The great overflow of the Black
Warrior river in Alabama has swept
away all the corn and fodder in that
rich valley, and 30,000 bales of cot-
ton. The planters are ruined and
the merchants will lose very heavily.
The refusal of President Diaz to
accept the resignation of General
Canales indicates a determination on
his part to stand by the treaty. If
lie attempts to do so it will result in
a revolution, and that may end in
establishing a protectorate over
Mexico. This measure-was ably ad-
vocated by Gen. Houston years ago
in the United States Senate.
The Shreveport Times of the 22d
in an article on the improvement of
Ked Hiver, calls upon the represen-
tatives in congress from Texas to
aid in procuring an appropriation of
$200,000. It is the only way to pre-
vent the extortions of the railroads.
With permanent low water naviga-
tion in Bed River all railroad lines
Would reduce their freights, and ev-
ery merchant and farmer in Texas
would m this way be benefited.
A special dispatch to the Galves-
ton Hews says that Gen. Canales
and his whole regiment have resign-
ed rather than put into execution
the treaty for the extradition of
Mexican raiders.
A collision between the military
authorities now seems inevitable.
The people of Mexico will not per-
mit their government to surrender
the border raiders, and nothing is
left for the United States but to go
over and arrest them on Mexican
territory. The Texas border must
bo protected from these depreda-
tions even at the cost of war.
are the people to do, when they are
brought to the verge of starvation.
Trouble will grow out of this move-
ment.
The nation is a great creditor as
Well as debtor. The six Pacific
railroads—Union, Central, South-
ern, Kansas, Sioux City and Western
* owe it $92,636,751, which pays no
interest until maturity in 1896.
We clip the above paragraph from
the Hew York Sun, which has a
high reputation for accuracy in the
statement of facts. We had no idea
that government aid had been ex-
tended to that extent upon roads
looking to the Pacific as their west-
ern termini. Will these subsidies
be used as precedents for or against
aiding the Texas and Pacific, we
shall see.
CISTERNS.
It is very difficult to construct
cisterns so that they will hold water,
and aiso prevent water from seep-
ing in them. The water which
seeps through the ground and lime-
stone rocks in this city, is very im-
pure, for it contains the elements of
all the filth which it takes from the
surface, and cannot fail to produce a
great deal of sickness, especially low
forms of fever. The blood is con-
taminated by it, and the constitution
broken down. The water which
seeps in a cistern, is very little bet-
ter than that taken from a sewer.
The only material we have found
that would keep water from go-
ing out, or coming into a cis-
tern, is pure sea sand and hy-
draulic cement, without the
admixture of any other dirt or sand.
It should be mixed in small quanti-
ties and applied rapidly, as it sets
quickly and becomes as hard as a
rock. The effect of water is to
harden the cement still more.
Cistern water when caught in the
winter, is the purest and healthiest
water we can use.
The health of a community de-
pends more upon the water than the
atmosphere, for more impurities are
taken into the system with water
than air. We hope our physicians
and city authorities will do all in
the if power to direct and control
public opinion in this matter. Seep
water in cisterns is a nuisance and a
fruitful source of disease.
local
interest or personal feeling to divide
us.
The Cincinnati Enquirer has in-
terviewed senator Spencer, of Ala-
bama, who charges Ilayes with sell-
ing out his party. The ingratitude
of Hayes, and the responsibility of
the republican party for carpet bag
rule in the south, is thus forcibly
presented:
_ “Not a word has been uttered by
him in recommendation or apology
of a set of men who, whatever the
issue of their experiment, carried
out the intention of the authors of
the reconstruction measures, which
Was to establish the republican par-
ty in the south. Ho reconstruction
measures would have been passed,
except upon the understanding that
somebody should organize the par-
ty under them.”
The Detroit Free Press gives a
thrilling and graphic description of
the fastest railroad time in America,
111 miles in 109 minutes, and on one
stretch six miles were made in five
minutes. This extraordinary speed
was attained on the Canada South-
ern railroad, beating by three min-
utes the run of Vanderbilt’s special
train. W7e make the following ex-
tract descriptive of the scene and
the sensation:
Before one could point out an ob-
ject it had vanished. Before a ques-
tion could be asked and answered a
mile had sped; five miles were tra-
versed in the interval while cigars
wore handed around and lighted by
as many men. A flock of black-
birds flying toward the west with all
their fleetness in cleaving the ad-
ware soon left behind and lost to
view.
The wires on the telegraph poles
swung up and down from the move-
ment of the train. The bushes on
the side of the ditches shook as if
swept by a hurricane, and the tall
and gaudy yellow coxcombs that
grew beside the fe riles bent to the
ground in a seemingly overpower-
ing desire to get loose from the earth
and follow the rushing train. The
While unity is so essential, we
find that all the elements of disaffec-
tion are combining under the capti-
vating name of independent, and it
would be well for the people who
wish to maintain the integrity of
our party, to weigh well the utter-
ances of the independents.
The Standard as an exponent of
democratic principles will stand by
the party and support its nominees,
at the same time exercising that in-
dependence of party leaders, which
is so necessary for the protection of
the rights of the people. By party
leaders we do not mean the standard
bearers selected by the party, but
self-constituted leaders and cliques.
As we have before stated we do
not intend to descend to the low
position of the mere partizan, but
shall deal fairly with our opponents,
and when we deem it advisable, ex-
pose the misdeeds of our own offi-
cials. It is too often the case that a
paper like an advocate, defends the
acts of those who are elected by its
party. The democratic press, rep-
resenting the party should hold to a
strict accountability the men to
whom we have delegated our pow-
ers. The press should be the organ
not of the politician but of the peo-
ple.

hold mortgage’s on farms. It is

stretched interminably in the dis-

it rushed forward created a vacuum
that apparently took nature some
seconds to overcome, and the spirits
of the passengers were exhilarated
by the unprecedented speed at which
