BURKE AND RUSSELL.

We publish on the ninth page ofthis issue
OF THE APPEAL an extract from the great
speech of Sir Charles Russell, leading
counsel for Mr.. Charles Stewart Parnell
before the Parnell Commission now sitting
in London. Everybody who gives 1t the
careful attention II deserves will agree with
us that II fully sustains the high enco-
NUNS OF the English press and public
and the congratulations so promptly be-
slowed by Presiding Justice Hammer. The
speech, 1t will be remembered, occupied
several days in its delivery and though
minute in the detailed presentation Of the
weak points Of the counsel for The London
Times is relieved by bursts OF
eloquenco that Immediately recall
the great speech OF Burke In the
case OF Hastings, tried before the House OF
Lords in 1886, a speech that has ever since
been referred 10 as among the greatest at
tainments Of eloqucnco in ancient or
modern times. Public men who have had
lifetime experience in public affairs in
Great Britain, great lawyers, Judges, cs.
sayists, journalists and men Of affairs, all
unite in declaring that with Macauley
adequately TO portray the scene and the
occasion, Sir Charles would be immortal.
lied in history. Burke spoke in defense
Of the people OF India, oppressed by
Hastings, according 10 the cruel methods
he found in vogue in India. Russell spoke
for the people Of Ireland, oppressed by
Baliour, the agent Of the Salisbury Minis
try. Burke argued for the down.troddcn
slaves OF an already great empire, from the
basis OF natural and inherent right and
the protecting esis OF the British Con-
stitution, and Russell from that right
In nature and the denial OF the protection
Of a Constitution which exists, 80 far as
Ireland is concerned, only for the English,

glish People," says, referring to the i'm.
pcachment Of Hastings, that the end
aimed at was won, 30 In the case OF Par

end aimed at has been achieved. Para.
phrasing Greene, We can truthiully say
that by this speech "The attention, the
ynpathy Of Englishmcn has been drawn
across distant seas 10 a race utterly strange
TO them; aud the peasant OF Cornwall or

Laurel, Md.-The Baltimore Automatic

perimcnts which the officers Of the COM
pany believe will bring about a revolution
in the transportation Of express, mail and
lighter freights. The company has oon-
structed here track two miles In circuit
upon which lis experiments are conducted.

The Edison dynamo and the Sprague
motor are employed. The overhead rail
Is the m lin feature in the system, n double

Tho idea Is 10 have stations rs miles or
more apart with dynamos with sufficient
power 10 furnish electricity enough TO give
the train for n round trip. The company
have been working for over year past
getting the experimental plant ready, and
have made several trials OF the system

Durham to BE Connected With the World
BY the Postal Telegraph System.
1t is generally known that the Postal
Telegraph company is not making siren
uous efforts in extending its line through
this section of the country, having lately
fitted up a handsome building in Rich
mond as a general Office, and completed
their lines to Raleigh and Henderson in
this State.
Between Henderson and Oxford there
Is a local line owned by the Oxford &
Henderson Telegraph company. The
success of this line has been phenomenal,
the last dividend paid being 33 percent.
The stock is held entirely by local par
ties and is at high premium. Over this
line Oxford has communication with the
outside world over the wires of the Pos
tai Telegraph company who will pay the
local company a p percentage on the charges
for messages sent over the joint lines.
Some time ago it vas proposed that
the Oxford & Henderson branch be
extended to Durham and the company
has now decided to do this. 1t is de-
sired that a certain amount of stock be
subscribed by Durham people and Mr..
Albert Kramer to whom much of the
credit of the undertaking belongs, will
wait on our business men for the pur-
pose of receiving their subscriptions.
The Postal Telegraph Company will
have no claim on any Of the receipts of
the line as a local company but will only
be entitled to a percentage of the outside
kilograms sent and taken at the two
offices. Thus the citizens of this locality
would have entire control of the line be-
tween Henderson and Durham and yet
have the advantage of communication
with the entire world. This would give
Durham two telegraph lines, something
which very few cities in the country pos
sess, the Western Union having almost
entire monopoly.
1t would look extremely foolhardy for
the citizens of Durham to allow this op-
p~ortunity Of extending her commercial
relations with the outside world to pass
unheeded, and it is not believed they will.
Capt. A. Fl. A. Williams, better known
as Badly" Williams and the president
of the Oxford and Henderson company
was in the city last week making ar
rangements about the matter. AS soon
as these arrangements have been com
pleted; which it is expected will be in.
about three weeks, the work will begin at
once

Dumfries on the charge of having made
an indecent assault upon a child named
Gibson. The court room was crowded
with the leading people of the communi-

and her testimony was corroborated by
the other witnesses. The statement pre-
pared by the defendant was then read, in
which an explanation was made that no
intentional offense was committed. The
case is lot yet decided.
