GULF PORTS.

From the Washington Post.
1.-THE railroads of the south are making
a mad race to gain port on the Gulf Of
Mexico, in order to be prepared for the
completion of the Panama canal, de-
clared James Carter Wright, a business
man of Roanoke, Ga. at the Raleigh last
evening.
into New Orleans, is building up Bruins
wick, Ga, as port, because 1t is direct
ly on the gulf and nearer the Atlantic
ocean. The Louisville and Nashville runs
down through a part of Alabama to Pen
sacola, and that will probably be the
principal port of the state. Missls-
sippi has good port in Gulf
port. which but few years ago had
a population of few hundred of people
and now has 1900. The great fight. how
ever, is between New Orleans and Gall
weston. Each Is the terminus of a network
of roads, and each has advantages. Gal
weston Is in danger of floods and New Or
leans OF yellow fever. Galveston is di-
rectly on the coast, while New Orleans
is 100 miles up stream, yet the Crescent
City is nearer the Atlantic coast The
main contention between the two has
been as to which shall carry the largest
share of grain, and In this Galveston has
for the last two years taken the lead
Charges and counter charges have been
made between the two cities concerning
railroad discrimination, and the new rate
law is expected to have some bearing on
this situation"

FAIRBANKS ovERRUNs ILLINOIS,

From the New York Sun.
This man Fairbanks is dangerous. We
don't refer to his dashing automobile raids
in which. while drinking joyfully the wind
of his own speed he runs into democratic
buggies only, discreet as he is swift. A
day or two ago he was speeding the hay
cart, spreading, turning, loading, gath
ering into barns. Indiana is his crop. Now
he charges with his horseless cavalry
straight into Piatt county, Illinois, Uncle
Joe Cannons territory. The North Fork
of the Sangamon reflects as much as it
can of that tall and awful form. The
shadow stretches out to the waters of
Lake Michigan. 1t envelops the Hon. Billy
Lorimer in deeper gloom. The Hon.
Shelby Moore Cullom. looking for "cool
health resort" and at his fences, is con-
scious of the vice president, presiding

Does Uncle Joe cannon stick to butter
milk? No: already the cows of Illinois
low for Mr.. Fairbanks. and soon the solid
buttermilk vote will be on his side.
Cold Is he? Can Uncle Joe rush over
Illinois in a motor car. reducing the DEM
ocratic vote? Can he disengage so much
heat by his motion that infinite butter
milk cannot allay his fires?
