From Our Own Correspondent
de-. &e.


Kentucky is partly misrepresented
ia the present Congress by brace of
Bourbon Congressman, who rejoice in
the euphonious cognomens of o. Tur-
ner and T. Turner. They hail from
that portion of the dark Common
wealth where whisky flows like water,
and where a gentleman is not re-
spected unless he keeps q jug of the
squire stuff" on his water shelf near
the back. steps. Now the average
Kentuckian, while he enjoys his
:" toddy" generally, manages to keep
on his pegs. and if he be a thorough
bred will get :. outsidep of a quart a
day without detriment to his mental
equilibrium. s But not so with o.

wretched Washington whisky, which
the average Democratic Congressman
guzzles down with delight. It is a
notorious fact that the meanest of
whisky aud tobacco are always to be
found in Washington. Dealers tell
me that they can't afford good

demand for it. as the average B urban
Congresemau likes an article that

SOUTH CAROLINA TROUBLES.

CO.
There is one truth which in a
country like ours, where politics in
terests everybody, is Of incalculable
benefit to the Nation. When one
party is vastly in the majority, or
where it, by some means other than
by the consent of majority Of the
people, gains the Offices the loaves

portions as to blind the eyes Of the
outs to the results, and split is the
outcome. For instance, in Virginia,
the loaves and fishes infamed the
minds of the outs until they were
so worked upon by them that an IN
ternecine political war was the
result, and the outs became the
ms. Malone in the Senate, and a
hostile Legislature, is terrible for
the "regulars" to contemplate.
This same thing is occurring in
South Carolina. In that State the
two factions of the Democrats are
led by Senator Hampton and Gen.
Gary-the former representing the
ms and the latter the outs. The
breach has become very wide and it
is thought by some Carolinian poll
iticians that Hampton will have to
resign his place in the Senate to
come home to run for Governor
again or the regulars will be served
up in the Virginia style. Not only
are the two factions fighting, but
the two heads have glided into a
personal warfare and whifom weigh.

THE KNOXVILLE CHRONICLE
And Weekly Wing and Chronicle
FIR 1890.

During the coming Presidential
year, the DAILY CHRONICLE will
take an active part in the vigorous
discussions of all political issues
involved, and will, at the same
time, keep its readers fully posted
on all the important events of the
day. 1t will do whatever is honest
and legitimate to promote the sue
cess of the Republican ticket,
placing fidelity to the interests of
that party above any personal aims
or privata ambition. To this end
it will favor the selection of good
men with clear records, per-
sonal and political, for standard
bearersin the coming canvass, and
when such are selected, it will do
everything reasonable to secure
their success.
In State politics, the CHRONICLE
will support no man for any Office,
from Governor down to constable,
who is not in favor of paying the
State debt upon terms satisfactory
to the creditors of the State. It
will oppose the efforts Of repudia-
tionists to drag the entire State
down to their low and degraded
standard, first, last and all the time,
and even though the repudiationists
should be successful, it will continue
to denounce them and their infa-
nous schemes.
The WING AND CHRONICLE will
be published weekly, as before, and
will be made up from the issues of
the DAILY CHRONICLE. It will con-
tain choice selection of miscella-
neous matter each week, together
with editor ais, telegraph and local
matter. Especial attention will be
given its columns, and everything
that could be Objectionable in the
family circle will be carefully ex-
cluded. It will be the object of the
publishers to make it a welcome
visitor, into the families of the
country.
Its market reports will be carefully
revised every Tuesday and made as
nearly perfect and reliable as pos
sible. .-..,
The Agricultural columns of the
WING AND CHRONICLE shall receive
close attention, and will be i'm.
proved all the time. In this depart
ment, the views of practical farmers
on topics of interest will be invited.
The proprietors of these two ole
and we'll established journals will
spare no pains to keep up and add
to their established reputation, and
are confident that they will make
them worth many times more thar
the subscription price charged.

DANGEROUS PRACTICES.

