EXCISE BOARD COMMENDED

EAClSE BOARD COMMENDED-
The board of excise has received from
two additional sources words OF COM
fnendation OF what seems to be accepted
as its determination not to license liquor
saloons in the Division.
Both come in the form or resolutions,
formally adopted, and are, respectively. as
follows:
Whereas the excise board has refused
to license any saloons In that section OF
the city known as the Division, in which
are located houses of ill-repute, therefore,
Resolved, That the Central Union Mis-
sion heartily approves and indorses this
actiou-
Resolved further, That the mission ex
presses abhorrence at the recognized cX-
isteDce of this moral pest in the midst OF
our beautiful city, and deprecates the
prevalence of the false sentiment which
permits the continuance of tins evil, and
urges that vigorous measures be taken to
rid the city OF this horrible blot
The resolutions Were adopted unani-
mously by the mission board of directors
ard are signed by A. l.. SwartwouI as SET
retary.
The other is a transcript from the pro-
ceedings of the Anti-Saloon League, at the
meeting held ON the evening OF the Sd in
stant, heartily indorsing the action of At
tOrney Albert f. Shoemaker lin the matter
OF the promised rejection by the excise
board OF applications for liquor licenses in
that part OF the city known as the .Di-
vision,'" and the board is assured that
the promised action will be gratefully wei
coined by the sixty-flve organizations -
| which at present form the league.
The communication is signed by President
James l.. Ewin and Secretary Jesse c. Suter.
Both the foregoing are intended to sup
plenent the action OF the ministers OF the
| city, whose paper upon the same subject
was filed about week go.

ATTACKED THE BILL.

Mr. Francis Il. " oodbury of the National
Spiritualists' Associa tion attacked the
bin because it was an attempt of the evan
gciicai church to trcspass upon the rights
of these who do not coincide IN evan.eil-
cal views. He objected further. for the
reason that it prohibited Sunday concerts,
the sale or soda ard ether necessaries, in
ciu,Iing cigars. and said he hoped the Com
missioners would net permit religious en-
th,isiaSts to bring down upon their heads
the curses of the people.
The enactment of such a law would in
crease the crop of liars and hypocrites,
and would he the means of causing thou
sands OF bottles OF beer to be sold on
Saturday for consumption on Sunday.
The Closing speech was by Mr.. ID. W.
Groh. who placed his objections upon con-
stiiutiunal grounds. He referred 10 the
reports of the prosecutions of the Arme-
mans. and said if WIS a religious perse-
culion that w,inld find lis counterpart in
this country under such legislation as that
proposed.

"A GOLD BUG PREACHER
MIXES POLITICS WITH A FREE
 SILVER CONGREGATION.
And the Brethren Promptly Pitched
 Him Out of the Window.

PocAHoNTAs, Ark, Aug GA prayer meeting at Dalton school house, in Randolph county was the scene of a riot very rec ently. The trouble was precipitated by comment on the silver question by the preacher, Rev. James Hogart. In the course of his remarks he made some reference to the silver question at which member of the congregation arose and protested against the attempt of the Key. Mr. Hogart to mix religion and politics. The preacher made hot retort, and in an instant great excitement pre- vailed. Some one rushed into the pul. pit and assaulted MT. Hogart; others came to his rescue and in a moment a free-for all fight was in progress. Benches and chairs were upturned; men tore each others clothes, pum- melled each other with their fists and gouged each others eyes. When or- der was finally restored it was found that Hogart had fled during the melee and that while several of the belliger- ents were badly bruised up, no one was badly wounded.
 The words that started the riot was the minister's retort when interrupted by member of his congr egation, and were: Anybody who will vote for free silver ought 10 be pitched into hell head foremost.

PopuIist Chairman of the Campaign Com-
 mittee Gives His Views.
 BIRMINGHAM, Aug. 6.-The following statement signed by Frank Baltxell. secretary of the campaign committee, is furnished the Associated Press and is given for what 1t is worth:
 1.-The election last Monday was char aeterized by frauds more widespread Fan any previous elections and in the blackbelt in defiance to law and con- tempt for opposition, which the law re- quircd to be recognized by from to 10 representatives at every poll. In Mont. gomery at the courthouse poll an Hitter ate suspected his ticket was wrongly marked, showed it to friends to decide and the fact was developed that Good wyn ticket had been marked for John- ston. The illiterate was arrested and jailed for showing his ticket and the marker, who was guilty of the crime, was not interrupted.
 ''In the blackbelt counties reports state that Dallas or some other blackbelt county, will send up the usual majority, which means whatever majority may be needed from these counties will be sent up next Saturday when the vote is canvassed. The Populists are very much exasperated on account of the wrongs practiced upon them, and will not support Bryan Democratic electors. They will put out an electoral ticket for Bryan and Watson Democrats can take down their tickets, and vote for that ticket or see 100000 votes practically lost. If this shall not be done, the Pop ulists will refuse to vote, and let the silver Democrats work out their destiny and repent their meanness. Selfrsspect. manhood and civil liberty. are dearer to some people than free silver or any other political issue.
 Hon X T. Goodwin made a bril- liant and effective campaign, visiting nearly every county and speaking to largest audiences ever accorded speaker in this state He has been elected by from lG,00O to 17,000 ma- jority i'll the white counties and received about 40, 900 votes in the blackbelt, but those 40, 900 votes are counted for Johns ton, giving him majority of about 25,- 900.
