y Cry for Political Discussion in The
Snufii
Nashville American DEM.

Nashville American DEM.
Sectional and race prejudices have, in
the main, swayed political parties in the
south. AS a consequence, the young
generation of democrats have not been
educated and schooled in politics by high
public discussions, as their fathers were.
But the time has come when the young
men should be able TO state the reasons
for their faith an to tell why they are
democrats or why they are republicans.

Ono or philadeIphia's NIilIionaires.

One OF PhiladeIphia's MilliOnaires.
Philadelphia Press.
A slender, medium sized old man
walks slowly down Chestnut street. His
smooth-shaven face is furrowed, his
wrinkled hand trembles on his heavy
walking stick. He looks 90. He is in
reality about IS. His hair is rather long
for the cold weather has come, and from
late summer until spring his hair re-
mains uncut. His attire is comfortable
but plain, such as a sensible old clerk
might wear. The man is |. V. William
son. the possessor, according to common
understanding. of sumo $40, 1000, 900, and
per consequence by reFute the richest
man in Philadelphia. He came here
from Bucks county half century ago
with next to nothing. His fortune is
| the fruit of close application, skill, and
! foresight and of economical habits.
Though so rich, his personal expenses do
not exceed $4,000 q year, but he has
given away q fortune in charity. He is
a bachelor.

We are in receipt ofa LABOR ENQUIRER
EXTRA, published on Monday, which
gives an account of great meeting Of
workingmen in Denver the day before,
when. it is said, nearly 5000 friends of
the Denver and Rio Grandef men" now
on strike, assembled in the Mammoth
rink and were addressed by Hon. ]. B.
Belford and others. It was grand meet
ing and evidently did much. good. The
News may yet learn that it is not the
autocrat of public thought and action it
assumes to be. .S .....sg
1t does seem as though it is about time
for Incorporated companies to manifest
some respect for the well being and
manly privileges of their employees. A
decent regard for such rights and privl-
leges would render strikes altogether
impossible. .-Howitzer.

more than ten per cent"

What do they want, papa?"
"They want to make everybody earn

you be granger?"
Yes, my child, think so."

THE GRAND MARCH.
A Vast Throng OF Working People Visit
the Shops and Then Parade the
Streets of the City.

At O'Clock this morning between 400 and
500 men and women assembled at Burnham
to see the shops opened; and by o'clock
there were three or four times that many on
the ground. Once more they were agreeably
disappointed, for the shops did not open up.
Things were quite lively around there for
awhile. A scab tried to get in, but he could
not stand the pressure; few brave women
ran him into the ditch. Finally he came
back, and Mike Spangler, with another
impromptu guardian of the U. s., advanced
to help the scab when the women threw
dirt in their faces, and they retreated in good
order, with one hand on the front rank OF
the crowd and the. other on their pistol
pockets After being driven down to their
stamping ground the marshals were rein
forced and made another attempt to run the
scab In, but once more they were compelled
to beat hasty retreat.
Rumor has it that Spangler with ten brave
men like himself, could clean out the whole
crowd, but from the appearance of the war
rior this morning one would think that ten
women could rout hundred like him.
1t is reported tnat three or four scabs got
pretty badly thumped this morning.
At few minutes after o'clock the grand
assemblage sang "Hold the Fort and, formed
in fours, marched to the county jail. Calls
were made for the five brave boys who are
| imprisoned for contempt" Sheriff Gra-
ham, having perfect confidence in the honor
of the brave men in the procession, brought
the prisoners out. They were loudly cheered
| and both men and women pressed forward
| to shake hands with them. After few min
| utes of friendly intercourse the grand army
| once more sang the rallying song and took
| up the line of march down town. They came
to a halt at the boycotted flour mill of Davis,
which was treated to three stentorian groans.
! They then marched down to The ENQUIRER
office where calls were made for the editor,
who presently appeared at window. Three
cheers were given for ]. B. Buchanan and
| three more for the working peoples paper,
and then the vast throng proceeded to the
News Office Here the groans were almost
deafening and copies of the News were con-
signed to ashes and trampled under the feet
| of the crowd.
They then marched to Sheds Cheap
Store" on Curtis street, which is being boy
cotted by honest labor. After treating that
establishment to three groans, the procession
marched to the Mammoth rink, when it was
dispersed and the boys went quietly home or
to their various places of employment.
The whole affair was orderly, and with the
exception of the display of a little positive
determination at Burnham, the whole thing
was like a good-natured tollifcation. All
along the line of march the procession was
greeted with the smiles and waving hand
kerchiefs of braye and fair women, and the
warm applause of sturdy workmen and
steady-going business men. AS the process
sion passed the City hall it was cordially sa-
luted by a number of the police who were
standing about the building.

