In Australia and Ocearic1, iu Asid} in Africa aud in America, one marvels at her evident purpose to still spread her power. It is re- markable, too, that most of her eX- tensions have been the result Of purchase or of diplomatic settle ment, at least during the reiga oi the Queen Victoria
 Only a few months ago she pnr. chased the Delagoa Bay. including the whole country back of it, clear to the Limpopo River, thus inereas- Ing her area by over three hundred thousand square miles and her pop ulation by about 1900, ,0o0. There is little doubt, too, but that she will control Egypt and the soudaa.
 It is this land hunger carried to excess which has prevented her taking independent action in con neetion with the settlement of the eyer-present Eastern question. Will her greed for territorial power eventually result in her downfall?- Repablie

A SPECIAL correspondent in the Memphis Conm,rcial- Appeal writ ing from Chicago says that Tillman and Waite will make speeches throughout tue State of Illinois from now until the end of the cam paipn. h our opinion this will make Illinois very doubtful State. Tlllman and Bloody Brides" Waite will do the Democratic party more harm than good. The people oi Illinois are a sensible and Q conser' vative people, and such radical extremists as Tillman and Waite will only tend to disgust the voters of Illinois with party that gives prominence to such radical extrem' ists. There are many able Demo cratic statesmen advocating free silyer-statesmen whose abilities do not admit of any question inc. and whose opinions are respected throughout the Nation-and such as these should be sent to speak in Illinois. Tillman and Waite have both been repudla- ted at home, and neither commands respect at home or abroad. They have merely been temporarily f brought to the surface by reason of the distress and discontent of a large number of the people, like the drift that is tossed to the top of the waves while the storm rages only to disappear entirely from view when calm is restored.

 NEW YORK, Oct. l3.-According to The Herald's correspondent in Guaya- quil, Ecuador, fresh attempts of an in- oendiary nature have been made. Sev- eral alarming fires have occurred i'll parts of the oity not touched by the great confagration, but the vigilance of the fire department prevented them from spreading.

Of the Eugene Rowland Concert Company, which appears at the Opera House in this city next Wednesday night, The Torch, 8 Memphis magazine, says
 It has been written of music that it is Athat elevated at which ani- mates the passion by sound There are few who have not felt its,charms and acknowledged it's expressions t9 be inteliigibIe to the heart. 1t breathes to the ear the clearest in timations; it touches and greatly agitates the agreeable and noble passions, it wraps Us in melancholy and elevates Us in joy it dissolyes and influences; it melts us to ten deruess and eXcites us to war.
 Of all the instruments ever m vented to charm the ear, none there is more perfect, more apt to awaken the tendereSt and sweetest emo
 tions than the violin This is the instrument which Eugene Now land has chosen as the medium by which he hopes to hold his audi
 ences spell bound and to ascend the toilsome ladder that leads to fame. His prospects are of the bright est; his talent and genius admit of no discussion, and those who have
 had the good fortune to be present at the two performances with which he lnaugurated his present tour are of one mind as regards his power of expression and splendid technique. They all wish him well and pro phesy a glorious future for this young Southnor
 Mr Rowland has been exceeding y fortunate in the se.ection of the members of his company Mrs. Cranes is well aud favorablv known wherever she has appeared before the footlights. Her voice is sweet y melodious, and of beil-like pur- ity, while her personal charms and dietion are most pleasing. Mr. Gerbig, 8 Hollander by birth, is master of his instrument with a deHeacy of touch and strength of expression in his execution, which give him a rank among the first pianists of the world

FOR STEALING SIX TURKEYS.
A woma an Worth $50. 900 Goes to the
 Penitentiary For One Year.

NASHVILLE. Oct l3.-At Columbia, Tenn, Mary Moore. white woman, worth s50,ooo, and the owner of 600 acres of fine land, was convicted for stealing six turkeys from neighbor and sentenced to one year in the peni- tentiary. An appeal was taken to the supreme conrt. This is the finale of a most remarkable career unrYalled in the history Of the criminal courts of the state
 Ten years ago the woman and hus- band, calling themselves Stone, came from Kentucky. bought land ill good neighborhood and lived q secretive life. Immediately thefts became numerous, incendiary fires followed, rumors spread abroad, the husband died, vigilance committees were formed, criminal suits instituted but came to nothing.
 At last the neighbcrs raided the farm house and found young woman, daughter.in-la law of Mrs. Moore, impris- oned in room and subjected to the foulest treatment. Indignation became intense, and as the stealing of the tur- keys was q sure case, it was resolved to get the Moore woman into the peniten- tiary and break up her nefarious oper- atiOus

