CERTAIN district conferences in Penn
sylvania of both parties are taving an
exhausting time settling disputed nomi
nations. They always come at this time
and there is no help for them under the
present system of appointing conferees
from the different counties in the dis
trict. 1t is the practice to permit the
candidate of tho county to select its con
ferees and consequently when they meet
they are at the disposal of the respective
candidates to be held, traded and sold
for his benefit. 1t is needless to say
that there is no propriety in the De-
mocracy of any county putting itself
into the pocket of any man to he used
for his profit. Until the idea is aban-
doned that any man has claims
upon bis party instead Of the party
having a claim upon him, we will
continue 10 see these discreditab bic
personal contests over nominations. The
truth is that as soon as any man under
takes to demand a nomination from his
party just then it is demonstrated that
he should not have it. No conference
should take twenty-four hours to select
a candidate. If the conferees cannot in
that time discover q man in the district

If the, conferees were appointed in the
Interest of the party and not of men,
they would speedily and properly do their
business. But it is seemingly imros.
sible to keep the candidates from owning
the men theoretically appointed to make
the nominations suitable for the party.
The conferee system should be abolished
and some other method be tried. A dis
trict convention would do better, made
large enough to prevent it from being SO
easily manipulated in selfish interests as
conferees habitually are. u ''''.,'''f'

Miss PREscorr, an actress, has just Oh
tained heavy damages from the Ameri-
can News company at the hands of a
New York jury, for the publication Of a
very gross libel upon her in a newspaper
which was circulated by the News com
pany. The notable thing about the vcr-
dict is that neither the author Of the
libel nor the newspaper which printed
it were held to their responsibility, but
the damage was laid upon party
who circulated it. There seems to be
no doubt that tha News company was
legally responsible tie liability would
appear to be a great drawback upon the
business of circulating newspapers in
these days when the license of tho press
is SO great. It is remarkable that the
libel law is 50 little invoked as it is. Few
persons who suffer at the hands of a
newspaper undertake to obtain redress
in the law courts and those who do.
seldom take much Of their effort. Per.
hcps now that it has bean demonstrated
that a rich News company may be made
to pay what it has been so difficult to
collect from poor newspaper, actions
for libel may be more popular. In this
case the iibeller and the newspaper that
was the vehicle OF his motive were both
too contemplate to be held to account
ability. The American News company
however, enjoys a profitable business
built up at the expense of the newspaper
it circulates, and it can well afford oc
casionally to pay heavily for the offense:
OF its clients. It might be good idea
to require all newspapers to be endorsed
in this way by strong financial COM
pany that may be held responsible fo,
their misconduct. We are convinced
that it would he to the advantage OF
both the public and the newspapers
If some means could be adopted of put

A Useful Rivalry.

a GScIQl hlvSlfys
Mr.. Robert II. Sayre has resigned the
positioa of Superintendent Of the Lehigh
Valley railroad company. with intent, it
is said, to assume the presidency of the
South Pennsylvania railroad, a new and
formidable rival to tho Pennsylvania
railroad, which will shortly be built be-
tween Harrisburg and Pittsburgh, and
by its connection with the Reading on
the east and the Vanderbilt roads on the
west, form q new trunk line to the Mis-
sissippi. Vanderbilt constitutes the
financial basis Of the project, which will
undoubtedly be executed. 1t has very
aattering prospect of successful rivalry
with its great neighbor when it gets
on its feet. With smaller capital
and better gradients and with as product
i've an agricultural and mineral
country to draw upon for its revenue, it
ought to be sure of large dividends. The
public will profit by the rivalry of the
roads, and probably there is business
enough to keep both prosperous under
their composition. There is little dOubt
that if the Pennsylvania railroad had
properly developed the resources of the
country along its main line in Pennsyl-
vania instead of seeking Improbable
business from all over the country, it
would be in much stronger condition
to-day, from the great increase Of its
local business. Even with the neglect
which this has experienced at the
hands of the company, =, it has
grown 30 as to he the mainstay
of the railroad. A more liberal
policy animates the direction of the
road now than formerly, and it is per-
haps @ ready to respond to local de-
mands as its foolishlymade entangle
ments in far away places make at
present possible. 1t has more Of the
sympathy of the public than it used to
have, but, nevertheless, its rival will be
welcomed for the certainty the rivalry
will bring of the good behavior of
the railroad management to the people,
whose favor they need to conciliate.
There is nothing like necessity for max
ing railroad and other potentates de =
cent in their behavior. When they can,
they kick but when they can't help it,
they submit to be kicked with marvel,
lous graciousness.

"A NaSnVlllo OlSpaLCn says: lGe most
intense excitement prevails on account of
tie terrible tragedy at Knoxville. Express
ions of profound regret are heard on every
hand at the death OF Major O'Conner,
who was universally beloved among all
classes. Major o. O'Conner's home is in Knox
vile, is located near Fort Saunders and is
said to be the most beautiful place in the
South. All that money could buy or in
genulty suggest was used in identifying
tho grounds, while the building was

Major O'Conner's visit to Nashville few
days ago he stated to some friends
that he decided to 60 to Knoxville
for he expected to have to kill the
Mabrys or that they would kill him.
Major OConner was forty eight years of
ago and was born in Virginia, where he
resided with his parents until the death Of
his father, lie then being only eighteen
years of age. He left his native state,
came to Tennessee and settled in Knox
vile, where Re entered into tho saddle
and harness business, working himself on
tho bench. He continued in this business
until the breaking out Of the war, when
he eSpoused the cause of tho South, and
entered Captain kain's artillery company as
first lieutenant. The battery was stationed
during the greater part of the war at Cum.
berlaud Gap, where Major O'Conner was
made prisoner of war. At the close of
the war he moved to Atlanta and again
took up his old trade. In this he continu
ed until he had accumulated some money,
when he returned to Knoxville and opened
up a wholesale harness and leather cstab-
lishment. In 1871 Re remor I'd to Nash.
