southern points within the jurisdiction
of that organization. Steps TO that emu
have been already taken, and the spe-
cial committee, which was in session
in this city the latter part OF last week,
discussed various means. and prepared a
basis on which to divide the business.
This committee was headed by Commis-
soner Hanes, of the Southern states
Freight Association. and among the
other members present were Vice-Presi-
dent Findley Of the Southern railway;
General Manager Scott. of the Georgia
railroad: Vice-President Erwin, of the
Plant system, and Trafic-Manager EN-
erson. of the Atlantic-Coast Line.
"The committee held a final meeting
Saturday morning at No. "a Park Place.
and they will meet soon again to make
their reports as to the acceptance Of the
plan proposed The present unsatisfactory
condition of southern traffic, coupled with
the dissatisfaction known to exist among
the lines. is responsible for the proposed
plan Of division.
For some time past it has been ap-
parent that steps in the proposed direc-
tion would have TO be taken in order
to prevent open rebellion. The notice Of
withdrawal of the Seaboard Airline
FASTENED matters. and under the proposed
plan all differences will be settled. Diff
ferentials are proposed. and the general
plan of the Joint Traffic Association will
be followed"

State II il generally believed that these
orders relate TO keeping the troops In
readiness. and that they have been In
spired by the Washington authorities. in
view OF the threatening nature OF our for
efsn relations.
The denials and professions of igno-
rance by the Washington authorities
and the State officials carry little
weight here. as the people generally ex-
pect these gentlemen to poo-pooh the
statement. for diplomatic reasons.
Whether the story be true or not. its
sponsors certainly think 1t has good
foundation. and II Is fact that 1t
has gained wide currency throughout
the State. A significant fact Is that the
story seems to have become known in
every town where there Is military
company at about the same time.
The excitement II has caused in Flo
rida Is very great and the war-fever
is higher to-day than ever.

Republicans United and Ready for the
BattIe-The General Outlook.
To the Editor OF the 1nteliigencer.
s1R:-once again the people Of this
county have set their longinEs and an
ticipatIons toward the approaching
campaign. The political enthusiasm
which has been dormant for some time,
has begun to bubble and ere long will
be plainly seen and heard from all
sides. The time Is fast approaching
when a progressive line OF duty must
be entered upon for the holding OF our
recent victories. Then these grand
leaders Of the &. o. p. Will be placed in
other campaigns
The Democrats have conceded that
they do not expect to elect President,
and have but little hope of electing any,
state officers. This county, however,
has long been under the rule of the
Democrats: but from the unfavorable
outlook they have begun to doubt their
former power: a great effort will be
made to place 1t In the Republican
ranks this year,
II we intend to hold the magnificent
victories of late we Will have to begin
TO mould public opinion and to organize
our forces. BY cooperation and thor
ough organization. West Virginia will
be held with ease But II we do not
prepare ourselves while peace and quiet
reIgns we will find ourselves in the
midst of one Of the fiercest battles ever
Inaugurated against us. We are In Il
position where neglect certainly means
destruction: we are In a position where
everything depends on the willingness
OF our co-lnborers 10 exert their influ-
a
ore in position where the right men
must be put In the right place, from the
highest to the lowest nominations.
The record OF the few years OF Dem
ocrntc disasters stands without par
allel in the history OF our country.
With the many thousands OF business
failures. the general bankruptcy of tho

that have passed Into the hands OF the

The Intelligencer Is informed OF the
organization OF the Independent Order
OF Wheeling Girls. which Is suspected Of
being ieap-year trust against the
young men OF Wheeling and In favor OF
young men residing elsewhere There
is threat that this organization,
though now flourishlng. shall be broken
up. From this is may be inferred that
there are in Wheeling young men who
resent the edict OF ostraeism supposed
to have been issued by tho Independent
order Of Wheeling Girls.
The Intelligencer likes to stand by
home Institutions. but here there Is a
question of divided duty. To stand by
the young men In their remonstrance is
to oppose the girls in their right to seek
companions. even husbands. where
they please. The fact that this Is leap

girls and their organization. even

tom she is permitted to seek her life

the young men who feel themselves
victims OF a cold and merclless trust
the Intelllgencer is compelled to admit
that for this whole year it will be the
sweet privilege of the girls to run the
social and matrimonial machine in
their own way. and no man dare hinder
or make them afraid.
It is for the girls themselves to con-
slider what may happen to them in the
years that do not leap II they miss 1t in

part may be so unforgiving as to take

There Is a touch OF the pathetic In the

Mississippi imploring Mr.. William c.
whitney 70 permit himself to be pushed
for the Democratic presidential nomi-
nation.
Contrary to expectation 1t appears
that there are others than Colonel Nor
rison, widely known as Horizontal
Bill" who are willing to be nailed to
the Democratic masthead. Vice Presi-
dent Stevenson would consent under a
reasonable amount of pressure so ap-
Piled as to make his yielding seem like
compulsion. From the agile antics OF
Mr. Harrity it is doing no injustice to
Ex-Governor Pattison. OF Pennsylvania.
20 suppose that he permits himself to
think he has some use for the nomina-
ton. Yet no despaIrIng appeal is in
train to reach any one OF these.
It'll to Mr.. Whitney that Mississippi
Is turning in this hour of Zimmerman
gloom. Perhaps AIR. Whitney would
not run better than Mr.. Stevenson or
Mr.. pattison or Colonel Morrison. That
has nothing to do with the case. Down
In Mississippi they have been having
hard times along with the rest of the
country. and they are practical Demo-
carts. Mr. whitney has ''har'i."'and
the surprising beauty OF It Is that this

springs Of New York surface roads and
Standard oil tanks.
Britannia may reach out her long,

ofthese things will move the unterrified
Democracy of Mississippi II navigation

\ Since Mr.. Whitney has more than he
needs, and because 1t is a good thing to
keep money in ejaculation, and seeing
that II does not matter whom the DEM
ocrats nominate or whether they do not
nominate az ali. we wish the Mississippi
Democrats success in their benevolent
design on the ''bar'l" of Mr. Whitney.
