The Southern Cure for Corporations.

The Southern Cure for Corporations. New York World.
 To revoke a corporations license is the latest way of settling the railroad question in Alabama and Arkansas. For neatness and despatch there is nothing like 1t.
 A railroad corporation, for whatever cause. is brought into State court It has the case removed to a Federal court But a far-seeing Legislature has expressly prohibited any such slight being put upon che majesty of Southern State. on pain of the cor poration's forfeiting it's right to do business. Being dutiful officials, the State authorities promptly executed the decree and the offending railroad is supposed to pass Immediately to that limbo of reform where all good corporations are dead ones. President Castro used to imagine that he could prevent foreigners hold ing concessions in Venezuela from ap pealing to their own governments for protection. but 1t did not work In practice It is a common failing with persons who leave wills to provide that any heir applying to the courts
 shall forfeit his sE-re or the property but the courts have made short work of this notice to litigants.
 Possibly the weather has been try ing down South ana has made the State officials feverish and hasty. In
 a few weeks the heated spell will b
 over and frost will threaten. The cot ton crop vii be picked. By that time it will be a goad thing to moXe the i cotton to market

"This is My 77th Birthday"
Francis Joseph

Emperor FranciG Joseph of Austria Hungary was bon August IS, 1890. He is the longest reignina monarch of the world. having succeeded to the throne in 1S4S, at the age of IS. He came to the throne through the abdication of his uncle, Ferdinand I, in the midst of a revolution that threatened the foun- dation of the monarchy. On coming into power Francis Joseph promulgated a new constitution, but the course of events caused him later to return to a reactionary policy and for many years he ruled as a despotic monarch. His has been a troublous reign. In addi- tion to a serious rebellion in Hungary he has. in his long career, been obliged to engage in war with France. Italy and Prussia, in which his country has suffered the loss of much territory. It has been said that the venerable Elm peror is the most tragic figure among living sovereigns. The three greatest personal disasters that have darkened his life were the execution of his broth CT, Maximilian, in 1867, whom Napo- leon III soupht to establish as Emperor of Mexico the suicide in 1889 of his cnly son and heir Prince Rudolph; and, labtly, the assassination in 1898. of his wife, the Empress Elizabeth

Two Sides to Railroad Question

Richmond News Leader,
 Dealing with the railroads, keeping them to their duties. holding them to their obligations to the public. we must remember that the question has two sides. We cannot inture or cripple them without injuring and orippllng our own citizens and property: They are necessary not only for the develop ment but for the support of the coun- try It Is our right and duty to make them obey the law and to forbid them from prosecuting usi but when we un, dertake to persecute them or to deal with them with unnecessary severity we saw off the limb between ourselves and the treeA

honest in nothing he does. His stock in. .trads is a warlike disposition and anarchal in spirit In controversies he would assault, injure and destroy, never seeking an honest adjustment of mobs, strikes and communism. Give us more men like Judge Jones and 1t will add to the luster of Alabama abroad. In the different States and in the higher circles or statesmen Ala bama's methods are painfully ridiculed and she will never take her true po- sition as 8 great State until her people turn from the damagogue and let req son and intelligence guide them.

T try 1t anyhow" He then said that he believed that they would return in few minutes, and they might make further search. He seemed to be afraid of another search or encounter with them. He told me that they had gone over to their camp, he knowing where 1t was, and that they would be back in a few minutes to take their plunder. He informed me that on their re- turn he would make a request of them for few bits to throw them off, for fear they would make another search. All right. Go ahead. When you get through, 1 will make them talk too," l announced.
 In few minutes they rode up mounted, one of them getting down and picking up the plunder, for tunatelv not remem bering the over coat. The Englishman appealed to them in very submissive way ask ing them for fifty cents, which they immediately gave him. After he got through, 1 walked up to them with smile and introduced myself to them by saying that l did not understand them when 1 first met them. that 1t was rather a queer way of robbing man with music. 1 came to the point.
 "You boys have all the money l had," 1 said, which 1 don't care anything about (and 1 didn't) but you have some valuable papers which are of no value to you but are of great value to me. You give me those papers and it is all right. I don't care anything about this other little matter"
 The leader of the party who spoke good English then com menced questioning me about diff ferent parts in that section of the country; how far 1t was to Camp Apache; how far to Camp Verde; how far to Prescott and other points. I'addressed him as if 1 were answering any other person asking those questions; then crack ed another joke bout their manner 9f hold-up. He ordered his lieut. enant to turn me over the papers. He unpacked bundle that he had tied up and l got every paper, ln- cluding letters of credit to different parties, which called for unlimited amounts, letters of introduction, and other valuable papers about election matters. Then 1 felt easier. I knew that 1 could proceed re- gardless of the little money had lost and 1 could carry my point that 1 had originally set out to accomplish. For without those pa pers I could not have proceeded on my journey. And at that time l would rather have died than return to Prescott without carrying out my mission. After the robbers had given me my papers, they whlrled about, bade me d very warm Good Bye" and galloped away. After going about five or six hun fred yards they halted, the leader rode back close to camp and said
 Young man, your saddle IS right over there in the arroyo close 10 camp" pointing to it..

