Freight Agent George q. West, of
the S. f. p. & P. reports that the
business of the road keeps right on
increasing and the receipt of goods
is so great that it is nearly impossible
to find a place to put them. The
sidings are all filed with CARS from
which merchandise, including mining
machinery, lumber, and in fact all
kinds of merchandise is being hauled
away by dozens of wagons. Even the
scale track and repair track have to
be pressed into service. One of the
largest items of freight that is being
received at this time is lumber, and a
good portion of that is lumber for
mines and mills. This is a very
healthy indication for the country as
it shows an increased activity in the
mining industry, on which the pros
perity of this section depends.

AN INFAMOUS CRIME.

In handing down a decision last
week the supreme court of Illinois
branded bribery as an infamous crime
in the following words:
'The offense of bribery in elect
ions involves moral turpitude, and
falls within the class. of crimes deemed
infamous. In the constitutions of
1s4S and 1870 bribery was so classed
by the people. In both instruments
bribery of all kinds, which included
bribery in elections, was classed
with perjury, as rendering the offense
infamous one showing him to be in
sensible to the obligations of an cath,
and the other alike insensible to the
obligations and duties of a citizen,
and unfit to exercise the elective
franchise. We do not see how it can
be said that the trainers of the consti-
tuition, or the people. did not intend
that bribery in elections should he in
cIuded as an infamous crime, within
the meaning of section Z.
This declaration was made by the
court in affirming the decree of the
lower court of Williamson county,
finding Jim Christie guilty of having
demanded $50 from II. S. Harris, can
didate for sheriff in that county. The
validity of chapter of the revised
statutes relating to elections was at
tackled by the attorneys for Christie.
He pleaded not guilty to the charge of
soliciting a bride, but was convicted
and sentenced to Acknowledgement for
term of five years and to serve three
months in the county Jail. Christie
contended that the statute under
which he was conEicted is in conflict
with that part of the constitution
which confers the right of the elective
franchise upon resident citizens hav-
ing the qualifications prescribed in
that section.
