THE PEACE COMMIsslON.

The gentlemen named below have
been selected as the American peace
commissioners who will meet the
Spanish commissioners in Paris and
settle the Philippine question: secre-
tary OF State VIM. r. Day, Of Ohio;
Senator Cushman K. Davis, of Mime
sofa; Senator VIM. P. Frye, OF Maine;
Justice Edward D. White, of louisiana,
and Whitelaw Reid, of New York.
They are all men Of distinguished
ability, acknowledged integrity and of
international reputation. They are
all staunch Republican partisans ex-
cepting Justice White, who is Demo-
crat, but they are all stalwart Amer
cans and can be relied on 10 uphold the
dignity and honor Of their country. A
majority of them are expansionists, all
OF them, perhaps, excepting Justice
White, who is in sympathy with the
prevalent sentiment in Louisiana,
"hlcn iears 'ne sugar Industry OF that
State will suffer as II result OF the an
nexation of sugar producing territory.
The commissioners, however, will be
instructed as to the main points at
issue and will subvert their individual
views to those of the government they
represent. They are merely the in
struments Of the government's policy
and were chosen not so much for their
public views as for the qualities above
enumerated and for their fitness to
represent the wisdom, dignity and
power of the nation. Taken altogether
the commission is about as desirable as
could have been selected, and Presi-
dent Mckinley is to be congratulated
on the happy selection.

GRENADA, MISS, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER g 1885,
A BUSINESS CHANGE.

An important business change IL
noted In the announcement that com
mencing September l, the Southern
Express Company will represent here
four of the principal express companies
Of the continent, the Southern, Adams,
Pacific and United States, the latter
having the contract to handle all gov.
ernment business. Mr.. Charles A.
Pardre is to become superintendent Of
the Union agency, and we do not need
, to say that under his wise and expert
I enced management perfect express
service is assured to the patrons of
these large and necessary corporations.
Mr.. Pardue has for many years held
responsible positions with the Southern
| Express Company and Is admirably
equipped for the performance Of the
important duties that fall to his lot.
He is in touch with the spirit of enter
prise which has built up the four splen-
did companies he will have the honor
to represent, and in his enlarged field
he cannot fail to meet fully the ex-
pectations both of his superiors and of
the public at large.
The change here will be OF especial
benefit to the business community.
With a central Office and a manage
nent dOmiciled under one roof the
shipping public will be enabled to deal
with 4 single headquarters, saving
time and avoiding confusion. In this
connection it may be added that the
company has already opened an agency
at Santiago de Cuba The States be-
speaks for Mr.. Pardue and the compa-
nles ne represents continuance Of the
liberal patronage they have enjoyed in
tho past.- New Orleans States. :; .lu-
gust 20.
The SENTINEL takes pride in re.
publishing the above and in heartily
indorsing the commentator of Mr..
Pardue expressed therein. It has been
our pleasure to know Mr.. l'ardue
rather intimately for many years, and
a truer friend, more honorable, highs
toned gentleman we have never known
He was at one time Route agent for
the Southern Express Company, with
headquarters at Grenada. where he
made host OF friends. He was after
ward appointed superintendent of the
Southern Express Company at New
Orleans, which position he has held
most efficiently and acceptably. His
promotion to such a high and respon-
sible position did not give him the
big head" as it would have many, but
he continued to be the same affable,
genial and accommodating gentleman
In short, there is no man living in
whom we have more confidence than
in c. a. Pardue. Long may he and his
lovely family be happy and prosperous.

THE RUSSIAN CZAR'S SCHEME.

