REFUGE.

Some Structures About Scan.
dal Mongers.

The ladies in charge of the Mission
Home had their attention called yes
terdsy TO the ease of degrading de.
piavity revealed in the APPEAL yes
terday morning, and it is reported
that they will at once take measures
to snatch the girl, If possible,
like a brand from the burning
fIom the pit into which she
has fallen. M S. Seward, the
mother of the child, wss at the Station
House yesterday and had some con-
versstion with Sergt. Scott, to whom
the warrant had been given, but has
taken no further steps in the matter
and no arrests have been made.
A Court House official, in discussing
the affair yesterday, said he had heard
OF two similar cases within the past
month. In one instance two half
grown, lazy brothers and q drunken
father were supported on the price of
their sisters shame.
"There is entirely too much Of that
variety of tue spice Of life sIouud here
for a city CT the s.zs Of Memphis"
said a leading attorney, Something
should be done ID check it, We have
a society or two here whose purpose it
is to look after such thing, but their
means are limited and they cannot do
fs much as they would If they were
supported by the business community
the men who have wives ard daugh-
ters as well as money. A reputation
for that sort of thing is not a savory
one for any city. 1t is to be expected
in great centers like New York and
Chicago, but Memphis is compare
lively a village yer, and about one
case every ten years would be her full
plo rata. There is another class Of
scandals 10 which the shotgun might
be used with good effect. A few well
| directed loads OF blue whistlers would
DO an immense amount Of good.
Nothing checks such things like the
fear OF cold lead. The danger Of mere
discovery may be lun, but when it is
understood that discovery and death
are likely to come together, thers
will be an improvement in
the morals Of the commuui y.
A young man who recently came
here to accept a c'erkship in one OF
the railroad offices. said he was de-
lighted with Memphis in every respect
but one-there was too much gossip.
Why he said, Il can't walk half a
dozen blocks that fomebody don't
mention a scandal. 1t makes no dif-
ference whether you want to hear
such things or not. There is a certain
set which insists upon repeating them,
and they ara bold about it, too. The
young men are not as bad as the older
ones, and they do not hesitate to give
names, men, women and all con-
cerned. 1t is a wonder 10 me bow

WINNING NO FAVOR.
Bitter Opposition of Laboring Men
to Blaine.

Mr.. Blsine's performances in Maine
do not appear to be winning fer him
any favor in the ranks Of organized la
Dor. The Cleveland Labor Chronicle
cruelty asks him to give the present
price OF Little Rock bonds, suggesting
that he Ia probably "bstter posted on
railroad securities than on the labor
question"
The same p7p'r prints conspicuous
ly on its editorial page a letter signed
"a Mechanic" and addressed to Mr..
Blaine, which is a sharp criticism of
the Ssbsgo Lake speech. "A Mechsn-
ic" reminds Mr.. b aine OF toe frequen-
CIV with which he has sought a nomi-
ration for the Presidency, and admits
that he has y light TO keep on seekirg
but he 10 Is him bluntly That "the ne
gro issue, the bloody shirt the tariff
and the 'taHy' thrown QUITO the Irish"
will have no weight in the next Pfesi-
dental struggle.
Replying to Mr.. Blaiue's remark
that there was no allusion to a pro-
teCtive tariff in the platform Of the
Knights OF Labor, "a Mechanic" tells
the Maine politician that a very large
percentage Of the workingmen ARE
really indifferent TO the sort OF pro-
lection you have baen advocating.
They begin to think that protection
does not protect in the degree you
have 80 frequently ard valiantly
maintained" This is Fl manifest, the
writer thinks, that he wonders that
Mr,lBlaine has not seen it.
In reply to Mr.. Blaine's query IS to
the ability Of the Northern workman
to compete with ba'f psid labor in the
South, ga Mechanic" asks, Yankee
fashion, another question, and that is
how the Northern mechanic and
Southern negro together are to C m.
pete with the horde Of foreigners de-
ceived into coming to this country by
the protected manufacturers. The
writer says thai II Mr.. Blaine will
ansN or the latter question, be will en-
deavor TO answer the other. "a
Mechanic" winds up by bluntly in
forming Mr.. Blaine that he is behind
the times, and by advising him to
come out Of the Maine woods and
find out what are the living Issues
that now interest men.
1t must be borne in mind that this
appears in an OHIO paper that advo-
Gates the formation of a labor party.
1t is not a Democratic attack on the
Plumed Knight, but organized labor's
response to his latest appeal. II is not
encouraging to Mr.. Blaine, and is OF q
nature to make protectionists very I'M
happy. 1t demonstrates, also, the ut
ter folly Of the sacrifice Of Democratic
principles to the notion that reduction
OF the tariff would be resented by the
workinRmen,-New York Star.

CRY OF MEXICO, September 16.-ln
his annual message to Congress, read
en- the Resembling of that body. TO-
day, President Disz said that Mexico's
relations with foreign governments
had continued generally on terms OF
friendship aud good understanding.
There had, however, recently occurred
an incident which threatened to de-
ct oy the harmony and cordialitv ex-
istiDg between this Republic and its
northern neighbor. A case of small
importance in itself, it excited in an
unexpected manner, and, owing to a
c)njunct on Cf circumstances, the pas
sions on either side OF the Rio Grande.
81 REFER" continues the message,
ITO the matter Of the American jour
nalist, which has already come to your
knowledge by publications made in
the DiariO 06ieiel. We must congrat-
ulste ourselves that in such an emer.
ger cy the dignity If the government
and the good name Of the country
could be saved without 8 serious con-
flict. Thanks to the President and to
the strictly legal conduct OF the courts
and authorities of the State OF
Chihuahus, as vel as to the good sense
of our own people and the govern
ment Of the United States which, when
better informed, did not insist on its
demand, which gave riee to this tran
sient difficulty. Texas papers have on
this account alluded TO other causes OF
alleged outrage on citizens OF that
country by officials Of our own. In
their eagernts5 to accumulate charges
against Mexico, they have referred mic,
takenly to the case Of an individual
named Francisco Arraseures, the au-
thor OF various crimes committed IN
our territory. 1t will suffice to assert
that be was of Mexican nationality,
and was voluntarily delivered by the
Texas authorities to a force OF the
State OF Coahila without any previous
demand for his extrrditioD, 80 that In
this case it will be seen that as re-
CARDS this supposed citizen OF the
United States there is no occasion Tor
controversy between the two govern
ments."

There was a large crowd present, it
being fair holiday in the city, and the
ludicrous houndering of the players
evoked much mirth among the audi
ence. In the seventh inning the home
team concluded to give up their
chances OF winning, as they were far
behind, and the game was called with
a score OF 7 TO 2 in favor Of the visit

for the State Senate: That the Assess

that a more efficient lien law could

would have full guarantee for its

security; also, that the present privi-
lege taxes on merchants and other
legitimate business pursuits is. wrong

ished; that our road laws should be

Instructions have been received
here by the various passenger agents
to the effect that Arbitrator Wilson, OF
the Southern pool, had ruled that all
baggage should be checked to the
point designated on tickets sold, no
matter OF what class they may be.
This ruling is considered to be an i'm
position on passengers who may de-
sire to stop en- route on unlimited
tickets. Thus a person may purchase
a ticket for New York, but may desire
to stop over for a day or more at
some other city, and in such event his
trunk would be sent on through to
New York, and passenger agents
would not be allowed to check bag
gage to any point except to New York,
the point mentioned on the ticket
Parties, therefore, would have no or
portunity of changing clothes until
they reached their destination.
