ELECTRIC RAILWAY CARS.

The West of France Railway Com
pany contemplates q new departure
i'm the utilization of its spare supply
of electric current It's intention is
to provide electric cabs for the use
of passengers by its lines. The COM
pany has an electric plant which is
not used during the greater part of
the day, and would serve to charge
the batteries. It now asks builders
ito design an electric cab capable of
carrying four passengers and $50 llilos
of luggage. and able to run fifty kill
meters daily. IT will give six months
trial to the designs sent in, paying a
daily rent for their use. and reserve
the right of making a choice at the
end of that period, and buying at a
price agreed upon beforehand the
vehicles which have taken part i'm the
competition. The cabs are to be fur
nished with an appliance by which
the passengers will be able to 90 for
short distance and pay only accord
ing to the shortness Of the trip. The
old plan of charging n france for n
quarter of an hour brought endless
disputes for want of a satisfactory
"indicator." The fare now halls a
cab for a short trip, and the driver
at once turns two keys, which brings
the hands of n dial that mark both
time and money to the starting point.
The lowest fare allowed is. say. 10
cents; but if the passenger rides for
over two minutes the charges goes up
to II cents. When six minutes have
passed the hand points TO so centimes
or 16 cents. For % cents one can
drive for sixteen minutes, and for %
cents twenty-three minutes. This is
the circuit of the system, for at 30
cents the ordinary tariff for the
course comes into operation.

The crops of the islands should be put in next month in order to secure good returns next year, and the agriculturalists will not take up the work, nor even in many cases go back to their lands, until they know and see the Spaniards leaving the island. The insurgents, too, are discontented, because they see no signs of an ending of Spanish rule.
 The protocol is six weeks old, and it calls for "the immediate evacuation" of Cuba The three commissioners seem to be pay ing more attention to personal comfort and to honors for Blanco than to the one duty they were sent to perform. They were sent to Havana to secure, arrange for and carry out the immediate evacuation of the island on the part of Blanco and his army Blanco is reported to have asked that Feb ruary 2S be named as the day upon which evacuation is to begin. As there are 100000 Spanish soldiers on the island American occupation would thus be delayed to anoth- CT rainy season. The American people will stand no such trifing, no such delay, with the terms of the protocol lying before them. Evacuation next year is not "immediate' evacuation.
 American troops should be sent to Cuba just as soon as the climatic conditions VIII permit and Blanco should be given to un- derstand that the "manana" policy must not be applied in the evacuation of Cuba There is a very great difference between the two words, immediately and 'manana." The protocol calls for the one, and does not recognize the other. The ad- missioners in Cuba should stand firmly up to the terms of the protocol

LONELY IN MEMPHIS.

From the Nashville American.
 The Scmetar does not like going 1t alone down on the lonely Mississippi bluff, and feelingly eXclaims:
 If we are going to have shotgun quar- antine every year we ought to know 1t ana prepare for it by building stone wall around the city, mounting it with rapid-fire guns and providing a standing army for it's defenSe."
 We did not know the public was so anX- icus to get to Memphis. But there Is one consolation-the quarantine will be over the first frost, and then the residents of Harde- man and Fayette counties and the Missis- sippi river fishermen living over on the Ar kansaw shore can resume their pilgrimages to Mecca. It must be lonesome not to see rne horses hitched to the courthouse fence and the boys playing marbles. We gather from the tone of the Scimetars ar- ticle that the business is slack in town, and we understand that there has been only three boxes of sardines sold at the store since the quarantine set in. These were a special order from the Commercial Ap peal the editor of the Hardeman Free Press having asked it to make this pur- chase and file it immediately The Free Press man said lie wanted it for his ice cream fate. We trust that a killing frost will soon fall and lift the quarantine from Memphis, and this before first Monday.

The Home-coming of the Second.

The Second Alabama has been in hard luck. The Montgomery barbecue in honor of the brave boys of the gallant regiment ''fell through" to use the words of the Mo- bile Item, and the Mobile companies went struggling into that city fin ragged squads, half dozen at a time." It is difficult to divine just what the phrase 'in ragged squads" means. It certainly does not mean that the substantial uniforms issued by Uncle Sam to the boys of the Second be- came frayed and rent in traveling from Montgomery to Mobile. It may mean that the squads came into Mobile very much as Mobile recruited them-in a ragged and meagre and very scattering manner. The Item surely has not forgotten that Mobile did not cover itself with glory in the re- cruiting days. It did not send to the camp any solid phalanxes of enthusiastic and spontaneous soldier boys. They went there 'in ragged squads" so to speak and they seem to have returned home in like man. ner.
 And the reception and armory lunch at Mobile, which the Item had planned, also "fell through and the Item notifies the subscribers to the fund to call at the box office for their money. Everything "fen through although, the Item kindly and generously says, Birmingham was enter taining her soldiers regally." There is one thing the boys of the Second cannot com plain of, and that is the desire and nten- ton of the Item to do them due and proper honor. The Item appreciated their services even if the rest of the people of Mobile did not and beyond that the boys of the Sec ond will have to find their reward and con solation in the enjoyment of home during furlough time and in the satisfaction that springs from duty well and nobly done.

