"Queen's Lace Handkerchief

Monday night the New York Opera
Company will give the Queens Lace Hdnd-
kerchief, OF which the Harrisburg (Pa.)
Patriot says: ''The Queens Lace Hand
kerchief at the operahouse last night. Mr.
Patterson has good reason to feel proud of
the success won by his opera company
last night, in Johann Strauss's new opera
Of Queens Lice Handkerchief. The audi
encc was OF good size, and also of good
quality. That it enjoyed the opera heart
lily no better evidence is needed than the
fact that more than one-half the number
were encored and repeated. Mr.. Patterson
has kept his word to the letter. He
brought one OF the largest companies that
has ever appeared here. The principals
were good artists, and the chorus made up
OF well-trained voices which did effective
service" Sale of seats to-day.

THE members of Congress, not only
from Tennessee, but all of the States OF
the South, will consult the interests OF
those of their constituents who are en-
gagged in trade or commerce, by giving
personal attention to the Lowell bank
ruptcy bill recently reported, and favora
bly,, back to the Senate and the House by
both judiciary committees. No measure
of legislation now before the national leg
islature is more pressing than this, ii we
except the Morrison tariff revision bill.
Ever since the act of 1867 was repealed
the great commercial centers of the coun-
try have been clamorous for measure
fuller, fairer and juster in its terms and
scope, that would give business men all
the advantages of a uniform system OF
bankruptcy, without the trouble, expense
and drawbacks of that act, by which
the creditor generally lost so heav-
lily in expenses as to be deferred
from repetition of a suit if COM
pr omise on any reasonable terms could
be reached. The South especially
feels the necessity for national bankrupt
act, as has been testified to by the leading
newspapers OF this section and the action
OF the leading, commercial bodies. The
Memphis Cotton Exchange some months
ago eagerly and earnestly indorsed the
Lowell bill, which, since its revision, is
undoubtedly one of the most carefully
drawn bills ever presented for the consid-
Grafton of Congress. The best legal talent
of Boston and New York and the highest
mercantile ability and experience of the
country have been called to scrutinize its
every section and compare them with the
act OF 1867 and the existing English act,
with results in the highest degree satisfac-
tory. Judge Lowell has embodied the
ripe experience of the English-speaking
people in the laws of debtor and creditor,
and men of all sections feel sure that
in the strength OF its sections they
could trade and traffic with sense
of security now denied them by exist
act is pressing necessity of the times. 1t
is more urgent, if possible, than the act
proposed by Representative Reagan to reg
ulate interstate commerce. This bill of
Lowell's, with the Endorsement, as we
have said, of the Judiciary Committee of
both houses, ought to pass this session.
To accomplish this it is only necessary for
members of Congress to take hold of it
with will and push it through. Debate
upon it is not likely to be, and need not
necessarily be, either prolonged or tedious.
A comparison of it with the act of 1857,
and the existing English act, will be suf-
feient to make its merits plain, and its
necessity being already admitted on all
hands, there is not much room for debate.
We ask the members of Congress from
this State, from Alabama, Mississippi and
Arkansas, especially, to make the espousal
and encouragement of it a special duty,
and to labor and vote for it until 1t is
passed. On the second page OF to days
APPEAL we give synopsis of the Lowell
bill, with such comment as its strongest
points deserve.

blaine. Logan .ud shermap.

SENATOR LoGAN's friends are surprised
by the rapid development of sentiment in
favor of the nomination of Blaine; and
while they at one time believed Blaine
was sincere in his refusal to be can
candidate, they now accuse him of deceit
and treachery. Blaine and Logan are
friends, and the former has said that he
would be gratified by the nomination OF
the latter. In view of recent developments
this pretense is shown to be a mere blind.
The discussion of Payne as the residuary
legatee of Tilden, and the probable choice
of the Democratic Convention, is bringing
Senator Sherman strongly to the front. II
the Republicans were convinced that the
Democrats would nominate Payne they
would unquestionably seek the man most
certain to carry Ohio. SheIman's nomina-
ton would, they say, not only insure Ohio
against loss, but no candidate would be
stronger than he in New York.

The Democratic party, as the APPEAL
in an elaborate editorial on Wednesday
showed, from the records since 1900, is
committed to free trade. 1t is therefore
bound in honor and honesty to urge tariff
reform henever there is an opportunity.
1t cannot go back of its pledge made at al
most every convention since the century
was ushered in, to relieve the people from
tax burdens as last as the lessening needs
and necessities Of the government will
permit. OF the 1876 Democratic members
of the House of Representatives 176 have
determined that such an opportunity pre-
sents itself this session of Congress. Hence
the Morrison tariff revision bill which is
to be discussed on Tuesday next by the
caucus with view to its speedy pass
age. Against this action Mr.. Ran
dali interposes his protest backed by
twenty Representatives. He does this in
spite of the pledges and the historic position
of the Democratic party, and, We suppose,
to be consistent with the record he made
last year when he openly co-operated and
voted with the Republicans to prevent
the Democrats from accomplishing tariff
reform. He has repeatedly declared that
he will cooperate with anybody to defeat
the tariff reduction favored by majority
of his Democratic colleagues. He thus
makes war upon the Democratic party,
and tries to make 1t weak where it should
be strong. This cannot be tolerated. The
Catholic Church without the doctrine of
the trinity would be shorn OF all its
strength. 1t would not, and could not for
its own sake, permit any of its members to
deny that doctrine. To deny it would in
effect be to deny the Church. So with the
Democratic party. Free trade is its
cardinal doctrine. To deny it is TO deny
the party. Mr.. Randall is guilty of heresy
and schism. He must purge himself OF
both and yield to the majority. As for his
attempting to coerce the party, to compel
l76 representatives to yield themselves
and the party to twenty Representatives,
that is childish. The Democrats, to win,
must go before the country this fall
pledged to tariff reform, and be able to
point TO the passage of the Morrison bill
through the House as an earnest of what
they are anxious to do to accomplish it

The story in Washington is that some of
Senator Edmunds's friends are trying to
prevail upon him to appoint Mr.. Blaine
Secretary OF State in case he (Edmunds) is
nominated at Chicago, on the ground that
all the other candidates, with the excep-
ton of Arthur, have done SO. At latest
advices, however, the Vermont Senator
had not promised, and it is safe to say will
not do so. If he cannot get Senator
Blaine's friends without such dicker, he
concludes that he must do without them.
