A woman In 4 neighborhood is only

She can love truer or hate worse
than men Of ordinary calibre.
SIe can make Of II home q little

She can make n ten or q hundred dol

She can drive n man out of q house
il her tongue he working all right

She il better than pine or stone coal
for keeping u nei2hhorhood boiling
not, and home more unen lurahlc than
n burn on your first thumb joint; all
the time making you think she is Il
package Of refined innocence, n saint, n
favorable angelic advertising agent for
Gabriel.
She can kiss another woman sweeter
and talk about her worse than n OF
these kelortn RcpnDllcans can JAIN
about the President.
Aud she knows more by intuition OF
all the affairs Of the neighhorhood than
Grant knows about his relations or
the p~ostnIire presents he receives, or

She can he nicer to q woman SHE
hntes than a carpet bag politician is to
"A negro before he has voted.
She can walk further to display a new

And, God love her, if she loves a
man, she will stick t" him longer than
the Dent family will to the Immortal

ffOlu TIE hcNlpIlo hNai"ii''Sb
The Brownsville States deprecates
the movement in the Legislature 10 re-
peal the conventional interest law. 1t
makes q good argument against the
proposed repeal and in favor OF free
money, n portion OF which we sub
join;
The Legislature has no more right
10 regulate the price of money than II
has the price Of mules, M one can
fOrcsee what either will he worth n
year hence. In some instances u man
could afford 10 pay al enormous inter
rst-in Others he could not afford to
pay any interest at I'LL In both cases
lie mi-ht he forced TO borrow, Bnl
the lender should not be forced to lei
out his money for six per cent, when
the borrower could easily give more
and still make a handsome profit. II
Tie Legislature has a right to fix the
rate vt six per cent it has the right To
declare that only three per cent, or no
per cent, ut all, shall be charged After
all the arguments OH tue subject nave
been exhausted there still remains the
incOnlroyertible fact that money is II
mere commodity, like the various pro-
ducts OF the country, and Is necessarily
worth all II will bring. AS a matter OF
course we do not mean that the State
has no right to establish Il rate OF in
terest for the government VI transac'
lions where no rate Is agreed upon be
tween the parties, but we do assert
that private individuals have u right to
give and charge any rate OF interest
that may be agreed upon between
themselves, and that The State has no
moral right to step in and interfere,
What will be the result il it becomes il
legal to loan money at a higher rate
than six per cent ! Much that is evil
and disastrous aud little that is hene'
fetal. Many Of the banks in the State
would be forced to suspend. Capital
would he driven from our trade cen
trrs. Some of the hest ilnanciers
would leave Tennessee and a general
break up in business circles would oc-
cur. Money would be scarcer than
now and consequently real estate would
not lie in the least benefited by the
change, hut would rather share in the
general commercial depression. Ten
nessee has the power to pass such !
law, hut Tennessee has no power t.
compel men Of can to remain within
her borders and accept just what sh'
arbitrarily allows for the use OF ihei
~hard.carned savings. We hope tina
M such ruinOus law will be called int
existe ace by our Legislature. 1t woul'
only he a source Of trouble and woul,
probably be repealed 10y the next Gen
erai Assembly.
1t would be difficult 10 explain ava.
the points so well made by our Brown
vile contemporary. Yet we fear
will be as difficult TO convince thos
who demand the repeal of the law tina
sucl, legislation would prove q dea
letter in commercial centers as thai
ever could it he enforced, its tenienc
would he to drive capital to State
whose laws legalize Il higher rate o.
contract than SIX per cent. Tennessee
is surrounded by such States, the pee
pie of whom need money from abroad
and are willing to pay what is know
rs the market prlce.

The Home journal, last week, said
it did not like the Compromise Bill.
The journal has not changed ito views.
We think that Tilden and Hendricks
were fairly elected, not only by the
popular vote, hut by a large majority
under the Electoral plan. But, mas
much as the Compromise Bill seems to
be intended to prevent strife, and mas
much as leading Democrats and 1.-The

any short sightcdness on our part is
ready to be cast into the waste basket,
We have had enough OF war, and the
Home Journal, under our control, will
never lend its aid to any scheme that
involves war, except that honor and
life arc involved. But il csnuo. he
