PowDERLY CONFIRMED.
Vote stood 43 to 20 in Favor of the
Immigration Commissioners.

| WASHINGTON, March 16.-Hon. T. V.
Powderly was confirmed commissioner of
immigration by the Senate in executive
| session to-day by the vote of 43 to 20. Sen
ator Chandler was the only Republican
who cast his vote against confirmation,
while q large number of Democrats voted
for Mr.. Powderly. The vote was preceded
! by rather sharp debate, in which the
question whether Mr.. Powderly had made
trade with the Republicans in the last
campaign was discussed quite freely. Sem
ators Teller and Stewart attacked Mr..
PoWderly's cecord on the financial ques-
| ton, and Senator Stewart read letter
from Mr. Powderly written during the
campaign of 1882, in which he had declared
his adherence to the cause of bimetallism
and denounced those of the labor element
who had aligned themselves on the Repub-
lican side as rendering themselves liable
to the charge of being made the subjects
Powderly had placed himself in exactly
the category in which he had previously
sought to place others by his course in the
campaign of 1896
Senator Hanna made brief speech. in
which he asserted that Mr.. Powderlys sup
port of the Republican ticket in the late
campaign was not the result of any col
fusion or bargain. Mr.. Powderly, he
q. 'tcame to us of his own accord and
did not go after him and we did not prom
Use him anything" Furthermore Mr..
Hanna said that he was not originally
supporter of POwderly for the position of
commissioners of immigration having an
other candidate for the office. This fact
ought to be sufficient evidence Mr.. Hanna
thought, to convince the most skeptical
that there had been no bargain that Mr..
Powderly should have the Office as the re-
suit of his services in the campaign.
Mr.. Chandler made another speech in OPP
position, reading protests from labor organ
izations and declaring that the Republican
party could not afford to appoint to so i'm
portant an office a man so distasteful to
the labor element.
Mr.. Fairbanks closed the debate in Mr..
Powderlys behalf, defending his record in
the office and his character as a man. He
said that Mr.. Powderly had demonstrated
by several months of service his fitness for
the office. He asserted that the only
charges made against him were of politi-
cal nature and contended that these were
not of a character to in any way reflect
upon him or to justify opposition to his
conflrmat ton.
The Senate also confirmed these nomi-
nations: Horace H. Thomas, appraiser of
merchandise, district of Chicago; Charles
A. Sehlbrede, of Oregon, commissioner in
and for the district of Alaska, and the fol-
lowing Indiana postmasters: w. e. Downs,
at Edinburg; L. L. Burke, at Brookville.

A victory for senator Fairbanks.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, March Ex-senator Fair
banks has won a notable victory in secur-
ing the confirmation of Mr.. Powderly.
After two days fight, the Senate this aft
ernoon rejected the adverse committee re-
port and gave Mr. Powderly a title to the
office to which the President appointed him
six months ago. The opposition was led by
Senator Chandler, of New Hampshire. SEN
ator Fairbanks conducted the fight for the
great labor leader. 1t developed in the two
days debate that Chambers opposition to
Powderly was due in a great measure TO
the fact that he thought Powderly's con-
firmation was especially desired by the
President The New Hampshire senator,

been working with the Populists and free
silverites for nearly year and has left no
stone unturned to embarrass the admins

Prison Sunday.

On Feb. 26, 1884, about 10 min
listers in New York, impressed with
the necessity of broader and more
intelligent interest in matters touch
ing the causes and effects of crime
and the best methods of treatment
of the criminal classes, by resolution,
set apart the fourth Sunday in Octo.
Der of every year as prison Sunday,
to be observed by all the churches
in New York. Much good has come
of this movement. 1t has been a
means of disseminating intelligence
regarding crime and criminals and
increasing interest in the more mod
ern theories concerning the purpos-
es and uses of Imprisonment, and
the most wholesome methods of pre-
venting crime and reforming crimi-
nails. The church will not forget
the saying Of her Lord, 81 was in
prison" The State Board of Char
tiles has set apart the fourth Sunday
in October of every year as "Prison
Sunday" We rejoice that many
ministers observed the day last year,
and we hope the time is not far dis
tant when all the churches in Ten
nessee will observe it. For "Pris-
on Sunday" literature send 10 cents

Not Worth Picking.

Several planters in East
eTn Arkansas who mortgaged
their crops in order to obtain
supplies for the year have
notified the holders of the
mortgages that they will not
have the cotton gathered,
claiming that the low price
of the product will not pay
them to have it picked. The
finest and most productive
plantations in Arkansas are
located in Eastern Arkansas,
and the refusal of several
of the planters to pick
the cotton, it is feared,
will become contagious.-Lit-

THK Evening Scimitar condemns
the present shot gun, air tight
quarantine now in force at Memphis
against yellow fever infected points,
on the grounds that it is not in
keeping with modern methods of
dealing with the dread disease, and
that il is detrimental to business in
terests. The Scimitar believes in
sanitation, fumigation, isolation
and open doors. Memphis has tried
the open-door route to her sorrow;
hence, when the fever was reported
in Mississippi this year, upon the
request of large number of her
most prominent citizens, the health
authorities decided to lock the
doors. The result is, that not a
case of yellow fever has been re-
ported in Memphis since the pres
ent quarantine took effect. Bus
mess interests, no doubt, have suf-
fered to some extent on this &C.
count; but it is well enough to re-
member that the protection of hu-
man life is of far greater Importance
than the protection of business in
terests. Live. not dead men. trans
act business on this terrestrial
globe. With all due respect to the
quarantine views of the Scimitar.

newsy Southern afternoon journals

Memphis health authorities have. in
