by the time the new line gets into successful

An Independent Editor.

DR.. K. L. &. White, of the Leba-
non Herald, says:
Three several times, Monday, was
the editor of this paper warned, in
more or less Incorporate language, by
personal friends of the low tax per-
suasion, that his business interests
would suffer materially if the Herald
persisted in its present course. Dear
friends: What do you take us for !?
You ought to know by this time, if
you don t, that the course of this pa
per is dictated by principle, not by
policy; that the Herald establishment
is absolute and unincumbered proper
ty of its sole proprietor, who has, does,
and will control it to suit himself
without interference or dictation from
any man or men; and that he don't
care the value of a repudiased Tennes-
see bOGd whether anybody takes the
Herald or not. Put that in your
pipe and smoke it.

Stop this scientific business where
it is, and don't let it go any further.
1t is robbiDg life of all that is worth
living for. Only a short time ago
one Of these scientific joskins analyzed
a tear that had trickled down the
cheek of Il lady who wanted a new
dress, and he found it to contain phos>
phate of lime, chloride of sodium and
water. Ever since reading that anal
ysis we have lost faith in tears, and
no matter what a person is believing
about, we can only look at the tears
as they flow over beauty's cheek and
think of the phosphate of lime, chlo-
ride of sodium and water. The in
fernal analysis has knocked all the
poetry out of tears for US, and We feel
as though we wanted our money back.
If the scientist will refund what he
has taken from US he can have his old
analysis. We would like to throw
him in a corner and jump on him. He
has robbed us. Oh, give US back
them other days, wheI tears was tears
and not chloride of sodium and other
nausesting drugs.

The Nashville American in speak,
ing of noble statesmen pays jus:
tribute to two of our great Men,
Thurman and Bayari:
"There is no suhlirner spectacle iu
all the history of this country than
that of these two political heroes,
SEQ. ming the tricks of the politician
and standing above partisan machines
ry on the highest plane of statesman
ship, defying victorious and insolent
majority and compelling every infer
nal measure to pass under the scruti-
ny OF discussion and t. come out
into the light Of day for the public to
see the iniquity. They have, unaid-
ed, sifted every measure and exposed
every fallucy and, where they could
accomplish nothing directly, they
wrought something for the future,
kept them at bay and delayed their
designs until the public could know,
and sometimes thwart them. But
for them this government would have
been subverted. 1t may he that
their reward will be postponed until
history places them on a pedestal for
the admiration of the world; it may
lie that little jealousies will obscure
their great merits, but the Southern
people ough, never to have an un-
greatful hand in such injustice. His
tory will record that Thurman and
Bayard were the chief instrumental
ties by which the South was redeem
ed and Republican liberty preserved.
While they were engaged in this task
without sighting Mr.. Tilden's real
service in New York, it must lie ad-
mitted that he was never heard Of
until the hour of Democratic victory
had come. While they bore the heat
and burden of the day he was un-
nnown in the national conflict for
sound government and unheard of
until local controversy gave him
local prominence.

Touching a Tender Spot.

WASHINGTON, May 11-When the
executive and legislative appropria-
ton bill was under consideration to-
day, Mr.. Whitthorne, of Tennessee,
attempted to hav ethe salaries Of Sena-
tors and Representatives reduced to
$3.50 month, with pay only during
the seasons. 1t WIS voted down with
a tremendous "No." The present pay
amounts to about 81, 900 Il month
during actual sessions, Afterwards
Mr.. McMillin Of Tennessee, offered
an amendant reducing the salaries Of
Representatives to $4,000, but there
was an exceedingly faint response in
the affirmative.

ers are gloomily predicting mot more
than a fourth of a crop" The wheat
really looks badly and is anything but
encouraging. The peach crop was
badly damaged by the April frosts,
and there will not be an abundant
WELD of that fruit.
DeKal6.-The prospect for large
wheat crop looks discourageiLg at this
time. A few days ago the rust made
its appearance and is spreading so
rapidly that it is very doubtful if the
farmers reap as much as they have
sown.
Hlmphries and Benton.-The wheat
crop in Humphreys, as far as infor-
nation has been obtained, is very
promising, and the yield, with little
exception, will be above an average.

The nomination of Mr.. 'Tilden for
president and its consequences are
thus fOrcibly portrayed by the Spring
field (Mass.) Republican, an inde-
pendent paper Ofinfuence and talent,
second to none in the country:
''Tilden as a candidate would be as
dangerous to his own party as Giant
would be to the Republican party and
more so. Tilden is the only Demo-
cratic nominee who would put Grants
election within the line Of political
possibility; nothing else can. The
nomination of Tilden would make the
open support of the Democratic ticket
by thoughtful Republicans practically
impossible. All Tilden's signal abili-
ty as Il political leader would avail
nothing against the blighting fact that
under his candidacy the Democratic
party could Fmake no converts and
would receive no re-inforcements.
The moral party and every doubtful
State in the North would pass over to
the Republican column. The dele
gates to the Cincinnati Convention in
this State appear to he alive to this
fact, and in a series of interviews in
the New York World pronounce for
Bayar'l. If the Democrats of Massa>
chusetts want to lead the right Of the
party column, instead of struggling at
the rear, they have only to make it
plain to the South that Democrats in
debatahle States at the north demand
not Tilden, but some candidate Of the
first order like Bayard. This year, as
four years ago, the South wants the
man the North wants, and Democrats
in this State are making but a poor
preparation for a national canvass
which may carry Massachusetts over
among the doubtful States in idly
waiting for TiIden's campaign to be
completed instead of striking the key
note of the Democratic canvass by
putting Bayard forward, when the
Chicago Convention is balancing be-
tween two e"ils in Grant ana Blaine.
