THE CITY 5 GAS STOCK.
rSunday Telegram.1

louuudy lciSStdu
Referring to the recent order Of the city
government to advertise for bids for its
holdings of Gas Company stock, would itnot
be well for the authorities to first call upon
the managers of the Gas Company for de-
tailed statement Of receipts and dlsburse-
ments, assets .and liabilities for the last ten
years; so that the taxpayers of the city may
know the value Of this stock, and the city
government also. and by these means pre-
vent an injury to the city by sale at too
low prices?
VIII not some member of the common
council at its next meeting call for such q
statement, and after 1t has been submitted
to the city government, see that it is ordered
to be published for the information of tax
payers who are really the owners of this
property, and have the right to know what
city government, proposes to sell; for the
city government is no more or less than
trustee holding this property for the benefit
of all taxpayers, and should be accountable
to them the same as any trustee is recount
able for his trust.

Editor Gazette:
Thinking that your readers might
be interested in something from the
"School City," | send you a few
items.
In my recent visit to Huntsville l
was charmed with its beauty and won
by the hospitality of the people.
While there I attended a meeting
of the Literary While | do not
wish to be a critic, | must say that in
all my travels l never saw young men
act SO uncivilized. Their conduct
was a shame! Itspeaks low for them
1t is an imposition upon those who
have..to render the programme and to
those who wish to hear. When such
rude youngsters make themselves so
disgusting and will not behave they
should be made to do SO. The quiet
and lady-like actions of the ladies can
not be too highly praised.

Yellow Fever in Louisville, XIV.

LOUISVILLE, KY, Sept. 20.-Moses New
berry, Polish Jew, who arrived in this
city on Tuesday last from Decatur, Ala, +,
with his wife, child and sster-in law, died
yesterday in a tenement at Jefferson and
Eighth streets, from yellow fever. The
physician who first the case on Monday
at once suspected it to be yellow fever, and
the black vomt. which developed, confirmed
the diagnosis. Health Officer Gait states
that the other members of the refugee fam
lily have been isolated, but refuses TO state
their location. It is known, however, that
they did not go to the pest house, ard fears
are entertained that they are not in the
custody of the health officers.

The new cotton bagging was subjected
to very trying test in New Orleans. and

is a better material for bagging than jute.
The new bagging was ignited with

bagging burned like .ind4r while it was
with the greatest difficulty that the cotton
bagging was made to burn. The manv

DO Illlo do IL Aid hC "a CiidhCip pN
tion and suffrage are accomplished
facts. He is the legal possessor Of
bo'h. The Republican party does
not claim his vote on the score Of
gratitude; it only desires that all men
white or black, vote in accordance
with their convictions and judgments,
ard not from compulsion or rintimida
ton.
The Republican partv advocates a
''free ballot and an honest count, as
it is right preservative Of all rights,
the basis of onr free institutions, and
the only shield of orr liberties
1t is an admitted fact that the ne
gro is the problem which has brought
about the present condition Of affa rs.
No public sentiment, however organ
lied or directed, which is not formu-
lated into law, can either long endure
or safely direct the destiny of a re-
pose upon the same guarantee as
their own.
The people in the other State have
rights which are imperiled by the
suppression of free speech and the
existened Of ballot box frauds in this
State
If the people Of Alabama confess
the fact that they are unable sue
cessfully to deal with the negro pro
blem, except in the manner they
have adopted, it is an admission Of
incapacity for free government, and
an invitation to others whose rights
are thereby jeopardized to interfere
for the common good Of all. This is
the certain end. There can be no
other termination, no other solution
of this problem, unless the people
will permit reason and law to prevail,
and through open and free discuss
ion find just and proper solution.
American statesmanship has been
equal to all the emergencies of the
past, and is equal to all present con
ditions.
However discouraging may be the
out 'ook, every interest and every
hope beckons us forward in the path
Of duty. If the August election was
counted Democratic by $4,000 ma
jority, let us press onward and see
how many the count in November
will fix as the Republican vote of the
State Of Alabama.
The prospects for Republican sucs
cess in the National campaign are
increasing every day, and with the
return of the Republican party to
power in the National Government
we may expect not only a solution
of this vexed problem, but aid to
Education, a continuation Of the
system of internal improvements,
and the policy Of Protection, which
has started our own State upon
marvellous career Of developmentand
and prosperity; repeal of Internal
Taxation; an adjustment Of the ir
regularities of the tariff, the increas-
ed coinage Of silver; the general adj
vancement of the country, and the
increased comfort and happiness Of
the people.
The Republicans Of this State
should organize; candidate should
be put in the field in each Congress-
ional District: an earnest should be
made; the people should be instruct>
ed. The Republican party should
do its duty, whe. ther success or de
teat be the result.
II we, as party, are powerless to
remedy existing evils, we can warn
the people Of their danger; point
them to the way Of safety and await
with confidence the triumph both of
reason, Of law and of right.
Very respectfully,
r. A. MOSELEY, JR Cha
H. A. WILSON, Secretary.
