Mr.. Herring, Of New York, Here to Give HIS
Opinion a Sewerage System.
Mr.. Rudolph Herring, of New York city,
an expert sanitary and municipal engineer
of renown, vino has been employed by the
Board of Public Works at $500 week and
EXPENSES to place his stamp of approval on
sewerage system. Is in the city. stopping
at the benson. He arrived Monday
night, and spent all yesterday morning in
getting acquainted with the city officials j
Although he is very high priced, Mr..
Herring does not show 1t in his appearance.
He dresses plainly. In fact. there are many
young men in this city, working on a sal
airy of SIS week, who dress more expen-
sively. He even wears soft hat with
crease in the crown. His beard Is full and
well trimmed. and he wears glasses. He is
about forty-tive years old. and somewhat
nervous In his temperament. he is very
pleasant conversatiOnalist. Yesterday
afternoon Mr.. Herring looked over the
maps and records In the city engineers Of
ice, and viewed the city.
To a Journal reporter, last evening, Mr..
Herring said he was not yet in q position to
pass any opinion on what it will require
for comprehensive system of sewerage or
how long his services would be required by
the city,. This was his first visit to lndi-
annapolis, he said. He intended to read all
the sewerage reports that had been made
where it has any reference to such matters.
Mr.. Herring was the chief engineer of
the board of engineers that recommended
the system now employ ed in Chicago. That
was in 1885, and ne was there abour one
and half year. whether at q salary of
$500 q week and expenses or not he did not
state. He was the first engineer In the
country to start out on this particular line
of work, and has been engaged in tifty-tiye
different cities in the United states. Mr..
Herring says that work upon the
sewerage system of Chicago has
been much delayed by politics.;
that much legislation was required to get
things in shape SO that $50, 900 900 could be
spent on the system OF sewerage. When
Mr. Herring gets better acquainted with In
dianapolis he will rapidly acquire the opiE-
ion that there Is about as much politics to
the square inch here as there is in the
inner circle of Tammany Hail.

self from LanGston's Charge.
WASHINGTON, June 6.-Attorney General
Miller's attention was to-day called to the
report of a speech of John NJ. Langston ia
Chicago on the evening Of June 3. In the
report of that speech in the Chicago Inter
Ocean it is said: at was charged by the
speaker against the Attorney General
that he had not instituted
single prosecution against perpetrators
although the case of the colored railway
mail clerk who was taken from mail car
and lynched had been specially reported to
him. Mr. Miller said: mo such case was
ever reported to the department Of justice,
and, as believe, no such lynchiug ever oc-
CURED. So far as am able to recall the
only attack upon a railway mail clerk re-
ported to the department since l became
Attorney General was one made on F, g.
Blivens, a young colored man, near the
town of Aberdeen, Miss, on March 20, 1890.
In that case four young men, thinking
it not allowable for q colored man
TO run as railway mail clerk
fired several shot into the mail car, none of
them, however, hitting Bivens. The
United States district attorney promptly
Instituted an investigation and had four
young men indicted. Three Of them were
convicted on pleas of not guilty and one on
plea of guilty. Two were sentenced to
the penitentiary for three years and one to
imprisonment for six months and 10 pay a
fine of $500. The one who pleaded guilty
was let off easily. II Langston knows of
any other case than this he certainly can
and should give the name, time and
place. The trouble with Langston
and with others who complain that
the federal government does not prosecute
wrong inflicted upon colored men is that
they fail to realize that under the construc-
ton of the constitutional amendments by the
supreme court the wrongs complained of
are generally not violations Of federal
rights and consequently prosecutions there
fore cannot be sustained in the federal
courts or by the federal government"

GEORGIA'S TEETOTALERS.
THE PROHIBITION STATE CONvEN-
TON TO MEET TODAY.

