ty bosses o.tright ever known In our

The situation In New York. ~ all
must plainly see. IL a natural result
Of bossism in politics. Two or three
men bossed the convention and Hearst
bossed those two or three men
1t would be an entire misuse Of Ian
guage to say that the Buffalo affair
was an expression of the sentiment OF
the Democrats Of New York, for 1t was
nothing Of the kind. 1t was q conven-
ton managed and dominated by less
than half-a-dozen men who cared
nothing for the good of the party at
large or for Democratic principles. and
the Democrats of the State in large
numbers are refusing to stand for IT..
That much is certain, no matter how 1t

TUESDAY, OCTOBER ?, 1903.
AN ANNOUNCEMENT.

0eeinning this morning The Adver-
tissr discontinues its special train on
the Mobile and Ohio Railroad to Ma
plesville.
This train was put on last May In
order to connect with the Southern
Railways regular northbound train,
scheduled to pass Maplesville at 2:3o
q. M, and to get into Birmingham at
6:3e q. m. The purpose of this special
service was to secure The Advertiser
entrance into all North Alabama points
on the early trains out Of Birmingham.
1t has been a very expensive under
taking for The Advertiser from the
start. not only on account of the cost
Of the special train on the NJ. and O..
but also because of numerous other
incidental expenses. in the office itself
and out of II.
This undertaking is given up with
great reluctance, and after a stubborn
ly persistent attempt to make 1t a sue
cess The failure is not due to any
lack Of desire on the part of the people
Of North Alabama to read The Adver-
tiser: on the contrary. they eagerly
welcomed it. signing contracts for six
months subscriptions to the number
of $500 in the first month. These con-
tracts provided that The Advertiser
should be delivered in the respective
towns at certain hours. based on its
reaching Birmingham at $50 q m.
Unfortunately The Advertiser has ,t
been able to carry out its contracts
and the list of subscribers has stead
fly diminished.
This development has not been due to
failure on the part of the Mobile and
Ohio Railroad to carry out its con-
tract of running the special to Ma
plesyille. 1t has made its special sched-
ule to Maplesville with rare prompt
ness and regularity. The trouble has
been with the regular train on the
Southern Railway between Mobile and
Birmingham. 1t has failed to reach
Birmingham so frequently that readers
In North Alabama have steadily given
up their contracts for observance
on our part. Our business in North
Alabama has steadily decreased until
improbable.
It must be said in justice TO the
Southern Railway that its officials earn
estly tried, in response to frequent APP
peais from this paper to bring abou,
more prompt arrivals in Birmingham:
they even moved back the leaving time
from Mobile one-half hour. but this did
not prove an adequate remedy. The
causes OF the failure to make the
schedule regularly appear to have beer
deeper than any temporary eXpedieni
could reach.
The Advertiser regrets exceedingly to
have to make this announcement and
explanation of its reasons. but it seems
to us that frankness and straightfor-
wardness are the best policy under
such circumstances

PRE-ARRANGED INTERvENT1oN.

Inc TACT of Intervention in Cuba Is
scarcely more patent now that off,
cial proclamation has been made tnan
1t was on the day Secretary Taft land
ed on the island. 1t will remain a
doubt in the minds of thousands of
patriotic Americans whether or not
interested people on the island did
not stir up all the trouble by actual
use of money, to keep insurgents in
the field. in the expectation of Ameri-
can Intervention followed speedily by
annexation. The arrangements for an
army of occupation have been going
on for months. and, contrary to ex-
pectations, Secretary Taft sided with
those who were seeking to overthrow
the government rather than with the
constituted authorities. If he was
ence would be that the weight of his
influence would be with those upon
whom rested the obligation for keep
ing order. but 1t was not to be this
way.
The Cuban people as a mass are not
fit for the sort of government under
which President Palma has been act
ing. Possibly those in line with him
have been guilty of ballot-box frauds
and that there is some ground for
complaint against him on that score,
but not to the extent OF Intervention
by the United States and assumption
of all power by our Secre ;ary of War.
There might have been an effort to
uphold the hands of existing govern
ment and Withholding of such knock
down and drag-out intervention, until
reasonable time had been given and
effort exhausted in trying to remedy
evils complained Of That, however,
would not have been in accord with ar
engagements made beforehand, and
the country must wait and see what
will be the outcome of deliberate
overthrow Of new republic by the
greater one which should be an ex-
amplar for all free and struggling
people.
In the meantime, let us hope that
II will not end by the addition of
another race problem to our already
overburdened country

