THE DEATH OF H.. BLOW.

The death OF Hon. Henry T. Blow, Of St.
Louis is announced. He died at Saratoga
on Saturday. The GloJe-Demoera. in a long
article lamenting his death, pays his men,
DRY the following tribute.
Some account Of Mr.. Blows private and
public life will he found elsewhere in this
issue Of the Globe-De.aozdt. 1t is impossi-
bic, however, to do justice to the memory
of such a maa in any sketch, however elab-
crate, pre- pared Under the eIige1c;es, and
conformed TO the requirements, OF a daily
newspape-. After TIE writer had exhaust
ed ali oh. ainable knowledge Of him, he has
eft the best and most important unto d.
He can tell of the Merchant, the Congress
man, and the Minister, but of that which,
after all, most concerns us as survivors
the Man-his narrative must be very mea-
ger, because his sources Of Information
must be very difficult To know NJ. Bow
only as one who held important pub
lie trusts, and discharged important pub
lie duties, was to know comparatively little
Of him but to know him as a friend, an
associate and companion, was to be ac-
quainted with one in whom all the best ell
ements of human nature were developed to
the highest degree. He Was truthful, he
was honest, he was honorable and iie was
generous, in the broadest sense in which
these terms can be used. He had a nature
which seemed TO attract all without repell-
ing any, and hence it was his rare good
fortune to enjoy TIE waTmest friendships
without mourning the slightest enmities.
In this respect he was an execution to the
general law of human nature, which seems
to decree that strong likes shall only CO.
exist with strong dislikes, and that cordial
friendships and bitter enmities shall be the
diverse and reverse sides Of the same medal.

LAGER BEER.

Lager beer is becoming - the rage
among even American born New Workers.
and ladies are especially taking to it as q
duck and teetotalers to water. 1t is driv-
ing out stronger stimulants to such an ex-
tent that drunkenness has appreciably di-
unfinished, among & certain class, and It's
advocates claim that when beer becomes
the national drink, drunkenness will be a
thing of the past. While, perhaps. 4 man
would he better off If he drank only water,
even total abstinence folk viii confess that
it liz better, if he must drink something be-
side water, he should imbibe beer in pref
erenoe to whisky, and that class of liquors.
If We were a nation OF beer drinkers, as
the Germans are, there would undoubtedly
be far less crime and poverty than now ex-
lists amongst us, and true temperance would
inculcate the substitution of beer for "bran-
dy and whisky, rum and gin, that's the go, y
etc. Man apparently cannot exist without
a cup that inebriates a little as well as
cheers, and beer is the least hurtful concoc-
ton that cheers without inebriating too
much. The light wines, too, that the Ger
mans drink are for some people better
substitute than beer for the more alcoholic
fluids, and 4 person who is not Utopian
enough to believe in the practical efficiency
oil total abstinence with the ali sorts OF
people that make up the world, will incul-
cate their use rather than include them in
the list of prohibited liquids.

EXP0RTINa CATTLE.

Commenting on the iublilance Of the
Boston press over the successful issue OF the
first experiment in shipping live cattle
from that port to England-the first ven
ture of the kind ever made in this country
the New York Journal Of Commerce calls
attention to the fact that the business in
wolves unusual risk OF los, because the new
English law to prevent the importation of
the foot-and-mouth disease, or II, r mala-
dies to which cattle are liable, is now en-
iorced with an unsparing hand. Had q
single one Of the herd, which numbered I6O
head, shown signs of sickness within twelve
hours from the time OF landing, all
the cattle would have been destroyed. So
long As this is the regulation We cannot
count with any great confidence on the con-
tinued success OF this new and interesting
feature of our export trade. The compul-
sorry slaughter Of cargo Of our cattle in
England would put q very sudden e1tin-
guisher on this novel line of business. The
appearance Of the cattle in Liverpool and
London, by the encouragement which they
afforded OF a possible relief from the enor-
mously high price Of meat, has, however,
stimulated the popular agitation for the
repeal OF the senseiess and oppressive rule.

