Echoes from the Capital.

George NJ. Parsons, who has just re-
turned from Boise, supplies the fol-
lowing news items:
In the mandamus suit in Boise City
last week, Judge Pickett decided
that the County Probate Court had no
jurisdiction under either the old or
the new statutes in the election con-
test case, on the ground that it was
not court Of appeal, and had there
fore no appellate Jurisdict on.
Colonel E. A. Wall opened the ball
in the Legislature for the Mormon
contest, and gained victory in his
election as President of the Coun-
Gil. Hon. +. NJ. Wilson was less for
tunate, and the opposition to him
which has developed is not, as sup
posed, on account of his being from
Alturas county, but from the Mormon
sentiment of the house.
George Washington Stills is an as
pirant for the post of doorkeeper in
the House, and Uncle Johnny Two
good has been appointed doorkeeper
pro tenn. in the Council.
James Agnew, of Bellevue, was
beaten by George Baldwin, of Boise
county, for tn, position of Sergeant
alarms of the Council.
David Bingham, formerly Of Haley,
has been initiated, and now occupies
his position as guard in the Terrific
rial Prison at Boise.
The Postof1ice at Boise has been
discontinued, as it dill not ply wei,
enough to justify any one in bother

The trap has been bait d, and is
ready to spring, in Boise for securing

property-owners that the construction

STATE POLITICS.

The Hon. Rice Pearce, of Union City, who
is prominent candidate for Congress, is a
young man thirty five years OF age, who has
fought his way from poverty and obscurity
to undsputed eminence in his profession.
He is native of Weakley county, but has
been for the past ten years located at Union
City, in Obion, county, engaged in the prac-
tice of law. For eight years past he has
filed, with eminent satisfaction, the Office OF
attorney general for the Twelfth judicial dis
trict. As an evidence of his popularity at
the close of his first term as atiorney-gen-
eral only one man in he district, John NJ.
Clark, of Paris, ran against him, but Pearce
won the race by over $4,000 majority.
Pearce's native county, Weakley, only polled
seventy nine votes against him; Obion, his
present home, only about 100, while he beat
Clark in Clark's own county over 1900
Dyersburg Clipper.
We are informed that the Hon. B. A. En-
loe, OF Jackson, is a candidate for Congress
in this district, and will submit his claims to
convention of his party. Mr. Enloe is
staunch and thoroughly approved Democrat,
and has rendered the party valuable service
in every political campaign in the State since
the civil war. He was pressed into the cam
vass in 1869 by the Carroll county Democ-
racy to lead "forlorn hope" and beat the
Hon. w. w. Murray, late United States
Encouragement for West Tennessee. 1t will
be remembered that Mr.. Enloe was pressed
by his friends to make the race for Congress
in 1880, but that he declined for the sake of
harmony in the party, and did valiant SER
vice for General Atkins. Indeed, he stood
by Henry's favorite son not only on that, but
on another occasion, We mean in 1873, when
very strong efforts we're made to supercede

The Irish Labor League.

A new element Of interest in the Irish
problem is the growing power Of the Labor
League. This ia not 10 be COMPOUNDED with
the Land League, which is, in some respects,
a rival to it. The Land League aims to pro-
tect the small farmer against the exsctions
OF the non resident landlords. 1t fought for
the three F's and got them. 1t aims now to
make the tenant farmers the peasant pro-
prietors." But this, il all obtained, would
be slight benefit, if any, to the agricultural
laborers. The Irish proprietors might not
pay any better wages than the English land
lord. He might be, and often is. a very hard
master The Labor League is organized for
the protection of the agricultural laborers
against landlordism of all kinds, whether
English or Irish. Thus far the Labor League
and the Land League have co-operated; but
it is quite possible that the agrarian crimes
have been committed rather by the Labor
League than by the Lsnd League. 1t may
be that the agricultural laborers are not sat
isied with a settlement that makes conces-
sions chiefly to the tenant farmers, and per-
hsps it is desire to prevent any settlement
that falls short OF the complete independ-
ence OF Ireland that has led to the atrOcious
murders that have rendered Cancellation i'm
possible. There appears to be a horrible
logic in this line OF thought.

LITTLE Rock, June 19.-At Wheatley
Station, on the Memphis and Little Rock
railroad, late Saturday night, John Walker
and VIM. Snoddy quarreled about bust

out paying his debts. Walker obtained a
shotgun and secreted himself in the woods 10
shoot Snoddy. The latter came out of the
house and said to a friend: There's man
out there watching me. Pll shoot him"
Walker, hearing the words, rose to his feet,
saying: "Its me-" Snoddy fred at that in
slant, shooting Walker in the abdomen.
Walker snapped his gun at him and fell.
He then raised himself to his knees and
pulled the other trigger. The contents of
his gun struck Snoddy in the left arm, tore
away the muscles and entered his heart.
He was instantly killed. Walker was car
ried to his residence and died Sunday night.

THE JEWISH ExILEs REFUSE AGRI.
CULTURE.

