A SLOW TRAIN.

DISTINCTIONS On the Road Arose to Elk
cusa an Engineers Hardness
Southern railroads have a reputation
for slow travel, and in some cases IT IS
vel meri,ed. declares Harper's Round
Table. \ Western travelling man,
making trip on these lines, suffered a
great deal Of annoyance from this par
ticular falling. but up to the time OF the
following incident he had enjoyed him
self immensely guying the conductors,
trainnen. or any person having any
thing to do With the roads, about their
rapid transit.
He was travelling one afternoon on
an exceptionally slow train, which
came TO a stop every now and then
without any apparent cause. After eX-
messing himself very aud.bly 20 the
passengers he resigned himself to the
inevitable and dozed off into short
maps. which were interrupted by the
sundry Jerks Of the train, at which he
complained. The passengers showed
their ANNOYANCE at these complaints by
angry looks The conductor had eX-
cused the engineer in every possible
way. The last apology had been that
cattle INSTRUCTED the track. The rain
had started aga,n and had proceeded
about ten minutes, when it halted with
a Jerk. Up walked the impatient tray-
eller. and pe,u,anuy remarked:
Dear, dear! I suppose, conductor
this worse than slow train has struck
another herd Of cattle?"
"Struck another one?-not much, ~
replied the conductor. We've simply
caught up again with the first herd we
ran into. that's all
The traveller subs.ded and the con-
ductor was left in peace.

on passenger fares or freights. All that
he ever did against us never amounted to
this tremendous usurpation. This in
wolves everything. These corporations
not being in his receivers hands and
being solvent, the injunction he granted
against them is equal to saying the
United States court shall haye the right
to say what corporation shall not charge
for hauling freight or passengers, and il
we concede the courts right to say what
our solvent corporations shall not charge,
the logical result is they will thereby
achieve the right to say what private cor
porations shall charge. But mark my
words, this usurpation of this judge will
play part in the present national CAM
paign. For, if we concede such rights In
the Federal courts all liberty of person,
as illustrated in the Debs case; all safety
of property, as illustrated in the present
case; all rights of the American citizen
will be engulfed in the awful usurpation
of these eonscienceless judges. Criticise
them yes, we have the right to criticise
them, and if they force us much further
the people will right their wrongs by
choking them or hanging them."

VEGETABLE LARD.

June Moore, the Liberian Negro who
was in The ENQUIRER Office the other
day, of course told US many things about
his country that could not be used in one
short article, and some of them were es-
pecially interesting. The manner in which
the natives get their lard is worth repeat
ing.
"We don't use hog lard in our country"
he said. "Our lard grows on trees. We
make it from the nut Of the palm trees,
The nut is first stripped Of the husk and
then boiled in water. A white looking
oil that rises to the top is skinned off and
put away. 1t is the finest thing for cook
ing purposes you ever saw; but nobody
will eat 1t but the natives and those OF us
who have grown accustomed to it.
would rather have it than hog lard. The
only hog lard we have is what we buy fol-
the missionaries and other white people
It comes from America mostly, and NO
body but the white people will buy it.
sour vegetable lard" continued Moore
''the natives call 'neechita.' And there is
still another use for it. When it gets old
and rancid, unfit for use as lard, it Is sold
to the Europeans for soap. In this con-
dition it is called 'bochita.' 1t makes 8
splendid article of soap and brings good

PUBLIC OPINION.

A great many people in this country
have an idea that newspapers mould
public opinion" Never was there
greater fallacy, nor one more difficult tc
eradica te from the average mind.
The function of a newspaper is to give
the news just as it happens, whether II
likes that news or not, and when it makes
comments, 10 stick absolutely to the
truth. Such course is bound to ensure
respect and success. 1t is the only course
that will ensure these things. But under
these conditions there can be no mould.
ing of public opinion. There Is only the
mere reflection.
When all the big New York newspa-
pers that had previously been Democrat,
ic declared against the Chicago platform,
it was an universal opinion that the "free
coinage craze' would certainly be smoth-
ed in the great metropolis. They thought
that these "moulders ofpublic opinion
would certainly carry the city for the
gold standard. But not so. Mr.. Hearst,
the proprietor of The Journal, realizing
fully the truth of the idea expressed
above, and also that there was strong
public sentiment in favor of free coinage,
had his paper declare for the Chicago
platform. The effect was magical. AT
the time the circulation of The Journal
was only about 100000. Immediately the
figures began to increase by great bounds
at the rate of from 5000 to 10000 day,
and now the circulation is between 100000
and $1,000 daily.
There is such thing as newspaper
"moulding'' public opinion, but it can
only be done by deception and by stealth
No true newspaper man can ever resort
to such tactics, for even if he is dishonest
enough to do so he surely has sense enough
to know that such policy will lead to dis
aster inevitable. But no one will claim
that the New York Journal, now one OF
the most powerful of contemporaries, has
been "moulding'' public opinion. The
facts in the case prove conclusively that it
has done nothing bat reflect"

THAT REBATE MATTER.
Mixson Says Duncan's Statement Was Un-
authorized.

Mixson Says Duncan's Statement Was Un-
authorized.
LIQUOR Commissioner F. M. Mixson,
after attending the campaign meeting
at Barnwell yesterday, returned to
the city last night. At that meeting,
as the campaign report will show,
Candidate John T. Duncan stated a
good many things about rebates, etc.,
in connection with the dispensary
business. Mr.. Mixson was seen this
morning, and in view of the fact that
he sat silently on the stand and heard
Mr.. Duncan say what he did about
the rebate business he was asked it
what Mr.. Duncan said was true. MIR.
Mixson did not have IN inclination to
give much out for publication. This
question was asked: "Did you give
Mr.. Duncan the information
Colonel Mixson would not answer
the question, but branched off and
said :"You can say this {: The statement
made by Mr.. Duncan at the Burnwell
meeting with reference to the rebate
on whisky purchased from the Mill
Creek company was perfect surprise
to me and it was wholly unauthorized
by me. The only whisky l as COM
missioner ever purchased from the
Mill Creek Distilling company was
several days after was elected COM
missioner. On this occasion l pur-
chased by wire two carloads of whis-
ky. The company at first did not
want to give any rebates on that
amount purchased, but I communica-
ted with them, and finally they con-
sented to give 5 per cent. off as a
rebate. That is on my books, and is
on the bills for the whisky, and can
be found in my quarterly report. Not
drop of whisky has been purchased
from this firm since then"
The reporter kept on asking ques-
tions of Colonel Mixson as to whether
or not he had spoken to Mr.. Duncan
about the rebate business, and if ne
told Mr.. Duncan what the latter had
said at the Barnwell meeting. MIR.
Mixson replied "You simply publish
what have given you; that's all"
Colonel Mixson says that $2l 900 In
rebates was given to the dispensary last
year on liquors purchased, and all the
rebates obtained are on his books and
can be seen in his quarterly reports

attention of the people of this country
has been distracted from Cuba, Gen
eral Weyler is pushing his campaign
of fire and murder with more energy
than ever. Within the past few
weeks he has burned more than 5000
houses that were occupied only by
women and children. The men were
absent in the patriot army. The
shooting of Cuban prisoners continues
to be of almost daily occurrence.
