LEGISLATION IN GERMANY
THE FEELING REGARDING THE
ANTI-SOCIALIST LAW.
The Chances Of the Liquor MOnop-
oily Bill-BOyeOtting German
Business HOnses.

BERLIN. February l3.-The question
whether the RGichstGg will pass thu
bill prolonging the operations OF the
anti-socialist law five years, which was
adopted by the Bundesrath, is one OF
the main topics underdiscussion here.
The preamble to the bill recites that
if the law has not prevented some at
tempts at outrage, il has nevertheless
ameliorated the situation since 1873
when the measure went into force
The Atitude OF the parties in the
Reichstag toward the bill is uncertain.
The members OF the centerare opposed
to the measure on principle, and II
they remain undivided the rejection
or modification Of the bill u
certain. 1t is estimated that IL the
necessary thirty Clericals will vote
with the coalition of Conservatives
and National Liberals it will enable the
bill to pass. There are no symptoms
OF division in the center, but the
government hopes that the news OF
the recent rioting in London will have
a great influence, as well as the fean
Of the center that Prince Bismarck, if
the bill should be defeated, would
make it's defeat preteXt to dissolve
the Reichstag. The Chanccllor's ro-
cent declaration that he had no inten-
ton of dissolving Parliament is under
stood to apply only in the event OF
the rejection Of the spirit monopoly bill,
and it il thought he would make thu
defeat of the anti-Socialist bill a rea-
son for dissolution. At dinner
given to him by the Conservative
members of the Reichstag recently
the Chancellor spoke freely Of the ex-
pected rejection of the spirit monop-
oily bill. He said he intended 10 in
troduce an alternative imposing a
large duty on the sale OF spirits.
EXPULSION OF THE POLES.
On a proposal in the Landtag 10 aug
ment the gendarmerie in Eastern
Prussia, the debate on the subject al
the expulsion of the Poles was re-
newcd. Herr Windthorst, the cleri-
cal leader, demanded that the gov
eminent give exact statistics regarding
the persons expelled, showing their
religion, etc. Herr Won Puttkamer,
Minister OF the Interior, refused 70
give the desired information, limiting
his reply to the statement that the
authorities had given the expelled
Poles ample time in which to arrange
their affairs.
Gen. Van Schellendori, the Minister
OF War, announced that the military
department would henceforth hold 4
firmer hand over the Polish recruits,
who, he said, would be distributed
among the regiments throughoUt the
empire.

CAPT. FOLKES
THE CANDIDATE FOR THE sU-
PREME COURT FROM MEMPHIS.
HIS Status and Position rs Presi.
dent OF the state Bar AssOcia-
tiOn-He Is the Man.

Brief mention in recent letter ID
the APPEAL, fIom Nashville, regard
ing the availability OF w. G. Folkes
for seat in the State Supreme Court,
has attracted 30 much attention that a
more extended notice Of West Ten
nessee's entry in the judicial race be-
comes necessary. Capt. Folkes is a
native Of Lynchburg, Va, and is now
in his fifty-ihird year, the early prime
of vigorous aud useful manhood.
When the wac broke out he shoul-
dered his musket and went TO the
front. In the battle OF Malvern Hill
his foot was shattered by ball, but
the wound had barely healed when he
resumed the active and hazard
ous lifs Of toldier, this time as an
officer Of staff. Coming to Memphis
in 1866 Capt. Folkes began the prac-
tice OF law, and in his quiet, unobtIu-
sive way has built up large and in
lluential circle OF friends and adj
miTers. To thoee who know him in
timately it is unnecessary to speak of
his admirable facility for the trsns-
action OF business requiring the
most careful a1dslaborious skill, his
thorough knowledge not only of law,
but of literature, and his keen insight
into the most intricate legal problems,
the result on his part of a habit, tc o
little cultivated, of proceeding in ev-
erything with the greatest GOODNESS
and elaboration. On number of &C.
casious where large interests have been
involved and the most delicate legal
points raised, he has presided as spe-
cial Chancellor, and his decisions have
always been confirmed and often COM
plimented by the Supreme Court.
That his worth is recognized by his
brothers at the bar is borne out by the
fact that he is now, aud has been for
some past, the president OF the Ten
nessee Bar Association, position to
which real merit is an essential. In a
word, Capt. Folkes is devoted heart
and soul to his profession, and il he
reaches the dignity Of Supreme Judge
will do 80 on the strength OF his legal
atialnments alone, linked Of course
with clear, logical mind, high char
acter, and the attributes which go to
make the man and not the politician
"a word which has already exercised
too great influence in the judiciary not
only of Tennessee, but OF the whole
country.

times when visiting him at his head

MEMPHIS APPEAL.
THE FAMINE sPECrER.

England has had scare. For three
DAYS her proud capital was thrilled
with the fear Of gaunt figures stalking
along its streets with pale faces, hollow
eyes desperate from hunger. "Mis-
cry loves company" and 80 the out
casts that hang upon the verge OF an
incomplete civilization joined them,
and also that fanatic of unfaith, the
Socialist. Once more capital felt the
power Of labor to alarm. Imagine the
wealth Of London, its stores filled
with magnificent goods, its banks
crowded With q mass Of wealth such
as no other city has ever possessed,
its palaces crowded with luxury, and
see the gaunt, hollow.eyed, hungry
men stalking with lowered brow and
muttering lip among them-men who
owned & power OF mischief incalcula-
BILE. But the riches were safe, sl-
though the owners OF them we're
trembling. The creatures that crawled
from their holes to face daylight under
the voIkman's shadow, the cursers
Of social order who tried, like
bafIled ta'aus, 10 win these suffering
men 10 aid their destructive purposes
these smashed some windows and
rihsd some stores, but rarely was the
starving workman seen 10 join them.
Oh. wondrous forbearanCe Men who
can SO govern themselves must become
awful, indeed, II they ever determine
TO avenge their wrongs by violence
They who Cypress them, who leave
their wives and babes TO suffer the
gnawing pangs Of hunger, we'll may
they shrink in alarm when the dis
tresses of the poor have driven them
in multitudes TO declare the extent Of
their misery in the open streets. How
mad must they be who thus sting aud
goad and madden their fellow-creat.
uresl Do they think how they are
laying up wrath for the day Of wrath ?
will these men always be as forbear-
ing ne they have been this week. The
question is worth asking, and In land
of OVERLOOKING plenty, OF luxury and
ostentaion, a land where there is
amply enough for all honest, indus
trious, sober workers, wisdom suggests
is worth answering.

YmH STRENGTH OF UNITY

The SUPERFICIAL observer cannot I'M
derstand Why il is that the evangelists
invariably succeed in reviving religion
wherever they address the multitude.
Most OF the churches Of Memphis are
large, comfortable and the seats FREQ 10
oil who desire to attend. With the
exception Of an occasional TRADE by
some ambitious minister, painting for
notoFiety, the sermons are full Of
thought and delivered with an ability
aud eloquencs equal to any Of the
evangelists- Still the accessiOns to
the churches are lew and far between.
While here two years ago Sam Jones
never spread hrs drAg-net without
pulling souls Of laundering mourners

''soit and sweet as the zephyrs tina I
Flora breathes," and Sankey's sooth-
ing melody, drew sinners to them just
as the mothers smiles or tears causes
her children to hover around her.
The evsngelists, Ssyiord and Towner,
are emphasizing the good work be

and every day and night they
are plucking many brands from the
eternal burning, The success OF these
evangelists can be attributed to only
