 interstate taxes have been abolish ed, for Mexico had long suffered from them very much as China does today in her hiking taxes. They checked trade and prevented t-e development of the country. Fortunately they have been abolished. The great basin in which the capital is located has been drained at a cost of $20,000,000 and the government has appropriated $15,- 100000 toward port improvements and the Tehnantepec railway. The rise of the Spanish-Indian republic is really as great wonder as the rapid changes in Japan has been, but they have not attracted equal atten- ton throughout the world.

Marruuuin and the CiericaIs.

The South American war seems now to be chiefly confined to the United Scates of Colombia, where Dictator Marroquin has formidable revolution on his hands. Marroquin is bacKe, by the conservatives or clericals, including 5000, more or less, of priests and friars expelled from the Philippines. These priests and friars are Spaniards, but instead of going to Spain they went to the only South American country that the liberals do not control.
 The sympathies of the liberals in Venezuela ana Ecquador are with the revolutionists in Colombia, but it does not clearly appear that any efforts have been made that go beyond sym pathy, although come aid has no doubt come to the forces led by Gen. eral Uribe. tribe from the neighbor- ing republics.
 The revolution in Colombia will not be speedily settled, but it no longer threatens the Panama railroad, and this country and no other has any reason for becoming a participant in it. The Colombians should be left to settle their own troubles, and so for that matter should the ethreerepublics Marroquin's overthrow would lead to another dispersion of the friars from the Philippines, for the feeling against them is bitter in revolution ary circles.

Through New England SpectacIes

With characteristic thoroughness, accuracy and comprehensivenes the Springfield Republican reviews the Alabama suffrage plan. At the out set it says:
 The suffrage plan which was finally adopted by the convention Is almost a marvel of tortuous ingenuity Something of that nature was to be expected in view of the objects the convention had in view. which were to disfranchise the bulk of the negroes. while permitting all white men. literate and illiterate, to retain the right to vote, and. at the same time, frame a suffrage scheme not in violation of the constitution of the United States. It were as If a constitutional convention in Massachusetts were to attempt to dis franchise all men whose names began with letters running from A to K, with out violating the supreme law of the land. The success of the Alabamans in this enterprise. in which other southern states are joined will finally be deter mined by the federal Supreme Cour., whose verdict ought not to be doubtful. It seems to take long time, however. for cases testing these laws to reach that tribunal The Louisiana grandfather clause has been in operation about three years. yet its validity has not been brought in question thus far before our highest court. The Alabama plan, there- fore. seems likely to be in full operation long before its legality will be tested. and, as 1t is a very curious piece of join cry, it might as well be exhibited to our readers now as at any time.
 Ihe Republican proceeds to review the temporary plan, finding in il much room for dispraise and none for praise, but it admits the permanent plan is proof against criticism. Il holds that in the course of time the negro will become factor in Ala bama.

Prosperous Mexico.

Mexicos population increased TAB per cent in the last five years, bring ing her aggregate up to 13,570,545. Canada on the other hand grew but ST per cent in ten years, her popula- ton being 5,300,000 Our Latin neigh bors to the soutA of us are growing and prospering faster than our Anglo Saxon neighbors to the north of us. To tell the whole truth, 1t Is not strictly matter of race or blood, for the Latin element in Mexico is incon- siderable, and the most prolific in the Dominion is almost wholly Latin.
 President Diaz told in his last inau- gural the story of Mexico in single sentence, when he said: Those na- uons that deserve to be called happy in the only ineligible sense of the word, far from being without a his tory, have very gorious and inter- esting one if besides being peaceful and laborious they are also progress sive." Th.s is the story under Pres ident Dias, who has served twenty five years. Instead of wars and revo. lutions peace and security of life and property have Deen fully established. Railroads and telegraph lines are better than anarchy and swashbuck- ing. Good finances have succeeded a treasury chemically empty. The country is, in a word well governed.
 Nor is this all. It is progressive on the best lines-on lines that look to continuous development. Schools have been opened in every part of

Attendance at Buffalo.

Not enough are put off at Buffalo to satisfy the managers of the Pan-Amer. ican exposton There is no lack of advertising in the management; it is confessedly excellent, and yet the at- tendance is disappointing. Even re- duced rates on sunday do not induce the people to get off at Buffalo. The average daily attendance is now about 10000 on week days. Heretofore it has been below 50,O00. Unless the daily attehlance becomes fully 100,- 900 day in us and the next month, large dencit will occur.
 Much is expected in the way of at. tendance in October. delightful month at 6uffalo. At Chicago's worlds fair the average attendance in October was 2S0,000, rising on one day to 716,6,.

WHERE ARE WE AT?
the Montgomery Journal.

