Tennessee DemocracY.

Gallatin Examiner.l
The Democracy of Tennessee is in
a ~deplorable condition. 1t is no
longer the solid compact party of the
old time. 1t is disjointed and its
mending up is very questionable. We
doubt whether it can be mended,
whether it would cohere. 1t is no.
longer in harmony with the National
Democracy. 1t is an outcast. This
condition of affairs has been wholly
brought about by the action of the
so.called low-taX party, led by Savage
Il Co., who, upon the strength Of the
vote of the last election, assume to be
the party. They have publicly de-
clared that they will rule. 1t is no
less certain that the State. credit men
OF Tennessee will not submit to be
thus misrepresented and degraded.
They will not vote for the nominee of
any convention that is not clearly for
the payment of the public debt in
amount satisfactory to the creditors.
The good name of Tennessee is already
besmirched, and they will never con
sent to degrade it any further.

1t has not been supposed heretofore
that the Presbyterians would refuse
burial to a man who had been a free
mason at the time of his death. But
an incident took place a few days ago
which must be taken as a straw which
shows that the wind blows in that d.

invited and had consented to oficiate
on the occasion, but when he learned
that the man was a member of

trustees, the legal c~ustodians Of the

its use. The family Of the deceased
Mason applied to the Norfolk street

doors were promptly opened, and with
the added assurance that they would
give the use of their house as readily
to Masons as to others. The funeral

1t will be well remembered, at the

of July last, at 3 pm, the excessive
heat of the day had prepared parboiled
humanity to welcome any change in
the atmospheric condition. An hour
brought on a change in the shape of a
terrible thunder storm, accompanied
by a well developed sample of western
toFnadoes. Many lives were lost
among tho shipping along the Massa-
ehusetts coast, and especially in Bos-
ton harbor. The damage to glass in
the city and vicinity was very heavy.
The next day after the storm, one firm

LIVERPOOL COTTON STATEMENT
For the week ending January Is,
1891.
General Trade.

There has been a break in the price
Of breadstufs in the Northern and
Eastern markets, and its influence is
felt here in a drop on the higher grades
of -four, and but for the fact that the
Southern demand runs chiefly on low
and medium all classes would show a
marked decline. 1t is said every
elevator and storehouse in Chicago is
full to its capacity of wheat, and the
surplus crop Of the country is largely
in excess of the 100000 bushels
shipped, or engaged FOR foreign
account. The decline in New York
during the first two days of the pres
ent week was 1Oc to zoe per Dbl. on
flour, and from J to &c per bushel on
corn, oats and wheat. The week closes
in our market without much ANNA
ton in trade. Corn, hay. oats and
farming implements are active, and
seed potatoes exhibit a speculative
demand, while eating varieties are a
drag. There is but little life in any
other branch of trale except in what
is termed order business from store.
The interior roads are beginning to
dry a little and people can get about
better than they could early in
the week. An active spring trade is
anticipated as the financial condition
of the people is good, and money
promises to be abundant. The rivers
of the West and South are all in good
navigable order and are likely to 70,
main so during the spring months.

PUBLIC LEDGER OFFICE,
pupUTs. TENN. Ian. II. 1870

Tinkering with the national cur
rency in congress exercised a disturb
ing influence in financial circles of
several Eastern cities during the past
week. The bill offered by the Hon.
Fernando Wood, to refund the 6 per
cents, which fall due within the pres
ent year, amounting to nearly $780,
100000, in 81 per cent. bonds, contains
a clause which provides for reducing
the treasury cash at the rate of
$1O,0O0,OOO per month by the
purchase of bonds, until less
than 500, 000,0 900 remains. Many
regard this as a frst-class initiation
measure and its ventilation contribu-
ted largely to increase speculative
feeling and investments in stocks dur
ing the past week in New York,
There lisa strong tone prevalent in
this market for all classes of local
stocks, but it is not from any fear
that there is going to be too much
money in the country. 1t is mainly
to satisfy a desire to invest surplus
money earned during the past winter
and which would otherwise be apt to
lie idle. The local financial situation
is steady, with a tendency toward in
creased ease. Exchange is moving
freely, and cotton bills on the East are
taken at the usual rates-8c off when
carrying no grace and !c of ifgrace is
asked. On New Orleans rates are lc
off buying and selling at par. Checks
on New York are also sold at par.

