THEN.
We find that the two
great political parties of
the country in their ma
tional manifestoes are
Silent on the relation of
the state to the traffic,
though in sGnie in
stances their utterancee
may be construed to dis
approve the expediency
of prohibition, or even
to insinuate against It's
rightfulnesS. The ma
tional prohibition party
alone meets the question
squarely on its merits,
and places at the head
OF its ticket the Hon.
Neal Dow, himself the
very embodiment Of the
prohibition doctr inc.
We find everywhere an
increased sensitiveness
on the part of those in
high political circles, a
realization that the ghost
Of prohibition will not
down, and we expect be-
fore many years to see
entire prohibition OF the

ture and sale of intoxi,

1t has been a very
general belief among
politicians of all parties
that the question does
not come within the do

The Prohibition party

clearly set forth that the
whole question is the
proper subject Of politi,

prohibition as its settled
policy. More recently
that party in Kansas anc
Iowa has boldly taker
the same position, bur
not until the people

Why He Needed Prayer.

The congregation of church ut Elk
Rock were much shocked upon learning
that their preacher had departed under
most discreditable circumstances. On
the following Sunday 1t seemed to be
the aim of nearly everyone TO hush up
the scandal, and under great restraint,
many uninteresting conversations were
held, merely to prove that the members
of the church could arise above SEN
sational gossip. Just before services
were closed, Brother Elijah p Brook
rod arose and said:
"Brethern and sisters, since we last
met in this house something which
seems TO have cast gloom over this
congregation has occurred. We were
all much attached TO our minister: In
fact we loved him, and | now propose
that we offer up prayer for the wan
derer."
A sensational wave swept over the
audience. Another brother arose, and,
turning to Elijah, z. Brookrod. said:
Il am astonished that you should de-
sire this congregation to pay for our
erring minister-you above all others"
"Why?"
Because he ran away with your
WIFE,"
Yes, know" Elijah replied. @aad
that Is the reason why think that he
win need our prayers" "-Arkansaw

The burden of conversation at the
capital since adjournment, has been
the appointment of the committees.
The speakers room Is literally throng-
from morning till night by members
who are urging their own interest or
that of friend. To complicate affairs,
IT is said that the president Is assum-
ing to dictate to the speaker certain aD-
pointments that the speaker don't
want, and that several members
quite worth because their merits are
are not more readily recognized. All
these things are sad comment on
American politics, and ought TO disgust
the people to that extent that they will
see to 1t that the next house is republi-
can. There Is no question that the inn
portant committees are being most
shamefully packed in certain interests,
and Vt is through these committees that
legislation must come, II we have any

FREEDOM FRUsTRATDE.
Hut the County II Pat TO the Expense
of New Lock for u Cell Door.

When the Jail turnkey went on his
rounds yesterday morning serving the
prisoners with breakfast, he was unable
to open the door of the cell in which Dick
Childress is confined. Tie key would
not turn in the lock. ard it soon became
clearly evident that it had been tamper>
ed with. The attention of the Sheriff
having been called to it he examined it
very minutely and he speedily became
convinced that the lock had been mon-
keyed with.
Subsequent developments revealed the
fact that Childress had attempted to pick
the lock with nail, and only succeeded
in twisting the wards of it in such way
that the KEY when applied was unable to
fit in the grooves and turn it. The lock
is one of the Yale safety patent, manu-
factured expressly for Jail cells, and it is
an utter impossibility to pick them,
The Sheriff was obliged to have the
lock filed off and new one substituted.

The r. Il c. Railroad.

Since the supervision of work on tn
L. & G. by the contractors here, infor
nation has been sought on every hanc
as to the true inwardness of the trouble
without effect. We take the following
from the Gadsden Times-News:
1t is a source of regret to all Of our
people that the Tennessee & Coosa rail.
road is SO much involved. Work has
been suspended all along the line. Three
months more work would have com
pleted the road from here to Gunters4
Vile. The trestles between here and
Littleton have all been rebuilt, end ev.
everything seemed auspicious for an ear.
ly completion of this road that has so
long struggled for existence. The in,
debtedness incurred since the change in
the management in April, is estimated
at from $4,000 to 100000. Employ ees
and contractors have not been paid for
more than two months, and great many
are ruined financially. The largest debts
are to Danforth & Armstrong about $lS.-
600, Mr.. Scott about$ 10000, Jno. p,
Rails, Jr., $4,000. The Times-News has
been informed that a gentleman from
New York moved his sawmill plant from
that state to Huntsville to make large
quantity of lumber for the company.
Suits aggregating about $780, 900 have been
filed in the courts here. The cars;
coaches and portion the road bed have
been attached by employees. Just what
the status of affairs is in New York, and
what efforts are being made to extricate
the company from its embarrassments is
not known here. Rumor has it that
some misunderstanding with Mr..
Hugh Carlisle about the lands owned by
the company has precipitated the crisis.
AS nearly as can be learned the state of
affairs is about as follows: After the re-
organization of the company last spring
a mortgage was filed by the company, in
this county, to the Manhattan Trust Co.,
OF New York for $l,50G,0O0 to secure
whOmsoever should buy the bonds of
the company. The property mortgaged
Included all their road bed, franchises.
rolling stock and lands. The land owned
by this company amounted to about
10000 acres, some of them very choice
mineral lands. They have been granted
upon certain conditions by congress, and
only portion OF the grant had been
earned.
Now when the present stockholders
bought out Maj. Carlisle last spring they
understood that he was conveying to
them the 10000 acres of land, or that the
lands all belonged to the company. 1t
only transpired few weeks ago that
Maj. Carlisle held deeds to $1,000 acres
of the best lands, which deeds were ex-
ecuted by the 7. & Z. R. R. Co, several
years since when he owned majority
OF the stock. OF co lrse these statements
may need some revision when all the
facts are made known, but at present
they represent the situation pretty accu
rately.
