NO NEED or ALARM.


Much excitement prevailed In the city
yesterday over the announcement that
smallpox was present in the city. That
the disease is here there is no need of
denying. yet with the present healthful
conditions and the active process of
cleaning up inaugurated by Acting Mayor
Pearce, the public need have no alarm.
Cool judgment on the part of every one
will prevail and no need exists for a
stampede, as the health officers. both
city and county, have gone to work and
will have all suspects located and re-
moved-as speedily. as found to the pest
house, where the best of attention will
be given them.
The state Herald urges all citizens to
have themselves and families vaccin-
ated as soon as possible, as the city and
county have provided the health officers
with virus for the purpose. Have your
family physicians to attend to this mat

dience, who. enjoyed the comical situa-

into the hearts of the audience more and
more at every performan nee. Miss Dur

an actress Of unmistakable ability.
lMr. Peters and Miss Nettie PeFers were
excrueiatngly funny, as usual. The Ia

a distinct hit as .lhe old maid. Mr.. Peters,
imfati of Frank Mayo, Joseph Jeffer-

the late John T. Raymond were superb.
Those who had seen the originals said the
limitations were correct in every detail.

A CONSERVATIVE JOURNAL.

1t would naturally make an Alabamdan

bile Register, relative to the discovery
of brown iron ore in such quantities near
Birmingham The Register said: 1--WE

the Register had commented on a report

any expression of doubt on the part of
the Mobile paper

THE POSTMA STERsHIP.

Several weeks ago a gentleman named
W F. Kinnemer, from Marshall county,
came among us, and from the inquiries he
made it was concluded he intended be-
coming a citizen. OF course, everyone
wanted to know what business he meant
to enter, but none could find out In
fact, though the direct question was
asked him, he always evaded an answer,
and as he appeared to be gentleman,
good manners demanded that we receive
him without further inquiry. So time
rolled along, he gradually became identi
fled with US and questioning ceased. 1t
remained for this week to bring things to
a crisis. Monday morning 1t was Tu-
mored that Mr.. Kinnemer was an appl-
cant for the postofiiee to succeed our pres
ent postmaster, Leonard Cornish. This
set the pot aboiling, for inasmuch as the
incumbent's term does not expire until
some time in March, no steps had been
taken to petition for his reappointment.
but when it was found that Mr.. Kenne-
mer had out a petition then the friends of
Mr. Cornish did not let the grass grow
under their feet" Tuesday morning pc
titions were put out, and from the ex-
ceeding1y liberal way in which they are
being signed, it is safe to judge that If
the citizens of Demopolis have anything
to say in the matter, Mr.. Cornish will re-
tain the office, for not only are those of his
own party signers, but those of the re-
publican persuasion. recognizing his abil-
ity and the general satisfaction he has
given during his administration of the
office. have no hesitancy in subscribing
their names to the petitions.
From all we know Mr.. Kennemer is a
gentleman. and We extend to him a most
cordial welcome as a citizen. but If he
means to try and GUST our efficient post
ma ster, then we are "agin" him.-Demop-

the PRESS to keep down turmoil and strife.

But We have not heard the last of the

PROSPEROUS SILVER MEXICO.

The New York Sun speaks editorially
of the extraordinary boom in railroad
building in silver Mexico. Our readers
recall how this and other papers fought
Bryan during the campaign for fear this
country would be .Mexieanized." We
reproduce the Suns editorial to show
how the logic of events is demonstrate
ing the falsity of the republican argu-
ments of the last campaign, and the truth
of the democratic position on the curren-
cy question, The Sun says:
In the republic of Mexico there is at
this time more activity in the construc-
ton of nsW railroads than III any other
country in the world In a message
which President DiaZ sent to the Mexican
congress two years ago, he spoke of the
new lines which were then approaching
completion, and of other lines upon which
work had been begun, and also of the
projects for yet other lines which had
been presented to the government. Since
that time the building of railroads, some
of them long and others short. has been
carried on as energetlcaily as Gen, Diaz
could 4 81 e. American nd English nd
German and French capitalists have
made inVes tn1e hts in them to the amount
of many millions of dollars
We learn that the new lire from Cusr-
navacas near the City of Mexico, to the
port Of Acapulco, on the Pacific seaboard,
is SO nearly completed that, if expecta-
ton be fulfilled, it, will be opened fer
traffic before the end of this month. Five
thousand men are at work upon it. There
is already a line from the City of Mexico
to Vera Cruz on the eastern shore; so
that when the road now nearly ready for
service shall be opened. there will be a
anscoaftnenial line connecting the gulf
of Mexico with the Pacific OCEAN There

A line of perhaps greater importance to
Mexico is the one now under construction,
which is to run from El Paso, on the Rio
Grande. across the states of Chihuahua
and Sinaloa to Topolobampo, on the gulf
OF California, and which will probably be
extended as far southwark as San Bias.

incorporates at Albany by a company of
New York capitalists, Is the Rio Gfaude,
Sierra Madre and Pacific Railroad of
Mexico. portion of this road, 100 miles
IN length, was opened a fortnight ago,
all of which had been built in excellent
style since October last. It will pass
through region that is exceedingly rich
in its resources. but sparsely inhabited,
the two states of Sinaloa and Chihanhau,
which have an area of 100000 square
miles, with a population of only about
half million. The capital stock of the
American company which has THE eonees-
sion for the road amounts to $3120000
There is to be a connection between this
nine and the Mexican Central.
BESIDES thsse large railroad enterprises
there are a number of others of lesser
magnitude The Mexican Navigation and
Railroad company has received a sub
sidy of public lands for the construction
of a line that shall bring the Tehauntepec
road into connection with the city of Vera
Cruz There islto be a line from Monterey
to the port OF Soto la Marina, on the
Gulf of Mexico A contract has been en-
tsred into for the construction of a line
from San Luis PotoSi to the coffee dis
tricts of the State of Vera Cruz A con-
cession has been made for new line
running southwark from Toluca. The
line hat has been built from Merida. in
the STATE of Yucatan, to the city of Cam
peeche, is to be extended under a LIBERAL
concession from the government to sew
eral other places. The new line from
Manzanillo, ON the Pacific coast. Ito Co
lima, in the state ofsthat name, Is in OPP
Grafton, and will be extended north TO
Guadalajara, If a renewal of the conces-
sion, which was forfeited for the nom
fulfillmenIt of the terms, can be OBJ. aimed
by the Americans who desire it. Beside
the many enterprises here spoken of,
there are plenty of railroad projects
awaiting the approval of the Mexican
government The 1000 milss of railroad
which Mexico had last year will be i'm
creased by three or four thousand miles
when the lines now in COURSE of construc-
ton, for which concessions have been
granted, shall be completed.
Ut is with pleasure that we refer to
the development of the railroad ard COM
mercial interests of THE republic of Mex
leo; and abovs all we recognize in it a
tribute OH the part of the capital and
commerce of the whole world to the
honor and efficiency and the stability of
the government that has been created
by that eminent among the statesmen of
the country, General Porfirio Diaz.
