The City to Be Handsomely De-
corated. A Chat With Mr.. r.
N. Anderson, Chairman
Of the Committee on
Decorations.

A Representative of the SOUTH

busily engaged in making prepare
tons for the decoration Of the city,

Questions were propounded to him;
viz:

ing upon the citizens and they have
agreed, almost without an exception,
TO decorate the houses on Main street
and the other principle streets.
R-What will be used to decorate
with?
Mr.. A.-Flags, streamers and BAN
ners will be generally used and many
of the merchants who will take per-
sonal pride in the matter will adorn
their stores with displays OF ever
greens and flowers.
R.-Where will the flags be pro-
cured
Mr.. Al have made arrangements
to order them by wholesale and fur
nish them TO the citizons at actual
cost including discount of 30 per
cent, which has been offered me. This
will make them cost mere song.
irwin the decorations be made
under the supervision of your COM
mittee?
Mr.. Ayes; we will attend to the
work OF decorating, only asking the
citizens to pay for flags.
R.-Will the Lodge-roOm be deco
rated more deliberately than the rest
of the houses?
Mr.. Ayes; the decoration Of our
headquarters will be the grandest eff
fort this city has ever witnessed.
Across the street in front Of the LOlg
room will be mammoth arch. On
each side will be two posts surmount-
ed with battlc-aXes. From the tops
of the inner posts will be raised two
spears crossed in the middle, and in
the triangle formed will be suspend
cd a great triangle with "F. c. b.
upon the corners. Underneath this
will be streamer with tho word,
"Wclcome." The posts on each sidp
will he dec grated in the most gorge
Gus and arti site manner, aud the arch
way will be thirty-live feet high.
TIL YOU, it will be perfectly grand.
| AS Mr.. Anderson seemed to be in q
hurry, we did not detain him longer.
lie is throwing his whole soul into
the work assigned him and the matter
could not have been placed IN better
hands.

THE OLD, OLD STORY!
John Payne Killed-An Unload
cd q Gun-A Deplorable
Accident.

Messrs. Forbes & Bro. have had a
lot of hands for several days build
ing a house for Mr.. Elijah Ladd, near
Cerulean Springs, Trigg county.
Last Sunday morning Dick Train
um, Watt Shavers, w. E. Davis and
John Payne, COL, were together at
Ladd's and secured target gun, and
were amusing themselves by shoot
ing at nickel put up against tree.
Trainum and Payne shot and then
one of the others took the gun but
was called away before he shot, and
after loading the gun laid it across a
wagon until he returned. None of
the men noticed that the gun had
been loaded. Shortly afterwards
Mr.. Trainum picked up the gun and
asked if it was loaded. He was an
swered in the negative. Seeing
Payne a few steps off dancing, he
playfully raised the gun and point
ing it at him pulled the trigger. To
his horror, Payne fell dead, shot
through the brain. Mr.. Uranium
came with the remains to the city in
the afternoon and went with them
to the dead mans late home. lie is
very much grieved over the unfortu'
nate termination to bit of playful
ness, as he had worked for eight
wears with Payne and their relations
had always been of the most AMIGA
BILE nature. Mr.. Trainum is maj
well advanced in years and has
family in this city. Payne was
about 45 years old and leaves wifi
and several children. An inqucs
was held prior 10 the removal of th'
body from Ladd's place, and the fol
lowing verdict returned:
1--WE, the jury, find that the deaf
body before us is that ofJohn Payne
col, of Christian county, KY, wh'
came to his death by an accidental
shot from target gun in the hand

The tide of immigration setting to-
ward our shores is subject to fluctuations,
but there exists no reason to anticipate
that during the life of the present gener
alton it will fail to reach the average
height of the past ten years immigration,
therefore, continues to be one ofthe great
economic questions Of this country, and
it involves a political problem of the
highest Importance, that of naturaliZation
That our naturalization laws are defective
in many respects is notorious, and the de-
mand for their revision will no doubt ac-
quire added force from the publication of
an article by Justice William Strong upon
that subject in the North american Re

Washington, Aprd 18th.
The proceedings of Congress dur
ing the week have been unusually
interesting. The House first defeated
the Converse wool bill, and then de
clded almost unanimously in .avor of
retaining the whisky tax. 1t next
voted against the bill giving lands in
severalty to the Indians, and passed
a bill requiring Governors of Terri
tories to reside therein for two years
before election to office. But little
progress was made on it, however it
called forth the Indignation of Repre-
sentative Thompson, who character
lied it as a combination for public
plumber, which every member in
charge of one of these bills was in
terested to sustain in order to pass
his own measure. 1t cannot be &C.
MED that Congressional antagonists
became courteous and conciliatory
when appropriations for the erection
,of United States Court Houses, Gus
tom houses, and post-oflices were
pending. Each thought his owl

A DISMAL OUTLOOK.

1t is becoming more evident every |
day that if Edmunds is nominated |
for president, it will be done only af-
ter q hard struggle of the people
against the political schemers. No
man before the people to-day is so
strongly opposed by the demagogues
as Mr.. Edmunds and there has never
been q time when these men had
stronger hold on the republican par
ty than at present. Even in Yer
mont, which is supposed to be for
Edmunds to a man, he has very little
hearty support from those who con-
troll the expression of public opinion.
All of the state political leaders are
nominally in favor of Mr.. Edmunds
for president, but not because of his
ability or worth. They will work
for him for two reasons. One is
that they dare not stand directly OPP
posed TO the strong hope of the mass
es and the other, which is far more
important, is to further their own in
terests. They want to get the sena-
tor out of the way to give them more
room and better chance to carry
out their own political schemes.
There is far more genuine support
of Mr.. Edmunds among the indie
pendent republican leaders of Mas
sachusetts than from the men who
have acquired control of Green
Mountain politics.
The same class Of politicians III
other states are still more hostile to
Edmunds and are not so diffident
about expressing their real opinions.
SO that the forces that will be brought
out at Chicago to defeat him will be
nearly as strong as the faction, which
came so near effecting the nomina
ton of Gen. Grant four years ago
They have no Conkling for a leade
to be sure. but Blame still lives, 10
Gan is on deck and President Arthur
it may with reason be assumed, l
not idle. Garfield was nomlnate'
and elected, but only after a bite
fight on the part Of people hostile t
cliques and jobs. And it must b
remembered that Garfield was pop
ular man while Mr.. Edmunds Is nc
and never can be.
On the whole the outlook is rattle
dismal. although if the real need
the country be considered at Chlci
90, he will be the next repubIica
candidate and the best president wit
one exception that that party b;
ever Droduced.-C dledOnidn.
