No More Soldiers Needed.

The recommendation of General Miles regular army does not find favor every where. The New York Press says:
 The more soldiers the less liberty. This is the lesson of history. Despotisms tax the toilers and levy tribute upon all property to uphold the grandeur of their armies It has been the boast ard ex- perience of free America for upward of a century that it is strong enough to stand alone and compel the respect of the world without an enormous army and navy to act in the capacity of scare crows. To advocate a different policy is simply to sow the wind, and the whirl- wind, blind and devastating in it's force, would surely follow.
 It Is bad policy on the part of the gov ernment to rely upon bayonets for the preservation of peace and order in this great republic. With just government. no monopolies. no privileges for fa- vored few, judicious financial system, and economical methods this would be the happiest and most prosperous coun- try in the world and troops would not be needed to keep the people down.
 If rpublicamsm means militarism it Is doomed. The American people will not stand it. They demand the restoration of the democratic government of their fathers, and they will not be satisfied unti) they again enjoy it's blessings. ''Take away the sword; states can be saved without it."

He says llhat it is no part of a mayors duty to put him in jail, and suggests that, as a good citizen, MT. George should go ahead before the election and send him to jail, if he has done anything to war rant such a proceeding. Any citizen can swear ou. a warrant or go before the grand jury, and Mir.

 Candidate George is no match for MT. Croker. or any other practical man of gcod sense ard tact. In the presem in stance he has placed himself in an awkward position, and has been made ridiculous by the common sense of his enemy. MT. George should get out of politics and stay out.

ClSNtROS RESCUE STAGED.
Two Dramatic Versions to Be Presented in New
 York Theaters.

From the Chicago Inter Ocean.
 New York, Oct. 25.-Hardly had the first news of the rescue of Evangslina Cossio Cisnercs from a Cuban prison been digested before the dramatists seized upon the alluring opportunities offered them. At two, theaters next week this thrilling episode will be pre- scented in true melodramatic style. For Liberty is the title of the one-act piec ce on this subject written by Mrs. Hoff- man-Nell and now in rehearsal on the stage of Proctor's theater. The author will play the part of the heroine. She has written much in support of the cause of Cuban independence. and the Cuban junta will, it is said, be we'll rep resented at the thsater on the opening night "Evangelina Cisneros'' is the ti- tie of another one-act piece in three scenes, which will be produced as a curtain raiser or as an after-piece at the Peoples theater, beginning Nov. 1, in conjunction with the Cuban military play, For Liberty and Love-"

Martial Law in Epidemics.

In some communities where there arc two races of people, ard a large num- Der of reckless and irresponsible persons dangerous epidemic sometimes renders the civil authorities powerless, and godd citizens are exposed to many risks. Per haps it would be a good idea under such circumstances for .he governor of 9 state to declare martial law. Military control is the only rule that is fully adequate to such emergencies.
 In some of !lhe cities and towns in the yellow fever region the exodus of large numbers of white property owners has left those places comparatively unpro- tected and they are at the mercy of the desperate classes. They are liable at any time to be plundered or given to the torch.
 Martial law would protect such towns, and it would also be useful in stamping. out line epidemic. What is needed is authority to resort to drastic measures an} nip the evil in the bud.

Negroes in the South.

The attsmtien of northern newspapers is respectfully called to the following paragraph from the Kansas City Star:
 The greater number of white people do not seem to know that the black man has now in his hands in this coun- try all the resources of progress and fu- ture power. He has aand; he has labor; he owns his land and he controls his labor, and the aggregate wealth of the colored population of the United States is yearly increased by millions. He has schools, hundreds and thousands of them, and scores of colleges and institu- tions of higher learning. If he chooses to remain ignorant. he will be cheated and despoiled; if he chooses to be vicious brute, he will be extermana ted like other wild beasts; Ibut if he chooses to walk up the ascending way (and this the great majority do eleet), then he sees ir,to the high atmosphere of freedom and enlight- enmen,t. and greater prosperity spreads all around him.
 There is wonderful amount of truth and good sense packed intoethese few lines. It would be impossible to find a country in the world where the negroes flourish as they do in this region. When they conduct themselves like good citi- zens they have the aid of their white

Foruettina Neal Dow.

