INDIANS PRESENT COMPLAINTS.
o~galaIIah and BruIe Sioux at the Interior

There was a picturesque scene in tho
office of Assistant indian Commissioner
smith, Washington, when about seventy
I've Ogalallah and Brule Sioux OF Buffalo
Bins Wild West Show called to have a pow
wow in regard to affairs affecting their in-
Ierests. The Indians were fine specimens of
physical manhood, AMI were bedecked with
ieathered head dress, and their features were
decorated with variegated color5 of paint.
There were three squaws and ono pappooso
among them, the latter occupying the atten-
lion of the lady clerks, who fed 1t sugar and
treated the little redskin to a ride on the
elevator, much to its delight.
Several chiefs addressed Commissioner
Smith through an interpreter, reviewing
their affairs, and one old warrior, who spoke
at length, said that if he told OF the un-
fulfilled promises of the Government to the
Indians the show would a to be post
poned, as it would take him two days to do
it. One Of the principal complaints Of the
Indians was the reduction in the price paid
them for hauling freight.
Commissioner Smith replied to the speak,

ment in regard to their affairs. Colonel

A RAILROAD RESOLUTION.

Representative johnson of Hall has
introduced a resolution aimed at the
present organization of the Southern
Railway, charging that it's plan of con-
solidating, combining and absorbing
other railroad properties in this state
has the effect, or is intended to have the
effect, to defeat or lessen competition,
which is violation of the constitution
and the laws and against the public poi
lev. The resolution seeks to have all
such consultations declared invalid and
the charters of the offending roads re-
voked.
Mr.. Johnson is somewhat belated with
his measure. The Southern has already
frightened it's ills around most of the
southern railway systems, large or small,
and is apparently so firmly established
as to be almost impregnable.
The resolution was in response to a
recommendation of the state railroad
commission, and might have done some
good had it come sooner.

CONSIDER OUR CIRCUMSTANCES.

We beg to remind our patrons that the
year is fast slipping away, and that a
surprisingly small number have settled
their subscription dues to THE NEWS.
These amounts, apparently trif.ng when
considered separately, make good
round sum in the aggregate, and, in the
case of the average weekly newspaper,
constitute its chief source of income.
We trust our friends will do us the kind
ness to make settlement without delay.
We have waited long and patiently-in
some instances even beyond the limit OF
reason or business prudence-and our
necessities will not permit US to wait
longer. Please settle at once. If you
live at distance send your remittances
through the mail. If You reside in the
county take day off and come to see.us.

the SENATORIAL CONTEST.

The contest for the United Stated SEN
atorship may now be said to be ON in a
mild form. The speech of Hon. Chas.
F. Crisp before the legislature is regard
ed as the opening gun, and Hon. F. q.
duBignon and Hon. Hoke Smith, upon
invitation of that body, will soon fire
from the same rostrum.
Mr.. Crisp declared for the free and
unlimited coinage of both gold and sill
yer. and made an exceedingly strong and
plausible argument in favor of this theory
of finance. Mr.. Smith will discuss the
financial question from the administra-
ton standpoint, and will uphold the
policy of Mr.. Cleveland. Mr.. dub gnons
friends say that while he is in favor OF
"sound money"-that is, opposed to free
silver coin age-he will attack the policy
of the administration in making its obi
cations payable in gold exclusively, and
that he will criticise the recent govern
ment bond issues as an objectionable
folly and national discredit.
The people have heard Mr. Crisp, they
know in advance what Mr.. Smith will
say, and we don't suppose they will be
long in doubt as to where Mr.. duBignon
stands.

AFTER THE USURERS.

Senator Jess Mercer, the active and
energetic member from the ninth district,
is in evidence again. This time he is
after the usurers. He has introduced a
red-hot bill, the effect of which might be
to make extreme usury felony. His bill
provides that
ANY person or persons, or president,
cashier or other officer of any corporation
who shall charge a greater rate Of inter-
est for the use of money than Is per cent
per annum shall be held and deemed
guilty of felony, and upon conviction
shall be punished by imprisonment in
the penitentiary for term not less than
one nor more than five years"

THE SOUTHERN RAILROAD AND
 BIRMINGHAM.

The Southern Railway company which has just assumed control of the Alabama Great Southern road. is perhaps the wealthiest corporation that has ever made investments in the South. It is a great power for good or for evil. It can do wonderful things for the development of this section, and no reason appears why it should not do so. The Southern has all it's investments in the South and is therefore dependent upon the growth of this section for it's own success. Its lines run through the States of Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee and Mississippi and the people and lands of these seven States constitute it's sole dependence. Therefore, from a plain. blunt business view, it is evident that the Southern will prove friendly to the South; that it will afford every facility for honest and fair transportation rates, and will do nothing to hinder Southern progress
 Birmingham will watch with interest the movements of the Southern since it has become so closely identified with this city. The great corporation must realize the value and importance of its Birmingham holdings. This is really the termini of five of the Southern's lines one from Atlanta, one from Greeuville, one from Chattanooga, one from Merid- ian and one from Sema-hence the Southern has large interests here. The shops of the Alabama Great Southern together with the shops of the Georgia Pacific. form the nucleus for the erection and maintenance here of the largest railroad machine shops in the South and the numerous lines of the Southern entering here point clearly to the fact that such shops will be needed, and Bir- mingham's position as the Southerns great central point makes certain the fact that here the shops will be run, affording employment to hundreds of men and support to thousands of people.
 Up to the present time the Southern has not made Birmingham official headquarters, only one division superin- tendent being located here, and none of the passenger and freight officials. Now it is evident that they must come this way, not to assist Birmingham, but for cold business reasons.
 The Age-Herald is inclined to take a hopeful view of the situation, when it carefully counts the general conditions which point so cetainly to the fact that the Southern has a very large eye on Birmingham, since it now has greater interests right here than at any other point touched by its great system of roads.
