A Remedy for Hard Times.

The editor of the Bureau, Illinois,
Republican, writes in reference to the
hard times, of which considerable is
heard, in different portions of the
country. The editor thinks there
are other causes for the general COM
plant, than the exactions of the
railway monopolists, and there is too
much scheming TO get living with
out rendering an equivalent in hon
orable labor. ''Our boys" he says.
'Eare not learning useful trades our
farmers sons are crowding into small
towns and cities, seeking after pos
itiOns as clerks our girls refuse to
do homework, and so we are sending
to Europe for workmen, and buying
Of their artizans millions worth of
products and manufactures that we
ought to make for ourselves. Though
our crop of rascals is heavy, we do
not grow our hemp though we are
overrun with lads who deserve flag
citation, we import our willows. Our
women unless we are greatly de-
ceived,) shine in foreign fabrics, and
our men are dressed in foreign
clothes. We are like the farmer who
hires his neighbor's sons to chop his
wood, feed his stock, and run his
errands, while his own sons loaf
around saloons and spend their time
in playing billiards and gambling,
and then wonders why, in spite of
his best efforts, he sinks annually
deeper and deeper in debt, till the
sheriff cleans him out, and he starts
West to begin again. The time has
come for us to turn over a new leaf.
Our boys and girls must be taught
to love labor by qualifying them
selves to do it efficiently. We must
turn out fewer professionals, and
more skilled artisans and producers.
We must grow and fabricate the
immense quantity Of articles thai
we now annually import. and so re-
duce the foreign debt that we have
so long and successfully augmented
year by year. We must qualify our
clever boys to erect and run factor
les, saw-mills, rolling-mills, machine
shops, tanneries, to open and work
mines, improve and fashion nipple
ments, and double the product of
the farms. If we shall adopt this
policy, and then take such measures
as will correct the abuses growing
out of our mammoth railway priv
leges, we shall witness a true de-
velopment Of national prosperity
that will be as firm as the everlast-
ing hills

The Washington correspondent of
the Cincinnati Gazette states that
one hundred and fifty laborers on
the streets, who have had no pay
for six months, waited on Mr. H. A.
Willard, of the Board Of Public
Works, on the 18th inst, asking re-
lief. All they obtained was advice
to petition Vice President Sheppard
for their money, which had been pre-
viously done in vain. The contrac-
tors and jobbers in Washington have
grown rich, while the poor laborers
are not even paid for their service.

The Bright Future.

It is rumored that negotiations are
pending between Malone, Captain
jacques, of the Southern Security
Company, and General Rosecrans,
now in this city, involving the con-
solidation Of the East Tennessee,
Virginia and Memphis and Chat
tanooga, and Bristol and Norfolk,
and Memphis and Little Rock, and
Little Rock and Fort Smith roads
all to be put under the management
of General Malone and Captain
jacques, and to be extended down
the Canadian river to the Albuquer-
que. and constitute the central route
of the Southern Pacific Transatlan-
tic Road. We hope the supposed
scheme will be consummated, and if
the purposes defined be achieved
Memphis becomes magnificent city.

The Debt of the southern States.


The Washington correspondent of
the Cincinnati Commercial writes,
August 18th: s"There is no doubt
that a scheme will be introduced in
the next Congress contemplating the
assumption. by the General Govern
ment, of the indebtedness of the
Southern States. John W. Forney
and Gen. Butler, of Northern Re-
publicans, are already represented
to be committed to this scheme"
This matter was talked of at the last
session of Congress, and members
were sounded as to their views on
the subject. But it was ascertained
to be too late in the session to con-
summate the necessary legislation,
and so the matter was dropped for
the present, but it is to be brought up
in the new Congress. OF course this
effort to have the General Govern
ment assume the debt of the South
ern States is not made from pure love
for the people of these States.
There is nothing Of the kind at the
bottom of the movement. 1t is in
the interest of spectators. A large
portion of the bonds and other evil
dences which represent the indebted
ness of the Southern States. is in
the hands of Northern spectators,
mainly in New York, who have
bought up these evidences of debt
at very low figures. Some of them,
and not a very small proportion
either. are fraudulent and could not
be collected from the States by
which they purport to have been is
sued. But if Congress passes a bill
authorizing the General Government
to assume the debt of the Southern
States, these fraudulent bonds will
be paid the same as the other bonds.
There is a great deal of rascality in
this movement, and it should be
thoroughly exposed.

Our Railroad Prospects.

The prospect is Frightening for the
early construction of the great line
of Railway to connect the Atlantic
ocean and the Ohio river, Via Nor
ristown. The friends of the enter
prise in Kentucky, North Carolina
and South Carolina are at work, and
seem determined that the road shall
be built. Our people should second
these efforts. It is an enterprise of
immense magnitude to Morristown.
It's construction would build up here
one of the most thriving and pros
porous towns IN the State it would
open UP and develop the fine iron
and coal region north of US; it
would give to our farmers and stock
raisers cheap and quick transporta-
ton to the markets of the Carolinas,
and, in fact, it would infuse new life
into the various industrial depart
ments of our section. With all
these advantages to be gained, and
our interests generally advanced,
will not some Of our public spirited
citizens take hold of the matter and
get things in shape to meet our Ken
lucky and Carolina friends as they
approach our borders with the iron
horse? Let the question be agitated.

