OF COURSE it is a SANDER for Senator
Sherman to say that the friends Of
General Alger tempted with money
poor negroes to violate the instruc-
tons of their constituents. No Re-
publican would attempt to influence
poor negroes or any one else with
money. They don't do this business
that way; they just give them carte
blanche when it comes to making up
the tariff schedules.

A REPREHENsIBLE PRACTICE.

The transparent and reprehensible
practice of passing over the dramatic
footlights huge masses of flowers pur-
chased by the actor or actress to whom
they are ostentatiously presented would
perhaps be viewed will less disgust by
the general public if the flowers were
sent to the city hospitals instead of fad
ing in hotel rooms or being returned to
the florist for rebate on the purchase

The table estimating the relative
strength of free silver and sound money,
or, as they put it, gold, made by the
free silver organizations recently in SEES
sion at Chicago and put out as their Off
cial utterance, gives the gold advocates
in the next National Democratic con-
yention 400 delegates and the silver ad-
vocates 294 delegates, with 1873 doubt
full with Texas in the doubtful column.
This estimate, which they have put
forth, was prepared by Hon. j. H. Ack-
len of Nashville, Tenn, one of the most
rabid free silver Democrats in the coun-
try. Mr.. Acklen says: 81 regard the
exhibit as the exact position of the gen
eral sentiment of the Democratic party
as it will line up in the next convention"
Out of total of 1888 votes the free
silver men claim only 300 votes. In the
face of this fact does it not look like
folly for the free silver men to disrupt
the Democratic party on a subject that
they have no chance in the world of
having adopted by the Democracy of the
country? 1t looks like the free silver
men intend to rule or ruin.

MUCH SOUGHT FOR NEGROES
A Tennessee Mob's Unsuccessful Search
for Two Blacks.

Nashville, Tenn, Sept. 22.-Two at.
tempts were made Friday by mobs to
capture Harrison and Fuller and Frank
Simpson, both negroes, who were the
cause of an attack on the Lexington jail
some nights ago.
AT Lexington mob of citizens held
up train bound for Camden, where it
was supposed the negroes had been taken
for safe keeping, and forced the conduc-
tor to carry them to Hollow Rock. Here
they attempted to bulldoze a Nashville,
Chattanooga and st. Louis conductor
to take them to Camden, but he bluffed
them, threatening them with the conse-
quences of holding up mail train and
the mob got off.
Some, however, paid their way to Cam
den and found the negroes were not there
and attempted to hold up freight train
and make the conductor carry them with
out pay. But they did not succeed, and
have not yet located the prisoners. These
are the same negroes who were attempt
ed to be lynched at Lexington last week
and who fired on the attacking mob kill
ing and wounding several members. The
negroes have been brought to this city
for protection.

PRIZE FIGHTS.

The New Orleans Picayune believes
that it voices the sentiments of the
great majority of the community when it
deplores the fact that another Of these
brutal exhibitions is to be permitted to
take place within the borders of the
United States. 1t is true that we have
had many such affairs in New Orleans,
but our people are all the more convinced
because of that intimate experience that
the prize ring is as bad as it is painted,
and that the moral influence on the COM
munity is bad. Prize fighting as con-
Quoted here was robbed of much of the
disorder it is usually occasions elsewhere,
and the events as such occurrences are
facetiously called, were well managed,
as far as the attendance and the main
tenance of order were concerned. But,
even with all that, the results were most
deplorable, and the moral influence upon
the masses of the population was decid-
edly harmful"

WE ARE ONE.

The Chattanooga Times says: "The
most striking feature of the event is the
fact that the United States recognizes
with equal honors both the forces which
fought for its preservation and those
WHO fought to disintegrate it. In no
other affair of kindred nature has the
National government officially taken cog
nizance of the eX-Confederates But
why should it not be so? The seeding
States again constitute a part of the
Union. They have come back into the
sisterhood upon equal terms. Their peo-
pie have accepted in perfect good faith
the results of the conflict upon which
they staked their all. To dishonor them
would be to disparage the achievements
of the men who overcame them. Their
splendid feats of arms are part of the
common heritage of American people.
The government honors itself in honor
ing them. The rnagnanimity of the ex-
Federal soldiers in thus meeting their
former foes on common ground is a
prouder act than even their deeds of
gallantry on the field of battle. Moth
ing has yet occurred which so truly shows
that the war is over as the dedication
of the OhickamaugaC Chattanooga Ma
tional military park"

The fact that it was mentioned at the
Harvard commencement dinner that
there is one advantage for a university,
and that record of 250 years old, has
been critically commented on by the adj
mirers and partisans Of younger universe
ties. If age is the main recommendation
university has lived in vain. Age has
its prejudices and traditions that are not
versity. In fact, Harvard has Topped off
in late years some of its traditions, es-
pecially in regard to the classics. Harv-
ard has adopted the modern plan of grad
uating specialists, which is a very decid-
ed innovation on its classic traditions.
The older universities may give kind of
aroma to their diplomas that the young
er do not but that is more a sentiment
than a positive and practical advantage.
One not knowing the recent changes at
Harvard and other old institutions of
learning might attribute higher CLASH
cal education to its graduates than they
would be entitled to, but when it is
known that Harvard gives a diploma to
students who know nothing of the class
les, and that it does not differ in that re-
spect from modern universities the game
that its age plays is understood. A uni
versity soon acquires a standing on its
merits, with which age has nothing to
do, as evidenced by Johns Hopkins at
Baltimore and the University of Texas
at Austin.

WESTERN WATERWAYS

The Memphis Commercial Appeal says:
"Mr. D. B. Wood of New Orleans, an
old Pittsburger, has issued a call for a
convention to meet at Vicksburg. Octo-
Der o. to consider means for the i'm
provement of Western waterways. The
call alludes in strong language to the
necessity of taking care of the Missis-
sippi river. AS regards the immediate
interest of Pittsburg, the call says:
The Ohio river, upon whose 1894
miles of navigable waters, according
to the census report, is owned and
float vessels aggregating in tonnage
1928, 46S tons, and where originate in
a year 15,600,439 tons of traffic or 1872
S2S tons more than the combined freight
traffic fof the Missouri and Mississippi
rivers. The people of the Ohio valley
will ask from congress better care of
those important highways. Theirs
should be made common cause"
