CASEY YOUNG,
The Peoples Choice as Representative
of the Tenth Congressional District.

To the Editors of the Appeal:
SoMERvILLE, Tenn, August 22.-It ia
with pleasure we note in your Sundays issue
the two requests from citizens of Harde-
man county, calling upon the Hon. Casey
Young 10 once more come forward as
their representative in Congress. Fayet,e
would not be laggard in expressing her
wishes, but echo the voice of her neighbor,
and join the call for Colonel Young. In no
portion of the district are his friends more
numerous or faithful, and should he once
more allow his name to come before the peo-
pie, Fayette will be solid. "Uncertain,"
as you say, sis the complexion of this
district, neither party can be sauguine
as to the result" but with Colonel
Young as our leader, the chances of
victory would be greatly increased. While
a member OF Congress no man from the
South commanded greater respect than did
Colonel Young. Wide awake, deep-thinking
and patriotic, his speeches and acts through
out his public career challenged the admira-
ton of his opponents and won for him the
just plaudits of a grateful constituency.
Now more than ever do we need the services
of this distinguished statesman. Demo-
cratic, as the next House will be, Colonel
Young would at once take high position in
that assembly. His return to Congress would
regain for this district the enviable character
which he had made for it, and which was lost
BY his retirement. FAYErrE.

Concerning Lager Beer.
From a New York Letter.

Does it pay to drink lager? Let this
question be answered by the fact that the
deceased brewer, Joseph Doelger, who came
hither a poor emigrant, left million. There
are nearly eighty rich brewers in this city,
the leading speciality being lager. The con-
sumption of the lager is now greater than
ever, and yet it Is one of the worst of all
hot weather beverages. This is due to the
fact that ingredients are used 10 increase
thirst, and hence lager drinker never has
enough. The more he drinks the greater his
thirst. In this manner the drinkers pocket
Is emptied, while the brewer becomes capi-
talist. There are topers here who viii t'rink

gallons, OF lager in one day, and even then

center of the length of the canal is occupied

which is the grand central point of strategy
OF both the coDtending armies; canal OF
fresh water also extends from Ismailia to
Zsgazig, which is also an important point in
the campaign. The English army, il is ex

from Ismsilia to Cairo is ninety nine miles

THE BLUNDERs OF PRorkCrIOHIsTs

THE BLUNDERs OF PROTECrIONIsTs
If sensible reason for protection could be
urged such paper as the New York Tribune

place of reasons. Protesting to reply to
theorists" the Tribune says that if this
country we're to go to Europe for goods it
now makes the price would rise there and
we should obtain no advantage. II says:
Take steel rails tor example-and il Is the bet

removed "at one fell swoop," but no intelli-
gent free-trader proposes to reduce protec-

commerce might be exposed to no shock. In

Curious Facts About the MormOns.
Salt Lake City Correspondence st. Louis Globe
DemOcraf

Democrat.
1t will sound strangely in the ears of the
people in "the States" and yet it is an actual
fact, that there is not a common or free
school in the Territory. In the city
of Salt Lake and at other points there
are schools where pupils of all denomina-
tions are admitted, but small tuition fee is
charged. The teachers are all Mormon, and
the exercises every day begin and end with
reading from the Book of Mormons. The
Gentiles, / need hardly say, do not care to
send their children to these dens OF fanati-
cism, and latterly they have established
few schools of their own, but they are all
sectarian-the Catholics have one, the Epis-
copalians another, the Methodists another,
aud so on. Ii it be true that common
schools are essential TO republi-
can form of government; then Utah
has not republican form OF government,
and it is about the only Territory which has
not, and the want Of common schools is by
no means the only evidence Of this fact.
What is called the perpetual immigration
fund" is one of the chief agencies in keeping
up and increasing the numerical strength OF
the church. Ii is estimated that 5000 people
are brought from Europe every year through
this instrume N; atty. There are agencies of
the fund in New York, Liverpool, and the
principal cities of Denmark, Sweden, and
other countries likely to furnish recruits

THE STATE CANVASS.
The Feeling General Throughout the
State that Bate Will be Elected by
at Least 10000 Majority,
And Democratic Legislature that Will
Reflect Harris to the Seat that
He Alone Can Fill.

The State canvass begins to wax warm.
Many of the great gune" have been heard
from, and the enthusiasm on the Democratic
eide is growing every day, az result of the
effective work of the party papers and the
speeches of Senator Harris, General Bate,
Ex- Governor Marks and others. Senator
Harris has after his own fashion-clear,
concise and honest-siven the real key to
the canvass, and, following it up, will seal
the now general verdict that Bate will be
elected by 10000 majority, and Legislature
10 which there will be eighty Democrats 10
ffty-two Republicans, perhaps ninety-three
Democrats TO thirty nine Republicans. These
latter figures depend upon Shelby and Da-
wilson being carried by the party, which is
possible if effective and sensible work is
DONE The Democracy of the other States
are anxious concerning our success. They
say that if we permit the Fusseliers and
independents" to demorslize and weaken
the party TO the extent of the loss of the
State after the manner of Virginia, the ma
tional contest will be q hopeless one in 1884.
The unity and integrity of the Democracy of
the Southern States is essential to national
success, and all minor differences, such as the
State-debt settlement should be set aside for
the greater involved in Democratic success.
Bate must be and will be elected, and with
him Legislature that will re-elect Harris
to the seat which ne other man in the State,
or indeed in the South, can fill. With this
result we can join the Democrats of the
other States in 1854 in a successful effort to
elect president.

of the stock it would be great purchase
and they had better slip in and take some

very shrewdly went the other way. which.

and made very large sales at high prices"

been at the expense of the people. The En-
dminsr says shat some years when the gross
receipts of their business were as high as
Sl7,OO0,OoO to $ls,Ooo,0O0, the net profits
were from fifty to 6fty-four per cent. That
lie, from S., SOC, 900 to So, 72o, 900 year. Not
one year out of five have these net profits,
or, as they are pleased to call them, net re-
ceipts, fallen to less than Fifty per cent.
When great railroads like the New York
Central, the Baltimore and Ohio, and the
Pennsylvania realize thirty per cent. net
receipts on gross earnings they are fully sat-
isied; and not many of the leading railroads
of the Western States do better than twenty
Eve per cent. 1t appears from this that the
RAILROAD system of California has been as good
as robbing the public to the extent of $780,
900 TO S3,O00,000 year by its extortionAte
charges. This Is where the loss side of
the account comes in. The producing classes,
the business, the farming, the mercantile in
terests, are the losers. The profits all enter
into the railroad treasury, the losses all come
out of the pockets OF the people. No State
can bear such a constant and enormous
drain upon its resources. 1t is idle to talk OF
"our prosperity" as long as the drain con-
tinues. We are not prospecting as we should.
