GaIveston's Water Supply.

Formally Galveston's only water supply foundations On account of the nearness of water to the surface such tanks or cis- terms could not be placed in the ground, but were, rule, elevated above contam- ination. Some of these cisterns were in use when the great storm came, but all or nearly all, were swept away by it. These cisterns were fed from the roofs whenever rain fell.
 But of late most of the cisterns had been abandoned, and the new water supply from Alta I.oma, twenty miles away on the mainland, had come into use The pipes under the bay ire of course safe and sound, but the plant In the city was dam aged. How soon this plant can be restor- ed is not known Until it is restored sani tation will be very imperfect, and much suffering must ensue. At present the citi- zens are dependent upon supplies brought by steamers. while they are setting up cypress cisterns and waiting for rains. Work upon the water works plant is pro- gressing, and there are hopes that a SUD- ply of water from that source will soon be available. Water and lights and tenn parary railroad bridges may be said to be GalVeston's greatest needs at present, be- yond food and clothlns

IMPROVING THE CAPITOL

From the Huntsville Mercury.
 Dispatches from Montgomery tell of inn provements now being made in the execu- tive offices of the Statehouse. New paper, new carpets and new furniture will be added, and by the time Colonel Sanford is inaugurated the offices will look better than for d long time before.
 The next Legislature should provide an executive mansion for the Governor of Ala bama. It is downright shameful for a State having such splendid resources to compel its Governor to either board at a second-class hotel, or rent just such a home as may be had at the time; yet the Governor of Alabama must undergo just such humiliation.
 The taxpayers will not miss the amount it will cost to build home for the Gov eInor, and every citizen in the State will enjoy the thought that Alabama proposes to treat her Governor decently in this mat ter.

Newspapers and the Gospel.

The Birmingham Age-Herald Is wasting from a half column to a column of space day in complaining about things in Mont gomery. It would be doing itself Birmng- ham, and humanity much better service by devoting that space to the laudable pur- pose of raising a fund for the Galveston sufferers. That is what all the broad-gauge, unselfish, enterprlsing dailies are doing all over the country.-From the Montgomery Advertiser, September 15. Take heed that ye do not your aims be- fore men, to be seen of them; otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven.
 Therefore when thou doest thine aims do l not sound trumpet before thee. as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verify I say unto you, They have their reward
 But when thou doest aims let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth:
 That thine aims may be in secret; and thy Father which seeth In secret himself shall | reward thee openly.
 | And when thou prayest thou shalt not
 be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the syragogues and In the corners of the streets that they may be seen of men. Verify say unto you, They | have their reward.-From the Gospel Ac- cording to Saint Matthew. Chapter 6, verses l, ?, 3, and 5.
 The newspaper writer, so-called, who writes the Hotel Lobby stuff. so-called for the Daily Age-Herald, so-called. should f@1r t1,sx | otherwise his so-called brain will bulge his ears out of line.-From the Montgomery Ad- | vertiser, September 15.
 But I say unto you, That whosoever Is | angry with his brother without a just cause shall be In danger of the judgment; and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be In danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.
 Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee;
 Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way: first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift From the Gospel According to Saint Mat them, Chapter 5, verses 22, g, 24.
 He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
 But whereunto shall I liken this genera ton? It is like unto children sitting in the markets, and calling unto their fellows,
 And saying. We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced we have mourned unto you and ye have not lamented.-From the Gospel According to Saint Matthews, Chap ter Il, verses 15, 16 r.

Re0pening the Rand.

Not the resignation and flight of Mir Kruger nor the illness of General Botha, nor the proclamations of Lord Roberts none of these events mark the termination Of the Boer war, as will declaration that operations in the Rand may be resumed. When notice is given that all who desire to return to the greatest gold district in the world, may do so, then all may know the war is ended, and that all organized armed opposition is at an end.
 When the production of gold Is resumed. as it soon will be, all the world will feel the effects of the change This step has already been discounted in the chief money centers; but when operation is fully re- sumed all values will be affected. Trade will be expanded, and prosperity will be- come widespread with the resumption of normal conditions
 Some of the mines are full of water but ninety days at the outside will suffice to put all of them in full operation after General Roberts gives the word. Some of the mines will be engaged in crushing ore in a weeks time after permission to begin work is given. The development afterwards will be rapid. and shipments will rise to great figures very rapidly. For the policy of the new government will be liberal. New mines will be opened, and Johannes burg will soon be the chief city in all Africa
 The native people are numerous, and they were not materially affected by the war. They furnished the labor at the mines, and the supply Is abundant. There are no reasons for doubting both an early resumption of mining, and a rapid devel- opment of the gigantic industry This means in time an impulse to trade, and renewal of activity in many lines in nearly all countries

Small Vote in November.

