A Writer Replies TO What He Con-
siders Unjust Criticism.
Mondays Herald published lot of
jargon concerning the weakness of
atheism and as the writer appears to
be utterly ignorant of the facts or cir
cumstances of the case 1 hope you will
allow me space to correct what I re-
gard as fallacies and what know to
be misstatements. The statement is
made that since Bradlaugh gained his
point when writing for what The called
a principle" all interest in him appear
ed TO cease and the atheistic-socialist
stock went down to zero and now the
principal organization is unable to pay
the rent of a single hall in the great
city of London. The above is taken
by The Herald from the San Francisco
Chronicle, which takes it from the New
York Sun, which takes it from God
knows where ard is one of the periodi-
cal ISLANDERS on atheism and atheists
circulated by ignorant Christians or
newspaper men who have to Dander to
the spirit which caused Charles Brad
laugh such a bitter but glorious fight
for what he called and what I call a
principle a principle, too, worthy of
that brilliant mans highest abilities
But 1 doubt if the truth about that
famous fight in the house of commons
will ever be battered into the head of
an average Christian, for it seems TO
take the same thing to get truth con-
corning an atheist into Christians
head as it does TO get joke into a
Scotchman's, namely, a surgical opera
ton. Presumably the writer endorses
the whole statement, yet the original
writer, nor yet The Herald writer, un-

FIGHT OF THE RAILROADS.
An Attempt 10 BE Made TO Bring
AbOut Peace.

Atlanta, Ca, July 22.-The executive
board of the Southern Freight Association
was in session to-day, discussing the
seaboard Air Lines cut rates. Different
courses were discussed in secret meet
ing. The prevailing impression on the out.
side is that the southern railroads Will
have to make terms with the Seaboard
line, or sooner or later the rate war viii
spread all over the south. Manufacturers
and wholesalers in the south are now do
ing all their buying in Baltimore, or in
the west, and goods are being shipped
east TO Baltimore and south by the Sea
board TO the loss OF all the rail lines TO
the west, as well as New York and other
eastern points. The Seaboard evidently
means TO force terms or demoralize rates
and break up the freight association,
which is shaky now.
After 4 discussion lasting all dav the
board appointed a committee to confer
with Vice President ST John, who will
be here IN the morning. This committee
will attempt TO arrange an honorable
peace between the Seaboard ana the
