Who Issued the First Illegal Bonds
Ever Issued in Tennessee

Andrew johnson is making a great
deal of noise about the debt of Tennes-
see, and advocates what virtually
amounts to Reputation. Lett it be re-
membered that the first bonds ever is
sued In Tennessee, which were said to
be illegal. were issued in 1853 by this
same Andrew johnson to the East Ten
nessee and Georgia Railroad Company
We do not say that the bonds were H.
legally issued, but we do say that at
the time grave doubts were entertained
as to the legality of these bonds. An
drew johnson was governor of Tennes-
see from 1853 to 1857, when the Rail
road State Aid Bills were passed. Did
he say anything then, in any message,
against the policy of issuing bonds and
against saddiing upon posteritya heavy
debt? Not a word In fact, he has is
sued as many bonds as any Governor
in Tennessee. After the war he as
sisted in disfranchising the people OF
this State and 10 creating the Brown
Government, which placed upon Ten
aessee q larger portion of her debt.
He is rhe last man in Tennessee who
should open his mouth about 4 heavy
debt and the claims of a unborn pos
terity." Did he not advise some Of his
friends to vote for the Funding Bill,
which he now denounees? Will not

Is FoOd or Drink Most Essential!

A Pennsylvania paper, the Hanover
Spectator, reports that a stOne-cutter
named Peter Rreitler, of Gettysburg,
whose mind for the last year or two
has been considerably affected, has
steadily refused to partake ola mQrsel
of food for period of fitty-eight days
up to Tuesday, its latest date, only sus-
tanning life during this period by drink
ing small quantities of cold water.
There is said to be a case on record in
which a man lived eighty days without
partaking of food. Breitler, being in
reduced circumstances, was an inmate

A BLUE OUTLOOK.
The Republicans of Illinois and In.
diana i'm a Bad Way.

There is blue outlook for the Re-
publican party in both these States.
In Illinois the party has been demOr-
allied by its leaders, and the leaders
are now demoralized by the party.
Having been told by their Senators
and Oongressmen that the stagnatiOn
of business is due to lack of curren-
cy, many of their voters will now drift
away to the party which promises to
give them more currency. With what
face can Logan and Oglesby entreat
them to stand by the party when the
party itself has gone back on Logan
and Oglesby? Then the financial
crisis, which is still grinding its dreary
grist everywhere, will grind hard
against them, for panics always tell
against the party in power. The long
list of exposures of official corruption
has produced disgust and lcathing in
the public mind, and this, too, will
send dismal account of stay at-homes
on election day-enough to topple
over many Congressman who now
fancies himself safe. In Indiana the
same causes will operate upon a con-
stituency so evenly divided that there
is no margin to come and go. The
farmers movement in both States
means business, and in both will make
a desperate push for the Legislature.
1t will be distracting conflict, in the
midst of which the Democratic party,
encouraged by recent successes in New
Hampshire, Connecticut and Oregon,
will put in an appearance, in all prob
ability, with a hard money platform
and, if the infationists are divided,
will have large odds in their favor

Nellie Grant Nobody i'm England.

A London correspondence of the
New York Graphic says: | hope that
no expectations were entertained in
the United States concerning honors to
be paid to the Presidents daughter on
her arrival here as Mrs. Sartoris. The
papers recorded the fact of her mar
rage in a paragraph of five or six lines,
but no mention has been made of her
arrival with her husband in England.
In fact the opinion seems 10 be that
the young lady made BlesollidRce and
has placed herself at a great disad-
vantage. As Miss Grant, the daughter
of the American President, she was
welcomed here by the swells, and re-
ceiyed by the Queen; but as Mrs.
SartoFis, the wife of an English civil
engineer, she is nobody. | scarcely
know whether she can even be present
ed at Court 1t is to be hoped that
she will not be made unhappy by the
change which her marriage has wrought
in her position.

The Finaneier thus notices a far
mer' boy:
Mr.. Lick was farmers boy in Ian
caster county. Pennsylvania, and went
to California in 1919, where his success
become as phenomenal as is now the
use he has has made of it. He was a
cattle dealer on large scale in South
America, when the Gold discoveries
were first made, and became in Cali
f0rnia mill-Owner and real estate op-
orator on an equally bold and colossal
scale. He is said to have expended
nearly half million, in 1853. upon a
single Touring mill in Santa Clara
county, with interior fittings, of solid
mahogany and surrounded by fftv
acres of land which he set with
choice pear trees. He built a great
hotel in San Francisco, which bears
his name. Yet so unostentatious has
been his life that his uame has been
but little known. The spectacle of
this man, now that he is nearly through
with at least the comfortable portion
of life, reserving to himselfa life anu
ity and giving all his property to found
magnificent endOwments for all gener-
atlons to come, is one that is itself de-
lightful and conveys a moral which
need not be pointed out.

Power Of Mind.

One half the men who become in-
temperate are driven from home be-
cause Of its lack ofcongeniality-These
unhsppy homes are full of seedlings
and fretfulness. The mother spends
her evenings talking about the un-
faithfulness of servants, and the father
mourns about family expenses And
these parents sTe not satisfied until
their children feel as badly as they do.
For such young people you needa read
ing-room.-There is also large class
of young men ia boarding houses who
need such a resort. In winter they
have no FIRE in their rooms, and If they
want to read in the parlor, they are
hindered by groups Of Indies talking
spiritedly about new styles of fur, or
three or four gentlemen pay their at
tentiuns to lady, each one determined
to stay till the others are gone. Many
of our young men need, for reading
purposes. room well-wsrmed, we'll
lighted and quiet, and they can find it
nowhere except in the public library.
Is it not better for them to resort to
such places than to the public bar
room?

An additional excuse is being offer
ed for lovers to sit up late o'nights.
The new comet, lately discovered by
Prof. Swift, is making directly for
earth with immense velocity. 1t Is
now situated about one o'clock in the
morning. directly beneath the polar
star. and is clearly visible through an
opera glass. 1t will be nearest the
earth about the first of August, when
it will be conspicuous and beautiful
object. and there will be some object in
sitting up to see it, If the parents don't
object. Swift, by the way was not the
first 10 discover this comet. 1t was
FIRST seen at Marseilles, France. on the
18th of April. So the comet, like the
race is not to the Swift alone. In the
midst of this eternal fuss about the f.
naucial question, and the discussion of
such sordid topics as greenbacks vs..
hard money, it is good thing to have
our attention drawn away from earth
occasionally, and this comet will do it.
