i will be seen from the comparison of the returns by taking tho Rali-

there was 80 negro voters and $50 white voters who did not vote in this
election who did vote last year. Taking off these numbers we have the

Major Howe received last year 1920 votes, but only 2238 this year.

Correction.

PHILADELPHIA, EeD. Z, 1ot-'
EDITORS CHRONICLE: In your issue of
yesterday, under the head of Facts About
East Tennessee" there is a remark made
by your McMinn correspondent which l
think may produce an impression the wri-
ter has not designed, and which 1 think
he will be quite willing for me to correct.
In speaking of the different denominations
represented in the town of Athens, he says
the Baptists and Cumberland Presbyteri-
ans occasionally hold meeting in town.
[ think it quite probable that any one not
acquainted with the facts, would conclude
that neither of these denominations had
an organization there. do not know any
thing about the Cumberland Presbyteri-
ans" in the place, but do know that there
is a Baptist Church there, under the pas
tOral care of Rev. J. B. Lee, and that they
hold meeting" regularly, .r- ..
There are great many Baptists who
read the CHRONICLE in East Tennessee
who would not like to see such statement
in reference to their interest in Athens.
And, besides, there are great many Bap-
fists elsewhere who would like to know
the "factso in the case. | do not suppose
that your correspondent meant "A slur."
His letter is an excellent one, and strictly
correct, except i'll the particular noticed.
A BAPTIST.

A Plea for the Poor.

There is perhaps no saying more truthful
than that "one-half of the world does not know
how the other half lives" and also it is equally
true and and more sad to say, they do not know
always how they die. Here in our midst, with
plenty and prosperity on every hand, instances
of individual suffering are of too frequent oc-
currence. Not day passes but what our ears
are saluted by the pitiful plea of children ask
ing for relief, which is not always given.
Individual charity is certainly noble, but it
can not be so well applied as if systematically
and methodically collected and dispensed. \
public meeting should be called at the court
house and committees appointed from the va
riouS wards to solicit aid in money and provis-
ions to be put in central committees charge
and distributed according to the needs of those
requiring assistance. The system adopted last
year was good one and the gentleman who
conducted it displayed II zeal that was most
commendable and reflected credit on their
christianity.
1t is true that in instances the generous are
sometimes imposed on by the idle and vicious
but that should not deter those who are able
from relieving the destitute. 1t may be that
some of the suffering have been brought to it by
sin and dissipation, but some of them have lit
tie children, who should not be held responsible
for the sins of their parents For general al
deviation of want there is nothing like system
atic organized effort.

Who shall ride that Hobby.

Your facetiOuS and very intelligent cor
respondent IS. n. u. ~ makes some eX-
cellent ObsevasiOns with regard to the
East Tennessee University; and while |
do not propose to mount that hobby, am,
nevertheless, disposed to encourage him
or any one else who will make the at
tempt.
When he asserts that cit was the design
of God that East Tennessee should be the
educational center .of the Cotton belt"
he only utters a sublime trUism. / like
that idea. 1t is not only a practical one,
but grand one, and is highly creditable
to the discriminating mind of IS. n. w.
[ want this idea to ring out clear and
strong throughout the Cotton belt" Let
us all put our heads together for the pur-
pose Of propagating it. Your cOrrespOn-
dent deserves the gratitude of this commu-
nifty for venturing upon such suggestion.
But will give the idea a wider signiti-
canoe. The University may not only be-
come central scholastic influence in the
Cotton belt" but of the Northern beltn
also Our geographical position is eX
tremely favorable to bring this about. If
the Southern people may find i'll our eli
mate theelement of physical as well as
mental invigOratiOn and an escape from the
torrid heat of that section, so may the
Northern people obtain relief from the
terrible rigors of a Northern climate. We
may thus become the center of educational
influence in both directions, and, while
we are educating the Southern mind, we
NAV also accomplish the same result with
the Northern mind. Taking this view of
the question, how formidable might this
institution become, and what grand results
might she accomplish! [ confess there is
a majesty and an overwhelming power
about it that causes me to stand aghast,
and, vet, | cannot resist the conviction
that all this might be achieved.
Still another aspect of the case. Let us
consider it Iegitimately. This University,
drawing into its enclosures the young
men Of the South and the young men of the
North, would do more to unite and har-
monte the two sections than all the acts
of Congress, or the efforts of the press i'll
this direction. We are discovered people
because we do not intermingle. That has
been our ruin. The two sections have
been as distinct as the Egyptians and the
Turks. What n revolution might be
brought about by bringing face to face the
youth of the two divisions of our country?
We may contribute much toward this
result through the powerful agency OF
this institution. Their should be vigorous
efforts to widen the area of its in
fluence. Let it act i'll every direction.
I have no doubt but that as. n. u" with
his able pen, is ready to endorse this senti-
ment. We must not only reach the "Cot-
ton belt,D as intimated elsewhere, but we
must pass over into the New England
States. We would like to see the "1an-
keen and the Southern boy sitting to-
gether and both drinking from the same
educational spring. Thus we might raise
up a mighty progeny who would strive
to hold the nation together and to
perpetuate its renoWn. REFORM.

