ALL the p~ool-rooms of Nashville nave been
closed by the authorities, except one, which
is working under a charter from the State.
When the bill to make gambling a felony
was pending, the FLOODED" horsemen rallied
to the lobby and secured for themselves i'm
munity from the operations of the law, and
with this provision the bill passed and is now
in force. Blu the average Tennessean is at a
loss to understand why the heightened horse
men can run pool-rooms in the interest of
their races, while pool-selling upon a foot
race is made a penitentiary offense.

New York Special to Philadelphia Press.
The Hendricks interview has aroused some
interest among the Democracy in this city.
Mr.. Tilden's friends have lost no time in dis
arranging the old ticket plans of the Hoosier
statesmen by the announcement that in no
case can Mr.. Tilden be a candidate. 1t is q
fact beyond contradiction that Mr.. Tilden Is
entirely out of the race. There can be no
circumstance, no combination which, his
warmest friends declare, will change his pur-
pose.
This positive announcement, coming as it
does SO searly after Mr.. Hendricks relented,
is most pointed. The dog may have wanted
to wag the tail in 1880, but in no case can the
tail wag the dog in 1884. That is Mr.. Tilden's
ultimatum, and his name will never more be
connected with that of Mr., Hendricks. Such
a connection was not very pleasant for either
party,
Mr.. Hendricks thought Mr.. Tilden ought
to have been the vice-presidential candidate
in 1880. When the candidates met at Sara
toga to compare their letters of acceptance
MI. Tilden's good nature was shocked and all
his bachelor instincts aroused by the
gossips about the hotel, who reported
Mrs. Hendricks as saying that Tilden's
money had bought a place which her hus-
bands abilities had earned. The two gentle-
men met in the most formal way, and they
have not seen each other since.
1t is believed that Mr.. Ti4en's friends, who
are powerful especially in the West and
South, have agreed to put forward Mr., Nc
Donald for the race next year, and it looks
on the surface as if such were the case. Mr..
Mcdonald is undoubtedly one of the ablest
Democrats in the land. His nomination
would in 1880 possibly have pleased Mr..
Tilden, and the present circumstances have
emphasized the desire of the latter's friends
to give Mr.. Hendricks a gentle rebuke.
1t is a long time before the Democratic
convention meets, and many things may hap
pen, but unless all purely political signs
fail, the Tilden contingent will be forced
into opposing Mr.. Hendricks's old ticket by
supporting the new Indiana candidate.
LET bygones be bygones' will be the
party cry, and if Mr.. Hendricks objects to
hearing the knell which dooms his political
hopes he can recant his recantation about
the insigniicance of tails to presidential
tickets and turn in for his staunch friend Of
1880, Joseph E. Mcdonald.

A WHITE Georgia woman enters into volun-

her shame is exposed her father promptly
shoots the negro, and the coroner's jury re-

The New York Court of Appeals has de-
oided that a marriage contracted in another
State by a divorced defendant prohibited
from marrying in New York is legal. The
same court has declared that the same per-
son marrying in New York is guilty of biga-
my. This is undoubtedly the only conclu-
sion that could be arrived at, but it presents
an apparent paradox that is slightly perplex-
ing to the unsophisticated.

CORRECTED and revised reports of some OF
the miraculous faith cures are beginning to
come in, and are discouraging to devout be-
levers in that school of medicine. Larry
Ryan, a paralytic cripple, of Erie, Pa, whose
alleged cure some weeks ago caused a great
sensation, died, oil Tuesday, in the aims
house at that place. Before his death he
confessed that the story Of having stretched
forth his withered hand in the name of the
Deity and its instantaneous cure was entirely
false. No such miracle occurred, and the
tale was furnished to the papers by a priest
during a temporary improvement in the
afflicted man's condition. The priest in
question finds it convenient to be absent
from his parish for a season.

THE decree granting Major Nickerson a di-
voree from his first wife has been set aside
as fraudulent. While it leaves the Ma
jor with two families upon his hands,
with the law commanding him to give up
the one of his choice and return to the one
he would desert, the hardship is a deserved
punishment to him and a much needed re-
buke to the frequent indecent practice in
procuring enforcement. In this case the
most shameless methods were employed in
putting away the lawful wife, she being sent
to Europe, as she had every reason to be-
lieve on a our for health and pleasure, and
during her absence her husband trumped up
the divorce case, put it through the courts
and was remarked before her return. If
Major Nickerson is not drunmed out of the
army, the conduct unbecoming an officer
and gentleman clause should be stricken
from the regulations for very shame.

