Those who labor among the dependent poor
must have frequently felt the necessity Of
some organized plan for providing suitable
nourishment for the sick, or have seriously
lamented the inadequacy of both medicine and
careful treatment to combat lack of proper
food This necessity will be successfully met
by q scheme recently proposed for establish
ing diet kitchens throughout the city, which
are to become adjuncts to the different dispen-
sares. This need is mostly felt among the
children of the poor.
The scheme in question was suggested by
the visiting physicians of every leading city
dispensary, and endorsed by SO many of the
leading medical men in the city that it would
be inv:dious To name them lest few might be
omitted. II took form in the incorporation
recently Of society named "Tte New York
Diet Kitchen" which designs 10 establish q
diet kitchen in some central place in each dis
pensary district.
Each kitchen will be under charge Of q
competent matron, and will honor written
resuisitions upon it by the house or visiting
physicians of the district for cruel, panado,
beef tea, jellies and oil matters of curative
diet. OF course this can only be accom-
plshed by the aid of subscriptions and
donations. BY the terms of incorporation
any annual subscriber Of only three dollars
becomes q member. The Treasurer is Mr..
Tiffany, Of Union square. The management
comprises such names as Mesdames Robert
Hoe, J. Langdon Ward, James M. Halstead,
Joseph H. Choate, William @. Whitney, James
4. DE Psyster, James G. Carter, &c.
The late DIR. Valentine Mott used to observe
that to tho sick poor suitable food was the
best medicine. How few Of them can obtain
appropriate diet for fevers, exhaustion and the
variety of disorders induced by impure air
ard toll I! The existing dispensariss provide
doctors and prescriptions. The new plan

Diving for News.

The appliances of model.u Journalism for
collecting news are marvellous IN the extreme,
and many of the wonders of the = Thousand
and One Nights" pale before them. No SUBJ
ject is too abstruse, no perils too formidable,
no personages too exalted, no countries too
remote for the modern news gatherer. Night
and day every detail of the worlds history ia
noted down, and the face of the globe is
scrutinized for the information of thousands
OF anxious readers. The clicking wires tell
many strange story by land and sea, related
by some journalistic Puck, who has put q
girdle around the earth or some considera-
BILE portion of it. Darkness and exclu-
siveness are forced to give way before
the light of journalism reporters now
sally forth like knight Grants to rescue,
not distressed damsels, but lost explorers
the haughtiest princes lend willing ear to
the irrepressible interviewer the painted
aborigine, sullen towards government Off
cials, gladly unbosoms himself to the knight
of the quill and the savage threats of Captains
General and their myrmidons prove impotent
against the faithful journalist The apparent
inaccessbility of news serves only as spur
to the reporter of to-day; the more difficult
the task the greater the incentive to accom-
plish it. The patient Livingstone on the
shores of Tanganyika, the undismayed patriot
in the Businesses of Cuba, and the aggrieved
red man in his lava bed, are alike the care Of
the journalist Not content with seeking in
formation in the heavens above (for the bal
loon has frequently served as o vehicle
Of news) and on the earth below,
the news explorer has visited the
depths of ocean on the same mission. Re-
solved on finding out from personal inspection
the exact condition of the wreck OF the ill-fated
Atlantic, HERALD correspondent dons q
diving suit and makes his way through shoal
of fish to the steerage cabins and hold of the
sunken vessel. His eyes look through the
glasses Of the divers helmet on the terrible
spectacle of mutilated corpses lying fathoms
deep beneath the ocean wave, the victims Of
rapacity, carelessness and ignorance. The
result of his experience is told in yesterdays
paper. 'Down in coal mine must now
give way to the refrain of the HERALD cor
respondent
Down among the fishes,
Underneath the wave,
Where six hundred victims lie
In an ocean grave.

over and all those members of Congress who
NO heroically spurned the back pay grab are

taking quiet nibble Of the forbidden fruit.
We hardly think it would "pay," even il

THE UsUgy LAWS AND THE Lookup OF

business man, especially as be has made
clear the iniquity in the eyes Of the law Of any
conspiracy to derange the money market
He maintains that in the language Of our Re
vised Statutes such combination is an act in
furious to trade and commerce, and he quotes
Blackstone as saying, "At common law prac-
tees which make the market dearer 10 the fair
trader were offences against public trade"
The men who are guilty of these conspiracies
are also guilty Of breaking the usury laws, for
the one crime is committed that the other
may be. As a further authority in this inter

The GAsMEN's STRIKE HAS ASSUMED A
DANGEROUS ASPECT. Yesterday Italians and
Germans who were working for low wages in
place Of the strikers were attacked and beaten.
We have earnestly sided with the men in
their struggle against the crushing corporate
monopolies; but the men on strike will lose
every claim to sympathy by the criminal as
saults described elsewhere as having been made.
They must know that no appeal to force can be
permitted in any well regulated community to
decide such matter. The instant that the
striker lays down his moral force and takes
up the physical he becomes public enemy
All this irritation may have been cunningly
foreseen by the companies; but the men must
learn to restrain themselves from violence
nevertheless. If they cannot win by legal
means they had better submit quietly than
draw down suffering upon themselves and
families by hopelessly continuing the strike.
The SANDWICH islanders, natives and for
eigners, landowners and commercial men,
appear to be exceedingly anxious for the nego-
tiation and perfection of reciprocity treaty
with the United States. valuable territorial
concession in the shape of q harbor which
could be used for naval purposes would be

