THE GRAVE
Stand Taken by the Democratic
Senators in View OF Possible
Events.
Special to PhiIn. telegraph. Rep.l


WASHINGTON, August pa pleas
ing feature in the present situation is
the patriotic stand openly taken by
the Democratic Senators of late with
respect to the proper action Of the
Senate in the event of the Presi-
dents death.
The composition Of the Senate,
politically considered, is such that
the Democrats, if so disposed, could
make infinite trouble. But it is evil
dent that they wish TO meet the Re-
publicans in a friendly and concilia-
tory spirit. Senator Beck's statement
that he would voto for Senator An
thony as President Of the Senate, and
thereby, of course, Vice President Of
the United States, has given the
greatest satisfaction, and offered a
solution of a difficulty which threat
| ened to disturb the country,
The position of the Senator is uni
versally approved as sensible and
proper. To select a Democrat as the
next to the Executive, even If this
could be done without fierce and pro
tracted opposition. would in the pres
emit state Of popular feeling, be very
imprudent, and might lead to the
greatest evils. Senator Pugh is re-
ported this morning to have taken his
stand by the side Of his Democratic
colleague. He thinks that no great
change will be attempted as a result of
the Presidents death. He believes
Arthur will not make any marked in
novations, and if he tried to do so he
would be opposed not only by the ma
jority Of the Republicans, but by the
solid Democratic strength.
The Senator says: Every sensible
man knows that the most violent op-
position would be encountered by any
man or body who should attempt to
overturn the measures or to chance
the policy Of the administration so far
as it has been mapped out by Presi-
dent Garfield. None but a crazy
man would attempt it. lie would be
baked at the very first step. He
could do nothing without the sanction
or cooperation Of the Senate. There
he would run against the solid
strength of the thirty-eight Demo
cratic Senators and fully twenty
five Of the thirty eight Republicans.
Such being the yielding disposition
Of the Democrats on questions of
broad national policy, it is very likely
that they will ask that the clerical
force be maintained in its present
mixed character, the Republicans
keeping the committee organization
and they the patronage of the offices Of
the Secretary and Sergeant at Arms,
Nor would snch a position be un.
reasonable. If they consent, though
equal or superior in numerical strength
to the election Of a Republican to fill
the vacancy caused by Arthur's eleva-
ten to the Presidency, they can de-
mand with propriety that the vacancy
caused by the death Of Secretary
Birch be filled by a successor Of the
same political allegiance.

Cm.taiIing Mail Routes.

White County Expositor.l
Mr.. Gibson, editor of the Knoxville
Republican, and P~ostofice Inspector,
was in Sparta last week looking after
our mail facilities. And we under
stand he said he should recommend
the curtailing of several of our mail
routes, which. if carried out, will cut
off some ten or a dozen mails which
arrive at and depart from this
place during the week. We hope Mr..
Gibson will not do this. While the
number of trips on some routes might
be reduced, yet any wholesale reduc-
ton as contemplated would work dis
astrously to our section. 1t is true
this Congressional district sends a
Democrat to Congress. and is decided
lg opposed to Mr.. Gibson's way OF
thinking politically, yet we doubt not
it pays more revenue to the govern
ment than does Mr.. r. district. And
being persuaded that the pruning
knife is not being used in his district,
we protest against it being so energet-
ically applied in ours.

solution Of the Germanic Confedera-
ton and made a new organization Of
Germany, from which the House Of
Hapsburg was excluded, and of which
Prussia and the House of Hohen-
zollern became the head. A few
years laters the humiliation of France
enabled him to elevate his royal
master to imperial dignities. William,
the Emperor, is a product of the Bis
MARKHAM brain. Without Bismarck,
Prussia would have yet been a State
among the German States, at the head
of which would have remained
Austria. Yet Emperor William is ne
dummy. lie was old when he sue
oeeded King Frederick William Nv,
in 1861, and he has very faithfully fol-
lowed the policy of his house, which
is that of acquiring territory by rob-
berry. He took an active part in re-
organizing Prussia's military system
in the early years of his reign in an
ticipation of the work he had to do.
Fortunate in securing two such men
as Bismarck and Won Moltke, he al,
lowed them to work out their schemes
for Prussia's aggrandizement and
through conflicts with the ultra mon
tanes, the war for plumber with Dem
mark, the creation of the North Ger,
man Confederation, the Austrian and
French humiliations and the creation
of a navy, William finds himself to-
day the leading power on the cont
nent Of Europe, at the head OF an
empire upheld by the most superb
army in Europe and by the brains Of
the shGrpest political manager il

CHATTANOOGA, August 27.-Your
correspondent interviewed Colonel Il.
w. Cole this afternoon on the bidding
for the Cincinnati Southern railway.
He does not think it proper for him,
one of the bidders, to speak at present
but will say that the bids can not be
otherwise than highly gratifying to
Cincinnati. When asked which bid,
in his opinion, was the most favorable
for the city, he said of course his was,
as did the other bidders of theirs. OF
one thing, however. he vas satisfied.
He could give the Cincinnati Southern
railway more miles of connection than
any other bidder. He is of the opinion
that the road will certainly. be leased
to one of the bidders. When askedii
he and the Erlanger syndicate had a
previous understanding in reference
to their bids, he did not answer d.
rectly, but said their relations were
altogether friendly and that Their
interests could at no time clash, and
if he leased the Cincinnati Southern
railway he would be happy to have
them as his allies, and If they were
the successful bidders he would in nc
way oppose them.

The Crusade Against the Jews.
New York Herald

new 1OrK herald,l
We had hoped that the excitement
in Germany against the Jews would
die away. 1t seems, however, that
this anticipation was not we'll founded.
The antipathy Of certain classes in
Germany toward the Jews is a curious
phase Of the national character. It is
not a new phenomenon. For genera,
5ions the Jews have been under a ban
in Germany. One of the few blessings
which Napoleon l.. gave to Germany
was the abolition Of the prospective
regulations affecting the Jews in vari-
GUS German towns. The bitterness,
of Heine toward Prussia and his vir.
tual remuneration Of his German birth.
right was inspired by the fact that he
belonged to the Jewish race and
resented the treatment Of his comma.
triots by the Germans. This feelin,
of race antipathy is a curious defec.
in our civilization and a subject fo,
general regret.

paper.

QUGNoY, ILL, August 27.-Dr.
Marks, tie manager ofthe operahouse,
received a dispatch y Friday from
Springfield from Mr.. d. Hess, manager
Of the Hess Opera Troupe, to the ef-
feet hal if IL. N. Wheeler, editor of
the Herald, was admitted to the opera
house his company could not play.
This dispatch was printed in the at
ternoon Republican paper, and the
greatest excitement prevailed, as it
was thought Mr.. Wheeler would 60
TO the operahouse and that trouble
would ensue. AS was expected,
Wheeler went, and trouble was only
avoided by Mr.. Hess receding from
his position. If any demonstration
had been made against Wheeler there's
no telling what damage would have
resulted, as the city is at fever heat
over a series of articles vilely assailing
President Garfield which have lately
appeared in the Herald. About one
o'clock the pounding of drums was
heard, and directly after a torch-light
procession composed Of twenty or
thirty men and boys, headed by a
wagon, upon which the efigy Of
Wheeler was hanging and two or three
transparencies, with notices, appear
ed upon the principal streets. After
marching around for some time, the
procession stopped near the Herald
Office and lighted their efigy,
which it was their intention
to burn. Immediately the crowd
was charged upon by the Her
aid employees, aad the burned cfigy
ex6nguished, and things were hot tol
q few minuses, and the wonder is
some one was not hurt.
