AS to the legislative fraud in the
election of Payne, he said the only tes-
timony of fraud in that election points
| to those who were friends Of other
candidates. AS to the last leg
islature they gave civil rights
to the colored man. The Democrats
gave the colored men the right to
testify in court, the Democrats gave
them the repeal Of the black laws. l
may not get their votes, but l know
enough to do the colored man Justice.
The last legislature did way with the
scrip business that was undermining
the minors. They provided for fire
escapes in factories; that no children
should be employed in factories; for
seats for women in stores; for the
settlement of all labor disputes
by arbitration /; for more assistant
mine inspectors and inspectors of fac
tories. they extended the work of the
geological survey and 1 appointed
Junge Taft's brother-in-law, Edward
Orion, a good Republican, to take
charge Of the work. l did this, per-
haps, because a Republican knows
more about burrowing in the ground
than Democrats do. You never heard
Of any stealing in the last legislature.

THE OREGON sENATORSRIP.
How MitchelI's IIectton Was brought
About by the Democrats.

PORTLAND, ORE, Nov. 21.-It leaked out
yesterday that at the caucus OF the d mo-
cratic members Of the Legislature held
Tuesday evening, when authority was
given to seventeen members to vote for
John P. Mitchell for Senator on promise
that he would vote to confirm President
C;eveland's appointments, a resolution
was passed calling upon Cleveland
for the offices. The resolution recited the
general political status cf the State aud
argued that the Democrats could control
if they had the offices. The petition
was dispatched to the President yesterday.
Senator Mitchell, few minutes after his
election, addressed the Legislature and
defined his attitude toward the President
| in the following language: "1f l supposed
| for one moment that any Democratic rep
resentatiye on this Il Dor had cast his vote
| for me under the impression that
| it would have the effect of changing
| me from a Republican to a Democrat,
| OF course | would not feel complimented,
but have every reason to know that no
| member OF the Democratic party cast his
vote for me under any such impression.
| 1t is due, however, that should state that
| l recognize the fact and l am now about
| to proclaim from the House that which
| have ever proclaimed in secret chambers.
| l recognize the fact that at the late ma
tional election the Democratic party pre-
vailed and elected a Democratic President,
| and what l have to say is this: That l
shall not conceive it part Of my duty as
a Senator to go to Washington and make
| factions of the administration now in
| power. Of the nominations of the President
of the United States, if they are worthy
men, they shall receive my vote for con

MAJ. HAMPTON, chsirman of the COM
mittee appointed by President Hadden
last summer to consider the water ques-
ton, makes an iuformal report this morn
ing through the APPEAL, in which he az
sures the public that q formal report ia in
preparation that it is intended shall be
exhaustive Of the whole question and
point ont the possibilities as to water
supply very plainly to the people
of Memphis. In the preparation
of such a report time was q neces-
sary quantity. Many weeks OF it were
consumed in consulting with engineers
and engineering authorities and examin-
ing water-works, the sources of water
supply and securing the testimony of ex-
perts as to the cleaTness and purity of the
best water. In tits way q great body OF
useful information was gathered which
il was necessary to take time 10
digest, 50 that the result might be given in
brief compass and with an accuracy that
should challenge the approval Of experts
In so ambitious q work the con mittee has
kept the good name as well as The needs
of the city constantly in view, and we
have the iul est faith that it will make a
III )st cfeditsble report, one that shall ans
wer f0I Rll time and solve once for all the
question Of the least expensive and most
abundant water supply for Memphis.

Ma. PARYELL has at last made choice of
his ally in the British Parliament. He
has, with the concurrence Of his fellow
Home Rulers, decided upon cl;se snd
immedists sliiluce with the Tories, with
a purpose to defeat as many of the Lib.
eral candidates IS possible and make it
impossible for Mr. Gladstone to secure a
working majority. However much we
may regret Mr.. Gladstone's possible de.
feat, we cannot withhold from Mr.. Parnell
our need G praise for policy that is the
best evidence he could furnish of his firm
ness and earnestness of purpose in Ire
lE 1's behalf, and his very great ability as
a political leader. He preferred to make an
alliance with Mr.. Gladstone for many rea-
sons, but failing to win ''the grand
old man" to his purpose he
has accepted the offer Of the Tories
and will help them in Epgland and
ScotlaJd to elect many candidates from
what they considered were doubtful dis.

The example Of Mr.. R. G. Craig has not
been lost upon the people of Memphis.
The recent exhibit he made hes already
borne'fruit such as he himself desired but
hardly dared to hope would come SO soon.
The Merchants Exchange have, as will be
seen from lsttsr published elsewhere,
charged Messrs. J. S. Menken and John X.
Speed with the duty Of oonfer1ing with
Mr.. Craig as to the best place for Horti-
cultural and Agticu, .ural Exposition that

tention OF the country as one Of the fore

the sii nulus that an annual exposi
ton Will give TO make this enviable
position for her, and we feel sure
that Messrs. Menken, Speed and Craig
will develop plan that, if carried out
may successfully lead to that end. Mr.
Craig has the practical experience, and
Mr.. Menken ard Mr.. Speed, who are ad
mirable and active representatives of the
merchants of the city, may be counted on
to respond quickly to any suggestion oi
his that shall bear with it the strength oi
feasibility and prac'icabiliy.

RAINS IN CALIFORNIA.
The Heaviest Rainfall Ever known I'm
the state since IS49.

SAN FRANCIsco, CAL November 21.-It
has rained almost steadily throughout the
State for five days. 1t cleared of yester-
day morning, hut was raining harder than
ever last night. The total fall for the month
up to s o'clock last evening was 7-100
inches. This has never been exceeded, ex-
cept, perhaps, in the year 1S49, when IL
s0-l00 inches fell during October and No,
vember. Judging from the rainfall last
night the probabilities are that before the
present month is ended that the record
will be exceeded. Reports from Los An
gelos last night state that portions of the
Southern Patitic railroad between Sepul
veda and San Fernando have been washed
out, and the San Fernando tunnel caveC
in in several places. The damage so far
however, is not considered serious.

Public Training.

Public Training.
WASHINGTON, November 21.-The Bu-
reau OF Education is preparing report on
art and industry in institutions of public
ira ming. Ii is replete with practical knowl-
edge which will form a basis for these
studies in public schools The work has
been in preparation since 1874, and,
authoueb some parts CT it has been pub
lished, the major portion of the contents is
new, and has been collected and edited
with considerable trouble and care.
Much delay has been experienced in
securing its publication, owing to the in
suthcieDcy of appropriations or its use in
other branches of the Interior Depart
ment, under which the Bureau of Educa-
ton is placed. The fundamental idea of
the work is that universal teaching in eli
public schools of the elements of indus
trial drawing is an essential part Of any
general system of public education. The
work contains a report OF the system al
lowed in Eughsh institutions, and those OF
other countries relating to technical in
struction and the history OF the progress
OF industrial and fine arts. There are sew.
eral original papers in the work dealing
with the advance of the science and its
probable effect as a textbook for school
uses. The matter, however, is now coz
| fined to art alone, but takes in the instruc.
| ton of agricultural colleges, and traces the
relations of such studies to art culture
| The report will be ready within three
months.