ANOTHER TRADE-UNIoN FOLLY.

The Stonecutters' Union OF Chicago, has
Just furnished an example OF the evil which
such organizations inilict both on general
business interests and on the workmen
themseives. Owing to the cheapne-s OF ma
terisls in that city, a large amount OF
building has been going On there notwith-
standing the dull times anu this, of course,
has been Of advantage to the business OF the
city at large. The average wages OF stone
cutters has been $50 day, the best work
men getting more and the less skilIiul ones
less. The Stonecutters' Union Vas not,
however, satisfied with this condition OF af-
fairs. First ii induced the County Com
missioners to pass a resolution prohibit
ing the use, in the new Chicago Court
House, OF stone, which had been prepared
by convict labor, on the ground that hon.
est workmen should not be compelled to
come in competition in respect to their
wages with prison prices. This request
having been granted the Union at once Or
dered strike, with a demand for three
dollars day for every stonecutter without
regard to the efficiency Of his labor. The
Tribune of that city says that the result
will probably be the speedy addition of
two hundred or more men to the number
Of the unemployed, and, of course, CORES
ponding decrease in building operations.
1t would be difficult to imagine more rep
rehensible course than that OF these Union
leaders, and it will be surprising if the day
does not soon come when workmen will see
how blind they are to their own interests
when they delegate to few paid leaders
the control over those personal rights
which lie at the foundation of all true lib

TENN ESsEE.

MEMPHIS, Sept. ia gentleman from
Charleston, Miss, gives the following ac-
count OF the troubles III Tallahatchie coun-
try, last Thursday Two negroes, who, it
is claimed, live in Arkansas, registered as
voters at Friarson's store, and warrants
Tor their arrest were issued AMI given To the
constable, who took p,sse with him rs
they approached the place where the me-
groes were staying, the latter saw them, and
fled they were pursued into Coahoma coun-
ty, AMI two OF the posse, Evans and Baford,
ii is claimed, fired at the negroes IA they
ran the negroes, in the vicinity OF Tren-
ton, hearing Of the affair, armed To the
number OF seventy-fve, AMI proceeded To
Friarson's store, and demanded that Evans
and Buford should be given up to them, be-
having, in the meantime, in a riotous
manner.
County Treasurer Stewart, who is also
deputy Sheriff, assured them that if they
would return home he would arrest Evans
and Buford, which he did not do, and on
Saturday II was ascertained that large
body OF armed negroes had gathered at
Trenton, and the whites living near Friar-
sons sent Treasurer Stewart and ]. C. Rob
inson TO try TO induce them to disperse, but
they found them very violent, and were
threatened with hanging. Robinson and
Stewart returned and notified the citizens
that the negroes were swearing ven
geance against them. Calls were then
made on Oakland, Charleston and Grenada
counties for assistance, and nen have gone
from these points.

