DANGEROUS RECORDS.

Our Democratic friends can't eat or sleep
we won't say drink-because President
Grant and his Secretaries take recreation
during the vacation ofCongressmen. They
publish lists of salaries of the President
and his Cabinet, and figure it down to the
day, and ask their readers to see how easy
public men make their money. jefferson,
We believe, was the father of Democracy.
See what the Washington Ftderaist Of
May, 1902, said of him and his Cabinet:
Tho President has retired to Monticello.
hr. Madison, Secretary of State, is gone 70
Virginia. Secretary Deacham returned on tho
18th from an excursion to the Eastward Mr.
Gallatin Secretary Of the Treasury is on
party Of pleasure to Pennsylvania and New
York. Perhaps some profitable speculation
may fall under his notice, as he has much
money at command. The Postmaster General
has gone in the mail to Connecticut. Mister
Duane (the particular friend OF Mr.. Jefferson
and in the absence of Mr.. Giles, one of his con-
stitutional advisory has repaired to Philadel-
phia Levi Lincoln, Esq, Attorney General,
was the only public officer resident at the seat
Of Government for some time past"

THE Press md Herald came out yester-
day morning in strong editorial on the
horrors of the New York mob, and its
friends began to think that the editors
really had the manliness to take an une-
quivocal position one time at least. Yes
terday evening they got out and circulated
a little extra, in which they virtually re-
tract what they had said about the mob
and say "there was no mob on the streets. y
We presume three or four of their Irish
Catholic subscribers threatened to stop
their paper unless a retraction was made,
and they, las a matter of business" re-
tracted instanter. This matter of bust
ness" makes some mems consciences very
elastic.

WE again repeat our request, which we
throughout the country, to send us items
Of news. Short, pointed letters, on mat
tiers of public or local interest will always
receive prompt attention. To be appre-
ciated properly, items should be stated in
the fewest possible words, consistent with
clearness, and should be sent at the car
Hest possible moment after any event has
happened. We don't care to publish a
thing which has happened SO long since
that even those who witnessed it have lost
their interest in it. If these suggestions
are followed out by our friends we will all
ways give the readers of the CHRONICLE
fresh interesting local news, i'm every
number of the paper.

most encouraging intelligence from the
Kentucky canvass. Gen Harlan, by his
bold manner of meeting and combating
the sophistries of his weak competitor,
as well as his aggressions on the corrupt
Democratic party of that State, is winning
golden opinions, and though he may not
overcome the large majority which has
heretofore been against US he is making a
telling canvass, and will reduce it very
much.

TENNIE CLAFLIN and her proposed
''club house" is the subject of a column
editorial in the Cincinnati Commercial.
This just suits Tennie and progressive fe-
qnales who worship at her shrine. Noto-
riety suits them, and it matters very little
how they get it. A notice, complimentary
or otherwise, is all the same to them, just
SO it brings them into notice. Give them
notoriety, and they wish for nothing
else

A FEW weeks ago the Roman Catholics
all over the United States celebrated. to
their hearts content, the twenty-fifth an
niversary of the Pope's accession to st.
Peters chair. They were not interfered
with on the contrary, protection was af-
forded them, and Americans said let them
ENJOY and celebrate as they see fit this is
free country. But how different when
Orangemen quietly propose to celebrate in
New York. Last year, on the 10Th of July,
while quietly celebrating the same historic
event at Elm Park, a mob of brutal Irish
Catholic roughs broke in upon them with
their defenceless women and children and
Killed three and MORALLY wounded eleven.
Yesterday the mob was on more alarm
ing scale, is 1t free country where
Catholics celebrate to their hearts satisfac-
ton, but where Protestants can do it only
at the peril of their lives and at the risk of
the safety of our greatest city? How long
would we have free country if they had
our public school money, our laws tomake
and execute?

THE DOUBLE DAILY MAIL.
The following orders were received by
Post Master General on Tuesday:

Tennessee Route 10, oO1-Knoxvillet to Bristol,
contract is ordered with the East Tennessee,
Virginia and Georgia Railroad Company Or.
I. Wilson, Of Knoxville, PRESIDENT for service
twice daily each way-once daily in railway
post office cars fitted up in accordance with the
plans ofthe Department, and once daily in bag
gage cars at the rate of $225 per mile per an
mum, S29, 407 80, from October l. 1871, subject
to the order of the Postmaster General, dated
April 4, 1896, directing that in cases of certain
railroads indebted TO the Government for rail
road material purchased by them, all orders re-
eoRnizing amounts due said companies for
transPortating the mails shall be specially re-
ierred to the ouditor, to be placed to the credit
OF the Qnartermaster's Department.
Route lo,0o2- Knoxville to Chattanooga, and
branch from Cleveland to Dalton, is also or
dered to contract with the same company
once daily in cars as aforesaid, and once daily
ia baggage cars, with the same conditions as
described IN the contract on first described
route. Compensation at the same rate.
We infer from this that the double daily
mail service will not be put in operation
until October, or until the cars can be pre-
pared. 1t will also be seen that the mail
VIII be carried once daily in baggage cars.

