RAILROAD PASSES AND NEWS
 PAPERS.

Some days ago The Advertiser com mented adversely on an alleged agree ment of Pittsburg papers to make it warm for the railroads on account of withdrawal of pass privileges. We did not see how any reputable news paper could object to the railroads adopting their own rules about trans portation and expressed surprise at the reported low altitude of Pittsburg papers. A recent issua of The Pitts burg Post disposes of the silly story in these words:
 Variant comments have been noticed In certain Eastern newspapers upon an utterly false telegram from P1ttsDurg stating that the Publishers Associa- tion of this city had decided to retail qs frss Sn passes S by sivins to % ail wTeck res ports a sinister tone and with studied bias against the railroad.

 the proceedings of the Publishers As- eociation by the card. note came from the railroad managers asking the quotation of cash advertising rates. The response was authorized at once of the regular card rate That was the sum and substance of the item of business relating to railroads, passes and advertisements,

Verdict of a CourtmartiaI.

q am proud of the verdict rendered by the courtmartial in the case of the lieutenant of coast artillery who com to give up his seat in the New London, Conn, theatre in order that he might sit by a friends" said a military man yesterday.
 ''The courtmartial reduced this young man twelve points, and I think the example set will be of value in the fu- ture. I have had the opportunity of observing the conduct of the officers in our army toward the men, and If any thing grates on a person, who has we'll defined ideas of democracy. this con- duct does. Especially is thus true in reference to young men, just out of West Point with their exaggerated ideas of their importance. These young jackanapes treat grizzled Indian and lower order of being, and I believe such verdicts as that of the courtmar- tiaI in question will have good effect"

 Many years Captain o'Brien resided in Montgomery. and when he comes here on visit he passes through the streets with some difficulty as there are so many persons anxious to shake his hands and listen to his cheery words of greeting to his friends. He appears to be in excellent health.
 Right now Captain O'Brien is can didate for Sheriff of Jefferson County, and everywhere he went yesterday he had wishes expressed for his success in the race. There are some eight or nine candidates against him.

zen yesterday, ito see by The Adver- tiser Tuesday morning that the City Council has made provisions for the putting the dust-worn police patrol me that no time should now be wasted in getting the wagon on the. streets whenever 1t is necessary to haul pris- oner to the police station.
 The necessity of Black Marian is great, and saw no better iilustration than the instance mentioned several days ago in The Advertiser in which it Is said that horse of one of the mounted patrolmen was used one night in bringing a negress to the police station from Riverside Park. Such a thing should not happen again. It looks bad for a city, and the quicker we put the patrol wagon into. service the better 1t will be for everybody.
 Those who have charge of getting the wagon ready should hurry up"

Dogs Arouse a NeIghbor.

 whenever there Is. a dog chorus there is very apt to be an anvil chorus. I am not a natural knocker,' but don't mind yielding the hammer when the yelps of the canies come drifting through my windows at midnight and the early morning hours. This is the nuisance along about. Alabama Streets ment has but few let-ups, and I believe that if the people would not finally go to sleep in spite of 1t all the dog babel would keep on. But with all eyes closed in sleep, the ears are no good and the music-givers grow weary.
