In the petition praying for an in
junction filed by the old electric light
company two points are made. First,
it is ~contended that Council should
have awarded the contract to the lowest
bidder without regard to the duality
and sufficiency of the service, and sec
ond, that Council has no right to grant
a franchise to an electric light COM
pany when one plant is already in
operation, without first submitting the
question to a vote of the people. This
latter issue is based upon the statute,
which imposes such conditions upon
companies seeking to compete in pro-
viding cities and towns with water and
gas. This is legal opinion to the eff
feet that the statute pertaining to
water and gas cannot be so construed
as to include electric light companies,
and this will be one Of the questions
which the court will. be called upon to
decide.

The attendance at the meeting of the
Democratic Central Committee at the

the interest already being taken in the

The accident which befell Jos. Woods
at the mines of the Pittsburg Black
Coal Company, Thursday night, was
attended by peculiar circumstances.
Wood slipped, and in throwing out his
hand to catch himself, his fingers came
in contact with a live wire to which
his hand chung as though it had been
frozen. One of the workmen. seeing
Woods perilious position, started 10
run to the mouth of the mine to have
the power turned off, but sam May,
thinking this would take too long, with
rare presence of mind, grabbed WOOD
by the buttons of his pa~ntaloons and

Wood was unconscious for three hours,
but gradually recovered and yesterday

ond, in performing every act, and giving
every vote in all constitutional legislation,
under the sanction and approval OF an hon.
est conviction of right. Neither hattery
nor threats, nor censure must sway him
from the right. His party may condemn;

1.-THE curse of any free country is moral
eowardice in its representatives. A sign Of
evil portent on the part of constituencies,
ruled by machines and bosses, is DISPOSE
ton to make cheats and hypocrites of their
representatives. Instead of striking out
boldly for principle and right, many basely
pander to error and false doctrine for place
and self The power of machine is smoth-
ering the voice of the people and claiming
the representative to the chariot of the
boss as slave to do his bidding.
No Right to ooerce Conscience
mot long can a representative hold po-
sition against the public disapproval of his
views. The remedy is in the hands of the
constituency Parties have no more right
to coerce present conscience than a
hierarchy of bishops have to coerce the re-
ligious conscience. Luther did not become
an outcast when he defied Rome. Nor can
a democrat or a republican a populist
be read out of his political creed by the
anathema of political organ. Indepen-
dence of judgment and courage to follow
conscience are the shadow of a great rock

TRADE WITH FRANCE
Commerce Gould be Largely decreased
by Reciprocity.

New York, March 9.-Henry Peartee. pres
ident of the American Chamber of Com
merce in Paris, who arrived on Tuesday,
will go to Washington to have an interview
with John A. Kasson the reciprocity com
missioner. On this point Mr.. Peartee said:
1.-THE negotiations between Mr.. kasson
and the French government have been car
ried on for eighteen months, interrupted on
ly by the war. The plan which has been
discussed has been under section of the
Dingley law to arrange for the granting by
France of a minimum tariff on American
goods, and on the other hand by the United
States reduction of 20 per cent. on num-
Der of articles now imported from France.
"Heavy increase of exports to France can
be followed by a surprisingly large gain In
the same direction II the Americans will
consent to an arrangement which is al
ready in force between France and twenty
two other nations. In fact, the United
States is the only great country which does
not have the advantage of Frances mini
mum tariff gain to exporters of about 25 per
cent.

lands on payment of lease money to the
Indians, IL they can find any authority OF
law for so doing, they have not been able
to discover legal warrant for this so far.
The barrier is section 80 of the Curtis
act, which makes absolutely void any graz
ing lease made after January l, 1898, and
all made prior to that date terminate April
1st next. Carrying out this legislation, the
department regulations, which took effect
October 7, 1898, prohibit any member of the
five civilized tribes from leasing any land
to any one whomsoever, until after the
selection of his proportionate share as an
allottee.
II this can be construed so as to permit
any cattle grazing, both conforming to the
law and to the interests of the Indians,
the department officials would modify the
restrictions. but no such construction seems
open in the case.

