THE Radical papers are done with their crow for this time, but they are still sputtering over the bad taste. THERE are some very important cases before our Supreme Court, which the people are watching with intense interest. WHAT is the matter with the Democracy of the United States? Nothing. What is the matter with the Democracy of Mississippi? Nothing.

What is the matter with the De- mocracy of Vicksburg? this State, has been appointed on the Committee of two hundred Americans of the Pan-Republic Congress. There is to be a meeting of the Committee in New York on the 6th of December. The purpose for which the Committee is organized is to hold a Congress of Delegates from all the Republics of the world, and of eminent friends of freedom in some city in the United States during the Columbian Exhibition, which is to be held in Chicago. The hope toj draw the Republics into closer bonds of sympathy and secure more effective co-operation for the protection and benefit of mankind. Some of the most eminent men in this and other countries are members of this Committee, and Mr.

Montgomery may well feel proud of the honor conferred on him. AN IMPORTANT MATTER. We have received several papers on the Inter-State Immigration Convention to be held at Asheville, North Carolina on the 17th of December. The Southern States should make this assemblagea great success, that it may be of vast benefit to our section. The time of meeting could not have been more appropriate.

The North feels better towards the South than for fifty years, and the Southern so-called Bourbons are in touch with the Yankees. The Immigration Convention could with great confidence advertise our incalculable resources, our delightful climate and our millions of acres of cheap lands. As there is to be a great love feast over the burial of the sectional question, the Asheville Convention should attract wide attention. We suggest to Governor Stone, if he has not already done fo, that he inform himself of the movement, and appoint Delegates for Mississippi. He should appoint earnest, influential citizens, who believe in immigration, and who will go to Asheville.

NATURAL ALLIES. MR. ISAIAH MONTGOMERY, of The Kansas Alliance invites and urges a union of the South and West. It rehearses the usual arguments of the Alliance, many of them wise, and some of them otherwise. It is of the very greatest importance to us to co-operate with those in the North in favor of abolishing sectional lines forever, aud this the Alliance declares for and has done good work for, but has not the Democratic party contended for it all the time? The Alliance has downed Ingalls and many other South-hating Radicals, but has not the Democratic party all over the country been fighting these men, lo, these many years? The Kansas Alliance asks a union of the South and West, and declares against sectionalism.

Can the Democratic South accept such an invitation, when she is an important portion of a party, that now has a stronghold in every State in the Union? Would we not by making an alliance with the West alone, be going back on our numerous and powerful friends in the New England and Middle States and Indiana, Michigan and Illinois? We highly appreciate the splendid work of the Alliance in the West, and we are in favor of giving the Alliance the full measure of influence, honors and offices, but we can't see our way to giving up one iota of the grand old Democratic party, that has been seasoned by the battles of a century, and is now stronger than ever. From New Hampshire to Texas, from Montana to Florida' the party, that stands for the mighty people is triumphant, and the Southera people breathe like free men and are filled with hope for the future. We trust the Alliance will continue to be the friend and ally of the Democracy, that both may prosper together. Southern Inter-State Immigration Convention, to be Held December 17 to 19, 1890, at Asheville, N.C. OFFICE OF THE INVITATION COMMITTEE, ASHEVILLE, N.

November, 1890. To the Public: Announcement is herewith made that an Inter Immigration Convention will assemble Asheville, N. O. on the 17th of December next. Full conference between the Governos and Commissioners of all the Southern States have led to this deand is expressive of the pinion of the appropriateplace of meeting selected la view that reprethe Bouth are authorized or invited to participate in the deliberations of the Convention, will be an important one, scarcely ever equaled in the magnitude of the interests to be considered, and the grandeur of the objects to be attained.

These interests and these objects include everything that pertains to the advancement of the South; knowledge of its resources imparted or interchanged, inducements to the investment of capital made clear, invitation to the increase of population extended, and information upon all those questions which interest the investor and the immigrant given with candid and liberal accuracy. With the facilities extended by the railroad companies, whose means for transportation of passengers with quickness and comfort from all parts of the country, are unsurpassed, the Committee on Invitation urges upon you the advantages of now, at this time, of visiting the Queen City of the Mountains, our beautiful and magnificently situated Asheville, whose scenery is the delight and astonishment of every visitor, whose climate is the charm of every stranger, whose conveniences are fully equal to those of the larger cities of the country, whose hotels have national fame, and whose hospitality is without limit. Here, at the time specified, are to be discussed and unfolded those measures involving, to momentous extent, all the material interests of the South, and incidentally, those of the whole Union. Therefore we say, come! OFFICE ASHEVILLE COMMITTEE SOUTHERN INTERSTATE IMMIGRATION CONVENTION, ASHEVILLE, N. Nov.

