What promises to be the hottest and most
bitter political fight Memphis has had in "A
long time. broke out today. The row is
caused by the contest for the shoes of the
late United States Attorney ]. A. Taylor,
an office which pays $1,000 a year. Presi-
dent Cleveland notified Congressman Pat
terson that he would appoint any man
whom the congressman recommended. Then
the fight commenced. Congressman Pattcr-
son opened headquarters in the federal
building and listened to the friends of the
dozen or more applicants.
Today Colonel Patterson announced that
he had decided to recommend Captain c.
i. Simonton, OF Covington, Tenn. Cor the
place.
When this decision became known this
afternoon, the StOrmcloud broke Friends
OF the defeated aspirants openly charged
treachery on the part of Colonel Patterson.
Tie CONGRESSMAN. they said, had promised
not later than last Sunday that he would
recommend the appointment Of a resident
OF the city of Memphis. IL was openly
charged that the appointment WAS the
result of political deal to keep Captain

A Party of Spoliation.

How completely the Republi- can party has become the instru- ment of interests with selfish ends to be promoted by Legislation is proved by the unanimous action of the Republican legislative eau GUS in Nebraska in the selection of John NJ. Thurston as the party candidate for United States Sena- tor.
 Thurston is the general solicitor of the Union Pacific Railroad. The Union Pacific Railroad Com pany is indebted to the United States Government for millions of dollars, representing the principal and interest of Union Pacific bonds guaranteed hy the Government, Payment of this debt, as we'll as the discharge of other ust and le- gal obligations, has been resisted by the corporation with success. The effort to force the company to a settlement is to continue, however, and to protect itself against such an effort the company has concluded to put it's ablest at torney In the upper house of Con- gress.
 To carry out such a bold enter prise as this the Democratic party could not be depended upon. The Nebraska Democrats nominated for the Senate William J. Bryan. The Republicans made no nomina- ton because the railroad mana gers saw their greatest safety in the caucus plan. In the Nebraska State Convention of tho Republi, can party the railroad influences were predominant and forced the nomination of 'fom" Majors, a local attorney and lobbyist of the Union Pacific corpo ration, as the candinate for Governor. In that nomination the issue was made too plain to be misunderstood and Majors Was defeated by an outrag- ed people.
 Alter such a result, what a mockcry will the election of

Will The New Japan Stand?

The ostentation with which the Japanese Government promulgat- ed its rules of warfare and the ap- parent manliness with which it has been denouncing the Port Arthur method of its soldicry will make the thoughtful stop awhile before arriving at judgment re- specting the fixed policy of the people of Japan.
 The cunning race has learned that prestige in the sisterhood of enlightened nations depends in Il large measure on the evidences of abandonment of barbaric practices. The heads of the executive depart ments have determined upon such course, but it is quite evident that the general population is not yet at that point in development at which it is possible for the mere posting of rules to effect a change in tho natural methods of the mas ses.
 Wo fear that there has been un- due haste on the part of the press and Governments of the civilized world in commenting all things of the new Japan. The intent of the Government there may be all right, but Government without a spirited support of the people will not hold out long on given poli- cy.
 Heroic fighting by the Japanese is not due so much to . patriotic feeling rallying around the Gov ernment, but to the inborn race instinct that makes the yellow men of China the natural enemy The victories do not stamp the Japanese as great, for there is nc opposition.
 Japan is lucky in becoming the craze. She will be fortunate il she shall be able to maintain the respect for her that this war has bred among the great Governments of the world.-Repubiic.

Out of Our Abundance We Shou d
 Give 10 the Poor.

It is well-known fact, to most oi our readers, that up in Nehras- ka, there was total failure of crops, and that thousands of poor people are actually starving fer the neeessaries ot life.
 The Southern States, where people haze been blessed with abundant crops, are nnbly coming to their re~cn. Phillips, JeTcr- son and other counties, Tn Arkan- sas have responded to the cry of distress; and below, wo publish a letter from Mr. c. T. Dnlle, of Baxter, which should meet with a ready and cheerful response from the citizens of Drew County. Let our charitable and enterprising men take nold of the matter, call a meeting, and contribute the necessary amount.
 The citizens ct Baxter, as shown by Mir. Dukes letter, propose to do a grand and humane work, and the rest of Drew County cannot afford to do otherwise than make up the amount requested in the Mr. Dukes letter.
 The editor of this paper, to whom Mr Dukes letter is ad, drssed, would take great pleasure in looking after the matter and so- liciting contributions necessary to comply with the request; but he leaves. at once, for Little Rock, to assume his duties as Represen- tative. Therefore he gives to the readers of this paper, Mr. Dukes letter, and calls upon the public spirited people ot Drew County, and in the name of humanity and for sweet charity's sake, to take
