THE Arsenal flag raising and the
able and eloquent oratiOns on that
occasion, together with the great big
ball last night and the races in the
afternoon, with other such general
news as we must handle, were, all put
together, too much for our force and
our columns in one day. Our first ef-
fort, of course, must be to keep up
with the news, and without fiattering
ourselves we think we have done that
fairly well. Mr.. Moore's poem we
were fortunate in getting the manu-
script in time to give to our readers
Yesterday. Tomorrow we will give
Maj. Arnold's and Maj. Hughes
speeches in fall.

In behalf of Columbia and all its
people, we extend a hearty vote OF
thanks to Mai. and Mrs Isaac Arnold
for the generous hospitality shown
our visitors the last few days. Hav-
ing first secured the Arsenal appro-
priation for this point, Columbia was
doubly fortunate in having Maj.
Arnold placed as COmmandant Offl-
Ger in charge. The Arsenal build
ings and grounds are entirely under
the control of Maj. Arnold, and but
for his indulgence and the charming
hospitality of himself and Mrs
Arnold, much of the pleasure of the
occasion would have been denied our
guests; and we beg to assure them
that their kindnesses have been APP
preciated not only by the committees
in charge of the entertainment, but
by the public at large.

THE free coinage silver bill was
defeated in the House yesterday. 1t
NAV be safe to say that good many
men voted not so much against the
bill. as they voted for time. Even
among those who voted for it great
MANY regarded this as most mop
FORTUNE time to spring the question
and make the fight. The silver ques-
ton, though a great question, has
not become party question yet. 10
illustrate, the Democrats fused with
a few Republicans in the Senate ana
PASSED it. In the House, the RePub-
licans fused with a comparatively
few Democrats and defeated 1t
Thus it stands before the country as
having been endorsed by a Republi-
can Senate and defeated by Demo
cratic House, when everybody knows
that in both houses the big majority
of its friends have been Democrats
and its enemies have been Republi'
cans. The defeat of the bill at this
session means simply this and moth
ing more. The leaders have deter
mined that tariff reform shall be the
issue of this campaign. When the
battle is ,Fon on that, then they will
take up silver.

TILE RIGHT OF PETITION.

A petition is being circulated IN
Memphis asking the Governor to par
don III. Clay King, who is condemned
to be hung for the murder OF DAVID
H. Poston. The PostOn brothers have
unfinished card asking the citizens
not TO sign the petition for clemency.
In this card they say: ASIDE
from our personal feelings it seems 10
us that the question often asked,
whether a man of prominence ana
fortune can be punished in this
county for murder, will find its prac-
teal answer in this case"
The point is well taken, and
stronp argument is contained in that
one sentence. The question often
asked" is not confined to the county
of shelby, and the practical answer
will be heard and felt the State over
Its the delay of the law and the
uncertainty of the law that makes
mobs not only possible but popular IN
Tennessee. 1t is far too often thaC
Justice miscarries. The jurtes 1all
sometimes to do their duty, and they
are roundIy abused; as they would
have been had they failed to find
verdict of guilty in this case. And
yet, many of the men who woulo
have cried hang the jury, are no
doubt to-day signing the petition Ior
pardon or Communication.
The defendant, unfortunate though
he is, has had far better chance Ior
his life than he gave his victim. he
has had a fair and impartial trial by
a Jury of his peers, and has been pro-
J nounced by them guilty OF murder
and deserving death. The Supreme
Court has done we'll to ignore all
! technicalities and decide the appeal
: upon the justice in the case. De,
Tended by able counsel he mas hau
every chance for his life that the Ia"
|, he so ruthIessly violated gives to III

He still has left him the right o
oetitItion, which he and his frlend'
are now using, and which IL II

II his friends are performing thi

WHEN you come to think OF it Mr..
Mcdowell has no advantage over the
Democratic party when he wishes its
banner to trail beneath the black
hoofs of the Republican hosts. Any
decent Democrat in Tennessee would
vote for the blacklist Republican in
the State before he would TOte for the
renegade from Arkansas. And yet
this is the self same man w. ..

Ivy the highest position in the gift OF

o'clock Tuesday afternoon. About 300
feet of the East Tennessee, Virginia and

Mr.. CARNEGIE no doubt is work
ing the life out of his laborers at star
walton wages. Otherwise he could
not accumulate his millions so last.
Aud 1t is serious question OF vital
interest to humanity everywhere, to
know that this grinding process IS
q ling on. But another lesson to be
learned by the unhappy Carnegie
workmen, and lesson that Gov. Pat
tison should teach them, is, that
their only remedy is to stop working
for Mr.. Carnegie and seek employ
ment elsewhere. They have no right
to injure Mr.. Carnegie's property or
interfere with any who may desire to
work him. Labor unions are not only
right and proper, but it Is the duty
of workingmen to protect themselves
by union, for in union there IL
strength. But whenever they violate
the law aud undertake to destroy
property and to prevent others from
earning a living by the sweat OF their
brow, right then the law ought TO
deal with them just as it would with
o.her law breakers aud rioters. The
demagogy that talks of their "vested
rights" is the cheapest sort OF vote
catching stuff, aud the sympathy CIV
en- to them had better be bestowed
upon the families of those they deny
the right to support, This is too inn
portant question to be settled 10y

waste time searching for it abroad.
