THOUGH lats in the day we repro
.duce from the Mississippi Valley Medi-
cal Monthly, of September, an editorial
article upon the condition of the City
Hospital, that unless our Taxing Dis
trict authorities hides are
thicker than that Of the rhi-
noceros, mus! go far to effect
ing much needed reform.
Communities are largely judged nova
days by the condition Of their ele-
mosynary institutions, by their pro-
vision for the helpless poor, for the
deaf and dumb, the blind and for the
sick. For these unforlunates Shelby
county has done much, but not all
that she should. Yet she is tar
ahead Of the city which has
always looked upon the hospital az a
burden to be begrudgingly borne.
What our medical contemporary Gays
is, We are ashamed t, say, true, and
we are only surprised that the
Medical Faculty in body
has not long since presented the
tumble-down concern to the Grand
jury as the disgrace it is. And, by the
way, it is good time again to COM
mend the Hospital to the attention OF
the good Christian women who are
anxious for humanitarian work, and
to urge upon them to cooperate with
the doctors in etfecting the needed re-
form.

"OUR BoB," before he left the Pea.
body Hotel yesterday for Ripley, re-
ceived the congratulations OF the lead
ing Democrats of the city, who were
very much taken with him, indeed,
completely captured. He has made
an indelible impression here as he has
wherever he has spoken, and the
opinion was freely ventured that
he is today the strongest
man for the soon-to-be va
cant United States Senatorship. 1t
is true of politicians, as of other per-
sons, that, ss Burns said, "Ihe best
laid plans of mice and men al; gang
aglee." Bob was nominated for Gov
ernor in order to get him out of the
way as a candidate for the Senate, but
his close and popular canvass has
forced him upon the attention of the
people as the sb,est and most
available of all our Democratic leaders
for that place. He has not himself
said word looking to that end, but
the people have quietly determined to
make him their candidate. He is a
young and progressive Democrat, and
is not too, too strict constructionist.

A Democratic Candidate for the
Blair Bill.

Nashville Bdnner: Col. ]. J. Turner,
of Galatin, who has announced him
self candidate for Congress in the
Fourth District, made speech in
Lebanon yesterday, in which he took
a strong and positive position in ad-
vocacy of the Blair educational bill.
Aside from any considerations of the
merits OF the educational question, it
is refreshing to fad a prominent
Democrat who has the boldness and
the courage OF his convictions to take
a stand in favor of a measure which is
opposed in chorus by the politicians
who have become conspicuous by
their candidacy for office, and who
have so rapidly and unresistingly
fallen into the rut cut out by Senator
Harris. The machine organs and can
didatorial chorus have ra sed great
hulla-balloo shout the "unconttitu.
tionality" OF the Blair bill, and are
now vociferously denouncing it as
"Republican tries" and a dire and
dark design to wipe out the States
and change our form OF government,
and ell that sort of thing Of cou 50
the machine will now suspect Col.
Turner's Democracy, notwithst snding
the fact that nineteen Of the ablest
and mostapproved Dem cratic Senator'S
voted for the Blair bill and only six
voted against il. If we ere to accept
the arguments presented ia Tennessee
against the B'air bill by the candida.
torisl chorus, the nineteen Democratic
Senators who voted for the measure
must be idiots or fools, or deep dyed
and designing Republicans ia Disguise
And yet, it may be expected by those
who are not thoroughly prejudiced
and who are not dazed by the con-
tinuous buzz OF the Office bee, that
possibly such men as Garland Of
Arkansas, Lamar of Mississippi,
Hampton OF South Carolina, Jackson
of Tennessee, and other men like
them of national reputation who sup
port the Blair bill ara not altogether
ignoramusss, nor dark and desiguful
Repub leans in disguise. 1t might
indeed be possibly suspected that
these men are Democrats quite as in
telligent and quite as competent to
investigate the constitutional bearings
of the question of Federal aid as are
the able Marks, the able House, the
able William, and the able candidates
for Congress who are losing sleep over
the terrible thought of the wiping out
of State lines and the establishment
of centralized oligsrchy in this once
fair aud happy republic!

