The New Renublican Move.

The anti-saloon movement of the Re-
publicans, OF which the very recent con-
vention in Chicago was the outcome, Is
nothing more or less than a device TO at
tempt to stop the losses from the Repub-
! lican ranks and the accessions of Re-
publicans to the prohibition party. The
movement is said 20 be Endorsed by all
the party leaders, and the fact that its
main feature is the fighting, or rather
smothering, of the temperance question
Inside the Republican party shows that 1t
is nothing else but a scheme 10
help hold a rapidly dissolving party to-
gether little longer, or until something
may occur to lift it again into power
and give it a new lease OF life.
The Republican party has been placed
in very unenviable position by its du-
plicity on the liquor question, and its
leaders are wise enough to see that I'M
less some device is invented that will en-
able it 20 straddle the question more
semblance OF influence.
But why should this convention be held
in the Northwest, and in the metropolis
of State which is not only Republican
State, but is very largely interested in
the manufacture and sale of liquor? The
answer appears to be easy. 1t is not only
to counterfeit the growing influence of the
Prohlbitionists, but to divert attention
from the great issue on which the North
west must inevitably be brought over
to the Democracy. That is the tariff
question. There is no doubt that
to-day the North west is in sentiment
solidly opposed to the continuation of the
high protective tariff. 1t is not favorable
to free trade but to tariff reform and re-
believing that had the Democratic party
adhered rigidly in it's last national plat
form to the view Of the tariff question eX-
pressed 80 unequivOcally in the platform
of1S16,and showed an intention to fufllits
pledges, that more than one OF the Repub-
Iican States of the North W est would b ave
selected Democratic electors In 1884.
That they did not do so may be charged
to the high tariff faction OF the Demo-
cratic party, which prevented the party
from fulfilling its pledges.
This anti-saloOn movement, however,
cannot be considered Of any very great
Importance. Its objects are so apparent,
and its originators evidently so insincere,
that it must fail of accomplishing any,
thing of consequence. Perhaps we
may have occasion to record the
organization in the near future of saloon
Republicans also, as well as Of Free
Trade Republicans, all. however, pledged
to support the Republican nominees.
The Prohibitionists do not seem to fear
that these anti-Ssloon Republicans will
be able to "thrOw cold water" on their
prospects, although their prospects are
not even now any too fattering.

Hon. Peter Turney, just chosen Chief
Justice of Tennessee, commanded the
'original First Tennessee Regiment" as
distinguished from Manney's First Ten
nessee, which went through the war in
the army of Northern Virginia. The
regiment, LOO strong, organized at Win
chester, rendered it's services direct to the
Confederacy, aud went to Richmond be-
fore Tennessee seeded. Col. Turney was
desperately wounded at the battle OF
Fredericksburg, the ball entering the
centre OF his upper lip and coming out
almost in the centre at the back of his
neck. After his partial recovery he was
made commandapt at Tallahassee, Fla.
He has been on the Supreme bench OF
his State ever since the Republicans were
driven from power. ChlefJustice Turpey
is a splendid specimen OF manhood, being
large, well-proportoned and a per-
feet blonde. Ho is as able on the bench
as he was gallant on the field of battle.

The Empty Nest.

FFO7R Our LITTLE Ones.
We found it under the apple tree,
Torn from the bough where it used to
swing,
Softly rocking it's babies three,
Nestled under the mothers wing.
This is a leaf all shriveled aud dry,
That once was a canopy overhead;
Doesn't 1t almost make you cry
To look at the poor little empty bed9
All the brides have flown away;
Birds must fly, or they wouldn't have wings;
Don't you hope they'll come back some day?
Nests without brides are lonesome things.
Deep in the mothers listening heart
Drops the prattle with sudds IN sting,
For lips may culver and tears may start;
But BIRDS must fly, or they wouldn't have
wings.

A Strange Sight in Charleston.

After the fire on King street broke out Tues
day night, when the whole OF the lower ward
housetOps were Illuminated. q strange thing
was seen. On the top OF the ruins OF the
porch of the Main sta ION was seen cross,
the emblem of Christianity, which shone
with resplendent brightness. There never was
cross on the building as far as known, ana
tentlon as it stood out of the ruins. A police
man-it is needless to say that he was an
lrishman-pointedt TO 1t, and said, as he UNI
covered his head, at is that that saved u.s."
The escape Of the policemen who we're not on
duty is certainly remarkable. There were
thirty men sleeping in the upper story of the
building, which. together with the porch, is
q complete wreck.