The car OF all the Russias has set
the great ones of Europe to bnzzing
like a hive OF bees into which an
American freeboy has precipitated a
brickbat We have the authority of
John Clark Ridpath, the great his
torian and editor of the Arena, for
thus comparing great things to small
Any way the czar has raised a regular
diplomatic whirlwind by his PROPOSE;
ton that the great European powers
get together and agree to disband
their magnificent armaments. The
scheme is generally regarded as
Utopian by the European press, but
nevertheless the proposition has made
a profound impression in official
circles. The enormous armaments
maintained by the powers are i'm
poverishing them. Their apolosists
claim that they maintain peace, bat
the car thinks, properly perhaps,
that his plan would be just as effective.
The wisdom of the reabsorption Of
these vast armies back into the in
duslrial pursuits may we'll be doubted,
since every branch is already appal
emily crowded 1t would have to be
accomplished by a very gradual pro-
cess, else anarchism would resu., in
turning loose the idle hordes. The
czar is commonly supposed to b. a
hloody-minded tyrant and despo,, and
this last coup causes universal astonish-
ment. The general opinion viii
be that the secret of it exists ia the
czar's realization that the military
policy of Europe is impoverishing
Russia as we'll as the other powers
We must wait in doubt for the out
come.

V1CKsBURG, MISS, August, 3d.
A meeting between Hon. Charles
Scott Of Rosedale and C. E. Wright
Of this city occurred today about II a.
M, at Il point about four miles north
OF the city, and two shots were ex.
changed with no serious results to
either side.
The trouble grew out OF attacks of
the Dispatch on the Rosedale Bank, e
which Mr.. Scott was president, the
Dispatch imtimating that the failure
was not all straight. This brought
heated rejoinder from Mr.. Scott's pa-
per, the Bolivar County Democrat. in
which several harsh terms were ap-
piled to Capt. Wright. The Dispatch
replied again, the result being chal-
lenge from Mr.. Scott, which was &C.
cepted by Mr.. Wright, the meeting
taking place today.
It is reported that the preliminaries
of the meeting were looked after for
Mr. Scott by O. G. Mcclure, who ar
rived in the city aday or two ago. Mr..
Mcclure learned on Monday that
Mr.. Scott would probably be arrested
on his arrival here, and then, it is stat
ed, he wired Mr.. Scott 10 leave the
train at Redwood, where he would
meet him with carriage. This part
OF the programme was carried out, Mr.
Scott joining Mr.. Mcclure at Redwood
While driving toward the city, their
carriage was stopped BY Chief of Police
Price, who, addressing Mr., Scott, said
"Mr. Scott. | place you under ar
rest
The party then drove into the city
and to the police station, Mr.. MCGUIRE
being detained there all night, Mr.
Scott being allowed his freedom. Mr..
Scott and Dr.. T. 4. Harris, it is said,
were on the ground from o'clock un.
til the time Of meeting.
a warrant in the m eantime had been
sworn out for the arrest Of Capt.
Wright. The warrant was executed at
4 o'clock yesterday morning and Capt.
Wright was taken to the Office Of the
Dispatch, where he was kept unde,
guard several hours afte rward. Mr.
Wright learned that Mr. Scott had not
been arrested, and determined to strain
every nerve to be at the appointed
place on time. With this object in
view, he requested permission TO step
to the rear OF his establishment.
This was granite and Mr.. Wright,
quickly going through the hall, joined
II friend who was awaiting him and he
was driven to the meeting place. Mr.
Wright i! said to have been represent

while Mr.. Scott secured the word to

was touched. At the second Mr..
Wright is said to have received
slight wound.
4 third shot was demanded by Mr.,
Scott. which was readily granted py
Mr. Wright, and the representative o.
both parties were in the act of loading
the pistols when Chief of Police Price

Mr.. Barker is just complet-
ing one of the most successful
tours that has been made by
any lecturer or entertainer. His
attainments are of the very
highest order. and his success
has been phenomenal. Large
audiences have greeted him at
almost every place he has stop
ped. Prof. Brown of Cleburne,
who has under his management
more than forty men of the
highest talent as lecturers and
entertainers, such as l.. +.
Copeland. John Temple Graves
and others, offers Mr.. Barker
as perhaps the very best for a
newly organized club as ours.
If this effort is successful we
will immediately close contracts
for Graves. Copeland and other
well known lecturers.
This is a test of Ardmore's
appreciation of literary excel
lence. Even if you had not
planned coming, do SO to en-
courage the enterprise. OF
course all who have joined the
club signed their names under
the written obligation to pur-
chase tickets and to do what
they could to induce others to
buy. Now-altogether for a
full house. Tickets at Ram
sey's at SOC and Csc. Enter
