SUING THE RAILROAD.

In running over the civil docket last
week we noticed Judge Powell called
out ever so many cases VS.. the Illinois
Central Railroad Company" We have
attended several circuit courts in coun.
ties and parishes in this State and
Louisiana, through which this Rail
road passes, and have wondered IL the
same conditions exist all the way from
Chicago to New Orleans, and IL so how
on earth does this company manage
to run their business? In thinking
the matter all over, we have decided
never more to grumble at any charges
the Illinois Central Railroad Company
may see fit to make for doing our lit
tie hauling. We had something near
thousand pounds of freight shipped to
us from Brookhaven recently and the
charges footed up to the exorbitant
sum of AZ cents, and we decided not to
sue the company; the contrary, not
withstanding.
All the railroad companies east of
the Mississippi river have decided that
they will haul people to the National
Reunion at Louisville, KY, at the ex-
orbitant rate of one cent per mile
each way. Now, if any man or set of
men can haul cheaper than this, with
forty 'leven dozen law suits pending
against him in the courts, together
| with the enormous expense of repair
ing the ever recurring washouts, wash
ups, break downs and tear-ups,- IF any
man can carry all this and do cheaper
hauling than the Railroad Companies
are doing, he will please stand up and
be counted. We think that railroad
corporations ought to behave like
other people, but we grow bit impa-
tient at times when we see the eager
ness of some people to "puli' the Rail
road Company or railroad man. We
have always thought that friendly
disposition should be cultivated be-
tween capital and labor. Capital
should not Cypress labor nor labor
capital. Neither can live without the
other. We are glad that some men
can make money. 1t is right for man
to make money if he Injuries not his
fellow-men by so doing. If no man
had made any more money in this
world than we have, many poor fell
low would wake up without a job to-
morrow morning Too many of ouI
people seem to have lost sight of sim
ply making an honest living and are
trying to make money; and, failing
in the attempt, they become angry
with President Mckinley and enter
suit against the Railroad Companies
By the way, poverty is good thing
provided there isn't too much Of it
All of our life time we have been strug
Cling against poverty together with al
of it's multiform inconvenience, but

Figures on FARMING.

IN. M. Johnson and M. s. Weave,
have figured out that in view of th,
present high price of Irvine it will b.
cheaper for our farmers to have theil
wheat bound by hand. 1t requires
they say, q to 8 pounds.of Irvine pei
acre for wheat averaging rs to 80 bush
els, and at IA to IS cents per pound, &C
cording to quality, the outlay fol-
Irvine will be from AZ to 81 cents pc,
acre. At that rate it will cost 81. 6s tc
81. 16 for binding with a machine
acres, which couldibe done by one good
hand for $1.00 per day and board.
Many farmers have help enough to
harvest their crop without spending
much for extra labor, but il they have
not it would be better for them to give
it to some worthy laborer rather than
continue feeding the Unsuitable
wine trust which is laying its hand SO
upon them."
The above we take from the Warren
sentinel, and we commend 1t to the
consideration of the farmers. We do
not know muck about the cost of bar
7esting, but if the above figures are
correct it would be well for the agri-
,ulturists to teach the trust a lesson
oy letting them keep their Irvine and
It the same time help many worthy
aboring men by giving them work.

ing.
1t is the custom among a certain re.
ligious sect in the mountains of south
west Virginia to make every prepara-
ton for death some little time before
their demise. They are usually fore
warned of TIE approaching solemn &C.
casion by a dream. or q presentation
which they believe to be of divine
source. The following story is told of
a certain farmer, who, though he lived
as blameless a life as most mortals do,
was not assured Of his souls salvation:
One night in a vivid dream he was
told that he would die on a certain day.
He Immediately began preparations
for leaving this world, made a will and
prepared to 60 to bis future home One
warm afternoon while strolling through
his fields he became fatigued and
threw himself on a comfortable hay
stack and was soon fast asleep. Some
small boys in the neighborhood, know
ing of his expected death, and finding
h m asleep in the field, in a spirit Of
mischief set fire to the hay.
Waking suddenly, the old man found
everything around him in a bright
blaze. Rubbing his eyes and staring
around him, he remarked: I'm hi at
last. Just as l expected"

An Explanation Wanted.

The Public calls attention to,the fact
that about five years ago, when Cleve-
land was running his endless chain for
the benefit of Wall street gamblers, he
notified Congress OF his intention to
sell $62, SOC, 900 Of unauthorized and
needless bonds, and stated that if
Congress would authorize the payment
of the bonds in gold instead of coin. he
could get S16, 600 900 more for them.
The request was very properly refused,
and among the Republicans who voted
against the gold clause were Hepburn,
Dolliver, GrOsvenor, and the present
Speaker of the House. Henderson.
Now these same Republicans vote to
pay these identical bonds in gold. The
whole transaction was a swind,e from
start to finish. The Democrats have
repudiated Cleveland for his part of
the scheme, while the Republicans
heap new honors on the members OF
their party who were concerned in it.
Why do Republicans keep their ras-
Gals in, while the Democrats turn
theirs out Will some good Republi
can explain?

Chamberlain, what does he care for
the death and misery he is causing.
Just sc in this country. The reward
OF all the death and blood and treas
ure, of wretched lives, and torn hearts
and devasted homes, will lie in rich
profits to the few government officials
