The Cotton Belts Proposition.

The Cotton Belt railroad has made
it's proposition to the city again. These
come periodically and Of course in
everyone the interest of the city is not
considered. This railway company
has its hungry eyes on our levee, but
while its very soul is yearning for that
piece of ground, or right OF way, it Is
more anxious to get it for triae. Oh,
OF course it has offered 50 car loads of
gravel per annum for ten years. This,
in the railroad authorities eyes, is a
princely offer, but it is-er should be-
the great Amerscan privilege of peo-
pie to differ as to the value OF any
thing, giving the last and best say
always to the owners, and as the city
owns this property, she, her people,
think the offer nlggardly.
This is not written with any appre
flension that the council will acceed to
the request of these officials. We
have differed from that body often, but
do not here hesitate to express the
opinion, that the members are too
true to the cause they represent; are
too mindful of the peoples interest, to
give this road what it asks.
The franchise the company asks for
would prevent any other road using

On Tuesday morning, October 8,

It would be well for those stronger
minded women who are constantly
demanding that their sex be given
the right to vote in all elections to
ponder over what Cardinal Gibbons
has to say about it. In recent. ser
mon in Baltimore the eminent divine
spoke as follows:
1T is true woman does not to-day
exercise the right of suffrage. She
cannot vote and am heartily glad OF
it. hope the day will never come
when she can vote, and if the right of
suffrage is granted to her l hope she
will reject it, even though there are
some misguided women who think
they want ii. Rest assured, if woman
enters politics she will be sure to
carry away on her some Of the mud
and dirt Of political contact. She
will also lose some of the influence
which now is hers.''
1t would be impossible for women
to enter the mire of politics without
becoming defled and losing thai
gentleness and modesty which are
her strength and her charm. The
home Is the proper sphere OF woma,,
and we are glad t. know that all If
them, with the exception Of a few
fully appreciate the fact.-New Or

been instructed to make this alteration

paid by the owner of the sword, will
be about 1915 each for lots of 90 or

NEW FIGHTING MACHINES.
Automatic Iron Soldiers That Can Shoot
Forty Times a Minute.

A fighting machine or automaton sol
der is the last work up to now Of civ
ilization. Nobody in future need risk
his life in battle-that is, if a newspa-
per of Barcelona is not misinformed as
to the merits of new invention. Ac-
COrding to that journal, the inventor
has offered it to the Spanish government
for use against the Moors in Melilla.
He is ready, for a sum of goo, 600
sterling, to proceed to the seat of opera
tions at the head of 100 Of the new
combatants.
The machine soldier is made of iron,
and he is set going by clockwOrk.
When wound up, he can fire 40 rounds
a minute, and he carries in his interior
a large supply of ammunition. Should
he be captured by the enemy, he can be
blown to pieces by means of an electric
discharge acting upon a quantity Of
dynamite stored in his head.
The paper seriously declares that the
capabilities of the new warrior have
been successfully tested before COM
mittee of experts.