1890. Editor Vicksburg Commercial Herald: Dear Your attention is respectfully directed to the accompanying circular setting forth the fact and the object the Immigration Convention to be held in this city on the 17th day of December next. In view of the extraordiuary advantages the occasion will offer to each State participating, you are earnestly invited to lend to the event your presence and co-operation. Respectfully, DANIEL G. FOWLE, Governor of North Carolina.

Cameron, Secretary, Asheville, N. C. A Traveler's Notes. of the cities, growth one has and not relative only prosperity ge to look around but to draw compari9008. This I did recently in passing through our sister city, Memphis.

DEPOTS. In going through, after securing ticket the passenger office, I was halted at the gate and check or pass taken from me, when I was permitted to go through the gates which Memphis has for the protection of human life, and which Vicksburg has not, but should have, and which is a disgrace to her. WAITING. On my return, just before reaching town, the usual baggage man boarded the train and made an engagement to take charge of the "lone woman" and her luggage and see her in a 'bus. I sat quite still, until every passenger had vacated the car, "waiting, and confidently expecting the 'bus-man to appear and take me to my hotel.

The night was dark and I a stranger in the city. Thesong of waiting, now became one of "leftness," so Taroused to action, summoned a passing and most welcome colored boy, who took my luggage and put me in a hack. SIGHTS. Upon passing down the platform to the conveyance, all was Egyptian darkness, save the lights that flickered fitfully from fruit-stands. I drew bear one of these to take from my port when I a nickel for the boy, was surrounded, be-ieged, watched and pushed by all manner of sizes of white and colored cabmen and porters, until I was forced to take refuge in the cab.

Has our Hill City the advantages in the matter of well-lighted depots? DRY GOODS. I happened there on "opening day." The display in the principal dry goods store was gorgeous, consisting chiefly of wide, sheeny white silks and laces. I concluded where there was 80 much display in one line, there must of course be large and variegated stocks of everything. Greatly to my surprise, I found that I was mistaken. There was very littie variety; small stock, and though I went there shop, I had to come to Vicksburg to suit myself, where there is choicer and larger stuck of dress goods from to lect, and prices far more reasonable.

This is absolutely true. THEATRES. Memphis is of course ahead of us in this respect, but we have one pretty little theatre, which is not sufficient for rapidly growing city. It will answer for some dramatic troupes, concert hall, but now we must and will have a Grand Opera House. One of sufficient stage capacity to induce firstclass troupes to "stop over," or even condescend to make us special visits.

It is high time our Historic City assumed city ways, in every particular, since she is more than abreast with other cities in business. Two theatres we must have. and managers who understand filling them with people to witness the very best dramatic and musical talent America affords. Two fine hotels, a government building, fine churches. Things look citified-a-hem! Now Ithe impetus is given, what must be done to keep up a healthy, running pace? I will tell you.

We are perched on the top of a range of hills, with the most perfect drainage. It is the richest and healthiest region on the globe. Agriculturally speaking, we are the luckiest of people, being the centre of the cotton and corn growing country, Commercially and financially, we have only ourselves to blame, should we fail to make Vicksburg the metropolis of the South, with all these advantages, together with her river and railroad facilities. As the "maid- of all-work" would say or hard work is what will push us to the the top of the hill. Now all shove together.

But "one word more," (a la parson) my bretheren. Factories, we must have, to card, spin, and weave into cloth our own suowy, beautiful products. Our own whites, we have with us, who stand waiting and well nigh perishing for lack of work to do. Give it to them, like good Samaritans and get your reward, which will be swift and sure in the increased prosperity of the country. The State political associations of the Nation's Capital show strong signs of dissolution.

Congressman Breckinridge of Arkansus, has been elected to the short term to fill the vacancy caused by his seat being declared vacant. "THE OLD ROMAN." His Seventy- -Seventh Anniversary Celebrated by the Democracy of the Country, Columbus, 0., Nov. makes the seventy-seventh anniversary of the birth of Allen G. Thurman, "Old Roman," of Ohio Democracy and the Democrats of the nation have made it an occasion to do homage to this distinguished mentor. The City of Columbus is in gala attire to-day and although a banquet is to constitute the only public ceremony of the day, the entire city presents a scene of unusual activity.

From early morning every incoming train brought to the city a contingent of prominent Democrats from abroad, and all day Judge Thurman has been the Ex-President recipient of Cleveland congratulatory calls. came in on an early train and at once proceeded to the executive mansion, where he is the guest of Gov. Campbell. An hour later United Senator Calvin S. Brice arrived at the mansion and the ex-President and himself made an early forenoon call on the distinguished Ohioan.

