The Selma-Akron Train.

Some persons have asked why the
committee of the Board of Trade appoint
ed to urge the Alabama Great Southern
Railroad Company to extend the run from
Tuscaloosa to Birmingham did not ask
also for a schedule that would bring the
train here In the mornig instead of at
night" said a member of the committee.
THAT matter of schedule hao been duly
considered by our merchants and by the
people along the route who will use the
train and 1t was decided that the schedule
now In effect would be most desirable for
extension TO this city. The Alabama Great
Southern Company will grant our petition
and this Selma local will arrive here
about 1890 D. m. and leave at about 6
a. m. If the train were to leave Selma
In the morning =. would not reach here
until nearly noon and in returning 1t
would leave Birmingham early In the
afternoon. 1t would give the people along
the line too short time here to transact
their business, provided they wished to
go back the day they came. whereas with
the old schedule extended the people who
use the trains will have full day and
two night here"

Mr.. ThOmnson's Idea.

Representative Thompson's example
has proven contagious, and the Secre-
tary of the Treasury has caught the
fever. He proposes to personally con-
duct a carload or two of men to Iowa,
his own State, where he will show
them around all the horns he can find.
He will explain the resources and pos
sibilities of Iowa, and he will inferen-
TALLY ask them to boom his State.
Beyond reasonable doubt Congress
man Thompson has developed fine
and yet very practical idea. The
country is so broad and long that
something of the sort is needed in
order to induce even the more intelli-
gent and opulent to see all parts of
1t. Even MIR. Littlefield, Presidential
aspirant, had not visited Alabama I'M
til he came here with Mr.. Thompson,
and none of the rest, except Mr.. Shaw,
had seen a cotton patch. Mr. Shaw
does not hesitate to say that the
Thompson idea will result in great
advantage to the entire country.
The more the different sections of
the country see of each other, the
more prosperity and the less prejudice
will there be, and the era of peace,
trade and development will then be
fully inaugurated We can best in
augurate 1t by disarming all sectional
views, all unfounded opinions, all one
sided notions. When we know the
other side of question, we see that
there is room for honest differences.
All those in the Thompson party open
ly and frankly acknowledge that they
had been misled in many respects, and
they are glad that they had an oppor-
tunity to see the Southern situation
on the spot as it actually is.

other ports, and to let the little brown
people in the interior do as they
please, especially where the friars
could not control them. Spain did not
try to conquer the islands. She never
did control them, but she held the
chief ports. and she kept there about
5000 soldiers all told.
This seems to be the better policy
on the part of this country. But this
plan would not suit the syndicates
that propose to exploit the islands. 1t
would not suit tho seekers of place
in the Republican party, and so the
war of subjugation goes on, although
1t promises to cost a billion of dollars,
not to mention an immense pension
list that will follow as an incident of
a deadly climate.
The Spanish plan would give us all
the foothold We need in the Orient
1t would enable us to control the trade
of the islands. 1t would give us all
the coaling stations we could use. 1t
would meet all difficulties, and a few
ships and a few soldiers could do the
work. But there would be little op-
portunity for the Holsters and place
hunters, and so the imperialistic plan
goes on After a while perhaps the
people of this country will begin to
ask, Is the whole archipelago worth
the powder that is required to con-
quer and assimilate it? Assuredly
not.

NEGROES DYING ouTiN CUBA.

From the Philadelphia Medical Journal
The negro question seems to be In
fair way to settle itself in Cuba without
recourse to aid of philantropic societies
or governmental regulations. Major
Gorgas tells us In his report on the vital
statistics of the cities of Havana and
Guanabacoa that during the month of
January in those cities the native whites
showed an excess of 1888 births over
deaths, that is. the figures were 457 and
269, whereas the native negroes showed
an excess of So deaths over births; that
is to say the figures were 12S and 70. The
figures for the year 1901 are even more
significant. During the twelve months
the native whites lost 513, making a total
gain for the natives of 1927 inhabitants.
The deaths of foreigners brought the diff
ference down to exactly one, although
it must be RENE mbered that the number
of foreigners dying indicates that the
city is gaining rapidly In population by
immigration. II this keeps up for a rea-
sonabie length of time there will soon
be no negroes left IN Cuba, and this not
withstanding the fact that the difficulty
of obtaining marriage licenses does not
appear to have any deterrent effect upon
the increase Of the negro population, be-
cause of all births among negroes fifty
seven were illegitimate and only thirteen
were legitimate

the ONLY DAIlY NEWSPAPER IN ALABAMA
Conoress Should Decide

II should not be forgotten that the
choice of an isthmian canal route Is
largely a strife between the Eastern
ports and the rest of the country-be-
tween New York and Boston and per.
haps Baltimore on the one side and
the rest of the Atlantic ports on the
other side. Not that New York and
Boston would be well served in Mic
araguan canal, for they would be, but
the Eastern ports are both Jealous
and hoggish. They are not willing to
see the other ports of the country ad-
vantaged in any way. They want all
the advantages themselves. Because
the Southern ports would be nearer a
Nicaragua canal they prefer a canal
farther away Advantages are all
right If they are In their favor, but
they are all wrong If they lean to-
wards other ports.
It Is not a sectional question, but a
port question, and league has been
formed which includes the interna-
tional railroads and the Eastern ports
to fight the Nicaragua route. The
basis of this league is self1shness of
lie most extreme sort. The interna-
tional railroads want no water compe-
tition, and the Eastern ports want no
Southern rivals.
Congress should for the common
good select the route. President Roose-
welt is an honest man, but he is an
Eastern man, and the representatives
of all sections of the country should
not put upon him task he does not
covet. Congress alone should selec
the route, because 1t alone speaks 70
all sections of broad country. TIL,
question is a national one of grea
breadth, and to unload it upon ono
man would be both unjust to him and
disappointing to the country. Let
Congress decide.