WHO WERE TO BLAME,

Even though Our Democratic friends do
lifier ON the currency question, yet one ex
socts to find them united on purely politi-
al topics. This however is not the case,
e Will be seen by reading the following ex-
ract from an editorial in the St. Louis Re
lf'siLiicun, Liberal-Democratic paper, and
hen CHANGING Al the succeeding article from
he Iiac5 OF the same city.
Nobody ever heard OF fight between
whites and blacks in the South being queli-
j by the local officers, and nobody eyer
sill these fights generally, II not invaria-
Ny, take place III districts where the blacks
,utEumber the whites, and always end as
I'D this affair III Clinton-in the whites
allying from the surrounding country, at
acking the negro mob, massacreing I'M
snown numbers OF them and driving the
est III terror from the disputed ground.
N short they end in a bGtoliIy OF the
blacks and = victory Tor the whites. All
he accounts We have received OF The Gin
on affair, even those from the side OF The
yhites, indicate tha: In, latter were to
,lame for It'll not for its commencement,
Al least ior the pitiless cruelty with which
hey conducted it.
Now, mark the Republican says that the
thites were TO blame, while the Times takes
altogether different view Of the matter in
he following article from that paper:
Ii Is not reasonable 10 suppose that in a
country where the blacks outnumber the
whites at least two TO one, that the latter
would wan.only provoke collision and try
an issue OF arms. Kinds county is under
the control Of the negroes, and the codnty
authorities are negroes, and law and might
sere both on their side. This reasonable
Flew of the case is borne ont by the facts
E7eported. The trouble commenced by the
attempt OF 4 negro official TO wrongfully
AXE a whisky bottle from white man,
sho resisted, and the shooting began.
When the lIst shot has been fired between
ghites and negroes, the two elements be-
(eome uncomfortable, and war OF races is
al once inaugurated, rs far as that crowd is
concerned. For this war, those who pro-
coke the collision are responsible, and it
ian hardly lie questioned that the negroes
must be held accountable in this instance.
We believe that the Rej,abiiodn is the
more correct OF the two papers, and that
he whites were TO blame for the unfortun-
ate troubles at Clinton. An order had
oeen issued, iorbidding the Use OF whisky at
The meeting. A colored man was marshal
bf the day. A crowd of drunken whites
we're raising row passing around wills
fy bottle. The marshal promptly COM
handed them to throw away the bottle,
fhey refused, and when he endeavored to
Enforce sensible order the whites fired
their reyolvers. The poor blacks were UNI
Armod, they fled for safety, were pursued
by their iendish enemies, and slaughtered
/ ike cattle. And yet, in view OF these facts
he Times asserts that 'ihe negroes must be
held accountable" The editors of that pa
per are certainly blinded by sectional pref

ONE rs ENOUGH.

Some fool or fools are talking of starting
, second paper at Hutchinson, Reno coun-
~. Wedo not know the names of the par
lies, but believe that they are either idiots
pr knaves, and if the people of Hutchin-
son countenance their silly efforts in that
1irection, they are acting unfairly toward
Nr. Meredith, who publishes a model week
~ in every respect. We have no patience
~ith those politicians who when they cannot
conduct theIf home paper TO suit their per
Ponal interests, hold out inducements to
pome poor fellow with small amount of
money and brains, to start rival sheet.
We believe that Hutchinson cannot SUD-
port one paper as it should be, and if an
bther appears, instead of representative
'ournal As it now has, it viii be inflicted
Nth two sickly, puny, begging sheets, a
Disgrace to the county and the town. Mark

railroad has been completed to Las Ami
mas, Colorado.
Arrangements have been completed for

BOARD OF TRADE.

We believe that the time has arrived
when the people Of Ieavenworth must 70
to work in earnest and do something to re-
gain the trade they have lost, and which of
right belongs 10 them. We have been idle
for over a year, merchants and farmers
have been discouraged, and had almost
given up all hopes OF ever being able tore
trieve their misfortunes. But now Kansas
is blessed with peace and plenty, our gran
aries are full, our factories busy, our yne-
chanics at work, and tradesmen active.
II Leavenworth ever expects to become
the metropolis Of Kansas, and of the Mis-
souri, Valley, she must take immediate &C
ton, and the people must become united
and determined. 1t is useless for us to re-
peat the old story Of our troubles and dis

A CORRECTION.

1t has gone the rounds OF the press that
Alex. ii. Stevens is the oldest NJ. c., i. C.,
that he served in IN earlier Congress than
any of his rrescn: oomleers. This is mis-.
take.
Fernando Wood is now the Father OF the

Congress than any of the compeers. He
was first elected to the 9th Congress, in
1871, and served in the 9th, 18th, 10th,
4lst, AID and 43d, ard is now serving in the
4ith.
Alex. II. Stevens nearest approaches
Wood. He was first elected TO the 2Sth
Congress, in 1913, and served in the 10Th,
S0th, 3lst, sd, 33d, 34th and Sjth Con-
crosses, period Of ii years. After q re-
