Talk About the Tariff.

TRENTON, TENN, September 15.-Sen-
ator Isham G. Harris opened the cam
paign in Tennessee here to-day in q
speech to one of the largest crowds that
eve assembled. The whole town put on
holiday attire and excursion trains
brought great crowds from points in West
Tennessee. Senator Harris was in his
happiest mood and was frequently inter-
rupted by cheers.
Mr.. Harris said that while the tariff
bill was not entirely satisfactory to him
or a large majority of Democratic Sena-
tors, he could assert with absolute conf
dence that it is the best tariff bill for the
consumer and the taxpayer that has been
passed by or enforced by Congress in the
last twenty years. He did not hesi-
tate to denounce as unjust. unfounded
and absolutely false statement that
the Senate was controlled by the Su-
gar Trust. He did not believe tina. a
single Democratic Senator was so con-
trolled.
Speaking of the currency question,
Senator Harris said: ~ should be glad
to have an international agreement, but
I am satisfied that no such agreement is
possible and probable at this time. 1t is
therefore inevitable we must, by our
legislation, provide for the coinage Of
both metals and maintenance of parity.
Let us formulate and establish our own
home policy and maintain it. We are
able to do it, and its our duty to establish
and maintain a bi-metalllc standard in
our country. When We owe other coun-
tries we will find means Of payment.
If not in cotton, wheat, or other of
our products, we may possibly make
terms with shylocks for gold enough to
pay"

RavIshers and Lynchers.

MONTGOMERY, ALA, September To-
The National Colored Baptist Convention,
now in session here, unanimously passed
"NYbereas. the negroes of the South are
charged by their white neighbors as be-
ing possessed of such strong and unbrl-
died lust as constantly exposes the white
women of the South tc the attacks and
abuses of the rapis!s; and
"Whereas, the negroes supposed guilty
have caused the white people of certain
sections of the country to pour upon us
such forms of mob violence as is seldom
seen in any civilized country; and
"Whereas, we realize that no crime
which can be committod against the ylr-
tuous fumale can impose a greater and
severer personal loss than the crime of
rape, and that no crime which may he
com mittsd against State can do more to
blot out the sentiments of love and JUS
tice from the hearts Of it's people and do
more to undermine the stability and
prosperity of the government than the
reign of mobs therefore, be 1t
'fResolved, by tho Colored Baptists OF
the United States of America, in conven-
ton Assem- bled in the city of Montgome-
ry, Ala, a constituency representing 2"
100000 persons;
81. That we hate, with all the strength
of our God-fearing hearts, the diaholical
crime of rape, whether in white or black,
and VOW to use all the legal and moral
means at our command to put down and
crush out the british disposition which
would thus fearfully and wantonly tram
pie upon female virtue.
''2. That the taking Of human life for
rape or other crimes, without adequate
proof of guilt established by due process
of law, Is itself crime and species of
barbarism and lawlessness WHICH we pray
the people of the country to no longer
tolerate.
's3. That our thanks are due and the
same are hereby extended to Miss Ida Il.
Wells and to all other justice and liberty
loving people, North and South, at home
and abroad, for the efforts they have
made and are now making to create
sentiment which has for its object the res
toration to favor and to power that which
is noblest in human nature and that
which brings peace, prosperity and sta
bility to govern ments.
"4. That we gratefully recognize the
fact that there is growing clement
among our white neighbors, who wish
our peace and prosperity in the South,
and who are more and more inclined 10
extend US helping hand and to voice
the spirit of justice and fairness through
the pulpit and the press"
Another resolution, specifically thank
ing the Governor of Tennessee, several
Southern newspapers and certain Mem
phIs officials for the part they had taken
in bringing the lynchers in the recent
Western Tennessee lynching to justice,
was also passed.

A Patriot Preacher.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, September 13.-At a
meeting of the ex-Confederate Historical
and Benevolent Association last night,
Rev. r. G. Cave. of this city, was invited
to speak. He made an address on the
Southern question, of which the follow
ing is part:
1--WE have held our peace for thirty
years, while the Northern people have
represented us as an ignorant horde of
rebels and traitors, battling only to hold
human beings in the hands of slavery.
eff tits true that the C Confederates were
traitors, and fought only for slavery, the
hest thing that we can do is not to build
monuments, but to tear those down that
now stand, neglect the graves of the
Southern dead until the beating rain
smooths the little mound to the level of
the plain, and nature covers the place
with it's broad mantle Of green and with
it the shame of the Southland. But if
the men who followed Lee, Jackson and
Missouri's Price. were not rebels and
traitors, but true-hearted patriots, bat
Ting for their homes and native land, we
owe it to them and to ourselves to boldly
affirm and to fearlessly assert it."

Again the ChignOn.

With the sanction of Queen Victoria the
old-fashioned chignons, Of heavy head
dress and false hair, and which was all
the rage among the feminine community
in the fifties and sixties have again come
into style, and the artificial hair dealers,
whose trade has been languishing for
years, are delighted with the prospect of
being once more In clover.
The reintroduction OF the fashion is
placed to the credit of the princess of
Wales, whose black hair has been getting
remarkably thin of late, and as result Of
which she is determined to revert to
style prevailing at the time of her mar
riage thirty years ago.
The nobility and aristocracy have lost
no time in falling into line. and almost
daily for the past two weeks the streets
outside the leading lady hair dressers
have been blocked for hours daily with
swell equipages.
Queen Victoria, who has always had a
weakness for this style of head-dressing,
looks upon the revival with favor, and
the next issue of the "Court Gazette" will
announce that chienons will be de rigeur
at all future drawing room levoes and
other Court functions.

