WARM CONTEST!
An Interesting Battle Over
Wharf Rents.
Trial of George w. SanfOrth's
Suit Against City Begun.
DEGREES Entered in Appellate Divi-
siOn--M0tiOnS Granted.

One OF the most interesting hearings
held in the appellate uivision Of the Su-
preme Court in some time was that in
the case OF Gardiner B. Reynolds & Com
pany VS.. Samuel II. Honey, ct al. before
Chief Justice Matteson, this morning. IL
was not SO much the nicely Of the equity
points involved as IL was the earnestness
shown by counsel and witnesses that
ma de the hearing so attractive.
Colonel William p. Sheffield, Jr., of
Newpot, was counsel for the com plainants,
who have filed a bill of interpleader
to have the court enjoin Mr.. Honey from
bringing any more suits against them.
The complainants are engaged in the coal
business in Newport and hired the Lang
ley wharf for the transaction OF their bus
mess. A large number of persons own
shares in this wharf property and last
summer Mr.. Honey bought one
eighteenth share OF the property
For some years the firm has pa id TO Ed
ward Newton, John :. Langley and j. W.
Langley, who hold power of attorney
from all the parties in interest, il is
claimed, other than the interest pur-
chased by Mr.. Honey The latter gave
the .compla inants notice that they were
TO pay HIM II for every four days they
used the wharf. They failing TO do so
he brought three successive suits against
them for 81 each, and they had TO give
bonIs for 5000
Mr.. Sheffield said his clients were will
ing TO pay into the court one-eig hteenth
OF the rent. Mr.. Honey cross examined
MIR. Reynolds and a mum Der OF other wit
nesses. He made very spirited state
ment of his position IN the case and
claimed>there was cOllusion between the
complainant and other parties in interest.
The Langley wharf adjoins the Com
mercial wharf in Newport and the latter
property has been often the subject OF
court disputes.

VTVISECTION.

Col. Robert G. Ingersoll has sent to the New England Anti-Vivisection so- ciety letter in which he says:
 "Vivisection is the disgrace and shame of some of the sciences A good man would no more think of fiaying living animal than of murdering his mother. It is wonderful that it ever occurred to any human being to dissect any living animal: to so fasten a horse or dog that he could not resist, and then proceed to cut him in pieces for the purpose of aS- certaining certain facts that, by no possi- bility can be of real use to any human being It is still more wonderful that anybody ever did this.
 "The man who cuts a hoof from a liv- ing horse is capable of committing any crime that does not require courage. Such an experiment can be of no use. Millions of living animals have been cut to pieces. Millions of experiments have been tried; all the nerves have been touched Every possible agony has been inflicted, and many volumes have been published filled with the cruelties of these experiments, giving all the details and the results. People who are curious about such things can read these reports. There is no need of repeating such saw age experiments.
 'I believe that 1t is the duty of every civilized man to do what he can to pre- vent the infamous practice of vivisec- tion. Every good man should insist that, if it is necessary in the interest of sci ence to make experiments on animals, they should be rendered insensible to pain. No good man can have the slight est respect for one who cares nothing for the agonies of the lower animals"

Has Won the Belt.
Scottsborro Progressive Age.

ScOttSDorro ProgreSSlVe Age.
 The Montgomery Advertiser has won the belt for newspaper heroism. Imme- diately after the defeat and disgraceful stampede of the administration demo- crats in the nine states in the Novem- Der elections when the gold standard democrats were routed on every field, including three states, Kentucky, Mary land and New Jersey, which have never given a republican victory before in their history, and when the only respectable show of strength was where all the can didates but one were free silver men, and where they were loaded down with a gold platform and an administration indorsement which clearly caused their defeat. While the people were dazed and astounded with overwhelming defeat, be- fore they had time to collect their. thoughts, the Montgomery Advertiser came out with its double-leaded editorial proclaiming it's panacea for all our dem- ocratic woes. The people read with breathless anxiety the remedy which the Advertiser put forth with so much sem blance of party loyalty.
 What was the remedy proposed as the terms on which we could have unity and party success? Some great concession or sacrifice, one would naturally sup pose from the Advertisers side. Well, here it is. All men to lay aside their con- victions on the free silver question-come with one accord and nominate w. c. Oates for governor on a gold platform and an administration idorsement plat form and we would have great victory. The medicine is. in the main, the same old dose that caused the trouble In the late elections. The patient is suffering from nausia now, and the remedy Is to give it more of the same medicine. Now, wouldn't any disinterested doctor, who had the welfare of his patient at heart. say change the treatment? If the Gro yer gold treatment wouldn't do in Mary land, New Jersey and Kentucky, ought we not to change it? We see how the silver medicine brought Mississippi out an right and how small mixture of it in Kentucky saved us from disgraceful defeat. Now, why not profit by their experience? We would not be surprised if the Advertiser would not rather see the patient die than take the silver treat ment and live. All gold men had better prepare themselves The old time democ- racy is in the saddle--no foolishness You can't control them by this pretended want of harmony, which offers no sac rifice and no reward except the new financial dogma of the gold standard {; fered by John Sherman and the republi- can party.
 Now we say democrats ought to unite and be at peace and work together but the way to do that is to renounce your new gold heresy and come on with the boys" travel the old democratic high. way that our fathers travelled. Keep out of the republican ruts and get back in the old way. Why can't you gold men lay aside your new ways and come with us?
 Every democrat from Alabama in the last congress, except Clarke of Mobile, said 1t was right by their votes and by their works. Nine-tenths of the demo- crats of the south said 1t was right. The democratic executive committee in the