The Cuban Situation.

Admiral Sampson. General Wade and General Butler represent this country at Havana, and if the advices from that city are to be trusted they should study the meaning of the word Immediately" The protocol calls for an immediate evacuation of Cuba. It was signed and ratified six weeks ago; and yet today Blanco is master of Havana and of the rest of Central ana Western Cuba, and Is collecting duties, and is exercising all the other functions of gov. ernment. His authority remains unques- tioned, and his autonomous colonial cabl- net is In full authority. To all intents and purposes Havana and Cuba generally. out side the Santiago district, IS as thoroughly and governmentally Spanish as it was be- fore the protocol was signed.
 This is very hurtful in many respects.

American Destiny.

There has been so much ancient inanity expended over the Philippines and Porto Rico, that little good, plain common sense is refreshing; and The Age-Herald takes pleasure in reproducing from the columns of the Rochester Herald, demo- cratic paper of high standing in New York state, this excellent bit of horse sense:
 "Of course, nobody proposes to apply the American form of government to the Phil ippines, or even to Porto Rico, at once. These dependencies will be for a long time under a form of government that must closely resemble a military dictatorship, and it is an interesting question whether the carping critics of any proposed expan- sion are capable of realizing that the Amer ican system of government may not only prove itself equal to the demands put upon it, but may itself derive incalculable bene- fit from the effort.
 Holland to all intents and purposes a re- public, with only about 100000 inhabitants, successfully governs 35OOO,O0O foreigners, and has grown wiser, richer, and stronger in the operation If our system is so mar row that it will not permit us to take in and properly care for a few millions of semi-savages and see that they get justice then something must be the matter with our system, as applied to ourselves, and the sooner we find it out and apply the remedy the better"
 The owls who waste their time in re- hearsng Washington's farewell address and other musty and inappicable documents refuse to consider a centurys growth. A century in America is a live century indeed. American destiny is proceeding steadily, calmly and irresistably. If any one thinks this is a standstill country tied to some old maxims that were good enough in the days of their delivery, he will be apt to wake up some morning to a discovery that will sur prise him. Progress is the law in all but decadent nations, and the United States Is not decadent nation by large majority. American destiny is not Spanish destiny nor Russian destiny. nor even English des- tiny. The statesmen who sit on dry goods boxes do not, fortunately for us all, con- tro this nation, or any other for that mat ter.

The Fever is Not Spreading.

A very mild case of fever has been de- veloped in the detention camp at the old Mary Holmes college, two miles northwest of Jackson. The patient, a white woman, was exposed to the infection in the Kilgore case. She has been isolated, and no fear of a spread of the disease is felt.
 No other case exists in Mississippi out side of Lafayette county. It is reasonably certain that the infection is beyond control in Oxford, and there are, therefore, three foci in the county-Oxford, Taylor's and Or wood. Cases will occur from time to time at all three points until frosts come.
 Out of seventy or more cases in Franklin, La, only two deaths have occurred The usual mortality in this country is twelve Ter cent, but the mortality in Lafayette coun. ty and at Franklin will not be five per cent
 The mortality Tn New Orleans is higher, but the number of acknowledged cases is not sufficiently largo to show the death rate. In New Orleans it is very plain that cases will continue to occur until cold weather renders the infection harmless.
 The New Orleans papers have adopted the foolish policy of avoiding the subject They are silent. They neither deny nor admit anything. They do not discuss the subject, and they give no facts pertaining to the dis ease. The course of the Jackson Clarion Ledger and Memphis Commercial-Appea is directly contrary and clearly better They give all the news that is authenticated, and their readers are in a position to repel rumors. Their readers understand the situ- ation.
 It is very difficult as yet to estimate the dangers of the outbreak It seems proba- ble, however, that the experienced physi- clans who are fighting the infection will be able to keep it within narrow bounds. Ala bama and Georgia and Florida may escape without case. Memphis is prepared to repel fever germs. Columbus and Meridian are alert. They are the outposts of Ala bama.
The age-herald., 1898-09-24

capital in that state, and 1t is to be hoped that their grand old commonwealth will continue its onward course of progress with broader strides. The jubilation of the Ala bamians is due to the fact that concern calling itself the Alabama Steel and Ship building company has erected steel plant at a point six miles from Birmingham which will cost when completed between S2,OO0,0O0 and $3,0OO,000. The mills to begin operations next March and will start with several large contracts which have already been secured. The purpose of the mills is to sell their products in the north and for eign countries and the enterprising men wbo have invested their money in the en- terprise intend to show that steel of the best quality can be made in the Birming ham district cheaper than anywhere else in the world and there is every reason to believe that they will succeed in demon strating this fact to the entire satisfaction of the buyers in foreign markets.
 Their success is certain to result in in- ducing other great investments in a re- zion where iron, coal and all the clements that enter into the manufacture of steel exists in unlimited, we might say ineX- haustible, quantities, and in close proxim- ity to each other
 Alabama is coming forward in another industry in which she Jagged for a long time behind several other southern states, the manufacture of cotton goods. In 1889 there were but S1 900 cotton spindles in Alabama; now there are over 100000 More cotton mills have been built in Alabama in the last eighteen months than in any other southern state. The Dwight Manu- featuring company, of Chicopee, Mass, will at once begin the construction of 30,000-spndle mill at Gadsden. This is one of the foremost cotton mill companies of the east, and its practical tribute to the superiority of the south for manufacture of cotton is a matter of much importance. There is no reason why Alabama should not make as rapid advance in this indus- try as the Carolinas have made in the last ten years.
 We congratulate our sister state-we should say our daughter state-upon the many signs and promises of prosperity she now enjoys.

