RIVERSIDE RAILROAD.

Gen. J. Floyd King, the accomplish
ed and thorough working Congress
man of the Fifth Louisiana District,
passed through our city last evening
on bis way to New York in the inter-
est of the Baton Rouge, Vidalia and
Little Rock Railroad. If he displays
his usual energy and talent to this
enterprise, we look for it's success.
This is an important road to our sister
State, passing through a country un-
surpassed in fertility icksurgb
Herald.
We had occasion, some time ago,
on the way to New Orleans, to be in
the company of Gen. King, who then
advanced the idea which the above
paragraph shows he has begun to push
forward with the energy which char
acterizes him.
The Generals idea is to traverse the
rich lands of the parishes lying on the
west side Of the Mississippi, all the
way from Baton Rouge and through
the Arkansas line to Little Rock.
1t is impossible to find more fer
tile country, Astounding with the finest
timber and every other resource, than
the one through which Gen. King
proposes to establish his line. The
section to be traversed is thickly
populated by an intelligent and thrift
ty people.
Such a road would render it an
easy matter to protect the levees and
insure::those wonderfully productive
alluvial lands against overflow.
We doubt not that Gen. King will
receive the unanimous support Of the
people in the efforts his we'll known
public spirit is prompting him to
make.
We cordially endorse his project.

neither the God Of the rich man nor
Of the poor. # anything, He Is the
God Of the latter.
And the industrious poor owe their
labor during the week to the support
Of their families. Who can, with JUS
tice, say that God would have them
neglect their work for pleasure during
the week Z
If not, would the justice Of God de-
prive them Of pleasures which are not
sinful in the week, because they can
not 60 to them except on Sunday!
"citizenn claims that he has 14OO
followers in this community. Surely,
he cannot sustain his estimate by the
small number Of signers, some forty,
to the document sent to the Army Of
Tennessee, asking for a change Of
day.
We respect the convictions Of every
man, woman or child, but will always
oppose any movement whatsoever on
the part Of any sect, to compel others
to do as they arrogantly and unchari-
tably lay down as the rule which ought
to govern a community composed of
people who entertain q variety of
ideas and convictions.
Baton Rouge, the Capital Of Louis
lana, belongs to the people of the en-
tire State. There the Jews, the Chris
tians Of all denominations and ideas
must have the right to exercise them,
so long as their actions are permitted
by the laws.
What the law allows on Monday or
on Thursday, cannot be considered
wrong or sinful on the Sabbath except
by those who choose to think so; and
those have, in that case, a perfect
right to abstain.
"Citizen" says that he has seen no
answer to "his protest"
In the first place, protest is never
considered one unless it is signed by
its author. Truth and Justice pro-
testing before mankind, seek no cloak.
They appear sans pem ct sans re-
procie in the broad sunlight.

PERRY, Houston County, Ga Jan. %, 1880.
In the year 1873, there were two negro pris.
oners confined in the jail of this county, who
were very badly afflicted with that loathsome
disease Syphilis. In my official capacity az
Ordinary | employed Capt G. 7. Swift, then a
resident Of this place, to cure them, under a
contract, mo cure, no pay" He administered
to them his celebrated Syphilitic Specific, and
in few weeks felt bound, under my contract,
to pay him out Of the county treasury, as he
had effected complete and racical cure.

Lieut.. Gov. Tabor, of Colorado, owns
from four to eight millions, all acquired
within four years. But his sudden
wealth was preceded by eighteen years
of poverty, deprivation and struggle for
himself and his wife. They went West
from Maine during the Pixies Peak en-
element, spent all their money, found
no gold, and thereafter roughed it in
border settlements. In 1377 he bought
in Denver S250o worth of goods for a
Leadville store, and tried to induce the
firm to take half the Little Pittsburg
claim in payment, but they preferred
to take his note. That mine yielded
him $50, 900 in three months, and even
tually sl,300,O0O.

A cave named after Perry is one Of the
attractions of Put-in-Bay. 1t is said
that Perry hid himself and army in the

hiding only exists in the mind of the

in showing people through it for fifteen
cents head. A brother OF John Brown
lives as u hermit there.

There is an outcry against mutilated
coin all over the country. Some Of the
banks positively refuse to accept gold
or silver pieces that have been tempered
with, either by clipping the edge or by
punching holes in them. In either case
Il certain amount of value has been alb
stracted from the piece, and it is not
worth what it was worth.

