The FHnd Improper if the
President Lives.
From the Philadelphia Times. ]


The newspaper press of this country
owes duty to the public in the matter of
the fund now raising for Mrs. Garfield
Should the President die there can be no
question raised about the good taste and
the appropriateness Of the gift. If. how
ever, the President shall live there will
be serious question which very proper
ly presents itself to one or two of the
donors who have made their subscriptions
conditional on the death of the President.
This is precisely what should be done
with the whole fund. The matter must
be looked at, in the event of the Presi-
dents living, just as if he had never been
shot. No one doubts the improperly of a
gift by men many of whom are interested
in important legislation which the Presi-
dent will be called upon to approve or
disapprove. The donors should relieve
the President of the embarrassment of
appearing ungracious by refusing the gift
to his wife.

Ouareiing Editors.

What on earth is the matter with the
editOrs2 The two May6e papers have
been Ienouncing each other as liars,
scoundrels, SC; the Henderson editors
accuse each other of robbing safes, serv-
ing term in the peniten,iRry, and like
charges; aud the two Fulton papers, and
the FHltoniGR and Clinton Democrat, are
exchanging such compliments as liars
towards, AMI all manner of bad words.
Fie, gentlemen, sine upon you'll We are
sorry to see such outbursts among the
brethren; and beg them to qui, it and 20
to work to help build up their respective
communities. The scum and riff raft Of a
community pat an editor on the back and
shout "bully boy" over such newspaper
warfares, but the better judgment of ,he
public turn with repugnance from such
quarrels. We confess to no sympathy
for that old style of journalism which
expected one editor to step out and be
shot, or make "cold corpse OF his con-
frerc, because they differed on some issue
in their papers; but editors are human
beings, subject 10 all the weaknesses and
frai,ties of other fellows, and if griev-
ances arise, and nothing will do but

cisely as other gentlemen settle their
differences, and not fill their papers with
their personal feuds. If one editor does
lie, let his opponent pr0re it, and there
rest his case with an Intelligent public.
Fortunately there's never much blood
shed in these editorial wars; and the pub.

owes end man No. 81. and hands the
dollar he has just received to him and
nays the half he owes. Three dollars
in debts have been paid, and end

turing Convention at
PaduCaIi.

The towns and counties of West Ten
nessse are to hold an immi grafton and
manufacturing convention in Jackson, on
August 10. Each county is entitled to
ten delegates, and each town to three
The railroads carry all delegates free,
and the Jackson hotels entertain delegates
during the sitting Of the convention at
Sl.0O day. We notice as an evidence of
the interest felt by the people of West
Tennessee in this important movement
that, the counties and towns are officially
appointing the delegates. We presume
whatever action this convention may
take will be auxiliary to the efforts of
the State in the same direction, and that
their proceedings will be presented to
the next Legislature of Tennessee to en-
courage the State to a grand forward
movement. Our special object in thus
directing attention to this praise worthy
movement on the part of our Tennessee
neighbors is to suggest the assembling of
similar convention of the counties of
West Kentucky, or Southern Kentucky, al
Paducah, on some day before the assem-
bling of the incoming Kentucky Legis-
lature. We believe such movement,
could be made of great benefit to our i'm.
mediate section, and probably induce this
State to some organized effort. Out o.
the many thousands of foreigners whC
arrived on our shores last year, only I
few hundred found their way into Ken

portion of the State, if favorably i'm

Vvorkmen Wanted Intne South

Despite the immense tide of emigration
setting to our shores, says the New FORK

migrants is greatly in excess Of the sup
ply. Skilled workmen, common laborers,
and female servants are all in demand.
The Star adds
One pleasant feature of this extraordi-

that the demand comes from the South,
where factories and railroads wait for the
hand of labor to develop great channels
of wealth and prosperity. So anxious

this enormous sum of money covers in
