The Memphis appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1886-1890, 1886-03-30

TAe Senate, after debate which
has nelther added to its dignity nor
displayed itS,-wisdom, has passed it's
resolutions about not confirming nom
nations unless the administration
gives up, at its demand, papers that
belong not to the legislative but TO the
executive branch Of the government,
Ii has passed them by full majority
OF Que, and their worth is Co.extensive
with the area Of that majority. What
does the Senats's whole movement
amount to? Has It shaken in the
least the standing of President Cleve-
land? On the contrary, the President
has gained prestige by his calm adhe-
renee to principle and the quiet dig
nifty of his attitude as compared with
the fuss and feathers" and assump-
tons and empty tuning and froth OF
the Senate. IL has aroused the atten-
ton toward its own unpslStable and
unpopular practice OF holding sessions
secret from the people whose business
they are employed to conduct. What
ever might be the popular estimate of
the Senate before its late de-
bate, that estimate is lower to-day
than before it took place. The ma
jority OF one by which the resolution
was adopted has added to the con.
tempt felt for the whole performance
OF which 1t wal. the iaroical ending
The Senate in its assumption of su.
periority tried its power against the
House some time ago and failed. This
time it has entered the lists against
the administration, and has ended by
making itself ridiculous. Now let il
abolish its secret sessions, limit it's &C.
ton to its own sphere Of duty, and SO
regain the res )eCt of the public, q
respect it has so grievously wounded

dowed them with; or TO make effott
and toll 90 unwisely that they cost
more than they come to-" Work is
continued to many hours, andiwith too
little intermission. Especially is this
true If the Southern summer. In
New York there is q movement to
close stores and offices and places oil
business generally on Saturday alter
Moons, so as TO have a regular period
OF relaxation. When the cotton sea-
son ceases its activity our people
should add to this the closing Of all
ordinary businesses at 6 o'clock in the
evening. Leisure being thus pro-
vided air and exercise should be
sought. Those who can afford 1t, on

outskirts by the street railways, these

With such supplies OF air and exer-

God for.

CONDITION OF TRADE.
A GENERAL UPWARD TENDENCY
IN ALL BRANCHES
The Prospects, Aside From Striking
Troubles, Decidedly EncOurag.
ing anu:acturiD z Interests.
ESPECIAL TO TIE ApPEAL.l

PHILADELPHIA, PA, March 20
Jobbers aud manufacturers in Phila
delphia, New York and interior
manufacturing towns have been "a
ceiving a good many inquiries from
merchants throughout the country
relative to the probable course of
prices and trade for the next sixty or
ninety days. Manufacturers are un-
able to predict with any certainty as
to probabilities. Owing to the multi
tude of strikes in all sections business
has been impeded, confidence has
been weakened, buyers are holding
back, manufacturers are less anxious
to take business, and jobbers are do
ing such business rs comes to haad at
the least possible prices. At the same
time there is an upward tendency In
the market because of the increas d
cost OF labor of all kinds. The textile
manufacturers have been receiving
fewer orders during the past week
than usual, though running full time,
being confident that a few days, or
two or three weeke, at most, will
bring an immense demand for all the
products they will be able to deliver.
In hosiery goods, less woolens and
worsted is being used, and more cot.
ton. In the boot and shce trade
prices have not advanced, and leather
is declining. Manufacturers are will
ing to take summer contracts at pres
emit figures, and have instructed their
agents to crowd trade actively for all
possible contracts.
The carpet manufacturers are work
ing ten to eleven hours per day on
orders, and have as much work in
hand as they eau complete between
now and June 1st. The textile work
ers OF this city have formed centra
combination for the advance of wages
Strikes are declining, and in week OF
so the labor question, 30 far as Phila
delphia workers are concerned, will bt
almost completely disposed of.
The arrivals of lumber from the
Vest and South for the past week
have averaged !, 000, 900 feet per day
Large contracts are being placed by
builders, and inquiry is very active
with the probability of an upward
tendency, especially for the hare
woods, which are scarce.
The iron and steel industries are al
a standstill, owing to the general bsck
wardness among buyers, from railroad
builders down to email shops. Rail-
arc 1874 so; merchant iron, 81 80; nails
50 so Merchant steel is declining il
prices.
Toe trade prospects, casting aside
the striking troubles, are excellent
owing to the facts that the stocks il
first hands are light and at distributing
points are low. A large amount o
money is seeking investment at Low
rate OF interest. ColleG tons are gen
orally reported good; aud the conf
dence between manufacturers, jobber
and buyers is being stimulated.
Heavy arrivals of foreign wool ar
weakening prices for American woods
and manufacturers are looking for
further decline, which will be reflect
ed in lowering the qualities of textil
products.
The architects and builders Iepor
continued activity in the taking on
OF permits, and in new enterprises
large and small, from small shops t
the largest public buildings.

A HITCH IN NEGOTIATIONS.
DISAGREEMENT BETWEEN JAY
GOULD AND POWDERLY.
Another Conference to Be Held To-
Day-The Correspondence With
the Knights OF Labor.

ST. LOUIS. Mo-, March 29.-Between
8 and 10 O'Clock to-nig ht, while the
Executive Committee was in session,
the following dispatch was received
from New York:
"Complica ions have arisen since
morning as to the method OF arbltIa-
ton. Another conference will be held
tomorrow. By order OF the board.
'T. v. P0WDERLY."
When this telegram was received
the committee were discussing the
question OF ordering the men to re-
turn to work 10 morrow morning, but
their plans were now arrested, and
the committee adjourned for the
night. Shortly aiterWard Mr.. Cooper,
one Of the committee, said TO a re.
porter that, owing to the condition oil
affairs in New York, nothing could be
done by the Executive Committee In
the way Of ordering the men back 10
work until further instructions were
received from Mr.. Powderly. No or
der will now be issued. Nothing can
be done while there is no certainty
that arbitration will be agreed to.
Mr.. Irons, the chairman of the COM
mittee, is expected back from Sedalia
in the mo rning, ald he will then sit
with the committee.

