CHATTANOOGA, TENN, January 3.
Hon. Samuel j. Randall and party ar
rived in this city this afternoon at 3
o'clock frcn Nashville by special train.
The party stopped at the leading cities
between Nashville and Chattanooga.
and at Murfreesboro' and Cowan i'm
mense tbrongs met the train, and Ran
was called to the platform and made
few remarks. Ats all the towns the train
was greeted with cheers. At Stephen
son, Ala, committee met the party
and escorted them to the city. When
the train entered the depot throng Of
nearly thousand Of the leading citizens
were assembled, and as the crowd di-
yided to let it pass cheer after cheer rent
the air for Randall and high tariff"
When the train stopped Mayor Hugh
Whiteside stepped upon the platform
and addressed Mr.. Randall as follows:
" Chattanooga is glad of this oppor-
trnity to join her sister cities in doing
honor to Americas greatest statesman,
whose clear head and conservatism have
made him the peer of all of his asso-
ciates. and won for him the respect and
confidence of the entire nation. We
extend to you and party most cordial
welcome
Mr.. Randall responded:
:. In reply to your words Of welcome
and friendship, | would say there is no
town in the South | would rather visit,
with its various business enterprises,
its energy and its industries, than Chat
tanooga. | have found, as | had thought,
that by special visit to the South and
Chattanooga, | would see the for
wardness of its enterprises, its in
dustrial interests, and shall hope to
be able to instruct myself in
all these directions, so that may be
able in the future to act in behalf of
The South with more intelligence than
have heretofore acted in behalf Of the
United States. The truth is, | have
never lost one vote or missed saying
one word that would aid in promoting
the interests of this section as well as
the interests of my own"
This speech was greeted with cheers,
and the party were then conducted to
carriages in waiting and left the depot
amid shouts from hundreds of throats
for Randall ard high tariff" The

A Russian Reformcr.

pNct'"sFl
The life of Nine. Nikitine. who re-
Gently died in Paris, furnishes a good
illustration of that complete sacrifice of
personal inciinations and comfort, out
of regard to political and social con-
sistency. which is so marked charac-
teristic of number of the Russian
people of the present generation. Nine.
Nikitine's father was a general in the
Russian military service, and during
her early years she was taught to vene-
rate the Gar as Gods vicar on earth.
Early in life she was married to brill
liant and very wealthy colonel of
the Imperial Guard. and, resid-
ing at St. Petersburg, was an hon
ored member of the highest social cir
cles of the Russian capital. But the
despotism of the Government and the
frivolous character of the social life in
Russia so weighed upon her that. after
short time spent in southern Europe,
she told her husband that she could
never again return to st. Petersburg,
and that. as his interests and that OF his
family made it undesirable that he
should thus exile himself. there must be
a complete separation between them.
Refusing the financial aid that he
would have willingly rendered, she
went to Paris. and devoted her life
to the study Of social problems and the
the dissemination OF ideas bearing upon
these subjects. She was for a number
of years frequent writer in the NoU-
reHe Rereu, and the sickness Of which
she died was caused by exposure in
making a tour i'll Ireland to study the
condition of the people there, as the
preparation for the writing OF series
of articles. Nine. Nikitine was alto
gether too we'll informed to have any
confidence in the extreme views Of the
Nihilists. but, at the same time, she
could not breathe freely III Russia, and
wouldnot have been allowed by the Gov
eminent. after her first writings appear
ed. to return TO that country. Yet her
love Of Russia was so intense that up
to the end of her life she could never
hear band play the national anthem
without weeping. As we have said
above, types of character such as this
are produced nowadays in hardly any
country other than Russia. There in
stances like this are numerous. In
deed, the history of Nihilism is but a
constant repetition of such experiences.
In view of the little that has thus far
been accomplished, it is sorrowful to
think of the enormous amount of per-
sonal sacrifice that has been made.

MADISON, WIS. January 3.-John
Schlimgen. president of the Madi-
son Saloon-Kecpers' Association, has
brought two ten-thousand-dollar suits
against John Olne, chief of the Law
and-0rder League, and late Prohibition
candidate for Congress, and Estes Will
son, a well-known citizen. Schlimgen
alleges that Olinc charged in public
speech that he had melted mob tc
violent action against the Law-and-Of-
der League spies in the city streets.
Wilson is accused of having had Schlim-
gen falsely arrested and tried for mob
leadership. The suits reopen the war
of last spring between the Law-and-Or-
der League and the saloon-keepers, and
will be bitterly fought with prominent
counsel on each side.

The Late London Explosion.
IBy cable 10 the Dlspatch.l


LONDON, January 3.-The Telegram
says, in relation to the explosion on
the underground railway last night,
that it proves renewed activity on the
part of the dynamiters and the neces-
sity of renewed vigilance by the police.
The only eflectual means of stopping
such outrages and detecting the crimi-
nails is to offer rewards large enough
to induce betrayal of the conspiracy.
The Daily Ne'os, speaking of the ex-
plosion, says it is remarkable how these
efforts to do mischief fall short of the
mark. Alarm and sense of insecurity
themselves, however, are a source of
mischief, and it would be relief to
learn that the miscreants had been
traced.
Colonel Majendie, chief inspector of
explosives, has made an examination
Of the spot where tho explosion took
place, but failed to discover anything
that would afford him clue to the
identity of the perpetrators of the out
rage

BosToN, January 3.--For few
weeks past active friends Of temperance
have been busily engaged in arranging
an organization to tide the reform over
its present critical stage. The move
ment eliminated yesterday in this city.
when a National League (non-partisan
and non-sectarian) for the suppression
of liquor traffic was formed. The move
ment has been kept from the press un-
i'll now. November 2Sth was the date
of the first meeting, when it was
decided to open correspondence wide
ly over the country to see what
support could be obtained. A platform
of principles and objects was prepared
and circulated. Numerous favorable
answers came, and many clergymen,
members Of Congress, judges, and wo-
men are committed TO support the
movement. Twenty-six States are rep
resented by prominent names. The
objects Of the Association, as set forth
in the constitution. are the enforcement
of the law against liquor traffic, the
withdrawal of legal sanction from and
the suppression of liquor traffic, with
the ultimate purpose, by constitutional
statutory proposition. to Danish it from
the land. Officers were elected, who
will hold Office until the first annual
meeting, which will occur January IA,
1886, unless the time is changed by the
directors.
The officers arc as follows: Presi-
dent, Rev. DIR. Dorchester, of Natick;
General Secretary, Mrs. j. Ellen Eos
ter; Recording Secretary, Rev. A. II.
Plumb, ID. D.. of Boston; Treasurer,
Hon. Joseph ID. Weeks, of Pittsburgh +;
Directors Hon. Oliver Hoyt, OF Con-
necticut Lewis Miller, Of Ohio Hon.
J. b. Farwcll, of Illinois Rev. Z. f.
Hale, Mrs. Mary A. Liyermore, and
Mrs. C. 7. Prescott, Of Massachusetts,
and Mrs. Annie Wittenmeyer, of Penn
sylvania. A few vice-presidents were
chosen. The Methodist denomination
is more numerously represented than
any other. although the movement is
wholly non-sectarian. 1t was decided
TO issue brief statement to the public
in few da ), showing the purpose and
scope of the movement.