The work Of settling the numerous Rus
sian exile Jews, who are driven away desti-
tute by the christians of the Greek Church
Of Russia, is proving, as might be expected,
no easy task. a correspondent of the Gin
cinnati IsTdeLite, of June 18th, states that the
idea OF colonizing the new arrivals in COM
munities is great error. 1t is easy to talk
OF making them agriculturists, but it cannot
be done. From the time they were driven
their thoughts. They and their ancestors
are traders; they know, and desire to know,
nothing else. They prefer trade to work, no
matter how light. On arriving here they
find the Jews generally to be well off from
trade, and few of them in agriculture, and
they thus regard trade as the way to wealth.
1t is slow work to learn to handle the pillow
and hoe, and no money comes in while learn
ing. Put a Russian Jew in the field and in
a few days he will leave the pillow in the fur
row, buy fifty cents worth of oranges and be-
come a trader. IAN example," SAYS the
writer, Mr.. Ulman, of Memphis, sis
furnished by the colony on Sicily
Island, established by the Israelites OF
New Orleans, at a cost, exclusive of
land, OF nearly $4,000; every implement
necessary for operation, supplies in plenty,
all facilities at hand, even place of worship
established. Enthusiastic at the outset,
swearing by all that is holy to faithfully at
tend to their labor, yet out of 100 persons
only eighteen remain, and it is more than
probable that more than one-half of these
will have deserted the colony before the first
crop is harvested. All want to trade, to make
money notwithstanding is too slow" The
fact of colonizing these immigrants in COM
munities creates jealousy; it jnclines them to
believe themselves thus isolated that they
may not become competitors of the Jews
who are in trade. This view of the case is
very discouraging, for it is certainly desir-
able that a fair proportion of the coming SET
tiers should resume the occupation of Abra-
ham and David, and not hang on helplessly
to the acquired habits that have been thrust
upon them by their enemies and prosecutors.

ZEE oRoPs AND rHe WEATHER.


The crop reports, as copied by the APPEAL
from the surrounding Memphis cotton dis
trict, show decided improvement. Wheat
and oats are harvesting, aud turn out not
only satisfactory, but better than has been
known for number OF years. Clover and
the grasses appear to be irregulsr in their
production, accounts in different sections diff
fering from poor to very good. Corn has
been kept back by cold, but the summer
weather of the last week has had an invig-
Grating effect. Cotton accounts have been
very gloomy; in many instances it was
ploWedTp and corn sown in its place. The
later accounts, however, show great improve
ment. A beaming sun by day and warm
breezss by night have given the plant color
and robustness. In places local rains, fall:
ing with excessive violence, have washed
away the soil or drowned out the
plant. Where second flood invaded
low lands the condition of cotton is generally
discouraging. The berries, apples, peaches,
beans, potatoes and other vegetables have
done we'll, and the districts shipping fruits
and vegetables to the North have been more
numerous than on any former year. After
the severe losses of last fall the money these
comWodities bring in is most welcome
blessing. Thunder, lightning and heavy
rain-storms, with occasional tornadoes, con-
tinue to prevail, and are causes of much
anxiety and some loss. the weather fore
caster, Vennor, in his statement of the weather
TO be looked for last week, June I1th to 18th,
spoke of warm, sultriness, thunderstorms
and showers. The present week, June 18th
to 24th, he represents as opening shot and
windy" from Monday to Thursday, sunset
tied and showery with muggy heat, thunder
and wind storms general" on Friday and
Saturday, "strong winds, evenings and
nights cooler" 1t will be RENE mbered that
10 his June Bulletin Vennor says to
the Memphis APPEAL that he will
shortly include Tennessee in his forecasts.
Without having done SO it must be acknowl-
edged, however, that his limitations have
Generosity been very near TO the facts. 1t is
with pleasure that we notice the attention
most of our country contemporaries give TO
report the conditions OF the crop around
them; only the slatternly, negligent ones
omit in any of their issues mention of the
condition of the crops in the country around
them. Careful editors, who understand their
business, show by their discriminating re-
marks that they take pains TO obtain inf6r-
nation that is full and accurate.

BISMARCK wORsTED.

Bismarck's great talent, and the eminent
services he has done his country, give him
great power, so that it is not easy to get up
strong opposition to his measures even when
they are unpopular. His success has led
him to believe he can always command sue
eest, but he has now net with a decided and
severe check. He has long desired TO make
the tobacco brsiness OF the country a gov

there is reason TO fear the destruction of the
crop. For a week or a fortnight previous
flies had made their appearance on the leaves
and shoots in the garden of the Weald and
portion of Mid-Kent, but only TO the extent
Of three or four on leaf. Since Sunday
they have arrived in legions, and as many
as forty or fifty may be counted on a leaf,
while the area of attack has been widened
until it pretty we'll comprises all East Kent,

counts come from parishes as widely sepa-
rated as Biddenden and Brabourne, Wood

THEIR ACTION EXPLAINED.

WASHINGTON, June 19.-It is stated in ex-
PLANTATION of the action OF the government
officers in the case of Doyle, sentenced to-day
in Chicago, that it will be no more difficult
for Doyle to communicate with them from
prison, where he will go after sentence, than
it has been during his confinement in Jail
awaiting sentence. The fact that he is under
sentence will not itself operate against him,
as he will have the same opportunity of prov
ing his association in regard to the bond plate
that he has had at any time since his arrest.
1t is also explained that the object of taking
a portion OF the plates to New York is to de-
termine whether they are electrotyped or en-
graved upon commercial copper. If it is
commercial copper, that fact will not prove
that they are genuine, or genuine impress
sion, for counterfeiters would be able to OBJ
tain commercial copper as we'll the gov
eminent. Ii, however, it should be decided
that they are the deposit OF battery, there
will be no doubt as 10 their being counterfeit.
