A Correction Made In Behalf of
Major X. q. Wall, state Conn
missioner.
Courier-Journal. Is.


Last week the reporter having
heard through DR.. G. Y. Woodward,
OF Mississippi, that the Legislature of
that State had voted $4,000 to be
used for the encouragement of immi
grafton, published the item, and in a
few of hand comments suggested that
in ala of such immigration" Colonel
Wall, the Commissioner could not do
better than expend large per cent of
that amount (or whatever amount he
might have on handy in displaying the
agricultural, lumber, fruit and other
OF her resources at the Southern Elk.
position. Of course the reporter had
no means of knowing how much Of
the $25, 600 (the general fund.- had
been appropriated for specific purpos
es, nor perhaps did DR.. Woodward
think of it. 1t would not have cut no
figure in the matter if we had, for the
reporter might have suggested that
Major Wall should expend S25, 00O, 900
(if he could at our great exhibition,
without laying on the Commissioner
the least responsibility to do &c.
However, as he thinks he has been
injured in his State" by the COM
ments, his letter making the correc
ton is hereto appended. Though it
IS very patent to everybody else that
the Major is over sensitive, he is none
the less entitled to hearing:
JACKSON, Miss, August "a.
DR.. George Y. Woodward:
DEAR SIR-In the Courier Journal
Of the 22d that you sent me | find the
following: THAT the Legislature of
last winter appropriated $25, 900 to be
used by the commissioner, Il. G. Wall,
to influence immigration" etc. That
is calculated to do me an injury. II
you made the suggestion to the editor
Of the Courier J Journal, you will
please correct it. The Legislature of
1882 appropriated, it is true 1000
for two years. With this sum the
board ordered 10000 English hand
books, $1,000 German hand books and
5000 Swedish do. to be printed and
distributed, so you can see after all
this work has been done there is not
much Of $4,000 left, and you will
understand that | cannot spend 81
that is not ordered by the Board.
Therefore, you can see that whoever
suggested to the Courier. Journal that
/ should invest part Of the $25, 900
misunderstood my position. l wish
you to correct this matter at once, for
it has already injured me in this State.
Yours very respectfully.

Druggists Liable to Privilege

The letter below from Comptroller
Pickard, directed to Mr.. John D. De
Graffenried, of Franklin, Tenn, set,
ties the question of the liability Of
druggists engaged in the sale of whis-
ky other than under the prescription
of a practicing physician.

John d. DeGratenried, Clerk of the
County Court Franklin, Tenn:
Dear Sir-In answer to your inquiry
as to whether druggists can sell wits.
KY upon the prescription of physician
or not, | will say that have just had
a consultation with Attorney General
Benjamin j. Lea, and it is his opinion
and | am so directed, that all drug
gists who sell whisky any way are La
BILE for the privilege tax as tipplers,
but they can sell upon the prescrip-
ton OF regular practicing physician
without regard to what is known as the

l will expect the law strictly complied
with In the future. Yours, etc..

The Mechanics and Herr Most.


DEAR SIR: Allow me as reader of your
popular journal to enter my objections, as q
Washington mechanic, to any alliance with
those who style themselves socialists for the
advancement of the laboring interests of this
district. i was not little surprised as well
as disgusted to learn few days ago that a
committee of the Federation of Labor were to
wait upon Herr John Most, after his arrival
in this city, for the purpose of hearing his views
upon the labor problem but happily for all
concerned this arrangement seems to have
missed fire, for majority of the committee,
after preliminary conference, determined
not to see the honorable gentleman nor to
have anything at all TO do with him, knowing
that any association with him would not only
degrade them, but would undoubtedly lower
the dignity OF their organization and might
possibly tend to disruption of tho same.
Now, this action on their part and the senti-
mcnts they expressed, II seems to me, should
bo the voice of every laboring organization
throughout tho United States. The Ameri-
can mechanic cannot be compared to the Eu-
ropean in any manner except in superior abil-
ity and a higher degree of intelligence.
Hence he docs not require or demand such
privileges and so.caled rights as the cast oil
or banished exiles who come to us annually
from the slums of foreign countries The
time has not yet come when the American
mechanic has to take the life of hIs employer
or to dynamiti2e his place of business in order
that he may reap the reward of his inordi-
nate ambitions. Let the Federation of Labor,
and all other kindred orders that desire to
perpetuate their institutions and seek the
true interests of their members, steer clear
of all cxpounders OF sociaistic doctrines and
dynamite expedients. Inscribe this motto on
your banners, "No alliance is ours"
MECHANIC
