Lookinu to 1903.

Mayor Mcclellan was elected in 1903 to serve two years. He will become tle democratic candidate or mayor this fall, and he will beyond reasonable doubt be elected to serve another term, and that term will be four years long. In other words, he will serve until Jan- uary, 1910, unless other duties come to him in the meantime.
 lis service as mayor of the greatest American city has been eminently sat isfactory, so much so that the New York Times and the New York Sun are advocating his reelection, and it Is be- lieved his plurality in November next will be larger than it was two years ago. An effort is being made to induce aiI clements of opposition to unite upon Mr. Jerome, but MT Jerome desires to be reelected district attorney, and the opposition can not be concentrated in

German Influence at Portsmouth.

Today may determine whether peace is to come in the Far East or more battles with their dreadful waste of human life. Further postponements may intervene, but today is likely to be determinate the one way or the other.
 There is a general feeling that the German Emperor is pulling against would render Japan mistress of the Far East. It should be remembered that Germany seized part of the Shan tung peninsula, including Kiao-chou, at ..4. same time that Russia seized Dalny and Port Arthur. Both were members of the wicked combine of 1895 against Japan. Germany expected to follow up her seizure with the acquisition of more Chinese territory to the west ward, and she sees now that she will have to get out of China altogether if Japan becomes all-powerful in the Far East. An adequate indemnity would render Japan very strong both now and hereafter, and it Is believed the Kaiser in the Gulf of Finland urged the Czar to refuse to pay an indemnity. It Is beloved that he Is pulling in that direct tiol now, and that Russia's refusal to pa-r an indemnity Is due more to the Kaiser than to any other single in- fluence.
 france is about, however, to give the Kaiser business to attend to nearer home. An expedition is to be started from Algeria to punish the Sultan of Morocco on account of the arrest of French citizen, and this expedition will have the moral support of England, Spain and Italy, and it will be very apt to upset the schemes of the Kaiser in Morocco under French protection, ari the German Emperor can not change the course things are taking This will afford the wor d's meddler all the op- portunity he needs without going to the Far East to find a field for his peculiar talents and ambition.

WHAT RAILROADS DO FOR
 SOUTH'S DEVELOPMENT

in a similar capacity under MT. Spencer. He was told that there would be no dis appointment should no results be evident from his work for at least year, for the management was well aware of the dlfh- culty Of the problem that lay with an old and most conservative section of the country, entirely unused to such activi- ties.
 In the work Of the department thus established we have one of tfe most evil dent benefits from railway consolidation on vast scale. Unquestionably there Is economy in the increased efficiency thus achieved, for the extension of 'enlighten- ed efforts thereby set on foot for the in- provement Of communities is thus made applicable to every part of a vast area. No such elaborate activities would be possible for a small railway.
 MT. Richards work began with care ful study of the situation in all it's as- poets and the creation of an organization to correspond with the requirements thus made evident. A man of large mind and of genial nature. he made it his business to go everywhere and to meet everybody possible who might in any way be brought into any advantageous relation to the functions of the railway. Such work Is intensely interesting to a man of such temperament and capacities. When it becomes a mans business to be widely interested in the fortunes of many peo- pie, and to promote their prosperity, he must inevitably make many genuine friends. These, although so numerous as to be almost innumerable, are neverthe- less most genuine and heartfelt.
 The problems attending the work of such a department in the south are quite different from those In the vest where the land department of the great land grant railways-from the days of the Ill- nois Central half century ago, to the various trans-Missouri and transconti- mental lines-were the prototypes of this remarkable institution. In the far west the problem was to populate as rapidly as possible the vast areas of unoccupied lands, a large proportion of which profit ed the railway companies directly. since the receipts from the safes went into their treasuries. The interests that were to be aroused among prospective settlers were in a few staple products. The task was therefore a relatively simple one. In the south. however. 1t proved enormously complex involving new methods, new forms of organization, new machinery. The full history of such work would therefore make one of the greatest most important and most fascinating chapters in the history of American railway de- velopment.

In Sentemher.

September Is near. and the fever Is well in hand at New Orleans. In some of the lesser towns of Louisiana 1t is virulent and devastating, and In them it will probably run it's course to the coming of frost. It may finger in New Orleans until the appearance of frost, but 1t will finger under the limitations IT on it by the marine hospital service.
 The disease has probably had foot hold In New Orleans fully three months, and yet today it exist, outside of Louis jana at three points orly-Natchez, Gulfport and Mississippi City, all In Mississippi. Gulfport and Mississippi City are three miles apart, and they may be counted as one place of infec- tion. The outlook at Natchez Is un- fortunate. A negro woman who came from New Orleans carried the infection to Natchez and the fevor mosquito soon multiplied the victims of 1t until they now number perhaps twenty. At this writing Governor Vardaman and President Hunter of the Mississippi board of health are confident that Mem phis harbors no fever cases, and they are working hard to stamp the disease out at Gulfport and Natchez.
 The south is going into September in other words, in pretty good condi ton. The cases in Mississippi will be closely watched, screened and treated and If they are prevented from creat ing more of the same sort, hope will al once spring up that the disease will be confined to the state in which it first appeared this season in this country lao work done at Natchez and at Gulf port may In fact make plain what Ii possible at any place in which the dis ease may appear.

