A VICE OF HATEFUL MEN.

There are some abuses the best oppo-
sition to which is to permit them to dis
play themselves. They, like vice, are
monsters of such hateful mien that to be
hated need but to be seen. Our Ameri-
"a shipping business is an instance.
There are twenty-one steamer lines run
ming between Europe and South America,
yet there is no regular steamship COM
munication whatever with the United
States. and it is a common thing for
merchandise for South American ports
to be shipped to England from the
United States to get there. Is not this a
matter of hateful mien?" The reason
is that other countries can buy
ships wherever they can buy them
cheapest, but the narrow trade laws
that monopolists have saddled upon the
United States will not allow this. The
consequence is that those who are per-
mitted to buy their vessels on the best
terms get the carrying business, not only
of their own country but of the United
states also. We can neither send our
products abroad nor receive them from
abroad on our own shipping. The laws
made by our m~onopOlists have handed
he whole of this important business over
o foreigners, under the bare-faced, in
solent pretense of protecting American
trade. The ~monopolists know how
great the evil is, of course. as
we'll as others do, and how do
they propose to remedy it? By
Offering to allow ships to be bought for
American use where they can be had
for the least money? By no means;
that would be too good for the country
md too bad for themselves. Their
organ, the New York Tribune, in an
article in last Saturdays issue, demands
giving assistance to American steamship
lines" that is, granting them subsidies
out of the public taxes. The ship-build-
ing monopolist demands hat only ships
built by them shall be allowed to carry
the American flag. This takes away the
profits of the American ship-owner and
gives the transportation business to for
eigners. The ~monopolist, with an au-
daciousness of impudence that appears al
most incredible, says to the country: If
you want to do American trade on
American ships, pay the ship, owner his
profit out of the taxes the people pay"
The people at large suffer one loss by
being denied the right of purchasing
their ships at a fair price, and when they
ask for relief from hat injury they are
teld that they must submit to a second
loss by paying the shipowner's profit out
Of their own pockets. This is how
wrong shows its viciousness and be-
comes the monster that to be hated needs
but to be seen.

FLEE 70 THE HILLS


Very many of our citizens are feeling
strongly the effects of the exhaustive
weather of July and August. Debility
Is causing many to answer How do you
do?" by Il am run down. The cure for
the suffering is not to be found in tonics,
still less in whisky. What is wanted is
oxygenated air, such as is found among
mountain SUBMITS and green pine woods.
These can be found in our own State of
Tennessee and on its borders, and the
month of September is the time to enjoy
them. Nature then is at her perfection.
The fruit is ripe, the wild berries and
nuts Of the woods are ready for gather
ing. The weather is settled. Cool nights
a1d autumn breezes make the country
pleasant. How many of our readers
have no perception of what they can
find of the beautiful and the grand in
our own Southern scenery? Lookout at
Chattanooga, Sewanee, Rugby and Mont
eagle on the Cumberland plateau, all
have their charms. To find the grandest
scenes, however. East tennessee and its
borders in North Carolina and Virginia
should be selected. Beyond Knoxville
Is fairy land. There the mountain
show their forest-covered sides and their
h)ary heads. The green valleys show
their pearly streams, pure from the
mountain nights, and there stand the
mountains themselves, sometimes beau
titul in their varied curves, some
times grim and awful in their
sublime desolation. Rogersville and its
Devils Nose, Hale's Spring, at the foot
of Stone Mountain, and many another
locality, will enchant the visitor. Those
who have a love for what is wild and pic
turesque and grand in scenery, should go
to Morristown and then take the railroad
for Ashville. Their way is beside the
beauteous French Broad river. The.day
the traveller makes that journey, like the
ancients, he will mark with a white
stone. At Ashville he will find, amid
splendid scenery, delightful society and
all the attractions of a summer resort.
If he be z lover of mountain solitudes,
jagged peaks, dark ~ravines leaping cas-
cades, forest recesses, the ouoyant air of
soaring nights, the animated glow of soul
and the activity of limb that a thorough
mountain district imparts, let him take
a trip from Ashville to Henry Station,
and visit the neighboring Catawba val
ley, and from Black Mountain climb the
sublime nights of Mount Mitchell.
There he will be beyond the mere tour
list range, and see nature as God made it.
We cannot so into details, much as it
would delight us to do so. Call upon
Barney Hughes, at the corner of Main
and Court Square, and he will give you a
book that will tell you all about them.
When the Charleston railroad brings
you back from your trip, buoyant in spir-
its and glowing with health, you will no
longer answer friendly inquiries with,

MEMPHIS APPEAL.
FRIDAY 8: AUGUST IS, 1885
An EN- COLUMN.

