Injurious Outside Interference.

Charleston News and Courier.
 The Brooklyn Eagle doesn't like the re- cent message of Governor Jelks to the Alabama Legislature, in which he speaks with some impatience of the work of out side newspapers in connection with the peonage cases in that State. The Eagle holds that publicity is necessary to arouse public opinion" and that without knowledge ther can be no genral moral arousing on any public abuse" That is all true. but we wish Tn eEagle would tell us in what way a general public arous- ing'' was necessary to the correction of the peonage abuses in Alabama. We have been told that in at least one of the worst cases in Alabama the punishment odf the guilty party was delayed, if not entirely defeated, by the interference of
 outside advisers or meddlers or sneaks or whatever other term The Eagle might think best to describe the class of news- papers with which, because of its near neighborhood. it must b ewell acquainted. The peonage abuses in Alabama would have been cured and the persons guilty of these abuses punished. if not a single special correspondent had been sent to
 Montgomery. and If every newspaper in the South-hating, negro-lovlng section Of
 our common country had kept as quiet about peonage in Alabama as they keep about the moral and social and political incontinence of their own particular com munities. We venture to say that what The Montgomery Advertiser said in con demnation of the peonage abuses had
 more to do with the arrest and trial and conviction and punishment of the guilty than all that the Posts and Tribunes and Expresses printed from instructed corre- spondents or by vicious editorial writers
 The peonage abuses in South Carolina were put down with a strong hand with
 out one word of counsel or criticism from the outside. and so would the abuses ir Alabama have been put down without out.

SOLDIERS OF FORTUNE
HR EDEsoN AND COMPANY PLEASED LARGE AUDIENCE.
Dramatixation of Popular Story by Richard Harding Davis Pro- duee8 at Montgomery Theatre
 in Fine Style.

Robert Edeson and a strong supporting company last night made the Augustus Thomas stage creation of Richard Hard ing Davis's popular novel, 'Soldiers of Fortune" one of the theatriSal successes of this season in Montgomery.
 The ability of Robert Edeson to make love and stoot artistically reached here befs-e him and the Montgomery Theatre was crowded to its capacity as result. Montgomer'ans several years ago read the portrayal of the doings of Robert Clay, McWilliams, and the Langhams In tropical OlaEcho and despite the criti- cisms on Mir, Davis on account Of the bloodthirstiness and superfiuity of melo- drama in his work, they enjoyed "6ol- diers of Fortune" But when the an- nouncement was made last season that Augustus Thomas had arranged stage version of the novel, the admirers of MT. Davis were skeptical of the dra- matist's ability to produce in his work half the enjoyable action and constant shift of scene, so characteristic of the book.
 The produt ton of Augustus Thomas is, however, satisfactory. He uses all of Da' vis's best lines, and he leaves oct num- Der of Davio improbable situations. He also succeeded in getting in greater amount of the thrilling action of the book than seemed probable.
 But with all this. the play would have semed cheap. melodrama had it not beer for the artistic portrayal of the exager' ated characters of the author and the dramatist by MT. Edeson and his abit company.
 MT. Edeson, with handsome face anc a striking figure, a rich voice, and graceful pose, was the Robert Clay, thu audience expected to see. When the dra matist intended for him to utte' "w-r-r-retch." he passed the dramatic -Sylla safely and when he was called of to turn the tide of affairs with his single revolver, Charybids was avoided by hi' art.
 Miss Ellen Burg was delightful as Hop Langham. She was as natural as tn' part allowed and the charm of the wo man conquered where the work or m actress failed She. too. avoided the sen sational skillfully, and at all times pleas ed the audience.
 The only weak spot which may b. counted in the cast was the Captain Stu art of Macey Harlan. Unlike the othe actors, he could not avoid the blood ant thunder. when it came his way. His sta glness was noticeable.
 Peculiarly delightful were the small parts. These places in the cast were fiilet by capable actors. Deserving of especia mention wls the artistic work of Harr! Harwood as MacWilliams and Taylo Holmes as Burke, the f1libuster.
 The prod l,tlon was simptuously stage, and the costumes were new and in keep ing with the action. A large force O supernumcraries is carried by the man agement ana their training contributes no little to the realism of the production
 The play was witnessed by as fine al audience as one ever sees. It was rep resentative of Montgomery and 1t was ap preciative.

 Montgomery Licerses.
 Messrs. Maner and Goodwin made ar earnest but unsuccessful effort to get up the bill anne nding the revenue code so that Montgomery could enjoy the privi- Iege granted 1t by its charter in the mat ter of licenses. Under the charter of the city merchants within the city limits were not required to pay county licenses after they had paid licenses to the city. The city license was in lieu of city and county licenses. The general revenue code repealed this section of the city's charter.

THE IRON MARKET.
Favorable and Unfavorable Factors
 Have Appeared.

Cleveland. Sept. 24.-The Iron Trade Review this week says:
 Favorable and untavorable factors have ap- peared in the iron trade movements of the past year. Considering the amount of rumor and sentiment abroad tending to depress values. the fact that they have yielded so little in some cases and none at all in others. coupled with the steady booking of business both fin pig iron and finished material, gives good sup port to hopeful views.
 On the other hand. the closing down of cer- tain blast furnaces and steel works. with prom ise of further restriction in the near future. is unfaiing proof of production in excess of consumption. and indicates again market price that has reached the cost line for some producers of pig iron. new and unexpected complication in labor side is the issue raised by the Masters and Pilots Union on the

CASE OF JOE ROLLER
PROSECUTION BRINGS UP A NEW
 POINT.
Desires to Have the Mama of 3. L. Green, the Negro, Included in Afidavit Sworn ', by
 Hollier.

Birmingham. Sept. 24.-(special.) )-The
 second day of the trial of the six white
 men of Horse Creek, Walker County,
 Charles Moore ct al, charged with con-
 spiracy against Joe Hollier, the organizer
 of the United Mine Workers of America,
 who was assaulted and shot last month
 while in the above named county on of-
 6cial business connected with their
 labors. though it is denied that they in-
 tended organizing the men at the time at Horse Crtek, was taken up in argu-
 ment.
 The feature of the days proceedings was sprung early today when Assistant Attorney Standifer for the government made a motion to amend the original af' fidavit on which the six men were ar
 rested to include conspiracy against B. l.. Greer, colored, the vice-president oi the Alabama organization of the miners and who was Hollier's companion at the time of the assault.
 The motion was resisted by Attorney A. c. Smith for the defense on the ground of illegality. He contended the govern
 ment counsel was convinced Halier wa: not . citizen of the United States, and
 not entitled to protection under the con. spiracy statute, and that the object oi this motion was to insert a man whC probably was a citizen of the United States.
 MT. standifer opened for the govern | ment by reviewing the testimony in the case and contending that 1t showed all the ear marks of conspiracy. MT. Moore of the defense, followed with lengthy argument. asserting the government must prove three things-that Holler was citizen of the United States, that an or l fense had been committed, and that there had been a conspiracy. He claimed these | facts had not been proven.
 MT. Standifer spoke for the government
 while MT. Smith and MT. Moore address
 ed the court on behalf of the defendant Judge Rouhlae the other counsel for the government, delivered his argument this afternoon. Commissioner Wilson will render his decision later.
