Anti-saloon Ticket
Especial to News and observer.)


Durham, N c., May 1.-Two damage
suits were today started against the
Southern road Both were on account of
the accident a few days ago in which
the horse belonging to A. B. Matthews,
the druggist was fearfully hurt and the
negro driver injured. The driver was
crossing the Southern road at the depot
when the gate was lowered on the vehicle
The horse became frightened and while
rearing and plunging threw the driver to
the ground, broke the shaft and the bro
ken shaft was thrust through his should
er, running the animal.
Today Messrs. Guthrie and Guthrie, at
torneys, began the two suits against the
railroad. The suit of Mr.. Matthews is
for damages sustained by his horse. dam
ages to wagon and goods in the wagon.
The amount to be asked for is not known.
The suit of the negro driver whose name
is Augustus Smith is for $3.50 and is
brought by his mother, Fannie Smith.
The boy is not yet 81 years of age.
Both of these suits will be docketed at
the approaching term of court and will
probably be tried sometime this fall

At a meeting of the anti-saloon league
last night, which did not adjourn until
late in the night, a resolution was passed
taking C. NJ. Herndon from the Reform
ticket for alderman. Mr.. Herndon was
first nominated by the Reform move
ment and in the meantime he had signed
the call for the meeting Of the regulars.
When this convention was held the fol-
lowing night he was named for alder
man, this putting him on both tickets.
Yesterday Mr.. G. w Watts, chairman of
The anti-saloon league, addressed a let
ter to Mr. Herndon in which his atten-
ton was called to the facts as stated
and he was asked to withdraw from the
Reform ticket. Mr.. Herndon refused to
do as requested, saying that he was
placed on the ticket without his con-
sent and that he would remain there
unless his name was taken down by the
committee. Last night the committee was
in session and passed a resolution re-
moving his name from the ticket and

Morning papers, as q rule, sell only

as their evening competitors, and invari-
ably at twice the cost and deducting
possible one third OF this total that Is

cuts the possibilities Of returns from an
advertising standpoint down to a very
small percentage, when compared with
the fact that every single copy Of an even

I believe that the average American
family devotes more than twice as much
time to evening papers than they do to
morning issues. In the morning get to
the office by $50 at the latest; the cars
at that time are more crowded than at
any other time during the morning Prob

THE TIDE OF IMMIGRATION.

Nearly 100000 Immigrants came to
America last year. Almost without
exception they come from sections OF
Europe where ignorance and poverty
have been for centuries degrading
them. Not only do they come from the
least enlightened countries. but they
are from. the most degraded classes.
1t is our boast that we can assimilate
a mass Of raw humanity and by the
alchemy OF our institutions turn the
Ignorant and depraved into good
American citizens Perhaps we could,
If we had the chance. but that is not
given u.s.
These immigrants do not scatter over
our vast territory. but congregate in
the heart OF few leading cities We
have our little Italys, our little Russias,
our little Polands and our ghettos. In
these swarming settlements the lam
guages, the customs and traditions, OF
the old world communities are re-
tanned for generations. This condition
cannot continue for many years with
out serious results.

eAppERs AND MOTHERS.

A great deal has been said recently
about the dangers which attend our

Of gadding TO which attention has been

pretext Of a custom. bat II Is not a
custom sanctioned by the law. We
are firmly OF the opinion that all pris-
oners should be required TO work, but
the benefit of their labor should not
go into the private treasury of a sher-
in, and certainly prisoners who have
been sentenced to term OF years cam
not be given their liberty without vir-
tual contempt of court. Perhaps the
rigidlty Of prison discipline has been
relaxed little by little because the
Georgetown Jail is a mere barn that
is incapable of holding any prisoner
who wishes to escape. And, therefore
TO keep the prisoners II becomes neces-
sary to make life attractive for them.
They wander at will, returning to be
fed and sheltered.
And while so many prisoners are
kept in idleness and others are working

an arrest was made. 1t is said that
not single complaint came from any
citizen. When we consider that the
guard is composed almost exclusively
OF young men, and when so many
temptations to lave a good time were
offered that restraint was remarkable.
We are also informed by those fa-

Of millions are turned towards the

TO those who regarded him as the
divinely appointed successor Of Peter,

life is transient. and while even the
head OF the church must die as its
founder died, yet the institution lives

human beings who have need of It.
The Protestant world. too, is moved,
and profoundly interested. 1t has not
experienced any direct loss. In its

with no more rightful authority than
other great Christian teachers. Yet
II is pouring out it's sympathy and

nature Of the head Of the Roman
Church. II is remarkable that I'm the
past, religious sects and teachers

and, therefore. Il IS good TO know that
at this moment of mourning in the
Catholic Church. those who have re-

sympathy. which shows a larger un-
derstanding and truer Christian
spirit than has always been shown in
the past.
This event win not make a convert

that spirit Of liberation. that truly
Catholic brotherhood that comes when
men admit their differences and are
willing to regard their fellow men with