THE ADVERTISERS STORM NEWS


The Advertiser is the only newspaper
in the country which has adequately
covered the fearful Gulf storm dis
aster at it's two chief centres. Mobile
and Pensacola. Realizing instantly the
magnitude Of the disaster and the i'm
portance of the news, The Advertiser
dispatched two Of Its best staff men.
the one to Mobile and the other to
Pensacola. directing them to spare no
expense In getting to both places at
the earliest possible time and to cover
the news in the most complete way.
Mr.. Sheehan went to Pensacola, and
Mr.. Burrows to Mobile. The L. and n
Road between Flomaton and Pensa-
cola was not so badly damaged as that
between Bay Minette and Mobile. so
that Mr.. Sheehan was first on the
ground, and his stories from Pensacola,
gave the first and only complete de-
scriptions of the horrors of the storm
there and thereabout that have ap-
peared In any newspaper.
Mr.. Burrows had great diff
ficulty in reaching Mobile. on
account of the damaged tracks
and bridges through the swamps
about the lower Alabama and Mobile
Rivers. He had to walk and boat about
fifteen miles. Before he succeeded in
arriving there, our local Mobile corre-
spondent. Mr.. Cosminsky, succeeded in
getting hold Of the first telegraph wire
out OF Mobile at a. m. Saturday night
and gave The Advertiser several COL
umns of new and valuable details, far
beyond the general news in the Asso-
ctated Press stories sent out earlier
from Flomaton and Meridian, from the
latter by mail or messenger out Of
Mobile. Mr.. Burrows on Sunday night
sent further story, which was admir-
able in its complete grasp of the whole
disaster. from first to latest develop
ments.
On Sunday our correspondents in
Mobile and Pensacola sent photographs
Of the extraordinary scenes in those
cities. which appeared in yesterdays

1t Is an interesting fact that The At
lanta Constitution on yesterday copied
almost verbatim on its first page The
Advertisers Mobile special appearing
Sunday. yet it did not have the fair
ness to credit the story to The Adver-
tiser. but boldly appropriated it, dated
1t up and marked 1t as its own special

energy and the spending OF money will
accomplish that result

The official Consular and Trade
Notes. issued at Washington, says:
The failure of the municipal baker
cries at Catania, Italy. is reported by
Mr.. Churchill, the British consul at
Palermo. There was a 100000 deficit
in the balance sheet, and the request
for a loan of $4,000 was refused by
a royal commission; in consequence
the institution has been closed" 1T
is says the Hartford Times, "one
thing for a municipality to supply its
Inhabitants with water, which Is not
a commercial undertaking, and it is
quite another thing for 1t to engage
in the manufacture and sale of a COM
petitive commodity, which any private
citizen may properly supply himself
and others. The failure of a govern
ment bakery does not prove that there
should be no municipal enterprise of
any kind. but II does tend to show that
a government should not attempt to
compete with citizens In their ordi-
nary business affairs, a distinction that
1t is well to keep in bind"

The disaster at Mobile WEDNESDAYS
night and Thursday morning, terrible
as It was. did not fail to be accom-
panied by many ludicrous incidents"
said man who was In Mobile during
the storm. "One took place Thursday
morning. when an old negro nanny
was rescued from a precarious position
by one of the brethren.
Nanny had been hemmed IN by
the water that bad gradually risen I'M

her cries were unheard. Finally a
lusty scream for aid attracted the at

located the woman and then shouted
that he was 'a-comin'.
Securing a large tub. he pushed 1t
down the street. When the water be-
came deep. he started swimming and
soon reached the old woman. Placing
her. or at least part of her. in the tub.

publication OF which I have any au.
thentic record, was in a Georgia rural
