An official high in authority says that at no time
in the history of the Pennsylvania Company have
the affairs Of the indianapolis division moved as
smoothly as under the present division man
agement. Superintendent Turner lis operating
the road on an economical basis, without i'm
pairing the service, and has become very popular
with the men under him. while Harry Miller, the
engineer OF the maintenance of way. although
young man, has shown as much ability in carry
ing on needed improvements as would a veteran
in the service. On the Indianapolis division
wooden and iron structures are being rapidly re-
placed with solid stone arches, with an ample
room for the water to flow freely, and the road
bed, in every respect is being put in condition
to compare favorably with the best divisions

There is excellent authority for stating that
whenever the Chicago division of the Wabash
road is sold, the Atchinson, Topeka q
Santa Fe will be in the field as bidders. One
who is well informed says all talk that the Bee
line is to be consolidated with the Lake Shore
is without foundation. 1t is highly probable
that closer traffic agreement will be entered
into, which will be of great advantage to both in
terests; nothing further. The same authority
expresses the opinion that it would be grand
thing to consolidate the two roads, he claiming
that in no case has there failed to be benefits
derived through the consolidation of roads No
instance can be named he states, wherein it has
brought injury to the people at large In any ma
rerial interest while in many cases consolida-
ton has brought about more and better facil-
ties and lower rates.

GEN. CATCHINGs. Democratic csndi-
date for Congress in the Third Missis-
sippi (Shoe-string) District, was in the
city yesterday and received much at
tention from oar leading merchants,
who know how to value the services
of Congressman who, while he re-
spects the constitution and believes
in State rights, is not SO sentimental
strict constructionist as to refuse ma.
tional aid for such public work as will
directly bsneft the people he repre-
sants. To Gen. Cathings's energetic
efforts We in this part of the Missis-
sippi Valley lsrgely owe it that the
appropriation bill passed at the lsst
session OF Congress contained anything
like sums adequate to the continuance
of the work necessary for the protection
OF this harbor and initiate the much
needed work OF saving the banks along
the Mississippi rim OF tho Ysz1o
basin. A friend TO Memphis, we are
directly interested in his election, for
which our merchants engaged in the
Yazoo bottom trade should contributs
all they can.

To the Editors of the Appeal:

In behalf of many citizens, / write
to ask you to agitate the question of having
the city fathers tax Q down the railing around
Court Square. This woul abolish Rogers,
his bear and his bell and afford the, people
the freest access to the only resting place in
the city. CITIZEN.
"CitiIen" is wrong go far as Sergt'
Rogers is concerned. He is encour-
aged to make crossroads menagerie
OF the peoples "onlY resting place."
and is, therefore, not to be blamed.
And go, also, in regard to the ear split
ting bell, which he rings sometimes at
9 o'clock to warn unoffend-
ing citizens 10 leave the Square.
He commits that nuisance by
authority. Rogers is all right. 1t is
his immediate employers who are
wrong aud responsible. As to the
taking down of the railing, stsp wal
taken to that end by the Taxing Dis
trict government, but only step, and
q lame one at that. 1t ought to be
taken down and four or five dozen
more seats be placed in the walks
fer the benefit of the people. There
should never be lock or key on the
Square, which at night is so brilliantly
Lighted by electric lights as to bring
every inch of it into the plain view Of
every pedestrian.

YAzoo CRY, MISS, October Sat
6 o'clock yesterday evening Charles

fame of Nellie Lawrence (white), in

Donald had shot Nellie twice, once in
the neck and just below the left nip
pie, then put the pistol to his head
ana shot himself through the right
temple, dying instantly. Nellie died
this morning a, 4 o'clock. McDonsld's

[Mr. Mcdonald was the son of Maj.

The President, a telegram elsewhere

The President, telegram elsewhere
published tells US, has got his back
up, and intends TO remove three Fed
ersl Office holders, one each in Indian
apollo, New Orleans and somewhere in
Wisconsin, who are reported TO
have taken a leading part at
political conventions and in party
management in defiancs of the pro
visions of the civil service law. Ia
this Mr.. Cleveland is right, and if he
shall remove the recusant Office hold
ers he will be applauded and indorsed
by the vast majority Of the American
people. The whole tendency OF what
is called party management is to
foist men into Office who are
willing to be tbs tools of the man
ayers and thus perpetuats a vicious
system, by which the people are often
defeated of their purpose in the selec-
ton of worthy and we'll qualified
men. No man Of real and positive
ability and possessed of becoming
pride-no man with the inde-
pendence that springs from sbso-
Lutte knowledge - would willingly
owe his advancement TO any such ar
bitrary and usnrping power, and every
such man would gladly see such com
binations broken up aud the people
freed from the involuntary servitude
to which they subject them. The pun
ishment of Federal officials who take
part in politics as managers is a first
step to that end, and it cannot be too
soon taken.

CovINGToN, TENN, October Sin
accordance with previous arrange
ments the ci izens of Tipton county
had an opportunity of listening for
one hour and half 10 lucid and elo-
auent speech, made yesterday after.
noon by Ex-Gov. Marks, upon the is
sues of the day. Hastily running over
the early history of the Republic, he
proved that from Washington to Henry
Clay all the Presidents, except John
Adams, were in favor of maintaining
the Constitution of the United S ates
intact and epotless as when it came
from the press, end not willing under
the insdious attacks of the Federalilts.
That document under which we all
live and move, and have our being
that graod Old safeguard of our liber-
ties-remained pure and unbroken un-
til the year 1861, when the hobby
horse of abolition carried the Repub-
licans into power. According to the
doctrines OF all the sod worthless" the
Blair b Il is unconstitutional, as Con-
gress has no power to vote a dollar of
the p ople's money for any purpose
not specified in the constitution. The
attempt of the Federalists to found
a university in the District of
Columbia was failure because the
public welfare did not apply 10 it in
that case; neither does it apply today
to the provisions Of the Blair bill. If
it was legal and right it would he
dangerous to accept it, because it
would open the way for Federal inter-
ference with State rights, and the
hatred of the Northern Republicans to
a solid South would lead them to de.
cree that all free schools should be on
an equality, open alike 10 black and
white, and if the whites did not like
the arrangement they could send their
children to other schools and psy for
them. For one hour the cry of "Wolf
wolfl' made the courthouse ring.
And the ely and poisonous sting of
the scorpion was secreted in every
dollar Of the seventy-one millions GER
erously offered the South to help to
dispel the gloom end darkness sur
rounding her at the present moment.
1t is strangely remarkable to observe
how easy it is for come philosophers
to be able TO see the dangers that are
merely visionary and remote, and yet
shut their eyes 10 the breakers dash
ing against the bow Of the ship telling
Of rocks ahead. They are like the
dogs OF Rome-ihey are poor watch
dogs-and it may be that the geese

that IL required considerable effort on
his part to speak.
At the conclus on Of his speech the
Hon. r. L. Taylor wa5 presented a
beautiful bouquet of white flowers by
Miss Este Stevens, one of Dyersburg's
prst!iest girls, and Col. Tsylor's re-

The little children of Miss Trous-
dale's kindergarten school presented
the two brothers with a double
bouquet of red and white roses, and
Col. Bob Taylor paid glowing
tribute to the purity and innocence Of
childhood.
All in all, it was a pleasant day for
everybody, and Democrats and Re-

with their representatives., and the re-
spect shown each party and each can
