t. We hope our General Assembly
win not fail to repeal the ten per cent.
interest law. The object OF the Legis-
lature in passing that law was q laudable
one, but it has proved an entire failure.
The effect of the law is to make money
more valuable and more desirable than
land, and hence it has had tendency to
depreciate the value of land; to Cypress
the people and make times harder. The
cheaper money is, theshigheF will be real
estate, and in all countries where land is
high the people are prosperous. Cheap,
poor land and hard-run, poor people are
apt to go together.

T The Legislature of Tennessee has
spent more time balloting for Senator
for the short term than was necessary
Two or three ballots ought to have set
tied the contest Either one of the three
prominent candidates would have salts
fed the people. The Democrats of the
Legislatuture are responsible to the peo-
pie for this useless expenditure of the
public money. The people ought to
hold them TO a strict and stern account
for all this foolish waste of their means.

The WAR VETERANS of 18l2-The
Philadelphia Times says: Some of the
Washington correspondents have fallen
upon mares nest and given the Hot
spurs of the press subject for startling
editorial warnings, in the discovery that
Senator Merrimon, of North Carolina
has introduced bill repeating section
of the pension act that makes loyalty
during the war condition preoed ent of
the payment of any pension. If they
were to look little further into the mat
ter, they would find that Mr.. Merrimon
simply proposes to place the corporaps
guard of veterans of the war who lived
in the South, on the pension list again.
These men we're too old to fight, but their
Sympathes were with their section. So
far from being new thing 1t has been
one of the stock propositions of Democra-
tic members of Congress since 1867. and
has found favor with many pronounced
Republican members and nearly all the
veterans of 1912 in the North.

Too FAST ENTIRELY.-Some of the
nake-believe friends of Job 81. Jackson
are too fast entirely in endeavoring 10
censure the authorities of this State.
We know that they regret that Mr.. jack
son finds himself in his present position !;
and they were ready to serve him or his
friends if there had been any way to do
so or if Mr.. Jackson's counsel had Of
fered to do anything to gain time or
make examinations. But no effort of
this kind was made either by MIR. Jack
son, his counsel or his friends. 1t is
therefore useless to censure our Govern
or, our Sheriff, or Sheriff Wells, Of Ga,
who up to the escape of Mr.. Jackson
from the cars for Richmond, as they were
leaving Washington, had treated him
with all due consideration and kindness.
THE details of this attempt at escape
will be found in another column, taken
from the Washington StGr.]
It is only ON par with the many
foolish assertions about "black-mailing"
that is heard on the streets. And to show
that our authorities, from the Governor
down to Sheriff Grubb, performed their
several duties only upon compulsion, we
republish the writs upon which they pro-
ceeded only in compliance with the Con-
stitution of the United States and in
obedience to the laws of Delaware and
of Georgia.
Those who read these indictments will
not put much faith in the correspondent
Of the Philadelphia Inquire,'s assertion
that it "appears to be clear case of kid
mapping"
This talk about "undue haste" is nou-
sense. There was none of it. Sheriff
Grubb complied with all the requests of
Mr., Jackson and never surrendered him
10 Sheriff W ellis until they boarded the
cars for Baltimore. We might as we'll
add that the abuse of the s'rebels" is all
gas-for those whom they aimed the
abuse at are guiltless of any injury to
Mr.. jackson. The man Kimball and
Governor Bullock OF Georgia were Re-
publicans who were sustained in power
by Federal baYonets. They fed the
State to escape from justice and now on
their return to Georgia they are detailing
some of their crimes, and they are res
ponsible for the information on which
Mr.. Jackson has been arrested and taken
to Georgia.

republican party shah suffer total and
overwhelming defeat. Not until this hap
pens not until the frank aud file OF the
party see that these false guides only lead
il into the morass of defeat, can the Pres
ident become sufficiently strong to draw
forward into the posts of leadership an
abler, better, more patriotic, less selfish
set of men and not until he does that
can he hope for comfort for himself sue
cess for his policy or re- establishment
of his party in, the public confidence The
republican party, under its present lead
ership, is a danger to the country hese
men show no policy except that ofreviv-
ing sectional dissensions and hatreds and
res sting every reform demanded BY the
people. They have control of the party
machinery, and like the old Tweed Ring
in New York, they use The voters oftheir
party to accomplish their personal ends.
Until they are overthrown and better
men assume their places and power in
the party every vote cast for a republican
ticket only strengthens their hands, every
republican success only perpetuates their
power, cripples the President and exposes
the country to new perils to its peace and
prosperity. The Herald is not n partisan
journal. 1t aims to support and defend
the true and real interests Of the country
against the schemes of either side. 1t
would be false to it's duty as an indepen-
dent guardian Oft these interests lift failed
to notice and to expose the danger to
which the success of the present republi-
can leaders would expose the country, or
If it omitted to warn the great mass Of
honest republican voters who adhere to
the Presidents policy that they will
make dangerous blunder if they vote
the republican ticket at the coming cleo
tions. Let them remain at home and
show Uy their silence hat they do moi ap-
prove of the course OF the present leaders
of their party. That is the most effective
way in which they can support the Presi-
dent.

The Baltimore American returns to
the charge of fraud as 1t does every time
there is municipal election in Balti-
more. The Democratic candidate for
Mayor OH Wednesday received a large
vote by 900 than Tilden received last
year, but the combined vote of all the
opposition candidate for Mayor was less
by 4,176 than that given Hayes. War
held, the Reform candidate, who was put
in the field by the Republicans and then
deserted by them, only polled $50, while
in 1875, when be ran against the regular
Democratic nominee. his vote exceeded
twenty-five hundred. There may have
been fraud, doubtless was, as it is almost
impossible to hold an election in large
city without it.

Some jealous Boston Republicans sent
5000 to OHIO to assist West to carry the

The civil enginecss of Chicago. after
discussing theAshtabula disaster, became
convinced that the bridge was as strong

A PATRIOTIC UTTERANCE.- On

petition to the Senate from business
men in New \ ork, in favor of an ami