CHATTANOOGA, TENN., DC obsr GA
fashionable wedding occurred here
today, being the marriage Of Mr.. n.
Flag Hezelhurst, president of the
Lookout Rolling Mill Company, to
Mi 8 Mary Griffis, the accom-
plished daughter of Jpo. G. Gritfis, a
wealthy and prominent citizen Of this
city.
As the first step toward parma-
nently improving the streets Of
Chattanooga, contract was made
with the agent of the Atlanta Granite
Company for laying sections OF Broad
and Eighth streets with granite
blocks, the work to be com
menced at once aud finished
within thirty days. This will mark
a new era in street paving in this city.
A contract was let today for the
erection in this city Of $50, 1000 church

masonry for which is now ready and
the work on the superstructure will

WE appeal to the Taxing District
Council, which meets today, to make
some provision for having our streets
cleaned. They are filthy beyond ex-
preston, and the sidewalks are an
abomination, especially to women.
The cost Of two or three street sweep
ing machines is not very great, not
beyond the reach of the sani-
tary fund Of the District treasury.
Under proper management they could
be used every night to sweep the
principal business streets at least and
greatly add to the comfort of pedes'
trians and to the relief of store keep
ers, who have their stocks more or less
injured by clouds of dust, which
cannot be entirely escaped by sprin-
king. Above all things it would tend
to relieve the people from the doses of
powdered horse manure tinctured
with uric acid, which find their way
to almost every breakfast and dinner
table.

leave the engines at Stilwel's
mines. The strikers have conducted
the operations quietly and orderly. 1t
is thought the miners will gain at least
a small increase on the price now
paid for mining coal, and that further
trouble will be permanently averted.
Trouble between. the free and con-
vict labor now employed in the differ
ent mines here has CAUSED frequent
appeals to the State for aid, and if an
amicable arrangement can be reached
now the trouble will be az an end un-
til the meeting Of the Legislature in
January, when an effort is to be made
to have the convicls removed from the
mines and the labor now performed
by this class Of uufor oates will re-
vert to its rightful hands-free labor.

COLUMBUS, Miss ,Octooer 6.-Messrs.
w. +. Skunk and g. Rawn arrived
here this morning, having come over
the proposed lima of the N. j. & 9.
r. r from Jacs SOD, making recon-
noisance, having left Jackson ia t
Saturday morning. They found more
feasible route than any hitherto exam
ined. 1t passes to the south and west
of BIanden, entering Leake county
near Walnut Grove, nearing Dixon
and passing a little to the south of
Philadelphia, in Neehoba county,
thence TO Macon, from there 10 Col
umbus, from Macon to Jackson. The
line is very direct, almost an air line
from Macon to Columbus. Mr.. Skunk
is the consulting engineer, and it was
under his direction that the Manbat-
tan system of elevated railway in New
York was built. He will not return
over the proposed route The survey
will be made by Mr.. Rawn. They
found the route a most feasible one,
the only heavy work being between
Winstonville and Macon, and not as
heavy as was expected. From Macon
to Columbus the work is light, except
at crossings at rivers and bayous.
Columbus seems to be awaking to the
fact that now is the time for her to be-
stir herself if she wants to keep pace
with other promising towns of the
State. With the Georgia Pacific COM
pleted to Birmingham, the NatC hez
Jackson and Columbus and the branch
of the Illinois Central both running,
sbe will be quite railroad center.
Several articles have ap cared in
our local papers recently looking TO
the 'ablishment of a cotton factory
here, which, with our improved rail-
read prospects, will give Columbus
quite boom.
DR.. s. S. franklin, one OF our oldest
and most prominent citizens, died yes
terdsy morning, after an illness of sev-
ersl weeks. He has been a citizen OF
Columbus FOR over ffty wears.

A Republican Prohibition COnven-
tiOn.
ESPECIAL TO THE APPEAL.I !

NASHVILLE, Tenn, October 6.-The
Republican County Convention tcdsy
was well attended, but full of the
usual disorder. John j. L;ttleton,
who is a pronounced Prohibitionist,
presided. Whisky men had secured
number OF proxies from country dis
tricts, but Lit'leton's influence ex-
cluded all proxies. The Committee
on Resolutions reported brief resolu-
tiops indorsing the National and State
platforms, the report being signed
by seven of nine members. Two Of
the commiitee reported a strong SUBJ
mission resolution. The majority re-
port was adopted. Gen. George
Ma ey was nominated joint Senator,
James Trimble Senator, and Ex-Msr-
shal G. N Til.man, H. A. Haas ack,
George Fletcher, W. F. Harrington
and D. r. W. A. Hadley (colored)
for Representatives. Harrington is a
labor candidate for Senator, and was
becoming popular opponent Of
Slowey, the whisky mems Democratic
nominee. 1t is strongly talked
that Maury, who is q friend OF the
whisky men, was nominated to beat
Minis, Trimble TO be beaten by Slowey,
Harrington being taken out of the
way. Collusion OF the whisky men
with Republican leaders is slso
charged. ss matters have strange
smell for the wo,k OF Prohibition
crowd. J. II. Nye, of Chestbam, WAS
recommended for Congress.
