APPEAL, MEM TO) BUS ESTABLISHED 1840. Th Taxing District Council ought to pay its laboring force the $2 per day asked for in the petition present ed yesterday, for the reason that the men are not employed full time, be ing compelled to lose rainy and in winter very cold days. The Council ihould pay the people it employs the best wages possible for a fair day's work and thus set an example to em ployers in all branches of business. Tub Taxing-District Council passed timely act yesterday in ordering the opening of new streets and the exten sion of old, in order to facilitate city traffic. It is to be hoped THr. Meri wether will take advantage of this order, and leave nothing undone that can Ve done in that line. Now is the time to do such work, now that prop erty is comparatively cheap and it is Id be had at reasonable rates. f MEMPHIS, TEXN., FRIDAY, AV1UU -, VOL. XL VI XO. 79. It ia both disappointing and dis heartening to bo compelled to an nounce that the strike on the Gould Southwestern system has been re newed. Mr. Hoxie and his officers, the Kn'ghta of Labor assert and com plain, have acted in bad faith and re fused to do as they promised -they have declined to take back the strikers. Ro th strike is to be renewed and under more intensified feeling and bitterness. THE FLOODS I ALABAMA. LOSS OF LIFE AND DESTLUCTIOX OP PROPERTY. Sensational Reports From Coosa County-FrenluU in Virginia, Sain and Snow Storms. Tub issue on gas is fairly joined and thero is a chance that in the en1 the people may be the gainers in cheap gas for themselves as well as for public purposes. For tho present we invite the particular attention of our readers to the propositions of the old and'the now gas company, reminding them that competition is likely to lessen, if not utterly wipe out the probabi ity or possibility of either company being able to earn a nickel, for once initiated, the war would be one to the death, in which no gain could accrue but an im mediate supply of very cheap gas, with an ultimate of revenge for the Btockholders in high-priced gas when the exhausted companies made terms by division of.territory or the merging of one com pany in the other. This is ' to be kept steadily fn view and this also- that in competition the people have the surest guarantee of low raes lor gas. Memphis has a direct interest in the opening up of the Indian Territory to white Bottlers, m other words, to tne founding- of the State of Oklahoma. For this the Apf-bal has battled for years, tn the' hope that the govern ment would see the justice of a claim that had it been made by the people of the Northwest would have been ad mitted and acted upon long ago, as in the, ease of Dakota. But we have waited long and in vain. At last, however, the Northern press has taken the matter up and are contending that as men have rights that cows have not, the territory now usurpingly con trolled by the Indians shall be opened to bona fide settlers under the homestead act. As the new York Hrrald puts it: "With the rise of cattle syndicates the Indian Terri tory question has assumed a new phase, and one dangerous to the In dians of that region. That seventy nine thousand people should be lef in possession of forty-one million acres of the choicest land in the United States when this vast area Is wanted bv our own farmers and eagerly pressed upon is not it elf a reasonable propo sition. Vested interests must give way to tho requirements of public use and benefit But that as the Indians decrease cattle and not men should take their place, and that a few cattle kings should be allowed to subsidize and bribe the Indians to resist the march of civilization that is plainly unendurable." The Democratic party. as the Herald advises, should take up this matter and dispose of it in the only way that ii just and proper. Birmingham, Ala, April 1. A mixed train came in at noon to-day from Decatur,and another aboutdark. The first broiiaht a car-load of mail, the first that has been received since Monday. No other trains ran to or from this place to day. It is thought, however, all will be running regularly to-morrowon all roads. The Louisville and Nashville is all right now, except at Alabama river. The Queen and Crescent rod will be ready to-morrow to run trains Tegularly from near Chat tanooga to T. scaloosa. The Georgia Pacific track is nearly as good as ever.

Birmingham, Ala., April 1.- Spe cials to the Age from the river towns of North Alabama show that the effects of the freBhet are worse even than eleirraDhed yesterday. Gadsden reports tho Coosa river at its highest mark and still rising, with alarming reports from above. All the railroad bride-en on the branch road between Attalla and Gadsden are i wept away, and a number of washouts on the Al abama Great Southern are reported on both sides of Attalla. The mill and lum ber interests at Gadsden suffered im mensely. The Tennessee river is re ported out of it banks at several point. From Tuscaloosa and Warren advieett'are serious, though it is be lieved the worst has passed. Many houses on either side of the river have been abandoned, and tho water is running through the doors and windows. Some families occupy the upper storieB of the dwellings and sUffa and flatboats are used for trans portation.

No further disasters are reported ex cept heavy losses by stock being swept away In this city the flood reached the highest point ever known. The water is over all the tracks at the I'nion depot. No trains have arrived from Atlanta or on the Louisville and Nashville road. The damage to vari ous interest here is slight compara tively, the business portion of the city being elevated. The principal loss is from suspension of work because of the location of factories in the lower part of the city. The ga works and electric light works are submerged and the city is in darkness, lead a a B.ehaa.ad. Richmond, Va., April 1. The James river at this point has been rising steadily all day, and at 8 o'clock in the evening nearly all that portion of the city known as Uockctta was submerged tn a rlenlii of from eiutht to ten feet.

Nashville, Tbnn., April 1. The rninharlnnd river is rising an inch an hour here. At noon it was four inches hov the dancer line. It will rise slowly until to-morrow. Report come from up river counties oi great damage to farms. Judge Douglass is too amiably lax, if not negligently indifferent, and takes, wa submit, too large a view of the right of the people to attend trials in the Criminal Court, and he seems to be too indulgent to attorneys and too lenient in dealing with their abuses of privilege. The court-room ought not to be crowded beyond its capacity. No one should be permitted to rema n after seating and standing room in the part railed off for the people is filled, and an order should be issued against the filthy habit of covering the floor with tobacco-stained expectorations. The man who desires to sit out a trial should, for the sake of others, impose upon himnelf so much of restraint as will tend to purify an atmosphere that even without that is described as foul beyond expression. There is not one of our court where dignity and decorum are more essential than in that in which the life and liberty of the citizen are put in jeopardy. Property is sacred with too many it usurps the place of God but life and liberty are more sacred, and where they are put in jeopardy should be treated of and with a spirit becoming their value to the individual .u n-,,11 aa to the community. The Criminal Court-room should be some thing moro than a cesspool for idle men. It should be clean and sweet smelling, and the conduct of every body about it, from the judge to the humblest officer, should comport with the most serious business that can come to a court involving the lom of life and liberty. the Tuscaloosa Cotton factory and work had to be abandoned. Just De- fore darn the wreck of a small house passed down the river and several persons were observed clinging to the timbers.
