A NEW PLAN PROPOSED.

The Chicago Record-Herald has been considering the various plans and de- mands in connection with the canal project and has decided that "the cat ac1ysmic plan" is the one offering the best hope of success and satisfaction. It notes that some want the canal built at once, while others are equally anx- ious that the work shall be well done Thereupon our Chicago contemporary springs its plan thusly:
 Passing over wearisome engineering details that would merely irritate the reader without adding to his enlight- enment, we will say at once that the cataclysmic plan provides in the sim fsthnus. We are confident that. this mere statement will carry conviction at once to the American people. It ap- Is so much extolled because it gives vast results with neatness and dls- patch. Illustrating great things by small the ceierity of the process proc S.s may perimented with giant cracker in a tin can. The can rises to. point in the atmosphere that Is forty times its own height and lands across the street. Similarly the isthmus, if the explosive were given the right tilt might be carried high above the Uni
 
 down upon the capital of that country and incidentally the superimposing of one South American republic upon snother might greatly improve the politics of the continent
 It is to be borne in mind that many millions-or billlons-of cubic yards of earth, stone and gravel must be dug out and removed to some other place. The diggers can't throw the dirt up on the sides as an ordinary ditcher does when digging a small drain. The extracted material is to be taken up and deposited where it will be out of the way for all time to come. and that is one of tie great problems of the work. Here comes in The -Herald's whimsical solu- ton of the difficulty. We don't know
The Montgomery advertiser., 1905-12-03

whet the details are, but the idea is to put enough of some high explosive under the Isthmus to blow it out of the way.
 There are some minor difficulties in the way, it is true. but the engineers must work them out. We admit that these experts rarely seem to agree on anything. and it may be that there would be irreconciiable differences about this way of doing 1t. but that must be changed. The main thing is to gratify those who can't wait for the work to be done in the ordinary way. Blow the whole Isthmus to kingdom come and let the great salty seas rush in and embrace each other and rejoice at the triumph of mind over matter. It Is a pity that thIs solution was not sprung before the foreign engineers took their departure. As our contemporary says. this lis the only plan that meets all require ments"

Birthday of Veteran.
Mountain Creek, Ala, Dec. 2.

(Icch, <Alu.t OcC. z. Editor The Advertisers:
 The above heading in your paper of yesterday, December 1st. 1905, of the eightieth birthday of Gen. John W. A. Sanford of your city, carries me back in my memory forty or more years ago, to the dark days of reconstruction, when the heel of the brother in black was upon the neck" of the best citizen- ship of this great State of Alabama. How, when that amented statesman, Geo. S. Houston was a candidate for Governor. and when my county, GEL more( had been represented in the Legislature for years by one Bill Tur- ner & negro. and while I was the only Democrat elected to that body from the congressional district that year, Gen. eral Sanford. considered the finest orator in the State at that time, came at my humble bidding and canvassed the county day after day. made his speeches under the trees to the few whom we could get to listen to the doc Urine that we were preaching to them at that time.
 As brave as a Lee and as bold as "Stonewail Jackson" he stood before the people and told the facts that has since been revealed. that would save our common country from political ruin. I was more than glad on Tues day last to clasp the hand of Gen. John w. A. Sanford, who was visiting the Old Soldiers Home. as the guest of Capt. J. M. Falkkner, the father of the same. Respectfully.
 M. l.. Fielder,
 Commandant.

What State Papers
 Are Saying


Payins Taxes and Helping the State. Asheville Aegis.
 No corporations in the State are do- ing along this line, what the railroads are doing; they are the great levelers of humanity, the promoters or our prosperity, and the advancers of our civilization; St. Clair county owes It's full treasury to them; in like manner the vaults of the State are bursting with the wealth of their creation. Take them away and every enterprise their influence has created, nourtshed and fostered would go into bankruptcy our towns and cities would langulsn' fall into decay returning to the primi- tive condition out of which the raii- roads brought them. while our s sohs would depreciate to third or IneiT value andsour farmers would be driven back to jeans brooches woven az nome and their wives and daughters to ten cent calico or stay at home without an extra ribbon for the latter to deck their uueenly brows on the evenings of their sweethearts' calls Oh! what A boon the railroads are and have Deen to the people who are now caiIeo on to fight them in the interest or MT Corners aspirations for office: He says it is their fight.