Now that of the once ringing and strident
yell for anti gravitation sewers there Is moth
ing left but few musical whispers through
the Doggy borders of POntchartrain, 1t is time
to corral few ideas on more practical
basis, and institute search for means by
which the sanitary condition of the city
might really be improved. The poetic dream
OF Cloaca Maxine through Canal street was
too lovely to last long, and from the hashish
vision Of $40, 900 of our lucre sunk In the
substantial but inconvertlble form Of under
ground drains with ramifying coupons at
tached, we awake to cruel realization
OF the fact that something Is needed in way
Of an improved system of keeping the gut
tiers now in use from contamination. Ofcourse,
to call the ecstatic jewellers In sewer dreams
to commonplace survey of vulgar and low
flung cutters is flop most unromantic and
woful to think OF. Nevertheless, it must be
done, and we cruelty recognize the narrowing
situation, and ruthlessly proceed.
The extraordinary labor of the city officials
and Sanitary Association In cleaning the gut
tiers of this city Is much tmpeded by the prae-
tice in some neighborhoods of throwing re-
fuse into the streets. This, by natural pro-
cess, gets into the CUTTERS and. being brought
in contact with water therein, gives rise to
the fermentation which breeds malaria. Many
cutters which have been recently cleaned are
now speedily lapsing into their former con-
dition, and unless the evil Is speedily checked
the work Of the city and sanitary officials will
be incessant and futile. The only
way to encompass the difficulty In
their path, IS to strictly enforce the ordi-
nance forbidding the throwing of any refuse
whatever into the street, and have the police
see that It's provisions are carried out. The
move on" ordinance is not half SO important
as this, for refuse thrown upon the streets al
| this season Is SO much poison administered te
the immunity. In this connection it wout
be well to impress upon people the danger d
allowing such accommodations OF filth In theil
neighborhood, that each householder may BIT
interested In the sanitary movement and aic
the officials as much as possible in prevent
| ing violations OF the ordinance and ferretinp
out offenders. At this season the Importance
of vigilance in this regard cannot be over
estimated, and we hope. in the interest of the
| public health, the matter will meet earliest
1 consideration,

CRIME AT THE NORTH.

In an elaborate article, the New York Herald
discusses the holiness, frequency and atrocity
Of crime lin that city, and attempts to fas-
ten the entire responsibility therefor on the
inefficient and worthless police. The incapa-
city, carelessness and ignorance Of the force
has become so notorio IS, that criminals set
about the most desperate and atroclous viii
lainies without the slightest apprehension Of
detection and punishment. AS the charac-
ter Of the police deteriorates the boldness
Of the criminal classes naturally increases.
Proceeding on this line Of argument the
Herald holds the police directly responsible
for the Manhattan Bank burglary, the rob
berry Of the Stewart grave, the Hull murder
and the Seymour assassination, not because
they did not happen to be present at the mo-
ment these crimes were committed, and thus
failed to eecure the criminals, but because
such crime would never have been thought Of
had the police been as noted for watchfulness
and sagacity as they are for carelessness and
stupidity
There may be, and doubtless are, just
grounds for every accusation m ade by the Her
aid against the New York police, and it cannot
be questioned, but that greater efficiency and
vigilance on their part would assist very ma
terially in checking crime by making its de-
lection and punishment somewhat more GER
tain. Still it strikes US that the Herald view
Is but superficial one, and falls entirely to
reach the merits of the question. In the first
place, the appalling condition Of affairs the
Herald speaks of and which it attributes to a
purely local cause, Is not confined to that
city, but exists In a scarcely less exaggerated
form throughout all the Northern States
In order to satisfactorily account for
such an enormous increase of crime
one must go much deeper into the
subject than the Herald has done. Merely
to assume that there always exists In society
class, who are by nature necessarily Grim
inal, and that the frequency and atrocity OF
crime bears an exact relation to the immunity
It derives from the acknowledgements OF the
laws fails entirely to touch the merits of the
question. In all large communities there is
always certain number of professional
criminals, but In normal state of society
their number - exceedingly limited they
come to be known at an early period In their
career, and are placed under constant
surveillance, which renders their op-
portunities for pursuing their calling
exceedingly small and precarious. But when
crime, SO atrocIous and SO devoid OF the usual
incentives and provoeations which control
professionals, prevails to the extent 1t now
does in the Northern communities, there are
other influences at work, and they are intia-

THE CITY ITEM.

Upon several occasions the editor Of the
Gstv Item has charged that "the DEMOCRAT,
of to-day, represents the bondholders. the
note-shavers, the bulls and bears Of Caron-

80 far as the intelligent citizens Of New Or

deserve; but for. the few readers in the coun-
