Opportunities in the South. No portion of the United States has made greater progress in the past year or two than the South. Northern and foreign capital is rapidly invading that section, finding profitable investment in the various industries and factories that are being rapidly developed and built. The great influx of settlers is creating an increased demand for lands of all kinds, and prices are gradually advancing, as they will for years to come. Work is plentiful and poverty practically unknown. Alabama coal and iron to all the world. More money can be made and with less labor in the raising of small fruits and berries and in truck patching along the Gulf Coast than in any other state in the Union. Strawberries from Alabama reach Northern markets before those from the states in the southeast. Cattle can be raised with great profit, there being millions of acres of cheap range lands. If you are interested in the south and its resources and desire information on any subject, address G. A. PARK, General Industrial and Immigration Agent, LOUISVILLE 8 NASHVILLE RAILROAD.

POLITICS OF THE DAY

Republican Trust-Busters. A great deal of rubbish has appeared In print about the anti trust legislation that Congress has been engaged upon, most of It being Intended to befog the | minds of the voters Instead of enlightening them on what has been and is Intended to be accomplished toward controlling the trusts. There has been a conflict between the Senate and House on the measures that should be enacted and the Senate has won, as all the legislation on the trust Issue that has been passed or will be enacted by this Congress are Senate .bills. That is ominous of how little the new laws will really do against the trusts, for it is conceded that the publican leaders In the Senate are nil under obligations to combines and corporations, and are therefore unlikely to pass laws that will Injure their friends. Some weeks ago the trust attorneys visited Washington and conferred with the administration trust-busters, and the legislation that has so far passed and Is proposed to pass Congress Is the result of this consultation between the trust attorneys and the Republican leaders. The legislation is as follows: An amendment to the bill creating the Department of Commerce, which provides there shall be a bureau of corporations which shall Investigate the combines — except the railroads—and slinll “report to tho President from lime to time, as he shall require; and the information so obtained, e>r as mueh thereof as the President may direct, shall be made public.” Also to publish “useful information concerning corporations” as shall engage in Interstate commerce. These are the fpmous “publicity” provisions upon which the President has set so much store. Yet the only publicity required by this law is to publish “useful Information," or as much information as the President may direct. That publicity will be useless may be known by tho three years’ efforts In that line by the Industrial Commission, which published nineteen large volumes containing an enormous mass of facts about trusts and corporations, yet no law has ever been based upon these facts, and the trusts have increased and multiplied since the publication of this Information. The Interstate Commerce Commission has likewise Investigated and published all the facts about the railroads for sixteen years, but it has nover curbed their rapacity nor prevented the public from Investing in their watered stock. Publicity may even do harm by publishing “useful information” that the trusts want to have made public. The statistical bureau of tho various departments of the Government have for many years been publishing “useful information” that has been a prop and aid to the continuance of the protective tariff, and in fact has persistently rejected all that would expose Its enormity and fallacies. So much for publicity. The next law on the program is to advance trust suits iu the courts. 'This Is Attorney General Knox's particular pet and is certainly needed, for the suits against the beef trust and the railroad merger have been dragging along since last spring, and are still In their Initial stages. But it will require more than a law to advance trust suits. The great necessity la an Attorney General who is a real trust-buster; but so far, no Republican President has appointed such an one. Indeed, Mr. Knox, himself was attorney for the Carnegie Steel Corporation, and can hardly be expected to expedite the law against his friends. Mr. Knox complained that he had not been furnished with sufficient funds to adequately fight the trusts, so the Democrats have forced an amendment to the legislative and judicial appropriation bill giving him $500,000 for that purpose. This bill has been hanging Are in conference for some weeks, perhaps because of this amendment not being looked upon with favor by the Republican conferees. The last and the most extraordinary trust-busting bill is the one to prevent rebates by railroads, which Senator Elkins Is sponsor for. It Is not intended that this bill shall hurt the corporations; It was probably drawn after consultations with railroad attorneys, and Senator Elkins, being a corporation man himself and noted as a friend of the combines, is hardly likely to have pushed a bill through to take money out of the coffers of the great railroad mergers. The bill contains a clause repealing the criminal clause of the Interstate commerce act, and that alone would lndicute that the railroads and combines fnvored It, for they evidently fear that an administration who would enforce this provision''may be elected In 1004. This they do not mind, but Imprisonment would be unbearable to a trust or corporation magnate. AH this shows that the so-called antitrust legislation is a farce enacted to again fool the people by trying to make them believe that the Republicans aro trust-busters. Who Ha* Held Up the People? The strike commission has permitted the operators to present testimony against the miners and has delivered Incidental lectures to the miners on the subject of their responsibility to the public and their duty to mine all the coal possible. The miners deny that they have limited the output of the mines and assert that the operators

