Considering that the Cabinet places are SO Few

1t is reported that Joseph Cook has defined his
position on the tariff by explaining that he Is a
provisional free-trader and a conditional pro-

That body gave the country to understand that the
Democratic party was not only provisional free

CHATTANOOGA, TENN, November 12.-
The Southern rate war which has been
waged 50 fercely for two months past is
at an end. General Passenger Agents
Wrenn of the East Tennessee system,
Brown Of the Western and Atlantic and
Whitehead of the Central railroad, who
have been leading participants in the
tight, submitted the question of restora-
tion of rates to 7. M. Emerson, president
of the Southern Association, who decided
that rates shall be restored Saturday morn
ing. The differences between the lines
which caused the bitter war will be set
tied by arbitration in the Southern
Committee, which meets December I'd.
There is general rejoicing here among the
railroad men that the fight is ended.
Regarding the situation yesterday the
Chattanooga Times said;
The rae war between the East Tennes-
see, Virginia and Georgia and Western
and Atlantic is growing livelier every day
and is being wofsed with such bitterness
rs was never before witnessed in the
South. The warning lines seem to have
no care as to what may result from any
cut and are fighting in q most reckless
manner. The fight has been in progress
for more than two months and there is
lesss prospect of an adjustment of the
trouble now than ever. The officials of
other lines have been called in to bring
about an amicable settlement between the
two lines, but their efforts have proved
fruitless. Receiver Fink says he will
stop fighting when the East Tennessee,
Virginia and Georgia is admitted into the
Union Depot in Atlanta or allowed a diff
ferential rate, but President Brown Of the
Western and Atlantic says he will never
agree to either Of the propositions and
proposes to continue the fight.

In spite CT the rain fair house greeted
The Professor at the Memphis Theater last
evening. The farce, for it is more farce
than comedy, has been seen here on one
or two occasions with the author, Mr.. Gil
lette in the title role, and last nights au-
dience, having vivid remembrance
of him, judged Mir. Barrcws by his
standard. Absurd rs the play is,
there is enough in it TO keep the audience
in roar, though every man looks at his
neighbor after it is all over, and wonders
what has amused him SO. Mr.. Barrows

Gillette. But most of those who were
present were chiefly interested in Miss
Katie Cheatham. niece of Gen. Cheat
ham, who took the part of daisy Brown"
she was warmly welcomed, not alone on
the strength of her family name, but by
virtue of her own popularity, and the ap-
plause which rewarded her efforts was a
tribute purely to her talents. She is
charming in face and figure, seems to
have natural adaptibility for the stage,
and adds to her accomplishments as an &C.
tress of no mean ability that of very rich
and sympathetic voice. A number of hand
some floral tributes were showered upon
her at the close of the second act. In tt

one strongly of Annie Pixley, though it
would be unjust to her, debutante, to
compare her with that finished actress
whose skill has come only with long years
of experience. The remainder of the cast
was very fair, though this notice cannot be
completed without line for the benefit
of that otherwise charming ac-
tress, Miss Jennie Waetz. She
spoils every scene upon which she
appears by the fearful manner in which
she rolls for her RS. The Professor will be
given tonight, at matinee tomorrow, and
for the last time tomorrow night.

New YORK, November 12.-Duripg the
last two days material progress has been
made by the officers of the trunk line rail-
roads toward the establishment of more
anicable relations between the several
companies. The most important point de-
cided upon is the recognition Of the Balti-
more and Ohio as New York road, and
its claim for percentage of the passenger
traffic from this city has been allowed
Its arrangements for reaching this city
have not been announced, but it is under
stood that for the present at least it will
come over the Pennsylvania road. The
passenger pooling contract has been com-
pleted and ratified, and is ROW being
signed by the presidents. All but two
had signed it yesterday. Within few
days rates will be advanced to the basis o.!
800 between New York and Chicago 1t
is understood that the several local ticket
offices in this city will be consolidated so
that all the roads will be represented in
each cffice. Orders have been issued to
advance west-bound freight rates Novem-
Der lS:h to the basis of 70 cents per 100
pounds from New York to Chicago, go
cents for second class, 45 cents for tn I'd,
So cents for fourth and % cents for s2ecial.
The present first-class rate is so cents per
100 pounds, and the others are from 10
to 20 cents below the new houres

ESTABLISHED 1910.