THE decision of Judge Freeman, of NeY
York, in accordance as it is with that of
Judge Tuley, of Chicago, will go far toward
settling the legal aspect of masses for the de-
ceased, however much they may conflict with
ones idea of a mans right TO dispose of his
property as he may see Ht. 1t is to be regret
ted that any religious tenet should come into
conflict with the statutes, but the case is not
unprecedented, as may be proved by the re-
Election that many orthodox beliefs of by
gone times would not be tolerated now by
the people nor encouraged by law. The two
decisions above noted are based on the
ground that a bequest for the celebration
of masses lis not a legal one
for the reason that there is no beneficiary

THE following from the New Orleans Plea
yune must be given the greatest prominence.
1t is a gem of the purest ray serene. 1t will
come like a poultice to the sore toe (if we do
not mix metaphors which has received
many rebuffs during the past few days:
"Mr. Hendricks would scarcely have made
this announcement without mature con-
sideration. He has made it, we may be sure,
after a careful estimate of the forces behind
him, and probably after consultation with
other able and influential Democratic lead
ers. His attitude is one of graceful compli-
ance with a popular demand, and the cir
cumstances of the case allow him to author
ize the use of his name with an air of sur
rendering rather than of forwarding his
own personal ambition. Mr.. Tilden could
not have declared himself thus early with
out furnishing occasion for invidious criti-
cism."

ANOTHER case similar to the Thompson
Davis tragedy has developed, this time at
Hopewell, N. c. A young man named
Shields shot and killed a man named Sitton
because the latter had seduced his (Shields's)
sister, and refused to marry her. AS in the
murder at Harrodsburg, the accused woman
denies the charge, and fully exonerates the
man assassinated. A little hanging would
restrain these elfyeonstituted judges and ex-
ecutioners. 1t begins to appear that the
naughty Southron is a little too quick to
suspect the virtue of his wife and sisters, and
to take the word of any miscreant who is
mean enough to SANDER them.

With all due respect, doesen't it seem about
time for that so-called party to dissolve and
resolve itself back into its original elements2
There may have been a time when there was
an excuse for its existence, but 1t is difficult
to imagine one now. For any good purpose,
the Republican party is capacious enough to
take in and accommodate all right-thinking
people. For the opposite, the Democratic
party, like the temple of Janus of old, is al
ways open. The third party is as much out
of date and useless as a last years almanac.

Summary of the Democratic Platform

st. Louis Globe-Democrat
The Democratic party comes to the front
again this year in its old character of a party
of negations. Its platform in Ohio and
elsewhere may be summed up in these words:
Resolved, That We are opposed TO everything,
Including the Ten Commandments, and to every
body, including the Apostles.

MONOPOLY OF AMERICAN LANDS.

No thoughtful American can seriously
contemplate the trend of American invest
ments toward the purchase of large tracts
of land by wealthy individuals or corpora
tons without dire forebodings, Practically,
at the present, the public domain Is closed to
the cultivator of the soil. The land is hardly
on the market before it is gobbled up by a
few rich men. individually. or by large
moneyed corporations, the very least objec-
tionable of which are the railroads that open
and hasten to sell them to actual settlers,
In some cases these lands are taken in large
bodies, as in California and along the line of
the Northern Pacific, and in other cases in
detached sections and quarter sections. OF
these two methods the former is the least OBJ,
jectionable, for they proceed at once to I'M
prove and cultivate their baronial
manses, and though the employees" who
do the manual labor are but a
shade removed from serfs, the lands
are msde productive and thus add some
thing TO the aggregate wealth of the world,
even though it be at the loss OF thousands of
homes that these thousands of laboring men
might enjoy, but for this appropriation of
Gods heritage and Gods rains and dews and
this monopolizing of large tracts of land by
Dur own people should awaken the country
to a threatened danger, what shall we say
of the ~monopolizing of millions of acres by
foreigners? 1t is now given out by reliable
authority that a British syndicate has just
purchased 300, 900 acres of land in Texas.
Only a short time ago a Mr.. Whalley, NJ. P,
bought for a company that he represents
81, 600 acres in the same State, and other
British companies have bought tracts in the
same State ranging from 5000 to
So 900 and 100, 900 acres. 1t is no
secret that through ex-senator Gordon an
English syndicate has bought 1, 800, 900 acres
in the Mississippi bottom. between Memphis
and Yazoo. A Mr.. Diston bought 1000, 900
acres in Florida, and subsequently, sold
9, 000, 900 to a London syndicate. Lord Dun
raven owns thousands of acres in Colorado,
and other English capitalists own millions of
acres scattered over the West and South.
All of this is complimentary to our country,
but is it wise to be planting the seed of alb
senteeism in America which lies at the bot
tom of Ireland's present troubles? The po-
litical influence of such landlords cannot be
despised. This land question demands the
most thoughtful attention of American
statesmen, and it cannot be begun one day
too soon, not only as to European monopo-
lists but no less as to American syndicates
or individuals. The earth belongs to the
if we are to have an independent yeomanry.

The Democratic party seems to be the only
one that is indulging in much talk about
presidential candidates now. Several booms
have already been started for members of

making a choice. Not only a few of the
leaders, but the whole party will be severely
tested there. Judging the future by the
past, the result is readily told.
