MEMPHIS EAL ESTABLISHED 1840. MEMPHIS, TENS., THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 1SSG. VOL. XLYI NO. 228 r E AFP Wiggins will have to try g)in. Only the slightest tremor at one point has been reported fiom the dUtrict he mapped ont for destruction. Thb Municipal Council of Obin "burg have decided to erect a monu ment to Lis.t, and to solicit donations at home and abroad. Tni Auguita Chronicle sapgestu that fallowing the advice of Cardinal Gib bons to the Catholic congregations of the United States these of the several Pretestant faiths contribute whatever they can of money, say on the Sunday after next, to pay for the repaiiing of thechnrcbej almost wrecked by the recent earthquake. The Catholics are to contribu'e next Sunday, and their example should be followed at once. It is very much to the credit of the Miashaippi River Commission that its members in a body have determined to foil the cowardly attempt of the House of Representatives to neutral- iz3 their , ris-f illness by falllog to make an appropriation ' to pay them a well deserved 8 tlary, . They have agreed to serve wlihout pay. '' This will; secure to the people of the .Mississippi Valley a con tinuation of the methods of work that have proven so successful and will en able the commissioners themselves to prove iccontestibly the tupreme value of the work accomplished. We thank the commissioners and congratulate the public. Thb Atpbal cordially seconds the suggestion made by eeveral of its con temporaries that the President appoint Gan. A, P. Stewart to be Minister to Austria. The General is a West Pointer by education. He graduated from that celebrated fchool in the same class with Gens. Buell and Rose crans, and stood so high that he was appointed to the corps of engineers. Since the close of the war he has been identified with two of the best of the Southern schools of learning the Law School at Lebanon and the University of Mississippi, of "which he was chancellor. Asa euholar he stands high, and the exalted character for which he had credit in the army he has maintained with unblrarsbed in tegrity. Dignified and mcdett, Gen. Stewart, as its representative at the Court of Austria, would reflect credit upon the country. The State of Tennessee presents him for that mis sion with pride, snd the State of Mississippi indorses him with pleas ure. ' W print in another column a com munication signed "Democrat" that is full of ill temper and characterized by very bad blood. "Democrat" should have gone to the Democratic County Convention and endeavored to carry his point there. The aeseion oi mat Douy auoraea mm nis op- p utunity. So long ai it was in aes sion he had a chanoe for say. When it adfournel that chance went, and he was forever barred. If conventions are to have any weight their dicta must be final. If this was not the rule every man would be a law nnto himself and in et sad of compact parties held together by principle we should have the chaos and confusion incident to indi vidual whim, opinion or view. This in a constitutionally governed country like ours would never do. If "Demo crat" is a Democrat, as we believe him to be, he will support the ticket and bide his time. Thb people of Cincinnati are to be congratulated upon the selection of Mr. Albert W. Whelpley to fill the very important position of Public LI branan. Mr. Whelpley hai all his life been a book man, a reader and lover of. books as well as a printeraod dealer in them, and his sympathies are with the masses, as has been proven by his admirable management of the dime lecture course in Cincinnati for so many years. He is just the man lor tbe place. He knows the taste of the people and will, we predict, cater fjr them co closely as to meet the varied wants of the multitude without failure. Mr. Whelpley is a man of in tegrity in the highest sense of the word. He is conscientious about everything he undertakes. Boy and man, he has always been the same true in the performance of duty, true in his friend ships and tine to his convictions of right Cincinnati has honored a good man and ' one every way worthy in putting upon Mr. Whelpley so weighty and responsible a trntt. Monopoly in any form is a curse. It means r'ches for the few and op pression and misery for the many. The latest ot these gigantio machines that like the Car ot Juggernaut crushes the life out of all who stand in Its way, is the American Oil Trust Company. It owes its origin to greed, to an insatiable greed that seek 8 to force the planters of the South to sell their cotton seed for little or nothing in order that it may increase the profits of its stockholders. Against this the planters propose to unite. And they are riijht. Their plan and purpose is printed on an other page. It is feasible and prac ticable, and if carried out must turn the tide of ruin in the other direction. This is to be deplored. It is better to live and lit live, and we suggfst that just and Chretien policy to the managers of the Trust Company. It is net sensib'e to invite ru n in any direa'ion. Fair play is a jewel that all may wear and wear hon orably and wita pride. THE TAYLOR MOTHERS AT WAYNESBORO asd SAVAN NAH RECEIVED By Enthusiastic Crowds The Broth ers' Estimate of Each Other. I SPECIAL TO TBI imiUl Wayjiisboro, Tn , Sep'ember 28. The Tajrfor brotberj were met early this morning by their friends in a united procefsinn numbering about 700 horsemen. Run was falling fast, which dampened not tbe ardor ot Democracts or Republicans, and though they had to racd in the rain they filtered not in charging on their respective champions. Bjb proceeded to the discus-ion of the iwues of the cinvass in his usual impressive and happy 8'yle, chaining and magnet iz'tig the audience in one of his most telling speech's, di awing the people closer and closer to him throughout The Democrats are delighttd with him and drawn and cemented to him.

