MARTINIQUE's FUTURE.
The Reasons Why Speedy Recuperation
is Expected in France.

Paris Correspondence London Standard
The Temps discusses the future of the
Island of Martinique. It's evaeua ton Is
spoken of, and it examines the question
whether the island is ruined and its future
irremediably compromised ONLY a tenth
of the island has been devastated IF tbe
town of st. Pierre was not included in the
destroyed portion the damage would be
merely material and of little importance
Unfortunately, thousands of human lives
have been lost and the moral disaster is
without remedy. The material losses, St
Pierre included, the Temps estimates as a
hundred millions Of francs. A part of this
sum can, this semi-official organ thinks
be recuperated by the subscriptions raised.
by the relief which parliament will GER
talnly vote and by subsidies which the
metropolitan government could annually
accord the colony. Thanks to this momen-
tary heip' the effects of the disaster may
De diminished, and the Temps believes that
before long the situation NAV be regarded
as reparable, especially as the economic re-
sources of the island have not been touched
sugar growing and refining constituted
at least 50 per cent of the exports of Mar
Unique. and so per cent of the nlantations
ana factories are intact The cocoa plan
tatlons in the north of the island have
certainly disappeared, but the majority of
the coHee plantations are uninjured
Ihough considerable quantities of Marti-
n1que coffee are placed on the market. this
Journal says that much Of 1t came from
guatemala, the vessels conveying it to
europe merely touching a port of Mar
UNIQUE In order to obtain certificate of
origin. The chief elements of prosperity
IN an agricultural island like Martinique
says the Temps, are a good harbor and
soma eiements or credit. The natural har-
Dor OF st. Pierre has, perhaps, become i'm
practicable, but that of Fort de France,
Whlch o1ered much greater facilities, re-
mains. AS to the banks the Temps SAYS
the situation of the Bank of Martinique
is excellent. Exchange is at par, and the
bank Will come out Of the disaster without
loss, the profits derived from burned bank
notes oelng suf1cient to compensate it.
AFTER such catastrophe the Temps con-
Guides that the economic situation Of the
island Is as satisfactory as can be eX-
pected. It's future in no way appears men
aced, and the idea Of abandoning the col
ony, says this semi official organ, should
be theoretically denounced
The national committee for the relief of
the sufferers by the Martinique catastrophe
mas received subscriptions amounting to
total OF 2,043,Ol2 francs. In addition to the
unlimited credit it has opened to the colon
1al department for the purchase Of provi-
sions the committee has sent 10000 francs
to Fort de France $1,000 francs to Guade-
loupe. 10000 francs to Guiana and 10000
francs to Trinidad, to be distributed among
the inhabitants of Martinique or refugees

A RAILROAD EPOCH.
American Construction Passes the
200, OOO-Mile Mark.

From the ST. Louis Globe Democrat.
The beginning of the second half of 1907
sees the railroads of the United States cross
the 20o,OO0-mile line. Construction during
the past six months was not especially &C
tive though it was larger than last year s
corresponding time, but the total which had
been reached by the end Of 1901 was so
near the 2OOOO0-mile mark that that line
was certain to be passed long before 1902
neared It's close. 1t is only by comparing
this mileage with that of some of the rest
Of the great countries that the American
people can fully realize the tremendous de-
velopment which has taken place in this
field in their own land. Figures of railroad
activities for the world at large are not
very trustworthy. but taking those which
are most recent and reliable, the United
States Is seen to be far ahead of any other
country. Germany has about $4,000 miles
Of main track; Russia. 5000; France, d.
600; Austria-Hungary, 23,oO0; Great Britain
and Ireland, $1,000, while no other Euro
pean country has as many as 10000 miles
All of Europe has about $4,000 miles Of
road, or considerably less than the United
States while the entire worlds mileage is
approximately 10000, of which the United
States furnishes two-f1fths.
All this railroad construction has come in
about two generations of time. When John
Stevens. in 1922. got charter from the
Pennsylvania legislature to build railroad
from Philadelphia to Columbia on the Sus-
quehanna (Which was never built, some
body asked one of the Pennsylvania papers
What is a railroad. anyhow The editor
gave 1t up, but said that perhaps some
other correspondent can tell 1t Is only
seventy-four years on the Fourth of July
since work was started on the construction
Of the first of Americas great roads; it is
only fifty-one years since the waters of the
west at Lake Erie were first reached by
through rail from the Atlantic coast, and as
recently as Appomattox there were only
$1,000 miles of main track in the whole
country, as compared with 100000 miles

Chlorofcrm and Gasiieht.

From the Philadelphia Medical JOfrnaI
In general the profession in this country
Is united in the belief that ether is much
most satisfactory anaesthetic than chloro-
form. A not inconsiderable number. how
ever. prefer chlorcform. particularly under
especial circumstances, and some opera
tors who have no well-equipped clinics at
their command tend to use chlorOform when
working by artificial light, and particularly
In II-e4uiPped houses. Ii is however,
known ny most pharmacu.ogists and BY
many others that chloroform has dangers
when used by artificial light. but this fact
is by no means generally recognized Per
sons have been killed by the accommodation
of chiOrOfOrm by gaslight. Ii has been
attempted 10 overcome the danger of the
production OF this form of poisoning by
placing soda or borax solution or milk of
lime in the operating room, but these
methods have been shown 10 be wholly in
sufficient.

