Labor troubles az 50. Louis.

Sr. LOUIS, Mo-, May 1S.-On infor-
nation received at police headquarters
late tonight, the authorities have
called in their police reserve and taken
a large number of patrolmen from the
downtown districts, and sent about
100 men each to the brewery of Jo-
seph Schnaider on Chouteau avenue,
between Missouri and Mississippi
avenues, and to that of Chas. G. Stifel
on the corner of Fourteenth and Null
lanphy streets, to guard them against
an apprehended assault. The precise
reason of the movement by the police
is not known outside of their circles
at this writing, but there is some sort
of trouble, not clearly understood,
between Messrs Schnaider and Stifel
and their employees, and threats are
said TO have been made or intima'ions
thrown out that there is to be a dem
onstration of some kind made against
the breweries tonight, and the police
have been sent 10 them rs a precau
tionary measure, and to protect then
should an assault be made. Later de
velopments will be closely watched
and reported.

CLOUGH OUGHT NOT To BE MADE
CLERK.

II Judge Howell f. Jackson will
hearken to the wishes Of the Bar Of
Memphis, which has so much business
with the United States Courts, Circuit
aud District, he win not appoint Mr..
Clough Clerk OF his Court. Whatever
that gentlemans abilities may be, he
is for some reason cordially disliked
BY the members OF the legal profession,
and on that account bis usefulness for
such n place is impaired. Heis there.
fore not the man for the place and
ought not 10 be appointed. The clerk
OF a court Is An executive officer who
comes in contact more closely with
the people than the Judge ever can,
and for that reason the people, who in
this case are represented by the law
yers, should, we suggest, be deferred
10 rs those most intimately con-
Cerned in the appointee. We
understand that Judge Jackson is
anxious 10 meet the public will in
this matter, but is met by opposition
OF a purely personal character. This
should not be permitted to weigh for
q moment as against the public wish,
No mans claims can be superior to
those of the people, especially in a
case like this, where they are almost
unanimously opposed to Clough.

ate. The speech has now rescued us
as printed for circulation, and it will
no doubt be within the resCh Of mos
Of our readers. The people Of Mistis-
sipi, who have always shown them
selves 80 anxious 10 do him honor,
will read it with pleasure and pride.
We Of Tennessee, 60 closely akin to
Mississippi in interest ard geography,
feel that we too have a right to rejoice
in his first utterancts as Senator. The
speech is wise and Thoughtful, calm,
clear aud just. The problem OF inter
state commerce must Of necessity tax
the stRtesmanship and judicial alb lity
Of this country for many years to come.
They are problems which will prove
bonds OF union even stronger than
the steel rails and water currents
which are the areries Of that com
merce, because they will compel the
study and ths appreciation Of our In
Independence IS a people. Doubt
lees railroad supervision will, among
these problems, prove the most diff
cult Of management, beth because OF
its inherent int,icacy aud because 1t is
first TO claim consideration. Gen.
Walthall leaves little room for ques-
ton as to the power in Congress and
the necessity for such supervision.
Nor dots he leave much room for ques'
ton that Federal inierposition is as
important and desirable to the rail-
roads as to the public, He
strongly presents the vast mutual
interest, aud the vast mutual obliRa-
ton. Then, too, 10 the spirit Of phil
osopher, and not in the spirit OF a pee
simist, or even Of partisan, he arrays
the springs and principles Of human
motive and action and shows that,
from the very nature Of the case, such
supervision is a mutual need. He does
not favor Federal Railroad Commits.
sion, but prefers system OF Legislative
regulation to be administered by State
ss well as Federal Courts. We cor
dislly commend the speech to the read
ing Of tho2e who may have access to it.
Whether its vie VS. and reasoning be &C.
Cepttd or not, its spirit must give
satisfaction. The speech, in its
tone and structure, gives assur.
ance that the new Southern Senator
will we'll su;tain the dignity Of the
position and the high prestige Of his
own name. The fact that he has been
80 lobg eminent as rsilroad attorney
made II proper that he should speak
now, and speak with no uncertain
sound. He evinces no hostility Ia
railroads. On the contrary, he avowt
himself their friend, as he iB the
friend OF all the good potencies in
civilization and progress. II Is from
this standp lint that he works out his
advocacy OF the "Cullom BILL" pro
viding for railroad supervision by the
Federal Government.

found by sentiment or controlled by

as the candidate FIR Governor in 1882.
The canvass Of 1880 rad reelected

Stephens, the most ilnstrious living
member OF the Old regime, was brought

a conference committee named a COM

tributs TO Maj. BacDn's strength and
excellence that, although that can

best Governors Geo 'giA has ever had,
the people have not forgotten the
claims which he had for the position,
and that the man who was fret and

has already expressed his desire 10 re-

brought upon the candidate from
