DR.. WILLARD PARKER may turn the
discussion Of the temperance question in
new direction by his papers on the use
Of alcohol. He says: 'Ifmen would use
pure fermented liquors in moderate
quantities, as condiment, and only in
connection with their meals, the use need
not be harmful, and at least in the case
of those past middle life might be bene-
fetal. The tavern is the travellers home.
If the State weuld license only bona fde
taverns, and then only to sell fermented
liquors, and would take proper preeau
tions TO guard against adulterations,
there would be small occasions for a
Temperance campaign against such q
license system.

THE
KNOXVILLE CHRONICLE FOR 1879.
Subscrtb iOr a Good, Reliable News
paper.

III DAILY CHRONICLE, and
Weekly WING AND CHRONICLE,
will be kept up during the year
1879 to their usual high standard.
By enterprise, accurateness, and
close attention to the wants Of our
readers, we hope to merit a contin-
uation of the liberal patronage
heretofore extended these journals.
Nearly nine years ago, when
there was not Republican daily IN
the State, and only two or three in
the South, we commenced the pub
LEGATION Of the CHRONICLE. In all
these years we have battled for Re
PUBLICAN principles, and. see no
reason to change our course now.
Hence we shall continue to publish
a truthful, reliable Republican
Journal, not the organ of any man
or clique, hut the outspoken and
fearless advocate Of principles,
measures and men, best calculated
to promote the welfare of the
country and the Republican party.
We viii endeaYor to make our
agricultural columns worth more to
farmers than our subscription price.
As a newspaper our publications
shall not be excelled in the State.
In addition to our telegraphic dis
patches from all parts Of the world,
our readers shall have the benefit of
correspondence and every other
means through which reliable infor>
nation is obtained,
Each number of tie paper will
contain selections made with special
reference to the home circle. We
will continue to avoid everything
calculated to contaminate, and will
publish a paper that may be taken
without question within the sacred
precints of the family circle.
Our market reports shall have
close attention, and be made entire
ly correct and reliable.
We call upon all persons inter
ested in the publication Of our in
dependent, fearless, reliable Repub-
lican journal to come to our aid and
assist in extending the circulation
of the DAILY CHRONICLE and
WEEKLY WING AND CHRONICLE.
In view Of the financial pressure
upon the country and the general
reduction of values, we have decided
to reduce the price of the WEEKLQ
VINO AND CHRONICLE to suit the
times, In the future we will send
our weekly paper to subscribers on
the following.

CITY EXPENDITURES.

1t would seem to most people
that the fate Of so many corpora
tons, the terrible straits into which
Memphis has brought herself, and
the present condition Of Tennessee
in regard to her public debt and
expenditures, would have a ten
dency to cause governing au-
thorities to keep tight rein upon
all disbursements. However natural
this view of the case may be, here in
Knoxville We find the action of our
authorities in exactly the contrary
direction.
In his inaugural address our
present Mayor, after going on to
state the financial condition Of our
city, says, You will have to either
curtail expenses or increase the
taxes" This was splendid advice,
and if followed out would have re-
suited in great good. But was it ?
At the last meeting of the City
Council it was resolved that the
salary of the Mayor should be in
creased to $1,000; and that each
Alderman should receive SIS per
annum, and So for each extra scs-
sion. A City Attorney was also
appointed, with a salary of $500
per annum. Looking at the
past, which we are told is
the only criterion by which
we can judge the future,
following tae precedent of all form
er Boards they will vote in a free,
love-feast sort of way, money to
the chairman of several Of the com
mittees. Du ing the last year, ac-
cording to the report of the Finance
Committee Of 1877 and the Mayors
statement Of 1878, we find that the
floating debt of the city has been
increased some thousands. And it
must be remembered too that in the
former year the street car bridge
was built and in the latter no ex-
traordinary expenses were incurred.
Now, if The Board carries out its
policy, as fol- eshadowed by its lost
meeting, she debt VII be further
increased.
Knoxville has, for a city of her
size, large de5t5, large omOunt Of
it now due, and quoting from the
Mayo, "not cent in
the Treasury. Our city school
teachers, on account Of the
Legislatures action in post
poning the collection of taxes, are
paid in warrants, which have to be
cashed below face value, general
ly between ninety and ninety~five
cents; sometimes, However, less.
Thus, the school system which
Knoxville should be SO proud of
and should foster so carefully, is Sc
riously damaged. Most of the
teachers are poor and teach for a
living; consequently this is very
hard ON them.
The summer months will soon be |
here and the terrible visitation of
last year in the South should speak
in thunder tones OF the necessity of
at once getting our city in a clean
and keeping it that way.
There are large number of streets,
alleys and yards that should be over
hauled and it will cost money to do
it. In the face of all these facts,
The action Of the Board must be re-
viewed with some degree of appre-
hension.
