SOCIALISTIC MEETINGS
Being Held in the Pennsylvania
Coal Regions.

PITTsBURa, PA, February 11.-Sev-
eral meetings were held in the coal re-
gions to-day, two Of which were So
'cialistic gatherings. At Morgan Sta
ton nearly 10000 strikers assembled
this afternoon to determine on a
course to effect the release of the men
arrested yesterday for participating in
the Bradford riot. The strikers say
that none of the parties arrested were
there, and they protest against the
men being committed to a Jail without
a hearing. A large meeting was held
at Mount Pleasant this morning COM
posed molly OF Hungarians from
Moorewood. They have been unable
to obtain their share If the donations,
and therefore appointed a committee
OF their own aud established a CON.
misssry. The presiding officer made
an incendiary speech in the Hungarian
language which was loudly cheered
and caused several fanatics to Display
their weapons. Superintendent Van
pluzen of the Beeson Works, an inde-
pendent company, offered his miners
the advance Of 10 per cent and it is
expected that the men will return to
work on Monday.
An evening paper publishes a sen.
sational story from Mount Pleasant to
the effect that Socialistic agitators
from Chicago and New York have
been successful in inducing nearly all
OF the Slavonians in the region to
Join a secret organization similar to
the Molly Maguires, and that recently,
especially during the past week, large
quantities of firearms and ammuui-
ton had been shipped into the coke
regions.

THE TRUNK LINES.
Meeting of the Presidents at New
York.

New YORK, February 1.-THE Trib.
une Of this morning says: A meeting
of the committee of the presidents CT
the trunk lines was held at Commits
sioner Fink's Office yesterday to con-
slider the east-bound situation. All of
the pool roads were represented. The
conference was harmonious, and the
result is likely 10 lead to an improve
ment in the maintenance of east-bound
freight rates. There has been more
or less complaint Of irregularities at
the West, aud the complaints were
fully discussed. 1t was the general
opinion that most { the irritation was
created by shippers who desired to
fracture the existing agreements.
Each road pledged itself to a
strict execution of the presi-
dents agreement in good faith
and many points of misunderstanding
were satisfactorily explained. The
subject OF live stock and dressed beef
rates was discussed. 1t was agreed
that an attempt to advance the tariff
should b. made on March LIST, but no
definite measures were considered.
Pending the receipt OF Commissioner
Fink's decieion as 10 the differences
which ought TO be allo we'd in favor OF
the dressed beef shippers, it was
voted to retain the Old plan OF division
in the construction of the esst-bound
pool. The meeting than adjourned.

THE RETAIL SHOE DEALERS

A Resolution Which Caused Much
Discussion and No Little Excite.
ment Among The Members.

NEW YoRK, February 11.-At the
meeting of the Retail Shoe Dealers
National Association yesterday d. T.
Lynch explained the object of the
convention was TO devise some means
Tor correcting existing evils in the
trade. The main evil complained Of
was the action OF certain dry goods
houses throughout the country in in
Producing boot and shoe depa tments
in their establishments, much 10 the
detriment OF the regular dealers in
those commodities. An unfair COM
petition was thereby established, and
1t was necessary tbat measures OF pro-
lection should be adopted by those
whose trade was injured. The speaker
also denounced the system of stamp.
ing boots and shoes with the names OF
the manufacturers, which he declared
to be one Ct the most pernicioas evil,
of the trade.
John W. Keogh threw a frebland
into the deliberst Dos by introducing
a resolution providing that no mem.
Der OF the National Association should
purchase goods from any boot and
snoe manufacturer or manufacturers
who sho aid refuse to sign aud abide
by a cast-iron agreement requiring
him or them ID refrain from all deal
ings with dry goojs, hats or furnish
ing goods dealers or any other person
not recognized by this association as
being legitimstely engaged in the re-
tail boot and shoe trade.
A second clause CT the agreement
was that the manufacturers sales
should be open to the inspection OF
the associations agents whenever vic.
lation OF contract should be alleged,
and that any offending manufacturer
should pay $500 to the treasurer
of the association for every proved
violation of the agreement, it being

RIGHTS OF TIE CHINESE.

The persecution of the Chinese on
the Pacific Coast is assuming proper
tons that are discreditable to us as
Christian people, and dishonorable to
us as a treaty-making nation. Oregon
is out.doing the WORT deeds of the
San Francisco sand-lotters. People
there are driving the Chinese away
wholesale. They are driven to the
steamers at the wharf, and in instances
forced on board with no payment
made OF their fare. Gen. Gibbon, who
is in command OF the district, tele-
graphs Chief-Justioe Green OF Wash
ington to use his influence to have
troops employed for the defense of
the Chinese. What he fears is shown
when he says: GAS yet no bloodshed
or incendiarism has occurred, but 1t

serious trouble" How our blood
would boil with indignation if we
should read in the telegraph news
some morning that the Chinese were
in the same manner driving American

have precisely the rights here
Americans have there. Our treaty
with China, which aroused the envy
OF all Europe when we obtained
it, says that Aa orleans resid-

brilliant business career Col. Tate de-
veloped the qualities Of statesman

prosperity that came, will unite in ex.

MEMPHIS APPEAL.
FRIDAY, FEB. IL, 1856.
pROGRrss OF TIE soMrH.


