Justice Jackson's Death.

NASHVILLE. Tenn, Aug. 8-Howell
Edmupds Jackson. Associate Justice
of the Supreme Court Of the United
States died at 2 p. N. at his residence
at West Meade, six miles from this
city aged 63. Judge jackson had been
in falling health for several years,
but it has only been 10 the last nine
months that the progress in the dis
ease began to cause his family and
friends uneasiness. Last year be
went on lengthy trip to the far West
iu search of health Later he went
to Thomasville. Ca, where it was
hoped the mild and braciug climate
would restore his vigorous constitu-
ton. The trip did him little good and
after time be was brought home.

scenes be loved so we'll, Judge Jack.
sou seemed to improve steadily until
he went to Washington to sit in the
second hearing of the income tax case.
He stood that trying trip fairly we'll and
after his return home appeared to lose
strength rapidly. He was afflicted with
a complication Of diseases which it was
impossible to fight of Nevertheless,
Judge Jackson did not take to his bed
until eight days ago Since that time
his family and friends realized that the
end was near and his death to-day vas
not unexpected. Judge jackson was
twice married, the first time to Miss
Sophia Malloy. daughter of David B.
Malloy, a banker Of Memphis, who
died 10 1878. To this union were born
four children as follows Henry, Mary,
William H.. and Howell Jackson.
Henry Jackson is at present soliciting

Jackson is district attorney of the
Chesapeake and Ohio railroad at Gin
cinnati. Howell Jackson is manager

Louis aud Harding A. Jackson, survive
him.

The Georgia Melon in the
Northwest.

"There is tragedy or comedy
il. every Georgia watermelon J"
This remark was recently made
by one of the largest fruit dealers
in Chicago He meant that the
shippers in Georgia never know
whether their melons would bring
them cash return or liability.
MANY car loads Of melons this
summer have not paid freight
charges and were left on the hands
of the railway companies to dispose
of. Other kinds of fruit are cheap
and Georgia is long distance from
the market and freight charges are
high. The commission merchants
have made very little. In one in
stance merchant sent the shipper
$40 for 5000 melons, and received
a letter of thanks, the correspondent
saying that on another consignment
equally as large he was out of
pocket for the freight. The fruit
growers Of Southern Missouri are
furnishing many of the melons, and
one man in that district shipped
last week thirty-thre car loads to
Chicago. The Missouri shippers get
from a cent and a half to four cents
piece for their melons, after all
expenses are paid, and the Geor.
gians are lucky when they get a
cent for ten melons.
Cheaper freight rates do not offer
much hope for the melon men OF
this section. What Southern pro-
ducers need is more and hetter
home markets, and we cannot have
them until immigration and diver,
si6ed industry build up our cities
and towns. -4Atlanto Constitution.

order are the universal rule, but any
one who has visited the far East, and
especially in the Foochow province,
recognizes it as heroic deed of the
grandest type. The natives of that
district are among the most turbulent,
savage, brutal and vicious in the
Chinese Empire. Bishop Williams,
who studied them critically, said that

The Financial Question.

1t is the duty Of every man who
feels tha: he knows or realizes what
may be for the veal or woe of his
fellow citizens, to speak OFT; and
more especially is this the case when
they are composed largely of the
poor and deserving-the widows.
minors and orphans of the land. l
have especial reference now to the
"silver craze" and it's influence upon
the finances of the country, if carried
out to its dire consummation accord
ing to the plans of that arch schemer
and consummate trickster, B R.
Tiilmsn By way Of illustration,
here is family-mother and orphan
children-who have $l,000.00 in a
savings bapk-the hard earned saw
ings of the dead husband aud father
perhaps their little all. The
country is flooded with silver, and
what is the result? Their little capi-
tai is deprecated 25 or so per cent :,
and they are practically impover-
ished.
Thus would it be in hundreds and
thousands of cases, and the country
is swept as with bosom of destruc-
ton. Appearances are oft-times
most deceptive-money will appa-
rentIy be very plenty, debts, COM
paratively easily paid-but stop just
here and consider Will the debtor
is the beneficiary, how is it with the
creditor Is not be the loser in the
same proportion ?-25 or so per cent.
In other words he gets only half the
just debt. which was due him Is
this right? Is it just? Ah. but
those aspirants for high places-the
Presidential chair, for instance-will
need much more money in ad-
dition to that which has been So mys-
teriously piled up already, and they
are consequently most Jealous in their
advocacy of this and other populistic
schemes that they may be the better
prepared to carry out their nefarious
designs
Mr. Editor, need say more on this
subject? 1t should be sufficient for
all parties concerned-a word to the
wise, &c.-and this accounts largely
for the hosting the food gates of
abuse, billingsgate and vituperation,
which has been poured out upon the
devoted head OF our gallant leader,
Grover Cleveland, and his scarcely
less deserving, in this connection, as
sociate, Mr.. Carlisle.
