OF the two leading spirits of Columbias
progressive leaders, Mcdowell and Wright,
seen in their unceasing efforts TO better the
condition of society. About three months
ago these gentlemen suggested Worlds
Live Stock exhibition, TO he held in Col
umbia in 1889. The reasons that prompted
this suggestion. which has met with favor
on every side, have solid foundations.
The world is gradually getting away from
the old plan OF general expositons whore
multtuduous products are exhibited. The
tendency for specialties that are original
and feasible is being rapidly developed.
This blue grass region OF Tennessee being
the acknowledged center of the finest
grades of live stock is the fitting place for
such an exhibition to he held. The whole
business OF live stock raising is changed.
Men are beginning TO realize the value of
high grades. The west has lost its glory
in this respect, and the cruel winters OF
that section Of the country will not per-
init the raising OF the finer stock at
all and II is getting too severe for
the successful raising OF lower grades.
Hence, for climatic reasons, the wise men
are all looking 10 the south as the only
place in which the live stock business can
be carried on successfully.
This scheme will bring stock men from
all parts Of the world TO Columbia, and q
convention will be held, in which papers
will be read on stock questions, and a
thorough exchange OF ideas will
be had, making it an interesting
as well as very profitable event
One OF the most prominent men in
the United States will be president and

State in the Union and every nation in
Europe. Tennessee being pre-eminenty
adapted TO this industry, many men will
be so attracted by its advantages that they
will invest their money here. II would
be impossible 10 estimate the great
value OF this thing to the State.
THE sCoTcn-RIsH CONGRESS.
Maury county is the home OF the stur-
diest OF this noble people. Wherever
they have settled, success has always fol-
lowed The persistence and courage which
are the crowning attributes Of this people
never fail 10 leave their marks. Mr..
keating's paper showed what they have
done for Maury county.
IL Is proposed that q Scotch Irish con-
gress be held there next MAY. Delegates
representing the race In all parts OF the
world will he in attendance, and the
history OF this people will be the grand
theme of the convention. Every person of
Scotch-lrish blood in the United States.
and particularly in Tennessee, will hail
the movement with delight, and il will be
a gathering OF such strength and power rs
TO awaken the interest OF all people OF
whatever descent.
Thus il is seen that Columbia Is no slow
place; that she is up to the times in every
thing, and her people are thoroughly alive
10 every movement that will benefit their
city-.educationally, socially and indus
trially. Thomas q. BoGGs.

MIR. COMPARTMENTS ADMISSION
He Says Mrs. Preston Was Discharged for
 Testifying Before the Committee.

NEW YORK, Aug. 17.-James Oppen- heimer, cloak manufacturer, of Broadway, was examined before the Con- gressional Immigration Committee. He said that in the dull season he employed from twenty-five to fifty people, and in tho busy season from fifty to a hundred. In busy seasous some of the work was dono through contractors; about an equal num- Der or men and women are employed now; when he first began business women were mostly employed; wages were somewhat lower than formerly, perhaps 12 per cont lower; the witness received less than form erly: there were more people asking for work now than eleven years ago.
 This witness was the employer of the EnglishWOman Marion Preston, who testi- fled before the Committee and was dis charged from his employ the next morn ing The witness Oppenheimer sad to- day that the Preston woman was dis charged by the superintendent of the shop, who is an exctable man. He read in tho paper what she had said before the Com mittee, and he got mad and discharged her. The witness said he was willing to re-en- gage Mrs. Preston; the superin tendent was sorry now that he had discharged her. The witness said he had read her testimony and thought she had told the truth with one exception, and that was in stating that she was a hrSG-rate work woman; the superintendent thought she was not, and that perhaps also influenced him Tn discharglng her; he was probably really angry, because in testifying Mrs. Preston mimcked the superintendent, who was foreigner and spoke Broken Eng fish; although Mrs. Preston was not con sidered a frst-rate hand by the superin- tepdent she had been employed by his firm, the witness said, about three years. The witness in reply to the questions put to him by the members, completely cor reiterated athe evidence given by Mrs. Marion Preston. He gave it as his opinion that the influx of Bohemians, Poles, and Russians did not cause the wages to be reduced

DEPOSiTORS IN THE FREED.
 MANS SAVINGS BANK
MT. Beck, of Kentucky. Argues Against Paying White Depositors--Passase
 of tho Fertilization Bill.

