KNIGHTS OF EoNoR


The central relief committee of tho
knights Of Honor of this city have
made and issued in pamphlet form a
report Of their acts and transactions,
receipts and disbursements during the
terrible epidemic of 1878. The daily
history of the epidemic has been con-
densed and the main events of that
period grouped and set forthin clear,
vivid and concise manner, which can
not fail to be of great interest to the
members of the fraternity throughout
the Union and to the public at large
1t is not only record of the part
taken by this noble order, but it is
an epitOmized history of the epidemic
from the standpoint of the committee,
graphic, accurate and thrilling. We
have not seen a more concise and per-
spicuous report or record from any of
the benevolent organizations that
sought to cheer the living and soothe
the dying during those terrible times.
1t will be very valuable for reference
in the future, and will inspire with
pride and sympathy the members of
this powerful young order all over
the country. Looking over the death
list we see that Memphis Lodge, No.

report that he does not wish to re enter
public life, and would decline a nomi-

Republicans believe that. let them try
it aud see whether lie will refuse.
Grant said something once before
about the possibility of an emergency
arising that might force him to serve
a second term, and sure enough it did
arise just about the time he secured
the nomination.

BLAINEs late effort in the senate
on the army appropriation bill was
nearer failure than most of his cut
and dried speeches. Itwas lacking in
dramatic effect, in fire, vim, force and
wit. He even admitted that there
was no revolution in the proposed
Democratic measures, but rounded
off his period by saying that Demo
cratic action had the audacity of
revolution. His attempt to call
Lincoln from the grave in his funeral
clothes to wither the Confederates,
who are wiping out war legislation was
a failure, as it frightened nobody and
was evidently made in bad faith.
Lincoln sleeps on all the same and the
wiping out process is not impeded
either by Blaines speeches or Lin
coins ghost. Blaine is out of a
hobby. lie can never excel his first
frantic capers when he sprang into
the arena and delivered his
fiery maledictions against the South.
The people expect too much of him.
lie can never reach the standard he
first set up, and suffers by the contrast
every time he makes the trial. Blaine
has his followers and his admirer,
North, as any man will have who ap,
peals to sectional prejudicos, but his
reputation is on the wane, and his in.
fuence not widespread or abiding. A,
n candidate for the Presidency he il
scarcely considered in the race.
