Louis have formally denounced Mr. Powderly. They are afraid his temperance views will hurt their business. Carl Schurz has bought a Pennsylvania railroad. Having graduated from a news paper office, like his countryman, Henry Villard, does he hope to rival the latter as a railroad speculator? The great Chinese development scheme seems to he as full of mystery and complica tions as the Baltimore and Ohio deal, and Mitkiewicz and Ives seem to be pretty much on a par in the matter of character. An instructive leason is taught by the story of John Mahon, who absconded from Lynn, Mass., to Canada, six years ago’ swindling his creditors out of $200,000. After wandering over a great part of the world, the man who was once a prosperous merchant canes back a common tramp, seeking the iv orts, to him, of a prison. The New York Common Council ap pointed a big committee to represent the city at the Philadelphia centennial, but afterward remembered that it had no in vitation to be present. The committee didn’t go. The Council now perhaps re members more vividly than ever that they recently made a mistake about another in vitation. Evidence which is now being brought out by the investigation of Cincinnati, Hamil ton and Dayton affairs is of sjuch a charac ter as to endanger the liberty of those emi nent financiers, Messrs. Ives and Staynor. Vice President Waite swears that they doc tored his reports by changing figures, so as to deceive the stockholders as to the true condition of the road. The old flagship of the North Atlantic squadron, the Tennessee, was sold the other day for $35,000. It cost $1,500,000 to build her twenty years ago, and she has probably cost the government as much more since. It will be seen that war ships, even when they are worthless for service, are quite ex pensive luxuries—in this instance costing about $150,000 a year. The Arkansas railroads have surprised Boston people by making at the American Pomologiual Society’s show in that city what the Boston Herald terms ‘-one of the finest displays of fruit ever seen in this sec tion of the country." Enterprises, such as this, which show in a way which cannot be disputed the capabilities of the South, are worth more than any amount of newspaper booming in securing the kind of immigrants the section needs. The Chattanooga University, under the control of the Northern Methodist Church, has opened its doors. It is intended for the education of whites, but there scents to be a disposition among some of the colored people to demand admission to it for colored pupils. Should they do so the college authorities will find themselves in an unpleasant pre dicament. To yield to the demand would make a colored school of it, while to dis criminate against the colored jteople w ould be inconsistent with the attitude of the church. The Rev. Hugh O. Pentecost is a disciple of Henry George almost in the sense that tin- twaive were disciples of Christ. In a recent nrtiele in the press, writing of “Progress and Poverty - ’ and Henry George’s paper, the Standard, he ex presses the belief that “the doctrine repre sented by that, book and this puper is the gcspel oi Christ for society to-duy.” The reverend gentleman will find the ptstple slow to exchange their faitii ill the Bible for faith in George’s book, or to tielieve that the doctrine of both is the same. Postmaster Corse, of IVotou, submitted to an Interview by a New York Herald re porter a few day* ago, and in the course of it made serious charge* against local Demo cratic politicians, charging thorn with buy ing and Helling offices lie has bean for< 1 to deny the accuracy of the interviewer’s re|<ort hy a demand from Mayor O'Brien for tha fort* on which lie Iwmed Ine statements, and the newspaiait' mao com** I jack at him in defense of lik report. Altogether Gen. Corse probably find* himself in a hot a pisce a* on the day w lieu, in North Georgia, he Woo hi* title of th, “Hero of Altoona.” Ua bad t*o doubt iUur tight. 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 Gen. E. H. llragg, has dropped his name from it* list of officers because he supjiorted the President’s veto of tile dependent |ten sion bill. No further proof should lie needed 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 Army pout* of Minnesota, the iiii-ihlht* of which voted in the proportion of M to 1 in favor of the dependent |k*ii*ioii bill. When that is secured, if it ever is. it will Is* fol iowed promptly by u demand for a service And a* long ms the Treasury jut* an enormous surplus it will le ddUruit to prevent Die adoption of Midi nuieurw, in oriir to get rid of it without reducing taxes. 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*.

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. And she stays on. Her Son’s Death Sons:. From the Brooklyn Eagle.

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."
