In ''the domestic life of Thomas Jeffer-
son" the grand daughter of Jefferson re-
lates Yankee trick that is not well known
in history. When Mr.. Jefferson died (July
4, 1926 an enthusiastic Democrat and
neighbor of Albemarle, Virginia, observed
that Jefferson, by dying on the Fourth Of
July, had raised himself and party one
step higher in the temple of fame. When
the rumor reached this partisan, few days
later, that Adams also lad died on that day,
he exclaimed in a passion, that 't was a
id Yankee trick"

THE SITUATION IN PARIS

Though the "Belleville and Montmartre
districts show no signs of revolt notwith-
standing the fact that they are, frequented
and occupied by the most rsbid of the
blouse radicals who swear eternal ven-
geance against the Germans and betrayers
of France the latest advices from Paris
represent the city calm. The National
Guards ordered to disband have piled their
arms in stacks on the boulevards, but go
about muttering, with revengeful looks.
The calm reported may be the calm before
the storm, or it may be the collapse of the
revolutionary upheaval. The best informed
seem in doubt as to which tits. The policy
of the Government, so far is conciliatory
and itlseems to have had good effect.
Gen. Paladines, who was at first little
unpopular, has now better opinions from
all classes and Friday received congratula-
tons from over a hundred battalions. The
Mayors Of the reimbursement of Paris have
all guaranteed that the National Guard
shall surrender the cannon in their possess
sion without coercion.
The Germans are gradually evacuating
the cities and districts and the Theirs Gov
eminent extending its authority. The in
dications. 50 far as we can judge now, are
favorable TO internal peace. To predict
anything about a Paris mob, however,
would De dangerous.

FROM the Atlanta Constitution we learn
that large and interesting meeting

ty, Georgia, was held at Cum

taking preliminary steps for the location
of the Macon, Ocmulgee and Knoxville
Railroad. The leading business men of
the county were present, and took part in
the deliberations. Among other rsolu-
tons, they adopted the following:

C. Kellogg, Captain I. Irish, Dr. j. L. Hughes
Dr. James Baily and DR.. f. 81. Nichols q spe-

WE have before alluded to the damages
sustained by the East Tennessee Universi-
ty during the war. It is known that the
United States Senate, at its last session,
passed bill appropriating s1s,5oO to pay
such damages. This bill was passed Just a
few days previous to the expiration OF the
Forty-second Congress. The bill was inn
mediately transmitted to the House, where
the Tennessee delegation, and especially
Mr.. Maynard, did everything in their
power to have it taken up and passed.
Mr.. Maynard obtained the floor on the last
day of the session and had the bill read,
accompanying it with few remarks of ex-
PLANTATION. Mr.. Holman, Democratic
Congressman from Indiana, objected to it's
consideration, and the bill was defeated by
the objection. Mr.. Maynard deserves the
thanks of the community for the energetic
manner in which he pressed the claim,
and but for the reason given he would GER
tainly have been successful.

CAPITAL AND rABos,


The relation of capital and labor, enbar-
rassed latterly by the power and efficient
organization of Trades Unions, is threaten
ing to become in some localities the all
absorbing question for present considera-
ton. We printed yesterday letter from
the mining regions of Pennsylvania, IN
which some reference is made to the con-
test there going on between the miners and
contractors. The whole question is at
tended with SO many difficulties that its
solution is really one of the most embar-
RAISING questions now current.
We do not wonder that workingmen,
improving by the example of their wealth
Ter employers, have been able to make
their Unions organizations of so much
power and cohesion. The theories upon
which, in some respects, they base their
associations have long been acted upon in
the more extended and pernicious " cor
nering" operations of city capitalists. The
practice of cornering the markets, whether
on gold, stocks or produce, differs very
slightly from highway robbery. In the
latter, man by force takes your purse in
the former, because of your necessities-
which he has conspired to create-he ex-
acts from you that to which he is not enti-
tied in morals or equity But if it is right
for capitalists to corner in gold and stock
operations, or merchants in silks or pro-
duce, why is it not right in workingmen
to corner on their labor?
The wrong in both cases is that the par
ties who alone ought to suffer generally
escape, and the burden falls upon innocent
and inoffending persons. Take, for exam
pie, the recent coal famine in New York,
caused by the strike of the miners and the
cornering operations of contractors. The
two classes that suffer are the poorer and
more dependent miners and the poorer
classes in New York, where coal has been
selling for $40 per ton. These are the per-
sons that suffer in most every case. 1t is
for their benefit more than for any other
that these conflicts should end.
In England, where strikes and Trades
Unions have long perplexed the people,
remedy has been devised by which, in all
controversies between capital and labor,
Vic queSGloHS III uIbputS are TeIelTeu 10 ar
bitration. Weneed some legislation which
will provide similar remedy here. No
one can justly complain at laboring men
organizing to protect by fair and legiti-
mate means their interests, when they find
capitalists associating together to further
their schemes. We are no advocates Of
combinations against employers where
unreasonable demands are exacted On
the other hand, we believe employees gen.
orally prejudice their own interests by such
means, but we do not wonder at organiza-
tons where just rights are asserted or en-
forced. The trouble now is, there is no
court Of last resort for such questions, and,
as we said before, legislation to provide for
il is what we now need