The startling appearance Of the sky
previous to the bursting Of the hail
burdened clouds warned travellers
and pedestrians to seek shelter.
Among the unfortunate ones caught
out in the storm was a Globe reporter,
who stepped into a doorway on Han
over street TO wait until the heaviest
OF the shower was over. He had COM
pany in that doorway. There were
two Chinese wash-ee-wash-ees from
Howard street, and several less que
rious looking individuals. Rain fell
in torrents, followed by great hail
stones which struck the sidewalk and
rebounded in the air. Rushing out in
the storm, the enthusiastic reporter
got several specimens, drew a tape
line from his pocket, carefully meas
ured them, and recorded the figures
in his memorandum book. Repeating
this operation several times, he at
tracted the attention of the clerks in
the office upstairs, who broke off
large chunks from the block in the
ice-cooler, and threw them out, when
the reporter measured them carefully.
as before, and recorded the result.
Everybody in the doorway was awe
stricken at the size of the hail -stones,
and the Cinnamon were exhibiting
eyes of unusual roundness and prom.
inence. One of the chaps overhead
accidently dropped the balance of the
block of ice (Which must have weigh
ed over thirty pounds from which
some m%onstrous hail-stones had been
Clipped, and it came down and landed
on the sidewalk with a crash, scatter
ing the rain-water right and left.
Just at this instant came that ter
rife crash of thunder that startled the
inhabitants for miles around, and Of
which the daily papers made mention
next day. This was too much for the
terror-stricken Cinnamon. They both
scooted up the street in the driving
storm, yelling, in a frantic manner, as
they cleared the doorway: "Whoop-

Northern Settlers in Tennessee,

New York Tribune,
The state Of Tennessee is fortunate
in possessing in its commissioner of
agriculture and and immigration Mr..
j. B. Killebrew, an official who throws
himself with much zeal and enthusi-
asm into the work Of presenting the
advantages of the state to the outside
world, aud Of persuading Northern
people to settle within its borders.
He has published a number of pam
phlets which describe the soil, pro-
auctions, climate and mineral re-
sources of Tennessee with a thorough
ness that shows careful Investigation
and a desire to avoid the fault Of over
statement so common in works de-
signed to stimulate immigration. In
his efforts to show that there is no
prejudice against Northern settlers,
however, we think he goes a little
further than the facts warrant. For
instance, in his pamphlet, speaking of
this matter be says:
"Thequestion is often asked through
letters and otherwise, how will the
people of Tennessee receive Northern
men and women ? As kindly as they
deserve. If they come to stir up
strife between the races, they will not,
and should not, be respected. If they
come to live by their wits, and, by
making false representations to the
government, to secure a fat Office,
they will not, as they should not, be
respected. If they come to preach
the u~nutterable turpitude and sin
fulness Of the former STAKEHOLDER,
and to set themselves up as examples
of virtue and unstained purity, they.
will not, and should not, be respected.
But, if they come with earnest hearts,
and willing hands, and cheerful
voices, to help build up the prosper
ity of the State, be their politics what
it may, be their religion what it will,
they will be received with all the
heartiness and all the c%ivility that is
possible for a gallant people to exer-
else. They will be welcomed with
open hands, and encouragement and
sympathy will be given them by every
intelligent man and woman in the
State"

Interesting Prize and Team Shooting-Ban
at the Athenaum In the Evening.
The third day of the annual festival of
the Schuetzenbund dawned far more aus
piciously than the preceding day. At an
early hour the members of the visiting, as
well as the home clubs, were on their way to
the grounds, and at 8 o'clock the shooting
commenced, and was kept up with scarcely
any intermission until late in the afternoon.
The attendance was much larger than on
Friday, and some idea of the number present
may be gathered from the fact that the res
taurant on the grounds served dinner to 372
persons. The Great Union band was in at
tendance, and at intervals disputed the
echoes of the surrounding hills with the
sharp and incessant crack of the rifles. The
members of the club attended strictly to
business, all intent upon making as good q
score as possible. During the forenoDn and
portion of the afternoon, the members en-
gagged in bulls eye shooting for the various
prizes offered by the ST. Paul Rifle club and
the citizens of st. Paul, which range from
bottle of perfumery to wolf robe, which
prizes will be distributed to- day to the for
tunate winners.
At P. NJ, the team shooting commenced,
the following being the members composing
the teams from the different clubs
La Crosse-Benj. OFT, John Stahl, E. La
gler, j. LAGER, j. Winzens. j. Teller.

The prize in this contest is gold star.
Each member of the team is entitled to three
shots, and the highest score carries off the
prize.
The only other prize, which is the greatest
of all, is for the honor of being the shooting
king, who will be crowned this afternoon
with all the honors.
To-day will finish up the festivities with q
grand pic mic, in which all the clubs and So
cieties will join. During the day the various
prizes will be presented with appropriate
ceremonies, speeches, etc.
