Annexation oVi^cai Florldn i
The question of the annexation to
Alabama, of West Florida, has occa
sionally been before the people for
the past thirty years. A Birming
ham, Ala., paper again refers to the
matter as follows:
“The question of adding that por-
tion of West Florida which lies im
mediately south of Alabama to the
State, continues to be agitated, and a
measure having that end in view
will probably be brought before the
present Legislature. The people
who live there are in favor of annexa
tion, the Pensacola Commercial advo
cates it, and such an arrangement
would be entirely agreeable to the
people of Alabama.
“The naturaljiivisioir of territory
w ould suggest that the State lines be
. ^rutt^SnTbis plan, and the only reason
that Florida reaches into Alabama
after this fashion is that Florida, at
the time that the Territory of Ala
bama was organized, was a Spanish
possession.
The strip of Territory would be
quite ap acquisition to Alabama. It
is a splendid lumber region, and the
city of Pensacola is a thriving
pert, with one of the finest harbor
in the world.”
We are utterly opposed to any
dismcinberiug of the State, and if
the “strip of territory,” with the mag
nificent harbor of Pensacela would be
•‘quite an acquisition to Alabama,”
it certainly shoutd remain, as now,
valuable component portion of Flor
ida. The idea is that the Apalachi
cola river should be the Western
boundary of Florida, and the vast
territory lying west thereof be alien
ated to Alabama. Well, bow many
millions of dollars is Alabama able
and willing to give as a consideration
for the "valuable strip?” Of course
this is the first consideration to base
a trade upon—and the second is 10

Cleveland and the Street
Arabs:
A light scrap from the Washington
Post r • t
At 11:30 Mrs. Cleveland rode
slowly .down the street in an open
carriage alone. Albert Hawkins was
on the box and the seal browns in
front. The carriage stopped at the
Palais Royal. Albert wound the
reins around the whip in Democratic
style, alighted and helped Mrs. Cleve
land to do the same.
As she stepped across the sidewalk
a little ragged boy with a basket
of lavender held up his goods and
said: “Please, lady, buy a paper of
lavender.”
What is your price?” asked Mrs.
Cleveland.
Only five cents, lady,” was the
reply.
Mrs. Cleveland took a paper of
lavender seeds and put them in her
bag. Then she hunted her porte-
monnaie over and put a dime in the
little dirty paw of the small boy.
If you’ll hold my basket I’ll get
you the change,” said the soiled ur
chin.
Mrs. Cleveland laughed a merry,
girlish laugh as the “funnyness” of
the idea of the first lady of the land
holding a basket of lavender seeds
on the sidewalk ot Pennsylvania ave
nue struck her, and passed into the
big store and out of sight of half a
hundred people who had paused in
the promenade to watch her.
Another street Arab, with a string
of the “Missing Link, or Whitechapel
mystery” puzzles, around his neck,
said sometiing in the ear of the lav
ender boy.
“No!” gasped the lavender Arab.
“Sure pop,” said the puzzle Arab.
“Well, doggone my buttons,” said
the lavender Arab, looking regretfully
at the door where Mrs. Cleveland
had disappeared and then at the 1
dime in his black claw, “If I’d er
knowed th&t I’d frev gev it to her fer
nothin’.”

N. Man'. Land*
A correspondent of the New York
Sun has written a history of the
famous -No Man*s Land.” This
strip of land was once a part of Mex
ico, then a part of the Republic oi
Texas, but, by some curious over-
sight, it has been ignored by law
makers and is without law or legal
restrictions. The strip covers over
3,700,000 acres of land and has a
population ot over 7,000. The strip
is a refuge for criminals, who, if they
behave themselves and refrain from
crime not condemned by public sen
timent, are perfectly safe from legal
molestation. Bat woe to the roan
who incurs the displeasure ofjhe
people of “No Man’s Land.” His
days will surely be few and his body
full of bullets.
It would seem that Congress should
take “No Man’s Land” in hand and
provide for the establishment of a
system of laws for the protection of
the people who live on the strip of
land- The 7,000 people who inhabit
“No Man’s Land” are citizens of the
United States, and are entitled to the
same protec-ion that is afforded other
citizens ot the Government.

