WooDFoRD, Tenn, July lit is
rumort Il that a young man by the
name of John Smith was found near
my place in a senseless condition |;
that he had been beaten and robbed
of his money. l wish to say that
there is no foundation to the report.
/ first saw young Smith at Landon
Holt's, young man living on my
place. John Smith had been making
hoesheads for J. f. Morrow, and was
taken sick and started hom?. On his
way he grew worse and stopped in at
Mr.. Hollis, the above named, and l
was sent for at once. He was in
delirious condition and remained SO.
From some unknown cause severe
cellulitis developed, which caused his
death. The rumor started from what
h. said in delirious condition. Mr..
Morrow had not paid him amy money,
and his friends say that he had no
money when he left home. Respect

WHY Is IT NOT SOLIDf

The New York Press in summing up the
Republican strength in the House ma kes
the statement with regard to the Penn
sylvania delegation that ''the solid Phila-
delphia delegation remains" and thereby
commits singular error in fact A solid
Republican delegation from Philadelphia
does not remain. 1t did not exist, in the
the first place; but it might have existed
in the coming Congress if the Republican
leaders had seen fit to take advantage of
the circumstances. That they did not
choose to gain seat for the party and
turned over the Republican vote in round
lot to Democrat is matter of history.
There may be dispute as to the purpose
of this remarkable transaction; but so far
we have heard no denial of the charge
that it was done by way of trade for legis-
lative votes in the interest of the Sena-
toriaI proprietor of the Philadelphia Re-
publicans.
In view of the fact that the Philadelphia
delegation might have been solidly Re-
publican, but Is not, it would seem
pertinent to have clear understanding
whether the party fealty which condemns
private persons for using independence in
their votes permits party leaders to sell
out party interests in block for their own
personal aggrandizement

TWO WAYS TO LOOK AT IT.

The fact that the widow of the late
Samuel j. Randall recently filed in the
Philadelphia probate court statement
that her husband did not have enough es-
tate to pay the expense of an accounting
is widely referred to. The general COM
ment is that this proof of the comparative
purity of Mr.. Randall is highly creditable
to him.
In one sense 1t undoubtedly is. That
Mr.. Randall in the influential position
which he held could have accumulated an
immense fortune if he had chosen to re-
sort to methods which some other poll
ticians seem to think legitimate is beyond
dispute. Other politicians with no greater
opportunities have become millionaires.
1t is to Mr.. Randall's undying honor that
be rejected such opportunities to make
wealth out of his official position at the
cost of dying poor. 1t is far better to ac-
cept poverty and be unable to even pay
debts than to turn political power into
merchandise and sell out the public inter-
est for private .wealth-although great
many politicians do not seem to think so.
But in another respect the state of Mr..
RandalPs affairs thus disclosed is less
creditable to his memory, and is decidedly
discreditable to the social standard of the
day. For over aquarter of century be-
fore his death Mr.. Randall was in receipt
of salary of s., 900 per year. We do not
regard this as by any means a liberal re-
turn for bis public services, but it is no
more than personal common sense that
man in receipt of 81, 900 year ought to be
able to live comfortably and lay aside
something for the future.
1t is true that society at Washington ex-
poets man of Mr.. Randah's prominence
to spend more than that sum; but what
vulgar and senseless standard it is which
tends to fix mans social status by his
expenditure rather than bis character, and
calls upon statesmen to live beyond their
means and leave their families unprovided
for! A man who had force of character,
as Mr.. Randall had, to resist the tempta-
ton to make money by questionable uses

APRAIsEwoRrHY A BACk-povN.

Having swallowed everything which
bore the Democratic stamp during the
campaign in the interest Of its candidate
the New York Post is now engaged in
taking back much of it. Here is one i'm
portant effort, from a recent editorial:
The Evening Post supported Mr.. Cleveland
in the recent campaign, but did not commit
itself to any particular policy in reference
to the tax on State bank notes. We do not
believe that any political party will ever
take the risk of unconditional repeal Of that
tax. The possibilities OF mischief are too
great and the punishment for sny mistake
would be only too swift and certain.
This may be true to the letter, but it is
decidedly inaccurate as to the spirit.
While the Post did not in so many words
commit itself to the unconditional re-
peal of the tax on State bank notes, it
supported the Democratic proposition in
several long spacious articles, the dis
ingenuousness of which The DISPATCH
several times referred to. 1t even went
so far as to allege that the Democratic
platform was not for unconditional re-
peal, which was positive misrepre-
sentation; and it abounded in allegations
that the national bank currency is certain
of extinction, and that State hank circu-
lation is the safest substitute, both of
which promises are incorrect. Having
taken this course to shift ground on the
words unconditional repeal' is creeping
out of very small hole.
Nevertheless it is sign of grace that
having gone the whole hog in the cam
paign there is now a disposition to 90
back on the reactionary and mischievous
doctrines advocated for campaign pur-
poses. THE DISPATCH has already ex-
pressed the hope that the Democratic
organs with any desire to maintain repu-
tation for soundness on financial m alters
would oppose that most injurious and dis
honest policy. 1t is satisfactory that the
Post is doing so, even though it uses the
smallest bubbles in its shift of position.
Nevertheless the fact that journals Of
character conceived it necessary to tempo
rarily swallow such an unjustifable propo-
sition is one of the most discouraging ex-
hibitions of the exigencies of so-called
reform politics.

MIR. PoWpERLY,s POINT.

Mr. Powderlys annual address to the
Knights of Labor deals among other
things with the divisions among labor or
ganizations. This is phase of the labor
question which has been prominent of
late, so much so as to evoke comment in
these columns. When the divisions went
to the length, in some cases, of trying to
involve business in their quarrels, by one
organization striking against or trying to
boycott people who held relations with
the other. it was evident that these divis-
ions were fatal vice in labor organiza-
ton.
Yet, as is perhaps not unnatural, Mr..
Powderly fails to perceive the full mean
Ing of this difficulty. He points out that
the tendency Of capital is toward consoli-
dation, while that of labor seems to be
toward division. The statement is correct
only as regards certain classes or interests
of capital, the small capitalist being as
much subject to the aggressions of the
great combinations as the workingman is.
But he thinks that the remedy for the con-
centration of the special classes of capital
Is an equal concentration of labor. At the
bdHC blluc LIS ONu SuOWlUS ludhcS IL NcIy
clear that no such concentration of the
labor forces can be made permanent, ex-
cept by utterly destroying the individual
freedom of the workingman.
The real significance of the fact which
Mr.. Pewderly points out is that in the in
terest of the masses, to whom such solidar-
ity as is attained by the trusts is impossi-
bic, there should be no such concentra-
tions except as are necessary for the per-
formance of industrial services The wild
est democracy of industry should be aimed
at, and the small capitalist placed as near
ly on an equality with the greater one as
is possible This is the only way to make
things equal The hope of establishing
such concentration of the masses as is
possible to certain classes OF capital is fu-
tile in the very nature Of the case.
The sooner labor perceiyes this truth
the better. Labor organization is undoubt-
edly means to the end; but the goal to
be aimed at is the greatest independence
Of the small capitalist and the widest indi-
vidual freedom of labor.