CAMPAIGN FUNDS

The National Democratic Conn mittee, We are reliably informed is sending out private letters solic' iting contributions to the eam- paign fund. There is no disguis- ing the fact that the Committee is in need of funds. Small contribu tion are being made by private indi. viduals from all over the country. but these contributions, in the az gregate, are small, and in comp ii son with the millions contributed by the millioeaires and monopolists to the Republican campaign fund, are infnitesmal.
 The patriotic people of this land who want to witness the triumph of their cause over the combined ef forts of allied and selfish plutocraey, should, therefore, subscribe their dimes and dollars to . cause which so yitally affects their interests.
 The GRAPHIC, in it's humble way, is endeavoring to impress this fact upon this community, and we are. yratified to slate that it's efforts

 A Woman's Suggestion.
 A speciality which women $ exchanges should take up more than they do is that of clothing for invalids. This might include easily adjusted underwear, as well as the dainty bed jackets and sit ting up gowns that are needed. There is the semi-invalid. too, who needs loose, easy clothing and still wishes to preserve the appearance of being dress ed. Maternity gowns would come under the same head. In view of the painful deficiency of the average wardrobe when explored ill time of need for sick wear, d department of supply of this sort ought to offer valuable field. New York

The INTERIOR PORTFOLIO.

The resignation of Secretary Hoke
Smith from Mr.. Cleveland's cabinet is
very serious blow to goldbugism and
equally an important acquisition for
Bryan and Sewall and the cause they rep
resent. Mr.. Smith has long stood before
the public as the broadcast and most sim
cere statesman connected with the ad-
ministration. He is Democrat who be-
lieves IN abiding by the voice of the ma
jority, and while he may not accept all
that the national Democratic platform
sets forth, still there is in it 80 much of
timely moment to the country that he
can not forego the duty of supporting it
even at the expense of relinqnishing a
seat in the cabinet. Mr.. Smith has made
an admirable public official in all re-
spects. He retires from Office with the
consciousness of having performed we'll
and faithfully his duties, and he carries
with him the respect and esteem of the
masses of the American people. His
successor, exGov. David R. Francis, of
Missouri, is man in every sense worthy
of occupying his official seat at the cabi-
net table, and the west is to be congratu-
lated upon his selection for the place.
Indeed, his appointment by the presl-
dent comes to the west in the nature of
an agreeable surprise. Gov. Francis is
able, popular throughout the whole coun-
try, and, above all, is thoroughly practi
cal, and although he has but little over
six months to serve as secretary of the
interior under Mr.. Cleveland, we are salts
fed that he will make shining record
for himself and do honor to Missouri
and to the national administration.

The PRACTICAL SIDE OF II.

There are said to be Just twenty-four
goldite Democrats in Albuquerque-an
even two dozen. In the whole territory
there are probably not $50 voters of this
class, and, when we come to consider that
fully $500 citizens who formerly voted
the Republican ticket will this year sup
port the Bryan and Sewall platform, We
may justly conclude that true Democracy
has nothing whatever to fear as result
OF the so-called Democratic gold move
ment. In fact, to be extremely candid, it
looks as if the leaders in this movement
had set about the thankless task of but
ting their heads against stone wall. We
do not in the least question the sincerity
of these gentlemen, but the above is the
practical side of the question, and in
contemplating it it is not difficult to see
where they will land. They are making
their own political bed; let them lie in it.

IT is openly admitted that the New
England manufacturers have shut down
their works and thrown thousands OF
workingmen out of employment for the
sole purpose of coercing them into vot-
ing for Mckinley and Hanna's gold
standard idea. Western workingmen
everywhere will resent this by all the
more zealously supporting Bryan and
Sewall and free coinage, and in the west,
the real battle ground, these votes will
count for double their ordinary value
this year, for even should the scheme
succeed in New England, which is con-
ceded to the gold standard, the western
workingmen will make the pivotal states
Just so much surer for the Democratic
ticket. Hanna has thus been fully check
mated again.
