STILL AFTER THE TIGERS
leamsters Asked to Tell Where
They Have Hauled Boxes and
Barrels Containing Liquor.

jackson, July 9.-The crusade
against the blind tigers goes on, and
vigilant eye is being kept as illicit
resorts and gambling dens.
Daily visits are made with the
search warrants, but the officers rarely
lind anything new to reprot, as the
places are found closely and tightly
barred. with no signs of life visible.
Mayor Hemingway and City Prose.
cutor Stricken developed a new phase
of their inquisition this morning when
all the teamsters of the city, white
and colored, were summoned TO appear
and testify concerning the places to
which they have haule1 boxes and
barrels suspected of containing liquor
Considerable valuable evidence of
an indirect nature was secured
throught his source. Over twenty
teamsters were present in the police
court this morning.
A day rarely passes without some
person being questioned concerning
their source of liquor supply. The
person put through the sweating"
process is generally an individual ar
rested the nigth previous on the
charge of being drunk and disorderly.

THE RIGHT TO WORK.

In New York few days ago Will
liam J. Sweeney, striker who
recently assaulted a non-union work
man in the Hudson river tunnel, was
sentenced to term of six months in
the penitentiary. In passing sentence
Judge Blair, be. re whom the case
was tried, said to Sweeney when he
sentenced him:
"If you stood alone in this matter
the court might be inclined to len
iency, but you represent bndy Of
men who consider themselves above
the law. Every man has right TO
sell his labor for what he pleases,
and should not be interferred with in
so doing. The question of wages
is one between the employer and the
employed, and cannot be dictated by
anybody or any set of men. The right
to labor must be secured, as guaran-
teed by the law. -

THE NEGRO SCHOOL PROBLEM.
The Proposition to Divide the
School Fund Will Not Come Up
Before Legislature.
Special to the Daily Progress.

Special to the Daily Progress.
Jackson, July ct he press dis
patches from Atlanta stating that the
proposition to divide the school fund
between the races has been defeated
in the legislature Of that state is re-
ceived with more than usual inter-
est in Mississippi because of the fact
that the same question has been the
overshadowing issue in the Mississippi
gubernatorial campaign this year
The proposition at first was received
with much favor, but since it has
been given careful study and unques-
tionably shown to be unconstitutional
the issue is steadily losing favor, and
it is extremely improbable that such a
measure will be offered when the legis-
lature meess in January, for it would
be doomed to defeat even before intro
duciton. Thus far only two or three
legislative candidates, out OF total
of over four hundred, have declared
themselves in favor of dividing the
school fund

MORE BUSINESS
At the City Hall Last Night-City
Council Holds Adjourned Meet
ing.


At the previous meeting or the
mayor and board Of aldermen Tuesday
night so much business came up re-
quiring attention that it was impossi-
BILE to dispose of it, and so the coun
Gil took a recess, holding an adjourn
ed meeting last night Several
important matters came up, and
among other things done the follow
ing business was transacted.
The sum of 1894. 35 was ordered to
be borrowed for the school fund to
meet current expenses.
It was also ordered by the board
that 1891. 70 be borrowed on the gen.
eral fund.
G. W. Smith, the newly elected
alderman from ward four, was placed
on the street commission. The board
ordered that the mayor and clerk
make all necessary arrangements for
the negotiating of note for 81, ,815.95,
to pay policemen. All present voted
yea on this except Alderman Dunn
who refused to vote for the SUN of
$911 to be borrowed to pay those po-
licemen who have never done duty.
1t might be we'll to state for the in
formation of the public that this last
amount, $911, has been ordered to be
borrowed to pay policemen who
have never done an hours service.
This at is present the bone of conten-
| tion between the two disagreeing
faction who represent the city's in
tere It's in the capacity of aldermen
and mayor. 1t is none of the Prog
ress' fight nor funeral, but expression
from prominent citizens all over the
city are to the effect that they are
becoming exceedingly tired of the
city's treasury being depleted to
carry the points of those who can see
a subject in but one light, and it is
greatly to be hoped that it will soon
cease. 1t is stated that those oppos-
ing the payment of this money will
resort to legal measures to prevent 1T.

A BAD PRECEDENT.

If the Progress understands the
proposition the electric light people
want franchise from the city running
for twenty-five years, in consideration
of which they propose to do certain
things, among them to establish a
street railway system throughout the
city now or some time in the future
In consideration of the fact of this
street railway system these people, if
light to US, want a blanket franchise
-one that will cover the entire city,
every inch of it, and a part of the old
sedge field.
While it may be contended that the
city council has this power, though
we do not believe it has, as it would
be legislating into the hands of a
monopoly, it is by no means good busi-
ness sense 1t absolutely shuts out
all other street railway systems that
might desire to establish lines in the
city, at least for 25 years, by grant
ing to this company franchise that
would take in evrey street, avenue and
alley in the city.
The Progress desires it distinctly
} understood that it does not in the
least desire to antagonize the present
company or throw and obstacle in its
way, but looking at it from a busines.
point Of view we cannot see that i
would be doing Justice to others wht
might want TO establish lines here
and it would set precedent to b,
t followed by granting franchises il
the future.

When Wilson gets here, he may get to

gusted with his investment, and smell
a mouse and pull off. What | want to
do is to get at him the first thing after

him by n long jump. 1t all depends
on whether he will insist on going over
there or not. If he does, those moss
backs will bust the thing wide open.
If he comes straight TO my Office in
the morning, the deal may be closed
but if he lies around the hotel talking,
somebody will spoil our plans, and
Wilson will hang off to make his own
terms later-if he makes any at all.
It's ticklish, but we may Win"

mitted Alan, but even if we do get
