MIR. RANDALEs SPEECH.


We publish the speech of Hon. Sam
]. Randall, recently delivered in Nash
vile, on the first page of this paper,
and commend it to the careful and
unprejudiced pefnsal OF our readers.
We do not urge an endorsement of
all it contains. Mr.. Randall is rep
resentative man in the politics of the
day. He is the promulgator of GER
tain ideas on the tariff question and it
behooves all who wish to be posted
politically to read what he had to say.
The speech indicates a position
more moderate than that with which
the great Pennsylvania is usually ac-
credited. We reproduce it from the
Nashville American and, as it is print
ed, it contains a sentance which seems
to us to be contradictory in itself and
out OF accord with the general tenor
OF the Speakers utterances. The sem
lance referred to is this:
We have three sets of thinkers In
our country at this time. One class
wants a prohibitory, high tariff duty.
Another class seeks to have free trade
established, and third class, to which
claim to belong, want the duties 10
be levied on articles of import so that,
when they come in competition with
those manufactured in our own coun-
try, they shall have such duty placed
upon them as will result in preventing
their importation"
The distinction between a "prohibi-
tory high tariff duty" and @such duty
as will result in preventing their inn
portation" is not very easily discovered.
What Mr.. Randall really said, no
doubt, was that foreign manufactures
should DO SO taxed as to place them
on level with domestic manufact-
ures. The sentance as it stands is
meaningless; the first and third posi-
tons defined therein are identical
In another portion of the speech Mr..
Randall is reported as saying.
1t is very easy for politician or q
statesman TO theOrize on the tariff II
saves deal of study, but if construe
the Chicago platform, upon which we
have elected a Democratic President
| want to call it perpendicular by
way of contradiction from a horizon
tai scale, to measure it-that is to
measure the cost at which any given
article in this country can compete
with foreign article of the same ma.
ture. The revenue is TO be so adjust
ed as, while allowing it to give pro
lection to American industries, it will
not enact monopolies. This is, in my
judgment, what the Chicago platform
means.
This, in connection with what fol
lows, shows that it was the competing
and not the prohibitOry idea that Mr.
Randall intended to advance.

A special to the Nashville Banne

A special to the Nashville Banner
from Guthrie, KY, dated the third
inst, relates the following:
The harmless Roman candle sue
ceeded in getting in Its almost fatal
work last night. The young men
of the city were buslly engaged in
a sham battle. All went lovely as
marriage bell until Mr.. Chas Clark,
brother of DIR. l.. B. Clark, was
struck about one-fourth of an inch
below the eye and knocked sense
less. The hurt caused the eye to
protrude two inches. The physi-
clans think the IOOsing of the eye
will be the result. Mr.. Wesley
Ford was struck on the wrist, re-
what he thought slight
wound, but taking cold in it, it is
now thought he will he the looser
of both hand and wrist.

the rule of unaniniity in verdicts in

connection with the calling of con

The Trezevant correspondent of the
Jackson Tribune and Sun tells the
following tragical story of Christmas
debauch: "Pat Conway, who has lived
in this (CarrolD county for many
years, boughta bottle of whisky, Christ
mas eve, and took it away with him.
He was sober when he left town. On
the way home he commenced drink
ing. To escape the bitter cold he went
into negro cabin in sight of the house
of Mr.. w. ]. Fuqua, with whom he
lived, and while sitting by the fire he
drank heavily. From accounts he
must have remained there until near
morning. At daylight Christmas
morning he was found in the chimney
corner outside the cabin burning to
death. His clothing had taken fire, it
is supposed, just as he left the cabin,
and he had fallen in the chimney cor
ner and being too drunk to know any
thing he had lain there and burned to
death by inches. When found his
clothing had all burned off up to his
waist, and was steadily burning up to
his neck" Another: George Smith
colored, got drunk Christmas eve and
started home. He lived about one and
a half miles from Trezevant. Christ
mas morning he was found near his
house frozen to death. He died in
sight of the fire in his own cabin"