Now Recognized as Cause of Serious
Disease.
Acid dyspepsia, commonly called heart
burn or sour stomach, is form of indiges-
ton resulting from fermentation of the
food. The stomach being too weak to d.
gest 1t, the food remains until fermentation
begins, filling the stomach with gas and
q bitter, sour, burning taste in the mouth
is often present. This condition soon be-
comes chronic and being an every day oc-
curence is given but little attention. Be-
cause dyspepsia Is not Immediately fatal,
many people do nothing for the trouble.
Within a recent period a remedy has been
discovered prepared solely to cure dyspepsia
and stomach troubles. 1t is known as
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets and is becoming
rapidly used and prescribed as a radical
cure for every form of dyspepsia.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets have boen
placed before the public and are sold by
all druggists for so cents per package. 1t Is
prepared by the F. A. Stuart Co., Marshall,
Mich, and while 1t promptly and effectually
restores a vigorous digestion, at the same
tine is perfectly harmless and will not in
jure the most delicate stomach but on the
contrary by giving perfect digestion

16-year-old negress, the strange sights
around the big city of Birmingham. But a
few nights ago Mamie got tired of this
and thinking that she was now amply able

Miss Honor further. The latter then jerked
Mamie along on the sidewalk, pulling near

at which Mamie jerked out a small knife

General Household Row

A story of general household row was
brought out in court yesterday morning, in
which Mrs. Frank Romeo. freshly from
Rome or some other part of sunny Italy,
and two other women, Americans, played
the leading parts. Mrs. Romeo and her
spouse rent number of houses at Avenue
and Twenty fourth street, which they
sub-let to other tenants.
She went to one of them, Mrs. Carrie
Bennett, with whom she had trouble about
the rent, and in trying to eject her pulled
a rocker off chair, with which She
punched Mrs. Bennett in the stomach.
Mrs. Romeo continued on the warpath and
went to the rooms of another tenant,
Lucy Anne Gauze. Lucy did not receive
her landady so meekly, however, as Mrs.
Bennett had done, and proceeded to "cuss
out" the Dago lady. at the same time
making an affirmation that she didn't in
tend paying the money, as she owed none.
Mrs. Romeo having returned from a fruit
less trip, thought it advisable to have her
Objectionable tenants pulled" which she
did, preferring charges of disorderly con-
duet and vagrancy against them 1t is
supposed Mrs Romeo thought they had no
visible means of support since she had SO
much trouble in collecting her rent.
All of these charges against Mrs. Bennett
and Lucy Anne were dismissed, however.
except the one against the latter, for dis
orderly conduct: for this she was fined
three dollars.
In the meantime these two women began
to realize that Mrs. Romeo had been rails
ing little cain" herself; so they pre-
ferred charges against her for disorderly
conduct. She was released on techni-
cality, however, as the cases were made
out against Mrs. Frank Romeo, when they
should have been Mrs. Lizzie Romeo.

POLICE COURT


Primus Thurman, negro lad of sixteen
years, was tried in the police court yes
terday morning for assault with intent to
murder Frank Johnson, another negro boy
of the same age, and was bound over ON a
one hundred dollar bond. This difficulty
occurred at the Alice furnace one day last
week, and the novel part of it is that the
weapon Primus used In making the assault
was a large needle for sewing sacks. With
this weapon he punctured Frank depth
of several inches in the region of the heart
and at first the doctors thought that the
boy could not recover. But contrary to
expectations the wound healed rapidly and
Frank was able to appear in court yester-
day.
"Primus coined up on the battery where
I wus workin," testified Frank in thin
piping voice, IAN axed whut was dat big

Judge Feagin said that II was very
uncertain whether Thurman could be con-
victed of assault with intent to murder If

lied upon. but he thought 1t best that the
case should be investigated by jury. and
bound the defendant over in 500 bond.