Gov. Campbell is still far from well, and it is doubtful whether he will be able to attend the banquet. The sunshine of the pleasant day seen to have added vigor to the frame of the "Old Roman" who, as he shook the hand of Cleveland, so warmly extended in congratulation, assured his caller that he had not felt so well for many months, and that he hoped still to weather a few more years. "But'! said he "I have lived long enough to find myself more than appreciated by the many kind friends who have remembered me on this day. No years could add to the warmth of the congratulations which they have showered upon me." Mr.

Cleveland assured the Old Roman that the greetings of this day, which come from all quarters of the country, some extended in person, others by letters, and hundreds by wire, were but the spontaneous expressions of a grateful people toward one whose proud and unswerving career had won for him alike the veneration of his party. "We hope, said Mr. Cleveland, "that you may yet be spared many years of usefulness to see your doctrines and teachings realized Among the prominent Democrats who have arrived this forenoon was Congressman Springer, of Illinois; Mansur, of Missouri; Outhwaite, of Ohio; Ex-Commissioner of Agriculture Coleman, of Missouri; Governor-elect Boyd, of Nebraska, and Congressmen Duburrow and McGann, of Illinois. 1 The Iroquoise ise Club, of Chicago, provoked a hearty cheer as they marched into the Neil house, each member decorated with an artistic badge, the insignia of the Illinois organization. Headed by Gen.

Smith and Governorelect Boyd, of Nebraska, the first call of the club was upon Congressman Springer, who was greeted as "Mr. indication of coming honors. The congressman returned the salutation gracefully, but acknowledged his candidacy and hope of success for the speakership of the fifty-third congress. At 11 o'clock in the forenoon a reception took place at the governor's office, where President Cleveland met the many distinguished representatives of the party which acknowledged him as a leader. During the reception at the State house the firing of cannons welcomed Mr.

Cleveland to the State Ohio. The clamorous crowd which assembled in the building would not depart without personally greeting the ex-president, and a line was formed and as the vast multitude ebbed slowly through, Mr. Cleveland shook hands with his enthusiastic cheers. By his side stood Gov. Campbell, who had ventured out for the first time during the day, Congressman Outhwaite, Hon.

Joseph McDonald, of Indiana, and several other Democrats of national celebrity. In view of the trying exercises of the evening before him, Judge Thurman did not venture out to the capital reception, and by tacit agreement was graciously granted a few hours rest. The reception lasted until 12:30 p.m. At the conclusion of the Cleveland reception at the capitol the ex-president repaired to the executive mansion where, at an informal dinner at 2:30 p.m., he was afforded an opportunity of meeting in private a few of his particular friends. Composing the dinner party there were the expresident, Gov.

Campbell, Congressman Springer, Hon. Daniel Lamont and Congressman Outhwaite. At the banquet this evening the address of welcome will be delivered by John G. Lentz, president of the Thurman club, while John J. Outhwaite will occupy the position of toast-maker.

The order and responses will be as follows: 1. "Our Guests' -Allen Thurman. 2. "Citizenship in America" -Grover Cleveland. 3.

"The State of Ohio" -Gov. Campbell. A number of extempore addresses will be made. The list of distinguished visitors and those swho occupy seats at the banquet table was not composed exclusively of Democrats. There were a number of Republicans here from Ohio and elsewhere who came not a8 partisans but as citizens to show their appreciation of the public services renderJudge Thurman.

The visitors came from all parts of the country far and near. The Democrats of course predominated, as the banquet was projected by a Democratic club and given in honor of the birth of a distinguished member of that party. The "Old Roman" is just taking his seat in the banquet ball and there is tremendous cheering. Ex-President Cleveland took his seat by the side of Mr. Thurman.

The band is playing the "Star Spangled Banner" amid the tremendous cheering. The banquet hall, with the most distinguished assemblage probably that ever sat down to a banquet in this country, was then photographed. Another Collision. London, Nov. an early hour this morning a train on the London and Northwestern railroad crowded with workmen, proceeding to the city, collided with a goods train in the tunnel at Chalkfarm.

One brakeman was killed and a large number of other persons were seriously injured. A School Boy Suicides. Vienna, Nov. 13-A suicide of a school boy, a member of a family of good social position, bas caused a sensation here. The boy found great difficulty in mastering the third declension in the Latin grammar and the fact so worked on his mind that he took his own life.

He Will Be Missed. Rich mond, Nov. 13-Senator John W. Daniel, of Virginia, will not be able to attend the Thurman banquet. The E.

Sone Information in Regard to Tornadoes. SALT LAKE, Nov.

Finley, the wife of Lieut. John 8. Finley, of the U.S. the noted expert on tornadoes, is visiting in Utah. In regard to the statements in Gen.

