TO CONTROL TOBACCO PRICES.
Tennessee Growers in Opposition to
the Italian MonopcIy's Plans

NASHVILLE. Oct 17.-Reports from
the Tennessee tobacco districts indicate
that the planters are going to attend the
Clarksville convention next Monday in
force. If indications are trustworthy.
they will be men who will be able to take
hold of the tobacco situation and deal
with it. The convention has been called
for the purpose of considering the best
means of ORIGINATING the farmers into
a defensive alliance, with a view of hold
ing up the price Of the present large
crop.
Planters throughout this section are
greatly wrought up over the alleged pur-
pose OF the Italian tobacco monopoly to
control prices in the Dark Belt The
plans comprehend revolutionizing of the
methods that have hitherto obtained for
supplying the Italian Government with
tobacco. which includes annually many
thousand hogsheads. Farmers are In the
dark as to what IS to be the outcome of
the monopoys plans, which are backed
by unlimited money. The monopoly it
is reported. has secured the services of
ths best trained operators in the weed.
The promoters of Mondays convention
expect To get the farmers thoroughly or
ganizl d, IN order that they, and not the
trust, shall dictate prices.

When this enquiry is over there ought
to be proceedings against the whole Navy
Department clique for malicious defama-
tion. But Schley has been fighting only
in defence. not for revenge, and he can
wei be content to leave his defamers to
the castigation of public opinion His
own story Is yet to be told. yet he al
ready stands vindicated by the testimony
OF his enemies, and it is unjust that he
must be put to further pains and cost to
vindicate the honor of the navy from the
machinatious Of official jealousy.

A DEPARTURE IN ELECTRICITY
Energy. 1t Is Claimed, Can BE
Transmitted without Wires.

LONDON. Oct. T7.-Messrs Armstrong
and Orling profess TO have made what
may prove to be the most important dis
covery since the days of Stephenson.
They say they believe they have found
the secret of freely transmitting elec-
trical energy without wires.
The members OF the press have been
invited to Hughenden tomorrow to wit
ness a series of demonstrations of appa-
ratus constructed under CTling-Arm-
strong patents relating to thc reception
and transmission of electromagnetic
impulses, without the use of wires to-
gsther with the control of the steering
mechanism of torpedoes and other SUBJ
marine engines of destruction, by means
of electrical radiation from distance
without wires or material connection.

If the Republicans are as confident Of
success in Ohio as they claim to be, it
would seem as if they might conduct
their campaign without violating the civil
service law. The sending Of newspaper
clippings to Government employees for the
purpose of directing attention to the need
OF funds for campaign purposes is just
as much soliciting" as if the request
were made in express terms. 1t is more
reprehensible, because it is both an in
fraction Of the law and an attempt to
conceal the fact that the law is being
Niolated.

An act of justice was done the other
day in Dundee, Scotland. when there was
unveiled a monument erected in the
western cemetery of that town to the
memory of James Bowman Lindsay, phil
ologist, scientist, and electrician. Lind
say lived and worked before his time.
He had pushed his way up through great
hardshps and was an able practical
scientist, but in his day there was no
outlet for his labors. So long ago as 1891
he wrote: Houses and towns will in a
short time be lighted by electricity in
stead of gas and heated by ii instead of
coal. and machinery will be worked by
il instead of steam" That was a re-
markablc prophecy to make siXty-seyen