Birmingham, Ala., Jan. 23.—What
believed to be the crater of an ex
tinct volcano has been discovered in
Red Mountain, two miles from this
ciiy. For sometime the Elyton land
company has been at work on a new
system of water works. Water will
be brought from Cahaba river, twelve
miles away, and a tunnel 2,200 feet
in length is being dug under Red
mountain. Three hundred feet from
the west he«nding of the tunnel, and
two hundred feet below the surface of
the mountain, the workmen to-day
struck an immense opening, which
has every appearance of being
crater oi a long extinct volcano.
The opening is about 15 by 50 feet,
and huge pieces of stone thrown in
to this hollow, disappeared and can
not be heard to strike any bottom,
On the side of she opening there is
a small spring of hot water, which
has a strong smell and taste of sul
phur. The engineer in chargo of
the work says the rock formation in
and around this opening clearly indi
cate that a volcano once existed
there. The remarkable discovery
has excited no little interest.

The number of deaths in Enterprise
was given me by the secretary of. the
board of health—possibly it ought to
he one or two more. In Jacksonville
and Fernandina, on the contrary,I have
been assured that deaths were report
ed as from yellow fever that were in
reality from other causes. Green Cove
Springs protests that it had no yellow
fever, aod very likely it had n^ne.
Eilavillc was at one time said to Jlave
fever, but it is most probable Jftat it
was a mistake. Where^jr black
vomit was seen the exifltetM&of yellow
fever was at once inferdfd, but black
vomit is no proof of yfflow fever. A
case of black yoitft came under my
own observation last summer which
a post Mortem examination proved to
be pfie of abscess of the liver, and in
S Arcy, Arkansas, a number of persons
had black vomit with malaria fever.

Ruined l*y Freedom
A correspondent of the New Yoik
Sun furnishes some interesting facts
about Hayti.
Long years ago Hayti was the
must flourishing country in the Antil
les, The white planters owned mar
ble country houses and fine town
mansions. The blacks were well ta
ken care of as slaves, and their work,
under the intelligent direction of
their masters, was very productive.
With freedom came a different
state of affairs. The whites left, and
the blacks tried the experiment of
self government. The country is
now reduced to poverty, the cities
are ruined and many of the great
plantations abandoned. The annual
exports have fallen from $60,000,000
to $15,000,000.
The inhabitants are about as igno
rant as they were in the days of sla
very. They have lost what religion
they had, and practice the rites of
voudooisra, including cannibalism.
The roads are in such a bad condi
tion that passengers and freight have
to be carried on the backs of mules
and horses. Revolutions are frequent
and distinctive, and the government
is growing more corrupt,
Undoubtedly the blacks of Hayti
have been ruined by freedom and
the withdrawal of the whites. Eman
cipation alone would not have, re
duced them to then present condition
if a superior race had remained in
their midst to control them, but they
have shown that by themselves they
cannot progress and prosper.
The history of Hayti is full of in
structive lessons, and the students of
the race problem cannot afford to
pass them by.—Constitution.
A Proposed Good Law.
Senator Frank Rice, of Atlanta,
says he intends preparing a bill to
provide against others than tax pay
ers voting. “My plan,” says Mr.
Rice, ‘ is to make the tax receiver’s
books the registration list in Fulton
county. When a citizen pays his
taxes the receiver enters his name as
having so paid, and that amounts to
his registration, This list must be
filed in its proper precinct, so as to
serve as a complete registration list.
If his name appears on the tax books
it is hardly likely that he will be chal
lenged, but if he should be, his tax
receipt would be his registration tick
et. But I do not think it would be
necessary to carry tax receipts to the
polls, as the tax receiver’s list could be
made conclusive evidence * of his
right to vote.”
When asked if such a tax could be
passed, the Senator replied: I think
so—I am certain of it. I shall have
it ready for the summer session, and
will push it through. As it is now,
if a man wishes, he can swear he has
paid his tax, and register. I have
seen a dozen men do so in a single
precinct. Making the tax receiver’s
books the registration list, will stop
all this, and all illegal voting.—Amer
icas Recorder.
A Famous Regiment.
In Us work on Gibralter, Dr.
Field gives a very interesting sketen
of a famous English regiment, the
South Staffordshire, then stationed at
Gibralter, which had gone. Through a
series of campaigns reaching over
not only many years but almost two
centuries. As Dr. Field says, the
history of this regiment is worth the
telling, if it were only to show of what
stuff the British an»y is made,
and how the traditions of a particu
lar corps passing down from sire to
son, remrin its perpetual glory and
insp'ration. The regixent was or
ganized in the reign of Qacen Anne,
when Marlborough led her troops
to foietgn wa^s. For sixty years it
did s-rvice in the Westlndics. Re
turning home in I765.it was station-
Ireland until the cloud began
to darken over the American colo
nies, when it was one of the first
corps dispatched across the Atlantic.
It fought at Bunker Hill, and was
afterwards ordered to New York,
where it remained until the close of the
war, being, after that, stationed for sev
eral years in Nova Scotia. It next
served again in the West Indies, and
then at the Cape of Good Hope. It
next took part in the storming and
capture of Montevideo) and fought at
Buenos Ayres. It was with Sir John
Moore when ho fell at Corunna, and
f jllowed the Iron Duke through Spain!
It took part in the great battle of Sala
manca. and in the siege and storming
of San Sebastian. It helped to make
the campaign of 1813 14 in the south
of France. After the fall of Napoleon
it returned home, bat on his return
from E ba was immediately ordered
back to the continent, and arrived at
Ostend too late to take part in the bat
tle of Waterloo, but joined the army
and marched with it to Paris. In
1819 it was again at the Cape of Good
Hope .fighting the Kaffir*, from which
it went to India, and hence to Burmab,
where it served in the war of 1824 26,
during which the American mission
ary, Judson, was subjected to sush
cruelties. After spending ten yeari in
Bengal the regiment was called home
and was statimed successively in the
Ionian Islands, Jamaica, Honduras and
Nova Seotia. It fought in the Crimea
at Alma and Inkenuan and through
the riege of Sebastopol. When the
Indian mutiny broke out, by forced
marches it reached Cawnpore in time
to defeat the Sepoy army. Then it
marched to Lucknow, and were part of
the fiery host that stormed the Kaiser*
Bagh, where it suffered fearful lo:s;
after which iu the campaign in Onde

