FREE TRADE.
The Labors OF the Conference Mt 81.
Louis brought 80 a Close.

ST. LOUIS, October 3.-The Free Trade
Conference concluded its labors TODAY.
after a long debate between some MEM
bers who insisted on absolute free trade,
and others favored an attempt to eliminate
protection as the first step. The latter
opinion prevailed. An address to the peo-
pie of the country was adopted, declaring
that protection was a ruinous measure,
and that all possible means should be
taken to abolish it Immediately. Most Of
the gentlemen declared that they were
straight-out free-traders in theory, but
thought it best to strike at protection as a
preliminary step. A literary bureau was
agreed upon, to furnish free trade matter
to the press generally, especially to coun-
try papers. Ex-Gov. John S. Phelps, of
Missouri, presiding officer, stated before
adjournment that the time of the next
conference would be announced hereafter.
After the adjournment of the conference
the Missouri State Free Trade League was
formed, with Ex-Gov. Phelps as presi-

MESSAGE
Out in the stormy nigh

Out in the stormy night
With not n star in sight.
And moaning winds that wander YEARLY,
Rocked in his ieafy nest.
And vexed and sore distressed,
A little lonely bird pipes drear;ly.
And / within my room,
Who knows that morn has come.
In pitying love wOuld say, oh, little bird,
The night would have no chill,
The rain thou wouldst not feel.
Nor moaning wind, if thou couldst heed my word
For close against thy tree,
That seems so dark to thee,
Even now the rising sun has flashed his gold:
And In a moment more
Exultant thou wilt soar,
And cleave the upper skies with pinions bold"
And thou. oh ~fainting heart,
That shrink st when winds ~upstart.
And can st not rest in sorrows bitter night;
If thou eOuldst only hear
Faith S message in thine ear.
And calmly wBit until the morning light!
For morn will surely come.
Even now the shades of gloom
In her soft light are fading fast away.
lis but a moment more,
And, free, thy soul shall soar.
And speed on tireless wing to endless day.

MEMPHIS APPEAL.
THURSDAY, ;: OCTOBER 4, 1883



interview with Mr.. Coleman, one
y besszknown and most useful mem
.,ers of the Shelby County Court, given
in another column, is of interest to,eyery
taxpayer in the county. 1t is devoted
to the question Of a county workhouse
and farm as the only legitimate, feasible
and economical plan for the care of a
class of public plunderers who have
given the county authorities a great deal
of trouble and frequently excited the
humane impulses and indignation of the
public. Mr.. Coleman thinks the plan of
leasing out the county prisoners a failure,
and the public generally agrees with him.
He suggests, therefore, that they should
be put to work on a farm, the property
of the county, and hat when not en-
gagged in the fields should be put to work
ON the public roads. He is
satisfied that in this way they
can Jbe made more than self
supporting and be taught lessons in
sober industry hat may prove valuable
to them after they are released. They
will be safe from anything like bar
barous or brutal ill-treatment, and will
not como in competition with honest and
honorable labor. Mr.. Coleman's expert
ence as chairman for the past sever
years of the County Almshouse Commits
sion enables him to speak in this mat,
ter with almost certainty. 1t is to his
iudicious direction and suggestion the
public owes the economical, almost self
supporting, management of that institu-
ton. He speaks, therefore, as one with
the voice of authority, and we feel SURF
will have the respectful attention Of his
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS next Monday wher
the subject will be brought before the
County Court for its action. The Appeal
believes the public will heartily inderst
Mr.. Coleman's plan and rejoice to see i
initiated by him.

More Greenbaeks.

Comptroller knoN secmsi inclined to the
opinion that there will be a demand fol-
more greenbacks," or for an increase o.
the volume of silver certificates at no very
distant day. The call for Sl5, 900 OF
three per cents, he said, reached bonds tc
the amount of about S%i,500,O00, deposited
by 127 banks to secure circulation. Mos
of these are banks newly organized, al.
though several of the old banks were large
holders of the called bonds. Mr.. Knox
thinks, however, that a comparatively
small proportion of the next $780, 900, 900
OF three per cents subject to the call is
held by the Treasury as security for ma
tiOnal bank note circulation. re said he
had been surprised to find the national
banks holding on to three per cents.
which have been relatively higher in the
market than the four per cents, when
they might have sold out and invested III
the latter securities with almost a Ger
tainty OF realizing an advance of four OF
five per cent. in premium, and at the same
time have avoided the danger of a con.
traction of their circulation.

