A Journalistic Marvel.
London Journals express admiration at
the manner in which the American press
have been supplied from day TO day and
hour TO hour with news of the lines Of the
Prince of Wales. They notice that bhlle-
tins issued at Sandrigham at five and six
O'Clock in the morning are published in the
morning editions of American papers,
printed before day light, and that noon and
six O'Clock evening bulletins appear i'm early
editions of evening papers. All concur in
the opinion that the rapidity with which
these dispatches are forwarded, their gen
eral accuracy and complete history they give
Of the Princes illness make altogether one
of the maryelS of journalism.

sGONE UP."-THEPR

The Nashville dailies have gone up In
price, from IS to $40 per year. We have
long wondered how our city contemporaries
ceuld furnish their patrons With such large
and valuable newspapers at such low prices.
But few realize the great cost and trouble
In the publication of newspaper, especially
daily; ard when it is considered that the
expenses are ever on the increase, owing to
tie increasing demands of an appreciative
reading public, we are at a loss to perceive
that the successful Journal bears upon its
face the magic words which insure its pros
perity, while the fate Of the unsuccessful
one is mainly attributable to its cheapness,
the subscriptions being inadequate TO meet
the expenses. In purchasing most any ar
ticle, cur readers are aware that in
lime cases out If ten the cheapest is
not the best. To get a good article a
round price must be paid. The
Nashville dailies are no exception to the
rule. The publishers place before their
readers journals which compare favorably
with any published in the Union, for which
they should be amply remuerated. But, If
they even get enough from their patrons TO
sustain their business and have a moderate
competenee, it is all they ask; and, as the
press is the index to the intelligence and
thrift of the people Of a State, who can be
so marrow minded as TO desire to limit the
sphere Gf the usefulness and influence of
our State press? Letthese sentinels on the
outer walls of freedom and prosperity; these
guardians of the public veal, on whose
shoulders fall the burdens Of State and
Church, and by and through whose aims
and influence the moral, social, educational
and material interests of our country are
developed and sustained, receive at least
fair share of the public patronage-which
their merits fully entitle them to.
''Gone upr' yes, the press deserves to
.''go up" TO attain the highest prosperity and
renown. ''Gone up" not in the vulgar
sense of the word, but "gone up in price,
in usefulness, in prosperity, and in appre-
ciatiyeness.
60 From thee, Press, what blessings flow
IT, unworthy mOrtals here below
Lies path to smoOthe:
The widow s cause, the infants tear
In thee friend are sure TO rear;
Their loss TO sOothe,
Through thee fair Liberty will stand,
The PToudest boast throughout this lanGi
See hist'ry's page!
The Press eIslayed, she inly moan,
And Freedoms sons in chains may groan,
From age 70 age
From the West Tennessee Democrat
The Nashville dailies have advanced their
price Of subscription from SIS to $40. We
do not know how their patrons like it, but
We do know that, with one exception, the
CD, they publish the best papers in the
South. If Nashville man doubts it, let
him compare them with others. We are
proud of their ent 9rprise and ability, and
hope that they may be sustained as they
so richly deserve.

The Coming Commune.

Discussion was resumed on Mr.. Hoar's
labor and wages bill.
Mr.. Campbell argued for referring the
subject to a select committee of the two
Houses. If the President appointed the
Commissioners, they would be selected
from the friends ofthe administration. Per-
chance Borie might be at thehead ofthe COM
mission and Tom Murphy at the tail, and
sandwiched between them would be perhaps
some men from Yale and Harvard TO go
abroad for the benefit of the service, and to
report, as in the San Domingo matter, the
character of vermin, bugs and lizards. On
the other hand a committee appointed by
the Speaker would be selected with impair
tiality, and would be composed Of repre-
sentatives of both capitalists and labor, and
of the Democratic party as well as the
Republican party. Unless Congress should
take prompt action to relieve the labOring
classes from the present oppressive system
of taxation, storm with disastrous conse-
uuences would be the result. The Repub-
lican party was not friend to the laboring
man. Congress Disseminated against labor,
and in favor of capital. Commenting on
the repeal of the income tax, he said the
rich man would thus be relieved ofEhis
proper burden of taxation and the deficit
made up by the mass of consumers.
Mr.. Dawes asked if the Democrats were
prepared to vote for retaining the income
tax.

here as the representative Of any party,
and said be would like to know If all the

WHEN change of less than one per cent
in the popular vote, on the basis of the

ment may be- considered theoretically, it
