Looking for Am erican Aid.

The passage in the speech delivered In
Birming CHAM, England, by Mr.. Joseph Cham
berlain, Secretary Of State for the Colonies,
inviting the United States to cooperate with
England in Armenia, strengthens the report
that Lord Salisbury has asked President
Cleveland to join in note to the Powers
protesting against the treachery Of the
Porte and asking that united action be taken
to the end OF obtaining genuine reforms In
Armenia, and has also asked that the United
States join in demonstration Of the English
and American fleets In Turkish waters. The
Daily Chronicle advocates that the Powers
who, owing to their respective interests and
mutual suspicious, seem powe-iess to act,
invite the United States to send fleet to
force the passage Of the Hellespont and COM
pei the Sultan to stop the barbarism prevail
ing in Armenia.

A Hard Blow to the Junter.

The hopes OF the Junta in the United
States and Of the army in the field in Cuba
were centred In this expedition. 1t was be-
lieved that when the carefully laid plans to
land the men and arms in Cuba had been
carried out blow would be struck which
would go long way toward establishing
the independence Of the island. Maceo
and Gomez, who are practically hsmmed In
near Havana, have been relying upon the
arrival Of Garcia and his cargo to enable
them to attack the capital.

thority, thereby opening the
door to a fight all along the
line.
For it will be said by
those who support the regu-
lar Congressional Committee
of the district that if Bob
Taylor's representatives
make war on them, they will
be entirely at liberty to re-
turn blow for blow. There
has been no antagonism to
Taylor among the sound
money democrats of the dis
trict, and the probability has
been that he would carry the
district by a fair majority.
Perhaps many of them will
vote for him, under any cir
cumstances, but this is only
conjecture. Certainly it
will not do to count on it,
since the official representa-
tives of the candidate have
interferred in a factional
fight with which they had
nothing to do, and have at
tempted to oVerturn the req
ular organization in the dis
trict, simply because it refu-
sed to be bulldozed by a free
silver minority.
Leaving out Of the ques-
ton all consideration of fair
ness and party usage, the ac-
ton of the State Committee
is the worst possible politics.
1t could not poll single
vote for Taylor of which he
was not already assured, and
it may very easily cost him
votes enough to turn the
scale against him if the con-
test should be close.
Of course, neither the Con-
gressional Committee nor
Col. Patterson will pay the
slightest attention to this or
der to stand and deliver.
They regard the appeal to
the committee and the ac-
ton of that body simply as
evidence that the Carmack
people realize the despera-
ton of their cause and are
clutching straws as the Pat
terson wave sweeps toward
them.
The committee can injure
and has injured Bob Taylor
in this matter. It cant hurt
Patterson. ---Scimitar.

No doubt the great enthu-
siasm manifested during Col.
Patterson's stay i'll Covihg-
ton was a surprise to those
who had boosted that in
Upton County the free sill
yer tide virtually unobstruc-
ted, is flowing. The sight
sufficient to coo, the
ardor and chill the blood of
such asseveratoPs was the nu-
merous calls on our con-
gresham while in his room
'at one of the hotels IN Gov
ington, and the unstinted app
plause accorded him during
his address. Long before
the appointed hour for speak
ing, sturdy farmers from diff
ferent sections of that cOun=
ty began to arrive, and wend-
ed their way to the hotel,
where, in almost every in
stance, they pledged to Col.
Patterson their support. So
ceaseless and unremitting
was the stream Of visitors
that the proprietor of the ho-
tel, who is a free silver advo-
cate, in amazement asked,
"from whence came all these
people?" The operahouse, a
spacious building, with a
seating capacity of about six
or seven hundred, was not
sufficient to accommodate all
who had assembled to hear
the gifted aud able speaker.
During the delivery Of his
speech, Col. Patterson was
applauded time and again.
With reason, logic and hiss
tory he defended his position,
but not a word fell from his
lips that would wound the
feelings of the most sensitive
of his opposers. His is a
cause not dependent upon
prejudicial appeals, nor satire
but is substantiated by the
revolution of past events.
No one is more aware of this
thanMr. Patterson and no one
is better adapted to present
intelligently the array Of tes-
timony than himself.

Clumsy Counterfeit.

United States Marshal Manson
has developed a case of counterfeit
ing in Hardeman county. 1t was
in the person of Monroe Winter, a
negro preacher, who was arrested
Thursday near Salisbury by Depu-
ty Marshal w. NJ. May.
Monroe had gone to a negro fes-
tival and there, by means of two
boys, passed off the spurious coin.
The man with the circus lemonade
had but one dingy lantern to make
light for him. Monroe told the
boy to take a silver dollar and with
it buy two glasses of lemonade,
one each of them. The boy was
particularly cautioned not to dis
close Monroe's name, He repeated
the operation and had gotten four
drinks and $I.95 in coin of the
realm.
Next day when tie manager of
the refreshments went to pay for
the lemons and sugar he ascertained
that the two silver coins were coun-
terfeit. He had taken in but two
silver dollars, and under pressure
the boys were forced to divulge
Winters name. Winter redeemed
the coins, but those who saw them
say that the workmanship was most
clumsy. 1t is thought that he made
them himself. He is in Jail in Jack
son. Commercial Appeal.
