Chicago, May 9.-Green B.

IN TROUBLE AGAIN.
Charley WeIborn Used the Mails for Fraudulent Purposes, it Is Alleged, and Is Nou
 Behind the Ears.

Charley Welborn is in trouble again. the complainant this time being Mra. Anna NJ Smith of Readyville, Tenn.s against him that of using the United States mails for fraudulent purposes.
 The complaint, sworn to before United States Commissioner Wilson, alleges that-o on the 3d day of March of the pres ent year Welborn opened up corr<, spondence with Mrs. Smith, stating to her that he wanted to purchase certain live stock. She had the stock in ques- tion, and further letters followed.
 On the 18th of March, so the complaina alleges, Welborn mailed at the Birs mingham postoffice a letter to Mrs. Smith. In that letter, it is charged, Welborn inclosed a note for $1100 in- dorSed by s. H. Watkins, J. l.. Tinney and R. H. McDaniel. The letter als(s contained the statement, it is charged, that Welborn paid tax on a farm near Birmingham that was assessed at $4200, and that he also owned a large rancho in Bexar county, Texas The note wao to run for ten months, and was given in payment of two jacks and a stallion. known as Bonnie McGregor"
 In that letter Welborn stated he was starting a stock farm and that if he could dispose of the jacks he would be able to pay Mrs. Smith before the matur- ity of the note.
 The stock ordered were shipped im- mediately, as per directions, and it is claimed one jack is now in possession of MT. Will Wilson and Mr. T. w. Riddle who lives about a mile beyond East Lake, has the other. w. H. Rogers of this city has the horse.
 MT. F. D. Smith came down yesterday morning and SWOTe ont the warrant bp- fore United States Commissioner Wilson Shortly after noon Welborn was arrested by Deputy United States Marshal Caf- fee and taken before Commissioner Will son, who fixed his bond at $500.
 His trial is set for Il o'clock this morn- ing.
 Cabaniss & Weakley were employed by Mrs Smith to recover the stock and it is likely they will institute suit against the present holders of the same.

FIERY SOUTH CAROLINA.

When Tillman was Governor and the Supreme Court decided against him in the dispensary case, he quietly waited until he could change the personnel of the court to suit himself No such re- course is left to Governor Evans in the decision of the United States Circuit Court.
 This decision of the Federal judiciary was rendered in suit brought by Ex- Senator Butler and his associates. The suit was instituted against the Governor and Commissioner of Elections, to pre- vent the holding of an election of dele gates to the Constitutional Convention. The contention was made that the State registration act is unconstitutional; also, that conspiracy existed to deprive the

FIVE SPEECHES
To Be Delivered by MT. Carlisle on ''s
 Money"

To Be Delivered by MT. Carlisle on "Sound
 Money
 Washington, May 9.-Secretary Carlisle will deliver five speeches in favor of "sound money" four of which will be made in Kentucky. In his native state he will deliver addresses at Covington, Bowling Green, Louisville and Lexing ton, and one before the sound money convention at Memphis on May g. The first speech in Kentucky will be made at Covington, his home, on May or 20. From there he will go to Memphis Tenn, and during the last week in May will make speeches at the other three points named.
 The dates have yet to be fixed for these places. His first speech, that at Coving- ton, will be a democratic political ad- dress. It has been carefully prepared and will be the keynote of the adminis- tration in its campaign for a "sound and safe currency" in opposition to what is termed silver monometallism. The Mem- phis, Tenn, address will be strictly non partisan. The other addresses will fol- low very closely the lines laid down in his Covington speech. MT. Carlisle is in excellent health and fine voice. and capable of sustaining his reputation as a forcible and effective public speaker.

THE SOUTHERN RAILWAY
Now Virtually Controls the Railway System
 of the South.

of the South.
 That a great railroad deal has been going on in the south was made plain when the terms were made known of the settlement of the Southern railway and Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton diff faculties. The latter old and respectable road about year ago was seized with a desire to extend its railway system into the southern states. It had neglected in numerable opportunities in the past to do this and of sudden woke up it's shortcomings in this respect. Accord ingly the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Day. ton, when Count Erlanger's interest in the Cincinnati Southern was offered for sale, made a bold bid to get it, and thus get control of an important artery lead ing into southern territory.
 But in the meanwhile the Southern Railway company had been organized. This corporation also desired this same Cincinnati Southern railroad system, or at least a great portion of it. When the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton and the Southern Railway company locked horns over this question 1t was expected that disastrous railway war would fol- low but it seems the Southern railway has easily won and is now master of the situation
 The importance of the incident lies in the fact that 1t shows how strong the Southern Railway company is getting to be. It in fact controls the Southern railway system. It is true that the Louis vile and Nashville has some important roads in Tennessee and Alabama, and also that the Illinois Central has an inn portant line running into New Orleans, but the English capitalists who control these roads can easily be brought to act in accord with the Vanderbilts who are the real owners of the Southern Railway system. So that it can be said that the south has entirely lost control of it's railways, and that their roads are rapid 1y getting under a single management. This remark, of course, only applies to that portion of the south lying east of the Mississippi river.
 The south will be benefited by all this. It will get railroad service better than it ever dreamed of, and it will introduce solvency and regularity into all it's busi- ness affairs. The danger will be to the whole country. and this danger will be that so large a corporation will control southern votes, and thus control na- tional legislation. Perhaps it is prema- ture to talk about this, and yet an oc- casonal suggestion of it seems proper New York Indicator.

It is searching all the thousands of newspapers in the United States to catch the Age-Herald copying some of their editorials. much more profitable employment would be to watch the great dailes and catch them copying from the Age Herald.

 Now if there is a single expression of editorial opinion in the above clipping from the Age-Herald, or any attempt at making readers believe that the writer sits at his desk and deliberately moves men on lthe Republican chess board, making and unmaking Republican Pres idential candidates, we are ready to plead guilty to the crime of plagiarism of which the State stands clearly con- victed. But what the Age-Herald said is d mere recital of facts-facts collected from an hundred sources. Not an ex- pression is used by the Philadelphia Times that was not used by other paperA before and since May 1. As well might the State be accused of a breach of lit erary honesty in giving expression to the same views on the silver question as those held and expressed by Captain Kolb's Tribune and other Alabama Pop ulists. and by Senators Peffer, Jones and Stewart. For this sin we do not charge the State with plagiarism, but with fol- lowing the leadership of the wrong crowd.
 The State will have to try again in it's effort to draw the Age-Herald into the pit wherein it has fallen. We reproduce the parallel for the judgment of the pub lie.
