PULL FOR THE WEST.
Senator Squire, of Washington, is in
teresting himself to secure, if possible,
the contract for some of the naval ves-
sells provided for at the last session of

sured that the people of the western
slope shall have an opportunity to put
in bids on these also.

FAN AMERICAN SABBATH" '"

Mayor Strong of New York has been addressing some of the city's Republi- can clubs on the subject of ''An Ameri- can Sabbath and finds much of inter est to say. At one meeting he re- marked: = .t/f
 q would like to know what the American Sabbath is. Out in Helena, Montana, they make a holiday of it, and they are pretty good Americans out there too. Yet it is not necessary to go to Montana to find differences. The Sunday of New York does not differ moe widely from the Sunday of Podunk than Sunday in Chicago, St. Louis, New Orleans, Cleveland. Buffalo and Brook lyn differs from the Sunday of small New England and Southern cities. I, like all other true Americans, believe in freedom of conscience for indi- viduals and local option for communi- ties. believe in Sunday law which the people would observe without the aid of the police-a law that nine tenths of the people will say is right"

The grand jury will probably learn before it adjourns what becomes of the peoples money, and how much that new jail cost, and if as reported the iron work could have been done at home some five thousand dollars less that was paid to St. Louis contractors These things need investigation. and this is the character of jury that will do it fearlessly.-G Gazette.
 If the board of supervisors would publish it's official proceedings so that the people could know what becomes of the money, it would save itself a great deal of criticism. Under the sys- tem of keeping its proceedings secret there is an opportunity that creates suspicion. The grand jury should look into the matter, and also make recon mendations that if carried out will keep the people informed as to what expenditures are being made by the board

The scheme of building an electric airline railway line between Chicago and St. Louis. which was to make the 300 miles between the two cities in three hours, appears to have been drop ped. But it's "soul goes marching on. ' for now the Illinois Central is to use electricity on its suburban lines in Chicago upon which hundreds of thousands of people are carried daily and where trains are run every five minutes. The innovation. it is believ- ed will effect an immense saving in wages and coal bills and yet conduce to better and more rapid service. One of the city's main elevated railways is already equipped as trolley system and with great success.

Is war expected with England? Sen ator Chandler, indeed, predicts it's near approach, and sees us in alliance with
 Russia for a general attack on the in- solent and overbearing power. Does he expect any such result during the present administration, which achieved such @ record in the Nicaragua busi- ness? Does he suppose that the next administration, which probably will be Republican, is going to depart from the standing rule of our diplomacy to ab- stain from alliances? It is true that at present Russia is on the verge of a
 quarrel with England over the terms exacted of China to the disadvantage Of English trade, and that she would like some assurance of active friendship on our side. But we are not going to war with England for several good reasons, one being that she will take good care to give us no occasion for war. It is

A PRESENT DANGER.

One of the curiosities of American law-making is the fact that stringent regulations are made, concerning dis eases of domestic animals, while the maladies of man are left to regulate themselves or to be regulated by indi- vidual physicians If a COW has tu- berculosis the animal is killed and the pasture wherein it has grazed is quar- antined that the disease may not spread. But the human with the same disease is unrestricted in all his com munications with his uninfected fel- lows and the room wherein he dies is speedily turned over to a new and healthy occupant without thought of the consequences. Pupils and teachers afflicted with the dread disease are to be found in the school rooms of every city and yet there is no outcry for the peo- pie are ignorant and the authorities are apathetic Here is an element more potent than drink, and yet not a hand is raised toward it's regulation. Some day before millenial time the peo- pie will be wiser and the government less prone to sentimentality.

Austin, Tex, Oct. 3.-(Speclal)-
Hon. II. l.. Smith, the colured repre-
sentative from Colorado county, says
concerning his vote on the anti-prize
fight act:
II am really glad that this Corbett-
Fitzsimmons slugging match became
such n burning question as TO necessi-
tate an extra session OF the legislature.
The storm is over the moral atmOs-
phere is cleared and Texas has got an
advertisement of a kind that will
really help her at home and abroad.
II has given the negroes OF this state
through their representatives an OPP
portunity to ally themselves with that
element Of citizenship representing the
top crest OF the wave of morality, obe-
dicnce to law and order. and respect
for the fair name OF our state. AS Il
race. we have. often been charged with
a leaning towards laxlty In moral mat
tiers and with a proneness to combine
with the Objectionable element among
the whites, My position has been from
the start concerning this proposed
smuggling match that the state OF Texas
could not AFFORD to permit an object
lesson OF this nature to be given its
youth, and have so expressed myself.
The advertisement Il would receive
would not be such as would really
benefit II. Myself and my race col
league, Mr.. Haller, are relOicc1 nj the
wave of popular indignation and con-
domination that has swept over the
state. We look for It to flow until all
monstrOus infractions OF the law such
as mob violence and white-capping will
no longer be tolerated within the bor-
ders OF our fair land, We would like
TO have our white friends throughout
the state and the Union know that the
negro can be depended upon 10 unite

TROUBLESOME LION.
w. A. GARNER SUES THE PACIFIC
EXPRESS COMPANY.
A Portion of "DnnieI Doone's" Fam
Gus Animal Show is Cause
of the Trouble.

An African lion figured in Judge
Armstrong's court yesterday Not that
the lion was there himself but
he was the spirit OF spirited contro-
versy. The case is styled w. A. Gar
ner against the Pacific Express COM
pany, and the suit is for $3.50. half
the alleged value of n lion.
The origin of the case rests with the
breaking up OF Daniel Boone's animal
show in this town last spring At that
time. 1t seems, Mr.. Garner was made
trustee, into whose hands was placed
some of the remains of the show. The
bill of Mr.. Gamers states that on or
about the Sd of April he entrusted to
the Pacific Express company lion
named sultan" for transportation to
New York city. He says the express
company took the lion to deliver to
James Bailey. and to collect from him
the sum of 1850, In addition to the
express charges. He alleges that the
company delivered the lion. but faileo
to collect ana return the money as per
contract. Therefore. he prays the hon
orahle court to give him u judgment
for $3.50.
For reply, the Pacific Express COM
pany sets up that they, through their
connections, delivered tho lion in the

agent of the company was then i'm

scented to take II for a few days, hut
he never agreed to pay the amount
due on 1t. He declared that he had
agreed to pay Boone $3.50 FOR lion.
and had advanced $500 ON 1t, tut that
this was not such beast as e bought
and he would not let this lion leave
his place till he had been repaid the

that he anticipated such an enactment.
We don't propose to be dragged over

where the fight could take place, but

shows that dirty work was intended.
