arm. Ii il well to rem ember that the liberty
we enjoy through and under law, can only be
sustained through such means ~ these. Law
without force back OF it, TO sustain it, is not
law at all. The law must have the means to
establish and maintain its authority by force
If need be. The expense of such organize

every year in the peace and order of our
community. trust you will keep up the ef-
hciency OF your organization, of which you
may well bs proud. | hope the legislature
will give you the best guns that can be bought

The Southern lew Railroad Room.
THE list Of new railroad enterprises IN
augurated in the South. detailed IN thIs
number of the record. indicates great
boom in railroad building the coming
year. There are unmistakabie signs
that the two great Northern rivals-the
Pennsylvania and the Baltimore AMI
Ohio-have their ewes on the South, and
will soon have their steel rails stretch
ing through this fair country.
The two great coal and iron districts,
OF which Chattanooga, Tenn, and bIr-
mingham, Ala, are the Centers, are Oh
Jects of great interest To these powerful
railroad corporations. and II Is evident
that they intend To- either fully control
existing railroad systems, penetrating
these districts. and reaching every i'm
portant Southern trade center, or build
new lines, with numerous side feeders,
that will give them access to the Won
derfully increasing commerce OF the
South.
The Baltimore and Ohio has already
got Its finger into the Queen ana t'ras
cent pie. by way of the express monopoly
from Cincinnati to New Orleans, and
from Meridian to Shreveport. And II
looks as if the Baltimore and Ohio
wouli extend the Valley road from
Lexington. Va, to Cranberry. y. G..
{
Asheville. and perhaps along the Blue
Ridge, not through Rabuu Gap. and
through the Nacoochee Valley in North
Georgia.
The Pennsylvania road Is figuring on
a line from Norfolk To Jacksonville, y.
e, To Atlanta. which will involve the
Raleigh aud Castor. and Raleigh and
Weldon roads, owned by capitalists in
terested in the Pennsylvania. This line
would be seventy miles shorter between
New York and Atlanta tran the Il Oh
mond and DanviIle route.
The H'rprd believes that from ten
thousand to twelve thousand miles OF
railroad will he built in this country dur
ing the gear 1885,, and that a large pro
portion will he III the South, which Is
destined 10 become the great Eldorado
of the Cnited States. as IL Is almost III

We heard a good joke on one of our
best known business men. day or two
ago. that is too good TO keep. He was
with the fishing party that left here for
Lake George "A few days ago. and the
story runs somew hat after this fashion.
The gentleman referred to and three
others were seated in the tent deep in
play a game of cards, when one of
the lockers. on took a lantern and went
down to the boat t. r some purpose. \
negro was there fishing, and had caught
several very fine mullet and the gentle
man was not long in striking trade
for three of the finest in the lot. Put
ting them on string he marched back
to the tent, ard the business man seeing
the fish quickly enquired as to where
they came from. Salt Spring run is
full of EN-, said the bearer, "and so |
was sitting in the boat with the lantern
and school of them inmped for the
light, and l secured then" holding up
the fish so that all could see.
Great Jewhilikins :" shouted the
merchant, dropping his cards and Selling
a lantern, Gone on, fellows, and let's
have some fun" at the same time walk
ing bee line for the boats. The owner
of the Iilullet quietly gave the others a
wink, when all hands followed the
merchant down to the boats, but by the
time they reached the bank the eager
fisherman had showed off boat and was
pulling up the run, at the same time
holding his lantern so that the RAYS were
reflected on the water; but no fish jump
ed, and thinking the school had passed
he made his colored oaTsman pull against
the stream and he stood in the bow Of
the boat holding the lantern well up,
under the impression that another
school would he along soon, when his
boat would be filled with fish. The
others stood on the bank until about -
o'clock at night, and IL e enthusiasm of

Fighting for a LadY'S Hand.

CHICAGO, Dec. IA duel with swor' s
was fought early yesterday m, rning in
Humboldt Park. \ little before I 1
o'clock two close carriages entered the
park, each carriage containing a prinCj-
pal and his seconds and surgeons. They
drove to the western end, where they
alighted and concealed themselves behind
a clump of trees. The arrangements
being completed, the principals each
drew his sabre and the contest began.
Soon both were wounded. One received
a sword thrust through the breast and
hIs opponent was cut across the face.
With this drawing of blood the duelists
seemed satisfied, for they were quickly
put in their car riages and rapidly driven
To Feerkers drugstore, on the corner of
North and California avenues. The
wounds were dressed. Then the men
were helped TO Heir carriages and rap
idly driven away. So quickly was the
duel fought that the park police, who
saw the car riages 90 out of the park.
were not aware OF what had occurred.
Ii is said that the duelSts were an editor
ami doctor and that the duel was over
the hand Of a young lady.

WHILE strikes have been organizing
and strikers enforcing ldleness, Phil Ar
mour has been expanding 100000 in
buildings for church and school purposes
for the needy. Has any cooperative
agency OF socialists done anything COM
mensurate with this, for the benefit Of
the strugglers for existence? The old
colored woman who shut her eyes in
ecstasy, singing "Fly abroad, thou mighty
gospel" as the collection was being
taken up, fairly exemplines these shrek
ers; and practical answer to their de-
mands comes In the words Of the colored
brother, who shook her, and said, "Tain't
no use singing ay broad unless you give
the gospel wings to fly wild" Let these
men show by concerted action, that their
real intent and purpose is to elevate the
masses, rather than drag Others to the
level, and they will number more con-
verts to their views, and ind more hearty
co-operators in their movements.
