He says: ““There exists absolute seif-government of the citi- zens in all private and public affaivs, and on the other hand thorough observanco of the Sabbath. There is absolute separation of state from church, yet the influenco of the church on the inaividual cizizen is intense. There is absolute disregard of religious scruples 1n estimating the moral, intellectual and social status of any izdividual; never theless almost fanatical upholding and pro moting of sccts, proselytes and temperance advocates. \What contrasts!” Must Have the Duel.

He is spending an amount of money on it very greatly in of its revenue, with the result not only of giving it literary lenco equal to that of any London puper, but of inaugurating admirable news features quite unknown in Lnglish journalism before. ‘Together with these improvements he has instituted from the very begiuning of the new rogime a series of attacks on public men whom the Gazette has charged with improper practices and on various commercial enterprises of alleged shady character.

He answered the first attack by quoting the opinions as to the practicability and probable success of the proposed road of George R Blanchard, the railroad pool commissioner, the governor and secrotary of state of Alabama, various mayors of Alabama cities and Harrison Hayter, president of the Insti- tution of Civil Engineers over here.
