THE Democracy of the Third
Congressional District will meet in
convention at this place on next
Wednesday, the 18th inst. 1t is the
largest district in the State both in
voting strength and in territory.
The total vote two years ago was
nearly twenty-eight thousand, and
the District is composed of sixteen
counties, as follows: Bledsoe, Brad
ley, Cumberland, Grundy, Hamilton,
James, Marion, McMinn, Meigs,
Monroe, Polk, Rhea, Sequachee,
Van Buren,, Warren and White.
The relative strength of the two
parties is so near equal that a bet
would not be safe on either side.

The Republican gubernatorial con-
vention will meet in Nashville next
Wednesday. The action of this con-
Nention will merely affect Gov. Tay-
lor's majority, and not his election.
1t will depend upon whom the re-
publicans nominate as to whether
Taylor's majority shall be ten thous-
and, twenty thousand, or thirty thous-
and.

CONGRESS is still hammering away
on the Mills tariff bill, and there is
little prospect of an adjournment be-
fore the latter part of August or first
Of September. The fate of the Mills
bill is very much in doubt. Even
should it pass the House in any
shape it would have no show of get
ting through the Senate. Taken al
together there is little or no prospect
Of any tariff legislation passing be-
fore the next session, and the coming
canvass will have to be made by
both parties again on promises.

THE Lewisburg Gazette makes the
following very just and forcible
criticism upon Senator Harris
recent stumping tour Of the State:
"Senator Harris opened his canvass
for reelection in a speech at Blount-
Vile, East Tenn, last Monday. The
Senator's political fences must be in
very bad condition, indeed, that he
has to leave his post of duty two
months before Congress adjourns to
patch them up. If our Congressman
were to do likewise Tennessee would
have no one but Senator Bate to look
after her interests at the national cap
ttol. We think the Senator would
have lost nothing by remaining at
his postbut would have gained much.
The people always appreciate faith
fulness to duty. They always take
care of this man who proves true to
them and their best interests"

NO DISCRIMINATION.

We copy IN another column a short and
sensible article On the revenue bill as re-
ported from the Ways and Means Com
mitlee. 1t is a strong protest representing
apowerful interest against the unreasona-
bic discrimination designed in taking the
tobacco tax of so many articles of manu-
f%acture, and leaving it on cigars and ciga-
rettes. The Ways and Means Committee
have of course been making q play for
popular opinion at the same line that they
appreciated the necessity for a positive
stand for reform on the internal reYenue
They failed TO notice the fact that when
they open one branch OF manufacture
they should apply the principle evenly
and with justice.
If chewing and smoking tobacco are to
be free, cigars and cigarettes must stand
on the same footing, or else there will be
a premium to big capital granted on the
theory of the Republican party, whose
ideas we must fight at every point, and
consistently.
This is an opportunity for the Demo.
Gratis in Congress to place the party on a
consistent and practical ground, and ii it
is lost the tariff act, wha,eyeri ii may be,
will be handicapped by the contradiction
OF its principles in the other act, which is
virtually a part of il.
Wipe out the whole tobacco taxes or
le. them stand "a they are. That will
certainly be The sentiment Of the country
the question is understood.

FREDERICK III.

The destiny Of the German Empire
was thrown suddenly on the shoulders OF
suffering invalid, but he is a man in
spirit and courage so long as life is left
him, and will doubtless carry the respon-
sibility with the aid OF his counsellors
until his son takes his place.
Queen Victoria's daughter is now En-
press Of Germany. The curious chapter
OF history that has been acted for some
time illustrates the fantastic tricks that are
played in the very gravest events where
law and traditional custom have provided
safeguards against all accidents.
The Crown Prince has been at deaths
gate for a long time, and had he died be-
fore his father even the wise provisions of
the chancellor might have failed to curb
the warlike.. spirit that in Germany is a
volunteers spirit, and entirely different
from the conservative ideas of the great
counsellor.
The iron chancellor Of the Empire has
shown the world a curious demonstration
Of absolute government. We know how
free government is In our country which
has stood so many strains because Of its
natural and just relations with the peo-
pie, and because il has not the power TO
do wrong. Frederick Williams mind Is as
clear to-day as when he obeyed Moltke's
command and turned the fortunes Of
val at Sadowa He may live years
be is by divine right King Of Prussia. and
by the edict of Versailles Emperor Of
Germany. But it is evident that his son
Is the real imperial power.
BY the side Of Germany France has
shown how the succession of power can
pass safely without any shock from the
government Of national defense TO the
presidency of Theirs, from Theirs to
MacMahon, from MacMahon to Grevy,
from Grevy to Carnot, she has proceeded
without shock, without peril to the
orderly continuity Of executive vigor.
This, too, in the passionate strife of
parties, not only divided in political
principle, but opposed to each other in
the rudimentary form of government.

