the city of Natchez. Miss, several miles
inland. There IS a great bend just above
Natchez and the river makes a long de-
tour. There Is now great danger of the
river breaking through the neck of the
bend, and should it do so it would make
new channel and leave Natchez three or
four miles inland from the river front.
The same thing happened several years
back to Nicksburg, and it took Sl,500. 900
TO rectify what $4,000 would have easily
prevented. The cessation of COVE nment
work on the river under the supervision
of the river commission would indeed be
a serious matter for the people living all
along the Missouri river.

rushed at Roadhouse with a curse, and
dealt him blow on the face, knocking
him down and cutting his head. When
Roadhouse recovered he picked up the

engineer head, killing him. Roadhouse

Rochester Post-Express (rep.) The Or

awful example. A man who has furnished
nothing but words. andwhose constituents
cannot point to an act that he has accom-
phshed, not a measure that he has carried.
not law of his writins, not a measure of
his origlnahon for their benefit or the

Richmond withdraws.

The surprise to the convention was yet
to come, and, when it came it acted as
though bomb had been thrown in among
the delegates. T.. c. Richmond, the vet
eran prohibitionist, came 10 the front,
and in slow and plain words stated that he
felt obliged to withdraw as IN active mem
Der, from the prohibition party The dele
gates sat in their seats thunderstruck when
he made the announcement. Mr.. Rich
mond stated that he might vote the ticket
next fall, but active work he could not do
as long as the bulk Of the party continued
TO crowd in issues that were entirely foreign
to the liquor eHl.
Mr.. Rich mond, when asked by DEMO
Graf reporter TO state more specifically
why he took the step, said that it was be-
cause the prohibition party was not con-
centrating its forces on the main issues,
but is loading itself down with side issue,
such as woman suffrage, that would not be
realized for ages TO come. Further than
this. he objected to the inclusion of the
plank relative to the supreme
court decision in the E1gerton Bible
case in the platform. Upon the
question whether he would ally himself
with any other party, Mr.. Richmond said
that he would not; that he would take
rest and leave politics alone.
1t is quite evident that other prominent
prohibitionists in this city feel likewise,
for many, who were formerly leaders, were
yesterday conspicuous for their absence.
Adjournment
The convention then adjourned sine
die.
In the evening a meeting of the state
central committee was held, and NJ. o.
Nelson was elected chairman for the COM
ing year and J. B. Smith secretary.

CANADA IS PLEASED.
The Sherman Reciprocity ResOlutio
Meets With Favor in the Dominion.

The New York Herald publishes the following
from Montreal The Gazette. government organ,
will publish today what may DO regarded as
reflex Of the dominion governments position
toward the reciprocity resolution introduced
in the United States Senate by Mr. Sherman.
Speaking Of the terms Of the resolution il will
say: This proposition seems to us admirably
constructed and of q character to excite ap-
prevail in Canada. 1t is strictly in accord with
the policy of the dominion government set
forth during the negotiation of the abortive
fisheries treaty in 1887, when the British COM
missioners, acting at the suggestion of tho Cana
dian ministry, proposed to take mp the whole
question Of the trade relations of the two coun-
tries and settle the fisheries dispute on the
basis OF reciprocity arrangement. Unlike the
projects of MIR. Wiman, MIR. Hit, MIR. Butter
worth and the Canadian Liberals, that Of MIR.
Sherman gives ample scope for negotiations.
mutual concession and the protection of inter-
ests essential alike to the material prosperity
as to the political integrity Of the dominion,
1t does not put pistol at the head of the Cana
dian government with the threat: Put the
control of your fiscal affairs in our hands or
suffer commercial crusade against your in,
terests.' On the contrary, it provides alterna-
tives and proper latitude. Under the terms
of the resolution questions relating to the coast
ing trade, to transportation in bond to the fish
cries, to reciprocal privileges in wrecking-in
word. to the commercial relations of Canada and
| the United States in their widest sense--can be
made matters OF discussion and negotiation.
Whether the resolution will be adopted 10
doubtful. Mr.. Sherman, however, is one of
the most influential members Of the Senate and
possesses power in the republican party and it
il quite possible he win have the support OF a
number Of democrats. Just now the drift in
the dominant party is toward reciprocity in ac-
cordance with the lead taken by Mr.. Blaine.
Meanwhile il Is satisfactory to have mooted by
public man OF John Sherman's eminence and
ability proposal for enlarged commercial re-
lations. whose acceptance will be entirely con-
sistent with Canadian honor and Canadian in.

The Police Court Spectacle.

To the Editor OF THE EVENING STAR:
Your correspondent of August 81, 1890, in his
letter entitled In the Police Court" after al
luding caustically to the manner of conducting
cases therein, calls pointed attention to the
disgusting spectacle" to be witnessed before
the Police Court building every morning, and
asks that this daily spectacle" be removed
from 1.-The heart Of the city, Permit me to
call the attention of the public and the Com
mssioners again to this matter, with the declar-
alton that this spectacle is an intolerable
infection upon that part of the city. and in the
manner in which it is conducted it would not
be difficulty to prove it a nuisance. It is some
what difficult to see how residents have 80 long
borne with the daily procession of unfortunates.
the idle crowd around, the sausage vendors. and
to these may now be added the prisoners van
delaying on 9th street, and the new Jail in the
rear. While the spectacle is sickening the i'm
moral effects proceeding from this daily show
arc too great to be estimated. Has not the time
arrived when all this should be stopped? As
the Police Court is about to remove tempo
rarily to City Hall might it not as well remain
there now permanently, its proper place.
