The commissioners owe it to themselves and
tho public to withhold permit for this pur-
pose until new company can be organized
whose mains may be laid at the same
time, so that the people may have the
benefit of competition. Within the next five
years large part of the city will undoubt-

The monotonous argument still goes on in
the democratic papers that the benefits of
emancipation have been neutralzed by the
refusal to put colored men in leading Offices,
and that the condition of a slave was far pre-
ferable to sixty dollars month as a govern
ment laborer where, from choice or otherwise
the laborer blacks private boots and shoes
grstuitously. The democratic party, which is
kept together chiefly through hatred of ne
gros and anger at their emancipation, is OF
course sincere in its expressions of regret that
they are not more generally installed in high
official places.

OLD POINT COMFORT April 13.-It is
balmy hero without being very warm, and
pleasure yachts are rocking at anchor in front
of the Hygeia hotel. Pierre Lorilard's yacht
is now in sight, and a beautiful one, owned
by Mr.. Graham, of Baltimore, is coming in.
Dinners, suppers and lunches on board are
part of the gay life here just now. w. F.Weld,
jr.,grandson of the Boston millionaire who died
and left will that skipped one generation,
is here. He is just turned 21, and by tho
terms of the will has come into his great for
tune. His grandmother, widow of tho orig
inal w. f., is also here. That curious will
divided thirty millions among the grand
children, leaving nothing to the children.
This happy young man, who is now here with
his yacht, is the oldest. The other two are 6
and 0, and when little Miss Isabel Perkins,
the youngest, comes to the age of 81, she will
begin with million for every year and two
to spare.
The gossips agree that the most attractive
girl here is Bostonian, with silvery voice.
a well-poised head, and highly cultivated
mind.
Mr.. John Garrett, the railroad magnate, is
here, conspicuous for his silvery hair and
genial manner.
Bishop Penick, whose territory is the whole
of Africa, is also here, resting and pondering
over the welfare of the 205, 100000 souls in his
care.
The young ladies are in a futter of antici-
patton waiting for the President. A bachelor

A PRESS dispatch from Springfield, ILL.,,
speaks of Thomas Waldron as having been
"shot by the striking iron workers" This
is loose, misleading, and unjust statement.
The shooting was from an ambush. If the
murderer was member of the iron associa-
ton engaged in the strike, which is not
known to be so, it is not at all probable that
"tbe striking iron workers" encouraged, de-
sired, or promoted such crime. Crime
should be charged only on its perpetrators
and not on numerous and respectable class
to which they belong.

Completing "The American eonrlet.n

Practical business experience is bringing
about great change in the political inclina-
tions of the south. From time immemorial
the people of the cotton states have been more
or less inimical to those of New England be-
cause of her attitude concerning the tariff
and because of the power which was inherent
in the wealth of her manufactures. The south
has been clamorous for free trade, while the
eastern states have demanded protection for
their industries. A revolution of sentiment
has of late been growing in the south, COM
mensurate with the growth ofindustries, SINH
lar to those which have made New England
so potent in national affairs. Men of capital,
energy, and thrift have built and put in ope-
ration a number of completely equipped
cotton mills, and the development Of the man
ufacturing interest has been remarkably
rapid during the last five years Purchasing
the raw materials from the first hands at the

KICKING AT A NEW RULE.
Dist. Atty. Bliss on an Errnnd OF AmiCa-
BILE Disagreement.

Die Disagreement.
There is law point in the Dakota land
scrip fraud cases of importance everywhere,
and Mr.. w. II. Bliss, of st. Louis, United
States district attorney, has arrived here with
view of bringing about supreme court
ruling. Judges McCreery and Treat have
decided that defendants in criminal cases can
take depostions. This is an entirely new
rule and is radical departure in criminal
practice. In the present case IL would require
that Mr.. Bliss should leave st. Louis and
travel all over the country or prepare q full
history of the case for the district attorney in
every district where depositions are to be
taken. What makes the matter more en-
barrassing is the fact that Judges Nc
Creery and Treat decided that it was
not necessary for the defendants TO file in ap-
vance list of interrogatories with the court.
1t will be impossible, therefore, for the prose-
cutting officer to know beforehand what direc-
tion the examination will take, and, in
addition TO this, there is @ strong feeling
among judges and attorneys against the en-
ployment of depositions in criminal cases.
Much is held to depend upon the witnesses
manner, and unless the attorney prosecuting
the case can be present when the deposit
tion is taken the Cross-examination
cannot always be depended on as being
thorough. As, in the present case,
the circuit and district judges concur, the
district attorney had no chance to take an
appeal to the supreme court. But the right
of defendant in a criminal trial TO have de-
positions taken has also come up in the United
States court in Georgia, and Mr. Bliss came
here to consult with the department of JUS
tice in regard to getting an appeal from
Georgia, by which means the question could
be settled by the supreme court and settled
against Judges McCroery and Treat as gov
ernment prosecuting officers hope. The
Georgia case is to be argued in a few weeks, and
If the circuit and district judges will be kind
enough to disagree, or can be induced to dis
agree, the desired appeal can be taken. The dis
trict attorney in Georgia has been telegraphed
to come here and consult with Mr.. Bliss and
the department of justice with view to see
ing what can be done. The question is one Of
very great interest to the courts and the bar,
and it is deemed of great Importance to the
government that the supreme court should
reverse the decision in st. Louis. While Mr..
Bliss speaks of the latter as an entire revolu-
tion in the practice of the courts Of the coun-
try and of England, the fact is recalled that
when Gen. Baboock was on trial in St. Louis
for completely with the whisky ring frauds

One speaker fell into the error of stating that

the fact that the law was passed in 1868 when
