EX;G0F.. FAfRCaILD,
A DISTINGUISHED SOLDIER AND
CIVILIAN, 1s..
Spends n Day In Memphis, and Is
HOn0red by the Grand Army
of the Republic.

Ex-Governor Lucius W. Fairchild,
Commander in Chief of tbs Grand
Army Of the Republic, arrived ia the
city yesterday, accompanied by his
wife. His stay was made the occa-
sion of very pleasant reunion by old
comrades, who gathered around him
al the Peabody Hotel and talked over
old times. From u to 2 o'clock in
the psrlors of the Peabody Hotel,
there was constant stream Of Grand
Army men calling on the veteran
commander, aud he seemed quite
pleased by tie hearty and spontane-
Gus greeting rendered him. At 2
o'clock p m, accompanied by his wife
and Miss Fairchild, aud es.
corted by committed who
had carriages in readiness, he made
a tour Of various points
of interest in the city, stopping At the
Cotton Exchange and the Market
Street School. Over an hour was
spent in witnessing the various exer-
Cises in the claserooms, and the Gov
erDor and Ms. FsirChild declared
themselves as amazed at what they
raw. They were emphatic in their
assertion that in point OF proficiency
and thorough scholastic training the
pupils Of the Memphis public schools
were rot outclassed by those
Of the bsst schools in
Wisconsin. They were especially
struck by the familiar knowledge ex-
hibiied even by the pupils in the
minor grades of the geography of Ten
nessee and Shelby county, and their
natural and artificial resources. This
was feature that they declared TO be
new to them, aud ons in which they
were satisfied the children of WILSON,
sin were deficient. Mrs. Fairchild de-
clared Ter determination TO put her
own children to the test on this point
as soon rs she returned to her
home. After leaving the school
the party drove around the city,
viewing points of special interest and
beauty, and at o'clock pr the Gov
ernor and bis wife and daughter de-
parted for Little Rock, Ark, regret
ting that they were unable to prolong
their stay here.
at Lite Rock the members OF the
Grand Army of the Republic have
made extensive preparations to re-
ceive the Governor. The several posts
met Thursday uight and concluded the
details. Outside of the Grand Army
people he will receive cordial vel
come, especially by the many people
resident there who were formerly Citi-
zens of Wisconsin. No political feel
lrg will enter into the reception.

the work, 1.-THE Chinese at Home and
Abroad" making il a misdemeanor, with
q heavy penalty attached, to continue
holding sand-lot neetiDgs, which have
done so much to create a false impression
in the East by making it appear the only
persons in this city opposed to the Chinese
were sandlotters. Farwell read a letter
from Congressman Morrow, in which the
latter indicates the difficulties he has to
encounter in making eastern people COM
prehend that the real and substantial SEN
timent of the Pacific Coast is ti-Chi-
nese. and that the efforts of the people of
the Coast to settle this question are neither
~incendiary nor violent. Morrow points
out that it will be q hard matter to amend
the existing Restriction Act unless the Pa
cifc Coast congressional delegates are able
to give assurance that the people engaged
in this agitation will be content with legal
methods in the settlement Of the Chinese
question.