bruut of the fighting at Kirbekau, in

and the colonel of the regiment both
fell. “Such,” 6ay8 Dr. Field, “is the
story of 150 year?. Of the 184 years

The Atistraliuu System of
VotlUK.
A correspondent sends us the fol
lowing communication:
Editors Constitution: What
is the Austrailian system of voting,
which I see has been adopted by
Massachusetts, and what, in yout
opinion, are its .advantages?”
Voter.
In brief, the Austrailian system of
voting—so called because the system
originated in Austrailia—requires
that the names of all candidates be
placed on every ticket, and that the
voter designate, by a check apposite
one of the names oi the candidates
for whom he wishes his vote to be
counted. Opposite the names of the
candidates are the names of the par
ties to which they respectively belong.
Tickets are officially prepared, and
on the back of each is an indorse
ment, by stamp or signature, identify
ing the ballot as official. The ballot
box is not accessible to any one but
ihe election managers and the voters,
who are required to come singly and
prepare their ballot in secret,
case the voter cannot read, an offi
cial prepares the ballot for him
according to his direction.
The system has its advantagss, as
wejl as its disadvantages, but it
appears that it carries the matter of
election reform too far. It possesses
certain meritorious features which
would no doubt improve our system
if they were incorporated in the laws
now governing . our elections. For
instance, there are many reasons why
the ballot box should be kept away
from the crowd which usually sur
rounds it, and why voters should be
allowed to approach it unaccompa
nied by “heelers,” who some times
succeed in making the act. of voting
an effort of misery.
But we don’t see how any harm
can arise out of our present ticket
system, by which the voter has the
right to select any one at a number
of tickets. The state should have
nothing to do with the printing of
election tickets, and its supervision
should only extend to the guarantee
that every man has the privilege of
voting as he wants to, in peace and
comfort, and that every ballot should
be counted. A system based on such
ideas would have many advantages
over the Australian system.—Consti
tution.