By Sylvester Baxter in the New York
 Sun.
 T has been a fashion of late to de
 piet the railways as raging monsters. devouring the substance of the land delighting in the destruction of industries and blighting the prospects of flourishing communities. While there have been and doubtless still are not a few instances of injustice to individuals and communities. 1t is evident that the self-interest of a railway system lies in building up the territory along It's line without favor or discrimination to its patrons. The ways in which the railways have built up the south in the past few years and are still building 1t up In steadily accelerating de- grees find probably their best illustra- tion in the great work which Is being carried out by the land and industrial de- partments of the various systems and companies.
 There was recently a meeting of the Southern Railway Land and Industrial Agents association at Asheville, N. c. In relation to this occasion 1t was said at thes time that until the Southern railroads began a systematic campaign for promul- gating information concerning the south there was very little perceptible develop ment In comparison with the newer sec tons of the United States. But in conse- quence of the effective work that has been done. a great movement of capital and industry and of population toward the south has taken place.
 Altogether the south Is now regarded as the most prosperous section of the United States, and this fact appears to be chiefly due to the systematic work of development which has been carried on by the roilroads. How extensive this is may be seen from the fact that the asso- ciation in question represents sixteen diff ferent railway companies whose combined mileage is over 10000 covering every part of the ten great states which they pene- trate.
 The pioneer in this work of idustral de- velopment was M. V. Richards, the land and idustrai agent of the Southern rail- way When that great system was creat- ed by the consolidation. of numerous smaller lines scattered all through the south from the Potomac to the Gulf of Mexico and from the Atlantic to the Mis- sissippi, the president. Samuel Spencer, called MT. Richards to him and asked him to undertake the organization of a great land and industrial department for the big new company. MT. Richards had had long training and successful experi- ence in railway work in the far west and later on the Baltimore and Ohio railway

MILITARY MEN ARE
 GIVEN A SURPRISE

One of those military political bombs such as used to fall so frequently in mill tary circles dropped yesterday afternoon when a telegram was received by Capt Carl H. Scale ordering him not to hold an election in his company for Colonel of the Second Regiment, A. N. G.
 But the tlegram came to late. The elec- tion had been held and legally. The re- sult-a solid vote of all three officers of the company for Col E. H. Graves-had been sealed, stamped and started on it's way to the capitol by special delivery.
 The telegram came as a surprise and read as follows:
 Do not hold election for colonel. Gov ernor postponed. Order sent by mail.
 BRANDON" The Second regiment has been in a mud dle since the encampment this summer when all of Colonel Graves staff resigned. Lieut.. Col. Charles R. Bricken was an against Colonel Graves.
 At one time it looked as if the lieuten- ant colonel would be elected by nice majority. He is supposed to have seen Governor Jelks on last Saturday or Sun day at Blount Springs, and everyone thought the election would pass off smoothly and that Lieutenant Colonel Bricken would be elected.
 That was the reason why the telegram was, such surprise. Officers of the Second, or rather all but the few, do not understand why the order to hold the election was countermanded so suddenly. They say that 1t means additional trou- ble In the regiment. A new date for the election has not been announced.

"The cutting through of the canal" !" says the Baltimore Herald will wit ness such a revolution and stimulation in the south as has rarely been seen in the history of this country, and will be one of the finest exhibitions of change of commercial gravity that the world has ever seen."
 The entire coultry Is beginning to arrreciate the change which is fast making the Caribbean basin the center of commercial activity in this country. The war with Spain may be said to have initiated the Gulf move, ment and the digging of the canal has clinched it and rendered it's progress sure.
 As tho Herald says, the southern DC, s are destined to become empori- ums of commerce, teeming with indus tries. Nor Is this all. All vessels of the Atlantic ports bound to or from the isthmus will traverse Gulf-Carib- bean waters, skirting Key West and rounding the island of Cuba as they sail. The Gulf will thus become the American Mediterranean towards which commerce will gravitate. The United States will become a Gulf power. and all things will begin to look Outward.
 This remarkable change will be due in part to the fact that the natural out let of the great Mississippi valley is the Gulf, and in part to the digging of the canal, and in part to the centrality of the ulf-Caribbean basin. All the Americans will find their natural com mercial center there, and the develop ment the south as one of the effects of the commercial revolution will be remarkable As yet the change is not fully appreciated, but it soon will be. The south will soon cease to be an ap- bondage of the east or of the middle west. It will soon be the center of the country's commercial. and industrial activities in close touch with the worlds great trade routes.

Prominent Man Dead.

A prominent educator of this city said:
 "TLe teachers of this city and of Ala bama learn with deep regret of the re- cent death of Dr. Arnold Tompkins, president of the Chicago Normal school. He kept his lecture engagement with the University Summer school at Tuscaloosa in July against the protest of his physl- clan and then filled a similar engage ment for a week at the summer school at Knoxville. On July 2S I travelled with him from Knoxville to Chattanooga. he was then on his way to his farm at Menlo, Ga, where he expected to rest for the remainder of the summer.
 'Dr. Tompkins was man of unusual power as lecturer, and had a wide rep- utation as an author. He had also att taned prominence as the successor of the late Colonel Parker at the head of the great Chicago Normal school.'

favor of anybody. All things favor George B. McClellan's reelection. He is a Tammany man who lets no organiza- ti and no man control his official action. He is an acceptable mayor, and New York will re-elect him.
 It Is conceded that his reelection make him prominent in the Press' dental race of 1908. Neither New York nor any other eastern state will have man to present who has so many strong points il. his favor as Mcclellan has. It will be claimed that he can carry the state of New York-that he is not Identified with either the Cleveland wing or the Bryan eontingent-thath he is a broad and well-balanced democrat who has never met defeat at the hands of ln people. His long service In Con g-ess made him familiar with national questions, and his service at the head of the city government of New York certainly renders him familiar with heavy executive duties. All in all, he will become, if reelected, national figure and an interesting party possi- bll'ty.
