Congressman Sulzer of New York has, however, introduced a bill at last to provide bronze statue to his mem ory to be placed in the capitol itself.
 The preiudices and passions of 1876 have faded out, and there is no reason why justice should not be done even if it be tantamount to an indictment of the republican party of thirty years ago. History will beyond reasonable doubt say that Florida and Louisiana cast their electoral votes as legiti- mately in the contest of 1876 as they have since cast electoral votes, and yet the votes of the two states in 1876 were excluded, and Rutherford B. Hayes, by threat of arms, was in- stalled president. Samuel Tilden was elected president, and it is high time that the American people should do justice in his case. He died, full of years and honors, on August 4, 1886. and he lies buried on the banks of the Hudson in his native state He is be- yond the shafts or malice of men, but the cause of truth calls for the passage of the Sulzer bill.

CapitaIists in the District.

John w. Gates, who is here inspect ing the Tennessee-Republc proper ties controlled by him and his asso- ciates, is a national figure. for his goings and comings interest the gen eral public. They are chronicled as are the movements of J. Pierpont Morgan or John D. Rockefeller, or of any other man who lives in the public eye.
 MT. Gates is accompanied by other capitalists, directors in the Tennessee and the Republic, and at least seven of the directors must be here on Mon day in order to attend a meeting of the directors of the Tennessee Coal Iron and Railroad company called for that day.
 This community is not insensible to the presence here of the men who control two great companies. They are not merely directors, for they have shown their faith in the re- sources and possibilities of this dis trict by investing here in large sums their own money. Each and every one holds handsome blocks of stock fin both the Republic and the Tennes- see companies.
 When men who are investors come to this district to look it over and to study it's needs, we may feel sure that justice will be done it, for they will not look at it through Pittsburg eyes, They will see it as it is, and they will see where money will breed money in this district. The places are here, and the keensighted and far sighted members of the Gates party can be trusted to find them.
 And while they are finding them they will find warm welcome in every nook and corner of this district. Their names are household words. It is scarcely an exaggeration to say that MT Gates name is as frequently heard here as the name of the dis trict's favorite statesman, and much oftener than the name of its favorite poet

They Can't Resist 1t.

"One of the best evidences of Birmng- hams strength as an investment center that I know of," said well known Ala bamian at the Birmingham hotel last night, lis the amount of Atlanta capital that Is coming here.

 Right here on this register is the name of one of the wealthiest and most con- servative business men of the Gate City, and I am willing to wager that his visit here is not one of a social nature, either. The other day l met another Atlanta man who had been here three days, but did not want anyone to know of his visit. They have all got to come to Birmingham sooner or later to invest some of their spare cash

Railroad BulIdinu.

This is to be a railroad building year. The Railway Age says 13014 miles of new roads are now under way" and that additional projects of Tive" nature aggregate 8433 miles more. The chief railroad booms have been transferred from the southwest to the northwest, where many large Milwaukee and St. Paul company is building an extension of 1900 miles to the Pacific coast, and the Gould lines are to be extended from Salt Lake to San Francisco Two-thirds of the new mileage in sight lies in the northwest. west.
 But the northwest does not wholly monopolize the railroad extension work. There is an "On-to-the-gulf" cry in the central west, and every line in that section is seeking a gulf coast outlet. All want one in anticipation of the construction of the Panama canal.
 Alabama lies directly in the track of the new gulf schemes, and this is why the north-andsouth projects in this state will all crystalize into fact. The project of a road from Mobile through the western counties of this state to Birmingham and Florence is one of them, and it will doubtless be built Another road is to be pushed from St Andrews Bay Florida, to Opelika and Birmingham. Another road is to be built from Nashville to Huntsville, Birmingham and then to some port on the gulf. All these pro- iects will be utilized simply because the central west will need three addf- tional line through state, and one system or, another will take hold of one of the three projects until all are constructed. The Panama canal and tue rich central west will stand be- hind the three projected roads, and they will be built in the next five years

Chattanooaa's Predicament.