The Department of Agriculture has just
issued an important report upon Texas
cattle fever as affecting and likely to affect
the entire South. The report presents
some facts not heretofore recognized re-
garding the extent of the disease, and
places the matter in a very grave light.
DR.. Salmon, who has been making this
subject a careful study for some time past,
finds that the disease. which originated in
Texas, seems to have extended itself over
other sections OF the South. The disease,
which he proposes to call the Southern
cattle fever, is shownto have invaded Nir-
ginia within a comparatively recent period
and to lave advanced over so much terri
tory as to seriously affect the interests of
that State. 1t has long been known that
cattle taken from any of the Northern
States to some parts OF the Southern States
contract a disease which is very fatal to all
but young animals, and it has generally
been supposed that this was due to the
increased temperature to which these i'm
ported cattle were necessarily subjected.
DR.. Salmon shows hat this is really the
Texas or Southern fever of cattle,
and that animals moved but a few miles,
il they are brought from just beyond
the border line of the infected district, are
subject to it and are affected with Just as
fatal results as those from the Northern
States. He also furnishes facts which
demonstrate that the native cattle from
parts of Virginia where the imported ami
mails are known to die, if taken beyond
these districts, distribute the same fatal
infection as has long been known to be
carried by those from Texas and the gulf
coast. These facts, it is maintained, aIc
exactly the same as those from which the
conclusion was reached that Texas and
the gulf coast were infected with a fatal
communicable fever; and that, conse-
quently, there is no more reason to doubt
the permanent infection of a part of Viz
ginia than there is to doubt the similar
infection of those regions in which this
disease has been universally admitted to
exist. Indeed, the extensions of the rail-
road system in every direction, and the
greatly increased facilities now offered for
the shipment of cattle, make it necessary
to take precautions everywhere to guard
against the disease. The report of DR..
Salmon shows very clearly that the infec-
ton of Texas fever is advancing over new
territory, and that many square miles have
been overrun where the winters are quite
severe, and where snow and ice are by no
means uncommon. Heretofore it has been
supposed that this degree of cold would
infallibly destroy the contagion and prove
an insurmountable barrier toward its be-
coming permanent i'll the more important
cattle-raising sections of the country.

FROM MEMPHIS TO KANSAS CITY

Is no longer a far distance. 1t was made
near yesterday by the completion of the
railroad, the formal opening of which
the people of both cities and the towns
intervening will celebrate in true repub-
lican style from the I'D instant to any
day that they themselves may determine.
Memphis is to throw open its doors dur
ing that time, and all who are invited are
to enjoy whatever there is of amusement
and hotels, free. The Theater will be
theirs, the race-track and the club -rooms
and all classes of the people are to vie
in the extension of a warm and generous
private hospitality. In a word, every
form of welcome is to be extended t
the people with whom, after years Ofhop'
and much of blowing" we are here
after to be most intimately connected
in trade and commerce. To accomplish
all this will necessitate more than tn
$4,000 suggested by the committee, an

yesterday was the largest of any previous
day in its history. The admissions of the
day and evening were $1,000, and the
crowd last night was SO great that the
building was packed to its utmost capac-
ity. Had the contiagration occurred last
night at 8 o'clock, considering the rapidly
with which the flames spread, the loss OF
life would have been appalling, as it would
have been almost impossible for even a
part OF the crowd to escape. The build
ings which were destroyed were erected
in 1875. The main building was 600 feet
long and $50 wide. Themachinery hall was
400 feet long and $50 feet wide. The other
buildings were small.

about a change hat is to take place in the

would soon be a vacancy in the Office OF

The Garfield Monument.

Gen. Swain says there is no truth in the
reportthat the project of erecting a monu-
ment to Garfield in Washington under the
auspices of the Association of the Army of
the Cumberland has been abandoned and
the funds collected for that purpose used
in erecting a monument in Cleveland in
stead. The statement probably arose from
the fact that a monument to Garfield is TO
be placed in Lake View Cemetery, near
Cleveland, III addition to the one to be
erected in WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, October 3.-There is still
much doubt whether the legal-tender case
will be argued in the United States SUI
preme Court when it is reached Tuesday
next. No bills in the case have yet been
filed in the clerks office, as the rules OF

heard from counsel in reply to the usual
notification. 1t is probable, therefore,
that when the case is reached counsel will
move il he assigned for some future day
which may be agreed upon. The delay in
bringing this question to adjudication
seems to have been due in q great part to
the unwillingness or inability of Gov.
Butler to fix a day for argument. Senator
Edmunds made several attempts last term
to have the case definitely assigned, but
he was unable to make an agreement with
counsel on the other side as to the date of
assignment and the court was not willing
to arbitrarily affix a day and compel at

Treasury CIa-k in Business.

named j. b. Hartford, for lending money
at ~cxorbitant rates ~ofinterest to watchmen

1t is alleged that Hartford is connected
with a loan and trust company, which has
an Office on New York avenue, near Fiji
teenth street. Some of the victims re-
fused to pay the usurious interest and
their names were sent to the chief clerk OF
the department, to whom they were rep
resented as refusing to pay their honest
debts. The matter was laid before the
Secretary, who referred it to Treasurer Wy
man for investigation and report. He still
has the subject under consideration and it
was said at the department yesterday that
if the charges were substantiated Hert-
lord would be p%eremptoriIv Dismissed.
