The Memphis appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1886-1890, 1886-03-25

THE attitude of the strikers of Liege
is warning not only to the govern
ment of Belgium but to all the others OF
Europe of what is coming il some
means of accommodating the differ
ence between labor and capital is not
at once devised. Without work they
are without money, and without
money are without the means of liv-
ing. Goaded by hunger, by want and
by destitution, the poor people have
become desperate, and in their des-
peration are striking out blindly.
This is foolish, They are throwing
away their strength, and are alarm
ing people who othel wise would
be with them. Led by unreasonable
fanatics called anarchists, they are frit-
tering away strength that they may
need later on, when the great and
final strugg G between labor and capi-
tai takes place. But then, there is also
the fearful go&dings of wives and chill
dren vainly crying forfood. Whatman
worthy the name, could close his ears
to their appeals or refuse to go to any
extent to answer them?

VesIigs ting ComBiIIee.
WASHINGTON, March 24.--The Tele-
phone Committee resumed the exam
ination of Casey Young to day. He
said, emphatically, the Attorney Gen
eral never told him or any one else
that he would bring suit against the
Bell Company. He had never spoken
TO Solicitor Goode about the Attorney
Generals departure until he had seen
it in the papers; he had never heard
that the AttOrney-Genoral Sas to
leave town in order that Goode might
bring suit. After the, Van Benthuy-
sen interview with the Attorney-Gen-
eral witness had, at Van Benthuysen's
request, written letter to the Presi-
dent appealing from the action of the
Attorney-General in refusing to have
anything to do with a telephone suit
Witness had that letter in his pocket
when he came to Washington with
Huntington, but it was never deliv-
cred, for upon their arrival they found
the Acknowledgement absent, and So
licitor-General Goode brought suit.
Prior to that he called upon Goode
and asked if the papers had arrived,
and was informed that they had not,
and left within five minutes. Senator
Harris had gone with witness to see
Goode. Next morning witness called
again, and was told by GoOde that the
papers had reached him, the papers
from the District Attorney at Mem
phis. He did not remember whether
the papers were shown to him it
ness had gone to the Department of
Justice to endeavor to have the suit
brought, as he thought it should be
brought "at our relation" His idea
was that he could better control the
suit in that form, and he did not want
it brought in the name of the govern
ment. At some time in August or
September Goode was writing the or
der to bring the suit when witness
called the second time. He did not
know that he intended to write the
letter, as he had said nothing beyond
remarking that thepapers had reached
him. Witness had intended to ask
Goode to bring the suit in the form
he desired, but upon consideration he
concluded it would not be the right
thing to do
The witness was examined at great
length, but nothing of general interest
was elected, and the committee ad-
iourned.

TIE sudden and serious prQstration
Of Secretary Manning has called out
such flattering testimony as to his
ability and fitness for the important
office he fills that all Democrats viii,
while regret.ing his Illness, rejo'ce 20
know that the man who is closest to
President Cleveland is thus 80
generally indorsed. On financial
questions he is sound, and in
the MANAGEMENT OF the Treasury
Department is noted for his economy
and for the example he sets the en-
ployes, of hard work carefully accom-
,complished. His death would be a
serious blow to the administration,
and to Mr.. Cleveland himself would
be calamity only less in degree than
that of the loss of a brother. At |
o'clock this morning he was slightly
improved, and there is some reason
TO hope for the best.

Secretary Mauninx'a CoU dItIOn.

WAsHNGToN, March 24.-At II
o'clock tonight the physicians in at
tendance upon Secretary Manning
stated that his condition was substan-
tally unchanged, although he moves
himself in his bed with rather more
ease api appears more comfortable.
His face continues flushed, however,
and his breathing labored. DR.. Lin
coin, in response to a question, said ::
at will be several days yet before all
danger passed, and several weeks
before he can safely resume work"
Although his physical speak thus
hopefully, their troubled looks nd the
great anxiety exhibited by his family
and friends indicate that his condition
is at least critical. A recurrence of
the attack of yesterday is greatly
feared, and the extreme gravity of the
case can hardly be overestimated. 1t
is impossible to ascertain from pro-
fessional sources the Secretary's true
condition, inasmuch as his physicians,
out of respect TO the wishes of the
family, decline to give detailed state
ment of the case.