Four detectives from the department of justice are said to be in Chatta- nooga, and the 100 men and boys" who summarily set aside decision of the United States supreme court may have to explain before federal courts their acts.
 Thus far it does not seem to be dc- termined how far or in what way the federal government is involved what it can do, or rather what it will try to do. The situation Is without prece- dent. On the very night of the day on which the United States supreme court had granted a stay and the right of appeal in the Ed Johnson case, Judge Lynch came in and at once re- versed the supreme court and proceed ed to carry out the original sentence at once in the most barbarous man ner. The highest court in the land was not only ignored but openly and in writing defied and insulted. What that court and the government will do remains to be disclosed. What they can do is not clear.
 Public sentiment in all parts of the country calls for strenuous action at Chattanooga The local authorities say that the leaders of the mob will be punished, and it might be best to give them an opportunity to act If they do not act, and that too, prompt ly and efficiently, it is plain that public sentiment throughout the country will not only sustain, but even demand, action in support of federal judicial decree. Some hold that the lynchers are subject to summary process for contempt of court, but it would be far better for Chattanooga if the state authorities would indict them for mur- der and bring the last one of them to trial

A Coins Strange Story.

Some strange things happen in this world,' said Richard Murphy yesterday as he leaned over Parker's cigar coun- ter.
 For instance twenty years or more ago when I was an apprentice boy in d machine shop in Augusta, Georgia, I cut my initials and the date on a nickle and not long ago that coin was showed across the counter to me in payment for a cigar. For twenty years that nickel travelled and perhaps paid a hundred thousand dollars of obligations-more or less-and then fell back into my hands But it has travelled for the last time, and in future will be kept and cherished for the good it has done'
 Another strange feature of the matter is that marked coins have been under the ban of the law for years and this nlckle would not have been accepted by a street car conductor or any one else in like service and would have been thrown out at the bank And yet 1t went it's way and did its work unmolested for twenty years"

AtIanta's Mosquito Ordinance.

Atlanta not only proposes to expend $4000 in a war against mosquitoes, but 1t also proposes to compel each and every citizen to do his full duty in that holy war All water tanks and cisterns are to be covered with good wire netting and all sanitary inspec- tors, police officers and other em- ployes of the city are ordered to see that that precaution is fully carried .int5 effect. Any person who negiects To screen cistern or tank is to be fined for each offense, or be com pelled to work upon the public works for thirty days, one or both, iii the discretion of the police judge Each day of neglect in the work of screen. ing constitutes a separate offense. Z Such an ordinance in this city would remarkably decrease the number of mosquitoes, and there is no reason in the world why it should not be adopted. It is known that Brming- ham, as well as Atlanta, harbors each summer plenty of stegomyias, and, worse still, it has multitude of an- opheles or malaria mosquitoes. The latter are the more hurtful of the two classes.
 } Atlanta is confident it can keep out all mosquitoes. A similar work could readily be accomplished in this city to the great benefit of the health of the people. but if this city is unwilling to keep step with the advanced cities of the country, it should at any rate compel the screening of all receptacles that would otherwise become the breeding place of millions of mosqui- toes, many of whom are capable of filling the persons they meet full of malaria.

EARLY LIFE OF ANTHONY WAYNE

Lynn Tew Sprague in The Outing Nigga
 zine for March
 Anthony Wayne was indeed what the historian Headley called him, "a born soldier" and his life before the outbreak of the revolution may be told in few words He was born at Chester, Pa, Jan uary l. 1745 to the position of gentle man. when that word had a real signi- ficance, and as has been remarked a distinguished New Years present to the colonies at the hands of destiny he proved himself to be. He came on his sire's side from English stock which had long been settled in Ireland. and from his mother he inherited the best of Irish traits As a boy he showed in his enthusiastic but well-balanced character the happy. blend of Saxon and Celt His early instruction was directed by a scholarly paternal uncle, and his education was finished at Philadelphia-a city in those days strange ly alive and cosmopolitan, noted on the one hand for the lavish extravaganza of its people Of fashion, and on the other for the quiet refinement and learned ac- eomplishments of a large wealthy and influential Quaker elegent Young Wayne thus grew into manhood under the in- fluence of the best and broadest facil- ities and environment which the colonies afforded Though his Irish dash led him into some mad pranks that nearly brought about his dismissal from school his Eng fish pluck and good sense made him ac- cept final reprimand with proper spirit, and he graduated with distinction. He be- came land surveyor at twenty. and showed such ability that he was sent by some gentlemen of substance, of whom Benjamin Franklin was one, to Nova Scotia to locate grant from the crown. He performed his mission so well that he was made. superintendent of settle ments and on his return after two years. married wealthy girl of Philadelphia and settled in his native county.

