WHEN thoughtful men and women re-
call the majestic figure OF Jesus Christ as
He event about doing good, when they
dwell upon the example OF His dignity,
the repose of His manner and His peace
ful, decorous habits, feeling OF disgust as
serts itself as they contrast that example
with the wild, dervish-like orgies OF the
Salvation Army in London, the very heart
OF civilization, the capital Of the modern
world. 4 travesty on Christianity, this
army OF fanatics ought to be suppressed
by wholesome public opinion.

Now that the Kansas City railroad is
completed the value of the trackways
along the levee and on Promenade street
is becoming more apparent, and the power
of the courts may have to be invoked be-
fore the parties to the present squabble
realize that the intention OF the City
Council in granting these rights OF way
over public highways was not TO confer
exclusive privileges on any one person or
company, but to bencft all the railroads
coming into the city.

IN another column the readers OF the
APPrAL will find the main points of the
decision OF the Supreme Court in the
civil rights cases, as delivered by Mr..
Justice Bradley. These win be found
conclusive as TO the fact that the law
and the logic are with the court, the
judgment of which was anticipated,
as we have before noted, by
Judge Brown, OF the United States
Circuit Court, in judgment delivered \
him in this city, in 1--WE belieye) Charles,
Ap railroad case. This decision also justi-
fiesfhe position taken on this subject by
The press Of the South and the Democratic
press of the North and by the national
Democratic party. Neither the Federal
nor State governments can interfere with
the social rights Of the people, and the
United States cannot, without violation
ef the constitution, interfere with the
fo'Ic tfsirs Of the States.

of another triumph for the Memphis

STOPPED THE WRONG TRAIN.
AttemPs to Rob tho Express the
Iron Mountain Road

ST. LouIs, October 25.-The Posi- DIS
patch's special from Walnut Ridge. Ark,
says: An attempt was made to rob the
north-bound express train on the Iron
Mountain road last nigh: about 10 o'clock,
between O'kean and Delaplaine, fifteen
miles north Of this place. Fortunately
the express train was late, and the local
freight was running on the time of the ex-
press. The local was signaled by three
lanterns. When stopped it was boarded
by party of six men, all heavily armed.
After a few questions they found that
they had stopped the wrong train, and
passed into the woods with many curses,
but without molesting anything or any,
body. The conductor OF the local telc-
graphed Roadmaster Griffin at this place,
who summoned posse OF citizens, headed
by John Rhea, and accompanied by
United States Marshal O. Ii. Wheeler,
went north on the belated express, eager
for fight with the robbers but no further
attempt was made to rob the train. The
robbers were all large men. from thirty to
forty years old, and wore heavy overcoats.
They carried in the party common Ian
terms, were apparently well organized and
seemed TO know their business. Every
effort is being made to capture then.
