AN uNREPENrANr REnEL.

The tens Of thousands Of loyal men in
Tennessee-and there are no more loyal men
under the shadow Of the hag than there are
IN Tennessee-are deeply stirred TO righteous
anger 10y the utterances Of Chief-Justice Tur-
ney at a recent Reunion Of ex-Confederates
at Knoxville. The verbatim report of his
speech, which was published in the daily
papers Of that city, shows that he said
believed that was right in 1861 when went
into the Confederate army, aud now, on the third
day of November, 1891. know was right. And
now, gentlemen, If / should be taken suddenly
SICK ln my room, and after consultation Of doc
tors should be told that my end was near aud
II you, gentlemen, should hear of ID, and should
come and say 10 me, We have decided 10 erect a
monument over your grave and we wish TO ask
what you would iuscribc % I would say, Gentle
men, on that marble, In deep characters. eugrye
the single word Secession"
Justice Turney is leading candidate for
Governor Of Tennessee, and he made this
speech designedly 10 capture the ultra-rehel
element Of his state. Such an utterance by
high officer of state is simply monstrous.
II Is giving an official sanction to rank trea-
son. II he believes what he says, then he
constantly lives a lie, for in his great Office
he is continually called upon TO expound
aud apply laws framed upon the basis that
rebellion is wrong and the authority of the
United States is supreme If he believes
IA the righteousness Of rebellion and seces-
sion, then he must believe that every law
asserting the authority Of the Government
Is gross violation Of right IT. therefore,
ne interprets those laws according to their
letter and spirit, he must regard himself
as an accomplice in doing great wrongs
TO those who are affected by them. IT. on
the other hand, he does not apply those laws
according 10 their intent and meaning, he is
false 20 his official oath and duties. As
conscientious man he should at once resign
has seat on the Supreme Bench If the
people Of Tennessee are true to their duties
as citizens OF the United States they will at
once impesch this unworthy public servant
and remove him from the position where, IL
he tries to carry out his convictions, he can
do rs incalculable harm 10 them as Isham
G. Harris did in 1861, when in opposition
to the wishes of the majority of the people,
be dragged the State into the wolul vortex
of Secession.

nutriInent:

The protein is the true nuiritive material,
and the value of all foods is measured by the
percentage of it that they contain. Some fish
may have so much bones, scales, skin, and
other worthless material as to have but a
small percentage OF protein to their gross
weight But such fish as salmon, cod,
mackeTel, halibut, sardines, eels etc, are
very rich in nutriment Their true use is
with some starchy kinds OF food, such as
potatoes, wheat flour, corn OF oatmeal. The
Scotch diet Of oatmeal, paddock or herring,
and the New England menu OF pork and
beans, or potatoes and bread, and Goldfish
and macl,eraI, are scientific combinations,
and give fne nourishment to body and
brain

WOMAN, A DEcEIvER EVER"

The propensity Of the best regulated women
to do things that are just little of color has
long puzzled the grave scientists, as well as
many more men-younger and not so wise.
For example, no matter how exemplary
woman may be in general, 1t seems impossible
for her to restrain her propensity to cheat at
cards, or smuggls every time she crosses the
boundary Of the United States. The young
men Of California Junction, Iowa, are meditat-
ing on this inexplieable tendency with heavi-
ness Of heart aud lightness of pocket. They
where the young men bought the young ladies
by weight. We don't understand precisely
what this means but as ID was done In
church, and for the good Of the church, ii
must be all right. But what a5tonished and
grieved the purchasers was the Incompetent
sible increase in the weight Of the charm
ers. Airy, fairy Lilians." whose step they
would have sworn would scarcely bend blade
Of grass, showed avOrdupois like unto that Of
the fat woman in the side-show. Girls that
they had supported on their knees for long
hours without the slightest sense Of fatigue,
brought down tho scales like hOd Of brick
on carriers shoulder at the top OF the fifth
ladder. One young man who was expert at
guessing weights, being a successful stock
buyer was sure his fascinating chick-a-bid-ee
would not weigh more than 90 pounds His
eyes took on a cold sick look when the scales
registered 275 pounds and he had to fork over S.
for the church treasury. He thought his mind
was going back on him, and his business pros
poets ruined, until, overwhelmed by his
misery, the dear little deceiver confessed to
him that she and the other girls had been
loading themselves down with fat-irons, bags
Of shot, and other pOnderous articles, which
they concealed with feminine cunning in the
mysterious folds OF their drapery. Women in
Iowa seem to be like women everywhere else.

