Bishen Turner.

Nashville Banner.
 The Chicago Tribune says: Bishop Turner, the negro prelate, appears to be no better than any ordinary anarch- ist." Turner's talk unexplained sounds like anarchistic raving. but he doesn't mean it that way He learned it from another school of politicians, whose memory The Tribune holds in high re- spect and who are very often eulogfz- ed at the North.
 Turner has been making some disre- spectful remarks about the American flag which might have emanated from an anarchist, but he really means to repeat what William Lloyd Garrison many years ago said about the consti- tuition, and which Garrison'g immediate followers took as party cry Garri- son was canonized by the Republican party, and Bishop Turner thinks his example worthy of en1ulaton. He abuses the American flag because, as he considers, 1t is not 2 ~uarantee of the equality with the white man he thinks his due. He is trying to arouse popular sentiment In favor of his claims after the naner that Garrison aroused 1t against slavery. His lan- guage is no more harsh or radical than was that of the celebrated New Eng lander. but his course is without the basis that gave force 10 GaFrison's ut teranees: He is, In fact, very. foolish. quite silly and hardly worthy of serious attention, but he is not an anarchist.