1t is not generally known that
among the many other interesting
incidents in the life of President
Andrew jackson, he was twice mar
ried to the same woman. former
Mrs. Rachel Richards, daughter of
Mr.. Donelson, the widow of Colonel
John Donelson, an emigrant from
Virginia to Tennessee. On account
of the dissolute habits of her hus-
band, Captain Richards, application
was made to the Legislature of
Virginia for a divorce, and soon
after intelligence was received that
the petition had been granted. Sup
posing that she was freed from the
marital relation, Mrs Robards and
General jackson were married in
Natchez, in 1891. In December,
1898, it was ascertained that the pro-
ceeding in the Virginia Legislature
was simply an authorization for
a suit of divorce to be entered in
a Kentucky court, and this suit
had just been brought to sac
cessful issue. Much chagrined. but
determined to be honorable and
correct, jackson, on his return to
Nashville in January 1894. took out
a license and was again married.

Tennessee's Future.


The New York Evening Post, in
an article 90 the future of Tennes-
see, has the following exceeding per-
tinent language:
1--WE are constrained to say, that
the commercial greatness dreamed
of by some of the Tennessee cities,
will not approach suddenly, but must
await the slow process of thorough
local development. What Tennes-
see needs to place it on level with
the Northern grain growing States,
and what it appears now to desire,
is a more liberal encouragement of
industrial enterprises and a better
appreciation of labor. BY its old,
narrow policy. it repulsed emigra-
ton and capital, by its new policy,
it will invite them. The State is
just entering upon new era of less
exclusive monopoly-more enlight-
ened prosperity-and it is this more
than anything else that will give it
u place among great commercial
communities"

The Statute of Limitation.

The statute of limitations does
not run against minors or married
women, and if q female minor mar
ries after arriving at full age, and
before the period of limitation has
expired, her rights are protected
until the death of her husband,
when the statute again goes into eff
feet. This principal, although very
familiar in the old Atlantic States,
seems not to have been settled in
Illinois until short time ago. In
a case recently tried in that State a
female minors real estate was sold
in 1853. she then being under age.
In Jolly 1855, having passed her ma
jority by five months, she was mar
ried. From that date down to 1872
nothing was done to regain posses
sion of her property. The Circuit
Court decided against the woman
upon the ground that she had for
feited her right of action through
not having commenced suit within
three years after 1885. This decis-
ion was reversed by the Supreme
Court. on the ground that the mar
rage of the minor in five months af-
ter attaining her majority placed her
under the disability of coverture,
and she was not subject to the three
years limitation.

Tally One.

Bailey, the Danbury Ne10s man,
has done something more than keep
the United States on a bread grin
from Maine to California. It has
long passed for a truth among philol-
ogists that the possessive its was
not in use at the time the Bible was
translated, which accounts for the
use Of his in many cases where
''its'' was the word. Webster's last
edition states that Its is a modern
word rarely found in writings of the
time Of Shakespeare and Milton. This
statement being revived in New
England papers, the Danbury Neaos
man comes to its rescue, and says
it may be found in Leviticus, twenty
fifth chapter, fifth verse, for which
important pathological discovery he

A Denclt of SO, 600. 900.

The New York Sun states that it
has information from reliable sour
ces, that there is a deficit of ten
millions of dollars or more in the
cash in the treasury of the United
States. No wonder Grant and his

ties of the ring. We wish the Sun

The Political Barometer.

just about this time, says the
Nashville Banner what with the
Oranges. the back-pay uproar. the
new-party experiments, the third
term bugaboo. etc., sundry poll
ticians are anxiously bestriding the

pendents stand upon the most COM
Portable ground of observation
The only points of the political COM
pass from which the political straws
afford the least index to the future,
are from Massachusetts, Virginia
and Ohio. The Massachusetts, Re-
publican Committee have defeated
the Butler wing in the matter of the
State Convention, which shows that
the majority of the party are against
this self-made candidate for Guber-
material honors. The Republicans
of Virginia have Endorsed the Adj
ministration and nominated ticket
which has strength. and will receive
considerable support from their for
mer opponents. The Democrats of
Ohio have refused to coalesce with
the Liberals, and have nominated
candidates who have long been iden-
titled with the historical Democracy !;
and their action has been followed
by the Democracy of Maryland and
Maine.

In accordance with this resolution
a surveying party, under the Chief

Sensible Advice.

A great many boys, as we'll as
men, complain that they cannot get
employment. Perhaps it is hard to
get such a place as you like, but
when you get a place, make yourself
useful in it; make yourself so neces-
sary. by your fidelity and good be-
havior, that they cannot do without
you. Be willing to take low price
at first, no matter what the price is,
if it is honest work. Do it we'll
do it the very best you can. Begin
at the very lowest round Of the lad
der, and climb up. The great want
anywhere is faithful, capable work
ers. They are never drug in the
market. Make yourself one of these,
and there will always be place for
you, and a good one too.

Danger to the Republic.

In the debate on the adoption Of
the Federal Constitution, Mr.. Madi-
son warned us of dangers, which, at
this time, are fearfulIy pregnant.
''Since the general civilization Of
mankind" says Mr.. Madison, 81 be-
lieve there are more instances of the
abridgment of the freedom of the
people, by gradual and silent en-
croachments of those in power, than
by violent and sudden usurpations.
On a candid examination of history
we shall find that turbulence, VIC
lence and abuse of power, by the
majority trampllng on the rights OF
the minority, have produced factions
and connections, which in republics,
have more frequently than any other
cause produced despotism. If we
go over the whole history of ancient
and modern republics, we shall find
their destruction to have generally
resulted from these causes. If we
consider the peculiar situation of the
United States, and what are the
sources of that diversity of sen
timents, which pervades its inhabi
tants. we shall find great danger tc
fear, that the same causes may ter
inmate here, in the same fatal effects
which they produced in those repub
lies. This danger ought to be wisely
guarded against"