,,.Ten,Ske1etons In q Care.

R1cnMoSD, VA, Sept. IA Bristol,
Tenn, special to the Dispatch says !:
Charles Rector, and boy named Nor
ris, in exploring cave near Seven Mile
Ford, Virginia, thirty miles east of this
place, Yesterday discovered two skele-
tons forty feet below the surface. The
cave had long been known, but no one
had ever attempted to explore it because
of its great depth. The Morris boy was
let down by rope.
When the find was reported. party
went to the cave to investigate further.
In all ten skeletons were taken out, and
were adiudged to be the bones of neh.
women and children. One skeleton was
found in sitting position, with the skull!
reclining on the arms, which were folded
across the knees.
Thus far there Is but one way to account
for the charnel house. Old citizens say
that many years ago, there was an inn
kept near this cave by man named AL
len, and that occasionally people who
stopped there had mysteriously disap-
peared, and were never again heard of:
The supposition is that they were killed
in this inn, robbed of their va!uables and
then consigned to the cave. Some OF the
skeletons discovered were partially
buried under stones, and many OF the
Zones were broken. Whether these
stones were scales which fell from over
head, or were placed there by foul
hand, could not be positively determin-

Murder, and worse, In Georgia.

SAVANNAH, GA, September 16.-A spe-
cial to the Morning News from Thomas
Vile, Ga, says: There was peculiarly
brutal rape and murder in Thomas
County, about six miles from Thomas
Vile, yesterday. A twelve-year-old white
girl, daughter OF Martin Butler, had gone
to spring to get water, and not return
ing her mother started in search and
found that she had been assaulted and
her throat cut.
The girl was not dead and lisped out the
name Of her assailant, Dave Gooseby, a
negro living in the neighborhood: The
cut in the little girls neck was a fearful
one, and DR.. J. G. Boskins, who did all he
could for her, had to administer chloro-
form, which caused heaving. This
burst the arteries afresh and the little
sufferer bled to death.
The whole community was wild with
excitement and indignation, and the ne

brute, and eluded the lynchers, and says
he has Gooseby in a safe place, and that

H. Fl. WATKINS,
The Successful Advertiser !

Is the man who writes something the
people will read, and reading, believe. In
this age of education and enlightenment,
when men read and think for themselves,
all that stuff about ''selling goods cheaper
than your competitors buy them," being
the "only competent dealers in the line,"
"handling better stuff than anybody
else," &c, is mere clap trap, and subjects
the writer ard the firm back of it to the
contempt of all right-thinking people. The
man who has something to offer, and then
tells the folks about in plain, business
way, is the man who "gets there" and
getting there stands.
Lots of people handle Paint. Some
handle one kind some another, but they
all realize, if they have any business sense
at all, that in order to make that business
q permanent success it is absolutely neces-
sary to give the people the very best ma
terial. This we have tried to do, and at a
price that puts it in the reach of all.
In this connection we call attention to
the fact that crops are about laid by, time
is plentiful, and a little paint not only
freshens and beauties, butimproves won
derfully the sanitary condition OF the
premises. If your house is all right may
be the fence needs coat. A little Paint
would keep that old buggy from falling
down, and the wagon might last year or
two longer by spending soventy.five cents
or dollar in Paint Oh it.
Remember this, the longer you put 1t
off the more it takes and the less good 1t
does. Remember another thing, it costs
Just as much, and takes just as much time,
to have cheap paint put on as it does good
Paint. Always buy the best, evea if you
pay more for it.

Can You Pronounce Themf

with instruction, why not try pro-
nunciation test Seat some well in
formed person in front Of an unabridg-
ed dictionary, and then call upon

ployed at teachers institute in YER
mont. A prize was offered to whoever
could read it correctly, but there was
no winner, as the smartest competitor
made twelve mistakes. Here is the
exercise:
"a sacrilegious son of Belial, who
has suffered from bronchitis, having
exhausted his finances, in order to
make good the deficit resolved to ally
himself to comely, lenientand docile
young lady Of the Malay or Caucasian
race. He accordingly purchased a
calliope and coral necklace of chame-
leon hue; and, securing suite Of
rooms at principal hotel, he engaged
the head waiter as his conjutor. He
then dispatched letter of the most
unexceptional caligraphy extant, in
viting the young lady to matinee.
She revolted at the idea, refused to
consider herself sacri6cable to his
desires, and sent polite note of
refusal, on receiving which he procur-
ed carbine and bowie knife, said that
he would not now forge fetters hyme-
neal with the queen, and went to an
isolated spot, severed his jugular vein,
and discharged the contents Of the
carbine into his abdomen. The debris
was removed by the coroner. ("
The mistakes in pronunciation were
made on the following words: Sacrile-
gious, Belial, bronchitis, exhausted,
finances, deficit, comely, lenient, do
cile, malay, calliope, chameleon, suite,
coadjutor, caligraphy, matinee, sacri-
ficable, carbine, hymeneal, isolated,
