Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1883-07-27

TAO ria~9 Ol Ireeun, nno violence De suD5ti-
tuted for peaceful and lawful methods,
snd nothing but defeat can follow. The
movement has up to the present time
been conducted by those at present more di-
rectly aggrieved with decorum, prudence
and selfrespect which has brought from all
quarters the most grateful ex pressions OF sym
pathy and approval, and which gives the
brightest promise of triumphant issus of
the contest they are SO bravely and iustly
wsgiBg. An Overwhelming preponderance
of public sentiment in favor of this move
menf, voiced by the entire newspaper press
OF the c}untry save three or f5ur exceptions,
echoed from nearly every commercial bo1y
from New York to San Francisco, and
meeting response even in the departments
of the government, tells but too plainly of
the mighty power which stands ready TO sup
port it if need be, and gives a warning TO
those who oppose it Hkat they would be wise
to heed. The discovery of mans power to
hold in subj to his will The potentisl
but before dangerous and hidden forces of
electricity, fixed an era In scientific develop
ment more important and phenomenal than
any other in ali It's history, and gave greater
impetus to progress in everything that con-
tributes 20 the well being OF the whole world
OF mankind than any other natural agencies
which science hiss brought under its dominion
and control. This single discovery wrought
a mighty revolution in methods formerly in
use. and no man can vet fix The limit to
which every intelligent mind is convinced it
will reach. 1t is not uu6tting, therefore,
that the artisans who delve and toll in
the vast arcanum of electricity. thos. who
understand and can control ,,s a,ranga
mysterious properties should iuaugurate and
direct a revolution in the physical and po-
Iitical world ss radical and far.rescbino 40