Ex-PREsIDENT Arthur is "sick unto
DEATH" a disappointed man, poor,
given up to melancholy, and re-
cluse. His physicians-two of the
best in New York city-say little
about his case, but they give no
hope of his recovery. The failure of
his party to give him the chance of
another four years of fame made him
moody and distrustful. He thought
it his due, and forgot in his chagrin
that he not only did not work for the
place, but permitted no one to labor
for him who could speak with author
ity. When he returned to New York
he sought the seclusion of his own
house, and few of his old companions
have gathered about him. The social
circles that cOUrted him before and
after he was President have been de-
,nied the pleasure of his society. Dis
ease followed disappointment His
stomach first rebelled. Both the di-
gestive organs and liver failed to do
their work. Finally melancholy took
hold of this once strong man and is
now fighting to ma him it's victim.
The way of the politician is hard.

THE House OF Representatives are

by evident proof that a continuation

Saturdays debate was not an agrseable
one to the supporters OF the 3 aud

showed that the evil reEults of con-
tinued coinage, or of the unlimited d
coinage provided for in the Bland bill,
would fall with special hardship and

The whisky nrumme ers' Tax at
jackson. Miss

JACKSON, Miss, March 22.-The
whisky drummers are kicking fear
fully about the ,250 privilege tax inn
posed by the Legislature Just ad-
journed. They call it class legislation,
as other drummers are only required
to pay a tax of $25. If there is any
way to keep from paying it they will
take advantage of it. A prominent
whisky drummer took the position to-
day that the local option law would
drive whisky from two-thirds of the
towns now selling it; for, he said, if
a county votes for whisky, in large
majority of the towns there are not
the required twenty-five real estate
owners to petition the authorities to
grant the applicant license, and on
this account he did not ink whisky
drummers could afford to pay the
license. In this county, which has a
large number of towns, there are not
more thantwo which possess TWENTY
five real estate owners who would
sign the petition. Warren, Washing
ton, Lauderdale and Monroe, large
whisky selling counties, have not
more than one town each. In many
counties there is not a town with
twenty-five real estate owners.

The Situation at Kansas city.

KANSAS CRY, No., March 24.-The
statement in previous dispatch
quoting Mr.. Nettleton as saying that
the switchmens strike was settled on
basis of Chicago pric 8, was made
on authority of an evening paper. Mr..
Nettleton being interviewed later by
an Associated Press representative,
said that he had made no such state
ment. He could only say that the
strike had been settled and, that, he
presumed, was what the public de-
sired most TO know.
The terms OF settlement, as vet, are
kept secret. The men returned TO
work at Z o'clock tonight by order OF
Mr.. Monaghan, chief Of their associa-
ton, and are themselves ignorant of
the prices fixed upon. They are
known only to the officials and the
strikes' committee. II is assumed
that an advance was granted or the
committee would not have compro-
missed. The men are told that they
will know in a few days what agree
ment was made.
The idea is advanced that the off
eials hope for an early settlement OF
the Missouri Pacific strike, and con-
s-der it best 10 keep seer this settle
ment, pending the adjustment OF
existing differences elsewhere.
Freight tfsins are 10 ling in end ou I

The Cowboys.

Altogether, cowboys are whole souled large.hearted, generous class Of fellows whom it IS genuine pleas ure 10 ride with, eat with and associate with; and it is safe to say that nine tenths of the hard things that have been said of them have come from men who never knew intimately sin gle one oC them. l contend that a year spent on the hurricane deck of a cow-pony is one ot the most useful and valuable pieces of experience a young man can possibly have in fitting himself for business of almost any kind; and il l were educating a boy 10 fight the battle of life, ] would se- cure him a cowboys situation as soon as he was through with his studies at school. A term of service on a iron tier cattle ranch will take the concelt out oi any boy; It vii at the same time teach hin self reliance; It vii, teach him 10 endure hardshlpS and suffering; 1t will give hun nerve and pluck, it will develop the latent ener- gy in him to a degree that could not be accomplished by any other appren- ticeship or experience l know oI. Ma- ny of the most successful business men in the western towns oI to-day served their first years on the frontier as "cow punchers, and to tnat school they owe the frmness of character and the ability to surmount great obstacles that have made their success in life possible.
 l contend that the constant com munion with nature, the study of her broad, pure domains, the days and nights of lonely cruising and camping on the prairie, the uninterrupted com munion with and study of self which this occupation aford-, tends t O make young men honest and noble, much more so than the same men would be if deprived of these opportunities, confined to the limits of our boasted "civilzation," and compelled to con stantly breathe the air oi adroitne-s, of strategy, of competition, of sus picion and crime. If every young man reared in town or city could have the advantages of a year or two of con stant study of nature, we should have more honest men.-G. o. Shields in Harper's Weekly.
