Tin? in ws papers of last Sunday
published the intelligence that
Wm. J. iSrynn will e.-duhiish a
weekly newspaper i:i Lincoln,
Nebr., to lie called The ('oininoner,
and that the paper will defend the
principles set forth in the Kansas
City platform. The tirst issue will
appear in Janunry.
Air. Hrynn says the idea of running
such a newspaper first occurred
to hiin while in Congress
and he would have heroine an ?(liter
at the conclusion of his public
service had not the place of editorin-chief
of the Omaha \\ orldHerald
been tendered to him. He
occupied that place for two years,
shaping its editorial policy and
writing its leadeis. lie regards a
weekly paper as much the belter
for the discussion of public <ju<stions.
IIo thinks that the editor
of a daily ) aper, who has to write

liy liis follows, can not give to
his editorial writings his ripest
thoughts and tliut the opinions of
tho editor of n weekly would lnv
the more influential because better 1
considered. Ho says lie intends
to ilo the bulk of the editorial
writing himself, for the presi nt at 1
least, and that his stall' will he 1
limited in number until lie lias
built up a circulation, lie anticipates
no trouble in getting a sulliciently
huge number of subseriheis
to make the investment a paying '
one, an I says that he intends to
take only a few advertisements.
He will have the paper printed at
a Lincoln publishing house, but
experts to become liis own printer 1
soon. When asked why lie picked
the name The. Commoner, he said (
it had always appeared to him as :

disscussious of economic questions,
and that ho picked tho name 1
out while in Congress.

It mil t often that n man is sentenced
to be hunted and then
becomes a (.'ongrossinnn, but Rep- 1
rosent'itive Richardson, ?>f Ala- i
biuna, who succeeds (len. Wheeler, *
has had that experience, says the I
Washington I'ost.
Judge Richardson was a Confederate
sohlier. lie was captured
and taken prisoner, but escaped
and made his way to Nashville, I
where ho had relatives. While in
Nashville lie met another soldier,
who proved to be, although Richardson
did in t know it at the time, i
a famous Confederate spy. Judge <
Richardson and the spy started
out together to make tlier way
further South and had the misfortune
to fall into the hands of (Jen. i
Crittenden. Tho identity of the
spy was quickly established and ]
he was sentence 1 to be hanged at <
dawn on the following morning, i
Richardson, being in his company,
was naturally regarded as another (
spy and was doomed to share the
same fate at the same time. It 1
ho happened, however. that (ten. I
Thomas Ij. K< sser, the dashing :
Confederate general, heard of tho <
cnpture and descended upon Crit- I
tendon, arriving just in time, as I
the morniui; was about to dawn, <
to rescue the condemned men.
It was a narrow escape for Uieh- I
urdson ? probably the narrowest in <
tho experience of any number of t
Congress.

Monroe and Columbia Ry.
Work has heunn on the new
railroad between Monroe. N. C.,
ind Mellee, S. (\, which will j^ive
I'harlotte and western North Carolina
a short connection with Colum
bin. Savannah and other p >inls
in South Carolina, (ieorgiu and
Florida.
The railroad is to ho known as
the Charlotte, Monroe and Columbia
Railway. The company which
is building it owns -10,000 acres of
valuable timber land at the S mill
Carolina terminus. A standard
ipuige road will b > constructed,
which will he up to date in every
respect and permit of the operation
of the heaviest trains. The
contract for the construction of
the first half of the road has been
let. and the work of grading has ;
commenced on the South Carolina
pud.
The new road is being constructed
by a company of gentlemen
who are identified with the Seab
aid. and it seems evident that
the Seaboard intends to erect this
short line in order to compete
with the Southern Railway for
trnflic between western and central
Carolina and points in South
I. a roll na, Ucor^iu and Florida.
File new road will give tin* Seaboard
a direct line from Charlotte,
where connection is made in western
Carolina, to Columbia, K. C.
Trains will be operated over the
Carolina Central from Kuthorfordton
and Charlotte to Monroe, and
ihcncc over the new line to MoBee,
where connection is made with the
Seaboard's main line to Columbia, I
Savannah and Florida. The construction
of the new link between
Monroe and Mo Bee has j?iven rise
o the story that the Seaboard will
vish the Carolina Central on to
" - )
Seaboard's hpw line will bo equally
as short, if not shorter, thnn the
Charlotte. Columbia ami Augusta,
the Southern Railway's coiineetion.?

Til. the meantime, while the world
is discussing his case, the lot of the
drunkard, the ull-the-time drunkard,
grows worse, says an exchange.
He is no greater nuisance than he
was a hundrod years aj^o, but lie is
not as tenderly and tolerantly regarded
as lie was then." Courts
and the general public do not care
as formerly for the plea that he is
ii good man whoa tabor. The unfeeling
answer is returned that his
spells of sobriety should come
nearer together and his intervals
i>f drunkenness further apart. His
alVense is condoned by society as
it was in the days when drunkenness,
once a religious, became a
social rite. Habitual drunkenness
is a bar to employment now. The
Irumkird is blacklisted and hoysotted
without any formalities.
The Penitentiary R< port.
The report of Superintendent
Crrilliih, of the penitentiary, will j
make a splendid financial showing
for the year, says the Columbia
lleoord. While 110 cash will be
turned into the treasury, owing to
various improvemonis made, yet
these are its equivalent, and will
result in better work in the future,
file penitentiary has made about
$25,000. About SI 1,000 of this
will be spent on the new prison
building. Besides this, a new sand
roof has been put on the hosiery
mill, new boilers and machinery
has been purchased, the reformatory
has been built, and new barns
iiid stables have b- en erected.
After paying for all of t hese t hings,
here will hi* about $5,(00 lott.
which will ho used for ordinary
'Xponsos. There lias als > been
raised enough wheat, corn, oats,
to., to last until the next crop is
inrvosted.

; Kersey and Melton,
the popular smooth-{need Over- V
' coating fabrics, have not been neg- ?
locted this season by the famous
( Rochester wholesale tailors, the
Stein-Bloch Company. While I
fashion decrees that the rough- J
faced garments shall rule this V
season, many men will be loth to 1
forsake the extreme servicablenoss '
of the Kersey or Melton Overcoat.
Thoso that bear this label are made
from the high-class standard fabrics,
but are tailored in the most
fashionable forms. One thing is
certain, that the man who buys a
Stein-Bloch Kersey or Melton
Overcoat this season, will not only
, be properly dressed, but he will
i have a garment that will practically
be just as well looking three
years hence as now.
