The Possibility of an Air Line Connecting

 Capt. A. F. Prince and MT. R. c. Me Calla. Jr., the committee appointed by the Commercial club to confer with Man. ager Jackson of the Standard Coal com pany relative to the building of rail- road between Brookwood and Tuska- 1ocsa, spent yesterday with the latter gentleman, and the project was fully and freely discussed, says the Tuskaloosa Times. MT. Jackson expressed himself as heartily favorng the road and the committee feels much encouraged over the result of the conference.
 The leaVen is working and it is barely possible that before long our people will be called on to demonstrate by their acts whether or not they desire the road. Such line would be of incalculable benefit to Tuskaloosa, and we trust every citizen will do all in his power to further the project.
 Should they take hold of it with the proper spirit we predict it will not be long before the "Tuskaloosa and Brookwood Air Line" will have become a substantial reality

A we'll known travelling man who is
connected with Portland business house
and who quite often visits Astoria, tells
a good story about a scene which he wit
messed one day last week. The principal
In It was a young man who also travels
for q Portland house, but was out on his
second trip and consequently not up to
snuff. The affair happened In a smoking
car of a Northern Pacific train. The
young man in question was seated with
a man who trayels for Portland clothing
house, when they were approached by
a fine looking man, who proposed game
of euchre. A fourth man was easily
found, and the game began. 1t was the
same old thing. The nice looking man
and the fourth party were confederates,
bet each other on every deal as to the
value of their hands under the rules OF
poker. Soon the intended victim was
given an ace full on kings. The confed,
crates began to bet, and the young man
asked If he could get in. The pair were
agreeable The young man bet IS. The
first confeder e raised him $40 and the
second raised them both $40. The young
man put up his $40 and called. One of the
confederates showed four sevens and pull,
ed down the money. The train stopped
at Seattle just then and the sharpers
jumped off. The clothing man, who was
suspicious and did not bet, then informed
the young man that he had been done
up. The young man lost all the money
he had been given to work the Sound.

ton of Crisp to the speakership of the
sd and SO congresses and said that they
had met the third time to honor him,

triots with full knowledge that our dec
laratlon will be impotent

occasion or place to inquire. | believe
1t is not because any great number OF
those who have heretofore followed the
Democratic standard have deserted Their
flag. Our party has heretofore buried in
forgotten graves every political organza-
tion that has ever contended against it.,
end we have an abiding faith that II wiz
do the same with its present great rival.
To do so, all strife should cease In our
own family. We should inscribe on our
banner the policy and the principles OF
the great and triumphant Democracy;
continue to attle for the reduction of the
taxation of the people; for an ample cir
culating medium for our trade and COM
merce; foN sound money, the gold and sill,
yer coinage of the constitution, and then
Democracy will be again triumphant and
the country will be redeemed and re-
generated"
Crisp responded briefly, expressing his
thanks. There was no tendency to bring
financial questions forward although gold
and free silver leaders were both present.

orators are looking forward anxiously to
the report OF the secretary of the treas

as they may bear on the currency situa-
ton Currency reforms are unusually
active at present and impress upon the
financial community that the reason gold
continues to go out is because our cur
rency is diluted with deprecated silver
and fat paper. They forget that France
which has within the last 20 years ac-
cumulated the largest stock Of gold the
world has ever seen, contains in Its cur
rency a vast volume Of this so-called de-
preclated silver and fat paper.
Why is It, then, that France accumn-
lated gold while the United States IT,
steadily losing It? The answer woulc
seem to lie in the difference between the
economic policies of the two countries.

After England's vacillating policy In

direct, vigorous words on tho subject
are refreshing. With all the force and
vigOr which he ever displayed when In

work" with the Armcnians and called
upon her majesty's government to take
such action US will forever prevent u
repetition of the Outrages. The entire
nation, he thinks, Is ready. irrespective
OF party, to support the government In
whatever steps OF this kind 1t may take.
He would have England refuse to nc.
cept any more Of the Turks promises.
Tho way to accept the sultan's promise
OF reform Is to make It impossible for
him to break the promise. The rest OF
Christian civilization echoes Mr.. Glad
stones words. England. with her M.
merous interna tiOnal complications, hns
been strangely timid to take harsh
measures with Turkey. 1t IL time fOl
another line of action ana 1t IL emin
entity fitting that the inspiring force IN
this movement should come from Glad

IL hardly conceivable that the rest OF
Christian Europe should fail to lend hel
Its support.
