1t appears now chat an extra SEES
sion ofthe Legislature will be neces-
sary to correct the blunder in the
registration laws. The Legislature
in amending the law intended to
make it apply to counties having
$4,000 population, but somehow it
was made to read $4,000 voting pop
ulation which no county in the state
has, and the law becomes a nullity.
There are grave doubts whether the
election of senator will be legal un.
less the State is redistricted as re-
quired by the constitution, and the
press is largely in favor of an extra
session.

The Nashville Herald is little off
There is nothing wrong in "the con-
tinuous organization of alliance
lodges" but the mischief being
plotted by organizing congressional
districts for the purpose of turning
out the ablest, truest and most eff
cient representatives., such men as
McMillin, Washington, Enloe, Pat
terson and all who don't endorse the
subtreasury plan and fill their
places with men who are willing
to serve as tools for Macune. There
are but few men engaged in this,
such as get elected to Office, but they
are popping their whip over the
rank and file, denouncing all who re-
fuse to fall into line rs traitors to their
cause.

The grain market has experienced
a rapid decline during the past week.
The decline in the last three days
has been eight to ten cents per BUSH
ell. Recently the prices were run up
very high and the cable messages
stated that the wheat crop in Europe
would be almost failure. Now the
wheat prospect is improving, and
the bulls having unloaded, the mar
ket tumbles. So it is, fortunes are
made and lost in the grain pits.
Corn and oats are in sympathy with
wheat.

There is as much discussion in the
newspapers as to whether Senator Quay
will resign the chairmanship of the Ma
tionaI Committee, as there is about Mr..
Blaine's health. If the newspapers could
be believed, Mr.. Quay has already been
retired because President Harrison does
not want him in the position he holds to
the party, and Mr.. Blaine is at deaths
door from Bright's disease. although
those who know him best and have a
right to speak, say he has not been in
better health for some years.

Convict labor

While our Judgment and sympathies
are Away on the side of the enforce>
ment of law, yet there are considera-
tions connected with the disturbance at
Biceville coal mines in Tennessee. which
clearly indicate that the striking miners
are in principle and policy right There
are 1000 regular miners employed in
these mines and 500 convicts. The mi
ners resented the degradation of their
calling by placing them on a footing with
thieves and murderers, and consequent,
~ determined to evict the conyicts. at
all hazards. The militia was called. but
the miners defied them, and ran the con
yicts out. The Governor was applied to
and he ordered out large contingent OF
militia. The miners, however, are thor
oughly organized and well armed. and
declare that the convicts shall not go TO
work, unless the Governor promises to
convene the Legislature for the purpose
OF amending or modifying the law. by
which conyicts are leased to work on
public improvements. The Governor has
assured them he will do so. With this
understanding, the miners say they will
wait for the action of the Legislature,
and not create farther disturbances. A
feature about the action of the miners is
that they very wisely will allow no one
to join their ranks vino either has whis-
key about him, or Will use it on such an
occasion. They believe they have a lust
cause, and propose to present it to the
Legislature and leave it to the lawmak
ing power to say whether honest labor
shall be degraded by placing it side by
side with convict labor. Their case an
peals strongly to the sense of right. of self
respect and the good of the community.
and we have no doubt will find a ready
ear in the Legislature This whole con
Wet lease system, as it relates to public
improvements, ought to be abolished
and honest labor employed to work on
such enterprises. A-few dollars in mon
ey ought not to weigh feather with the
State in giving its sanction and encour-
agement to the laboring classes of the
country, and divorcing it as far as the
poles, from the presence of felons and
thieves

Several of the speakers at the Staun-

cared for the third party, and all the
speakers made clear that neither of them
intended to play second fiddle to either
Democrats or Republicans. Mr.. Beverly
said it was not the intention of the ALI
ance to prevent any member from voting
with his party. provided the party was
in accord with the Alliance in its decla-
rations respecting silver. greeabacks.
&c, but must always place the cause of
the Alliance first. He said that the
Alliance was not a political party, but it
was in politics, for that is the only way
it can be felt
