fireman, Peter Nelson, had been out during

him. About twelve O'Clock he went from his
post to get a drink of water, and on looking
back into the boiler room found flames among
the piles of shavings. Before he could get
the hose or pull the whistle to give the alarm
the flames rushed through the room and
drove him out. A large crowd soon fiocked
to the scene, watching the flames devour the
building. An immense revolving bleach

heating room fell in the fremen turned the
hose over the bleach and instantly an ex-

CLEVELANDS LAST MESSAGE.

Congress convened last Monday.
President Cleveland sent in his last
regular message. Like all papers
eminating from him, it was an able,
straightforward, manly paper. He
believes that the obligation is just as
great and binding upon the Govern
ment to deal honestly with the citi-
zen, as it is upon the citizen to deal
honestly with the Government. A
tariff that raises more money than
the Government needs, and gives to
a certain class all advantages over
their fellow citizens, is a violation of
this principle on the part of the Gov
eminent. The aim of the Govern
ment ought to be, to give equal pro-
lection to all. This the tariff for pro-
lection does not do. Communism is
bad. But the principles Of c0mmun-
ism among the rich, who combine to
Cypress the poor, is just as bad, and
as inimical to the Government, as
those same principles are, among the
poor, who combine to resist the rich.
The President pleads for such re-
formation of the tariff as will reduce
it to the needs of the Government,
and will make the burden of taxation
as near equal as possible, Cleveland
successful, or defeated, is not afraid
to give free utterance to his honest
opinions. He has shown by his
works, that, he "wOuld rather be
right, than to be President"
He knew, when he projected his
campaign on the great principle OF
"Tariff Reform" that every trust,
combination of protected wealth, and
bloated manufactures of this country
would move heaven and earth to de-
feat him. He knew his election
could be put beyond doubt, if he
would but keep silent on this ques
ton. But believing it to be right, he
dared them to the battle. Money
won. Today he stands the same
cheerful, undaunted champion of the
rights of the people that he has al
ways been. His ideas will yet pre-
vail in this country, "The mills o
the gods grind slow, but they grint
exceedingly fine" The day when ouI
American people will throw off thu
money yoke is coming. The longer i
is delayed the more complete vii

read because of his defeat, and wher

The Chicago Reds.

One of the great dangers to this
country is too much confidence in the
ability of the law abiding class to
defeat the lawless in any organized
movement. If the law abiding class
of society are wide-awake, ready to
organize at a moments notice, and
we'll informed as to the movements
of the lawless class, then there is no
danger to be apprehended from the
Anarchists. 1t is well for us however
to understand that they are not idle,

Bates VS.. Evans.

Strange as our sympathy is for
Bates in his contest with Evans, we
still feel that there is a good-deal Of
business in the following editorial
from the Chattanooga Times:
We profoundly regret what seems
to us the unfortunate and needless
prolonging Of the fight over the GER
tificate to the congressional seat from
this district. The movement was not
wise in its inception, nor in the man
ner Gifts first movement. Every step
from the first has been blunder, and
the proposal to carry the scramble in
to the courts will be the worst one of
the series, for all concerned on the
democratic side.
There has been about the effort to
sec cure the certificate a flavor of the
old returning board operations, and
of the Brownlow DISTINGUISHING ma
chine, that democrats in the South
cannot afford to revive.
We have said from the first; and
we say again, that this contest should
never have been made on technical
grounds. The plea for DISTINGUISHING
whole populous districts because of
irregularities and alleged small frauds,
was demand that wrong be right
ed by official commission ola wrong
four-fold greater.
There was q plain, and we still be-
lieve feasible way Of proceeding,
that would have given the contestant
at once strong legal and moral ground
to stand upon. That way we pointed
out, and it is not necessary to do that
again. The technical, returning
board style of contest, was preferred
to one based on Il searching, detailed
analysis, of the vote of Hamilton
county; and now another technical
plan is afO0t to head off the executive
by court decree.
1t is all wrong, gentlemen, land you
will before very long repent you ill
judged course and wish you haC
listened to more conservative anC
safe advice.

The question of a seperate prison

The legislature of Tennessee elect

for a place of correction for children
who are tempted to steal on small
or large scale.-There must be place
for their instruction and correction
provided, and we hope our members
will keep an eye on this matter.

THE following dispatch is going
the rounds of the papers:
WASHINGTON, Dec. l.-COngress-
man Houk, in an interview today,
said that he had no doubt that
Evans, the Republican, in the dis
puted district of his State, would get
the certificate. His opinion was
that both Taylor and the Secretary of
the State were trying to make capital
of the case. Taylor, he thinks,
hopes to get the Republicans 10 join
with his friends to send him to the
Senate in the place of Mr.. Harris, and
thinks to aid himselfin this enterprise
by giving the certificate to Evans,
The Secretary of the State, on the
other hand, will soon be up before
the legislative caucus for renomina-
ton, and he aims to make himself
solid.
Now we don't believe there is one
word of truth in all this. We believe
that with a fair count Of the legeti.
mate vote of this District, Bates
would be clearly shown to have been
elected. But we also believe that
Gov. Taylor and Sec. Allison were
both perfectly honest in their opin,
ions, and that each without any re-
gard to self interest, was trying tc
carry out the law. They honestly
differed, and that was all there WA,