A FIGHTISG paEson is very bad man
for the unregenerate TO tackle, and if any
thing fighting editor is still worse. What,
therefore, must be a combination Of these
two? Ernst Schmidt, a rowdy ex-salocn-
keeper and terror of New Philadelphia,
O., is experiencing the bitter results of run
ming up against such a combination. He
grossly insultcd the wife of Rev. n. B.
Banker, pastor of the Baptist Church of
that place, and editor Of the Farmers and
Mechanics Journal It thus became neces-
sary for the pastor TO yindicate the dignity
Of womauhood, the church, and the press at
one and the same time. It was a fight to a
finish, without gloves, eatch-as-catch-
with Mrs. Banker IS umpire, refeSee and
spectator Three terrific knCck-outs did
the worl, completely, and Schmidt is likely
to die. Banker escaped without scratch.

Passion For WIS. JErr DAVIS.
editorial:

1he kichmond Dispatch says IN leading
editorial:
The Southern States ought to vote a pension 10
Mrs. Jefferson Davis, and Virginia should lead the
m9yemssat, nothing but fair aud rTousr. 'l.st
United States Government places the widows Of
its Presidents.
The duty dcvolves upon the States that com
posed the COnfedefacy. As the CoHfederaoy Is
thing OF the past II cannot be very costly preoe
dent for us inasmuch Rs there never viii be
other COnfedefacy, therefore never another widow
Of a Confederate President
Aside from the bad sentiment Of this
astonishing proposition, what about its
jlsiice? There are over 100000 negroes
10 The South, most Of whom own more or
less property. What sort Of justice would
there be in taxing them to pay pension to
the widow Of the man who was the chief
spirit in the great war to keep them in per-
yetual bondageg There are at least ] 100000
dsyoledly loyal Union men in the South
who also own a large amount Of property
Shall they be taxed to support in luxury.
the widow Of their arch-enemy? Then,
hundreds Of millions of Northern capital
have gone into the South 20 develop its
mines, factories and farms, 10 build its rail-
roads, establish towns, etc Shall all this
be burdened with the charge Of the relict Of
a great public enemy?
The Dispatch can do 10 greater injury Ia
its section than by the advocacy of this
wicked proposition. The name Of Davis is
Justly abhorEed in the country outside o.
Dixie. lie is rightly regarded as the en-,
bOdiment Of all that was wicked and wrong
in the rebellion. Every demonstration il

THERE seems 10 be no limit 10 the wick
edness Of Tammany. Roger A. Pryor, for
merly Gre-eating Congressman from Rir-
giniR, later q Brigadier-General in the rebel
army, and for many years lawyer in New
York, testifes that he paid Tammany $1,000
for . nomination as Judge. IL has been
generally known for years that Tammany
has been in the habit Of selling the long
term, hgh-salaried Judgeships for $4,000,
$4,000, and even $4,000; but this is the
fnst time that the fact has been made one
OF public record. PFyor's testimony was
given under the law requiring each candi-
date 10 Gle b sworn statement Of his election
expenses lie spent $1,000 more for various
purposes There can be no more alarming
thing to the people than this statement

Amy, the brutal murderer of pretty
Christy Warden, has been having his trial
in New Hampshire, and has sniyeled and

SOME INTERESTING rACTs.

Looking over the Journal of Proceedings
of the Tenth Annual Encampment of the
Sons of Veterans, copy of which has just
been received at this Office, one is struck
with the unusual zeal and ability displayed
by all the officers in the discharge of the
duties of their respective positions. None
of them seems TO be content with the simple
routine performance Of his functions, but
Is anxious to extend them in any direction
which will prove useful to the Order.
There is consequently an unusual quantity
of very interesting matter contained in
the book, which we will discuss at length
in future issnes Of THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE.
Just now the book happens to open at
the report Of the Surgeon General, who
gives very interesting analysis of the
membership of the Order in the Divisions of
California, Colorado, Connecticut, Illinois,
Kansas, Montana, Maine, Massachusetts,,
Michigan, New Hampshire, New Jersey,
New York, Pennsylvania, Vermont, Wash
ingtOn, and Wisconsin. This aggregates
