Order From Judge Jones

An order from Judge Thomas G. Jones was received in the United States Court here this morning in reference to the Southern Car and Foundry Company, in substance ordering the sherffs of Jeffer- son and Etowah counties to release all attachments in these counties. The or der placing the company in involuntary bankruptcy was issued from the United States District Court of New Jersey on July ? last. This decree. by adjudicat- ing it bankrupt. necessarily dissolved all attachments levied on its properties by the various creditors. However, on Au- gust 20 Judge Jones received a petition signed by T. G. Bush and T. A. Gillespie setting forth that the sheriffs of Jeffer- Son and Etowah counties practically re- fused to turn over the property of the bankrupt car and foundry company, on which attachments had been levied. The order was accordingly issued by Judge Jones and the sheriffs are ordered to re- | store and refrain from molesting all prop erty of the Southern Car and Foundry Company, bankrupt.

FROM TOP TO BOTTOM.

Discussing the frauds in Indian Ter ritory, The Kansas City Journal. an Gd- ministration paper, declares that dismiss al or resignation from office will not be sufficient punishment for the outrages perpetrated upon the ignorant and help less red men in Indian Territory. Ap- parently great wrongs have been com mitred scandal has arisen which, if reports be true. eclipses in its degrading example and influence the recently ,ex- posed rascalties in the postal deparment. Officials whose sworn duty was to pro- tect the rights and property of the coun- try's wards have robbed them under forms of law"
 The qualifying word apparently" used by The Journal, was not at all neces- sary. There is no apparently about the frauds, and no room for doubt as to the criminals. Members of the Dawes Commission are about as badly besmirch- ed as are the deputy marshals and other underlings, and the blackest feature of the whole business lies in the fact that this Commission was intended and ex' pected to see that justice was done the Indians and that they were not robbed or swindled by the white scoundrels who have focked into Indian Territory witt no object but to despoil the red men Instead of protecting the Indians. som' of the members of the, Dawes Commis sion have proven themselves the veries scoundrels of the lot. It is not the frs | -tt- -IA Ak1s, ,tnNs have proven the worst despoilers. II the terse language of Richard Brinsle9 Sheridan, these officials have given th' Indians such protection as vultures givt | the lambs"

Convention should adopt as one of the principal blanks in its platform section denouncing any attempt on the part of the general government to interfere with the question of suffrage in the South. Lacking some such expression as this the ticket will encounter some decidedly frigid weather in this section of the Union. even if 1t does not meet with de- termined opposition. Southern Demo- crats are united in the determination to settle the suffrage in our own way.

California has a constitutional clause which forbids the acceptance of a fres railroad pass by 'any person holding any office Of honor, trust or profit in this State" The penalty for accepting such pass is forfeiture of the office, and The Sacramento Bee declares that if that provision were enforced there would be so many vacancies in the Legislature that it might be difficult to secure 8 qourum." Some might take that as { reflection on the statesmen of California but it isn't ours. The Bee knows more about them than we do.

Nothing could please the Republicans better than the knowledge that Bryan is still an important factor in the Dem- ocratic Party. They know that Demo- cratic success is out of the question with Bryan dominating it. and they think that If he is ignored or repudiated al his influence will be exerted to prevent Democrats from winning. With ghoul ish glee they laugh and gibe at wha they consider the unpleasant predicamen of Democrats. and fiatter themselve: with the belief that they already see the winning post ahead with nothing tC bar their way to success. But the Re publicans should remember the old adagt to the effect that they laugh best wht laugh last, and it may yet turn out thai we will have the last snicker Bryar isn't running the Democratic Party.
