FROM THE PEOPLE.
The Criminal Court JudgeshIP and
Attorney GeneralshiP.
To the Editors of the Appeal:

Your editorial in Sundays paper
appealing 10 the cit zens OF Shelby
County to select the best men r
Attorney General and Criminal Court
Judge, deserves and doubtless re-
ceives the approval and thanks of
every lover OF his country. 1t has
about il the true ring Of sincerity and
truth, and you will not do g eater
benefaction to our people than to pub
lish repeated articles of this sort TO
tone up the public sentiment to the
importance of this quest on of select
ing proper men to fill these posts, and
to impress upon the people
the deep responsibility OF select
ing tn ese officers. At this time the
city of Memphis is attrac iog unusual
attention as a center Of trade and com.
mtrce, and it will be to us a disgrace
full reflection to have the Criminal
Court of the city pointed at and
sneered at for the loose and shameful
administration of law, to say nothing
OF the injustice to our people to have
such impositions inflicted upon them.
What mus our neighb RS think of us
when the laws affecting life, liberty
and decency are represented in the
court rooms by men whose personal
life is Oily a sham for virtue
and morality. And how can the law
be administered by one whose mex
perience and want Of ability forbid
any assn ance of success Some peo-
pie are care less and indifferent to an
extent that is marvellous about these
things. They seem to be willing, either
from personal favor or to pay off some
political score, to dump of into the
Criminal Court almost any kind OF a
man. They lend their aid or influence
without moments inquiry or care as
to results. The old Democratic rule,
SIS he honest? Is he capable?" is for
gotten by many Democrats, and the
only gu stion seems to b. as
to whether the offic, shall
be given for political services rem
dered, or TO show personal favor. II
this is the rule pursued by the Demo
cratic party, we may expect defeat
for our ticket, Nothing will or ought
TO save it
Press these and such sentiments Oh
our peop'e, Mr.. Editor, in time to in
fluenoe better sentiment before oui
nominating convention meets.

BUSINESS TROUBLES.
Triple Assignment az I.ouisviIIe.

Triple Assignment nc IsOuiNviIIe.
LOUISVILLE, KY, May l7.--Busness
circles we're started this afternoon BY
a triple assignment Of the firms Of
Davis, TrRbue & Co., Wholesale dealers
in cottons; TrsbUe, Davis 4 Co.,
cotton factors, and Davis, Mallory *
Co, wholesale dealers in dry goods
and potions at 7g5 and 7ly Yves. Msiu
street. The three houses are inter-
connected. The members OF the ffst
npme ed firm are w. A. Davis, Richard
Trabue and Samuel T. Mallory; Of the
second, James Trabue, deceated, W.
A. Davis aud Richard Trabue, ana OF
the third, S. T. Mallory and W. A
Davis. 10 addition TO TIE three firms
assignment, kess,s. 8. I. Mallory Rich
ard Trabue and W. A. BGyis make iEdi.
yi6ual assignments. The Rsaignees
are Judge Alexander Humphrey and
Gel. 81. Johu Poyle. The liabih ties
are from $4,000 toEsi50,000. 1t is
claimed the assets are sufficient to
cover this. The assignment Is sup
posed to have been caused by slow
payments in the South, where nearly
ell the firms debtors are located.
This creditors are pri0cipally in the
East. 1t is not thought that the liza
bilities OF Davis, Mallory 4 Co. will
exceed 100000, but those Of Trabue
& 90, will % mnch higher.

the STATE OF TRADE.

The outlook grows more enoouTag-
ing. The report OF tina weekly elearings
for last week shows an increase Of 1913
per cent. over those OF the week pre-
vioup, which, II will be Temembe ed,
were over $500, 100000 more than fer
the week before. The New York
money market reports no material
change, with a tendency to easier
ra'es, commercial paper COM
handing little better price beclufe
Of tbs small amount offering, the
Chronicle stating that, though 1.-The
city banks are not in the market,
there is a good inquiry for all the
notes that are made. This conserva-
tive course OF the banks regarding
call leans and commercial paper is in
part explained by the low safe Of the
reserve, which is more evident when
we remember that SIS per cent. OF the
present surplus is carried by
three Of these institutions; beside,
the loans are Eow $350,500,0 )0
against $500, 0l0, 900 a year ago, while
the dsposits are $S72, 900 900 against
$685., 100000" The foreign exchange
market Is reported by the Chronicle TO
have been easier and lower during the
week, aud there Is an easier feeling 90
to gold since II was ascertained that

plementipg this encouraging state Of
the money market there is the report
OF the Statistical Bureau OF Washing

month previous by $1,000, 900.
And this, 1t will be remembered, was

the delay in moving ireights conse-
quent upon the arrest OF trains at
Chicago and st. Louis aud at some
points in Texas. The stock market
shows a firmer tone and the trunk

provement in earnings. As to crops,
Mr.. Dodge, statistician Of the Agri-
cultural Department, reports winter
wheat 10 be an average yield of 81 o
as compared with 20 the year before,
and the New York Chronicle reports

. POINT rUts POLITICIANS.

Says the New York Herald OF last Fri.
day; The Court Of Appeals at Albany
has just rendered an opinion defining the
law on a point OF practical interest to
politicians and candidates. 1t 10 tho de.
cision in the suit of John Foley ct al.
against Judge Gilbert NJ. Speir. Mr..
Foley, it will be remembered, was o
leading spirit in "The Reform Associa.
ton which figured in our local politics
some years ago. and Judge speir was a
candidate for re election 20 the branch Of
the Superior Court. The latter was as
sured $1,000 as his contribution to the
"expenses" OF the association, and, as
the plaintiffs testified, agreed to pay it.
He did not, however, pay that or any
other amount, and was accordingly used
BY Foley and others acting in behalf Of
the association.
"The suit was dismissed by the lower
courts aud their view OF tho law is now
sustained by the Court Of Appeals. The
latter tribunal points ont that the pro-
visions of the Revised Statutes designed
to preserve the purity of elections make
it unlawful to contribute money to Sc.
cure the election of any candidate with
the exception Of expenses for the pur.
pose specified by the law. These are,
first, printing and distributing ballots,
handbills and other papers; second. con.
veying poor. sick or in6rm voters to the
pols.
"The claim in this case. the Court Of
Appeals finds, went beyond these lawful
objects. 1t included the rent Of rooms,
the payment of $1,000 to one of the
plaintiffs for his services in taking charge
OF the rooms aud running the associa.
tion,' and in short, anything incidental
