THE Cincinnati Enquirer takes the
Democracy in Pennsylvania to task
for not making an issue upon the
greenback currency and public debt
question" Without saying directly
that Packers ownership of bonds and
his great wealth silenced the conven-
ton in that respect, and controlled
the nomination, the Enquirer hints as
much when it says: This probably
arose from the fact that the National
Bank or bondholdihg class, by in
triguing management, obtained the
ear OF the Committee on Resolutions,
while the voice of the Democracy of
the State was suppressed and not al
lowed to be heard"

THE WHEAT CROP.

As general thing our State ex'
changes report the wheat as unu
sually promising. This is indeed
gratifying, for we have not had 8
good crop and cheap flour since
the war. A correspondent of the
Gallatin Examiner, writing from
Bledsoe's creek, says the "wheat
looks well, and the earlier varieties
promise an unprecedented yield.
The Cleveland Banner of the 9th
inst. says:
"As yet we have heard Of no injury tC
the wheat crop. There is some complaint
about the heads being shorter than usual
but we hardly think this will cut the
yield below a good average crop. The
crop is so far advanced that no damage
is anticipated to it from rust
The Fayetteville Observer of the
9th inst. says of the crop in Lin
coin county:
"As we 60 to press, We arc Informed
by one of our farming friends, that the
late warm weather has wrought a won
derful change in the appearance of the
growing wheat A fair yield is now an-
ticipated from most felds.' ...-

THE other day the New York
Herald inquired very anxiously
whether the steamer Quaker City
was privateer. This same CUES
ton has given the administration a
great deal of trouble. She was al
legged to be loading munitions OF
war for the Cuban insurgents. On
the 18th inst. the British Minister
called on the Secretary of State
and informed him that the
Quaker City was owned by
a British subject; that she
was not intended for any illegaI
traffic, but was bound fer Jamaica
and that proper bQnds would be
-vr-IvUsFc0 UrroreuPUn wrUUe secretary
Boutwell, to grant her clearance
which was ordered in New York
In the meantime the Spanish Off
Gals went into the United States
Court and had the vessel libeled
This fact changed the question Of
clearance, which was yesterday res
considered by the Treasury and
State Departments, and the vessel
will now be left in the hands of the
cOurt.

have Injured the party then but
now that there is a split, one wing
assumes all the virtue and honesty,
while the other is represented as
containing the school fund robbers
and REGULATORS upon the treasury.
Even Senator Fuson writes that he
approves the aexposure8 Of these
traits of Radical officials, but he
was remarkably silent on the sub
jectali throug his senatorial course.
Had these members of the Legisla-
ture then gone Bowork and purged
their party of the men whose acts
they now denounce 30 glibly, there
would have been some propriety in
their course. Mr.. d G. Camp writes
from Knoxville as follows
"Your letter, making inquiries, etc,
relative to your course about school
fund, was received yesterday. In reply
L will say have not read your articles
upon that subject We should not up

HOW SCHOOL FUNDS ARE SQUAN-
DERED?


On the 18th of May the Memphis
Post, of which the Superintendent
of Public Instruction for the State
is editor-in-chief, stated that "no
school system in the Union is so
cheaply managed as that Of Ten
nessee," and in proof of this asser
ton, stated further that "the re-
cords of the State Superintend
ents office show that the total dis
bursements approved TO counties is
S4l0,91l.37; toschools, 1896, All 81,
and for pay of county superintend-
ents, s14, $50, or only 81 per cent for
the disbursement of this money
and the supervision of schools
throughout the State" The Press
and Times of yesterday has
an article bearing on this subject
somewhat, in which it is said;
"The remuneration of County (schooI)
Superintendents in other States, and in
this State at the time the school law was
enacted, was considered fair at five per
cent Of the amount allowed to the chill
dren of the county out OF the State school
fund. We find that 10 some counties in
this State it has been as high as forty
and ffty per cent. of what the children
were allowed. We find also that the
Superintendents were allowed pay Trace
for doing the same job. Let us present
facts dry facts are stubbornly eloquent,
and very convincing.
In BedloId county the children gotS3,s
7S3; the county superintendent got 500
--aearly taoepty per cent.
In Bledsoe the children got nothing,
the superintendent got $l2S-for doing
what?