OK looking over the papers and docu-
ments left by Gen. Mcclellan, it has been
found that one mystery of the second Bull
Run that Mcclellan is said to have cleared
up in his description of the battle is that
where Fiz John Porter is said to have had
10000 troops which he failed to send into
action. Mcclellan shows that Porter had
only 5000 men, aud that 5000 Of them
were, owing to Secretary Stanton's orders,
at Frederick, and virtually OF. OF Porter's
hands, while the rest were under fire con-
tinually. This is additional and very i'm
portant testimony in favor of Gen. Porter,
whose case ought to be finally disposed of
by his restoration to his lineal rank in the
army, and to all his brevets, by President
Cleveland, who should also by an execu-
tive order eSpunge the sentence of the
original cCurt-martial.

CORRESPONDENTS OF THE APPEAL
LITTLE ROCK, ARK November 10.-The
Central South Association of CSngrega-
tional churches convened at Little Rock,
November 5:h to S:h, had an unusually
interesting and profitable session, and
among other things the following resolu.
tions were adopted by unanimous consent
and the secretary was instructed to send
copies of the same to Memphis papers, re.
questing their publication:
WHEREAS, The Rev. B. A. lines, pastor of the
Second COngre gational church of Memphis, be.
cause of his liberty to declare Gods word, as he
understands it, in reference to the evils of secret
societies, has been repeatedly warned of danger
TO his person. and has also been notified to leave
the city, therefore,
ResotUed, That we express our sympathy with
Brother lines in this case; that we approve the
stand be has taken for the liberty of the pulpit
and of the PRESS, and that we denounce this as
sault upon free speech as an assault upon all lib
erty, and as coming with an ill grace from peo
pie who, as Brother lines says, . owe all theil
freedom and citizenship to those who under GoC
gave their lives in defense of free speech and free
manhood"
Resolped, That we repeat the admonition sen
out by the American Missionary Association Il
all its workers, asking them to give attention Il
the evils growing out of societies among the
colored people, and by all appropriate means t.
seek to avert them.

IT is disgraceful and discreditabls to the
authorities OF Crittenden county that
criminal such as Swamp Angei'' Mitchell
is described to be should be at large, and
it is still more SO that he should have been
permitted to break jail at Little Rock and
make his escape pending a requisition by
the Governor of mississippi for his surren-
der for trial for his first crime. The list Of
his murders is an appalling cDe. 1t is
blood-curdling reading, and suggests, if
not collusion, al amount Of indifference
on the part Of the authorities that is any
thing but reassuring to law-abiding and
peace-pursuing cit.z9ns. The Governor of
Arkansas, as we'll as the Governor Of Mis-
sissippi, should offer rewards Tor his ap-
prehension, and the palice of this city
should make it their special duty to arrest
and hold him if he comes here. Mitchell
cannot be dealt with too promptly or too
severely

From the New York Tribune we learn
that ''the Republicans Of East Tennessee
are organizing an institution which ought
to become a permanent influence and an
efficient instrument in the political life of
that division of the STATE. They propose
TO form a Grant Club in every county, with
a central organization at Knoxville made
up Of members chosen by the county
clubs. Their purpose is to disseminate
Republican principles, to promote har-
mony, concert OF action and thorough or
Eani2ation among Republicans, to bring
cut the entire Republican vote Of East
Tennessee and have it fairly counted, and
to detect, prosecute and punish every yio-
lation Of the eleci1n laws." To this no
good Democrat can object. Every man
who believes in the Republican party and
its bloody-shirt methods, dsplorable
though such belief may be, has clear
right to maintain and sustain Grant club
aud do everything he can honestly for the
success OF his party, and it is his duty as a
citizen to prosecute infrsctious of all the
laws OF the State, and contribute by his
example 70 the maintenance Of law and
order,

