t! . 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.

•' 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.

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

Nothing in the Proposition.
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.
