Talk of nm Anarchist.

Chattanooga Times.
 The Hon. Patrick MeCarren is the boss politician of Brooklyn with Demo- cratic proclivities because that faith affords him at the present moment the fullest scope for his peculiar talents. In a speech the other night, MT. Mo Carren declared the, highly enlightened sentiment that if he "could' he would put a dynamite bomb under the city Of London and blow 1t to perdition." Of course MT. McCarren would do no such thing. but like most politicians of this kind he was talking for ef- feet. Mir. McCarren's authority as a boss, like that of most bosses, rests upon holding the class of people who are infiuenced by that kind of wild eyed talk. Its terrible to talk like that" said a distinguished leader once after he had made a particularly dem agogic address, but then the country has to be saved. and I am one of the important integers of the country"

The phrase fin darkest Russia" has long been used as descriptive of the mental and moral condition of those people, but the practically universal strike of telegraph operators and pos kaI clerks has literally closed the na- tion to the outside world as long as the strike lasts. The Ltws that has been coming thence of late is not of a character to give hope of anything like an early settlement of the troubles, but the absence of news will be even worse. It is intimated that the heavy snows that have set fin will have one good effect. and that will be to render it difficult for the populace to keep up their turbulent outrages. That, at least Is encouraging.

Ex.-Gov. Johnston and the Next Cam
 Dafgn.

Selma Journal.
 Just why the ex-governor should get into the fight or just where there is an opening for him does not clearly appear.
 His entrance into the race would no doubt stir things up. promote con fusion. befuddle the waters and give the professional politicians a chance to get in some work but this is just Hence it appears that Captain Johns ton would probably have some burnt fingers If he should make the race. and that about all he could expect in return therefor would be a few chest nuts pulled out of the. fire for some one else He has not been noted for nal cannot believe that he will begin such a course at this late day.

HEAVY FINES FOR TIGERS.
Judge Hughes Suspends Collection of Fines From J0nesboro Blind Tigers
 During Good Behavior.

Jonesboro, Sept. 28. Judge Allen Hughes assessed fines ag- gregating S65O against five pro- prietors of alleged blind tigers, in compromises of 45 cases, and suspended collection during good behavior. The cases were as follows:
 Bob Brady, nine cases, plea of guilty, fined $50 in each of three cases and pay costs in all cases.
 Newt Fisher, twelve cases, plea of guilty, fined $50 in three cases and pay costs in all cases.
 Tom Simms, twelve cases, plea of guilty, fined $50 in each of three cases, costs in all.
 Brack Bynum, three cases, plea of guilty, fined $50 in two cases, costs in all.
 Elmore Tidwell, six cases, plea of guilty, fined $50 each in two cases, pay costs in all.
 In assessing the fine in these Judge Hughes said: Gentle men-These cases are docketed against you; the fines are merely suspended and not remitted. If you are again convicted of sell ing liquor in Jonesboro it will be my duty to collect these fines, and I shall do so. Nor will l I collect the minimum. But if it is shown that any of you who now plead guilty to this charge sell any more whiskey here, either sell it yourself or through an agent, I will fine you the limit of $2O0 in every case to which you now plead guilty"

He is defended by emi- nent counsel, Jones & Jeffery of this city and Fulk & Fulk of Little Rock. The colored attor- ney from the capital city, a part ner of Scipio Jones, who put in an appearance here as a counsel or for the defense, it seems has been dismissed, as the effect upon the jury would probably rot have been in the interest of his client.
 A jury in the case was made up Thursday night about 10 o'clock, and the trial is in prog ress as we go to press.
 . In the case of the state against Robert Ritter for assaultlng a negro, the jury returned a ver- dict of acquittal.
 Judge Stuckey continues to preside, and has won an enviable reputation of being ever fair, yet firm, with opposing counsel, and dispatcher of business.

Little Rock, Sept. 28.-The prosecution of the railroads for giving passes to members of the last general assembly will not stop with the suit filed Tuesday by Prosecuting Attorney Rhoton against the Iron Mountain to col lect the penalty of $2,0OO for giving free transportation to a certain state senator, whose name was not disclosed in the complaint.
 MT. Rhoton yesterday main- tained his usual reticence in dis cussing the matter, but, he ad- mitted that other suits of the same nature will probably be filed within a short time.
 Mir. Rhoton stated yesterday that he would not disclose the name of the senator referred to in the complaint filed Tuesday until request is received from the railroad company.
 MT. Rhoten intimated that he has the names of a number of legislators who held railroad passes, which he can furnish to the railroads when the proper time comes.
 There was considerable specu- lation yesterday as to whether the officials who held these passes would be prosecuted, but Mir. Rhoton declined to make any statement in regard to that matter.
