tention of the U. S. Court during the

minal underlying bondholders have
submitted proposition to Drexel,
Morgan & Co., and are awaiting a re-
ply. The committee claims that the
proposition is an equitable one and
should receive favorable consideration.
If the concessions are not granted, the
underlying bondholders will either
have to take the branch roads and ope-
rate them themselves or submit to

basis of $4,000 per mile, while the
bondholders claim, from its showing,
the basis should not be less than $4,000

EX-SENATOR INGALLS, told the truth
when he said "the South is isolated be-
cause ofthe negro" Yes, white peo-
nile will not associate on terms of equal
itvwith the negro. Lard is cheaper, wa
fer more abundant and purer, climate
more genial and salubrious, and every
facility for comfortable life greater in
the South than any where else within
the limits of the country, but still 1t Is
stunned even by poor immigrants, be-
cause of the negro who abides with it.
The negro was no drawback to the
South prior to 1861, because then he
acknowledged the inferior place to
which nature had assigned him, but 1t
is different now, and Mr.. Ingalls, is wise
enough to see why it is that immlgra-
ton flows northward But the South
bears her burden without complaint,
and only asks to be allowed the poor
privilege of carrying it rs comfortably
as possible.

IT Is printed in the newspapers that
on recent occasion one of Mr.. Cleve-
lands cabinet ministers said to an APP
plicant for an office, who is person
al fiiend, and whom he know to be
competent and efficient, 81 want to give
you place that will not subject you to
the civil service examination. You can
not stand it. ! could not stand it my
self" And yet that minister supports
the civil service law, and so do all his
colleagues-because the President is
one of its advocates. The whole law is
a debasing humbug, and the sooner it
is abolished, and the old system, under
which the government was conducted
honestly for century, be restored, the
better it will be for the democratic par
ty as we'll as for the country. Honesty
should be the chief qualification OF q
government official, but honesty can
not be determined by the ability to an
swer high grade school questions.

she was with girl friend at the time the

were thrown to the floor in heap, Miss Ayo
being beneath. falling timber instantly

sheltered Miss Ayo from the blow, and Miss
Ayo herself received very serious injuries