have done so. Fair play demands that the miners have their opportunity to question the men at the head of the coal combine. Whether the miners have been misrepresented is a question of minor Importance, however, compared with the right of the public to know svlio has been working the holdup game in the coal market.-—Philadel-phia North American. How I» Thi* for Conservatism? It was no obscure member sitting down away back that bobbed up In the House at Washington and proposed thnt Uncle Sam “take possession of all coal, coal beds and coal mines In the United States and all lines of transportation, agencies, Instruments and vehicles of commerce necessary for the transportation of coal.” It was the Republican chairman of the House judiciary committee who proposed all that. It was a man chosen for ills supposed cool-headedness, conservatism | and respect for the constitution and the laws made in pursuance thereof as head of the most conservative committee of the House. It was a man chosen by the Speaker ! of the House, who is supposed to stand very near the head of the Republican party of the country—the party which denounced and hooted and Jeered the expropriation plank of the New York Democratic platform last fall —the plank which the Democratic nominee for Governor of that State made haste j to repudiate. It was John J. Jenkins of Wiseon- ! sin, a Republican supposed to stand at about the farthest remove from revolutionary socialism, who proposed to distance the New York Hill platform and give the country a tremendous send-off in the direction of State socialism. What has happened to the Republican party lately'/ it looks a good deal like a panic and a general run for the tall timber. —■ Chicago Chronicle. An Expensive President. President has expensive tastes; he entertains more than any of his predecessors. Every week during the season there hnve been two or more entertainments, dinners, receptions, musicales, tens—pink and red. The renovating of the White House, just completed, cost $475,445; the original cost was less than SIOO,OOO. How this large sum lias been expended is hard to say, but It has nearli' all been spent on the inside decorations. The running expenses for this year were $40,000; there is appropriated for next year $80,500. The lighting of the White House and grounds .post- this year $17,180, next yenr It will be $24,030. When the Items of these expenditures ace published It will be interesting to know how it was expended. The less than two years of the present administration has so far cost more than a whole term of any other President.

Oliver Twist —Wants more.

Roosevelt and the Trusts. President Roosevelt’s opposition to removal of a tariff protection from the trusts, as stated by him during the recent campaign, was on the ground that small industries competing with the trusts might suffer. But the present Democratic proposition entirely meets and obviates thnt objection because It places the power to determine public necessity and the discretion to act entirely In the President’s hands, whereby danger to small Industries or to any other Innocent Interests could be avoided.—St. Paul Globe. Not Afraid of Roosevelt. New Jersey's Governor defends the big brood of trusts within that State, attacking Roosevelt ns n demagogue who needlessly alarms the people by questioning the power of the nation to deal adequately with Its own. Of course New Jersey should fight for Its wards, but the Governor's premise Is wholly wrong—Roosevelt has never alarmed anybody, even the trusts themselves, by his recommendations.— St. Louis Republic. A Peculiar Financial Policy. The established policy of the Republican party Is to tax the people more than Is necessary In order to create a surplus to lend to the banks without interest, so that the people can borrow It back by paying Interest. This Is financßrlng, and Is the result long ago predicted In theae columns of the mas* ter workings of the Republican financiers.—Cincinnati Enquirer.

MANY SEIZED BY PEST

PERSONS IN ALL PART® OF THE UNITED BTATES AFFLICTED. It la Claimed that There Are 50,000 Cases of the Dread Disease Throughout the Country—Epidemic Is Alarming In Several State*. “Sfljallpox Is more widely spread over the United State* than ever before and the disease is of the deadliest type ever known. Conservative estimates, based upon report* received from the forty five States, show that at least 50,000 persons in this country are afflicted with the malady. In some instances the death rate Is as high as 65 per cent. The epidemic is indeed alarming, as, with a continuation of cold weather, the disease will thrive nnd remain unchecked In its death-dealing,” This is a statement made by Dr. Heman Spalding, chief medical inspector Chicago health department. Chicago alone has had eighty-two cases of smallpox brought to the notice of the health department already this year. Twelve of those cases have resulted In death, rf.nst year there were 83S cases in the city, but they were of the mildest type, only four persons dying. From Jan. 1 to Feb. 19 last year there were only twenty-four cases in the Isolation hospital. To-day there are ifty-one. “The country is full of smallpox. Apd if all the cases that have come under the notice of health officers in the various States nearly every person having the disease never was vaccinated. Not one of the 727 cases of smallpox discovered In Chicago within the last four years showed marks of vaccination, as defined In our pamphlet, ‘Vaccination Creed,’ which we issued to impart information concerning the disease to doctors and the public in general. Of those 727 persons, 662 never had been vaccinated at all, though most of them claimed they had. This aversion to vaccination is a fatal absurdity. Of the remaining 65 cases 56 had old, irregular and doubtful scars, said to have been the result of vaccination. “Vaccination should be repeated until the susceptibility to vaccine is exhausted. When this is done it is Impossible to contract smallpox. This Is the protection given the employes of the health department who handle and nurse smallptx patients, and bury the dead from the disease, and in no instance, among the hundreds so employed, has any on* of these employes ever contracted smallpox.” Reports show that there Is hardly a town big enough to appear on the map that has no smallpox cases. In San Francisco to-day therfe are sixty cases. Other cities of California have all the way from two to ten, and some of them twenty. Denver has thirty-seven, while nearly every town in Colorado has its imallpox case. Some reports say that :he disease is more prevalent In Indiana *nd Minnesota, but Dr. Spalding says this Is not the fact. For instance, Indiana is given 3,000 cases and Minnesota twice that number. “The* natural inference that the epidemic centers in these two States Is erroneotis,” said Dr. Spalding, “for this reason: Those two States merely have a more thorough system of getting reports from the town and city health officers, hence their statistics are more complete. Illinois is credited only with 174 cases* Now, anyone familiar with the present smallpox epidemic knows those figure* are Incomplete. lowa is given only about 100 cases of smallpox by the reports at hand.”

