The Chattanooga University, under the

Should they do so the college authorities
will find themselves in an unpleasant pre

make a colored school of it, while to dis

Looking Toward the Highest Court.
When the decision of the Illinois Supreme
Court in the case of the Chicago Anarchists
was made known to Capt. Black, their
leading lawyer, he said that an effort would
be mrnlo to got the cas 1 before the United
States Supreme Court. Not much atten
tion was paid to this remark, because it was
not believed that there were any grounds
upon w'hich the latter court could obtain
jurisdiction of the case. It seems that Gen.
Roger A. Pryor, of New York, whose ser
vices have been solicited in behalf of the
Anarchists, believes that there is a chance
for getting the case reversed by that court.
In an interview in the Herald he expresses
the opinion that the Supreme Court of the
United States has the right to review it,
and says that he will guarantee to get it
into that court. ,
The constitution of the United States says
that a man shall not be convicted without due
process of law, and Gen. Pryor’s plan,
doubtless, is to apply to the court for a writ
of error on tho ground that the Anarchists
were not convicted by due process of law.
But he will have to allege wherein they did
not have the benefit of duo process of law,
and it will be very difficult for him to find
anything upon which to base such an allega
tion. He cites a California case to show
that there is a precedent for the course it is
proposed to pursue. A man was convicted
of murder in that State on an information
filed by the prosecuting attorney. In an
application to the Supreme Court for a writ
of error it was allege 1 that ho had not hoeti
convicted by due process of law, because
he had not been indicted by a grand jury.
The writ was granted and the case reviewed,
but the verdict was not disturbed. It was
held that the man had been convicted by
due process of law. By due process of law
is meant, of course, in accordance with the
laws of the State in which a trial takes
place.
Thero does not seem to be any question
that the Anarchists were tried strictly in
accordance with the laws of Illinois. Of
course the Supreme Court would not under
take to inquire whether the jury was preju
diced, or whether evidence was admitted
that ought to have been ruled out, or
whether any one of the other minor matters
concerning which exceptions were taken
wore ruled upon correctly.
Naturally the question arises whether
Jacob Sharp can get his case before the
United States Supreme Court if that of the
Anarchists can be got there. There is a
suspicion that his lawyers intend to carry
it to all the courts they can. If the Su
preme Court of New York renders a decis
ion adverse to hitn he will then go to the
Court of Appeals of that State, and if he
meets with no success there, it may be that
he will try to get a writ of error from the
Supreme Court at Washington. During
Ills trial his lawyers took some exceptions
which they said involved constitutional
questions, and it may be that even then
they were preparing the way for going to
the highest court in the land. It begins
to look as if he would have plenty of time to
reach extreme old age and die, before it is
decided whether or not he is to go to the
penitentiary.
As gathered from the public prints, the
impression does not prevail very generally
among lawyers that a writ of error can be
obtained from the United States Supreme
Court in the case of tho Anarchists, and if
one should be obtained, the chances that the
judgment of the court which convicted
them will be interfered with, are so remote
as to be scarcely worth considering.
The Marietta and North Georgia Road.
The action of the legislature, in refusing
to grant the Marietta and North Georgia
railroad the right to extend its line from
Marietta to Atlanta, undoubtedly meets the
approval of the great majority of the people
of the State. The extension is not neces
sary to give the road a connection with At
lanta. It already has that by means of the
State road. It was alleged that tho exten
sion was demanded by the people of
North Georgia. From the expressions on
the floor of the House when the
bill providing for the extension
was under consideration it does not ap|>oar
that any considerable portion of the North
Georgia people wore anxious for the passage
of the bill. The facilities for reaching At
lanta from Marietta by rail are ample, and
it is probable that the North Georgia section
of the State is just about as well off, as far
as railroad facilities are concerned, as if the
bill hud become a law. The truth is probably
that North Georgia was not so anxious to
have the bill passed as were those who are
directly interested in the road.
Another road from Marietta to Atlanta
would inflict great damage upon the State
road, and there was no great reason why
the Legislature should have injured the
property of the State in order to promote
the interests of a corporation largely com
posed of capitalists.
There is no hostility to the Marietta and
North Georgia railroad in any part of the
State, and it cunnot be justly inferred from
the refusal to grant it a privilege, that would
greatly injure thp property of the State, that
there is. It is the duty of the Legislature
to protect the interests of the Stale before
granting favors to individuals or corpora
tions, even though some benefits to tho pub
lic might flow from such favors
The question of the extension of tho
Marietta and North Georgia to Atlanta
having been disposed of very careful atten
tion should be given to the investigation of
the circumstances attending tile passage
of tho resolution releasing that road from
the payment of SIOO,OOJ in bonds due the
State. If the State has any money to give
to railroads that it can give legally, let it
bo given in a way that will entitle it to
some credit, and not under the pretense of
giving up something for which it had been
making an unfounded claim. If the senti
ment of the majority of the people of the
State could be obtaiur 1, it would doubtless
lie found to he that the Legislature gave to
the rood SIOO,OOO in bonds without any rea
sonable excuse for doing so.
The “Iron Brigade" of Wisconsin, which
won its name and fume under the command

of the spirit which Hiiimates most of the
veterans of the Federal armies. They are
determined that their investim-nt of patriot
ism shall iwy big returns in money. This is
further shown by u canvass of the Grand