They also persuaded me to accompany them as far back as Pine Springs which 1 did the next day.
 The day following 1 resumed my original trip. From Pine Springs l went to Rock Station and found the mail rider who had new extra saddle that he was willing to sell. 1 bought the saddle and gave him an order for $4000 on Ed Bowers. The next day went to Sunset Crossing and tarried two nights and a day at the Mormon Camp with Lot Smith, the Mormon bishop of that place, meantime trying to do political missionary work with the Mormons. The next day 1 went to Horsehead Crossing, stopped at the Dorado Ranch where there Is now a railroad station called Holbrook. l rested all night and started for Camp Apache. l went to Cooley'S Ranch and re- mained one night. From there l went to Camp Apache the next day.

He hitched up line three seated rig and drove us to Saint Johns, taking Earth and myself, making the trip Tn day and a night. 1 spent day Ill Saint Johns fixing up matters. The next day 1 met man from opringerville named Spencer, who had rig. On his invitation 1 rode with hlm to Sprlngervllle. l didn't think 1 would know anybody there, but 1 had letters of introduction to several people. However, 1 ran across an old gambler by the name of Babcock whom 1 knew we'll. About the first thing Babcock said to me, was:
 Boy. what are you doing here?"
 1 told him 1 was over there on q little election business.

FLIP mo ASSEMBLY
WILL TAKE PLACE ON OCTOBER
16-INDEPENDENCE TALK.

Manila, Sept 29.-Gov. Gen. Smith
has issued proclamation convening
the assembly for October 16.
David P. Barrows, superintendent
of education, who published in the
Democracia the other day statement
as the result of his recent visit TO
America that the United States
stands ready to grant the Filipinos
immediate independence, has publish
ed explanations, but the newspapers
continue to comment upon his l,oliti-
cal utterances.
They believe them to have been
semi-inspired, because the interview
in the course Of which DR.. Barrows
made his sensational statement Great
ed the impression that he must have
been on terms of great familiarity
with some of the officers of the gov
srnment at Washington.
Among the indications of this is a
confidential letter from President
Roosevelt in which the name of the
next Philippine commissioner is dis
closed.

TO PROVIDE ARMY HORSES.
Gen. Aleshire's Plans for Improved
Remount System.

Remount System.
The new Quartermaster-General OF
the army, Brigadier-General James r.
Aleshire. entertains some ideas OF his
own concerning what is known as the
remount system; that is, the sources
of supply of horses for military use.
Some idea of the number of horses
needed. says Harper's Weekly, may be
gained by the fact that there will be
required to equip the army as at pres
ent organized riding horses as fol-
lows: Cavalry, 12,215; field artillery,
3,45O; infantry, 600; engineers. 231;
Signal Corps, 200; Medical Depart
Ment, 43O; hospital sections, 80; am
bulance company sections, A; division
and department headquarters, 5; gen.
eral depots, etc, z; Military Academy,
215. Should an emergency require
an increase in the army, it will be
necessary to provide S,524 riding
horses, 72 draught horses; 4,100
draught mules. 1872 pack mules and
1877 riding mules.
1t is General Aleshire's idea that
there be established in his Office re-
mount division which shall have
charge Of the establishment of depots
for the purchase of young horses for
both cavalry and artillery Cfrom three
to four years old to conform with
prescribed specifications and to be held
at depots until they are in condition

ton man of Memphis:
1--WE, as cotton merchants, are
very much interested in the presen
strike situation, and have noted YOU
many utterances. regarding same
which, so far as this section is con
cerned, are misleading to the public
and business Of the country.
1--WE respectfully call your atsen-
iiun to Tie inclosed resolutions thai
were adopted by the Mem
phis Cotton Exchange and trust that
your good-self, who appear to be the
controlling power of your company
will realize the truth of President
Lineoln's remarks: 'You can foo
all the people some of the time, some
of the people all the time, but you
cannot fool all the people all the
time
"We are taking the liberty of adj
dressing you from the standpoint 81
large patrons of your company, and
are now beginning to suffer severe
losses, as the cotton season has open
ed, owing to the numerous delays
of your company, also the Western
Union company.
"For your information, we would
state that very few kilograms can be
pat through promptly, excepting to
few points that our resolutions
name. Among the latest delays that
we. are advised of we sent telegram
over Postal Telegraph company to J.
II. Gutter G. Co., of Charlotte, N. c
NM Sept. 11th. This message was
delivered after 2 o'clock on Sept
18th. Previous to the strike, boil
The Postal and Western Union were
able to put through business and re
ceiFe replies ranging from twenty Il
forty-fve minutes, and the preseni
service is decidedly in contrast.

Among the places which are re.
garded as available are near Spring
field, Ohio, in the vicinity of Lexing-
ton or Danville, KY, in Virginia near
Washington, near Plattsburg in Mis-
souri,, in the Sequoia National Park
and the Yosemite National Park in
California.
The advantages of the remount sys.
tenn include the supply to the army
of young, fresh, sound and well brok-
en- horses; the creation of a market
for young horses, the prolongation of
the life or period of duration of the
animal with corresponding reduction
in expenditures; the affording of time
and means to properly handle and
break young horses; the establishment
of uniformity as to conformation, ac-
ton, etc., and the Standardization of
a special type which would be under
stood by breeders and farmers; the
shipment of horses in sanitary cars;
and finally, the equipment of the
United States army with the best
mounts of any army in the world.