A VALUABLE LAW.

New York has obtained for itself
a law from the Legislature that will
prove of great value by preventing
enormous abuses. When street or
other railroad franchise is required
there, and lis necessity is recognized
by the Board Of Aldermen, that
board can no longer bestow the franI
chiss at their msre pleasure upon
those who pay them best. The priv
ilege to be exercised must now be put
up at public auction and sold to those
who will pay most to the city treas
ury for is possession. This law stops
the shameful venality Of the Alder
men there, who have been receiving
Individually a $4,000 blibe from one
railway alone. Thus the value OF the
franchise, which belongs TO the peo-
pie, is grasped and retained by a set
OF dishonest scoundIelI. New York
has had to pay dearly to obtain the
knowledge that such proceeding
as 1t hes new adopted was necessary,
and other cities will do well TO use
the knowledge New York has
purchased at 20 heavy q price,
and obtain legislation requir-
ing that valuable public franchises
shall be sold by public auction, so rs
to obtain something like its public
value and have the money applied to
public uses. Happily, we have cleared
out the aldermen from Memphis, but
there are rea3ons connected with pub
lie order that make such measure
desira ole even here A contest in
front of an auction block in the late
street railway contentious here would
have been more peaceable as well as
more profitable to the city than the
unseemly strife that occurred in ouI
streets and caused bitter strife among
individuals, Railways are coming tc
Memphis from every quarter, business
is increasing, the population growing
larger, and in the proportion that the
city becomes more and more bust
ness center public franchises in water
gas, telegraph, electric lighting, street
railways aud a hundred other thing
will become more and more valuable.
A law such as that the New Yorl
people have found necessary, II OBJ
tanned at the next session Of the Ten.
nessee Legislature, would bring the
city treasury money aud save disputes
and disorders and attempts to bride
public authorities and officials.

BRITISH POLITICS.
Probability That Lord Harrington
VIII Join Gladstone.

LONDON, March 29.-There was a
session Of the Cabinet this afternoon.
Mr.. Gladstone and Lerd Harting on,
who wss Secretary for War in the last
Liberal Cabinet, interchauged COM
munications to-day regarding the lat
ter's attitude towards the Premier's
proposed Irish policy. 1t will be re-
membered that the Conservatives at
one time made overtules to Lord
Harrington looking to a fusion of the
Wings and Tories in new party that
il was claimed would exert control
over the political situation on the
Irish measure. He, however, though
a Wing, is sincere admirer OF Mr..
Gladstone, and has always refused
either to follow or lead the
opposition, and has never in practice
csr,ied this differing further than abb
stention from support. II Lord dart
ington should either take a place in
the present Cabinet, or openly pro-
claim himself a supporter Of the Pre-
mier's Irish proposals, it is thought
his aid would more than counterbal-
ance the effects Of Mr.. Chamberlain's
secession.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, March 29.-The
State Democratic Executive Commit
tee met in the celebrated room No. 7
at the Maxwell House at 10 o'clock
this morning. All Of the committee,
except Mr.. Sullivan of Knox, who is
sick, were present. An informal SEES
sion until noon was held, during
which prominent Democrats expressed
themselves as to the propriety of one
or two conventions TO nominate can
didates for Supreme Judges and a
Governor. In the afternoon the COM
mittee met with closed doors.
The Hon. S A. Champion and the
Hon. F. w. Ewing appeared before
the committee in behalf OF the two
conventions, and the Hon. w. G..
Whitthorne for one convention At
$50 o'clock Mr.. Kinney of Davidson
moved that one co vention be held
for both purposes. The vote stood:
Yeas. -Messrs. Kinney, Trousdale,
Miller, Lynn, Gregory and Ewing-6.

Mr.. II. j. Lynn of Memphis had
been elected to the vacancy occasioned
by the resignation of Mr.. Hillsman,
and Mr.. Mckay, secretary. The vote
standing tie, the matter was put that
two conventions be held, and this pre-
vailed unanimously. The committee
in the interest of harmony, there being
an equal division of opinion, had de-
cided to abide by precedent and hold
two conventions.
At the night session the dates fol
the conventions were fixed The con
vention to nominate candidates fol

orally unfavorable and receipts proved
unexpectedly large.
EAST INDIA CRoP.-From Messrs.
Gaddum, Bythell & Co.'s report of
date Bombay, February 10th, the fol-
lowing is taken: There has been more
activity in our market this week, and
some considerable purchases have
been made for export, chiefly of spot
cotton. The local mills have also been
buying freely, and although there is
still large stock of 0omras and Ben
gals in dealers hands, the bulk of it
is of the lower grades, the better class
cotton having been mostly bought up.
Some large purchases of DhOlleras and
Breach for forward delivery have
been made by natives, against their
previous sales, and prices have adj
vanced slightly; but exporters have
made hardly any purchases for for
ward delivery. The receipts of cotton
ito Bombay this week amount to
40. 1876 bales, or 1858 balts in excess OF
last week, but the shipments to
Europe show more than a correspond
ing increase, and after allowing for the
local consumption the total stocks of
cotton here are very little larger than
they were week ago Supplies in
the Oomra districts are becoming
larger, and some of our reports state
that quality is improving. In the
Breach and Oomra districts receipts
are increasing slowly, but fairly large
receipts are expectedby the beginning
of March. Quality continues satisfac-
tory. We have no change to report
in crop prospects elsewhere.