MORGAN,s NAME

From the New York Press.
 One of the abler newspaper men in New York, man who thinks seriously on seri- ous subjects, said to me yesterday: TT noticed Tips paragraph about the Wall street influence over certain papers finan- cial columns, and what he says is abso- lutely true, but, let me tell you, old man, that no financial column in any newspaper on earth is worth a cent to that paper un- less the speculative public believes that 1t represents, or reflects, the views of some big man of the street. If you were to write and MT. J. Pierpont Morgan were to sign a column of Wall street matter every day and publish it on the first page of the Press it would be worth 500000 circulation to your paper The Press would be sold on the streets of Budapest it would go like wild fire in Vienna, Berlin, Paris, Madrid, Lon- don." Quite likely. I have wondered why MT. Morgan has refused hitherto to sign his name to articles inspired by him in the paper which his vast influences directs. He is genial and ambitious, If I ever start Wall street paper he's the first man shall hire

TIE PEACE JUBILEE
From the Lafayette Sun.

From the Ldldyetle sun.
 Some weeks ago The Age-Herald began an agitation for a great Southern Peace Jubilee, which has attained considerable proportions. A committee has visited the president and invited him to come, and he may do so. Some time in the latter part of October or the first of November will be fixed as the date.
 While the Sun is not the first paper in the state to say so, we are glad that Birming ham has it's back up in this matter, and hope that the jubilee will be a great suc- cess in spite of 4-cent cotton. We are glad that Birmingham thought of it before At lanta did. It's not often that Atlanta is caught mapping when there is chance to advertise, but this time Editor Barrett, or some other bright citizen of the Alabama Pittsburg, was an earlier bird than Editor Howell and his wide-awake co-laborers. Blr- mingham is tho place. Atlanta is good town, but 1t won't compare with Birming- ham a few decades hence; and we think 1t is nothing but proper that the president and whole lot of other nice people from the north should come down on this patri- otic errand, and while patriotism burns let them keep an eye open for the wonderful possibilities of the Birmingham district and the need Of that waterway to the sea-
 There will probably be many notable peo- pie there, but if the president, General Wheeler and Lieutenant Hobson come, the jubilee will be success. General Fitzhugh Lees presence should be had, too. Birmng- ham will get all she can, and the jubilee will be a go.

POINTED PARAGRAPHS,

From the Chicago News.
 No one has discovered a sure cure for laziness.
 Labors worst enemy is the workingman who won't work.
 The man who breaches revolution is the worst kind of a crank.
 The life work of a wise man may be de- stroyed by fool in a day. % "1
 The average woman has more listening than speaking acquaintances. t The man who loses money on cockfight is sure to remember the main.
 The average man lets good opportunities go by while waiting for better one. better men than high living and tow think ing.
 A man doesn't necessarily have to wait until he is 40 to become a fool or a physi- elan.
 As a rule, the more man has to say about women the more he doesn't really know about them.
 When young man is sowing his wild oats he always hopes that something will happen to destroy the crop.
 It is said that burned child dreads the fire. Probably that's why newly married man tries to avoid his old flames.

Always Does tine Right Thing

From the UniontoWn Herald.
 Birmingham may always be depended upon to do the proper thing. Her enthus- iastic reception of the boys of the First Alabama would have made every Alabam- ian love her had she not already their greatest esteem. The voice of approval arises from every hamlet of the state and in gratitude all thank Birmingham's loyal citizens for the welcome so beautifully and appropriately rendered these returned he roes, who are as worthy of honor as were their garments stained with gore. Though all could not be present at the reception their hearts were there and each felt satis- fled in the welcome that awaited the boys as it was to be in Birmingham.

IRONICAL IFS.

If you want to pick a flaw in humanity begin at home.
 If woman dresses with taste she ought to look good enough to eat.
 If poetry runs in the veins some poets should be run in by the police.
 If man makes fool of himself over a woman she is usually satisfied.
 If woman Is fair that doesn't prevent her from being unfair at times.
 If a man lacks enthusiasm 1t takes him twice as long to accomplish a task.
 If half the world worked less the other half wouldn't be worked so often.
 If man doesn't use his head in his busi< ness he Is sure to put his foot in It.
 If it wasn't for an occasional funeral lots of men would never see the inside of . church. e+,es- ss- 1sE
 If women were satisfied with natures handiwori there would be fewer toIef preparations on the market.
