had pIandered and insulted. 1t was
hoped that the dens in which they held
their Loyal Leagues you'd be- like the

den people, cursed with the debt entsjled

REEUILDrSG THE RADICALrEmpLE

History informs US that in the interior
Of asia, and far away amid the gloomy
jungles of India, there exist vast cities,
ia which may be found the uncouth
ruins of the temples Of religions Eongf for
gotten. In the past ages the scenes Of
corrupt rites, they are now the abode
only Of ravenOus beasts and hideous rep
tiles. Camp, dark, and slimy, the trav-
eler who is courageous enough to ex-
plore uaeir gloomy recesses finds only
the hyena or jackal skurrying along the
unhSalthy corridors, or the serpent
drooPinN in horrid folds from the tops
Of the cr0mbling pillars. 1t is sur
missed that these decaying edifices were
once the shrincs Of strange, unholy rites
ministered To- corrupt priests, who ruled
tbs people by the te-zors of superstition,
until they arose in rebellion and swept
them from their dishonored affairs, leav-
ing the very edifices IL which they piled
theiraccursed vocationtoruin and decay,
orin their rage dismanflingthem so far As
they could, s. that they could never
again be used for their old, unholy pur-
poses. We intend in this article to draw
a parallel between the fate of these ori-
entail corruptionists and their crime, and
the fate Of the Radical crew who once
ruled and plundered thepeople of Shelby
county. -Four years ago the Radicals of
Shelby county, headed by Curry and
Mclean, were bowling in Memphis like
infuriatei demons. Night was made
hideous by the parades of boisterous ne
groes. The bluff was the Mecca and the
Pandemoniam for the Radical pilgrim
in search Of Office. Barbour Lewis dis
eoursed about the rebels, preached dis
franch;sement, and Curry shouted
Amenl The red heads Of Wickersham
and Mclean famed up and nodded APP
provingly when Stokes and Brownlow
were praised - political divinities.
These Radicals established a bogus court
for the purpose Of plundering the people.

ers a debt which viii grind them

THE New York Herald asks: "Why
do not The press Of the country cease fol
a time their twaddle about the Bait,

about the more immediate question Of
strikes?" With strikes we have moth
ing to do. They occur only in the over
crowded districts and cities. The solu-
ton of the problem may be found in the
transfer Of an excess Of population al
any point to new States and Territories.
The process would cost capitalists and