In the last national election 13, ,922, SIS votes were cast, or 1,S74,027 more than were cast in 1892 Such a gain was extraordinary, and has never been explained to any one's sat- isfactlon. Such a gain In votes means Q growth of about ten million souls in four years, and all know that the people of this country are not increasing at such rate.
 A similar expansion of the vote In Mo- vember would call for q total of over 15.- 50O.90O vates. But no such vote will be boiled. There are many political experts who think the vote in November will fall as low as 12,0COOOO. and no one thinks 1t will exceed that of lS96
 The Indifference in both parties points to light vote. Both candidates have been before the people, and neither exeites new interest. It is the old interest at ebb tide. and this applies to one candidate as well ns to the other. MT. Hannas peculiar methods no longer excite the country, and the issues arc not considered altogether vital by either side. although the spellblnders of each claim they are. They are not, how ever; at least the rank and file in either party do not so consider them, and .a light vote Is altogether probable.

PAYS ss.ooo FOR OCEAN FARES

London Cable to the Baltimore Sun.
 Andrew Carnegie has engaged passage on the Deutschland, sailing from Southamp. ton October 2S, so that he will land in America at the end of the last week of the political campaign.
 He has paid for the passage of his party, seventeen in all, including the servants, SS,000, which is believed to be the greatest amount ever paid for a family party's trip on an Atlantic liner. But the steelmaker can easily afford, with an income of a mill lion dollars month, to pay $S,0O0 for a trip across the Atlantic.
 The Deutschlands first cabin passenger list on her next voyage to America brings more than $2OO,OO0. An American, with his wife, sister and three servants, is paying $2,660 for their passage. Another American is paying $1,250 for himself and wife. So great is the demand for cabins on the new German record breaker that all the off cers' rooms are booked.

LOOM PAUL" IN FLIGHT

tTOm the washington Star.
 England has naturally been anxious to capture Paul Kruger Her armies have worked strenuously toward this end as well as to stop the Boer fighters. But Kruger in real danger He carefully kept way of escape open, and when the British armies approached too close to Pretoria for entire safety he slipped out of town on a railway train which for some months constituted the Boer capital. His generals held the line to the coast open for him and his final departure for Lorenzo Marques shows that his plans have, in this respect at least, been successfully executed. The announcement is now made, unofficially of course, that he will take ship at the Por- tuguese port for Europe, having been granted six months leave of absence by the 'Transvaal Government"
 It may be surmised that England will make a further effort to capture Kruger He is now on neutral soil, and will, of neutral territory in Europe He cannot well be reached, especially if the com mander of the vessel on which he sails is inclined to invoke his flag as protection for the distinguished passenger. So it is to be expected that Engand's endeavor will not avail, and that loom PauP will soon appear on the continent, to recuperate in health and probably to sound the depth of European sympathy for his cause.

oplT DAILY NEWSPAPER IN AlAsAsA
lack Up the Town.

Now that Galveston is beginning to tidy of wreekage, telegraph wires and other debris caused by the storm, the question comes up. what is she going to do to put a stop to this sort of thing. Something doses of such calamities, and unless the possibility of such recurrence is put for ever out of the question, the city's future outlook Is gloomy indeed. Temporary re- pairs and patchings will be of no avail It is money thrown away-.better no re- pairs at all. If the city is to have any futurc the solution of this question must be found now. and the means adopted must be permanent.
 The chief loss of life in Galveston was from water. Cyclones can ve rendered harmless by buildings of sufficient strength to withstand them There is no problem in this. They can be built, and are being built every day
 What can the city do to keep out the water? Dykes can be built, but these are liable to break or be washed away. There is another way. and that is to raise the entire city ten or twenty feet. A five-story business block can be raised now as easily as a one story shanty in former years. The process only requires a sufficient number Of jack screws. Buildings can be raised without cracking the plaster. The streets can then be arched over, leaving the present levels for subways and sewers and Galveston will then be above high water mark, and beyound the reach of the oceans storms. This can be done gradually by the city. If the streets are raised fifteen or twenty feet the first story of the buildings could be used as the ground floor. if the owners could not af- ford to raise the buildings.
 This seems the only permanent solution. Let everybody get to work and jack up the town.

TWO PRESIDENTS A YEAR

from the Phll2delphla Record.
 The smallest and oldest Republic of the world, San Marine, 8 little country of thirty-two square miles, lying in the Ap- ennines, has two Presidents, each of whom exercises power for six months The mode of electing these officers is extremely curi- ous. Every six months the members of the Chamber of Deputies, which is the popular House of the Legislature, nominate six of their own number; three ballots are then given to every voter, each with the names of two of these six. The polling place is the Cathedral of San Marine, the capital of the country. The ballot box is placed on the high altar, and after the bal lots have been placed in the box a child draws one at random. A priest then an- nounces the name on the ballot, and the person thus named becomes the President of the Republic.