THE MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 1887.
Senator Colquitt on Prohibition.
The article by Senator Colquitt in the last
number of the New Princeton Review on
the prohibition question has attracted con
siderable attention. Tho Senator has long
been uu ojien advocate of prohibition, and
though in this State he has favored the policy
of local option, by which so much good has
been accomplished, he no doubt hopes that
eventually the issue will become a national
one.
In the beginning of his article he says
that, to the professing Christian, tho Bible
ought to end the question, hut if the teach
ings of Holy Writ were not clear, the
000,000 yearly wasted, the crime, destitu
tion anil wretchedness caused by indulgence
in drink should array against the legalizing
of the traffic the influence of all good men.
The argument that prohibitory legisla
tion Is sumptuary is next taken up, and an
attempt is made to show how fallacious is
the claim that such legislation touches
more on personal freedom than do laws al
ready in force regulating the sale of food,
medicines, etc. “If the greatest liberty to
the greatest number,” says the Senator, “is
the real essence of right government,” why
were laws enacted against faro and poker
playing and the social evil.
The economic arguments and those in be
half of domestic peace and happiness, man’s
dignity, intellectual and moral status, are
all on the side of prohibition. No State, no
municipality, no family, says the Senator,
hesitates to subsidize moral suasion by pain
and penalties where the conscience
or the instinct of self-preservation fails
to deter, and asks why the
crimes of arson, murder, theft and others of
like infamy, are not left to be dealt with by
moral suasion. The right of self-defense be
longs to the Si ate as well as 'to the indi
vidual. The great success of the prohibition
movemont, practically without organiza
tion, is proof that the heart and conscience
of the people are with it.
'I he most interesting part of the article is
that which deals with the Atlanta experi
ment, in which he shows that it has not en
tailed the loss of business predicted, but lias
led to an era of great prosperity, with a
large surplus in the city treasury.
The Senator does not, dispute tho claim
that in certain portions of the country
wlrere prohibitory laws are on on the stat
ute books they cannot be enforced, hut sees
in such failure serious cause for apprehen
sion as to the future well-being of the coun
try.
Tho article closes with a fervent ac
knowledgment of the all-important influence
of women, who everywhere are enlisted on
the side of prohibition.
No one not familiar with Senator Col
quitt’s history would suspect that he is a poli
tician and an officeholder, but he would re
gard him as a preacher. Most of the article
is an appeal to the moral and emotional
side of man's nature, rather than an argu
ment. It is a good example of its class of
temperance literature, and will bear careful
perusal
A Model Governor.
Dr. Luke Blackburn, who died the other
day at Frankfort, Ky., was Governor of
that State six or seven years ago, and made
himself quite notorious by opening the
doors of the penitentiary to about n tenth
of all the convicts confined there. He was
criticised and condemned, but he went right
ahead issuing pardons. He knew what he
was about. When he became Governor he
inspected the penitentiary, and found 1,600
prisioners. crowded into quarters for
pnly 400. He called the atteniion
of the Legislature to this condition
of affairs, and pointed out that additional
accommodations were needed and must be
provided. The Legislature, however, was
more intent on providing a low rate of tax
ation than caring for the convicts in ac
cordance with the dictates of humanity.
The Governor, therefore, decided upon his
course. He announced his purpose to par
don convicts until only enough remained to
comfortably occupy the quarters provided
by the State. When the Legislature saw
that he was in earnest it complied with his
request and built anew penitentiary.
It was said of Gov. Blackburn when his
term of office expired that he had been the
best Governor the State ever had, and that
besides revolutionizing the prison system ho
had inaugurated, and carried to success,
other reforms from which tho people re
ceived a great deal of benefit.
One strong, earnest, intelligent man is
often worth more than a whole Legislature
to a State. It is not often that a State has
a Governor like Dr. Blackburn was, hut
when it does he leaves marks which the
people refer to with pleasure long years
after his career on earth has been closed.
The Boodlers’ Retreat.
It is probable that the escape of McGari
gle, the Chicago boodler, will lead to an in
ti niutioual agreement under which crimi
nals of all kinds, not covered by existing
treaties, escaping into Canada from this
country will be returned, mid criminals
from Canada, escaping to this country, will
be turned over to the Canadian authorities.
The Canadians are more anxious for an
agreement of this sort tliun the jieople of
t his country are, for the reason that they
are about tired of having the Dominion used
as a refuge by all tho boodlers and hunk
thieves which are developed in the
United States. They didn't mind
sheltering from justice the fow who made
their way into their territory a quarter of
a century ago, hut. the number has lieeoine
so great that they are beginning to be afraid
that their own morals will lieeome con
taminated, and that their officials and busi
ness men will furnish a heavy percenters of
boodler* and thieves.
Secretary Bayard was naked if there wns
no ground upon which the extradition of
McGangle could bo demanded, mid ho re
plied that there was none. He declined to
ask for his surrender on tho ground of
comity because it is not customary for this
government to make n request of that, sort,
and because it could not very well comply
with a reciprocal request.
An international agreement is the only
thing that will keep our boodlers ami dis
honest business men from seeking safety in
Canada. Tha agreement should be nego
tiated and ratified at us early a day as |im
sibie. The closing of the Canadian retreat
may prevent mauy men from committing
criminal act*.