The Scient:f; american, which is the
best possible authority On such topics and
matters, insists that ''it is of imperative
necessity to the public that the Bell
patents be impartially investigated by
competent tribunal. The suit Just discon-
tinued was g public nesd. Distinct allie
cations of fraud il the granting of the
Bell patents bring them within the prov
ince of action of the Attorney-General.
He could have tried the case in the Cir
cult and eventually in the Supreme
Courts, as no one else could. The action
would come from such new quarter that
the Circuit Court judges would be to a
greater or less extent free from the in
huence OF former decisio ons. A way
seemed to have been found in which to
try the case dc moro, upon its merits, IN

fortunately IL had to be abandoned in the
courts" for the preeeat only, however
When tho present examination before
Commissioner Montgomery is ended it
may be 1. s1med again. The questions
that are presented for his consideration
are, inst, has the government right to in
stitute proceedings to set aside the Bell
patents and, second, if SO, are the facts
such rs would warrant the bringing of
such an action? If the questions are de-
Clared in the affirmative, and the Attor-
ney-General is requested to prosecute, he
will do 1t more g'acefu " than before.

THE New York Herald sums up the
result of the bloody-shirt campaign which
was opened in Ohio by John Sherman,
and which, successful there, seemingly
justihei its extension to other States.
The Herald says: "Then came New
York. Gen. Logan and Gov. Foraker,
against the warnings Of more sensible
men, swept through this State Haunting
the bloody shirt. Poor Mr.. Evarts Joined
in, perhaps because he did not like to see
the Western men looking go hard at the
White-House. And behold, New York
went Democratic. Not only that; in Con-
necticut and New Jersey Republican leg
islative msjorities are much diminished
In Massachusetts, which used to cast SO,-
900 to 100000 Rspubiican majority, the
grand old party is happy over 10000"
And yet, in the face Of theae facts, there
are Republicans like Gsnator Hawley who
believe in bloody-shirt campaign in 1888.

LONDON, November 1.-THE Scottish
newspapers to-day, commenting on MIR.
Gladstone's address at Edinburgh yester-
day generally condemn the speech.
The Scotsman gives it faint praise, and
says it believes the people will continue
to follow Mr.. Gladstone.
The Glasgow Herald says: "Mr. Glad
stone comes forward too late. No sooth-
ing words will affect the disestablishment
controversy"
The Glasgow Mail says: "The speech
had better not have been said, as it has
caused intense disappointment.
The Edinburg ReUieU Gays: "Instead Of
effacting unity the speech has immeasura-
bly, extended the rifE in the Liberal
ranks"
The Scotland Courant says "Gladstone
deluges the Liberals with cold water"
The Times, commenting on Mr.. Glad
stones speech, says that it regrets to be
compelled to deny Mr.. Gladstone's asser-
tion that the Tories forced the Euglish
Church question to the front. 1t had been
freed by the Radical caucus. While it ad-
Bits the increased friendly tone of the
speech toward The English Church, it says
''The language is guarded and measured,
| and was wruug from the Liberal leaders
by the exigencies of the political situation
There is frank expression of his personal
conviction respecting the question of dis
| establishment. The country has no guar
antee against how soon tine Radicals will be

The Difficulty the Commission Has i'm
Locating It-A Good Suggestion.

To the Editors of the Appeal:
1t seems that the commission who have
charge of the selection of site for the
branch asylum for the insane in West
Tennessee cannot readily agree as to the
most desirable place for this muca-needed
institution. We will suggest that they
agree TO disagree, and let this business be
left to the State Board of Health, which
is an official representative body of the
whole State. The law creating this board
says "They shall, when they deem it
p1.5essary, advise in reference to location
u water supply, drainage and ventilation
If any public institution" This official
body should have bsen instructed by the
last Legislature to locate and, indeed, su-
perintend the construction of this asylum,
instead of special commission composed
exclusively Of citizens of Nashville.