ANOTHER OPINION OF THE sun.
DAY EXCURSION.
BATON ROUGE. AUG. Cd. 1919


EDITOR CAPITOLIAN.-I desire an
opportunity to communicate, through
the columns of your paper, from a
liberal standpoint, my view relative
to the absorbing topic lately SO mop
portunely thrust upon the attention
of our community. 1t is not my pur-
pose to present this as reply to the
article appearing in the columns of
the Advocate, nor do | desire to ini-
tiate controversy concerning the
right or the wrong of the premises
assumed by the author. wish, sim
ply to express my opinions, as an in
dividual, upon a question that, in
various ways and shapes, ever and
anon, recurs to cause agitation and
excitement in many communities in
all sections of the country.
In almost all instances, however,
the useless and fruitless introduce
ton Of controversies of church dog
mas, that are inconsistent with the
spirit of our institutions, and inhar-
monious with the almost universal
tendency of the broad enlightenment
and the liberal sentiment of the age
in which we live, occurs in other and
remote sections, where, in the ear
lier or colonial history Of this nation,
the fires Of religious intolerance shed
their lurid light and their smouldering
embers still, at times, rekindle.
That the baleful spirit of religious
fanaticism has exhibited it's fierce AS
pect in this community has surprised
many, and that it could find express
sion, and vehement advocacy, has as
founded those who appreciate the
large-hearted liberality and broad
liberation for which the Southern
people are renowned. The feelings,
motives and impulses that inspire
and actuate such sentiments here are
of the same origin and have the same
purposesa as actuated the old Puritans,
who would not permit any enjoy
ment of freedom in religious convic-
ions, and smacks of the same puri-
tanical bigotry that sent a Roger Will
liams in exile and made a loving, du-
tiful husband a felon for engaging in
the laudable pastime of kissing his
wife.
The consideration of this subject
simply resolves itself into the propo-
sition, that the day which is now
called the Sabbath, was instituted for
the benefit Of man, by affording him
brief respite from his tolls and the
recuperation Of his physical vigor and
health by means of rational, innocent
recreation or, conversely, was inten-
ded as an additional weight to his
already heavy burden of tolls and
cares, and the Gilman Of his punish
ment, for being compelled to mork on
account Of the sin Of om unworthy
progenitor. Adam. These rigid re-
quirements for the scrupulous reli-
gious observance of the Sabbath-or
Sunday. as the Sabbath-are the re-
suits of human bigotry and fanatic
zeal, for which there is no precedent

Laying aside the aundeniable fact,
that the day now observed By the
christian churchesis not the Sabbath
ordained and instituted By the Su-
preme Being we all worship and love,
/ affirm that there is no evidence that
the first day Of the week was ever
observed, as the Sabbath, or ordained
and established as a season Of rest
and worship, BY Jesus, or his disci-
pies.
Nor is there any evidence that the
Sabbath, as then observed by the
peculiar people the Jews, was
characterized by the enforcement Of
such restrictions as were introduced
by puritanism, nor that the pure and
wise founder Of christianity ever en-
joined their adoption by his followers.
tits narrated that "Jesus went on
the Sabbath day through the corn,
and his disciples, being an hungered,
began to pluck the ears Of corn, and
to eat" The Pharisees of that era,
in their religious zeal and bigoted ad-
herence to the forms of their faith,
censured and denounced them, as the
Pharisees of the nineteenth century
would, in like manner, protest!
Of the necessity Of a day set apart
for rest and worship, and of it's great
benefits to toiling men and women,
all are cognizant and all rational
minds acknowledge. But while ia
vorable to the observance of Sunday
as day of worship, of innocent re-
creation and of moral and intellectual
improvement, EAST majority of the
people of the United States are ad-
verse to the enforcement of restric-
tions introduced by the puritanism
of the dead past, that would forcibly
dispossess men Of the right to select
their own mode of worship or enjoy
ment of the day. The command
ment, though it forbids work, does not
prohibit recreation.
All these efforts of a few over-reli
glous zealots and bigots, to compel
the great masses to submit to the
restrictions and limitations they
would impose, in order to direct and
control the minds and actions of 9TH
ers according to the standards and
codes and creeds they have adopted,
are prompted by an inerdinate ambi-
ton to seem possessed of self-right-
eousness that has no foundation.
And, like the Pharisees of old, while
they insist upon the rigid observance
of the smaller external forms, they
"omit the @eightier matters of the
law, judgment, mercy and faith y and
while they, indeed, "appear beauti-
full outward, are within, full of dead
mems bones, and of all uncleanness,"

MINES AND MINING.

SUNDAY Nov. PIP. NJ.
The dealings at the Mining Stock Exchanges
during last week were no more encouraging IMAM
were those Of the preceding week. Almost every
prominent stock that is dealt in showed further I'M
pOrtant depressons, and the few partial recoveries
that were made were insignificant Indications,
however were not wanting that there was some
good buying of particular stocks, and some OF the
conservative of the operators begin to talk Of
a sharp and active upward movement in
prices at not distant day. The San
Francisco markets were rs depressed as
were our local markets until Friday evening.
Saturdays early prices showed n sharp advance,
and the closing quotations showed that the early
figures were fully sustained. The November delin-
quents on assessments were unusually large and IL
is probable that the San Francisco market was de-
pressed in anticipation of the sales OF delinquent
stock That operation being now pretty well closed
up il is possible that Yesterday marked the turning
point in both the San Francisco and New-I0rk mar
kets.
