This is a feature of the latest styles Of
trimmings, characteristic and yet dis
tinctive. There are plastron backs and
plastrons square, heart-shaped, round,
cornered and pointed; short, defining
the curve of the chest and lung, like
vests. They are made Of all manner Of
materials, and worn with all manner of
dresses. Few models seem complete
without them. A new fancy is that of
p: ting plastrons and cuffs of cardinal
red in tilluel silk in black silk sacks,
while the richest dresses have q plastron
of fine lace laid over q brilliantly con-
trasting color.

BISHOP MARVIN.

In the death of this eminent
divine the Southern Methodist
denomination has lost an intel
Iectual giant and the general
church one Of the purest and
ablest advisers. There was a
conservation and godly individu-
atty about Bishop Marvin, cou-
pied with rare mental gifts that
made his life work a tremendous
spiritual force. With Duncan,
Munsey and Marvin gone, where
are there to be found men who
can sound as they did the gospel
trumpet? They seemed to be
specially needed at this crisis
when profane scientists essay to
undermine the christian creed OF
eighteen centuries, and introduce
in it's place the unsatisfying
homiIies Of men who would feed
an age upon the husks of cold
intellectualism. But the great
Head of the Church can and viii
call to the front representative
men of culture and force who
will be able to Stay the Goliahs
with smooth stones from The
brook. While we lament the
fallen, let us take heart for the
future.

The State Debt Question.

MEssRs. F,DTToRs A few thoughts
have been suggested to my mind IN
regard to the State Debt, on reading
the letters of Representative }. A.
Manson and Country Gent" ofToon's.
l Join issue with the latter, and think
the facts and figures presented by the
former are sufficient TO cause the tax
Dnvcrs of Tennessee to reflect seriously
as they see that it will be many years
Gre this burden can be lifted from them
and their children. The prominent
men of GAINESVILLE arc not III favor OF
repudiating any honest debt, but they
cannot comprehend the utility of
undertaking to remove the burden that
probably they nor their children will
ever see accomplished. They are not
in favor of accepting the sixty per
cent. proposition and hope our repre-
sentative will vote against it. Alarge
amount of this enormous debt was
contracted when nine-tenths OF the tax
noviuo citizens were DISTINGUISHED and
had no voice in the matter. Hence,
many hold that it is inconsistent with
the free institutions of a republican
form of government to assess taxes or
Law duties ON those who had nothing to
do with bringing on the cause. Our
forefathers certainly did not believe 1t
right. In some nonarchiel govern.
ntents the king has the power and
RIGHT ~ to Law " heavy burdens on
his subjects, but in republics every
free man should have chance to give
his assent or dissent a. to what he car

THE MESSAGE.

The Presidents Message to the
regular session of Congress is be-
fore the country. It's chief fea-
ture is the opinion of Hayes on
the financial status Of the coun-
try. He is evidently in the grasp
of the Eastern bond-lords. This
is as we expected. He was in
stalled to serve their purposes.
The truth is that both National
Democratic and Republican party
organizations are under the con
troll Of Eastern capital and ad-
verse to the protection and life
of Western and Southern produc-
ing interests. Eastern contrac-
ton Democrats and Eastern con-
traction Republicans are hand in
hand working to rivet hard times
upon the country. They are both
bitter enemies to the life of labor
The labor interests Of the country
must combine to crush this com
bination of unscrupulous finan-
cial conspirators. Not until they
receive a Waterloo defeat will
we have general content and as,
sured prosperity.

THE SITUATION.

When our last paper went to press
the resumption of business On the
railroads of the country had become
very general. Passenger an! freight
traffic was going on with but little or
no molestation. Almost the only eX-
cepton to this reign Of good order
was in the coal mining districts of
PENNSYLVANIA. The railroad strikers
having surrendered the miners raised
the battlc-cry with characteristic le-
rocity. AT Scranton, on Wednesday
The rioters came in conflict with the
citizen law and order organizations
who fred into the mob killing four
and wounding large number. This
dispersed them for the time. Cover
nor Hartranft having restored order
at Pittsbnrg Immediately moved a
considerable force to Scranton. This
bold prompt movement Of the Cover
nor has had the effect of preventing
any further riotous demonstration
but mining operations have been
brought to a stand throughout the
whole coal region and very great loss

THE EASTERN QUESTION.

Our attention has been so anxously
occupied with strife and blood shed at
home in the last two weeks, that the
great Russo Turkish war seemed to be
almost secondary affair. But late
accounts inform us that the Russian
advance which had left the Danube
behind and SO boldly struck across the
Balkans has received a most disas-
trous check. The English papers bring
intelligence of a great Turkish victory
on the 26th Of July, in which the
Russians were completely routed after
two days hard fighting, with loss OF
5000 killed and $1,000 wounded. -
The Turkish casualties were compar-
lively small as they we're in secure
position, acting on the defensive. The
Russians suffered another rcpulse on
the 30th, at plevna, the Turks driving
them back with great Slaughter
