THE BOND QUESTION.

A decision of the Supreme Court on
Tho bond question was reached on Fri.
day last and announced in the papers
on Saturday. Following are the points
covered by the decision:
First-That the constitutional amend.
ment Of 1880 requiring the question OF
the payment OF railroad bonds to be
submitted to the people at = general g.
lection. etc., is void, because it inpairs
the obligation Of the contract between
tho State and the bOndholder.
Second-That the act Of March 2last,
providing for the adjustment OF the
railroad bonds, is unconstitutional and
void, because 1t delegates to the trib-
unal created thereby legislative power.
Third-That the writ Of prohibition
20 restrain the tribunal from acting
Hereunder, issue as prayed.
There is a strong impression that the
Governor will call an extra session OF the
legislature to settle the vexed question
at once. It seems that those who hold

settlement may be reached on that ba'

THE POLIT1CtlSOCIAL OUTLOOK
IN MOBILES COUNTY.
SECOND PAPER

SECOND PAPER
EDITOR ADVANCE: In the early his.
tory of all places there has been a strug-
gle for life, for law and order and for e.
economy and our own county is no ex-
ception. Each settlement is of course
marked by distinctive features. but the
general course las been the same
though differing in degree.
The distinctive feature in our case is
general intelligence beyond that of
the average pioneer settlement; this,
with the true pioneer hardness and ad
aptation to circumstances, has enabled
many to bear the almost unbearable
and in some cases to live them down.
Communities having passed through
tho series Of hardships that ours has.
rarely show people with such energy
Of purpose left. Yet the effect of these
hard lines is apparent. Much as we
dislike to own it, the fact is plain that
those who should be ''neighbors" are
arrayed in opposition. This, starting
from financial ''adversity," has carried
its effects into the social and political
fields until the struggle is ripened into
war which mot loud but deep is wag-
ed without quarter. Financially it is
shown by the death like grip of the mon-
led creditor who cries to the poverty
stricken debtor ''pay me that thou ow-
est" and then proceeds to strip him of
his necessaries; his glory is not honor
but sharp trade.
Politically the struggle is shown by
the constituencies means that ''bOsses''
take to keep themselves and their fa-
vorites in paying positions. Lies be-
yond count have been hatched until the
political brood consists IT little else.
and = campaign without them would
the camp 10 corrupt? Tie wonder is
and bear it when the remedy is 50 easi-
ly applied.
Political bossism which eliminated

York collectorship fight, and whose

But Schleinan's = discoveries pale before
the wonderful uneartl'ing Of thirty

tian Thebes. A letter to the London

liable illuminated papyri have been
found with tho mummies, and innumer-
able inscriptions cover the cases, etc.,

Among the kings whose dried and

in our museums, is the veritable King
Ramses II. the Third King Of the
Nineteenth Dynasty, aud the Pharaoh