HON, f. e.

p For tho last lew weeks We have been in
receipt Of many communications from diff
aerent parts OF this Congressional District
suggesting Judge Gillenwaters as the
proper one to make the next race for
Congress. Some of these letters we have
published which have informed our rea>
ders Of the general feeling of the people.
We have also comersed with many in
afuential Republicans from Carter, Sulli>
van, Washington, and Greene counties
during the present term of the Circuit
Court at this place and find that Gillen>
waters is almost the unanimous choice of
I 10 people in these counties, The Judge
stands high in the estimation of the peo-
pie. No ono can charge him with dishon-
esty. His character will stand the sever
est test, while that Of many other public
men we are sorry to say "whcn weighed
in :he balance will be found wanting"
We shall heartily support the Judge
for this honorable position if he consents
to make the race.

MtsSrs. Editors The mention of
Judge Gillenwaters in the Herald aud
Tribune, and other papers, as our next
representative in Congress, has the hearty
approval, not only of the Republicans
but OF the people generally in Hawkins,
his native county, No mar in the State
can command a better vote in this county.
His reputation for honesty, integrity and
ability in public life is well established,
not only in his W county but in all parts
of the Congressional District. His
knowledge of public affairs, of the science
of Government and his appreciation of
right and justice prominently qualify
him for the position to which the people
are now calling him with such remarks

didate he will receive the largest vote
ever pol)cd for any one man in this county.

OUR IRON INTEREST.

, We should be pleased to see the atten.
tom OF our people turned to the iron in
terast of East Tennessee. A few indi-
viduals here and there are agitating this
matter, We cannot expect capitalists at
a distance to settle among us until We
give evidence Of a desire to have our
great mineral resources developed. We
ourselves have no conception of the nd
yantages to be derived fIom advertis-
ing our resources. We live in an iron
age. Almost everything is made of Iron
the consumption of which is increasing
from yearto yeor. W. may never live
to see the day, but the day is coming
when the valley Of East Tennessee will
become the great manufacturing district
Of the South. Though we may not be
able to do much towards Fastening on such
grand enterprises, still We can indulge a
hope of seeing our iron interest developed
and do something towards developing it.

The Knoxville Chronicle has a sensi.
bic article to indicate what Southern Con,
gressmen ought to do, from which we
make the following extract:
Our Representatives in Congress from
the Soath ought to unite as one man, re-
gardle,s of political differences, and work
Tor their people. We are opposed to Sec
tiOnalism, but Representatives owe some
thing more to their immediate coustitr.
encies than they do to the people in other
localities. w want OUR rivers and har-
bors improved, and cur commercial in
tcrasts placed on an equal footing with
other sections of the country, or as near so
as justice would demand. The bill Of
Senator Alcorn, providing for the con,
struction of levees on the Mississippi, Is a
case in point. While it is a LEGAL im>
prorement, it is, at the same time, one
of National Importance. The same of
our W Tennessee River, and other i'm,
prcvcmcnts we could mention.
BY uniting, combining and consulting
with each other on public questions, our
National lawmakers can act together un>
derstandingly, and will command more lie.
spect and exercise a greater influence in
the National Congress. In the past dozen
years we have presented a broken front.
We have been fighting among ourselves.
The rebellion almost ruined us, and we
have been trying to finish the work of
devastation by joining in a Kilkenny
fight among ourselves. The result is, we
have been ignored in the National couu-
ellis. Our men of ability that have been
honored with places in Congress have been
kept in back seats while the North and
West have had a lions share. We have
no representation in the Sulreme Court
from the South. Until the present ses>
sion no Southern Representative has been
honOred with a Craftsmanship of any lead
ing committee either in the House or
Senate. This is the result of our division
auc distractions. We trust this will be
kept up no longer. We trust that South
ern Congress men will take these matters
into consideration. There are u great
many things we might say further on this
subject. if We had space. Let our Rep.
reseutati'cs differ OIL political questions.
This we expect. Let them agree to disa-
gree on purely political questions, but
they have no right to allow these differ.

FARMERS CLUBS.

The farmers movement in. East Ton
nessee is attracting q great deal of attcn.
ton, not only with those who are engaged
in Agriculture, but with those who are
engaged in other business. What will be
the result Of this great movement cannot
now be anticipated. We are sure every
good citizen wishes it to benefit those for
$hom it was originated.
The farmers, as a class, compose a very
large majority of the people, they make
their living honestly. they toll from the
first Of January till the last of December,
and if by concert OF action in this great
movement they will be enabled to better
contend for their rights; and advance their
interests the result will be good. we
heartily wish them success, knowing that
when the farmer is successful all other
business will be equally SO.
We have offered the columns of the
II RAID AND TRIBUNE to the different
clubs in the county through which they are
invited to advocate their cause, but as yet
they seem slow to furnish articles for pub
l~ication. We know there are many good
farmers in this county that are we'll posted
in their business and could write articles
that would be appreciated by the public,
and hope when the new year comes they
will favor us each week with interesting
matter.
