The New York Tribune and other
Republican papers figure it out that
Randall is the coming man for
Speaker of the House. Maybe he is {:
he is not the choice down this way,
but he is level headed man, and
should he be elected it is not likely
that he would betray the Democratic
party or make any serious blunder.
The Senate and President both being
Republican the House cannot do much
toward reform Of the tariff, but it
can hold itself in position and let the
question alone until the Democratic
party comes into full power. Then it
will make lots of difference as to who
is Speaker.

gree for the activity Of the retail trade
and the good stocks that are carried.
Everything is looking up. The mar
ket gardeners are doing a good busi-
ness and fruit raisers while not
making as much money as they
did last year have no reason to be
discouraged. They find ready mar.
ket at fair prices for all the fruit
they bring into the city. The
Irish potato growers who
made such a bonanza last year, are
disgusted this season at the low price,
still they will probably come out
ahead in the course of the year. So
all in all, Memphis is pulling up
splendidly and the people have really
accomplished wonders. The wealth
of the place will certainly be doubled
in less than ten years, if we have only
ordinary prosperity, and the popula,
ton will be not be far from $4,000
when the nextFederal census is taken
We are going fast enough and ought
to be satisfied without trying to get W
any artificial boom.

CHICAGO CHIMES.
A Weighing Association Formed by
the Railroads for Mutual
Protection.
The Tax for the support of Stale
troops Causing Confession
Among Officials and
Military.

CHICAGO, July 7.-Certain of the
east bound roads have been urging for
a year past the organization Of a
weighing association for their own pro,
lection, but the Nickel Plate and the
Chicago and Atlantic roads declined
to Join In any compact until yesterday,
when an arrangement was effected by
which 1t appears to be assured that
such an association will be immedi-
ately formed.
For the past six years tax of one
tenth mill has been levied for the sup.
port OF State troops, netting fund of
$40, 600 yearly for the support of nine
State regiments of infantry, one of
cavalary and three batteries of ar
tillery. The collection of this sum
has been delayed one year in
each instance, and the troops in con.
sequence have had back indebtedness
to meet when the fund was ready for
disbursement, and in addition claim
is made that the amount is not nearly
adequate for the proper maintenance
OF the commands. At the last session
OF the Legislature the military code
was amended so as to give fixed sum
OF $40, 700, payable in advance, in view
OF the fact that the State Auditor on
July lst turned the amount collected
under the tax levy ior the past year
back into the general fund. This
amounted to $4,000, and all State
regiments had incurred indebtedness
to cover this amount, but which the
Auditor refused to pay. The officers
declare that it leaves the troops in a
bad plight and that the action Of the
Auditor is arbitrary aud unauthor,
ized, as the money was levied for mil.
itary use. Proceedings by mandamur
will be instituted to recover the fund

started to Mexico week ago, and has
not been heard from since, at least we
have seen no mention made of its
wanderingS in any State paper or other

Missouri, Kansas and Texas to get to

peka and Santa Fe railroad switched
them off on a trip to the city Of Santa

bition is running in full blast. AS the

THE removal of DR.. D. 7. Boynton.
Pension Agent at Knoxville, at the
instance Of Congressman Houk has
produced a very unpleasant feeling
among the better class Of Republicans
in this State. 1t means kind of boss
rule that free thinking American citi.
zeps do not relish, even il they are
devoted Republicans. There was no
political or public necessity for a
change. Boynton is son in-law Of
the late Governor Brownlow,
is an out and out Republican,
and hes made a good officer. But il
seems that he had the independence
to vote for Rule instead of Houk, and
now the latter has his revenge. Houk
seems to be all powerful with the ad'
ministration, and it is not unreasona'
BILE to suppose that he has promised to
carry the State delegation at the next
National Republican Convention for
Arthur. Given control Of the Federal
patronage of the State he can no doubt
do this. Mr.. Arthur evidently likes
the presidency, and is not likely to
decline nomination if it comes
along. Boynton'Ssu successor is Colonel
Henry Gibson, editor of the Chronicle,
the only Republican daily in the
State, or south of Louisville. Gibson
is, or was, Houk's law partner, so now
the Office is in the family-or the firm
We have nothing to say against
Gibson personally, or Ortherwise, but
the fact is that the better class of Re-
publicans do not like to see gentle
man like Boynton kicked around by a
man of Houk's reputation. The Knox
vile DISTRICT is Republican world with
out end. If there Was no Republican
candidate in the field, and only one
Democrat running, it is doubtful
whether he could be elected in the dis
trict. His vote would be SO light that
be would be ashamed to go to Wash
ingtop. So the change was Pot
made to gain OF strengthen the district.
1t is too strong already.

LABOR TROUBLES.
Critical Situation of Affairs at the
Illinois Mines.
RiotOus Demonstrations by Striking
Miners.

ST. LOUIS, May 25.-The Post-Despatch 8
special from Collinsyille, illinois, says the situ-
alton to-day is more strained than yesterday.
Not mine on the Vandalia railroad, between
East st Louis and Troy, is in operation. All
are closely watched by strikers. Mayor Stew
ems last night ordered all saloons closed at s
O'Clock and swore iu force of fifty deputies.
As drunkenness increased among the miners
eighteen or twenty shots were fired about mid
night. At O'Clock this morning 800 striking
miners assembled near the Abbey mines. They
ascertaiDed that the men who were driven off
yesterday had not returned and they detailed
fifty men to remain to see that no attempt was
made to start up. Some 200 started east on
the railroad track and a picket was left at No.
3. When Collinsville was reached they were
told no attempt at work would be made to-day
They then started for the Confidence and Troy
mines. A conspicuous feature of the process
sion was half dozen men carrying kegs of
beer upon their shoulders. No work was &C.
ing on at the Confidence mine, but the strikers
were suspicious and upwards of 100 stopped
there The beer was tapped and scenes of dis
order eDsued. Superintendent Weizenourg
telegrsphed to Deputy Sheriff Lanheim that
his property was surrounded by a mob aud In
danger and called for assistance. At Belle
vile and Caseyville the miners we're joined by
strong delegation from the mines on the
Ohio and Mississippi road. Those who did not
remain at Confidence pushed on TO Troy. seven
miles from here, and surrounded the Brookside
mine, which is the last one on the Vandaia
track. 1t was in operation yesterday but on
appearance of the mob this morning the men
struck work. Brookside's superintendent also
telegraphed invoking the aid OF the law The
situation is critical, and crisis will be reached

Robbery Of Foreigners in Ecuador.
Great excitement reigns in Guaysquil about

longed to foreigners, who are using every ef-
fort to induce their governments to order the
Italian and English men-of-gar to capture the
Dictator when he leaves and compel him to re-
fund the money. He is expected TO vanish at
the first chance with all his spoil, and once ont
of the country nothing can be wrung from

states that the American whaling bark Hope

and abandoning Chilian sailor on an unin-
habited part of Juan Fernandez Island, has
been detained at Talcahuano by the authoti-
ties, pending a judicial investigation of the
charges.
