 After many futile efforts. much pickering and repeated changes in the original plans and specifications, 1t now looks as though the new county jail in course of erection will be pro ceeded without further delay. Ever since the contract for this building 2 and the court house annex was award ed. the contractors and county archi- tects have been placed in embarrass ing positions. first, from one cause. | then another. One principal hinge was the plumbing which the city plumbing inspector said were contrary to the plumbing ordinance of Mobile. She architects, Rudolph Benz and Sons. and the contractors, Jett Brother ;, agreed upon a change, but notified the boards there would be an extrI cost therefor. The Board after two hours of deliberation, agreed to allow the contractors $4,522 for making the change.

Traffic Resumed.

For the first time since the hurri- cane of nearly a month ago, trains were run through from the city to Fort Barrancas, over the Terminal Railway today The resumption of trafic over this line has been anxiously awaited and will be a source of much conven- fence to those residing along teh line, although electric cars have been oper- ated as far as Big Bayou for week or more.
 The entire track between the army post and city, nine miles distant, was washed up by the hurricane. the tide having full sweep at 1t, as the line follows the bay shore. This could have been repaired and cars been running g two weeks since. but for the fact that the two trestles, one over Little Bayou and the other over Big Bayou, were carried away.
 The first train went out this morning at 7:15 o'clock, and when 1t reached the army post. there were cheers from the hundreds of artillerymen stationed 'hn"n, The repairs now made are tenn porary, and only two trains are run each day untilthe work Is completed.

The Consumer Pays AS Usual.

Some years ago, when the trusts were
first accused Of being the creatures Of
the tariff, it was replied that that could
scarcely, be, since free-trade England
had trusts before we had them. Now
that the tariff is accused Of being the
cause of the underselling abroad, or
the "dumping' process, as it is called,
the high tariffites reply that this can
scarcely be, since free-trade England is
more characterized by dumping than
our own country.
z, Ernest E. Williams, an English
economic writer, has been looking up
the subject and reports to the Amer
lean Economist that the system is quite
common in Great Britain. He gives
Instances which discount any discoy-
cries: about American watches sold
abroad and reimported to be sold in
competition with the home price after
paying freight and import duty. In
The electrical trades price cutting is
common. Nottingham laces are sold
Tor less in Australia than in London.
Bradford, the home of wooden manu-
features, habitually sells cheaper abroad
than at home. Bicycles, Sheffield steel
goods, Scotch coal, British iron and
steel go the same way. -
The simple explanation, says Mr..
Williams, is the fierce competition that
: is to be met abroad. can anxious seller
takes the best price he can GET
All this must be very comforting to
the buyer in non-manufacturing coun.
tries. He gets all the manufacturing
countries to compete for his market
and he makes the price, not they. The
curious fact about it is that Mr.. Will
Iams attributes the price cutting
facturers to their lack of a protected
market at home. The wonder is, then
what is the cause of the same process
in American It cannot be lack of 8

4 3turers would probably say it was the
necessity of getting their share of the

INTERESTING LIGHT ON KOREA
To the average reader, whose knowledge
Of Korea has largely been obtained in
cidentally from reading news OF the re-
cent Russo-J Japanese war. Homer B. HUI
bert's Tho Passing OF Korea will prove
an enlightening work. It Is packed full
Of things that people ought to know
about the Hermit Kingdom but that
few really do know.
Tht authors study of the people and
their history has led him to q friendly
appreciation Of the Koreans admirable
qualities, so that he dedicates his book
to the emperor of Korea "as a token and
a pledge of unwavering allegiance, at
time when calumny has done it's worst
and justice has suffered an eclipse" and
| to the Korean people, who are now wit
Messing the passing Of old Korea to give
place to a new, when the spirit of the
nation, quickened by the touch Of fire,
shall have proved that tho sleep is the
image of death it Is not death itself"
In his preface he says of the Koreans:
| They are by far the pleasantest people
In the far east to live amongst He
gives Korea credit for furnishing the half
i savage tribes Of Japan their first impetus
toward culture. 80
| The above is enough to show that the
author writes of Korea as a friend and
1 tHl? 10 SIloWH again III MS suggestion as
to methods to be employed in the en-
lightenment Of the Koreans. He is in
favor of letting the time honored Gus
toms of the land stand. Efforts to lift
up the people must go deeper than that;
they must strike at fundamental things,
at the character Of Korean life itself and
not at its superficial manifestations. He
says: There are American gentlemen
in Korea who could lead you to country
villages in that land where the fetish
|shrines have been swept away, where
schools and churches have been built,
and where the transforming power of
Christianity has done fundamental
work without touching single one of the
-honored customs of the land"
This friendly and sympathetic critic of
q strange people writes of the natural
resources Of the land, of the people them
selves, of their government, of their
legendary history and their medieval his
tory, of their contact with the Japanese,
OF the opening Of the land to outside peo-
pies, of their literature, their music and
art, their folklore and their religion and
much else, always throwing interesting
light upon the subject he is discussing
There has been SO much said of the
Koreans from an opposite point Of view
: that Mr.. Hulbert's work will be well
coined by those who would consider both
sides of Korea's case. It deserves the
); place of "standard," both as entertaining
and informing reading and as a work Of
, reference