late Confederate states may appropri- ate and expend for the same purpose. In a letter addressed to the Picayune MT. Otey writes
 " It has been said that human nature Is the same all over the world. and 1t would be doing that for which there has never been @ precedent If the gallant sol diers of the north would agree to pen- sion their adversaries. To this l answer that the United States has never waited for precedents, but has established them The emotions of it's great heart are not measured by the cold throbs of the hearts Of other nations. This bill appeals to your heart, and is but echoing the mag nanimity of Gen. U. S. Grant. when he wrote to Pemberton, saying: "Men who have shown so much endurance and courage ,as those under your command will challenge the respect of any adyer- sary." And again when he sent the pris- oners away from Appomattox, telling them to take their horses, as they would need them to raise corn" When In At lanta he was asked to go out and review the scenes of his great triumphs. He said: I cannot bear to go and view those fields where so many heroes of both sides have fallen
 The pensions paid to northern soldiers lay tax of $2.50 on each man, woman and child in the United States, while Major Otey's bill would call for burden of 11s cents on each head of population and it would only be giving back pit tance of the wealth that was taken away from the southern people.
 Possibly the northern people may rise up to the noble standard which the Vlr- ginia congressman has set for them. The opportunity is at least given them to do a graceful act of justice.

DISABLED CoNFEDBRATEs.

The Hon. Peter J. Otey, member of congress elect from the Sixth Cor Lynch burg) district of Virginia. has sent to the Picayune the text of bill which he. pro- poses to offer in the first session of the Fifty-fourth congress. The object of this bill is to make some provision for the dis abled and dependent Confederate sol diers in the southern states. The Plea yune says:
 "This interesting bill proposes that this provision ought to be made out of the restoration of property seized and carried off or consumed by the armies of the United States during the prosecution of the war, and for which no returns have ever been made.
 "The bill sets forth that war for the preservation of the union resulted in the destruction of many millions of dollars worth of property and the impoverjsh- ment of the southern people. and among these people were left and still remain many men who were southern soldiers, but who were disabled and rendered de pendent; and whereas the forces of the United States captured from the people of the Confederate States, non-combat- ants and others, abandoned property, which was sold and covered into the treas ury of the United States. amounting to S27 OO0 600, and if interest were allowed, probably reaching $50, ,O00 900. 1t is pro- posed that at least this s27 900 should be utilized for the relief of the disabled and dependent Confederate veterans
 ITO this end the enacting clause of the bill declares that there should be ap- propriated from the treasury of the United States, out of any money not ap- propriated. a sum not to exceed 5 per centum per apnum on $27. 900. 900, which has been covered in the treasury as the proceeds of sales and profits of what is known as captured and abandoned prop erty, to be applied for the benefit of the disabled and dependent ex-Confederate soldiers in proportion as each state of the

LOSING CASTE.

The Mobile Register, paper at one time in Alabama considered generally 10 be presided over by pretty level headed man. has actually gone wild in it's ray ings. It has grown even more desperate than the Advertiser. In other words, it is now out heroding Herod. Last Sun day the following paragraph appeared at the head of the first column on the edito- rial page:
 "The reader who is concerned in the political outlook for the democratic party in this state, will obtain some informa- tion of value by reading the opinions Of the state press upon the governorship which we print in a neighboring col umn."
 Now in the neighboring column the reader, who is in the class of readers ai- luded to, would have expected to ma opinions from at least seventy-five to an hundred state papers How great then must have been his disappointment when upon appealing to the neghboring col umn to which his attention had been so conspicuously directed he finds the opinz ions of only thirteen papers out of the whole of some two hundred papers pub- lished in Alabama Yes, out of the entire list the Register succeeded in getting a list of thirteen, and among them the Adj vertiser, who in some degree gave ex- pressions disappearing the candidacy of Captain Johnston. If, on a careful can- vass, as the Register evidently made, only thirteen papers are to be found in the objective case. is the thing really not about as nearly unanimously as 1t could reasonably be expected to get it? The Register is loosing caste by trying to out Advertiser the Advertiser.

last presidential election sent broadcast over the state their written appeal to the people. in which they said free silver was right. and the people followed them. Now who Is it trying to lead them away from this established doctrine?
 It would do no good to nominate Gov ernor Oates on a silver platform. He Is a good man, but the people won't stand that sort of double dealing or straddling. nor would Governor Oates accept such a position. The people will have this free silver plank in their platform.
 There is no use in trying to poke fun at John T. Morgan or J. L. Pugh; the people know they have no superiors in wisdom, experience or patriotism; the people know these men are not to be underrated by newspaper men, who for years have taught the people that these men were the grandest lights we had In Alabama
