I ant n C auito I. vol. v. w? Actual Number Issued To-Day, - 5,800 Actual Number Issued to Subscribers, 5,328 Limited by Capacity of Press. 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. Bay buying your Groceries learn y\ the truth : Carlton A Son are “4" the Cheapest Cash Grocers in town. School of Phonography.

TELEGRAPHIC 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. London Races* Associated Press to Capitol.

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.
