CURRENT COMMENT.

The Charleston Post (Dem) says:
THE President is having much trou-
BILE with the Southern situation, but
he has not yet had enough or so much
as he is likely to have in compensa-
ton for his hapless and witless policy
toward the race question in this sec
ton. Before he gets through he will
wish that he had never taken hold of
that matter"
The Cincinnati Enquirer CDem.)
says: Congress did practically moth
ing in the month of December, al
though there was a good deal of sug-
gestion in the Presidents message. 1t
will do little more than pass the APP
preparation bills in the scant two
months of the session remaining. Sem
ator Hears anticorporation bill, so
called, will no doubt help to fill up the
time with debate, but the comment al
ready made on it in the newspapers
and by public men indicates clearly
that there will be no agreement on it
in Congress-"
The Louisville Courier-J Journal
(Dem) says: ''Indianola has a popula-
ton of 1900, two banks, three news
papers, electric light and water works,
a factory and about thirty-five bust
ness houses. This is the town which
the President has summarily deprived
of a postoffice because some of the
people objected to a colored, postmaster
If the President chooses to make this
sort of fight, why should he not make
ii with some discrimination and exer-
else his autocratic power by withhold
ing all mail from those citizens who
are guilty, rather than strike at the
entire community by abolishing the
postoffice?"
The Washington Post Qnd.) says:
DIR. Crum's nomination to be collector
of the port of Charleston purports to
be in the interest of the colored race.
But that race lives in the South, and
is going to stay there; and it is vast
ly more important to the negroes to
maintain amicable relations with the
white people than to have half a dog
en- of their number in Federal offices.
OF course, the President had right to
nominate DR.. Crum, and he had a
right to close temporarily the post
Office at Iudianola. Miss. But both acts
tend to irritate the white people and
to create enmities between them and
the colored people. Race prejudice NAV
be lamentable but it is a fact. and
statesmen take note of facts 1t is a
fact not only in our Southern states.
but wherever the white and the dark
races come together. 1t may possibly
be outgrown, but it cannot be destroy

attack. The President is not a wise

rHE PLAGrE Ar ,rAzATLAN.

Every day or two it is announced i'm
the dispatches that the condition of az
fsirs al Mazatlan is growing steadily
worse, that all business is Frustrated
and that the people continue to desert
the city. In our dispatches yesterday
it was stated that there was no foun-
dation for the report that the disease
had spread to Acapulco and other
PORTS of Mexico. But if the epidemic at
Mazatlan is as bad as it is reported
to be, how long will it be before it
reaches other towns?
The question which presents itself in
this connection is this: What is being
done to check the spread of the
plague? Anything? 1t is stated that
there $ a shotgun quarantine against
Mazatlan. Refugees from that place
are denied admission to other towns.
That is not the way, however, to fight
the disease. Sooner or later, if the cpl
dernic continues, the plague will find
its way through the quarantine, and
if the conditions are favorable for its
81 read, it will appear in epidemic form
in other towns.
The Mexican government does not
appear to be doing anything to stamp
out the disease. 1t may be that it does
not know what to do. Assuming that
such is the case, would it not be ad-.
Visable for our government to offer to
as sist it? This country is vitality in
terested in having the disease check
ed. II it spreads generally over Mexico
it will be impossible to keep it out
side of our borders by the ordinary
quarantine methods.
Energetic measures against the dis
ease should be taken at Ma
zatlan, and our government ought
to offer to assist that of Mexico
in checking the epidemic little
money spent that way might save us
many lives and a vast amount of trou-
lie and expense.
Experience shows that the best way
to fight such diseases is the adoption
and enforcement of rigid sanitary reg
ulations. Cleanliness is a much better
protector than quarantine. 1t was by
cleaning up Havana that yellow fever
was checked in that city. Cleanliness
doubtless would do wonders in the way
of Kidding Mazatlan of the plague

A GREAT CORPORATION.

The recent action of the Pennsylva-
mia Railroad in increasing it capital
ization from $32S, APO, 900 to 1915 900, 900
illustrates better than any other one
thing the enormous growth of this
country within the last few years. This
great corporation has grown with the
country. 1t has become great as the
country's resources have been devel-
oped. -ol 1o,a
There is no water in the new issues
of shares and bonds of the Pennsylva-
mia. For all the shares and bonds it
puts on the market 1t gets par or more.
And the money thus received goes into
improvements, in the purchase of new
lines or into the shares of competing
lines to prevent cut-throat competi-
ton.
In 1873 the company doubled it's stock,
and since 1899 it has increased it's cap
italization about SAG, 900, most OF
the money going into the shares of

At present it has in contemplation
vast schemes for Improvement. 1t will
spend $100, 1000, 900 or more in construct
ing a tunnel from Jersey City to the
heart of New York city. in building an
immense depot in that city and in con-
structing a tunnel to Long Island. It's

Former State Senator w. A. Chase
of Holyoke, Mass, who enjoys the
friendship of nearly every politician in
the Old Bay state, tells story on
himself apropos of the coal situation,
says the New York Commercial.
He has been in the coal business for
many years, and among his patrons is
an eccentric citizen who recently or
dered a ton of egg coal. A day or two
afterward the customer came into the
coal office and, leaning over the rail.
drawled out:
What kind of coal was that you
sent me. William"
why, egg coal, as you ordered, :"
responded Mr.. Chase, affably and
promptly.
well, may be; but, if it was, it was
anywhere from robins egg to grape
fruit in size" retorted the dissatisfied
patron.
1T burns all right, doesn't it?" que
ried the coal merchant.

The fifty-four Georgia negroes who
left Savannah last week for Liberia,
by way Of New York and Liverpool,
met with sad disappointment in New
York. Several of them had taken their
pet coon and 'possum dogs with them,
possibly with the expectation of in
dulging in some fine hunts in the
swamps of the Dark Continent. But
when they started aboard the White
Star steamer at New York the guards
said, Get OUT" to the dogs. But dey
belongs to us" explained George
Scott. late of Irwin county, IAN dey
is powerful fine coon dogs. We hearn
dat Liberia is full OBJ 'coons. an so we

that explanation was sufficient. and so
the dogs had to be left behind in Ho-

The suggestion that a fund of IS, 600
be raised for Senator Hawley of Con-
necticut has aroused some indignation
in the nutmeg state. Some of the SEN
ator's friends declare that he is in no
need of relief, being already in COM
Portable circumstances.
DIR. Frank Wigglesworth Clarke,
professor of mineral chemistry in the
Columbian University, has been invited
by the Philosophical Society of Man
chester. England, to deliver the Wilde
lecture on the atomic theory on the one
hundredth anniversary of the pro-
pounding of this theory at Manchester
by John Dalton.
There is criticism of Justice Van
Brunt of New York because he has ac-
cepted the. presidency of a trust COM
pany while retaining his place as JUS
tice of the Supreme Court. His probity
is unquestioned. Judge Van Brunt will
receive no salary as the trust company
president until he retires from the
bench, and will give practically his en-
tire time to the state, but the incom-
patibility of the two relationships is
being commented on. particularly in
view of the judges announcement that
he will not resign from the bench.
Prof. Robert Koch, who alternately
terrorizes and soothes by his revela-
tons concerning bacteria, is SO. He
was born at Klausthal, Hanover, and
studied at Gottingen. In 1882 he dis
covered the bacillus tuberculosis; in
1884. after a journey in Egypt, he I'M
earthed the cholera bacillus. and in
1890 added the phthis bacillus to his
collection. He has also accomplished
many other works for science that are
not expressed in terms of microbes, his
researches in splenic fever and wound
poison being conspicuous examples.
