THE BROADWAY FRANCHISE.
what AttOrney-GeaerAi Barlow
says of the Matter.

NEwYoRK, February 25.-The Post
has an interview with Attorney-Gen-
eral Barlow, in which he intimates a
belief that the action OF the State
Legislature in instructing the Attor
ney.General to take action and annul
the charter OF the Broadway surface
railroad was not taken in good faith; ;
that the purchase of the New York
aldermen has no legal connection
with the charter, which was drafted
in perfectly regular way under the
general incorporation law, and cannot
be set aside on the ground Of fraud.
Mr.. Barlow intimates that this action
may have been Instituted for the pur-
pose of hindering the ends of justice
by keeping Others from taking action.
He says the proper course for the
Legislature is to pass an act annulling
the charter and for the city to revoke
the right of way through Broadway.

g TIE minority report Of the House
Committee on the Penitentiafy, accord
ingtoou jackson Miss special, to be
seen on the sixth page, exonerates
Gov. Lowry and the superintendent
from any wrong doing or omission Of
duty in connection with the prison.
This is very well SO far as
it goes. But it is only q minor
ity report. The majority of the
committee declare to the contrary,
and that declaration can only be null
lifted by new testimony and the dec
laration of the committee based there
upon that they are blameless. Gov.
Lowry owes it to himself not to rest
satisfied with the declaration of the
minority of the committee. He must
remember that a majority of the Su-
preme Court decides every case
brought before it.

After being thrown around for an
hour they were found by an older sis
ter who had come TO look for them.
When the machinery was stopped
their bodies were found TO be terribly
lacerated The skull of Katie was
badly fractured and her body in other
ways much mutilated, causing her
death. Susie still lives, but her
chances of recovery are small. Her
entire body is more or less injured,

LINCOLN and ths. I. nloodz Shirt

&C NJ. B." writes to the New York
Tribune as follows:
Few persons seem TO be acquainted
with the origin or real significance of the
expression ''wave the bloody shirt. "
The writer had the story in 1871 from
Richard Williams, an old lawyer of Pekin,
Illinois, formerly president of Henry Col.
lege, in Kentucky The incident occurred
lust before the war. but the date and the
name of the crimina. have both escaped
me. A murder had been committed in
Pekin, and Abraham Lincoln was en-
pIoyed to assist the District Attorney OF
Tazewell County in the prosecution.
In his address to the jury Lincoln dis
played the neither garment of the muir
dered man profusely stained with blood.
The garment, swayed back and forth with
his long arms while pleading in impas-
stoned tones, made most imposing and
dramatic scene. !The murderer was con-
victed. After. The trial some of his breth-
rem at the bar ral.ied him on his taste in
swinging that bloody shirt about.
The earnest bat characteristic response,
1.-The man was guilty of an atrocious
murder; wasn't it better to wave the
bloody shirt than to waive justieeP sill
enced all gibes.

From time immemorial the mother-in-
law has been slandered and is still con-
sidered fair game for inhuman man. This
sort OF thing has gone quite far enough
and progress demands change. The re-

up time and again. but no one has con-
sidered ii worth while TO tell US some
thing about the true relationship OF man
To his mother-n-law.
Mans nature Is but cowardly and mis-
erably weak. for has he not conceded
that the wife is the better half? IL this
be true then the mother-in-law must be