The removal of AssIstant

The removal of Assistant U. S. Treasurer Lieb, at Philadelphia, is claimed by his friends. to De due to following the advice of Senator Pen rose. The latter is in enough trouble of his own just now and can't spare the time to help out men who have been made victims by too close fol- lowing of his fortunes. Late Min ister to Cuba Squiers according to a World dispatch from Washington had to resign because he had become of- fepsive to the Cuban government by 'obeying instructions he received from the administration at Washing ton in trying to defeat the passage of the rice tariff bill by the Cuban Con- gress, and in endeavoring to bring about the defeat of the treaty ceding the Isle of Pines to Cuba. Mr. Squiers declares that he not only received these instructions from Washington, but that he was also supplied with funds to carry on a campaign against the rice bill and to promote a senti- ment against the Isle of Pines treaty. These funds were furnished by South- ern planters"

Poor street Car servIct.

Editor The Advertiser:
 I wish to register a most vigorous kick against the rotten service given by the Montgomery Street Railway on their Court Street line.
 During the past month cars have been run on no schedule whatever-just one every now and then.
 Last night at 7:55 went to my front door to watch for car going towards town. After thirtyfive. minutes wait a car passed. going out. I presumed. of course. it would return in a few min utes, but such was not the case. l waited fifteen minutes longer or until S:45. and with no car in sight. l walked to town in a hard rain.
 During this fifty minutes that no cars were run towards town on the Court Street line, cars ran on the other lines of this company, proving that the com pany furnishing the electrical current were not at fault.
 There is no other city in the Union so large as Montgomery that would tolerate for a minute such service at the hands of public utility. and if the management of the Montgomerv Street Railways haven't sufficient business judgment to give the residents along its Court Street line a reasonable schedule, then the City Council of Montgomery should take such action as might be necessary to force a satis-
 Court Street Resident.

4 anrAr pIsCoyrRY.

 One Professor Jana. of the Univer- sity of California, comes forward with an alleged discovery that win work something of . revolution if there's no hitch in his theory. He has evolved . plan, or believes he has. by which the supply of esss can be eaualized throughout the year. so that there will not be a deiuge of them at one time and drouth at another. From somewhat lengthy account we copy this:
 The process by which the results were arrived at is . simple one; ls
 s oa wsas snsyn @ .ls fact f.ia that rSs sen nmeait iyir period occupies three months from october through December, and during that time sss prices yss sf essis isnrsa Usa out tnat if hs ooSia shorten ths o,,,n time e,Sf of monlting or casry it over to some oths shs tine ,a, Sl tns ssal hs sivision of eggs Iii the latter scheme was carried out the scientific producer would have q suppiy of sggs between sh srusap nis90eI raiser @

 shss 1ssls the r. fS.is rsdSesion S% % h the
 ply does not impair their vigor. but the quantity of eggs produced during during 1 ing is smaller thanS usual.
 There is good deal more by way of explanation and elucidation but the main point Is that the Professor be- iieves that the can change the mouit- ing time of the hens and that they will then lay fewer eggs in summer and more in winter, thus striking an average which will be highly appre- ciatde. In many parts of the country eggs are a drug on the market during the summer, and by the same token they are scarce during the cold sea- son. Farmers and poultry raisers have no method of preserving the ex- tra summer stock so as to bring them heo hfHEhSh AAA WtheCAs 0S ~nA w NoAA~ with some other products. The result is that the large summer supply must be sold for a trife and along towards Christmas when we are compelled to have them for cakes, egg-nogs and other necessaries of life they are eith- CT unobtainable or else they soar out of sight of the average purse.
 As we understand this Professor it is not his design to reduce the an- nual output of eggs but to eaualize it. Each hen will lay as many eggs in year as she does now, but she will spread her work through the entire year and thus strike an average that will be a boon to humanity. That would not only enable us to get eggs at all seasons but would equalize tho cost. so that a small basket of eggs will not bankrupt fellow just when he needs all his spare change for Christmas expenses. We hope the Pro- lessor will be successfui in teaching the hens to have ni6re consideration for the needs of humanity than they do at present

That was pretty plain language handed out to those disgruntled Isle of Piners by the administration. The letter of Secretary Root. with the ap- provaI of the President tells them very fiatly that they have no case. that the island belongs to Cuba, and that they have laid themselves open to such punishment as the Cuban government may see proper to administer. In plain words they are advised that they are rebels and need expect no help or countenance from the United States. It seems as if they had better skin out from the island or apologize for their fool action in trying to start q revolution.
