MEMPHIS, Sept. 23-In the celebrated
case of r. NJ King. the Seventh Day Ad-
ventist, convicted in Obion county of
breaking the Sunday law, an appeal was

At this time ii Is almost impossible to
arrive at any fair conclusion as to how
the delegates thus far elected stand.
BY reading the McEnery papers we find
the result to he as follows:

meeting at Breaux Bridge to-mor-
row read as follows: Grand De-
mocratic Rally and Mass Meeting
at Breaux Bridge, Sunday Dec.
Ii, 1881. All good Democrats are
invited to attend" There is no.
thing in this call that says the in
tentlon of the meeting is to select
delegates to the Baton Rouge con-
ventlon in protestation of those
elected on the Goth of last month,
neither is there any special pur-
pose to be acted upon. We pre-
sumo the people when assembled
will present their views and dis
cuss matters generally, and do
what they think proper. No par
ticular friction is called, all the
Democrats are invited to attend.
the call is general, and all Demo-
Gratis who can, pros or ants, should
attend the meeting.
1t is almost useless for any
one to read the newspapers with
any real intention of learning how
is the political situation in the
state. The papers of both factions
give the news with so wide differ
ence, that it is entirely impossible
to make any calculation on the
situation; the only thing TO do now
is to take little patience and |
await the result of the convention
which meets in Baton Rouge We'd |
nesday next; then we will learn
which of the two factions suppress
ed the facts and published false
reports, thereby abusing and de-
ceiving the people who have the
right to expect the truth from the
newspapers. Are we in time
when trearhe ry, misrepresentation
and falsehUod is to be resor+ed to
for political interests, if SO, rather
than growing in civilization and
we seem to be grow
ing into a state of nudity if
the public press is not to he relied
on for correct information.
The MESSENGER is really SEN
sible at the sympathetic and SCOT
hing words expressed by it's con-
frere Of the Reveille, because of
our defeat at the mass meeting to
select delegates to the Baton Rouge
convention, and gives as the good
advise to lie on the right side the
next time so as not to be discomi-
tured. Never mind brother Re-
veille, the MESSENGER is not al
ways ON the winning side, but al
ways on the right side. The Mes
SENGER prefers TO stand defeat on
the right side than to be victori-
GUS on the WRONG side. We are
not yet discouraged, brother Re
veille, we were indeed little dis
appointed at the result in this par
ish, but we still hope that the con-
vention en- the 10Th inst, will vim
1icate our cause; then it will be
time for US to make our little
rooster" crow and boom our big
gun-you know we have a big gun,
but we will only fire it on grand
occasions, like, for instance. the
defeat of old Mac.
As will be seen by an adver-
tisement which appears in the
MESSENGER, the Sisters of Mercy
will give on the 26th inst, their
customary Christmas Tree enter
but this year it promis-
SOS to surpass all former years in
,plendcr and brilliancy. There

TIN PLATE

The st. Louis Globe Democrat, com.
menting on the prospects of tin plate
manufacture, and the prices under
existing conditions, calls attention to
an exhautive interview, published in
the columns Of that journal, with Mr..
Niedringhaus, of st. Louis, an extern
sive iron plate manufacturer, who is
now making tin plate at the rate of
40 boxes a day, and expects to make
800 boxes daily after August first.
The Globe Democrats says editOrlally:
I'll n-plate, according to the ex-COn-
eressman, whose new factory will
soon be in operation, will cost 10
more to the American consumer in
the next twelve years, on the average,
than it has in the past twelve, and
some of the finer qualities will cost
less. There is no p~retense, this is to
say, that prices will not
BIZ advanced by the tariff pro-
vision which went into operation
on July l. Prices have already gone
up slightly, and in fact, have been
somewhat higher for the past few
months than they were before the
Mckinley law was passed. But prices
eventually will be brought down to
the old level, or below 1t, and held
there.
II Mr.. Niedringhaus be correct in
his Judgment, and it is reasonable to
assume that he is, the increase of cost
in tin plate will be temporary only.
It will last q few years, and then the
decline 70 the old figures will set in.
The assumption is rendered reason
able by the fact that this has been
the course of things in every important
branch of manufacture which has had
adequate tariff protection. The in
variable tendency in the first place,of
course, is toward higher rates; but
these, which furnish an incentive to
increase in production, create the
home competition that eventually
! cuts down prices. The tariff is MAX
ing 1t an object for many men in
different parts Of the country to
embark in tin plate manufacturing,
and the business rivalry thus
aroused will foster the spirit of in.
| vention of labor economizing devices.
| the result of which will be- q lower.
ing Of prices while leaving manufac-
turers' profits ample. Meanwhile In
one other great branch of industry we
| will be making ourselves Independent
of the outside world. We will be
| opening an avenue for new and lucra-
tive employment to tens of thousands
of persons, developing our material
resources and calling out and Guilt.

THAT growing lake in California
does not come from the Pacific. That
much 10 settled, and the earthquake
canard and all the rest of 1t goes
down to the credit of the imaginative
reporter. The water comes from in
land not from seward, and has its
source in the Colorado. How far it
may affect the railway lines is not
ascertainable, but the water is steadi-
ly rising. The San Jose reporter who
placed the railway tracks 300 feet be-
low the level of the sea, and made
such astonishing revelations in the
press dispatches Sd July can probably
tell all about the situation, on paper,
but no one knows positively what to
make of the situation, or what the re-
suit Is likely to be.
