Cheap Travel the Safer.

German health officers, says the
Medical Record, have shown that one
runs more risks in travelling second
class on the railways of the German
empire than in the third class, because
the wooden benches of the third class
are not so likely to harbor bacteria as
the cushions of the second-class seats.

problem of good government the
Democratic party submits its principles
and professions to the intelligent suf-
frages of the American people.
REPUBLICAN PARTY
Convention, Chicago, June 1888;
candidate Benjamin Harrison. Tariff
plank:
"We are uncompromisingly in favor
OF the American system of projections;
we protest against its destruction as
proposed by the president and his
party. They serve the interests of
Europe; we will support the interests
of America. We accept the issue and
confidently appeal to the people for
their Judgment. The protective sys-
tenn must be maintained. Its abandon
ment has always been followed by
general disaster to all interests, except
those of the usurer and the sheriff.
We denounce the Mills bill as destruc-
tive to the general business, the labor
country, and we heartily indorse the
consistent and patriotic action of the
Republican representatives in Con-
gress in opposing its passage"
1892
DEMOCRATIC PARTY
Convention, Chicago, 1892; candi-
date, Grover Cleveland. Tariff plank:
SECTION 8. We denounce Republic
can protection as fraud, a robbery
of the great majority of the American
people for the benefit of the few. We
declare it to be a fundamental principle
of the Democratic party that the
Federal Government has no constitu-
tional power to impose and collect
tariff duties, except for the purposes
of revenue only, and we demand that
the collection of such taxes shall be
limited to the necessities of the Gov
eminent when honestly and econom-
ically administered.
REPUBLICAN PARTY
Convention, Minneapolis, June 1892;
candidate Benjam Harrison. Tariff
plank:
We re-affirm the American doctrine
of protection. We call attention to
it's growth abroad. We maintain that
the prosperous condition OF our
country is largely due to the wise
revenue legislation of the last Re
publican Congress. We believe that
all articles which cannot be produced
in the United States, except luxuries,
should be admitted free of duty, and
that on all imports coming into COM
petition with the products of American
labor there should be levied duties
equal to the difference between wages
abroad and at home.
We assert that the prices of manu-
featured articles of general consump-
ton have been reduced under the
operations of the tariff act OF 1890.
We denounce the efforts OF the
Democratic majority of the House of
Representatives to destroy our tariff
laws by piecemeal as manifested by
their attacks upon wood, lead and
lead ores, the chief product of num-
Der of States, and we ask the people
for their judgment thereon"
In 1892 the Republican convention
made the following declaration on
Reciprocity:
"We point to the success of the
Republican policy of reciprocity,
under which our export trade has
vastly increased and new and enlarged
markets have been opened for the
products of our farms and workshops.
We remind the people of the bitter
opposition of the Democratic party
to this practical business measure,
and claim that, executed by Re-
publican administration, our present
laws will eventually give us control
of the trade of the WOrld.'

PEOPLE PAID TAXES FEWER DELxNaUENTs THAN EvEn
 REEORE KNOWN. Only Three Pieces of Property Sold Ny Collector Nails of This County at Forced wnHA.

The prosperity of the people Of Mont- somery County Is shown by the small amount of property which was sold for delinouent taxes.
 State and county taxes had been paid county except six pieces and the total amount of delinquent taxes involved was only s32.67. Of these six pieces Of property only three were disposed Of by Collector c. W. Hails. Only three were on forced sales. The other three were sold at the request of either tho owners or persons holding mortgages and were bought in by these interested persons. Of the s3e.s7 due from all the delinQuents only sass was assessed against the realty on which the coi- lactor forced a sale.
 This Is a record of which Collector Hails and Deputy Collector C. B. Teas ley may well feel proud, for 1t has not been equalled or even approached by this or any other Alabama County, so far as the records show.
 During the last fiscal year, ending Co., tober l, Montgomery County collected S2s5,574, and the total insolvenciea amounted to less than $500. Of this amount uncollected some S2e0 was on personal and other property aRainst which the county could get no fore closure and the $32.67 was on the raaI- ty. The year previous the dslinquents owed several hundred dollars on realty alone. and the taxes on personal prop erty uncollected was considerably more than $260.

After paying the tiff alleges that he found that in sever- al cases they did not contain the amount of merchandise charged in the invoices.

 Dear iSrs-Your favor of the 12th inst, duly at hand and contents noted {. In answer to same I will state that our city has had experience in asph1lt and brick pavement5. We have let number of contracts for bithulithic pavement, but same have not yet been fulfilled.
 Our experience with asphalt has been rather unfortunate. Several years ago we undertook to pave our business streets with asphalt, and find that same do not in any respect come up to the requirements Of heavy traffic. The Barber Asphalt Company gave us a bond and deposited with us a guaran- tee to keep their pavements in this city in perfect condition for the space of ten years. They have absolutely failed to comply with their contract, and are giving US considerable trouble at the present time. In view of these circum- stances would not recommend asphalt for business streets, or for any streets over which occurs heavy traffic
 Our experience with vitrified brick pavement has proven same to be the only solution to the question of pro- viding wearing surface for heavy traf- fic. as those streets which we have requirements necessary for such traf- fic
 The bithulithic proposition with us is still an experiment. Later on will be able to give you my views concern ing same. Yours very truly,

 Dear Sir:-Replying to your favor of the 18th, induiring as to the rela- tive merits of brick, asphalt and oi- tulithic paving, we have about two miles of brick paving, no asphalt and only four blocks of bitulithic. On the whole our bsick streets have proven very satisfactory. yet we have only four blocks that have been down hVe years, the balance having been down from one to two years. The four blocks of bltulithic was laid a lttle over a year ago under unfavorable circumstances. namely. the street was dug up ahead of the paving Tor deep sewers, and ro-fllled with the dirt ex- cayated from the sewer trenches, and the paving immediately laid on SIX inches concrete foundation. The work was not completed until late in No- vember after the fall rains. ana con seouentIy the foundation gave away over these sewer ditches. caused py the weight of the roller used in roll Ing the bitulithic. The consequnce was that the street has never been receiV- ed. and in fact the contractors have never asked It's acceptance. In addi- ton to the four blocks referred to- we have under contract seVeHtcSH HUI v blocks which will De laid this sum" mer, and tbere is a petition before the Council for four blocks more. Now If the foundation Is properly put down. and bitulithic Is laid in warm wealth CT, that Is when the weather Is not colder than thirty-hve degrees, see no reason why 1t will not make first class street. believe 1t will last longer than asphalt. but I don't think 1t will last quite as ong as brick, yet there is no comparison as to its ad- vantage over brick in being compara- lively noiseless. and much easier on horses. The people ip the residence districts are petiaoning for 1t In pref erence to brick. as 1t is much less noisy and unquestionably moro pleas ant for driving. I would not have brick in front of my residence on that account.
 If there Is any further information I can give you, will be glad to do so.

has been laij during the past eight years, but such as was laid during the preceding five years has given satisfac- tion. Some of these pavements are just now being repaired for the first time. The experience with asphalt in this city has been much the same as in other cities throughout the South. . Plans are now being prepared for the paving of several streets with bithu- lithic. I have personally investigated this character of pavement in cities where 1t has been in use for some three or four years, and from my observations of 1t, together with my knowledge ac- duired as to its formation, I am of the opinion that in this city where both the soil and climate is generally quite damp 1t will prove more durable and satis- factory than the ordinary pitch asphalt pavement commonly styled sheet as- phalt pavement.
 I regret that my absence has caused % long lapse of time in reply to your inquiry. I trust. however, that this may yet reach you in time to be of some service.
 Very respectfully.
