OUR STREET RAILROAD SYSTEM.

A talk with the president and principal
owner of our street railroad system ap-
peared an our columns yesterday and it
was of character to create the impress
sion that an improvement in the system
is contemplated. In the course of his talk
he is reported as saying that it is to the in
terest of the railroad company to have a
first class system. 1t is to be presumed
that the company will took out for It's own
interests. Therefore we may reasonably
expect that in the very near future the
system will be greatly improved. We are
certain that the remarks of the president
of the road will make glad the hearts of
the people, because they have had many.
and strong reasons for complaint this win
ter.
The company cannot complain that the
city has not dealt literally with it. The
board of aldermen which went out of
office yesterday gave the street railroad
company bin of sale Of Price street and
monopoly, practically. of all the other
streets available for street railroad pur-
poses. If the people have yet received in
return for the city's munificence any ben
eft of special value the fact has escaped
notice. Aside from the double track on
Abercorn street there have been no I'M
provements which increase the accomrn.>-
dations Of the street car system. On the
western side of the city the service before
the consolidation was far superior to the
present service. No one rides on the west
ern side of the town now except when it
is absolutely necessary to do so.
The Sandhy Montgomery express is still
a feature of the system, but it cannot be
said with certainty that ii win continue to
be, because the mule which furnishes the
motive power is not quite as frisky as he
was few years ago. With the decline of
the line to Montgomery a section of the
county which was once the resort of quite
a large white population, is being given
up almost wholly 10 negroes, who are in
different to railroads and independent of
most other monopolies. 1t is a source of
satisfaction. therefore, that the president
of the street railroad system is here in or
der that he may see for himself that the

he will not be slow to see wherein improve
ments can be neutrality-suspicious. which
would not cost a great deal but which
would go a Dong way towards satisfying
public sentiment.
1t is reported that the street railroad is
making money. We do not know how much
truth there is in the report. but we feel
safe in saying that the surest way for

A Washington correspondent says that
during his speech the other day Repre-
sentative Cochran said, at various times:
what will we do with Oloilo?' 'FWill we
take EloeIo?' Shall We abandon Iloelo?"
Let us keep out of Olo.' 1--WE do not
want Oleoilo." "Illoello is of no good to
us" IF we take Oleoileo what shall we
do with it?'' One of the first things we
should do with il, and one of the best
things we could do, would be to change
its name to Jonesboro or Smithville.

1t was suggested some time ago tha,
all of the aldermen ought to have free
street railway passes, SO that they might
ride around and see how things are go

that some of the new aldermen will do
good deal of riding around. One thing
which they might notice. while Mr. Par

A Chicago lawyer has sued street rail
way of that city for the return of five
cents. the fare he paid on a car for the
reason that the conductor neglected to
notify him when certain street had been
reached and stop the car for him to get
off. The lawyer says his purpose
in bringing the suit is 10 es-
tablish the principle that in ac-
cepting fare the street railway COM
pany enters into a contract with the pas

tiers into a contract with the purchaser Of

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Pittsburg Dispatch (Rep) has no
fear of war between this country and
any foreign Power as a result of any
pending question. But" says the Dis
patch, the war that does threaten the
lives and health of American soldiers the
expenditure of American treasure and the
good name and honor of the American
ma ton is that which is impending to sup
press the aspira tons of the Philippines
for self-government. The soldiers re-
turned from Manila testify that they can
not conduct a campaien in that island
without wholesale death and disease. Such
a war can be averted by common sense
conciliat ton and decent respect for Ameri-
can principles. Those who are refusing
to take that course will have a heavy re-
sponsibility on their hands"

Snakes the Cats of the Philippines.

The snakes are the professional rat
catchers in the Philippine archipelago,
and every well regulated household must
have it's snakes. "Nearly all of the old
er bungalows il Manila," a correspon-
dent writes, "possess what are called
house snakes-huge reptiles, twelve or
fourteen feet long and as thick as fire.
engine hose, that permanently reside up
in the roof and live on rats. These big
creatures are harmless, and rarely, if ev-
er leave their abodes. Judging from the
noise over my cloth ceiling, pair of
these pets find pasturage up above, and
can hear them whacking around about
once week in their chase after rats.
"They are good though noisy rat
catchers but since they must needs eat
all they catch, their efficiency seems to
be limited to their length of stomach.
The only way to get rid OF the rats
seems to be to buy more snakes, and this
is simple enough, for you often see the
natives hawking them around in town,
the boas curled up around bamboo poles
to which their Leads are tied" ."-Public