In our work we get further and further
away from the earliest types Of civilization,
but in our play We come at times very near
to prehistoric life. Our picnics are an at

our games and races are symbol of the
fierce struggle for existence which was a
very real literal conflict in those far-off

Australians Blackberry Pest.
From the Garden.

Blackberries thrive more luxuriantly in
Australia than in Europe or America, their
growth being SO rapid that in many places
they are regarded as an agricultural pest.
Like the first rabbits, the original black
berry vines have grown and multiplied until
they bid fair to cover the face of the coun-
try. The bushes are not cultivated-they
can look after themselves, as many Aus
tralian agriculturists are painfully aware
but the jam made from their fruit is suffi-
GENTLY tempting to make one forget their
unwelcome presence on the farm.

Chairman GrIqqs' Platform.

Congressman Griggs of Georgia has been elected chairman of the Demo cratic Congressional Committee. He was once a newspaper man, but he left newspaper work to become a lawyer, and as natural sequence, a Congressman. He is now serving a third term in Congress, and the honor just conferred upon him will no doubt be appreciated in South Georgia, where he lives.
 When MT. Griggs accepted the place he defined his platform, namely, har- mony and hard work. He knows he has much work to do, for the opposi- tion is rich and powerful and full of strategem. But MT. Griggs has put the past behind him, and his face is turned towards the morning. He well comes all to the Democratic party. He asks them to come in and to help drive from power the Republicans who nave made a mess of things"
 The Republicans know they have still harder task in retaining their majority of Al, and they are proceed ing cautiously. They have not yet organized a Congressional committee, and they are waiting until the beet sugar split and other divisions disap- pear. They fear disaster next fall, for disaster next fall will be a handl- cap in 1904, to which all are now look ing with anxiety and with a feeling that nothing in this world is certain and secure.

Full Authority Is Given.

The Montgomery correspondent Of the Age-Herald pulls out of the past the timely Tompkins resolutions, which were adopted by the state con vention of 1892, and which have stood unrepealed since that time, seing each year resorted to as the basis of party action. They are as much alive tooay as they were when they were adopted. They were passed, not as the part of platform which applies l to current events, but as party law which stands until repealed. The ! Tompkins resolutions are therefore party law. All State committees since 1872 have recognized them and some have acted by and in acordance with them.
 Among the provisions of these reso- lutions is found ample authority to the State Executive Committee in the matter of primaries. It has power and authority to provide rules for pri- maries that will insure a fair and full expression of the will of every Democrat and give to each one his due and proper influence in the cleo tion of delegates and candidates"
 Here is the entire case in a nutshell. Tie State committee is authorized to do this for the purpose of preserving the integrity of the party organiza- tion." That is just what a Democratic State primary would do. It would heal all wounds, consolidate the party, and render division practically i'm possible. The Tompkins resolutions cover the entire ground, for they call for simultaneous State and Congress- l ional primaries. There is no need to go outside of the Tompkins resolu- tions. They are all-sufficient, and every member of the State Committee should carry a copy of them. in his 1 confidential pocket.

WHAT CONVENTIONS ARE.

From the Greenville Advocate.
 Whether the committee of the Demo- cratic party in this state shall order a primary for nominating state officials this year or pursue the old time convention plan appears to be engaging the attention of the people just now. And this Is a most momentous question. too; and is one which should have the serious attention of all thinking men In the party. The negro has now been practically eliminat- ed from politics in Alabama and if there ever was cause for an unfair ballot the time has ceased and now there is no good reason why we should not hold, a primary and have a fair election. The great body of the white people certainly lie matters and fair chance to express their choice among candidate It is fact known of all men that party con- ventions have gotten to be place where in self-constituted leaders trade them selves into office, and the wishes of the people in the selection of candidates are entirely ignored We believe that the primary properly conducted and held un- der the law will give to the people the selves in selecting the partys candidates and we believe 1t will give the most gen eral satisfaction.

MT. Carnegie.

MT. Andrew Carnegie has long taken an interest in good music and he is said to be one of the best critics in New York; remarked a Birmingham musi clan.
 'On next Friday MT. Carnegie is to de- liver an address before the Philharmonic Society. and it will doubtless be stimulat- ing and eloquent. The famous millionaire is a man of culture, and his love and pat ronage of music should make an impress sion on the business world.
 'In the old days business men in this country had an idea that the fellow who had any connection with music was not likely to be successful In commercial life Carnegie has been quite a success, and he cannot recall the day when he would miss an orchestral concert or any other artistic performance if he were in walk ing or riding distance. By the way MT.

ATTACKED TELEPHONE GIRL.
Posse of Citizens Hunt All Night for
 the Mscreant.


 Chicago, April 2.-Citizens of Lake View spent last night in a man hunt with the intention of wreaking vengeance on a man who had assaulted Margaret Murray, a pretty telephone operator. Miss Murray is confined to her bed, suffering from concussion of the brain.
 She was followed by a well dressed young man while walking home last night When near her home the pursuer grasped her throat She tried to scream but her assalant smashed her head against the brick wall and she fell uncon- scious. When she recovered she stag gered into a store and gasped out her story.
 The proprietor secured a rifle and with a party of fifteen men, armed with clubs, pistols and shotguns began to search for the miscreant. From Miss Murray's de- scription he was recognized as man against whom other complaints have been made recently. According to men who participated in the hunt it was the inten- tion to execute the man in the approved vigilant style. They returned this morn- ing very much discouraged at having been unable to find him.
