of Biloxi the same can be said.
New Orleans appears to have

Mobile with four cases at present

Mobile in general by far is a

Mobile is proud and boasts
thousands Of times over her trade

ii existence one yoar, from it's re-
ports of the first six months of
1897, veseyidence Of much pro-
mise, and when its mileage Of
seventy miles is considered, it is
not too extrayagant an assertion
to say no other road in the coun-
try proportionately can oversha-
dow in comparison.
During the aforesai d period
the road has handled over $4,000
tons of freight and its receipts
from passenger traffic alone reach.

Transacted. The road gives other
substantial signs of prosperity
which cannot b,o construed as
otherwise. The coming of the G.

petus to that section and its tribu-
airy country as to inspire conf
denee and insure the permanoncy
of. the project. 1t is to be un-
questionabiy accepted that moth
ing better than a railroad can help
to build country, and no agency
is more active towards aroad's sue
cess than that country through
which 1T passes. Dwelling on the
practicability of how a terrltory's $
resources and efforts are advan-
tageous to the railroad and on
the future success Of the Gulf
and Ship Island road, the lines as
follow from a recent issue of the
Gulfport Southwark are notamiss.'
"There is reason to believe that
the traffic on the road will be
doubled next season if not in
creased three-fold. The COM
pletion of the G. l.. 6 &. road
adds twenty miles to the Ship Is
land road, the erection and opera
ton of the cotton press at Hat

amount Of which will pass

TRIAL BY JURY.

Hon. VIM. !. Bryanin his recent
speech at st. Louis, among other
things, said:
'Laboring people have special
interest just now in securing3 re-
lief from what's aptly described
government by Injunction. The
extent to which the writ Of in
junction has been abused within
recent years has aroused hostili-
ty which Is almost universal. 1t
Is only.a a question of time when
goyernmentby Injunction will be
cured by legislation. The main
purpose of the writ of injunction
is to avoid trial BY jury. Trial by
jury Is more important to the
American people today than it
was ever before in our nations
history. It was originally intend
ed as a protection against royalty,
and it is today the main protec-
ton which the people have against
Iplutocracy, which is to this coun-
try what royalty is under monar-
chial form Of government.

SNIP rsr.AND STATION a MENACE
INC location Of the eovernmer


The location of the government
quarantine station at Ship Island
is constant menace to the coast.
Infected vessels are taken to that
station, which is in easy access to
the tens of thousands of people
who live at the coast towns adja-
cent. Vessels which are ordered
to the quarantine station have to
run past the shipping in the har-
Dor. 1t is by NJ means difficult
for quarantined persons. to make
their way to the mainland. Not
more than a year ago DR.. Haral-
son warned the medical board
against the location of the quar-
antine station at Ship Island. He
said that the risk to the coast
towns was great and that unless
it was removed the state would
soon be visited by an epidemic.
Ship Island harbor which is used
as pest harbor, is also used by a
large number Of ships for COM
mercial purposes, To bring to-
gether in one harbor infected
ships and healthy ships is to ap-
ply a torch to a powder magazine.
Gulfport, Biloxi and Mississip-
pi City are aiming to deepen the
approaches TO the harbor and
make it convenient for al classes
of lumber vessels. For this pur-
pose they are asking aid from
congress, and at the same time
the government holds over this
commerce the menace of a pest
house which may carry an epldem-
ic to any point on the coast.
The Mississippi authorities are
guarding against danger from the
government station by having 9

which keeps the Tdarantined YES.
sels -'dnder surveillance. Thi.
may prevent the danger to some
extent, but it is a singular thing
to see the state compelled to
watch and guard against a gov
ernment station. The station
should be removed as soon as pos
Esible to some point whore it is out
of reach of commerce. The gov
ernor of our state some time
ago asked for the removal of the
station, but his request has not
been acted upon. The matter
should be brought before congress
at the approaching session.

SOUTHERN ARmOR PLATE

General Manager A. NJ. Shook,
of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and
Railway Company, Congressman
j. w, Gaine, of Tennessee, and
Congressman Underwood of Ala
bama and Livingston of Georgia
will go before the naval armor
plate commission in a few days to
urge an examination of the armor
plate making facilities Df the
south.
Colonel Shook in an interview
said that his company stands ready
to deliver steel at any Atlantic
sea port at less cost than can be
done by any other company in the
United States.
He made this statement, he
said, positively, and wished to be
taken as such. He also stated the
iron.made by his company was
we'll adapted to making armor
plates, for Carnegie used it as a
mixturein manufacturing plates
Colonel Shook claims that the
capacity of the blast furnace al
Birmingham is more than suffi-
cient to supply all demands for
all plate.