The Mississippi Democrats are deter
mined to hold the fort. They are march
ing to the great political battle TO be
fought in November IN a solid and I'M
broken column. The angry and bitter
discussion which preceded the recent
State convention seems to have invigor-
ated the slumbering energies of the party,
just as the thunder and the lightning
purifes the atmosphere. Indeed, the
Democracy of Mississippi is so united
and harmonious that it will be impossi
BILE for the Republicans and their allies,
the Independents, to get up a fusion
ticket In view Of the dis
cords, the personal wal of Grim
1nation and recrimination, Demo-
Gratis outside of the State had great ap-
~prehensions as to the result of the Mis-
sissippi elections in November. But
there can no longer be a doubt as to the
result. Since the nomination of the
ticket less han a week ago the Demo
cratic newspapers have gulped down
the unsavory dish of crow, and, sinking
their individual views as to policy and
expediency, and regarding the combined
wisdom of the party as superior to indi-
yiduals, they have rallied to the support
OF the ticket with a zeal that is a
tribute to their patriotism and fidelity.
And how could it be otherwise? Gov.
Lowry has made a good executive. He
Is a true Democrat, an honest and able
man. He has elements of great political
strength. Four years ago he made a
brilliant canvass, led his party to VIC
tory. His record, personal and pc
Itioal, is pure. His administration
has not only been such as to dis
arm criticism, SANDER and defamation,
but such as to bear the calcium light of
Investigation and to command the unani-
NOUS approval of the Mississippi De-
mocracy assembled in State Conven-
ton. In no uncertain voice the peo-
pie of the State will emphasize
the verdict of the convention at
the ballot-box in November. Hem
mingway, the nominee for State Treas

LAWRENCE, MASS, August 27.-Al-

and wealthy citizens here, was shot in
the back of the head and killed by
Henry r. Goodwin at 1890 o'clock this
morning. Goodwin gave himself up.
uoodwin entered the office of the Sprague
Manufacturing Company, of which Mr..

President Coburn and the latter being in
he office at the time. Goodwin has
been employed by the Molecular Tele-
phone Company of New York, of which
swan was general manager, aud came to
The office to claim several thousand dol
lars which he said were due him from
the company. After a brief discussion
Goodwin drew a revolver, a thirty-two
caliber, took deliberate aim and shot
Swan in the back of the head. Swan
reeled and fell to the floor dead. Good
win then stepped to the telephone and
notified the police station to send an Off
Ger to arrest him. He stated that Swan
had robbed him of all he had, and there
vas a period in a mans life when he
could stand no more. He had reached
that period and went TO the mill to kill
Swan, and was willing to stand the con-
sequences. He started the telephone
business here, and later sold out TO Swan
and his partner. He then went to South
America as manager OF the Bell tele-
phone system at Buenos Ayres. He re-
turned W years ago, and has lately been
trying to establish the Molecular system
in Cleveland. He returned from Chicaeo
but three days ago. Mr.. Swan was a
prominent banker of this State and New
York, and was unusually esteemed.

THE CHINESE PROBLEM.
Interview with ex.NsInister John Rus
sell Young.
How Emigration Can BE Prevented by
the Government.

New York, August 2T.-John Rus
sell Young, ex-Minister to China, in an
interview yesterday said: The emigra-
ton from China comes from one point
alone-Canton. Canton is a city of 1,000,-
900 people, the center of a vast province,
the most southern port in China. Within
seven hours of Canton, by river, is Hong
Kong. Hong Kong is British settle
ment, as much under the British flag as
is Cork or Liverpool. All the traffic in
the way of emigration to America comes
from Hong Kong, mainly through En-
gllsh houses. There is no stipulation or
treaty, and there can be none to Justify
us in asking the Chinese to prevent
Cinnamon from going from Canton to
Hong Kong. Once there they are free
from Chinese influence. If the Ameri-
can government wishes to reach the emf
grafton question it will have to go to
Lord Salisbury and ask him to so in
struct his government in Hong Kong
that there may be no emigration. The
British Governor-G General at Hong
Kong, whom | know very well,
and whose guest l have been,
said he was perfectly willing if
the American government wished
1t to stop the immigration, but | had no
irs'ruct ons. There is nothing in the
record to show that China has ever en-
deayored to eyade the treaty. On the
contrary, she has enforced it, even more
stringently than any request of ours calls
for. The Chinese do not care for the
emigration. They would stop the whole
thing tomorrow. They do not, of course
like the idea of other nationalities being
accepted in America and they being ex
Guided, but that is a question of pride OIL

ROBBED HIS RELATIVES.
fli rank scheme for Repairing His
Broken Fortunes.

