NThe Pullmans, owning most OF the
sleeping cars running in the South, we
learn from an exchange, have given
orders to sell sleeping car berths to color
ed and whites alike. As the Pullnans
are Republicans, it is said that this order
was given for the purpose of giving Re
publican papers north chance to have
more campaign literature II such an
ordered is enforced it will be but short
time before all honorable Southern white
people will abandon the Pullman cars
altogether, as they should do. 1t is done
more to create strife than anything
else, and even if it is little inconvient
our people can and will do without the
Pullmans' and their sleeping cars, and
let the colored people take charge oil

THEY ALL ADMIT 1T.
TIE kids" ALL AGREE THAT THE
OLD LADY WAS RIGHT.
An Interview With Col. Tom Barrett
Which Clinches 1.-THE Thinks It VIII
Be Good Thing for Memphis-so
Say We All.

Tho "Kids" squealed piteously yester-
day under the spanking given them by the
cold Lady" and are still very sore. The
most humiliating feature 10 them is that
worm-eaten chestnut about the "0ld
Lady" has lost such little pungency MS
even n wormy chestnut may lay claim to.
Col. Tom Barrett treated the "Kids'' very
badly. lie was reproached for his cruel
treatment Of them yesterday byan APPEAL
reporter, who lamented the fact that
the "Society for the Prevention Of
Cruelty to Children" has no branches
here. Col. Bdrrett said he was en-
tirely bamolcss in the matter. Said
he, knew nothing about 1t personally
and am still without direct information
upon the subject. 1t is true that Mr.. Hill
and Mr.. Norton have received kilograms
indicating that the deal is made, but no
such news came TO me direct. | knew
that these Chicago people were nego-
tiating for the road, and that Dudley
Fruyser and sam Tate, Jr., who were In
Chicago, were perfectly able to protect my
interests, so ! gave myself no concern.
When the reporters asked me about il |
told them the truth. had no direct in
formation on the subject.
"Thc deal is, In my opinion, n good
thing for Memphis, inasmuch rs it will
bring o million OF foreign capital here, and
besides place the road in the hands OF men
OF unlimited means. They invest their
money, not for five or ten years. but for
permanent revenue, and viii not hesitate
TO spend millions more 30 improve the
property. One OF thcsyndicate is the owner
Of a patent on cable railways, and am
convinced they will introduce the system
here.
Col. Barrett can talk very well when he
wants 10.
The Hon. David r. MADDEN, President
OF the Taxing District, or Mayor do facto
OF Memphis, was interviewed by several
men Of news. lie was guarded in his ox-
prcssions to all, but delivered himself to n
reporter OF this paper as follows, in re-
sponso 10 n request 10 express himself on
the colossal trade or sell out OF the Men,
phis street ear system:

what lac is getting, aud don't know any

as Ear us could bc nsccrlained yesterday.

teering to take his engine back TO Vicks-
burg in case no substitute could be found,
showed that he was not inclined TO ignore
the company's interests.
2. The fact that he had reported TO Mr..
Blomberg, the next man in rank TO Mr..
Casey, orelcaving Nicksburg, declaring
his intention to remain away, indicated a
desire to conform to discipline and COM
pany regulations.
3. Because he remained in Memphis
four or five days TO await the result Of his
application for leave of absence.
4. Because the times were panicky and
Manager Edwards had issued orders to LET
all men 60 who wanted TO 20.
5. Because Mr. Bellows was entitled TO
ten hours lay-ovor in Memphis and could
not be required 10 leave when Mr. Houzeal
asked him TO do so.
There were other matters in controversy,
mainly a request from the engineers that
Supt. Casey be dismissed, on the ground
that he had repeatedly treated the men
unfairly. This charge Mr.. Casey succeeded
in disproying and the request for his re-
moval was refused.
The Interpretation OF the schedule Of
compensation was also discussed. For
instance, men on the main line are some
times detailed to take the place for day
or two OF men ON branch lines The main
line compensation is the highest, and the
detailed men think they ought to receive
main line pay when detailed to do branch
line work. This matter and others OF
similar nature were tremendously adjusted
and everything is serene along the line.
Chief Arthur was not consulted, nor
were his services called into requisiton.
lie was only here TO interpose, in case the
company officials and the men failed TO
agree
