Tlic city itself has received some damage, and the inhabitants ate restless with fear. The most fortunate class of poison in this country are the women who married Federal generals, piov ibed the husband died first. 0»lr a little over sixty-three thousand has been raised for Mis. Logan. The officials ot the East Tennessee and Richmond and Danville roads were in Chattanooga a few days ago, and located the site for the bridge' across Tennessee river just aboye the eity, near the city furnace. Nothing seems to be more vexatious to the average country editor than road laws and dog laws. Fortunately for the city editor he knows nothing of had public roads and his own ami neighbors’ sheep being killed by dogs. The land reforms just inaugurated by President Cleveland and the ad ministration should certainly not only commend him to his party but the whole nation. Mr. Cleveland has shown himself squarely against let ting railroad companies steal the flower and such a large amount of the pub lic domain. Nothing is more threatening to our institutions than the social dregs of Europe that are now immigrating into and flooding our country. They land on our shore poverty stricken and the apparent oppressed victims of tyrany; in a few months they are the worst types of anarchists. The colored race is demanding first class passenger accommodations un der the Jnter-Stat# Commerce law and from the way Commissioner Bragg talks, he will get it. Wm. 11. Comi eill, a leading colored Democrat, has filed a claim with the Commission against the Western & Atlantic Com pany, claiming s'if •,000 damage for being forcibly ejected from a first class ear after purchasing a first class ticket. It might be that the Abolitionists never abolished slavery, as some ow haa attempted to show, but it remains without question that had it not been for that party and their efforts in that direction, secession and a civil wai would have never been a reality, an ‘ slavery might have by this time been abolished without disunion and blood shed. An attempt no doubt will be made $o make the tariff question a party sss»e„ but the tone of the press of cketlb porties will have to assume a different sound horn its present one to ever be really so. The Democratic party wants a reform but to wliat ex tent has not nor cannot be clearly stated. It will have to be left to the national legislature without reference to party spirit. One of the most delusive fancies of many prohibition organs, is that old parties must and are breaking up to give room for that party. Prohibition lacks a great deal of being the pivotal point of the civil liberty of the people ©f this government. The most vital ele ments are in the Democratic party,and Prohibition must remain a sole issue depending solely upon its own merits Jfor success. The first railroad in China has just been opened up. It will be interesting to watch tne effect ot this modern civ ilizer upon the customs of that people The laws and customs of China date back oyer thousand years, and she 1 1 n always jealously opposed any innova tion npon them, ■ It is very evident that Chattanooga has a lot of the most corruptible and bigoted set of officials of any city in the South. Snakes, Prohibition and Sam Jones seem to he about three of the most interesting topics of the press at pres ent. Mr, and Mrs Cleveland have gone on a fishing and recreation tour and of course the presidential baby lias fallen out of line. — — »■■■ In the formation of her new and present ministry France has left Ccn. Boulanger out. \Y hether this is to the satisfaction of her soldiers and army is very questionable. In noting all that has been said about this Genera! it appears conclusively that France has no other that can near fill his place in any respect, and may soon piecipitate her affairs in a very un happy and unfortunate state. Did the South lose anything by the emancipation of the slaves? “Bill Arp” started it. and affirms that she did not. The Courier Journal (Louisville), which the Atlanta Con stitution endorses by re-publishing, says: “it was no loss to the South, though it was a loss to the former owner.” It is veiy difficult to com prehend the difference, without it would be that the loss would be less felt and hard in its nature to the general government than its citizens individually. The slaves in the South represented a real value as well as the manufacturing interest in She North. As a slave be commanded a price—commercial worth: as a freeman he commands nothing. It is just as reasonable to say that removing water horn a given quantity does not decrease the volume But it either actually or tacitly admited by all that the South is better off with the negro as a 'ice man than as a slave, yet had the peo ple of the South received the real commercial value represented by the Javes, there would not have been such a cry for northern capital to come and develop our general resources. Had the Southern people got wliat the slaves cost them, it»would not have taken a quarter ol a century for ours to have been one of the most prosper ous countries on the globe, varied in terests and enterprises, notwithstand ing wc have just emerged fioin all ravages of a horrible war. Now, at this dav and time, to try to make the impression upon the minus of our people that we were not injured by the manner in which the slaves were freed, has an undoubted coat and col or of todvisin. Senator Ingals, a leading republican, is put down for saying: “I have no hesitancy in saying that granting the fight of suffrage to the colored people has proven an absolute aud unquali fied failure.” Jim Blaine virtually said the same thing. It is clearly evident that the entire leadership of the Republican party would now most willingly and cheerfully deny the the negro the right to national suffrage were it m t heir power. Let the ne gro in the South vote as he pleases, in's vote only increases the electorial votes of the Democrats in national elections. While it appears that the Inter- State Commerce hill as a whole is very largely condemedryet it contains one or two clauses noth ing has ever been said. Discrimina tion in rates and the system ot pooling is seldom or never mentioned. It seem that the fairness of these two clauses has not been questioned. The prohi bition of discrimination m favor of rich shippers and corporations is too much the spirit of the people for any one to dare openly enter protest against it. Neither will the people ever will ingly submit to any system of pooling by which common carriers divide the spoil, To sum the whole matter’ up it is clear that about the only fault in the Commerce bill is that it is an at tempt to remedy every evil between the railroads and the people at one stroke. ■tfY 'J3** —• The United States Brewer ’ A'■■■■■: ia tion recently held >a Baltimore r«T. ed (“57.000 to be used againsts prohibi tion and high license. Texas got $5,000 and Tennessee $3,000 of it. Sonic of Chattanooga’s business men have made a move to “give their clerks a chance’ s by publicly agreeing to close their houses at 7p. m. It nat urally awakens one to thinking. NEARING THE NOCSE, A Fiendisli Negro on Trial in Chat tooga County, Charged With a Terrible Crime All North Georgia, and especially Chattoaga county, is in a great, state of exeitement over the trial ot Henry Pope, the negro who is charged with having bruts ily outraged a Miss Kendrick near Summerville, in Feb ruary. ’The crime was a hortibloone, the Kendrick family, one of the most aristocratic and respected in the conn tv, were plunged into the deepest grief. Hundreds of men scoured the county for the black brute, and fully a ball dozen were arrested and brought before Miss Kindiiok for identification, hut they were released when she saw them for none bore any resemblance to her assailant. Two weeks ago Henry Pope, a negro who once lived in Chat tooga who had left Summerville about the time of the outrage, was arrested in Gadsden and taken before Miss Kindrfek. A very sensational scene ensued when she faced the negro. She turned ghastly white and cried out, “that’s the man,” and then looking Pope •straight in the face cried, “oh why did you not have mercy on me and kill me,” at which the young girl fell reel ing to the floor in a dead faint. The negro was placed in jail and a mob of 500 men was organizd to hang him. There was a big reward for the capture and conviction of the rapist and when Pope’s captors learned of the proposed lynching they buged the people to desist, saying they had been to great expense to capture t lie negro, and if he was mobbed they would not recieve the reward. W.’titsng Too Long, A short time ago a well known cit izen of Atlanta was discovered on a lounge in the Comptroller general’s office, under the influence of morphine. When spoken to, he admitted that he had taken tho drug in order that it might do its deadly work. A hysi cian was hurriedly summoned, who, by strenuous efforts, succeed! i i: reliv ing the would-be suicide. This man was an ex-C on federate soldier, and had lost a leg in defense of the South. Tie had had, tor some time, a position in one of the United Staets government offices, hut had been turned out to make room for a successor. lie had aLfaruily depend ent on ble to support them, he rashly at tempted to do what many other men have been driven to by desperation. Fortunately he was saved from a st<- cede’s grave, and fortunatly too his unhappy condition at once awakened sympathy, and fiiends set find ing employment for him. g We are glad this crippled ConM erate found friends in his hour of need but they came very near waiting too long. And so it is with the world generally. A man may be in the greatest distress, suffering severest trials, which could bo easily relieved if some of bis more fortunate brethren wonld impart a little timely aid. But the more fuitunate ones are so taken up with their own affairs that they are blind to the condition of the sufferer until, in a moment .of despera tion, he kills himself. Then their eyes are open to the truth, and they ask themselves the unavailing ques tion: “Why did we not see his condi tion before it was too late?” Then, with many A-ain regrets, they bury him out of sight and go ou their way, treating with the same neglect other needy ones who daily cross their path. It is the way of the world—the same old story. Men will not see the needs of their brethren until it is too late for aid to be of any use. If you have sympathy or aid to give, give it now. Keep your eyes open to the condition of those around you, and do not wait to shed useless tears above the bier of some one whose life might have been saved by kindness from you manifested sooner—kindness too, which perhaps would have cost y u a mere trifle, ' Evil iw light by want of thought, As well u ' b y want of heart.” — •*>- * Tennessee has passed a law permit ting criminals to be sworn and testfy in all misdemeanor cases.