Poor old Neal Dow seems to be for gotten in hurry in Maine, where he made his fame as the author and guar dian of the prohibition law. The Chi cago Tribune has the following fair sum- mary of the situation:
 Tt is said that there will be a general effort, not seriously opposed, to repeal the entire body of prohlbbtory legisla- ton on the statute books of Maine. A bill for that purpose will be introduced and will probably pass in the next leg islature.
 Statutes prohibiting the traffic in liquor originated in Maine. The late General Neal Dow was the father of all the laws on the subject. Att first the statutes prohibiting the sale of liquor were inn perfect and afforded many facilities for their violation. They were amended time and time again.
 As often as the courts found defects In the Maine statutes amendments were made. Gases involving the validity of the laws were carried to the highest state and federal courts. At length the perfected statutes were held to be valid in all the judicial tribunals.
 It seemed as if an ironclad system Of prohibition had been devised at last The laws were of an imperative charac- ter: state espionage over the entire liquor
  everywhere; there was apparently no loophole of escape for a man who vio- la ed the law Neal Dow was the guar dian of the prohibltory system and ne maintained his watchcare to the last.
 But, except occasionally, by Spasmodc effort, the liquor traffic In Maine never was suppressed except in localities. There was just as much drunkenness and it was worse, because poorer liquor was sold.
 IL is now believed that as Neal Dow, the author of the prohibitory system, IS dead all the laws on the subject will be repealed and that a reasonable license system will be adopted. It is at least certain that there will be no more inc Dri- ety under license system than there has been under the prohibition system
 According to the census reports. Maine is the only state in the union whose pop ulaItion hss shown almost no increase during the past forty years. There is something about a sumptuary law which hampers a community. The people in 1t are classsd by outsiders as hypoctites, cranks or detectives. The law is never enforced. There are always localities in which the sale of liquor goes on fresly. Neal Dow himself was always complain ing about Bangor and other places as "rum-cursed cfties.'
 The repeal of the prohibition law will probably not increase the consumption of liquor in Maine.
 Intemperance is on the decline in this country except among the reckless and idle, who do not care for steady employ ment, and who are not competing for the great prizes of life. The exigencies of business, tine demands of industrial oc- equations are rapidly making it unpopu- lar for respectable citizens to drink to excess Few business and professional men drink every day. They rarely ever touch liquor, except at functions, and then they partake of it in moderation.
 Prohibition alws vex good citizens; in- terfere with their liberty and hamper trade. They do not suit free coun- tFV.

Cotton Mills and Coal.

Sou;h Carolina has a million spindles in operation, and that seems to be the reason why that state proposes to have another million in a short time. She is building new mills and enlarging old ones all the time. It is glorious state, and yet there is not a pound of coal in her sol. Not pound. friends and cit izens.
 Perhaps you say that the enterprisiug Carolinians utilize water and turbine wheels. So they do. and their work in that direction is something marvellous. something, too, that will stand repetition in other southern states. For there Is not cotton growing state that has not water powers fully as good as those of South Carolina
 But South Carolina is not confined to
The age-herald., 1897-10-28

turbines. She Is today building S0,000 spindle mill at Aiken. 400 miles from a coal mine, and that great mill is to be driven by steam power. The coal for that mill will, it Is within bounds to say. cost twice the price per ton that steam coal costs in the Birmingham district.
 The question before the people of Ala bama IS this: If steam-driven cotton mill at Aiken can earn dividends. why should capitalists, biz or little. hssitase to locate mills on or near coal beds. amid cotton fields? The mH at Aiken is net to be mill of new inexperienced com pany. It is to be the property of the Warren Manufacturing company, con- pany that has long been engaged in man. ufacturing cotton, a company that knows all the advantages and disadvantages of cotton manufacturing in the south, and it wants another mll, even if no water power be available.
 The question s left with the people of Alabama. They need not look for outside capital. It is good chance for inGle capital. Montgomery recently built mill without much outside as- sistance. Birmingham should build likewise more than one mill. Such mills should arise from small but numerous stock subscriptions. Started by men having the confidence of the community they should and would become a favorite method of investing small savings.

AIabama's Mineral Wealth.