by side as now. And we venture to say
that in no organ of any body Of men in
the United States is any such doctrine as
division of property taught or claimed.
No bo dy Of men, unless it be the Ma
tional Bankers association and similar
combinations, desire to rob the industri-
GUS and give to the lazy or extrayagant
But many demand that everyone shall
receive just what they earn. no more and
no less, excepting only those unable to
labor, such as idiots, disabled, and in
sane. Yet this is called robbery.-Ore-

HIS nEBENEZER.

..- concluded from hrst page.l
pare your convictions with those of other
students for that is ''snarling." Do not
try to show that the statements of others
are false and will lead to absurd conclu-
sions. That is "wrangling." Pretend
that you have learned nothing, at least
do not mention any facts you may have
stored in your memory. if they do not
hasmonize with the views of your neigh
bors. That would be trying to show
smartness." Agree with everybody, for
if you do not you will raise discussion
and the desired harmony" will be de-
stroyed. Perhaps you may feel like at
tempting to write for some paper that is
willing to air your views. Do not do it
unless you can control yourself enough to
ignore what other writers say. Write in
q didactic way as though you had a grip
on the main facts that no one else can
possibly acquire. If any one else proves
that you are mistaken on any point you
can dispose of him by calling him
"childish."
Avoid offering your own opinion after
objecting to the plans of some other
writer. That will look like raising an
Ebenezer for people to worship. Eben-
ezers have never been known to flourish
under such conditions. Keep your
Ebenezer in cage.
If you don't follow my advice youwill
feel like an orphan and want to be back
in the republican ranks where you did
not need to believe anything; only
needed to have faith in your leaders be-
cause your father did. ZENo.

As Strong Arguments Now.

In anti-bellum ;times when a man
presented calm, logical reasons why
African slavery was wrong, he often re-
celved the argument, considered by the
shareholders all sufficient: 'Do you
want your daughter to marry a niger,
you id Abolitionist ?"
And now, when arguments showing
the wrong of monopoly and the necessity
for a more equitable distribution Of
wealth amo ng the producers, the argu-
ment considered so convincing by many
is: "Do you want to pile up all the
property in heap and take from the in
dustrlous to give to the lazy, you bloody
Socialist? ?"
None of the advocates of labor, polit-
ical or social reforms, desire to do any
thing of the kind, any more than the
aboltionists desired to obtain son-in-
laws of African decent. The Socialist,
anti-monopolist and the rapidly increas-
ing Knights of Labor-now numbering
1000 900 men demand that only they
who labor receive the result of that labor.
The lazy hummer of shylock banker,
the ward-striker and the office-holder
should receive just what they earn and
not one cent more. This, every fair
minded man will concede is justice ;
for what right has the able-bodied man
to subslst on the product of his brother :?
None realize more fully than do So
ciallsts or intelligent laborers that if all
the property were divided by force
present laws and customs existing-lt
would not be d month before beggar and
prince would starve and feast almost side

When Bernadotte, who was made king
cf Sweden by NAPOLEON l., was stricken
down with apoplexy, the attendant ply
sicians ordered blood-letting, and began
to make their preparations. But the
king would not permit it. He withdrew
his arm by quiet movement, and died
in few minutes afterwards. The autopsy
furnished the solution for the strange
action of the king. On Bernadotte's
arm the words "Vive la republique"
were found tattooed. His nephew, King
Oscar, is to-day legitimate ruler, and
is cordially received by the most con-
servatiYe courts of Europe.
