Anyone having an item of personal mention or news
happening, will confer a favor by handing it to one of
Thi Capitol staff, each of whom wears a silver sac
aimile of the above signet*
Second Edition.
The Capitol blushes to-day over the pro
fused praise of a correspondent, Scratch-E-
Terry, as he signs himself, and whom we know
to be one of the solid, level-headed business
men of the city.
The mob of loafers, who daily visit the police
court room to satiate a morbid appetite for the
“bad,” are allowed to crowd inside the railing,
and occupy every available seat. Policemen,
who have been on duty twelve hours, are forced
to stand up in a close and stifling atmosphere
for several hours. To persons who really have
business in the court no accommodations what
ever are given.
J. J. S., who from his sentiments expressed
shows that he is an anti, has a communication
in to-day. He took advantage of the offer of a
few days ago, of our columns to any and every
body to discuss the question of liquor'freely
and fully by calm communications. Make them
them as short as possible to convey your ideas
and let the subject be discussed with a view of
harmonizing all the interests of this great city.
Tlie Lecture To-night.
To-night will be given the last of the series of
lectures by the Armstrong Lecture Association.
It will be delivered by Rev. J. G. Armstrong,
D. D., and on the subject of “Julius Ciesar.”
It should be widely attended.
This lecture association has done a noble
thing.
It has formed the nucleus of an association
which will supply food in the future for intel
lectual feasts.
We learn with pleasure that it has been very
successful, and that this closing is but for the
summer months, and that in September the lec
tures will be resumed.
Let a large crowd turn out to-night.
Prohibition—Fairness—Justice.
A great many leading prohibitionists have
heartily commended the Capitol for its recent
stand and request for justice to those now hold
ing liquor licences.
We have beheld with sadness and regret, the
continued prosecution of these men.
They hold licenses issued in good faith by
proper authorities, the terms of which do not
expire for a few weeks hence.
Then why arrest the holders, fine them almost
without hearing, ruin and break them down, if
possible, just because there is a prevailing senti
ment in favor of prohibition.
These men have rights; some of the best of
legal talent agrees that they are acting legally.
Then why quibble over the points in the law;
but since they are law abiding citizens and keep
their places quiet and respectable, would it not
be better to waive all the possible chances and
let them proceed quietly until their licenses ex
expire. The present vigorous and perhaps un
called for prosecutions will, in our judgment,
widen the breach between the two factions and
consequently hurt the good cause of prohibition.
The Capitol insists on the citizens adopting
every measure looking to the harmony of our
people.
Let quart license contests alone, and turn our
attention to measures for the future prosperity
of our city. So say we.
That $1.50 Businesa.
The Capitol sometimes makes enemies by
its fearless exposition of the right and of justice.
It may have done it yesterday in its criticism
on this $1.50 license tax fi. fa. business of every
Quarter, but it believes that it has struck the
nail of a great and unnecessary oppression and
wrong on the head. If still further convinced
of it we shall keep on hammering.
If any one will show us wherein the justice
lies in not notifying licensed dealers by a postal
on the first of each quarter, and if desired,
charge the cost of these notifications to the
dealer, then we will resume other duties and let
the tax fi. fa. alone.
$1.50 for a tax fi. fa.!
$1.50! Do not the figures, even if just, sound
very large to the poor man, though the officials
write it down as calmly as an order for a choice
dinner in a restaurant?
The sum may seem small to the man who
rakes in several hundred of them a quarter, but
it seems large to everybody else.
Last month the Waterworks notified consum
ers that hereafter they would send out no more
monthly notices.
Would such things be tolerated by customers
of private firms? Why then should public men
and works oppress their customers and vaunt
themselves at the expense of the public just be
cause they have a few reins of power in their
bands?
This is no idle cry of The Capitol. It is the
outspeaking of a numerously afflicted people
through their medium, the people’s medium,
The Capitol.
Can the fault not be remedied? We believe
it can, easily.
Will it be remedied? We shall see.

Editor Cutting Mill in Jail*
Associated Press to Capitol.
Chicago, July 23.—A special from El Paso,
Texas, says : Editor Cutting, of El Paso, is
still in jail at Paso del Norte, Mexico, just across
the river. He was taken out of jail Wednesday
night and led before the judge, who stated that
order had been received from
the Supreme Court of Chihuahua
to admit Cutting to bail. Cutting sent
for Consul Brigham, and told the judge he was
in the hands of his government, which had de
manded his unconditional release and that he
would ignore the Bhihuahua Court. He was
then remanded to jail, but was again brought
yesterday and questioned. Consul Brigham
advised him not to answer. Considerable ex
citement exists m Paso del Norte. Quite a large
body of Mexican troops have been quartered
there within the last forty-eight hours, The ob
ject of this move is not known.

THE FINE IMPOSED ON CHARLES
C. THORN.
Another Leading Merchant Caught In the Pro-
8 blhition Whirlpool.
r
t
j Charks A. Thorn, grocer, was tried before
, the Recorder, this morning for violating the Pro
, hibition law.
3 The evdence for the city showed that Mr.
Thorn bad sold beer by the quart and alloued
* persons to drink it in bis store, and furnished
e glasses and a dipper for that purpose,
a . The evidence for the defense tended to show
. that Mr. Thorn had told all persons that they
would not be allowed to drink any liquors on
t his premises, and had put up a sign to tbit
- effect.
B In his statement Mr. Thorn said he had been
a leading prohibitionist in the recent campaign
1 and had since endeavored to abide by the law.
Mr. Pendleton represented the city, and R. J.
Jordan, Esq., the defense.
Judge Anderson held “ Mr. Thorne’s license
was invalid, and the County Commissioners
had no authority to issue it; so this did away
with any ‘ vested rights ’ the defendant might
9 claim.
He had clearlv violated the law in allowing
, beer drank on and about his premises, and be
. ing a prominent citizen he was not a subject for
' clemency.”
A fine of SSOO was imposed, from which an
- appeal will be taken.
Blue Ball.
The game played at Athletic park, yesterday,
between Atlanta and Memphis, was a post
-1 poned game of the last series, which was caused
r by rain.
t To-day begins the present series between the
. home club and the Memphis, which will be a
very interesting series of four games, then the
boys will go to Nashville.
The game was a fine and well fought game up
to the sixth inning when the Atlantas got onto
Knouf and won the game easily. The batting
of both clubs was about even; the home club
- only succeeded in bunching their hits which en
t abled them to win the game with ease.
The Memphis club hits were scattering, and
their eighth inning was a comedy of errors.
Their playing, with the exception of the eighth,
was good, makirg four of the six errors in that
inning, and the home club scored two run.. The
i secret of Atlanta’s was niagnificeut base run-
- ning, which not only won the game yesterday,
r but has brought her out of many a tight place.
The players, one after another, as they stepped
up to the bat, were applauded; the audience
3 showed their approval in a liberal manner for
r the good work the home team accomplished on
the late trip to Mocon.
SCORE BY INNINGS:
1 Atlantas 00000312 o—6
Memphis 00000000 I—l
Savannah will come up to Atlanta in a body
when her pets play here.
Nashville was defeated by Charleston yester-
■ day. Score 12 to 2. What a Waterloo for Ten
’ nessee pets.
Memphis has a better club than Nashville
and when the season is over we think she will
lead Nashville.
New York is coming to the front. She wants
t the league pennant.
