THE CALIFORNIA EARTHQUAKE. h Id the effort to grasp tlio full slg- j, nlflcnnco of yestorday's frightful die- J. aster at San Francisco, the human , mind Is staggered. The greatest ties- l' (flatten over wrought In the United < States by a seismic upheaval Is In It self appalling, but when with It Is couplod the loss of huudrods, possibly thousands, of lives, full comprehen sion of thc-extent of the horror Is lm- possible. San Francisco rnnkB ninth In popu- I latlon among the cities of the United J States, and Is one of the wealthiest communities on the North American ij continent. It has long been consld- ■> ered one of the most bcnttUful of the t.-’, earth's cities of modern construction. I'v and.ltB commerce reaches to every florner of the globe. flT (As In all cases of great disaster, first .: e imports o? the loss of life In San Fran cisco wore greatly exaggerated, though ■ tho. dentil list already runs Into the ' hundreds. U appears, however, that m the estimates of property loss Issued l yesterday were not far wide of the ? mark. ■ While , many buildings were Coin ’S pletsly demolished by the force of the £ enrthquuke shocks, by far the greater v destruction of property resulted from * , the ensuing: conflagrations, which de li veloped simultaneously In different J. sections of the stricken city. The wa ter mains were burst by the shocks, J and the firemen were reduced to the I extremity of employing high explos- Ives.for the removal of combustible debris ffom the path of the flumes, f - . dt :will be several days before the 9 ' (jOTiipleti' story of the great California CHAUTAUQUA AND THE BAR ROOMS. Wo publish olsewhere In today's Herald a letter from Judge H. C. Shef field, of Arlington, who makes the complaint that the trains leaving Al bany during Chautauqua week—more particularly on Military Day — aro crowded with drunken men who are a menace to sober and peaceable people, especially women and children, who hare to ride on the same trains. Reference Is made by Judgo Shef field to a complaint on this same sub ject which was made by him through the Arlington Courier last year and to a letter which the editor of The Her ald wrote to the then editor of the Courier about it. For the information of Judgo Sheffield and any others who may not know how the letter referred to came to be wrltton to the editor of the Courier, we will state that the lat ter wrote to tho editor of The Herald, culling attention to tho communica tion of Judge Sheffield and calling up on tho editor of The Herald, both In his capacity as the editor of this pa per and tut an official of tho Goorgla Chautauqua, to have the barrooms of Albany closed, as the only means of putting a stop to the evil complained of—drunken and disorderly men on the trains. In this letter to tho editor of The Herald thore was an Implied threat against the Georgia Chautauqua and a disposition, as we thought, to make that Institution the moral cus todian of those who come to Albany during Chautauqua week. It was In this view of the case that the editor of The Herald replied to his brother editor at. Arlington and suggested that It was unfair to the Georgia Chautau qua, a purely moral, rollglous and In tellcctual Institution, to make a de mand upon It to do the things required of aud exercise the authority vested In the officers of the law. We may also hnvo suggested that we knew of none In position or better qualified to Institute the reform demanded or to deal In an effectual way with tho evil complained of than Judge Sheffield himsolf, the presiding Judge of the Pnutaula circuit. But we accept Iti all good faith t)ie statement of Judge Sheffield that ho Is not unfriendly to the Chautauqua aud that neither his communication of a year ago nor the letter which we are publishing today was written in any such spirit. It Is unreasonable to ex pect the Chautauqua Association to have the barrooms of Albany closed on Military Duy or on any other day of Chautauqua week, however, for the reason that It Is not In position to ex ercise either police, judicial or execu ♦ live powers. We do not question the s[ element trains are passing through their re spective counties and seeing that they aro arraigned In the courts afterwardB. This would give our friend Judge Shef field a chance to punish, If not to per manently reform, some of the offend ers. [» ■ ' 4 •' disaster Is known. Many wild stories ;! m which have been set afloat have no tetter foundation than the imagina tion of irresponsible or excitable per 80DB, and it will require some time to sift the whqje mass and And the truth, 1 But ^sufficient is already known to establish beyond the shadow of doubt the fact that the disaster takes its itface in history as one of the greatest In, the history of the North American continent, and one of the greatest the world has ever known. The Savannah Press seems to think it has probably found the “paramount Issue” in the present state campaign. It says: "The Albany Herald is the InteBt paper to advertise for the para mount IsBUe In this campaign. It looks like the disfranchisement ques tion was it. At least, it was In Em anuel county on Monday." THE HERALD'S CHAUTAUQUA EDITION. A 8plendid Paper. From the Vienna News We have with pleasure read the Chautauqua edition of the Albany Herald. It is a splendid paper and re flects great credit on that town, and is far ahead'of anything like it ever issued from a city much larger than Albany. THIS DATE IN HISTORY.

It Took Work. From the Marietta J oar mil. The Chautauqua edition of The Al bany Dally Herald was a highly cred itable paper. It takes work and a heap of it to get out such an excellent edition. At this time, and at this distance, it looks like the San Francisco earth quake and fire will go down in history as the greatest disaster that has ever i -been visited upon any community in .this country. Although the loss of life . js not so great, the loss of property goes beyond that inflicted by the Gal- E! veston flood. •Fhe. Marietta Chautauqua, it seems, tial gone to sleep. The Marietta Jour nal says: "Albany, Ga., Chautauqua opens Aptfl 22 to 29 inst Marietta’s Chautauqua sleeps quietly after a well epent life and money. We sigh for another one. ft. that drunken men on the crowded trains running into and out of Albany during Chautauqua week, and more es pecially on Military Day, are a menace to sober and respectable people, but the closing of the barrooms of Albany would not be, within itself, an effective remedy for the evil. The trains tlnit come into Albany, bring drunken men who get their liquor at home, and as evidence'of this fact empty whiskey flasks and bottles bearing the labels of dispensaries in some of the coun ties of Judge Sheffield's circuit are in evidence all along the line of the rail road and in the alleys and screened places In Albany. The men who want liquor to drink get it, and would con tinue to get it. whether the Albany barrooms closed or not. But the menace of which Judge Shef- tteld complains is one which should receive the attention of the good peo ple of this city and section and of the officers of the law, and to that end we are ready to pledge good faith and faithful performance of duty on the part of the officers in Albany and Dougherty county. It is now a mis demeanor for a man to appear on the public highway or on a railroad train in au intoxieuted or drunken condi tion, and we believe that we can safe ly promise to have men who get drunk in Albany during Chautauqua week and who appear at the railroad station ready to board outgoing trains in an iutoxicated condition arrested and de tained until sober. This appears to us to be the most available and only really practical remedy for the evil of which Judge Sheffield justly com plains. We would also suggest that the sheriffs might do good work in this behalf by boarding the trains themselves, or having deputies make arrests of disorderly persons while MX* SLOAN’S LINIMENT ;a cures I Rheumatism Lumbago.

From thS Marietta Journal The town of Butler was visited by two gubernatorial candidates who made speeches—one one day, and the other the next—and the next day the town caught fire and was almost com pletely destroyed. Is this a warning? —Albany kerald. If hot politica would burn up a town, then Marietta would be destroyed; so there is nothing in'the proposition. Up to the Standard of The Herald. From the Columbus Edqulrer-Sun. The Chautauqua edition of the Al bany Herald, issued last Sunday morn ing, was admirable in every respect. It is a splendid advertisement for Al bany, Dougherty county and Southwest Georgia. It was up to the standard of the Herald—which statement means much.