NINE KILLED BY TRAIN.

High School Pupils Are Run Down in a Trolley Car. Running nt almost full rpeed, a train on the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad at Newark, N. J., crashed Into a trolley car loaded with pupils on their way to the high school. Eight or nine of those on the car, most of them young women, were killed and at least fifteen were Injured, some so badly that It Is feared they will die. The trolley car was one of the special vehicles which the North Jersey Street Railway Company runs between 8 and 9 o’clock five mornings in the week for the ■pedal accommodation of high achool pupils. It was crowded with young men and women from all parts of the dty, many of whom had transferred from other lines. The sight after the collision was sickening. Mutilated bodies of children were ■cattered in every direction. The unhurt passenger* carried the Injured children to nearby places of temporary refugo. The trolley car could not be stopped, although the motormnn appeared to make frantic efforts to do so. There were about twelve children on the front platform grouped around the motorman. It Is not known whether they hampered his movements. The frout part of the trolley car was picked up three block* down the road between the two tracks.

PULPIT AND PREACHER

The Pope has excommunicated persons seeking to creste s national church In the Philippines. The late Dr. Parker’s pulpit Bible contained the signatures of rnauy distinguished men who visited City Temple. "The church is not meant for a Sunday club,” says Coadjutor Bishop MackaySmith of the Protestant Episcopal Church of Philadelphia. According to n recent census of church attendance in New York City there la a larger attendance in the smaller churches In proportion to the membership th'un In tho large ones. The Christian Work snd Evangelist aaya that Protestant Christendom la seeking a practical basia of church union now with an earnestness not known tinea the Reformation. The Baptist congress, which assembled In Boston, discussed many subjects of social and doctrinal. Interest, among them the question of whether or not baptism la essential to church membership.

The typical Irish carman Is a person of much sagacity. One night a returned missionary took a car, In a dubious frame of mind. He had been invited to dine with some friends at the house of an acquaintance whose name he had forgotten. He only knew that his host lived bn Harcourt street. “What am I to do?” he asked of bis driver. “Never mind, sor,” was the reply. “I’ll fluil him for you.” “But you can’t You don't know his name.” “Lave it to me, sor. Lave it to me entolrely.” They drove to Harcourt street, nnd the man, beginning at the top, knocked at every door and made one Inquiry. Half-way down the street he gaily rejoined his employer, and said, “It's all right, sor. It’s here.” “How do you know?” “I asked, sor, ‘Docs the Rlvorend Mistlier Blank live here?’ And the maid said, ‘No, but he's dining here.’ ”

Just in Time.

Broadland, S. Dak., Feb. 23.—Beadle County has never been so worked up M during the last few w T eeks. Every one is talking of the wonderful case Of O. W. Gray of Broadland, the particulars of which are best told In the following statement which Mr. Gray has just published; “I was dying. I had given up all hope. I was prostrate and as helpless as a little babe. I had been ailing with Kidney Trouble for many years and it finally turned to Bright’s disease. All medicine had failed and I was in despair. “I ordered one box of Dodd’s Kidney Pills and this first box helped me out of bed. I continued the treatment till now lam a strong, well man. I praise God for the day when I decided to use Dodd's Kidney Pills." Everybody expected that Mr. Gray would die and his remarkable recovery la regarded as little short of a miracle by all who know how very low he was. Dodd's Kidney Pills are certainly a wonderful remedy.