a Strong Probability OF the Nomine-
ton OF Hon. Walter 3. Hill for Gov
| ernor-Sam Small a Candidate for
the Congressional Nomination for the
Fifth District-The' Delegates to the
National Convention.
| ATLANTA, GA, June 6.-The prohibition
state convention will meet tomorrow in
the hall Of the House of Representatives.
The convention will be called to order by
DR.. J. o. Perkins Of this city, chairman OF
the prohibition state executive committee.
1t is expected that there will be about $50
delegates present, as nearly every county in
the state has promised to be represented at
the meeting.
The first business win be the selection of
delegates to the prohibition national con-
vention, which meets in Cincinnati on June
90 and So The delegates who will probably
be selected are Walter B. Hill of Macon,
Mr.. Sibley Of Augusta, MIR. Reppard Of
Savannah, Prof. Scomp OF Oxford, and DR..
J. o. Perkins of Atlanta.
a new state executive committee will be
elected.
The important issue of the convention
Will be the advisability of putting out q
ticket for all offices in the state In view of
the dissatisfaction that exists in this dis
trict with Col. Livingston, the congress-
man, and In view of the third party move
ment, the prohibition leaders think that the
chances are excellent for slipping in pro-
hibition congressman from the Fifth.
w. B. HILL FOR GOVERNOR.
There is a very strong probability that
Hon. Walter b. Hill OF Macon will be put
in the gubernational race by the conven-
tion. This will make a three-cornered
division In the ranks of the Democratic
party. Gov. Northen will, OF course, be
the nominee Of the democracy. He will be
opposed by Col. Ellington or some other
third partyite, who will draw his strength
from the ranks Of the old democracy. Then
if the prohibitionists PIT Mr.. Hill or some
other man in the field the ranks of the old
party will be still further sapped. Such a
complication would doubtless rejuvenate
the carcass Of the republican organization
in Georgia and a fourth Richmond would
enter the field. In view of the danger Of
such a state of affairs a heavy influence
will be brought to bear on the convention
tomorrow to prevent the nomination of a
state ticket.
SAM sMALL's LITTLE GAME.
Rev. Sam Smalrs recent performances
throughout the district have created a strong
belief that he will be a candidate for cons
gress He claims allegiance to democratic
principles, while he is a member of the Pro
hibition party. Rev. Small is aware that
he cannot get a nomination from either the
democracy or the Peoples party, and his
plan evidently is to secure the Endorsement
OF to-morrow's prohibition convention and
then run as an independent democratic pro-
hibitionist. But the prohibitionists have
caught on to Rev. Smalrs little game, and
already, before the convention meets, ho5
fight is being begun on him. The conven-
ton promises to be lively 80 far as the Rev.
sam Small is concerned.

NEW YORK, June Pursuant to a call,
the delegates to the democratic national
convention met here this evening. Chair
man Murphy called the meeting to order
and on the roll call seventy delegates, or in
one or two instances alternates represent
ing delegates, responded to their names
Senator Hill was the only conspicuous alb
7sentee. Secretary Charles Defreest read
the following resolution, offered by Gen.
Henry w. Slocum:
RESOLVED, That we. the regularly elected dele
gates to the democratic convention, do reafflrm
our pledge co present the name of d. B. Hill as
our candidate for President and be it
ResolUed, That we will vote for MIN until he
is nominated or as long as he will permit his
name 10 go before the convention.
The reading of the resolution was re-
ceived with great applause and the calling
of the roll was begun. Gov. Flower was
the first name called and he voted vac. The
only break in the list of affirmative votes
was that of Benjamin Wood OF this city,
who voted no. The result was that the
resolution was adopted by vote of
90 TO l. The members of the committee
were appointed on resolutions. credentials
and permanent organization. The situation
was dis cussed in q most harmonious man
ner and the meeting adjourned to meet at
Chicago on the Friday morning preceding
the convention. The decided Hill atmos-
phere braced the spirits of hundreds Of poll
iticIans who have been wavering in their
confidence of the ability of Mr.. Hill to hold
the deleE atiOn.