Greely's annual report claiming that thunder storms are more destructive of life and property, than tornadoes. Mrs. Finley can give you some statistics from my husband's official report on tornadoes. Their number, 50 far as observed within the last 17 years, WAS 1,566, With the sole exception of the Rocky mountain region no part of the United States is exempt from their ravages. No season of the year is wholly proof against them.

Some of the recent. tornadoes were very destructive, as for instance the Grinnell tornado in 1882, by which a portion of Central Iowa was visited and the town swept from the face ofthe earth. In 1885 a tornado passed over Maryland, Delaware, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania, destroying over $2, 000,000 worth of property and many lives. On April 14th, 1886, St. Cloud and Sunk Rapids, were visited by the monster, resulting in a loss of over one hundred lives.

Among the severest of late times, is the terrible experience of February 19, 1884, when the States of Virginia, North and South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee and Kentucky were visited by sixty tor. nadoes, by which nearly four million dollars worth of property was destroyed, eight hundred people were killed, two thousand tive hundred wounded and fully fifteen thousand persons rendered destitute. Over ten thousand buildings were destroyed. I have no data regarding thunder storms." Huntington Eulogizes Gould. SAN FRANCISCO, Nov.

P. Huntington, president of Southern Pacific Company, when asked his opinion of port that Gould was to assume control of the Union Pacific, said it looked probable and if it is true Gould will give the road a good administration. He is a practical railroad man and, like myself, wants to bring about a stable condition of things of the great Western roads. "If Gould assumes the presidency of the Union Pacific, does that mean progress toward a big combination that shall include the Southern Union, Missouri Pacific roads and Atchison?" was asked. Mr.

Huntington replied: "I am in favor of a consolidation and have gone so far as to offer to consolidate. I told the Atchison people I was willing to combine all our respective properties and let them decide on the name for a joint company. The Atchison people have not accepted the proposition and I cannot say if they will." Speaking of the rumor that the Standard Oil Company was about to buy the Trans-Continental route, Mr. Huntington said: "The Standard Oil Company has made no effort to buy the Southern Pacific. Nobody else is trying to buy that road as am aware of.

A Broker Suicides. SPOKANE FALLS, Nov. Denny, a prominent broker on the mining exchange, committed suicide yesterday by blowing his brains out. Financial losses, it was said, induced the rash act. Tuesday he had $1,500.

He fell in with some gamblers and it is said lost all or a part of this money. Yesterday he drew several checks, which were protested. He went into the business block on Sprague street, which he built and recently sold, and going into a vacant store room and seating himself in the show window, sent a bullet through his head. In his pocket a card was found directing the disposition of his body. Denny was about 50 years of age and was a pioneer of the Pacific northwest.

He went into Coure D'Alene in the first rush, where he owned a large placer mine, and was once engaged business at Deer Lodge, Mont. He leaves a wife and two married daughters in Deadwood, Dakota. A Train Falls Through a Trestle. SALEM, Nov. after 8 o'clock last night the overland Southern Pacific passenger train, south bound, went through the north of a long trestle over Lake Labish, about five miles from Salem.

The trestle must have given away as soon as the engine struck it, and the train and trestle all went down together. The engine was overturned and half buried in the mud, and following this were the tender. mail, baggage and express cars, smoking car and tourist sleeper. All were broken to pieces. Engineer John McFadden, Fireman Tim Neal, and an unknown man were killed.

An Owl In a Telegrapn Office The novel adventure of a telegrapher is recorded by the Palatka (Fla.) Herald, as follows: "Billy Dupree, the young train-night-dispatcher of the Florida Southern, while seated at his desk last nightwith only the click of his instrument to disturb the stillness of the quiet, was suddenly startled about three o'clock by the hooting of an immense owl which flew into the office through an open window. Billy was running No.

The great owl, blinded by the light, flapped its wings, circled round and round the room, breaking lamps and knocking down chairs, to say nothing of the unmerciful But, treatment Casabianca, which Billy he received. his post of duty until all was safe, when he made for the bird of wisdom and captured him. He has the owl securely caged and takes great pride in the capture. The bird measures seven leet from tip to tip.

Elsewhere will be found for 8 meeting of young Democrat the city, for purposes fully set forth therein. Its signatures are numerous here was discovered yesterday a strong current of public sympathy in the direction of its objects, Recent events have lent fuel to previously existing discontent, and there is great inquiry as to the character and strength of the projected movement.

Its leaders deny that it is in any man's interest or for any other purpose than the general welfare of the public, and claim to have the fullest assurance of the cooperation of the people. Ther desire the public to understand that lack of time prevented the more general circulation of the call, and that therefore no one to whom it was not presented should slighted or hang back.