THAT unsophisticated youth who was
inveigled into the loyal league in Chatta-
nooga upon the pretense that it was a So
cial organization" has again illustrated his
verdancy in the matter of the New York
mob. The New York Herald got up a
cock and bull story about the mob being
the result of Republican plotting, and with
its lit is said' and 1--WE hear it reported ~
&C., publishes a long article giving the
street rumors," that the Republicans got
up the mob between the Irish Catholics
and the Orangemen to enable President
Grant to interfere and break up the Demo-
cratic city government. Ramage bites at
the joke and takes it up for serious facts.
But we are not surprised. Now, jusG for
one moment, look at the verdancy of the
youth. The charge involves Mayor Hall and
Superintendent Kelso more than any one
else. Were they bought up by " Republi-
can emissaries, " to cowardly truckle to the
brutal mob, by issuing orders to stop the
procession? Wouldn't proclamation ex-
posing the Radical plot' been more likely
have issued, and more effective to break
up the mob and for political capital, than a
base surrender TO the rioters? If the plot
became street rumor, wouldn't they have
known 1t, and been eager to catch at it, to
relieve them from their desperate situation?
What poor straw for Democracy! That
Herald joke is sharp two edged sword.
1t cuts deeper into Mayor Hall, into Tam
many, and into the 'unsophisticated
youth of the Press and Herald, than into
any other thing. ... ..... ..

How funny it soundsin these days to hear
Democrats cry themselves hoarse over the
President and his Cabinet spending few
days away from the heat, anxieties and
bores of Washington. How solcitous
they are for the dear peoples money.
gave yesterday little extract from the
Washington Federdiist of 1904, to show how
Jefferson, the great father of Democracy,
and his Cabinet gave our present rulers
the lesson for taking recreation. 1t was
Democrats then that were ''away from
their business" travelling on the peoples
money" Surely they can not complain
Mt Republicans for following the example
of such an illustrious leader as Jefferson.
Just see from this extract, published in
1904 in the Federalist, how Democrats
then acted:
"a sense Of duty more than a fault-fnding
propensity induces us to notice the conduct of
these (self-styled) Republican servants of the
people. The people give Mr.. Jefferson twenty
i've thousand dollars, and the other executive
officers from four thousand five hundred to five
thousand dollars each, with the expectation that
they will attend to their business and duty. 1t
Is not expected that upon the peoples money
they are to waste their time in travelling the
country either for personal amusement or pri-
vate businessmen if money ID to be made by
~, or for the more important purpose of cleo
tioneeringn

SENATOR PRUMBULL was the orator Of
the Fourth at Galesburg, Illinois, and
MADE speech which comes very near
placing him among the advocates of wo-
mans rights. He is reported as having
elevation of women, and hoped the dav
was not distant when women would re-
ceiVe the same pay for the same service as
men. The Senator further declared his
conviction that the right of women to par
uclpate in the government of the country
whenever they ask for it, can not be de-
MED, and the nation would he all the better
ana Purer Tor their participation.
When we take into consideration the
conservative tendencies of Senator Trum-
bun and the caution which always attends
the expression of kis opinions, his lam
guage rs reported is significant.

A NEW SCIENTIFIC DISCOVERY.

The people In the neighborhood of Paines-
vile, Ohio, have had some excitement re-
Gently on the subject of natural gas. a
large well has been opened on the premises
of the Lake Erie Seminary which is said
to afford gas sufficient to heat and light
the large buildings of that institution, and
n hundred fold more than is needed. The
building is $50 feet long by 81 wide and is
four stories high including the basement.
1t contains one hundred rooms. All these
are heated and lighted by gas from the
well; The cooking ranges and kettles in
the laundry are also heated in the same
way. The vein of gas was reached at a
depth of 700 feet. A number of private
residences in that vicinity are lighted and
heated in the same way, among them q
fine residence recently erected by Col. Jack
Easement, who is well known in this COM
munity as Colonel of the 103d Ohio In
fantry during the late war. 1t seems to be
a well settled fact that gainesville is un-
derlaid by mine Of gas, which is to prove
a source of wealth to the people, "a well as
a subject Of much interest to scientific men.
