ANOTHER QUAKE.

Whatever may be the tenor of later reports from Valparaiso 1t is pretty sure that the earthquake has added yet from this cause. Full reports may show that the event was more disast- rous and widespread than is indicated by the meagre news yet received. The scene of this latest convulsion is well in the earthquake region. where dis- asters of like kind<are likely to occur at any lime.
 One of the disturbing features of these visitations Is that human fore sight cannot anticipate them nor can human skill guard against them. Build lngs can be so constructed as to safe guard them to some extent. but noth- Ing constructed by human hands is ab- solutely safe against these great con- sulsions of nature. and it sometimes happens that finnsy wooden build ing will be practically unharmed while the most solid and expensive strne- ture goes to pieces.
 Will the scientists ever be able to say with absolute certainty what pro- duees earthquakes? There are vari- ous theories advafeed. and they are only theories. A 'fault' in the earth's surface causes it to crack and through that crack comes an earthquake or q volcano: perhaps both. but they have not been able to tell us why those faults" should exist, where they are located or when one of them may give way. And even if 1t were certainly ssnown when these convulsions would occur we could Tot prevent them or guard against them. nor could we fore tell the time of their coming. We can hear and make a record of one after it has occurred and that is about as far as human Knowledge has ad- vanced.

SOME INSTANCES IN POINT.

There was once king. or amperor, or something of the kind. who ruled over a great number of provinces. some of which were continually in revolt He called the general of his armies before him and asked him wAy he could not keer all of the provides quiet The. general replied by laying down on the ground crumpied. unnamed cowhide. and placing his foot on one of the bumps. thus pressing 1t down. while other parts of the hide rose up, That was his way of showing the king that he and his armies could quiet what ever portion of the kingdom they viss fled. but there would be uprisings in other places. In short. he could only keen the hide down at any point by standing On it.
 That reminds us that after bat- tie in which the -Genfederates were worsted President Davis said to the defeated general, who was more noted for fighting and swearing than for diplomacy: General, I thought you told me you could whip the Yankees" !" q can, MT. President,s was the in sxant reply, but - 'em, they won't stay whipped"
 And this. again. reminds us of Bully Boy Conner Whenever he goes to county he pins 1t down in his own column, according to the reports sent out by his friends. but as soon as he leaves, it rises up against him. To hear him tell it. he can hold down any part of the State. but the other portions rise up. And he can whip pr. Cunningham, if we are to believe what he and his supporters say. but he won't stay whipped. The end of 1t all will be a general uprising of the peo- pie against the campaign of brag and bluster and Dr. Cunningham will be the Governor of Alabama, as he ought to be. Conner may defeat him every day. as he boasts. but the 27tht of the month will be one day that will be diff ferent.

 On Monday of next week the Demo- cratic voters of Alabama will have the opportanity of expressing their choice for Governor There are two candi- dates before them. One, Lieutenant Governor Cunningham. Is n broad minded, experienced statesman, whose record proves his ability and his faith fuiness to public trust The other. MT. Conner. was elected to a position in which he promised to do great things. and has failed. He first played the baby act by saying 1t was his wicked partners.'' although he has never tried to make any changes except those which he knew they would not sup port him in. That was enough for him Nothing would do but what he demanded. He then fouled his own nest by denying that the Commission had any power and thus freed his wicked partners" Not content with this he sought and paid for an opinion from an outside attorney who declared ths law unconstitutional. The Attor- ney General. the sworn legal ofIicer of the State. and whose services were at Mr comer's command for tho asking. is on record as declaring that the law is valid Yet in the face of the fact that it is Mir. Corners duty to defend the law under which he holds office and draws salary, until set aside by judicial decree, he seeks to excuse himself for running away from one office on the plea of lack of power to do anything and hunts another. He only wanted the position he now holds as lever with which to try and prize himself into the Governors chair.

in hsm to take the peoples money when he knew there was no law for It.
 But in what way has he proven him. self worthy of support. He knew when he was making the promises two years ago that they would not be car- Tied out The people had confidence in him and expected somethinEs and be- cause he has been such colossal fafl- ure, does he. think he is entitled to promotion. Every mad who has stud jed the question knows that the Pres ident of the Railroad Commission has more power to fix freight rates than has the overnor, but never word from Air Corner concerning this. He has lost all interest in the Railroad Conn mission and says "ifs the people will elect him Governor and give him a Legislature he can control he will do something. Under such circumstances the ability of any man to do some thing would not be> doubted. but we believe he is mistaken in the people of Alabama for believing they will treat him so nice.
 His campaign throughout has been one of abuse and vituperation. All the living and dead ex-Govefnors. past legislatures end men who opposed hays been abused by him. He has never had any issue, save the railroads. and has proven himself incompetent to deal with them. Good roads and bet ter schools will help our people more than reduction of freight rates, but this has no interest for him. We fa- vor a rsduction of freight rates but believe first in giving tonnage suffi- cient to ask reduction.

Mir. J Day Barron. of The Montgom- cry Advertiser, the last of the Indians thinks the ''k' should be used instead of the .'e" in spelling Indian words. That would force Tuscaloosa to spell 1t with a "k," and Professor Wyman says nay.--Birmingham Ledger. The "c" in Tuscaloosa was long a matter of dispute. but when the two newspapers of that town consolidated, "c' won out as the boys say. One paper had used K" in its title, while the other used e. The Register had it's tradition that K" was right, but was the only paper outside of Tuscaloosa that per- severed in the use of that letter. Ac- cordingIy. when the consolidation was effected and the hyphenated Times-Ga-' zette came out with the 'c'' in its title, there was no more 10 be said, except fer The Register to move to make it uem. con, and that settled 1t. Tusca- looEa 1t is, and is likely to remain Mobile Register
 We beg to inform The Register that custom is not always infallible. neither is the Postohice Department. for that matter. In the postal guide will be found numerous Indian names of post ofices where the K" Is used with no better reason than it could be in Tus- kaloosa. As there is no regularity shown by the Goaernment, we shall in- sist that our position Is correct.

 I want to beg good men everywhere to join hands to bring this about We can do it if we will. Men who drink or who are otherwise immoral should not be put fin office by our votes There are numbers of men seeking election in Alabama who are unworthy of your support Find out certainly who they are and let them feel the power of your opposition. Don't depend too much upon the newspapers to give you the information needed. Combine with good men in your neighborhood and stand only for the best men You must be willing to do some unselfish work for the men you fix upon They need you before the. election to give the voters information. They need you. at the polling places all the day Of August 2T to help voters make out their tickets. Some of the most im- portant offices to be filled and the men who are seeking them are but little known by the great majority of the voters. After you post yourself. you can do some first class missionary work with these. There can be no re-
 
 consciousness of having helped to put good men in and to keep bad men out. This ought to be ample compensation for every patriotic soul
 If you come in contact with saloon keepers, gamblers and thinking mea generally, find out certainly who they are for.< If yon are In great doubt, be- cause of lack of information. about whom you should support. you will be generally safe In voting for the man they are seeking to defeat

Drunken and immoral men have too often been elevated to office by cur votes. Let us quit the dirty business. Let us no longer be the tool of unworthy men Let us keep our tisan prejudice.
