Hanna is still debating the question
whether or not he win allow his mort
gagged man Mckinley to go on the stump
i'm the campaign.

News from the Eighth Congressional
district is very meager. Everything ap-
pears to be still in doubt. General
Wheeler and Judge Richardson both
claim the nomination. 1t is very prob
able that a vote in the convention Will
be necessary to decide the contest.
Birmingham state herald. (Birmingham, Ala.) 1895-1897, 1896-08-19

The Alabama legislature will have fail
ed to discharge it's full duty if it adj
journs without the enactment of laws to
put an end to the commissary system,
but in order to get the legislation our
business and working men must do their
part. Now is the time to be getting
ready. Get the bills prepared and have
them introduced on the first day. Have
the facts ready and stay by them until
justice is done. That's the kind of work
that wins,

Senator Stephen B. Ellkins of West Vir-
ginia will be one of the big guns on the
stump this fall to aid Hanna in the effort
to get his mortgaged man into the White
House on a British gold standard plat
form Like the rest of-them, Elkins, too,
has a record on the financial question.
At Paramount, Va, on the 18th of June,
1894 Mr.. Elkins said in public speech:
"Silver is the money of the constitution
as much as gold; the people will have sill
yer for money and fight for it, and the
contest will not end until it has its prop
er place in the monetary system of the
country
1.-THE people are too intelligent to per-
nit values to be measured by gold alone,
the production of which is relatively di-
minishing in the world. This would make
money dearer and property cheaper. Sill
yer should be used as well as gold, and
the parity between the two maintained.
The time will come when the silver in the
treasury will perform the functions of
money as of gold, and the trouble will be
that there is not too much of it, but too
little"

Some OF the Queer Habits Many Of Then
Get Into.
THE Lord is in His holy temple; will
the sexton please shut the door,"
There is an Episcopal minister in
town who entertains his congregation
with such running comments on what
passes before him while he reads the
service. AS he rarely changes his tons
his people are constantly pursuing him
with perplexed glances through the
prayer book. Occasionally the connec-
ton between things mundane and spir'
.itual are so closely made that they occa-
sion embarrassment, as when in the
midst Of a peroration about the scar
let woman he called to a well-known
pewholder to move over and give the
lady a seat.
When preaching, this minister keeps
enc hand or the other jingling coin,
and keys in his pocket, SO as to be plain
~ heard throughout the church These
apparently he provides for the purpose,
Tor one Sunday, by some mischanoe, ono

This same man breaches from little |

his church, mourning over ITS sins and

to get hold OF some member by the

dIction of the Court Whose Temporary
Iniunction Awaits Hearing-Competing
Lines Naturally Likely to Follow Suit
and End the Trouble for the Present
Other Freight Associations Have Inter
ests Involved in the Transaction
Climax of Interesting Litigation.
Washington, Sept 1s-The Seaboard
Air Line has fled with the interstate
commerce commission a notice of the
restoration OF all its rates, not only
within the jurisdiction Of Judge Speer,
but outside OF It, the restoration to take
effect on the 2Sth inst, the same day
that the restoration of rates by the 9TH
er roads within Judge Speer'S 5uriSdic-
ton takes effect It IS probable that
road competing with the Seaboard Air
Line will restore their rates outside OF
Judge Speer's Jurisdiction and that the
rate war VIII remain suspended until
after the hearing on Judge Speer's in
junction.
The Southern States Freight associa-
ton, when they gave notice on Wednes-
day OF the restoration Of rates, confined
the notice 10 points within the jurisdic-
ton OF Judge Speer. The action today
OF the Seaboard, (which started the
rate war. IN restoring all rates on the
2Sth and not confining the restoration
TO points within Judge Speer's jurisdic-
ton, OF course, will render it unneces-
sary for the competing roads 10 con-
sinu ether cut rates.

vania and its coastwise steamer con-
necttons and the Chesapeake and Ohio; |
the Southern States Freight aSSOcia- |
hon, including the Southern and other |
roads, and the roads in the Mississippi |
Valley and Southwestern association |
have all reduced rates in consequence !
Of the war. The commissioners of these /
associations were in telegraphic COM /
m1Inication today and it is probable 4
that notice viii be filed withdrawing all /
cut rates on these lines. The general /
belief here Is that the action of the /

ton IS either dissolved or made perma-
