OKLAHOMA PAYNE
To be Tried at Fort Smith, Ark, I'm the
Federal Court.

DALLAS, TEX, September 2O.-Csptain
Payne, of Oklahoma notoriety, who was ar
rested August 18th as a tresspassr on In
dian territory, and who has been in custody
at Fort Reno, passed through here Tuesday
for Fort Smith, Ark, where he will be tried
in the Federal Court. Payne is accom-
panied by his wife and child and eleven
followers, in charge of Lieutenant Taylor
and q squad of soldiers OF the Ninth Cav
airy. Payne refused to cross the territories
eastward with Lieutenant Taylor, on the
ground that he feared lynching by Indians.
He was brought southwark by railroad,
where he reached Henrielts, Tex, Monday
Payne sued out writ of habeos corpus for
himself and followers in the District Court,
but Lieutenant Taylor refused to recognize
it, whereupon q warrant was issued for the
arrest of Taylor himself. This was also re-
sisted, the civil officers not being permitted
10 enter the car. The affair created quite a
commotiou in Henrietta. Payne talked
freely with reporters here, saying he has no
fear of the result, and all he asks is 10 get
his case fairly in court. He is satisfied it
will be decided In his favor.

We have reached under protective tariff
that shameful condition of trade which has
caused protected manufacturers themselves
to denounce protection and to ask for relief
from it. The largest manufacturers Of hard
ware in the Union, several manufacturers of
jewelry aad two extensive tanners. have
shown the wandering Tariff Commission
how they sre hindered by the tariff from ex.
porting goods. All these protests, and they
are all peculiarly strong, have been made
unasked for, indeed, against opposition. The
men who have made them either confessed
openly or showed BY their manner that thew
expect no relief from the com mission. but thew
took advantage of the opportunity to speak
less 10 the commission than 10 the country.
The political party that shall have the cour-
age to fight this battle for them will win
their support and bring new era of pros
perity alike TO manufacturer and Iaborers.
and elevate the character and build ND the
thought Of the people that the tariff degrsdes.

From the Nashville American we learn
that Mr.. james, Of Chattanooga, in his
speech the other night at the Masonic Thea
ter in that city, referred TO a statement BY
somebody, that "ihs Bate men say that after
the election they ere going to retire The
RUSSELL men 10 private life" and that
"they were talking in his town Of a Soc 81
society which would refuse to associate
with Fussen men" on which propositions
Mr.. James added, "hi4 party would
vote unanimously" This is nonsense. The
fact that tie Wilson-Savsge Democrats and
tue John V. Wright Democrats OF 1880 are
nov acting together as cordially and earn
estly as il they never differed is proof that
the Democrats Of Tennessee are, as a mass,
incapable OF such childish peurility. Men
will differ upon points of policy, and upon
questions involving MISUNDERSTANDING
principles if you please-but that would not
justify the degree OF blind hate and malevo-
lencs implied in Mr.. James, statement; it
would not justify even the passing estrange-
ment of friends or neighbors. No country
can be said TO be free where men are even
threatened with ostracism for opinions sake.
Nowhere is this better understood than in
Tennessee.

ANENT the wonderial success Of the Signal
Corps in predicting several days in advance
the very destructive storm which recently
visited the Gulf and the north Atlantic coast,
the New York Herald, 10 which the world 10
greatly indebted for its observations and en-
ergetic encouragement of the study and adj
gancement OF the science OF meteorolOgy, calls
attention TO the fact that DIR. And:ies, OF the
Wilhelmshaven Observatory, has recently re-
yiyed in an American meteorological j1urnal
the theory of cyclones, which refers their
origin and translation 10 the upper atmos-
x&eric currents. This important deduction,
though not original with NJ. Faye, of France.
was forcib'y put forth by the latter scientist
in 1877, who, in presenting DIR. Andries's
views to the Paris Academy of Science on
the l4lh ulIimo, strongly sustains the for
rner,- conclusions. These are, in brief, that
cyelonsy, tonsdoes and trombes are the
same nSechsnical phenomena, differing
only in Dimensions, and that the force 20
which they are iadeb.ed for their propsga-
ton resides in the powerful currents which
hold sway shove the earth. In sustaining
these views NJ. Fave argues from the records
of American storms and tornadoes that, az
