A fine audience witnessed the perform
ance of Judge Not j" at the Metropolitan
Theater last evening. Miss Fife Ellsler
proved her capability as finished dramatic
artist. She is certainly possessed in marked
degree of personal magnetism. and is
student of the emotions and motives of
humanity. The entire performance was
one of the cleanest cut and most finished
that has been given here in long time.

SPRING RACES.
THREE INTERESTING EVENTS ON
THE FIRST DAY.
A Fayorite Badly Beaten Cool
and Cloudy Weather, But
Fine Sport.

The spring meeting of the Capital Turf
Club, after two postponements caused by
rain, opened yesterday at Agricultural Park
The weather was cloudy and threatening
all the forenoon, and drops of rain fell at
intervals, lettering many from visiting the
track. The officers of the club determined,
however, to open the ball in the afternoon,
unless the rain should descend heavily,
which. fortunately. it did not. Indeed
during the afternoon the sun broke through
the clouds at intervals, and so far as the
comfort of those in attendance was con-
cerned, it may be said that the weather was
delightful. There was. all things consid-
cred, good attendance, especially for the
first day Of spring meeting: The grand
stand contained quite a number of ladies,
and the Hussar Band discoursed excellent
music between the races and heats.
The Judges for the day were ]. W. Will
son president of the club, Chris. Green
and Hi. Barton of Latrobe, Ell Dorado
county. Robert Allen and Sid. Eldred
officiated as timers, J. Wild and w. ODER
as starters, and S. Cooper as fagman.
FIRST RACE.
The opening event was five-eighths of
mile dash for two-year-olds, for the Lind
ley & Co. Gold Ribbon Stake, and the start
ers were L. e. Shippee's chestnut filly
Whisban, H. l. Thornton's chestnut filly
Alice, and R. P. Ashes chestnut filly Mi
rope.
In the pools Whisban brought $50, Mi
rope $50, and Alice SIG. Later Alice sold
for SIG, and Mirope $40.
There was little delay at the post, Whis.
ban getting off in the lead, which she
maintained throughout, increasing the
space between herself and the others from
start to finish, and passing under the wire
an easy winner, by some ten lengths. in
1:04, Alice leading Mirope by about a
length.

Investigating the Train Wreck.
ing,

Coroner Thos. keenan, impanelled
Y. ID. Davis, J. w. McGrath, w. F.
Parsons, ID. Schwem, Willard Seavey
and Chas. Grafton as jury of inquest
last Friday and began an investiga
ton into the causes that led to the
death of Randall Caldwell, the color
ell fireman, who lost his life in last
Wednesday nights wreck.
The jury was impressed from the
first with the idea that the parties
who caused the Cedar Hill or Sunday
nights wreck We're the same who
caused the wreck at the St.
Charles switch Wednesday night, and
they began taking testimony in that
case with a view to leading up to the
other. On Saturday afternoon they
had obtained testimony which they
considered pointed strongly to John
Williams, colOred, as the guilty party,
and he was arrested and lodged in Jail.
The accused negro has lately been in
the employ of Capt. Milan as n wood
chopper, and bears a rather unsavOry
reputation, having served three
months under the county contractor
for stealing valise from passenger
train at the depot here last spring.
Yesterday he had a preliminary
trial before Justice Mcmillan, and
was admitted to bail in the sum of
$500 to answer to the Circuit Court.
The proof against him is all circum-
stantial, and the chief points are, that
he had been heard to make direful
threats of getting even with the Rail-
road (which he blamed for his trouble
about the valise) and was seen very
near the Cedar Hill Switch, by two or
three witnesses, only short while be-
fore the wrecked train came along.
The COrOner's Jury have continued
their labors this week and are still in
session, making every effort to get at
the bottom facts about both wrecks.
There is unquestioned proof that both
switches were misplaced with de-
sign of wrecking the trains, and the
only thing to ascertain now is, the
guilty party or parties.

stated at the recent meeting of the
National Farmers Alliance of Meri-
dian "that of the 100000 people of
these United States 5000 persons con-
trolled two thirds of the wealth of the

es, who nominally control the remain
ing third of the property of this gov
eminent actually pay ALL the taxes
required to keep the vast and COM
plicated machinery of government in

State Convicts.
COMMUNICATED.

The lease Of the Penitentiary and
eonvicts to the Gulf and Ship Is
land Railroad Company having been
cancelled, leaves this interesting and
much discussed Institution in the
hands of the Railroad Commits
sioners, under the statute of 1886.
1t seems that the same complaints
heard for years have been made per-
sistently against the cruelties prac-
ticed under the recently forfeited
lease.
The railroad company denied tho
cruelties, but admitted as ground of
forfeiture the non-payment of some
paltry sum due the State for official
travelling expenses. This, however, is
of no moment. Upon the examination
of the statute of 1886, it will be seen
that the leasing system goes right
along the same as ever. The Board
must lease them, and there will
simply be another set of lessees, rail-
roads preferred, and as a last resort
they will be hired again on farms and
plantations. And they will, many of
them,go back to plantations, and pos
sibly in some instances to the same
masters who had them before the era
of the Gulf g. Ship Island expert
ment.
The present state of affairs is not a
reformation of the system. 1t is the
wholesale leasing of convicts, as the
thing is understood by everybody in
formed III respect to prison systems.
There is not man on the Board
who is not humane, conscientious,
and anxious to secure to these con-
victs good treatment. They have the
power to inspect, and to cancel con-
tracts; but these powers practically
amount to nothing, with the present
essential conditions underlying the
leasing system. These have been
pointed out and demonstrated so often
that it is utterly useless to do more
than allude to them.
Last winter, Senator Boone intro
duced practical and carefully pre-
pared scheme for abolishing the leas-
ing of convicts and by gradual pro-
cess establishing State prison self
supporting in its character under
complete official control. This met
the approval of every member of the
Board of Control, but it was killed by
a majority of four votes i'll the
Senate.
The change of grand larceny from
$40 to $25 will decease the prison pop
ulation. And if the judges of the
State would moderate the severity OF
their sentences, which are out of all
proportion to those of we'll regulated
Northern prisons, the number of con-
victs would be still further reduced.
In the course of time, it is to be
hoped, by all good people who love
justice, that some Legislature will
finally get it's consent to abandon II
system so flagrantly violative of pub
lie morals

Judges Simrall and Vassar, of Mis-
sissippi, the former Chief Justice, and
the latter State Treasurer, under Gov.
Alcorn's administration, called upon
President Harrison lately. They are
said to have urged upon Mr.. Harrison
great care in his selection of Federal
officers for the South insisting that
the only remedy for the prevailing
prejudice against the Republican
party was to appoint representative
business men of established standing.
They offered the novel suggestion,
that where reputable white Republi-
cans could not be found, women
might be appointed, with advantage
to the offices. Thus do SambO'a
chances for a share of the chicken
pie slip further and further away.
