Do Not Abuse Them,

We are not among those who be-
ieve the best way to effect a temper
ance reform is to indulge in the
abuse of, and apply opprObrious ep-
ithets'tO, the manufacturers and sell
ers of Intoxicating liquors. This is
not the way to accomplish good.
1t has a tendency to drive them still
further from us. Among the man
ufacturers of whisky in this portion
of the State are some of our most
substantial and best citizens. 1t is
a legitimate business, and they are
protected and sustained by the law
So it is with many of the retailers in
our town and county. They are
gentlemen who are pursuing what
they conceive to be legitimate and
honorable business. And so the law
declares it to be. There are perfect
ly honorable men in both branches
ofthis business,and we have no right
to indulge in personal abuse of them.
Let us not spend our time in abus-
ing those who sell Intoxicating IL
quors while it Is lawful, but rather
in creating a public sentiment
against the enactment of such laws
and against the use of it. Let pub
lie sentiment declare it to be as dis
honorable to stand on one side of
the bar as the other, then the reform
will commence in earnest Fayett E.

The Baltimore Sun is very severe
upon Tennessee because of her lame
and hating financial policy, and
says, touching the suggestion that
Governor Porter consult with the
bOndholders to secure a scaling
of the bonds or reduction of inter
est, that "there is a very general be-
lief of the ability OF Tennessee to
pay her debt, which is not a large
one in view of her resources, and
therefore there is not likely to be
much disposition among bondhold-
ers TO conspire in the interest of po-
litical demagogues, who lay only a
forty cent tax ten cents less than in
Virginia-instead of fifty or sixty
cents, which would be ample"

the whole, were not accompanied
by any personal injury serious

Lord and Lady Dufferin and suite
were present at the Female Normal

characteristic speech his excellency

side should he banded about at random
in the mouth of every empty-headed
Tom. Dick and Harry. In the United
States, before her marriage, Miss Grant,
daughter of the most august position in
the world, was generally referred to in
the newspapers as " Nellie" as though
paragraphists had been her playfellows
from infancy, and even Lady Dufferin has
become Kate" in the elegant phraseology
of United States magazine. This
practice was not without significance
when regarded as national Characters
tic. Women on this continent are
ladies as refined, high-minded, and noble
hearted as any in the world, and this
vulgar solecism should be got rid Of.
Schools lists are official documents, and
young ladies should be entered in their
full Christian names and not in nick
names
