The Philadelphia North American

The Philadelphia North American
warns the prohibitionists that by de-
sorting the Republicans and setting
up in business for themselves they are
playing directly into the hands Of a
party from which they have nothing
TO hope and with which they have
nothing IN common. Every prohibi-
zionist of intelligence knows that, and
he ought TO know that he has most to
gain by cooperating with the party
which is prepared TO go the farthest
in his direction.

NINNEsCAH, Aug. IL, '65.
To the Editor Of the Eagle:
To-day has been red letter one in
the history of our town. A party OF
heavy swells consisting of portion Of
the directory of the Santa Fe with
several friends arrive by Green's
Cannon Ball, placed their feet under
our mahogany, ravagcd the water
melon crop and departed happy. The
party was composed of Messrs Cat
tell, Purcell, Gen. Mcdowell, Col Sew
cry, Frank Gillett, attorney and e. A.
Miller, locating engineer. Honors set
easy upon them and they were as
jolly as lot Of school boys out ON q
lark.
Mr.. Cattell, a middle aged gentle
man of clerical cast, had come dressed
to attend church and was greatly dis
appointed that no services were held.
Mr.. Cattell is capitol raconteur and
several Sunday school stories were
told small boy catechised with some
what surprising results. These gen.
tlemen have made quite an extensive
trip by stages over the regions which
contemplated extensions of the Santa
Fe are projected and express themselves
delighted over the rapid growth and
fine prospects for crops. These gen.
tlemen are not given to gush, but
reading between the lines one may
see rapid railroad development in
prospest in which our little city will
not be left in the cold.
The contract for our large hotel was
let last week to McCamant & Nc
Mannarny, of Kingman, and work will
commence tomorrow. The building
will cost s., 900 and occupy the most
desirable lots in the city.
AS showing the confidence in which
Minnesota is held, loan was made by
a railroad official of 81 800 on q bus
ness house in this city at per cent
without commission.
Messrs. Cannon & Albee will open
up stock of general merchandise this
week amounting to $4,000. They are
enterprising merchants supplied with
ample means and experience and will
Immediately develop large trade.
The school house is being rapidly
pushed TO completion and before school
opens win be ready for occupation
The school directors of this district are
men of energy and well up in their
duties. Under their management we
cannot fail to have good schools.
Some of our neighborrng shepherds,
although often invited to dispense the
word of life, prefer the treasures of
earth FARTHER than the treasures OF
Heaven, and consequently leave the
flock to wander. Adopting the motto
on our fractional currency "In God
we Trust" all others strictly cash.
We have now three lumber yards
already located. The buildings are
in TWO of them. Prices can
be obtained satisfactory to all.

mon ON the subject of the unconscious

and showing the importance of us
living in such way that
that influence may be for good.
We understand this is the first of a
series of union services to be held by
our churches. We certainly approve
Of this move. The churches are
accomplishing with the world
just what Mr.. Foster aimed to impress
on the individuals in his discourse last
evening.
The Paragraph and News men are
calling each other bad names. Better
use your space in teaching some great
moral truth or in chronicling the
good deeds of some fellow man. A
person feels so much better when he
has had time to cool off q little, and
then you know the public takes but
little stock in individual quarrels.
Cash, you should remember
that while tho young roosters crow
often the old Chanticler sits on the
fence in dignity and comparative
silence and when he does speak it is in
tones full and loud, and the reverber-
atoms are heard afar.

Car Strike.

MEMPHIS, Aug. 18.-The drivers on the
several lines of the Memphis street railway
struck this morning and travel has been
greatly interrupted. The cause of tho dis
satisfaction is due to reducing the pay of all
drivers who have not been in the employ of
the company for period Of six months,
from l24 cents per hour to 10 cents. The
strike was general and commenced at 8
O'Clock this morning. The company man.
aged to send ont few cars on each line, but
by 7 o'clock the strikers began to intercept
travel by throwing the cars from the track.
The police we're called upon, but the meagre
force were unable to give the necessary pro-
lection and stranded cars were to be seen in
all directions. Three or four arrests were
made, and at 1880 each car running was be-
ing guarded by police officer. Three of
the new drivers who began work this morn
ing have been assaulted, but so far no seri-
Gus injury has been done to them.
The committee Of conference appointed at
the meeting Of drivers to confer with the
officers OF the company. reported tonight
that the officers refused to treat with them.
Cars were run during the afternoon by raw
hands, but at o'clock this evening were
Withdrawn. Everything is quiet, and the
strikers hope 10 carry their point by peace
able means. No disturbances occurred in
the afternoon and in all probabilities none
will tonight, although the strikers have the
sympathy of all the trade unions in this
city.