He was whit tbe boys now call a slick artist. I'll explain. He was in all manner of mischief at all times, but he had a knack of getting out ol the worst scrapes without a tcrach, while Nat and Jim and I caught the devil.

We knew what was coming. He took a shing'e and bored holes through it with a gimlet, and the be made us bend over a log. You can imagine wnat was tne result, lie pumstied Jim and Nat and me. and we were all crying when be went up to Bjb, who was leaning over the log waiting his turn. Father raised the caddie, snd' denly Bob pulled a half dollar out c-f his peck;!, and twisting bis head around at father with a moet humorous expression of countenance, he said : 'Dad, I'll give you this to let me off,' at tbe same time offering father a half dollar. We were all watching bim as intently as oar pains would let u?. father stood with tbe paddle uplifted. Bob continued in his leaning position, holding the half dol lar between his uplifted Sogers with that grimace unalterable on his feat ures. Bob wes cool aa a cucumber. Father at length broke out in a laugh and bade Bjb to be up and off in a twinkling. Bob sprang to his feet and slipped his half dollar back in his pocket, wa ked by ns to the house, making faces as he went by. "mat's the sort oi a bov Jiob was. He wou'd steal our marbles and we could never catch him. He'd play all sorts of jokes on us, but we could never catch him. He'd take more liberties abont the house than any of us, but somehow he managed to es cape the punishment, while if we did the same things we'd get a thrashing That's the sort of a chap he wa, Dd tbat happy faculty of always alighting on his It et has followed him from tbitt good day to this. He always could tell the soft side of a person. lmost f (0m the days of his infancy, and be never failed' to make the most of his knowledge. Yes. Bob has ever been an artfnl dodger." Xhe laughter which this fraternal sal y had created having ceased, the same inquisitor asked Bob of the boy hood of Alf. "Well," said Bob, with a merry twinkle in his eye, "Alf had more temper than I; he had more fight than I did, but I had more fun. He wis Quick to resent an in inrv and equally quick to forgive. Alf was always fond of hunting. When a mere lad, he would go ont on tbe mountains with an old man who lived near u?, and camp out for weeks at tbe time. I believe be had rather hunt now than do anything. Alf was my favorite bother, if I had a favorite, and I think he thought tbe most of me a'thongh he never told me so, for he always did have a way of conceal ing his affection from those he loved. Father thought there was more ont- come in Alf tban in any of ns, but brother Jim, who invented tbat gnn of which you have heard, is tbe smartest. Alf always was a keen one. You may ba sure he could work a scheme as good as any body. I'll tell you an incident of his manhood which illustrates bis boy hood. When he was running for tbe Legislature there was a big Bapt st vote which he wanted and wanted badly. One day be went to a baptis ing. The preicher had a number of converts in ihe creek. Alf, as big as life, stood among tbe people on the shore singing for dear life. As fast as a person was baptized and s arted for tbe shore Alf would wade into tbe creek, and singing as he advanced with his hymn book in one hand, he would extend tbe other to the dripping penitent and escoit him or her to the shore. Alf got the vote of every Baptist in the district. That's the sort of a fellow he wan." CongreaaloBal Nomlnatloaa. Cincinnati, O., September 29.

Officer Rounds rusned id, and seeing Kemp approach ing Cox, told tbe latter to hit him. Cox diew a dirk and cut him in the neck, severing the jugular vein. Another theory is that while thd difficulty waa going on the birkeeper threw a glata at Cox, striking bim on the forehead. The glass broke snd a piece of it struck Kemp, which produced the wound.