WASHINGTON, Aug. T.-In the Senate Mir. Plumb (Rep,, Kas.) introduced joint resolution for the printing of addi- tional copies of the map prepared by ths Land Office-edition of 1887. This, he said, was to meet the objections of the Pres dent in a recent veto to like joint resolu- tion, as to the edition of 1886. When he introduced the latter resolution there wus not scrap of information as to the edi- tion of 1888; and he still thought that the President was mistaken.
 Mr. Manderson said that the Committee on Printing had made an examination which satisfied it that the map proposed to be printed would be actually that of the edition of 1SS6 The plate from which they wore to be printed had been made for the Government in 1SS6 and the only differ erence would be a change in date.
 After further discussion the joint reselu. tion was referred to the Committee on Printing.
 Edmunds (Rep. Vt), looking to the pay ment of white depositors in the Freedmen's Saving Bank who were in no way con. nected with the mlsmanagement and fail ure thereof, came up and was discussed.
 MT. Beck (Dem. Ky.) argued that there were good reasons why white depositors should not be paid anything. One of these was that they never had any right under the law, to become depositors.
 Mir. Edmunds asked khim If there had been any discrimnations made up to this time against the poor white depositors in the payment of dividends.
 Mir. Beck replied that there had not been, nor against the rich white depositors either. Dividends had been paid to all de- positors just as in the case of other bank rupt banks; although many of the white depositors were the speculators who stole the money and broke up the bank.
 The resolution went over without action.
 MT. Reagan took the floor to speak on the Presidents annual message.
 Mir. Allison desiring action on the confer ence report on the Army Appropriation Bill, represented the necessity for dispos- Ing of the appropriation bills Ill preference to other matters for which there was no immediate pressure.
 The Fertilization Appropriation bill was passed without division.
 MT. Crisp (Dem., Ga) from the Commit tee on Commerce, reported the Senate bill, authorizing the construction of 6 bridge across the Tansas River in Louisiana Pri- vate calendar.
 In the morning hour Mr. Morrill, (Rep. kan.) called up a resolution previously reported from the Committee on Invalid Pensions, assigning May and for the consideration of general pension legisla- tion, with a proposed amendment chang ing the dates to August 29 and 3O
 Mir. Merrill gave q resume of the various measures of a general character, which had been reported from the Committee on Invalid Pensions. and urged the necessity of fixing time for ther consideration. He demanded the previous question and the vote resulted, yeas 116, nays 7 No quornm, and a call of the House was ordered. The resolution went over.

BAR ASSOCIATION.
Mr. Hoadley in His Address Says Lawyers
 Arc Too Often Provincial.

SARATOGA, N Y, Aug. 17.-Hon. George Hoadley delivered tho annual address be- fore the American Bar Association. He said:
 "The necessity for lawyers is grounded in human nature in the diverse character and characteristics of men and will endure as long as the cause of it's existence will endure It goes with out saying that, next, even if not equal or superior to his duties to his clients, are the lawyers obligations to the com munlty and the profession. Of these the most ur- gent calls for the best thought in devising and eno:gy in ex- ccuting plans for the relief lof those who are to be his successors, relief from the impediments which have obstructed his own progress, so that his successors shall be better equipped for their work. An error which largely retards the advance of legal education and progress, is the general im- pression among lawers nnd teachers or the law that we need to study no other sys- tenn than that of the common law. Law yers live too often intellectually ill Eng land only Land not in the world (applause).
 They are provincial, not cosmopolitan. Our legal Ideas are founded on the nation that the customs of tho people of the Southern part of a little island in the past eges was crystallZed into rules of action either actually or satentially adopted to most if not all emergencies. But the time is coming, century or so hence, when we shall present to the world new people, an American people, when the old legal cob webs shall be swept away. (ApplaCse.) )
 The lawyers of to-day studies tho works of the wise men and great jurists of the common law and equity, learning not the law-its volume is tooi great-but where to look for law when wanted. If success full in after years he may become a jurist or statesman or both. He never ceases to to be insular and English. He passes his life. He feels like Brougham. IT he had known little law he would have known a little of everything uaughter.)
 Gov. Hoadley then illustrated the pro- vincial character of such a lawyer, quot ing many cases in the history of juris- prudence.

Danny Lyons Must Hang,

NEW YORK, Aug. 17.-Judge Patterson yesterday refused to grant stay of exe- cution in the case of Daniel Lyons for the murder of Athlete Quinn. He will be hanged next Tuesday.
 The decision of Judge Patterson in this case is of considerable importance in set ting question in which considerable doubt has been expressed. The judge substantially holds that it was entirely competent for the Legislature to take away the Jurisdiction which 1t had con- ferred upon the Supreme Court as regards appeals in capital cases.
 The Court of Appeals has passed upon at least four capital cases taken there by ap- peal, and it is hardly conceivable that that Court would have taken jurisdiction if there were any reasonable doubt of the constitutionalty of the law He therefor declines to grant the stay.
