Lord Rosebery adheres absolutely to his
opinion that the liberal party is indissol-

like an imperial commercial league would
weaken the empire internally and excite
the permanent hostility of the whole world.

Fresh Massacre is Expected

Scene of Brutality and Butchery De-
scribed in Letter From Non
Jewish German.

BERLIN, May 21.-The singular state OF
mind of the townspeople of Kisheneff, Bess-
arabia. while they were killing the Jews
there about a month ago is described in a
letter from a non Jewish German of Odessa,
received by the relief committee here. He
said:
THE leaders of the bands on entering
Jewish dwellings. often addressed the occu-
pants good-naturedly saying:
Poor brethren, we must kill you 1t is
so ordered
Terror Continues.
"Monstrous things were not done until
robbers began to participate, and when
they, with the Christian zealots, became
Intoxicated"
The state of terror of the Jews at Kish-
enen continues, the letter adds
A fresh massacre is expected there and
the Jews of Odessa and of all the large
towns of Bessarabia are living in hourly
dread of death.
The whole province seems to be in state
of fanatical fury against the Jews.
Excitement Intensified.
The writer of the letter then says:
"The excitement is intensified through
proclamations distributed in the streets and
the tone of the bitterly anti-Semitic news
papers.
1.-The Russians say to their educated and
tolerant countrymen who urge keeping the
peace:
1T is the cars will that the Jews be
everywhere robbed. Orders have been
given that we start again at Pentecost.'
More Energetic Policy Demanded.
THE situation has become all the worse
since the important Russian papers have
been prevented by the censorship from
freely expressing their opinions. '''.-.!.
Their behavior. almost without excep-
ton has been excellent.
Unless the ST Petersburg government
develops a more energetic policy the events
at Kisheneff will undoubtedly be repeated
in other towns.

of the best classes, respectable Russian
lawyers are assisting the sufferers to obtain

Two Wings of the Democracy.
The recent correspondence between Editor
Metcaf of the western democracy and Ed
| itor Mack of the eastern democracy has
served to bring out more clearly the wide
chasm that yawns between the two fac
| tions. 1t shows that the factions will first
| have to agree upon man, which will be
difficult and then agree upon policy,
which will be still more difficult.
There is no apparent diminutiOn of the
stubbornness with which the two factions
are clinging to their ideals. Republican pol
iticians do not believe that any means can
be found of harmonizing the radical differ
ences of opinion between the factions of the
other side.
The western democrats, 1t is said, still
harbor resentment for the detection of the
Cleveland faction and look with deep sus-
picion upon any man who is put forward
by that crowd. The eastern democrats
think that their western brethren have been
weaned away from some of their populistic
idols but careful inquiry into the actual
state of affairs does not bear out that as
sumption.
East and South to Combine.
In the past few weeks the situation has
received careful thought from some of the
prominent eastern democrats. who are COM
ing to the conclusion that in the last ex-
tremity the east and south will have to
unite on a conservative man and conserva-
tive platform, and let Mr.. Bryan and his
followers bolt if bolt they must.
Southern leaders are being consulted more
than ever at this time, and it is revealing
no confidence to state that the eastern and
southern democrats of prominence will get
more closely together from this time on.

trict representative, finished ninth in the

W. P. CALDWELL.

From the forum, tie bar and
the councils of men death has taken
one of Tennessee's most gifted
sons. Although not honored with
office as were the men, beginning
with the iIlustrious Sewer, founder
of the old Frankland state, down
the line, which includes the flower
of Southern fame and chivalry,
until it reaches the name of our
own inimitable Bob Taylor, be
was the peer of this rank. Match
less in oratory, he even lowered
above the brilliant Emerson Eth
eridge, and put to flight those of
his contemporaries who measured
lances in political and legal debate.
AS a lawyer he was profound,
broad, aggressive, commanding
and ranked easily with his strong
est colleagues in all the important
litigation of this section of coun-
try during his practice. He was
one of the few men whom honors
have sought and but for his I'M
swerving loyalty and fidelity to
the principles which formed his
convictions would undoubtedly
have served the state and the ma
ton continuously in public office.
Notwithstanding these facts he
was two terms in Congress, once
an elector on the National
Democratic ticket and by his
friends in the Western portion
OF the state persuaded to become a
candidate for the Democratic NOM
nation for Governor. This oc.
Cured when Taylor was a candi-
date for the second term, or we
believe Hon. W. ?. Caldwell would
have been Governor of Tennessee.
He was a man of strong presence
and bearing, warm friend and
safe counsellor; a gentleman of
honor, courteous, courageous, and
true. The lines of his life we're
strongly marked and his character
bore the stamp of a great man.
History will record his name
among the great men of the coun
try. Peace to his memory.

SECOND GLASS OFFICE.

News comes from the First AS
sistant Postmaster General that or
the first of July next the postofice
in Union City will be declared and
operative as a second class office
with all the rights and privileges
of an office of that class including
eligibility to a free delivery sys-
tenn and a public building. This
EN- braces an increase in Postmas-
ter Taylor's salary and the per-
ouisites of Office. This result has
been brought about principally
trough the efforts of Col. Taylor,
the man of business and captain of
the Republican hosts in this sec
ton. Colonel Taylor has been
ever active and vigilant in giving
the people all the advantages and
accommodations provided by the
Government for the postal service.
He was first to secure the rural
free delivery system, which has
already proven one of the greatest
blessings the country ever had in
the way of transmitting CORE
spondence and distributing news
papers. Then he has worked for a
number of years with the purpose
in view of finally securing a rev.
enue which would entitle him to
the advantages of a city free de-
livery service and custom house.
That work has been gloriously
achieved SO far, and now we I'M
that Congressman Walter
Brownlow, the savant of Tennessee
Republican politics, says that all
we need is to have our credentials
presented in proper and authenti-
Gated form before the Postmaster
General and Congress and all
these things will be added unto us.
Congressman Pierce has pledged
us to begin the work at the most
time and that no ground
shall be lost in getting these mat
ters in shape and form and before
the proper officers and authorities.
Good! Let all the friends inter-
ested, and who of US are not, lend
all the assistance and encourage
ment necessary for this work, and
let the Commercial Club stand be-
hind all these efforts.
