failed. People living in the same neigh
borhood long since became nauseated over
her conduct and reputation but unity in
action on their part has thus far permitted
her TO remain. The mere fact that Willie
Tisdale was sent TO Turner by the Water
Valley parties responsible for her condi-
ton is enough to satisfy the public as to
her widespread reputation.

Some three years ago Sergt. Hedrick had
occasion to arrest an escaped penitentiary
convict. After diligent inquiry the Off
Ger learned that the convict's sister,
buxom looking yellow woman, was en-
ployed by Nixon, He visited the store OF
the man, found the woman taking rather
prominent hand about the premises, and
also the man for whom he was searching
snugly stored away in an upper story.
SERIOUS DEFECT.
lnerc Is one very serious defect in the
laws OF Tennessee on this point, out OF
which grows grave and constantly in
creasing evil. Such institutions as Rhody
Turner presides over are alarmingly nu-
merous throughout the city Only those
whose business it is to keep up with cur
rent events are aware Of the extent to
which this infamous business has gone,
and the comparative immunity from seri-
Gus punishment that surrounds those en-
gagged in it. Unless the case presents very
aggravated features, as the present one APP
pears 10 do, light fine is about the
heaviest punishment melted out. This is
one of the reforms civilization demands,
and there was never a better time to begin
than now.

cratic State convention assembled at 1880
o'clock this morning. and S. w. Drew was
chosen president. Mr.. Drew, on being
introduced, was warmly received. His
allusion in his speech to President Cleve-
land created great enthusiasm.
Immediately after the close OF Mr..
Drew's address, Charles A. Amsden and
John Harley were placed in nomination
for Governor. The committee on resolu-
tons then made its report
After the platform had been read and
adopted. a ballot was taken which re-
suited in tie nomination OF Charles A.
Amsden.
The platform adopted, after indorsing
the platform OF the national convention,
declares in favor OF tariff reform, free raw
materials, the regulation OF the liquor
traffic IN manner found successful in
other States; expresses sympathy with
Ireland, Gladstone and Paruell, and form
ally charges the Republican party with
being a syndicate OF political spoculators
whose only purpose is 10 protect the great
monOpolies and trusts.

An Interesting calculation of the
News They Print.

Henry r. Elliott. New York jour
nalist, makes an interesting calculation
in the March Forum, to show the rela-
tive Importance that New York papers
put on the different kinds of news. He
counted the space given by them on
several successive days to religion, to
crime, to labor news, to markets, etc.,
news to the total reading matter was
centage of the Tribune is the HIGHEST
being seven and one half. The Herald
is a close second with seven. Below
the average is the Sun, the World, the
Evening Post, the Mail and Express and
the Telegram the Sun leads in its atten-
ton to crimes. Its ratio is twenty
ter. The Telegram is second, with a
morning World, the NewS, the Herald
and the Erening Sun, the rest following
with lower percentages. The average
ratio is eleven and seven-tenths. In
outdoor sports, yachting, baseball
ing San leads with a ratio of twelve
and q half, closely followed by the
Herald with a record of eleven, and the
NelrS with one OF ten per cent. Tire
average or normal is seven and seven
tenths. In the markets the Mail and
Express leads in the relative space
given to this subject, the ratio being
twenty-six per cent. The Erening Post
and Commercial AduertiSer come next
with ratios of twenty-one and nineteen
respectively. Then there is a long
jump down to the Herald with little
over seven per cent, and the World
five The average is eight and eight
tenths. These percentages of the space
given by the leading papers to each
sort of news are tabulated thus:

The New York and Cincinnati morn
ing dailies take the lead as regards
space devoted to crimes, the Cincinnati
papers being foremost by a very slight
fraction. Cincinnati also pays the
least attention to religion. and devotes
the largest space to markets of the
whole list, and her ratio of editorial
comment is as low as any. Boston has
an eye to the main chance. as is shown
by the high market ratio; but she gives
7 per cent. of her space to religion and
Az to books, in both cases leading the
list. She is also one OF the few cities
which accord an appreciate fraction OF
space to art, while crime as theme
sinks nearly to one-third the
prominence assigned to it New
York or Cincinnati, and to one
half the ratio of the press at large.
Philadelphia newspaper average is
severally conventional. 1t approaches
nearer the national average than that OF
any ether city. In attention to athletic
sports and labor interests there is 6