Just Be Glad.
Oh, heart of mine, we shouldn't


Oh, heart of mine, we shouldn't
Worry SO!
What we've missed of calm we could
Not have, you know
What We've met of stormy pain,
And of sorrows driving ram,
We can better meet again,
If it blOw
We have erred in that dark hour
We have known,
When the tears fell with shower,
All alone:-
Were not shine and shower blent,
AS the Gracious Master meant?
Let us temper our content
With His own.
For, we know, not every morrow
Can be sad;
So, forgetting all the sorrow
We have had,
Let us fold away our fears,
And put by our foolish tears,
And, through all the coming years,
Just he glad.

The Life of a Horse.


Down in Nevada they are trying to
determine how long a horse can live
without food. A horse belonging to a
man named Letton was by mistake left
IN box stall in the fair grounds four
weeks and lived. This was considered
the limit, until last week Dr.. Worth
came in with the following story: "In
1868 I vas living on the St. Clair and
Hickory county line. On July % of
that year horse I had staked out with
lariat rope got away. He went into
the woods, and the rope fastened him to
d hickory grub, he remained with only
eight feet to play upon until Aug. 81,
Just five weeks and one day, with moth
ing to eat except what hickory limbs he
could reach, and no water except what
rained in a hole which the horse had
paved in the ground.

The Old Hymns.

There's lots O music in 'em, the hymns
of long ago,
An when some gray-haired brother sings
the ones used to know
sorter want to take hand-1 think o
days gone by,
ssOn Jordan's stormy banks I stand and
cast wistful eye"
There's lot o. music in 'em-those dear,
sweet hymns of old,
With visions bright of lands of light, and
shining streets of gold;
And hear 'em ringing-singing, where
mem'sy, dreaming, stands,
"From Greenland's icy mountains to In
dia's coral strands
They seem to sing forever of holier,
sweeter days,
When the lilies Of the love of God
bloomed white in all the ways;
And 1 want to hear their Music from the
old time meetin's rise
Till ~ can read my title clear to man

We never needed singin' books in them
old days. we knew
The word-the tunes of every one the
dear old hymn book through!
We didn't have no trumpets then-no
organs built for show;
We only sang to praise the Lord "from
whom all blessings iow."
An so l love the old hymns, and when
my time shall come
Before the light has left me, and my sing

If I can only hear 'em then, I'll pass

The Art of Living Long.

V:veurs as rule prefer to live we'll
rather than long Hence the well-known
phrase short and sweet. If one may
Judge by the zeal with which the news
papers give accounts of the few cente-
narians who here and there drag out a
precarious existence, it would seem as if
the doctor who could permit US to reach
such an advanced age would deserve the
benediction of his contemporaries.
Sir James Sawyer, in recent lecture
at Birmingham, England, has tried to
satisfy this desire. The following is, &C.
cording to him, what2one must do to live
hundred years:
1. Sleep eight hours a day.
2. Sleep on the right side.
,, 3. Open the windows of ones bed.
room at night.
4. Put screen in front of the door.
). Place ones bed away from the wall.
6. Take bath the temperature of the
body every morning; not cold douche
7 Take exercise before breakfast. <
8. Eat little meat and make sure it is
thoroughly cooked.
8. (For adults.) Do not drink milk.
10. Eat much grain in order to nour.
ish the cells which destroy the germs OF
disease.
II. Avoid intoxlcants, which destroy
these cells.
IL. Take daily exercise in the open
air.
13. Keep no animals nliving rooms
IA. Live as much as possible in the
country.
IS. Drink water, avoid humidity and
the neighborhood of sewerage pipes.
1e. Vary ones occupations.
II. Take from time to time shor,
holiday.
IS. Limit ones ambitions.
16. Restrain ones natural character
All a person leeds to do now-a-days
to get himself mentioned as desirable
candidate for the presidency Is to lead a
charge-from a safe place in the rear
against the Spanish or the natives OF
some of the late Spanish possessions.
First il was Dewey; later on Schley was
the head candidate; Wheeler Roosevelt
and Shafter had their day and now it is
Otis.
