Bishop Galloway interviewed

The Memphis AppealAvalanche of
last Sunday contained the following
interview with Bishop Galloway on
prohibition, sent it by Mr. T.. S. vii
son, the regular Jackson correspon-
dent of that paper:

never been any differences as to
questions of principle, but, Of ncces-
sity, divergent views as to methods
and plans of operation have arisen
and been more or less emphasized,
Some, though not many, have and
do favor the organization of political
party on that issue. They honestly
believe that the cause of prohibition
can be best promoted and its results

Ex-President Cleveland was one OF
the speakers at the jackson Day din
ner given in New York City on Fri
day last, and closed his eloquent re-
marks in these words: "If, inspired by
the pure Jacksonian spirit, we hold
to the doctrine that party honesty is
party duty and party courage is party
expediency, we shall win sure and
lasting success through the deserved
support of discriminating, intelli-
gent and thoughtful people"

1t is hoped the Legislature will show
itself in full rapport with the Consti-
tutional Convention on the subject of
jury reform. A radical defect of the
old system is that it requires a unani-
nous verdict In no other branch of
our Government is this the case, and no
other branch, is so feeble. If we could
have our juries selected of good ma
terial and then clothe two-thirds or
three-fourths with power to render a
verdict, the burdens on the people
would be lightened materially, and life
and property would be effectively pro-
tected.

There is not an argument against the
recharter of the Louisiana Lottery,
from a moral standpoint, that will not
apply in Mississippi to licensing the
liquor traffic. Neither is there clear
difference from any other standpoint,
except that the Lottery is monopoly
in more concentrated form. Both
seek TO dominate and control the Dem
ocrafic party, and both have no God
but Mammon.

1t now appears that the report that
the two daughters of the outlaw, Bob
Sims, had been hung by mob was a
fake. We agree with the New Delta

The day is past when the hanging of
women by mob, for any cause what
ever, will be approved by public senti-
ment.

Thousands of Unemployed Men in
the Streets Of London.
THE DAHOMEYANS REPULSEDD
a Mob Destroys Columbian Decorations
at Granada, spain-The News Of For
eign lands Told in Terse Paragraphs
by Cable To the News.

LONDON, Nov. 3.-John Burns, M. r.,
Ben Tillett and nine labor members OF
the London County Council yesterday
waited upon President Fowler OF the
local government board and urged him
TO issue a circular to the local dock, gas,
water and sanitary authorities, request
ing them to open their works for the re-
lief OF the thousands of unempl Dyed
workmen. The deputation also urged
that overtime should be abolished in the
government offices. They urged that
whatever measures were adopted for the
relief OF the unemployed, aside from the
circular, must be national IN their char
acter, for otherwise London would be
flooded with unemployed men who would
flock TO the city from all parts OF the
country.
Some of the speakers gave statistics OF
the increase in the number OF unem-
ployed workmen throughout the coun-
try. Mr.. Fowler replied that he could
not issue the circular asked for, but he
promised to consider the proposals ad :
vanced by the members, especially those
that were national in their character.

FELL ASLEEP AT HIS POST.
An overworked Signal Man Caused tho
Thirsk Wreck.

An Overworked Signal Man Caused tho
Thirsk Wreck.
LONDON, Nov. 4.-Throughout the
night men were working upon tho de-
bris of the wrecks of the express and
goods train that collided near Thirsk
early yesterday morning. The tender OF
the express train has not yet been lifted
from the mass Of wreckags. 1t is sus-
pected that when IL is removed several
bodies will be found beneath it. The
sccident was caused by the negli-
gence OF Signalman Holmes. A passen-
ger named Rslath, in an interview, said
that he saw Signalmsn Holmes after the
collision. The man Is in pitiable condi-
tion Of mental distress. His child had
died on the previous night, he told Re-
lath, and he had asked the station mas
ter for leave of absence, but had been re-
fused. He had TO take his turn of duty
though greatly fatigued, and was so
tired that he fell asleep and neglected
the signals.
The accident gives special interest TO
the evidence of the witnesses now testi-
flying az to railway management before
the Royal Labor Commission. The men
assert that they are overworked, while
the railway officials testify that it Is i'm
possible to work the traffic OF their lines
In q fixed day of ten hours.
Another lesson taught by the accident
10 the superiority OF the American car
over the English car. In a collision the
latter collapse like egg boxes.

PARIS, Nov. 4.-Colonel Dodds, COM
manding the French forces operating
against the Dahomeyans, has telegraphed
details of the fighting that took place on
October 20 and II. His dispatch says
that the French were attacked at Aka
by the whole strength OF the Dahomey-
ans. The natives were repulsed with
heavy loss after two days fighting. Col
onel Dodds adds that King Behanzin
now wishes to come to terms. The
French commander, as preliminary
condition, insisted upon the evacuation
of the Dahomeyan lines along the River
Koto. King Behanzin refused, and on
October 20 the French column, which
had In the meantime been reinforced,
attacked and carried two lines of in
trenchmsnts between Akan Kotopa. On
October 27th the French captured an i'm
portant line along the koto, the strong
est fortified position the French have yet
captured. The total French loss through
out these battles was ten killed and 73
wounded.
Two French officers were killed.
Among the wounded is Captain Gre

A SPANISH MOE.
An the Columbian Decorations Destroyed
at Granada.


MADRID, Nov. 4. - The populace of
Granada was greatly disappointed at
Queen Re7ent Christmas refusal to visit
the city with King Alfonso after great
preparations had been made TO receive
them. Then the feeling OF disappoint-
ment changed to one of anger, and
large mob went about the city and des-
troyed the handsome triumphial arches
that had been erected. They set fire to
the octroi offices and stood by until they
burned. Then the mob proceeded to the
stand that had been erected for the use
OF the royal party during the unveiling
of statue OF Columbus aud completely
destroyed IL, together with a platform
built for public use.
Finding no other mementoes OF the
Columbus celebration on which to vent
their anger the mob went to the house
OF the Conservative party and assailed
them with stones. smashing the win
dows and doing other damage. While
attacking the houses someone in the
crowd started the cries OF "Down with
the Government" "Long live the Re-
public" The revolutionary cries, how
ever, attracted the attention OF the civic
guard, as the rioting had not done, and
a body of them made a charge upon the
mob slashing right and left with their
swords. A number OF the rioters were
quite severely injured, and thirty OF
them were locked up.