From the Montgomery Journal
 Just word right here before we go another inch further. The Palmer and Buckner papers tell us that the platform of the Chicago national Democratic con- vention. or the Kansas City national plat form Is not binding upon the party. If this argument is correct, If the past utterance of the party is not binding upon the party the last declaration of its principles is of no force and effect, can any future utter ance be binding? If one declaration of the party in convention assembled should not be binding upon the party. why should another be binding? If one faction of the party can declare at will that it feels under no obligations to stand by the party or It's platform at one time, why should not the other faction have the same priv ilege to repudiate the nominees and the platform at another time? If one faction of the party can declare a platform a nulity today, cannot the other do so tomorrow If the logic of the gold bug press is good, we can have no organlsa- tion and no party. Of course the gold crowd have all the sense and wisdom Of the party. There is no issue on that point There can be no questioning their wis dom. They have told us so, and what they so say Is of course true But the Journal and It's kind of Democrats would like to Know if the platforms of 1896 and 1900 are not binding upon Democrats, can the plat form of 1904. which we are now assured will be framed by the bolters. be any the more binding because framed by bolters.
 We merely rise to question of inquiry We don't want to disturb anybody's dreams of triumph in 1904, but we mere ly wish to know where we are at.

impossible. No vessel could survive them. Even whales have been caught and whirled around until they were dead. Be- tween times these channels look innocent enough Even small boats can pass safely through them at the proper time each day, and the departure of the mail boats is regulated accordingly, but they have caused the loss of many lives. Boats have actuallly disappeared, being sucked into the vortex and carried to the bot tom to whirl and whirl and whirl until the waters are tired and flow away, car ryins the wrecks and the bodies of the dead with them on the undercurrent to emerge miles and miles distant.
 It Is not strange that the ignorant and superstitious sailors of the middle ages attributed this mighty and mysterious ac- ton of the waters to supernatural power, and their imaginative minds, always ere atine monsters and miracles out of nat ural phenomena which they cannot un- derstand. placed in them an octopus whose awful arms were always extended to grasp unwary mariners who were so unfortunate as to come within its reach Later and more intelligent writers repre- sented the naelstrom as vast cauioron, in which the waters revolve with terrhlc speed, their centrifugal force extending long distance and gradually drawing to- ward the center all who venture within their power The mariners struggle and shfiek In vain. The monster Is inexorable, and when the crisis comes the vessel springs out of the water and then shoots suddenly down into the vortex. while the shrieks of terror and despair are drowned in the rushing of the hungry torrent and the bowling of the winds.
 The straits are very dangerous and all vessels are warned to keep out of them. The notes upon the chart issued by the Norwegian Photographic office say that when the wind is steady at flood and ebb tide each day the whirlpool is still for half an hour or more, when boats may then pass through; but halfway between flood and ebb tide the passage becomes dangerous, although 1t can be used by steamers and large vessels when there is no wind for several hours day. Toward the height of the tide or when a gale Is blowing the water revolves with a speed of twenty-six miles an hour in mighty whirlpools, in which the largest steamers would be helpless"

Speaking of the removal of Hon. John B. weak1ey, Mayor of Florence, to Birm- ingham, notice of which appepared in this place yesterday, Mir. S. D. Weakley said;
 'T have strongly advised and urged my brother to come to Birmingham, as 0 place which affords larger field than Florence for the exercise of his business qualities and legal attainments, and he has decided to do so at the end of his present term as Mayor of Florence, in December next.
 While the details of his business con- nection here have not been perfected. he will probably be associated in legal prac- tice with our younger brother, Turner R. weakley. He does not expect or desire his coming to alter the business relations so long existing between MT. E. H. Ca- baniss and myself and the firm of Ca- baniss & Weakley, now In the twelfth year. will continue as in the past"

Writing from North Cape. Norway, the northernmost point of Europe and known as the tip end of the world, Wm. E. Cur tis says in the Record-Herald:
 now approach a delicate topic. The principal object of visiting the North Cape is to see the midnight sun, and the itine- raries of the steamers are timed so that they will arrive there about 10 o'clock in the evening and give the passengers time enough to climb to the top and express their emotions by such demonstrations as they consider appropriate before mid night. Then they are free to observe the great phenomenon. But the great ma- Jor1ty of tourists are disappointed in this respect, because the sun is seldom seen from the North Cape after 1 o'clock in the afternoon. Of course, people who have travelled all that distance and have made that long and tedious climb cannot be ex- pected to express their failure and disap- pointment In fact have never met any, body who was gone to the North Cane without seeing the midnight sun. General aDsoiution is granted to tourists to lie about 1t to other travellers and to the folk at home, but the captain admitted to me that they only saw 1t twice last year and that when they Saw 1t four times in A season it was considered remarkable triumph.
 we sailed through the famous maeI- strom which the ancients believed guards the entrance to the sublimest beauty of the fjords of the Lofoden Islands. and has furnished so much material for the imagination of the authors of Norwegian legendary and modern novelists. It Is q reality-not one, but several maelstroms actually exist, and any of them will answer the descriptions given by Victor Hugo, Jules Verne, Edgar A. Poe and writers of lesser fame. The chief and most dangerous Is an extraordinary whirlpool between the islands of Moskene and Roest, near the southern extremity of Lofoden archipelago. It Is called Mosk- naes-Strommen. Another by the Island of vaero called the Saelstrom, is almost as dangerous. There are many narrow chan nels between the mountains where great volumes of water, coming from opposite directions, meet as the tide flows in and out. They form temporary whirlpools twice day, and during the spring tides, or when the natural currents are acceler- ated by heavy western gales, passage Is