CHICAGO, August 27.-Eli Frank has
disappeared mysteriously, together with
$1,000 of his brothers money. Five
brothers, of whom Eli is the oldest, have
been engaged in the liquor business in
this city for a number of years, and have
acquired more or less wealth. About
six months ago, Eli began talking of a
splendid chance to make money by buy
ing UP q lot of Kentucky whisky, which
he had Information was going to be sold
in Kentucky at a figure that would make
it a profitable investment. The conve
sations about this seem to have grown
more frequent, aud the matter culminat-
ed a week ago Tuesday in three of the
brothers drawing $4,000 from the bank
and giving it to Eli, to be paid back
when he had made his venture a success.
That afternoon Eli left the city, osten-
sibly for Louisville, and nothing has
since been heard of him. Diligent in
quiry has failed to reveal his where
abouts. His brothers scout the
idea that Eli has been foully dealt with,
and say that in their opinion he has left
the country. Julius Frank received this
morning a letter from the missing Eli.
1t was dated from New York and vouch-
safed the information that Eli had lost
all OF his own money IN specializing on
the Board of Trade. He said hat he
nearly went crazy over his loss and had
an idea of killing himself, but finally
conceived the scheme of securing what
money his relatives had. He says he has
all the money he got from them with
him, but gives no information as to his
intentions or his future movements. The
case was placed in the hands of the po-
lice, and Eli will probably be arrested
and brought back.

SPAIN AND GERMANY.
The Amicabte Attitude of the Spanish
GOHernment TOWARD GermanY

MADRID, August 27.-The govern
ment has closed the doors of the army
aud navy club because officers belonging
to the club have returned their German
decorations, and because the club has
struck from its honorary members the
names of German officers and that of the
Crown Prince of Germany. The press
and army are disguised by the amicable
attitude that has been displayed by the
Cabinet toward Germany.
The ministerial government have
adopted a modified tone, while the oppo-
sltion Journals attack Germany with in
creased vigor. The result is that seven
of the latter papers have been seized or
will be prosecuted. Public feeling is
more decided than ever against a CON
cession to Germany.

neglect which caused the suffering.
Montreal, in Canada, a grand city that
does an immense business, is at this mo-
ment in the circumstance that arouses
these feelings of mingled pity and blame.
Two Chicago Pullman car porters who
had taken smallpox from some newly ar
rived European people, started the cpl
demic and now the deaths in Montreal
from smallpox are reaching up into hun
dreds, including rich as well as poor.
How came the people of Montreal to be
ina condition to take smallpox merely
because a couple OF men who had it were
in their eity? Because due attention
had not been given to vaccination.
That operation prevents the possibility
of smallpox becoming epidemic, and it
ought to be performed upon every child
withsa st~rictness as religious as that with
which Moses required the Jewish rite to
be performed. The head of every fam
lily, the authorities of every city and the
government of every country ought to
see to every child being vaccinated.
Every Christian minister ought to urge
the duty upon the conscientiousness of
his flock, for how can they be doing to
others as they would have others do to
them, if they send their children into So
ciety in a condition hat may make them
dealers out of death to society," 1t is
useless laying the smallpox now raging in
Montreal to the two Pullman porters.
If Montreal streets were covered with
gunpowder instead of dust, would an
explosion, when it occurred, be the sole
fault of the individual who dropped a
spark upon it? Montreal, on this occa-
sion, was in a condition suitable to re-
eeive infection, or the two porters would
have gone to the hospital and that would
have been an end to the trouble. The
loss of life and the destruction OF trade
at Montreal should arouse attention else
where. Are we careful in Memphis
about vaccination, or are we allowing
the gunpowder of infection to exist on
every street by criminal neglect? In
justice 70 the English population Of
Montreal We add the following from the
New York Times: Nearly all of the
victims are French Canadian Catholics,
who do not order their lives in obedience
to ordinary sanitary rules, and are OPP
posed to vaccination. Smallpox isa filth
disease, and Montreal has for years been
n of its abiding places. In the five
years ending with 1880 it caused the
deaths of 2549 persons in that city, and
of these PIG were French Canadians.
Of the Sc who died last week 80 were
