Prisoner Tears his Clothes off.

W. c. Ryan, who says he is from
Richmond, got on a terrific drunk last
right, probably the most violent that
the police have had to deal with in
some time. He was arrested and lock-
ed in cell, and even there contin-
ued to yell and shout in maudlin
manner.
Pretty soon the yelling played out,
and when Ryan found that he was not
having half enough fun, he struck up
on new line of amusement for him
self and his fellow prisoners.
He took off his coat and piece by
piece he tore it to shreds, and soon
the garment became a pile of rags on
the cell floor, After that he took his
hat and amid the shouts of the pris-
oners soon reduced that to the same
state as the coat. His pants and vest
followed, and finally his underwear.
Not stitch did Ryan leave on his
person save pair Of blue socks.
This morning when Turnkey Steve
Terry went to send the prisoners up
stairs to the morning court, Ryan,
cold, shivering and stark naked, met
his gaze and horrifed him.
For heaven sake" said Ryan,
''get me something to put on. | am
nearly dead with cold y
My heavens!" said Terry, II have
not got stray suit of clothes to my
name, and there is not as much as an
extra blanket in the whole station
house.
"Well, what am l to do?" asked
Ryan.
"Givc it up" said the turnkey.
And indeed the situation was hard
nut to crack. The turnkey conferred
with the stationhousc-keeper and the
stationhouse- keeper conferred with the
call man and the call man with the
captain of police, but no way could be
found to get relief for Ryan. There
was not an extra suit of clothes in the
stationhouse and no way Of getting
one. for none of the officers felt rich
enough to buy one, and Ryan himself
had no moEey.
There was council of war and the
turnkey and the stationhouse keeper
and the call man and the captain of
police all went up and conferred with
Judge Calhoun. The man could not
be brought up for trial without any
clothes, and he could not be sent to
the stockade without trial. He could
not be kept in the stationhouse with
out cause, SO something had to be
DONE
Judge Calhoun pulled his nous
tache and thought little and finally
said: II will go down to his cell and
try him.
That settled it. And while court
was going ON upstairs, jeff, the jani-
tor, went and got an old striped shirt
and pink necktie and gave them to
Ryan so that he might at least have
something to wear at his trial.
When the judge came down he look
cd at the weird figure shivering behind
the bars with nothing on but his socks,
the black and white striped shirt and
the pink necktic, and he had hard
work to preserve his judicial dignity.
'What have you got to say about
being drunk. Mr.. Ryan,"
Judge" said Ryan, with a glance
at his comic opera costume, II was
paralyzed.
'"Threc and costs.
And the very unusual court was
over and Mr.. Ryan. of Richmond,
went to the stockade clad in black
and white shirt, pink necktie and a
pair of blue socks.-4flanto journal,

every incompetent and dishonest
man, no matter what claims he may
advance for recognition, no matter
what work he may have done in the
slums and purlieus to get votes or to
stop some one else from getting them.
Services of this kind should not be
paid for by the tender of public place.
Politicians who negotiate for such
services should pay for them them
selves, and thank their good fortune
that such operations do not land all
concerned in the prison or the Peni-
tentiary.

the appointment last Saturday of Gen.
Longstreet to the position Of Railroad
Commissioner, but confirmation was
not made without strong opposition
from Southern Senators. Senators
Vest, Daniel, Berry and Cafery made
vigorous speeches in opposition, hold
ing up the post-bellum record Of Gen.
Longstreet and his criticism of Gen.
Lee in his book on the war were not
overlooked. The vote stood 33 to 10
for confirmation.

Now that our farmers are for
mulating their plans for another
cotton crop it is highly important that
they should consider we'll the relation
acreage. bears to the price. The idea
prevails with very many of our farm
ers that supply and demand have lit
tie to do with the prices they are
forced to accept for their cotton, pre-
-fering to believe that spectators both
in America and England fix the low
prices irrespective of the number Of
bales raised. This idea is not correct.
While speculation certainly has its in
auence on prices, it would seem to be
plain that when the crop exceeds q
0OO,0 or S,OOO,OOO bales it is at the
expense Of the grower. In another
column we print letter from Messrs.
Latham, Alexander & Co. in which
the subject Of a large crop is exhaus-
lively discussed. In this letter it is
shown,that the world has about $500, :
100000 which it is willing to spend
for cotton, and if the crop is as low as
seven to eight million bales it draws
this $500, ,OOo,o 900 with about the same
regularity as crop manifestly larger.
The figures in this letter are very
plain and convincing, and we can add
nothing more forcible in urging the
planting of a smaller crop We invite
a careful perusa. of this letter.
