1t is many years since the Marble
Heart was given in Memphis, and then
1t was under circumstances with sur

for the theater and treasure the
triumphs Of exceptional dramatic
companies. But these, II any were

Of well worn play, must be Judged
OF by their discovered merits, aided by
such canons OF criticism as are
accepted by profession and public
alike and by the standards which
nature herself sets up, aud which are
unvarying in type and Strength OF

Mr.. James d. Spain, oil Palo Pinto
county, Tex, is in the city In the in
terest Of bis neighbors asking for re-
lief and aid to tide them over the win
ter and until they can make crop
next year. For fourteen months, and
until Ave weeks sgo, they were with
out rain, not even drop falling within
that time. The result was the total de-
stIuction Of their crops and ruin to
many industrious people. MIR. Spain,
who is Endorsed by Bishop McTyeire,
and is introduced in this city by Col.
Josiah Patterson, asks for clothing end
food, but il money is rendered will be
grateful for it. The condition of the
people OF Palo Pinto is one Of extreme
destitution and utter want and their
needs aud Necessities are pressing and
core. We appeal to the people OF
Memphis in their behalf. We appeal
earnestly, and trust that some OF the
more charitable citizens will make 1t
their business 10 assist Mr.. Spain in
securing contributions for che instant
relief Of the people he represents.

MONOPOLIEs AND COTTON
PLAUTRRR.

The opening OF the cotton season
brings out from the growers expires
slons Of strong anxiety as to the price
OF cotton seed. They view the doings
OF the OIL Trust Company with strong
suspicion. They regard 1t ss q monop-
oily. that will deprive the owners of the
cotton seed Of the advantages OF com.
petition among the mills, leaving
them at the mercy Of q combination
that can fix their own price to suit
their own interests. The company In
dignantly deny the charge Of monop-
oily. They assert that the large profits
drst obtained for Heel oil tempted to
the building Of so many mills and led
to competition 80 ruinous that only
by combination could extensive bank.
ruptcy be escaped. The cotton grow
ers say they ought not to be made to
suffer because cotton mills were built
imprudently, and that such q COM
bination as now exists, however fairly
begun, always ends in oppression, to
the loss Of both producers and con.
sumers, The New Orleans Times
brings forward Edward Atkinson's
proposition that the cotton growers
shall combine and build mills Of their
own. II there are already too many
mills, How can building more remove
the difficulty? II might be well to
conddsr whether efforts should not bb
made to procure the invention Of
Hinple mode Of pressing the seed en-
the plantation, and selling the crude
oil to the refners. The crushed seed
not pressed into cake would be rich
fertiliser for the land. This would be
following the example Of the sugar
grower, who presses and boils the
crop he grows, selling the product to
the rehner. Whatever is done, the
cotton grower must beware Of allow
ing his land to deteriorate. Better put
she seed In the burrows and profit by
the increased yield Of cotton than to
let the seed 90 at inadequate prices
and lose in cotton production into the
bargain. To lose in seed and lose in
cotton by cultivaling soil that has be-
come sterile, would bring ruin, wheth-
or there be an oil trust company or
not.

1t is gratifying to see that the gov.
ernment Is taking steps TO withdraw
"unearned" lands from railways that
desire to retain them without earning
them. Is not such retention theft A
company undertakes to build a given
road and Congress grants it certain
lands to help the work. The work Ia
not cone, yet the company s'aims the
land as their own. Is this not obtain
ing property on false pretenses9 But
stealing and false pIetsnse flching are
crimes. and they who are proved to
have committed these crimes are sent
to the penitentiary, and however Cul-
tured or refined are forever excluded
from any society that respects itself.
How is it these land stealers are not
sent where other thieves goP If they
steal enough to become rich they can
enter society that would never

their former fortune. How shall
we account for this differ

when he says: "0ne murder makes

CHURCHILL As A STATESMAN.
England has got a coming man."
Lord Churchill. From the beginning
Of his public career until now he was
regarded as a Eighty and rather
leather Drained young fellow, without
solidity, or balance, or settled opin-
ions. Since he has been in office,
however, he has developed more vlgor
OF thought and more consistency Of
purpose than he had been given credit
for, and this without losing his dash
and audacity. Something Of Disraeli's
qualities Is imputed to him. He ap-
pears at least to possess that states
mans Indifference to mere precedent
and routine, and to be ready, II need
be, to advocate measures hitherto
utterly foreign to his party, II by so
doing power can be secured TO that
party. This was what Disrse'i did
when he led the Tories to increase
the suffrage, a measure that
party had always regarded with
horror 1t results from his
character that nothing can be judged
Of his future career. Increase Of
power may 6.e bis Imagination and
beiray him into Improbable folllee,
or a sense Of the responsibility Of
power may sober his fights and

to party bonds does not appear likely
to trouble him with any scruples
about consistency, when events call