Our exchange papers from all parts
OF the Union are, at intervals, discus
sing the subject OF progress in the
South, the advantages it offers for the
investment OF capital, and the great
prospects Of future prosperity that
hang over it. The Hon. Carroll d.
Wright, an eminent authority in the
East, in a recent address upon "The
Future OF the Industries of Massa-
chusetts," was of course led by his
subject to speak OF the South, from
which tina. State receives the cotton II
manufactures. He said that the
South is developing her industries to
an extent greater than ever before;
she is stepping out into progress
such as she had never known, and ii
will be to the advantage OF New Eng
land that the industry oil the South is
rapid, great and grand, and it is for its
interest to see that the South has
favorable opportunity for the indus
trial development Of its law material,
its immense resources OF coal, iron,
timber and fabrics. But, continued the
eloquent gentleman, some OF the coars-
or industries OF New England will 60
to the South, that is logical and
inevitable, and so threatened the East
must be determined to occupy toward
the rest Of the United States the rela-
ton that Great Britain and Belgium
have occupied with relation to us !;
New England must produce all the
finer grades of goods that are now i'm
ported. Such words az these, coming
from the once foolishly despised New
England, from the lips OF an able and
accomplished yankee, Fought to have
an inspiring effect upon every resident
OF the South. Burns prayed "0h, that
God the gift would gle us to see our
sells as ithers see us" and the South
may pray for the same thing though in
adi6erent sense from Burns. Could
they 30 see themselves and the grand
advantages they hold, they would
never fail to push on, ever confident
and enterprising. God has given us
fair land and unsurpassed .oppoltuni.
ties; II failure and disappointment
could come, the fault would be in the
iainting hearts and spathetic indifGer-
ence of the Southern people, not the
want OF glorious domain and de-
lightful cline, to which every year is
adding more and more brilliant oppor-
tunities for success and prosperity.

.NNUAL INSURANCE REPORT.
A Third Party movement
IooRREsPoSpEsoE OF THE APPEAL.


NASHVILLE, February l0.-It is ru-
mored here that there is danger OF
third party movement, and that an at
tempt will be made to put a piohibi-
ton ticket in the field. Many OF the
best temperance men are opposed to
this, among them Maj. ]. W. Sykes,
who, in a recent communication TO
the american, said that, Gin order for
this question no. TO affect party rela-
tions, the best, il not the only plan is
to submit the question to the people
and let them settle it By a direct vote.
II this is done it need not interfere
with either party. Some men in both
parties are in favor of prohibition,
and some are oppo 3ed to 1t, and il it
is submitted as a separate and distinct
proposition all may vote their senti-
ments without abandoning their re-
spectiye parties, Unless this is done
it will become party question, and
be the basis for the formation OF
new party, for there are many men
who consider this question Of more
Importance than any OF the questions
now dividing parties. am not pre-
pared to express an opinion whether
a coDstitut onal amendment forbid
ing the manu- facture and sale Of alco-
holic liquors as beverage would be
adopted, but whether it would or not,
the people in their sovereign capacity
have right to determine. That the
State has right to regulate or to pro-
hibit the manufacture and sae OF al
coholic liquors as beverage there
can be no question. 1t has been so
decided by all our counts, Federal and
State, and such is the uniformly ex-
pressed opinion of a eminent law
writer's. Whether it would be good
policy and wise legislation to do so is
another question.
1t seems to me that the men en-
gagged in the liquor traffic should not
oppose submission of the conttitu-
tional amendment to the people. If,
as they say, a majority Of the people
are opposed to the amendment it will
be defeated in a popular election.
This will put stop to the agitation
and give strength, quiet and firmness
TO their business AID put it on g
tirmer basis. II, on the other hand,
majority of the people are in favor of
prohibition a refusal by minority of
the Legislature to let them vote on it
will intensity and strengthen the
prohibition sentiment and lead to de-
cided action. A minority Caunot long
defeat the will Ct a determined ma
jority."

COL. SAM TATE

Elsewhere in the APPEAL will be
found very sensible and interesting
communication from Col. Sam Ta'e,
giving his estimate OF last years cot.
ton crop. Col. Tate has been an ex-
tensive planter in Arkansas for ten
years; has clear head, Il judgment
almost unerring, aud his esti-
mate is worthy Of tho high
eat consideration, fortified as it
is by the memorable logic OF facts
and figures. However much COM
mercial men, and especially those who
deal in cotton and have studied the
crop of 1885, may disagree with Col.
Tate, they will respect the opinions
emanaing from one Of the clearest
intellett5 Of the South, and always
first and foremost, bright and lucid in
the discussion of everything that con.
Germs the material interests OF the
Southern people. For several years
Col. Tate's sufferings on account OF
physical infrmities have been
severe, but his mind is as strong
aud vigorous a3 ever, and in dis
oussing commercial problems to be
solved, it blazes out like the evening
sun surrounded by storm-clouds.
Col. Tate bears his bodily affections
like the philosopher he is, and feels
that a man should not regret anything
after ne has built his own monument.
He has uprCared his by forty years
devotion to the interests OF Memphis.
Years ago, when Memphis took its first
start in the race to greatness, he i'm
pressed his vigorous personality on
every public enterprise. The Mem
phis and Charleston railroad, to which
he gave such answering loyalty as its
president, had in him an aggressive
leader, the ablest railroad manager of
the South in his time. The position
he occupied offered ideal opportunities
for achieving grand results, and the
results he achieved justified the I'M
Paraileled confidence reposed in him
by the stockholders. With over 1000 |
stockholders and thirteen directors,
during the fifteen years Ct his presi-
6ency be never had an opponent or a
vots cast against him in a stockhold- |
ers' meeting or in the Board OF |
Directors. He gained this con-
tiieuce by a most absolute, sim
Glt-minded loyalty and devotion to
the interest, Of the road. He lived |
only to serve Memphis and his
road, and he did 60 to the satisfaction
Of both, and at the same time he was
regarded with an affection and respect