Fro mthe New York Sun.
 You may talk about poker now" said the planter, tinkling the ice in his .julep. "but the time when that playful sport ran blood red was during the old Mississippi river steamboat days. And l am here to state that though the gentlemen taking part in it were remarkably quick on the trigger there was a lot of crooked busi- ness that went on about the tables
 My father used to tell one yarn that l happen to know Is true. celebrated sharper-we will call him Jack Curtis who later had his lights put out. in a saloon in Natchez, was in cahootsi with another man named-well, Bill Bartlett will do They played from New Orleans to St. Louis, and they had the slickest combination schemes you ever say. In good cotton years their winnings ran way up into the big thousands.
 Jack was a free spender but Bill was close fisted He had some shreds of con- science, I reckon, and wanted to save money and settle down to decent life. So finally he and Jack split up but the break didn't happen in a good way
 
 fore and had won s4O0 before Bill came in. When they squared up Jack threw in the four hundred with the other win nings and divided the whole business.
 "The next day Jack went it alone again and dropped thousand. He wanted Bill to share the loss Bill wouldn't do 1t. They got hot, passed nasty words, and finally smashed partnership.
 They half way made up afterward, though Bill quit the game, got religion, and bought big plantation near Baton Rouge. and Jack swore by all that was holy that he'd get that five hundred some day-and more with it.
 "Well, two or three years rolled on, and Bill decided to sell out and move up to St. Louis. So he advertised his plantation for sale. He had a number of bids but the best was from an old gray whiskered geezer, as unworldly as lamb, who offered him 5000 more for 1t than anybody else did.
 Bill struck a bargain and turned over on a Monday. The old boy skinned off a roll of gold certificates for the whole amount and he and Bill fixed it to go up to St. Louis on the Tuesday boat. Bills eyes popped, I may remark here, when he saw the size of, the wad the old boy pushed back into his wallet with the deed of sale.
 "The first night on the boat Bill wan dered about like a lost soul. Everybody was busy at the tables except the geezer and himself He fought like a cornered cat against temptation, but every time he winked his eye he saw the old boys roll of yellow ones again and he thought what easy picking it would be if he could only get a partner.
 However, he stayed out that night; but the next day who should come on board but Jack Curtis. That was, too much. Bill put up a feeble struggle until dusk when the groups began to form in the saloon. Then he couldn't stand it any more.
 ''Ie took Jack aside and put him wise to the golden wad and the bunch of spinach protecting it. Jack was mighty distant at first. He said he had about quit the game himself. and had little plantation of his own in sight down the

 |" It's a go,' he said.
 tSo Bill introduced them and proposed a small session. The old man he didn't know much about cards, but it was so all fired dull he might as well do that as anything else, so Bill picked up two greenhorns from New Orleans to act as dummies. and they began rattliag the bones.
 'The play ran easily for while, the old boy winning That was always the policy Jack and Bill followed. Then after couple of hundred had changed hands, freshened up.
 Somehow, though, they didn't freshen the right way. The old fellow kept on winning, and by midnight he had Bill thousand in the hole and Jack rome where around eight hundred He didn't know beans about the game, but his luck was something stupendous
 "Bill and Jack started plunging They rolled out stacks of chips and threw on piles of bills until everybody around quit the other games and gathered around the table watching the play
 My father was one of the bystanders, and he says the crowd actually cheered when the geezer cackled joyously and raked in a pot. The, old boy couldn't help winning. The money and chips mounted up before him in heaps. :,
 When the sun poured through the windows and the party broke up Jack cashed in the last dollar in his clothes, and Bill staggered out of the saloon a ruined man, stripped of every cent he had in the world.
 'Everybody's sympathies though, were with the old man. and nobody spent a bit of pity on the ghastly looking losers who went ashore at St. Louis.
 That night when my father was going to bed in his hotel he passed a room where streak of light showed under the door, and within he heard a man say:
 " That makes your even forty thous- and

 My father tiptoed on. It was none of his business, but he swears the voices were Jacks and the old geezer's.''