turns in the small hours from a ball. Maid No.

“You're so slow, I can't keepyouany longer.’’
“But, madam," pleaded the girl—French, of
course—“figure to yourself that 1 am always
tninking of your beauty and your accomplish
ments. Therefore my work is retarded.”
Maid No. 5 got an old tailor-made dress, an
ivory brooch and a pair of boots that very night.

From the Brooklyn Eagle.

of every social event he attended. He was a
member of the Andrew S. Glynn Association,
and on the occasion of its recent excursion to
College Point he entered heartily into all the
sports and afterward sang in the parlors before
a party of ladies. He had a large report®ire and
could adapt himself to almost any audience
At public entertain merits he always won great
applause, but he felt more at home at the social
board surrounded by his friends When
he was stricken down with pneumonia about
two weeks ago, at the house of his parents, Mr.
and Mrs. Sylvester Sullivan. 207 Broadway, his
mother became alarmed and betrayed in his
presence hey concern about his condition He
tried to assure her that her fears were ground
less, and that he would conquer grim death. As
the days passed by Mrs. Sullivan could not con
ceal her solicitude and her tears from her son:
so, in order to quiet her. be would sing to her,
as an evidence of the fact that he was not so
bad as she thought, Friday there was no doubt
that the end was approaching. When the
tender hearted son heard his mother crying,
dying as he was. he sang “A letter that Never
Came." Within ten minutes he passed peace
fully into eternity.
A Man who Saw Monkeys in the
Streets of San Francisco.
From the San Francisco Alta.
“Can you get a hack and take me to the Re
ceiving Hospital, or somewhere, in about five
minutes, Mr. Officer!'” cried a man who was
evidently laboring under Rome powerful excite
ment, as he rushed up to a policeman on Mar
ket street at a late hour Friday night.
“What for?" asked the officer
“I’ve got 'em, sure,” went on th . man, “and
if you don't get me somewhere I’ll do someone
an injury, maybe."
"What have you got? I believe you're
drunk."
“Ob, I must have been. That last glass of
beer was the turning point, or I'd never seen
what 1 have"
"Look here," said the officer, grasping the
man, "if you don't tell me what's up with you
I'll take you in."
"Do. please; that's just what I want. I've
got the jim-jams uud want to go to the hos
pital."
"How do you know you've got the jim
jams?"
"Cause I've just seen monkeys."
“Monkeys?”
“Yea, monkeys; dozen*of ’em. They hit me
in the nose, on the head, climbed all over me and
chased me two blocks," eontmude lue man ear
nestly as he took off his lint and showed a dent
in it.
“Where did all this occur?”
"Right up the street. Cghl I >e ’em now.
Whoa! go away, ye devils:" and the haunted one
mude u dash at tlie air and would huve run away
again if the < nicer hat! not detuiued him.
The officer was somewhat mystified. The man
did not appear to be strongly under the influence
of liquor, and yet there was in < doubt he was
frightened at something.
“Come with me." said the officer.
“Not for worlds," replied the man firmly.
“Oh, take me somewhere. I begin to see ’em
again. Wboo, whoo. git out!"
Despite his protests t.ie man was dragged by
the or,leer up the street. About a block away
the policeman discerned a black object lying
upon the sidewalk, it was a stuffed black mon
key. A glanee at once gave a clue to its being
there It was lying la front of a taxidermist's
establishment, anil I rom the second story win
dow projected the iron rod from which the
stuffed monkey skin had swung as an advertise
ment of tin? business of the 00.-upani of the
place. The officer explained things.
"Jumping June bugs'" cried the man, slap
ping lbs brad "is that all that lilt me? Well.
I could liave sworn that tlwre was nigh a bun
dr<*d of 'em. Anyhow. It was a monkey. I'm
glad 1 glu t got the jams Guess I can stand
another beer Have one with me? No? Good
night." ’