The discussion Of the postal telegraph
Is merely a question between private in
dividual monopoly and government
liberal monopoly. The people should not
for one day tolerate the outrage that the
public is subjected to in telegraph rates,
and the sooner a direct responsibility is
established the better. 1t should be done
by the present Congress, and the Demo-
cratic party should let the people know
that the party of free rights will zee that
a great franchise is n olonger put on such
a footing as TO allow wholesale plunder.
1t is true that private enterprise
and competition are the safeguards
against the principle Of comnunistic gov
eminent, but the telegraph has been
thrown into one hand, and that hand
manages to freeze out competition. This
IS the result after years Of trial, and we
see plainly now that the tax on what is
a necessity of life is being laid on ty
company, when it would not be allowed
by the government.

history.

The following scrap of newly.manufac
tured history will be read with interest,
as il comes from the New York sur, q
sound Democratic paper that ought tc
know somewhat more Of the facts. IL
speaking of Mcclellan, it says
"His was the skill that brough, the
first disastrous defeat to rebellion in West
Virginia. His arms routed Lees legions
on the Kanawha his genius resurrectcd
the armies McDowells destruction scat
tered at Bull Run. His forces captured
Yorktown, his strength beat Johnston at
Williamsburg and Seven Oaks. His
corps dispersed Lee at Cold HaTbor, and,
II Stanton had kept faith, he would have
been in Richmond that fateful June
morning in 1869, when McDowelPs de
tention at fredericksburg left StOnewall
Jackson free to steal around McClellan's
flank"
Now as the battle of Fair Oaks was
called on the other side Seven Pines,
the mistake in trees might be %pardonable.
But as for General Lees legions being
routed in West Virginia, General Lee
never was on the Kanawha, and lie never
fought a battle in West Virginia.
General Mcclellan fought Genera!
Garnet and not General Lee, and when
General Lee was anywhere, say fifty miles
from the Kanawha river, Rosecranz and
not Mcclellan was in command OF the
Federal forces. AS for the Cold Harbor
mart Of this little romance, there is not a
page in history written on either side,
that gives the excuse for such a silly ut
terance.
There were two battles Of Cold ilar
Dor, and in each n the Conteierates
were s%ignally victorious. AS for Jack
sons stealing among the flank, il has
been written Of at home and abroad IN
til the facts are familiar that the Fedora
force at Fredericksburg was kept there
to cover Washington. as the Federal
commanders thought that Jackson's corps
The Daily times. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1886-1889, 1888-03-11

was in the Valley of the Shenandoah 1t
has often been stated by 9ippant writers
that Mcclellan could have marched into
Richmond after his right wing had been
smashed.
1t would have been a little more than
any but a young Napoleon" could have
conceived. much less executed, to have
restored the lost battle in the front of a
victorious army pushing him in front
and on the flank, when the victor had
10000 fresh troops covering the only
road by which the defeated General
could have gotten into Richmond.

THE STRIKE,

The power Of the Brotherhood OF
Locomotive Engineers is just what con
stitutes their danger. They see where
corporations that may have been unjust
can be forced to terms by a certain com
bined action Of the engineers, but they do
not see how their own act will recOil on
themselves with dreadful might.
The American people are so free in
thought and so conscious Of the strength
Of conservative ideas that they allow the
actions Of politicians or unions,or strikers,
anybody else to go very far without
any protest, but the might of popular
opinion will overcome with the rush Of a
cyclone any body of men who undertake
to take law into their own hands and di-
rect affairs that cOncern all the business
OF our everyday life, and OF the arbitrary
ground that somebody's wages are not
high enough. AS for that, we think that the
railroads ought TO pay the highest posi-
wages to intelligent and good men
who run engines, but il is not the way TO
reach this object when there is a combi-
nation to tie up the running Of trains.
The organization that tries that will
find themselves in a hopeless minority.
The law ofthe country is all right, and il
doubly severe when popular opinion
calls for It's enforcement.

A sweeping order affecting the striking
engineers in the West was made yester-
day by United States Judge Dundy at
Omaha. 1t requires the Union Pacific
RAILROAD to take freight from the Burling-
ton road and restraints the Union Pacific
engineers from refusing to take it, and
also from striking, combining or con
federating for the purpose of orgsniza
ton or advising a strike. The hearing
on the application to Judge Gresham at
Chicago in the case of the Wabash was
postponed until Monday. The outcome
of ,hese proceedings should be salutary.
II will soon be seen whether there is law
enough TO keep such an organization as
the Engineers Brotherhood in check. If
Mr.. Arthur is more powerful than the
forces Of law and order, it is high time
to know it.-N. Y. Tribune.