The Manufacturers Record of recent date is an Alabama number, without, however, any flourish of trumpsts or preliminary announcement. The num- Der in question seems to have naturally accumulated matters of interest to Ala bama, the focal state of southern indus trial activity. To begin with, it edi- torially urges the south to concentrate its votes upon Birmingham in the ef- fort to bring the armor plate plant to the southern iron field. Its advice is all the more forceful now that the Beth lehem company has offered it's armor plate plant to the government below cost'' The price is not, however, given. It is believed the Carnegies have done likewise. These offers seem to indicate that the hold-up policy has been aban- doned. The combine seems to have reached the conclusion that the govern ment is in earnest.
 The Record next presents a transla- tion of the report of Dr. F. w. Inhe, president of the Chicago Polytechnic in
 
 stitute made to an association of for eign capitalists in relation to southern iron. In substance pr. Inhe addresses is clients not to attempt to make steel from the magnetic ores of Cranberry and its vicinity in the Kentucky and North Carolina mountains, because in the first place coal is not near at hand, and in the second place the Cranberry district has poor transportation facili- ties; but to go straight to the Birming ham district. where excellent. open hearth steel can be made more cheaply than elsewhere, where the steel itself can be shipped at low rates to tidewater. He gives figures, quotes experts and sums up our advantages in way that would be surprising if all previous evil dence had not led up to similar conclu- sions. There are no ifs or buts in his report. He places Birmingham at the top of the worlds list of places where good steel can be cheaply produced
 Then in the Record there is found an- other article equally long and equally valuable on the coal deposits of. Ala bama. particularly of the Warrior field in Walker county. The article is a summary of Gen. Joseph Burke's pam phfet. Gen. Burke desires the govern ment to enable Alabama to displace English and Nova Scotia coal in the gulf ports. He shows that slackwater navigation in the Warrior will enable us to permanently supply all the gulf counties to the exclusion of English coal He shows that no better bituminous coal is mined anywhere than is to be had in Alabama, less than 300 miles from Mobile. the future coal port of the gulf.
 He makes the situation so plain that the reader wonders why the people have gone along all these years letting Eng land monopolize valuable markets al- most at their own doors Even Pitts burg has not sought those markets, and the improvement of the Warrior would therefore result in a clear gain to the national trade. The pamphlet in oues- tion should have wide circulation es- pecially in the latitude of Washington, when the lawmakers of the country are again assembled. What Gen. Burke knows about Alabama coal should be within the knowledge of every patri- otic and intelligent citizen of the state. His address is Jacksonville Ala.

A Bit of History.

More than six weeks ago The Age Herald printed a news item to the effect that a MT. Lakin had yellow fever in paper down there that it was una ble to find space for little else for many days except for denials. Since it has been publicly known fever has prevailed there 1t has developed that MT. Lakin did have yellow fever. The Age-Herald prinaed the news upon the statement of Prof. James K. Powers and he, to, was abused James K. Powers and he, too. was abused for telling what he believed % be the truth arid which has since been proven to be the truth.
 Prof. Powers has been vindicated by subssquena events, and those events show that yellow fever prevailed in Montgomery for as much as five weeks before the board of health and newspa- pers there would tell the truth about it, seeking to delude the people and place them in the greatest danger of coming in contact with the disease when by tell
 
 people could have taken refuge in places of safety. At that time the fever was circumscribed and could have been con fined in the one locality. just SIS the board of health of Mobile has almost succeeded in doing.
 A Montgomery paper has been busy for the past few days in circulating reports that yellow fever prevailed in this city. Let it be said that Birmingham has no yellow fever, nor any suspicious cases of fever and when it has the Birming- ham board of health and it's newspapers will be faithful and truthful to the peo- pie by telling the truth and not endan- ger the health and lives of the citizens by lying about it as was done in Mont gomery from which innocent people have died, which, in the opinion of many, was the same as criminal wilfulness. N
 The question in the minds of those who have a personal acquaintance with Bonrxe Cochran, and those who know some thing of the mans methods is: How much is Tom Platt paying him to support Tracy, the republican for mayor of New York? MT. Cochran supported Mckinley last year for so much per speech, and his price was high, far moro than he was worth. American history has not recorded the name of a man more graspdng and with less political honor than Bourke Cochran.