Hints T0 Farmers.

The following hints to the farming communi-
ty deserve place in What l know about
Farming :" ..... .r
The proper timo to pull hemp is any Friday
that good judge may select
The time to put in rye is early i'll the morn
ing Some husbandmen, especially those in the
city, continue to run it in of intervals of halt
an hour and until bedtime. The practice is
only allowable in case of dry season.
Corn in the ear is apt to effect the hearing.
If eaten green, it will make the voice husky.
When dealt out as army rationS, the kernel
should always be served first, and then the men
privately.
To another correspondent who wants us to
suggest good drain on a farm, we would say a
heavy mortgage at ten per cent. will drain it
about as rapidly as anything we know of.
In sowing your winter apple jack, a horse
rake will be found preferable to a Step-lndder.
Step-ladderS are liable to break up, and are
hardly palatabe unless boiled with sugar.
In cutting down hemlock trees for canning
select only the largest. Don't throw away the
chips, as they make fine parlor ornaments en-
cased in rustic frames.
A pick-axe should never be used in picking
apples. 1t has tendency to break down the
vines and iniure the hives.

THE ENGLISH WAR QUESTION.
The Presidents view of the Situation.

The Presidents View of the Situation.
The well-informed Washington cores
pondent of the New York Times says
The President entertains the opinion that
the present furry of feeling in England is
chiefly for political purpose, and he is
very confident that whatever request the
English Government may make, it will
not be presented with the ultimatum of
war as the consequence of refusal to COM
ply on our part. In fact, he remarked to-
night, that such presentation would pre-
clude negotiation at the outset, and he had
no fear of such result because it would
be at utter variance with the spirit with
which the two nations had submitted the
question to arbitration. AS to war, let the
country rest assured that there is no dam
ger of that. The President, in converse
tlon tonight, remarked, with smile, on
this subject, that he did not propose to be
the author of fight (which he was not
willing to assume the responsibility,
and in which he was not ready to to take
his part. In the contemplation of the sit
uation, there is nothing, as viewed from an
official stand-po int, to excite alarm. 1t
can be said, with an assuranc of almost ab-
sOlute pOsitiVeness, that whatever the de-
mand of the British Government, it
must be declined This Government
has submitted the case to the arbi-
ton. 1t was in duty-bound to pre-
sent the case as strongly as possible, and
whater may be said of the probability of
an award for sO-called indirect damages,
such probability could have no weight i'll
determining the question of the presenta-
ton of such claims. Such liability had
been the position of this Government from
the beginning of the discussion. 1t was
held by Mr.. Adams throughout his CORE
spondence. 1t was maintained by Mr.. Sc
ward in his instructions. 1t was pro-
claimed by Mr.. Sumner in his speeches,
and it was insisted upon by the American
Commissioners in the protocols which ac-
companied the Treaty of Washington.
The position altogether likely to be as
sumed by this Government is that the Ar
bitrators must decide upon the question of
jurisdiction involved If England should
then go to the extreme of breaking up the
Conference and refusing to abide by the
treaty, it could only add to her record of
bad faith and iniure her in the end. This |
Government could well afford to stand |
firm, in such an event, and, Instead of be-
ing the worst thing that the Administra- |
tion has done, it would probably prove to
be one of its most popular acts. The feel |
ing here i'll all quarters against making |
any concessions is unanimous, and the |
general expression is, stand by the treaty, |
and let the Arbitrators decide questions of |
jurisdiction and liability as they arise.