In Rpane county the children get

There is q very wide difference,
in the statementsl Of these Radical
organs: 1.-The one Estates that the.
expense for county sdperintendants
has been only three and a half per
cent. of. the amount disbnrsed for
school purposes, q while the Iother.
shows thatln eightceunties it varies
from twenty to fifty per cent; Why
has the State Superintendent sane ne;
toned this enormous expenditure 4
Did he not know that there was
gross fraud in this matter9 If, as
he states, the whole expense
has been only three and q
half per cent? why is it
that in the eight counties manned
/ the per cent. should be SO enor-
mously high? We have accepted
Radical authority for all these
statements, butit is quite evident
there is error some where. The
Press and Times. asserts that some
comfy superintendent have been
been paid twice for the same ser
| vice, yet they cannot be SO paid
without the knowledge of the State
Superintendent, or else he is grossly
remiss in his duty. Indeed, in
either event he has failed in his duty.
All this corruption and mismanage
ment, we wish the reader to bear in
mind, is the Work of Radicals. That
party has had complete control OF
the State in all its departments, and
this corruption has grown up under
its protection. Time and again
have the Democratic papers of the
State charged that this school
business was being managed in q
grossly corrupt or incompetent man
ner, or both, and the only response
to these allegations was that they
were enemies of the free schoo
system. Now there is a split in
the Radical party, and it is the in
terest of one wing to charge the
other with responsibility for these
abuses, and there is fair prospect
that the taxpayers of the State
will learn how corruptly this FUND
has been managed, if the matter il
not hushed up as it was when the
| Legislature made feint of investi'
eating the squandering of the funds
returned with the Bank of Tennes
see, which were set aside by act o
that body as a part of the perma'
nent school fund.

RADICAL LETTER WRITING AS A
FINE ART


The "voice of the people is
the flowing headline of an article
in the Press and Times Of yester-
day, in which is included letters
from a bakers dozen" or 80 OF
CUaIe, Tor whom 1T is claimed that
they reflect "the voice of the peo-
pie" and that the school fund
robbers and railroad sharks are
execrated and denounced by them
Naturally the array of black dis
play lines introducing these letters
excited curiosity to see what the
representative Radicals had to
say touching the momentOus issue
involved in this canvass, that is,
who shall be Governor? Mr. W.
W. Murray, of Huntingdon, is
quite sure that t" it is entirely q
one sided question in West Tennes-
see,' and that I" Gov. Senter will
not get respectable minority;
Mr.. l. n. Roach, of the same county,
Carroll, } is not so sanguine, but is
confident his county will give
large majority for Stokes Mr..
Roach cordially approves the ex-
pOsure of the school fund robbers
and others who are preying upon the
State treasury, and says, Let them
have it." Judge Ma. Patterson is
inclined to guess that much is yet
to be developed" touching "the
school fund frauds and dishonesty
of all kinds connected with the
public administration" This is, to
say the least, a frank confession.
Jake W. Brown, Representative
from Franklin county" says
"They (who p have played long
enough with a deck of cards we
cannot see the face of, and we must
have a new one. We will have it,
and after we have got it, imperial
ism will have ended in Tennessee"
This is q confession we little ex-
pected. 1t is an admission that I'M
der the Brownlow regime we have
had an imperial governmet in Ten
nessee, where we were guaran-
teed by the constitution Of the
United States a republican form of |
government. Mr.. Brown was a
member of the last Legislature, but |
he never raised his voice in that
body to protest against the "impe-
rialism" he now confesses has exist
ed in Tennessee. All the Radicals |
in the State, including the two who
are now scrambling for the honor
of wearing his "Old clothes s" were
the obsequious subjects of the
imperial Brownlow, and none were
more ready TO defend his usur-
pations than these two and
Mr.. Brown. The Radicals have
held control of the State in
all its departments, and Mr.. ]. NJ.
Henderson, Senator from the sew
enth (Athens) district, frankly ad-
mits that lit is high time the
people should know whom to trust, .
and that "there is no doubt but that
there has been swindling going on
