Mr.Overinaiis' candidacy will cause enthusiasm among the young Democracy of the State. If primaries and conventions are hot curried out more in accordance r with the laws of the plan of organi sation there is trouble ahead. As we understand it pri;Hary convention is for the purpose of ascertaining i who is the strongest m.m in "the .county or district". In either case if the law of the party is followed to ithe letter it is easily decided. Let jniuiaHes bt; held in each township in the county and there the Demo crats vote for each candidate and send delegates to the county convention instructed to vote the full strength each candidate commanded at the ballot box of tile primary, and by .---'this way the county convention , can easily ascertain the strength of the different candidates and elect . delegates to the district .conventions representing just what strength the candidates commanded npt the primaries. "This is a year when no trickery or deviation from iheiparty law should be tolerated. .Just so certain as ill feeling is al lowed to'brew in the party just so certain will the party loose. The Watchman has no candidates but wants the men who can command the largest number of Democratic yotes to be nominated. Tennessee is about to enter upon a peculiarly hot campaign for gover nor and other .officers. Already the judicial nominations have been made and there has been a fusion of the populists and republicans as to the supreme court positions.

"j The Supreme Court of the Uuited States will have to settled uw ques tion as to the rights o negroes on railroad trains. 1 Nearly, all the Southern States have laws providing separate cars for white people and negioes and re quiring the races' to be kept separate on passenger trains. The Supreme; Court has affirmed the right of State to enforce laws of this sort within their own limits. A case has come up recently which . . ... involves the Question whether a State can apply such a regulation to inter-state commerce. A negro and bis wife started from an Indiana town to a point jri Ken tucky. Their tickets called for first class passage and they, took seats in "the ladies' car." When they reached Kentucky they were told that they must move into the car provided for negroes. They refused to do so and were put off the train. They brought suit against the railroad and the case was tried before Judse Barr. of the United States court for Kentucky. The court held that while Ken tucky might enact and enforce such ii law regarding people traveling only over lines within the limits of that State, it interferes with inter-state commerce when it dictates to people coming from another State. The C3 case will be carried to the Supreme Court and the final decision will be awaited with interest. The dispensaries to Open August i. Charlotte Jsews. Those who seem to haye the in side facts, say that on August 1st, Tillman's discensarv law will be again in operation in South Caro lina. This will be brought about by a change in the Supreme court bench. A new man is to be put on, about July 28th, and the former decision of the court wilt be reversed. Till man has all the di-pensaries stocked and still retains the old officers, and can resume business on a day's no tice.

New York World. Is Eugene V. Debs responsible for his actions, or, indeed, is any man who ouce suffered from dipsomania 1 a t m. a competent leader of his te low- man ? This is a question now ngitating some people in this city wbd are ac quainted with the president of the American railway Union and, leader of the Western strikers. Debs came to New York a few months ago to be treated for alcohol- ism. lie was at that time a physical wreck, aud when under the influence of liquor a victim of hallucinations. He came with a letter of introduction from Col Robert G. Inaefsoll to Dr. T. S. Robertson of No. 28 ast 'n i.v il t l. ii 1 1 lwen.tietn street, tne specialist in disorders of the nervous system, who was at that time devoting most of '-. . . 1 1 ms attention to diseases resulting from the excessive use of stimulants. What Dr. Robertson thinks of Debs' attitude in the present situation mav be judged from the following tele gram, which he sent last Thursday evening to his former patient: "As your friend and physician, I emplore you to stop where you.are. The condition of your nervous svs- em and the gre.tt strain upon it make you irresponsible for your own orders. Yours, in friendship. T.S. R." To this telegram Dr. Robertson has received no reply. He said yes- erday that Debs had been treated! for neurasthenia nerve weakness and dipsomauia, and that he was practically a physical wreck when he came here from the West for treat ment. At that time Debs had visit ed a brother-in-law living sotnewhere 011 Lexington avenue, and had been accompanied by his wife, whom Dr. liobertson described as a charming woman. Dr. Robertson, while loth to speak of a former patient, said that he had sent the telegram not only in the iuterestof Debs, but believing that it would hasten the end of the pres ent excitement. uThe continuous strain to which he is subjected,'; said Dr. Robertson yesterday, . "cannot but affect hi- Lnervous svstem iand the soundness ol his judgment, i In moments of ex citement he is liable to be carried away by his own enthusiasm; and his judgment of men and affairs ne cessarily must be mistaken." "What was his condition when he came to New York "He was all broken down,' replied Dr. Robertson. ( "He was suffering from nervous prostration as a result of excessive use! of stimulants. He was earnestly desirous of reforming nnd he cheerfully submitted to treat ment. At the1 end of a month he appeared to be cured, and he returned to the West. Some months ago received a letter from him saying the cure had been permanent tip to that time. Dels struck me as a man of very high intelligence m his lucid moments. He was, however, filled with enthusiasm for the cause of labor, and he had the most optimistic- views of the future. He told me all about his work! in editing a labor pa per, and he appeared to belong to any number of societies. Unquestion ably the man-Was sincere in ali ne said and did, but his sanguine, tem perament aud the amount of work I e put upon, himself finally led to the use of stimulants,; ani these taken in excess brought j on nervous pros tration," v j "Is he a man 'of sound judge ment?5'.' -. j f "In ordinary tiroes, yes, hut he is likely to. be carried away by excite ment and enthusiasm. The present strike cannot but collapse. The soon er it is 6ver the better it will be for Debs. He ought to know himself well enough to understond that ex citement of this kind is bad for him. I telegraphed him in the hope that he might be made stop where he was. y 4'I do not know that he had ever had any return of the nervous dis order for which he was treated here, but when he went back to Terre Hante I cautioned him against any undue excitement as well as absten tion from liquor 1 tnink he told me he was an Alsatian by, descent. He was a great, admirer of Col. Inger- soll, whom I think he knew in the West. He used to rail against mon opolies, and declare that a time of reckoning would soon be at hand. I do not know that he 'was ever in New York before became to me." "What is neurostheuia?' "Neurasthenia njay be defined as a condition of nervous debility sup pose to be dependent upon impair ment in the functions of the spinal cord. Col. lngersoll was at his summer home in Dobbs ; Ferry yesterday Debs made the acquaintance of very few local labor leaders when under treatment by Dr. Robertson. He de voted his time while here to setting cured of his nervous trouble, avoid ing excitement of all kinds, and when he was discharged by his phy sician he returned to the West Terre Haute,' Iiid., July 8. Presi dent Eugene V. Debs, of the Ameri can Railway Union, is a graduate of the Keeley Bichloride of Cold In stitute, of D wight; III., and is presi dent of ouerof the associations form ed of graduates for union purposes. He presided at a re-uuion of gradu ates at Chicago a year or so ago, aud his speech was printed in the Chica go newspapers, at the time, in which he paid a glowing tribute to the work of the institute in reclaiming those addicted to drink. He had in years past indulged in ' occasional sprees here aLhotne, and it was to cure himself of this weakness that he went to Dv ight. Col. J. S.
