In this county justice is driven from the courts, So the motor company declares on the oaths of its officers and partisans. And why! Press and people have decla that it committed fraud.

Unless that company did theso things, was it entitled to the money? Who dares claim it? “There wus but one way in which that tax could be seeured. It was tomake this people and the city council believe that the motor company had in truth built that bridge and the railway line. It hadnotdone so. It had done nothing. It never intended to do any- thing ex sideration. An honest man d he is not entitled to. The thief and the swindler do. The first appropriates by stealth ; the later by a trick.

There were also three cardinal promises in the fullest Ch , the remission of sins, the promise of the comforting of the Holy Ghost, and the hope of evi life. These form the sublime trinity of trin- ities upon which the Christian religion is based. The meetings will continue all this week with the exception of Saturday evening, and at the present rate the interest in them is increasing the big Masonic temple hall will scarcely be large enough to accommodate the crowds before the week ends.

A View of the Fortress From Sea « ed. The first thing that greeted our eyes when we went on d after breakfast about 8:30 January 12, was the Rock of Gibraltar, looming up in the misty dis- tan says _a correspondent of the Indianapolis News. A welcome sight it was after nine days of nothing but water, water, as far as the eye could reach. As we drew nearer it looked likea moun: tain surrounded by the sea, the narrow by ‘which it is connected with Spain being then invisible. On one side it rose almost perpendicular] out of the sea, and from another view it took the form of an immense lion in a lining position. Soon the town itself and the fortifications came in sight, the whole surrounded by a strong sea wall. Inmediately after anchoring, Spanish men and b came aboard with delicious fi and other fresh fruits for sale. Later a steam launch took us ashore, where we found plenty of wagons to carry us all around the place. These wagons were painted yellow (in fact yellow scems to be the favorite color), and were very easy to ride in, having two seats besides one for the driver. We drove through beauti- ful gardens, where, in the month of beds of geraniums s us lovely of helio- trope and calla lili There were also walks and stone walls banked with actus in full bloom, and at every turn vere little black-eyed Spanish® boys, with large bunches “of and the lovely English violets, begging us to buy the “only g =hilling a bunch.” We drove through the town where street after street is lined with stores of every description,” kept by English, Spaniards and Moors, all in their native costumes. The streets are very crooked, and so narrow that in some places two vehicles cannot pass: but they ave well How Itls roses 1 and he soon showed suc clean. There are 20,000 people, of al national- ities, in the town, besides the 5,000 Eng- s, and ‘the streets present a anie. The poor little patient donkey is the beast of burden. You see him with great loads of almost everything on his back, driven by both boys and women, some- times walking by his side and sometimes riding him. We saw a woman wearing a sunbonnet and a yellow shawl, sur- rounded by a great pile of coops filled with live chickens; and as the whole was moving we came to the conclusion there was & donkey somewhere nnderneath, although he ‘was ‘“out of sight,” as it were. One interesting feature of our was our git to the markets, of which there are several. The one where fruits, vegetables and meats are sold looked very much like our own home markets, and is called the Spanish Everything is fresh and looked tempting. t far_ from this was one kept by the Moors, great, fine looking men in their odd costumes. Here are live and dressed poultry, fish and game, and fresh eggs. *‘Three dozen for a shilling.” How is that for free trade? Last, but not least, we obtained per mission to go through the tunnels that have been made through the rock and, witha soldier for a guide, we started. The ock, outwardly so harmle pearance, has been tunneled with won- derful ingenuity and at an enormous expense. There are three tunnels, one above another, and all connected at in- tervals by heavy irou gates. They con- tain over 2,000 cannon, facing as many loopholes. The view from some of these loopholes is unvivaled. Here the ey tlantic and the beau- tiful blue Mediterranean at the same he highest point is 1,430 feet above the level of the sea, and is called the Signal El Hacko. The rock is three miles long and from one-half to thr quarters of a mile wide. It is six miles in circumference The extreme end of the rock facing the sea is “Europe Point.” [t is crowned by a highthouse and defended by strong bat- ies. In 1797 it was taken from Spain y the h. Since then an enormous amount of work has been done by the English government, $1,000,000 a year being spent theve on its fortifications. Just as the last ravs of the setting sun disappeared, our little s, At that hour a cannon fired from El Hacko, and at the same time the great wates are closed and no one can enter or leave the place umtil the next morning.

The late Louis J. Jennings, membe the British Parliament and paper correspondent, will he membered by Americans mainly his services in _breaking up 'weed ring in New York, glishmun, born bred to the law, but he e took to newspaper work, and first went correspondent of the London Times to India. Then he came to this country and served “The Thunds in the ‘same capacity. 1t was while he was doing this wor in 18 edito r of news- re- for the al writer on the New York Times, aptitude in th handling of imy matters that was made n It was while that he made his great hit. ness of the Tweed ring had been ous for some time. but so clever were the rogues who were plundering the big city of millions eve month that no positi proof could be Finally one of the men who had been cheated in a division of spoils prepared an elabc e statement of the method of the Tweed frauds and took it to se: 1 influential newspapers. The editors were all afraid to touch it because they knew that Tweed had the judiciary at his beck and call and controlled abso- lutely all the machinery of the city gov- | ernment. Finally the exposure was submitted to Jennings. He studied it cavefully, and made up his mind to begin the fight against this monstrous conspiracy which had swindled the city out of 000,000 and was stealing hundreds of thousands every month., He hud a serics of articles prepared exposing in detail every branch of the wide-reaching frauds. He gave names, dates and amounts, and in the face of the bitterest opposition and | threats of civil and criminal libel suits | he continued at the work until he had | aroused & public sentiment that proved | strong enough to sweep away the scoun- | drels who were so strongly entrenched. | Tweed was convicted and sentenced to prison, but afterwards escaped and died in his own house. Of his companions some were sent to prison and others sought safety in flight and exile. When Jennings finally prepared to leave New Y in 1876 to return to England he received a letter signed by representatives of the best classes in New York, including General afterwards president of the United the chief justice of the supreme the governor of the state and the 8 of the American bar, assuring him that | the citizens of New York would not for- get his valuable services to the commun- ity. After his return to lished (1877) a book de: try waulks in England, “Field, Paths and Green Lanes.” This w followed in 1880 by a similar work, which also at- tained = great popularity, *‘Rambles Among the Hills He was also the author of a work on *‘Republican Government in the United States” (1868), of “The Millionaire,” a novel, originally published (1863) in Blackwood's Maga. zine, and editor of the well known Croker Papers.
