WHAT the Delaware peach crop might be
in any season when the crop il not DESTROYED
by March OF April frosti, ia something to
battle all computation OF conjecture, Here
comes the report OF the crop OF this year
| which shows that nearly two millions OF
basEets-considersbl more than a million OF
bushels-were sent to market from the crop
that WAS destroyed last spring, II this kind
of destruction keeps on Delaware will have to
| be enlarged or it will not have room for the
baskets. Philadelphia Ledger.
For the benefit of any who may not
understand We wish to Say thst The above
It ID safe to SAY yot thai last seaaon'i o,up
| fell no low M two millions OF baskets, II
1t did It Is worse than Wa Thought aud
uudtr our own estimates which
have generally been proven accu-
rate. We oanuut say absolutely what full
crop from all the trees now
of bearing age on the peninsula
would amount to, but We doubt not that
any one familiar at all with the subject
will agree that We are within the mark
when We say it would reach eight or nine
millions of baskets and hence that the
destruction which always takes place, 10 a
greater or less extent, would have to be
very great 10 bring the aggregate down to
less than two millions.
We gave up long ago any expectation
that Northern newspapers in general
would ever be able to widen their area of
vision to accurately comprehend even
so little matter rs the character and
extent of the Delaware peach crop; but
the Ledger is near enough to us to know
better than most papers, and it ought to
know that two millions of baskets
would be short crop, indeed.
OF course with crop so delicate rs
this, and SO liable TO injury there is
always more or less groundess alarm and
frightened statement AZ to injury, but the
; facts are usually printed without tx
aggeration, and the only reason why they
create misappre hension is the habit OF
northern journalists of Dramatically dis
eussing things they know nothing about.

of peaches in Delaware, and every
year some portion of the peacE
region has its crop almost utterly
/ destroyed, as WAS the case during the pas
season. The Middletown region which
sent probably the largest number o.
! baskets to market last summer did no

But, II may bu asked, in the 20 yeErs Of
government by minority, has no attempt
been made IN remedy the anomalous state
Of affair Yes, repeatedly, ~ amending
the constitution, aud ia vain the last
trial was in 1876 when II ISiiGrity o: the
nearly ~ 600 electors who voted or tie
matter did express n wish 10 abolish the
| property lualiiicalion so far as it ~
' applied to hOidIsrs and sailors 1T foreign
birth whO bed served 10 Rhode I.knd
regiments during the civil var. But our
consultation contains the provision that
three-htth4 OF these who vote must
approve proposed amendment, in order
that it may become part Uf the organic
law, When to this difficulty ia added the
necessity which exists that any desired
change must be approved before submis
sion TO the people by ma iOrity of all the
members elected to each house in two
succts sive legislatures, il will readily be
seen that our prospect of relief by this
method is very faint, And, as historical
fact, any more radical measure of relief,
such as the abolition of the registry tax or
the substitution of an educational for the
property qualification, has always failed
to receive majority of the votes, much
less the three ffths requisite.
Since amendments TO the existing con-
stitutiou cannot be procured, the only
available remedy lies in the formation of
new one. Very properly, the constitu.
| ton of Rhode Island provides no means
by which constitutional convention can
be called. But no one | presume, will
say that, consequently, for all future time
this State is debarred from framing
another constitution. The right is
Inherent and indefsRsitle. The only
question open is as to tue mode.
Naturally, because the machinery is in its
hands, the existing government is the
instrument through which an invitation
should be extended for the people to elect
delegates to convention. The first step,
then, toward obtaining government by
the majority is a petition to the General
Assembly to issue a call for constitu-
tional convention, seconded by an
organized agitation which shall leave no
room for the minority to misunderstood
the wishes and determination of the
people.

THE LEGISLATIVE TICKET

The magnitude of republican in
terests represented with to, days
election of members of the legisla~
ture can not be oyerestimated. Re-
ports from all over the state show
that if republicans will hold the bal
ance Of power in the next general
assembly they will be courted and
favored as they have never been be-
fore. Their support is very nece :
sary and most substantial benefits
will be received in return 60. #.
The state is to be redistricted. With
three~sevenths of the vote in the
state we are entitled to more than
one~ffth of the representation IL
congress and we will get it. We
are entitled to a larger repreSen>
tation in the legislature and we will
get it. Our members will say who
shall be United States senator and
IN return for this some of the state
officers must be given US. That
done, and our word for it, startling
corruption will DO discovered in the
management of state affairs, for the
last ten years will be discovered,
which will be of great value to US
as party, and as citizens of Ten
nessee.
In view Of all these things it be
hooves every republican in East
Tennessee to work hard for their
legislative tickets. Il is not the
candidates who are running that are
to be chosen between. Mere men
arc lost sight of in the greatness Of
the interests involved. Republicans
of Knox county, with your 500 MAJ
jority, let it not be said that, faith>
ful to your party in her hours Of
ease, you desert her in the moments
of need. Turn out and elect Hud-
dleston, Reeder and McLemore.
You can and we believe you will
do it.

THE SECOND DISTRICT.

Ever since Tom. Williams open,
ing speech in this canvass it has
been evident that the raae was a
Walk>oVer, and, consequently, but
comparatively little interest has
been taken in it. Castor>oil Tom
is no antagonist for Judge Houk
and the thousand and one false po-
sitions he has placed him in and
Disguised even his own followers
and he will not receive his party
vote. His free>trade theories
have alienated the workingmen from
him and his violent attacks upon
the Irish and negroes have lost him
their votes. Judge Hsuk's majori-
ty will be counted out, we hope, in
time for him to take his seat in the
next house, but extra clerical force
may be required. To the meantime
we will place it at 5000. These
figures, Of course, being subject to
addition.

IF such weakness by the Memphie

Of such weakness by the Memphis
Appeal fully satisfies US that he is
defeated already. The desperate
efforts to whip in the Wilson men
have failed of the desired effect and
he will poll enough strength to de-
feat the regular nominee. Hawkins
will get at least 10000 and We
really believe 100000. Wilson
will get $4,000 and Wright will re~
ceigo about $4,000 or $4,000 votes.
Edwards viii not have more than
10000, or less for that matter. Let
East Tennessee republicans remem-
Der this and let to>day's work send
Judge Hawkins across the noun
tains with a majority such as has
never been received by any man.

HE FIRST DISTRICT.

The canvass in the first district.
which closes to-day, will be long
remembered. On both sides it las
been conducted with all the energy
possible. On both sides things have
been said and done which would
have been we'll unsaid and undone.
But it could not be we'll otherwise.
The desperate efforts to elect Bob.
lay lor, man of small brain and
culture and fairness, have partaken
so largely of the desperate that
they had to be fought with their
own weapons.
Of tie result of this canvass, two
weeks ago, We were fearful. Had
the election occurred then We ben
lieve Taylor would have been cleo
ed, but now we haven't the slightest
idea of such an end to it. Since
the October elections new hopes
were put into the republican canvass
and they have borne abundant
harvest OF. good. Republicans who
were wavering became firm and
wholesale desertions were made
from the Taylor ranks. The fact
that the election in the first district
had changed from one of purely
local interest to one of national i'm,

NEW YORK.


The result Of the general election
largely depends upon New York
and Garfield will carry it. He can
do without it on pinch, but the
ninch won't come. Closest aud
most reliable observers place Hans
cock majority south of the Harlem
river at about $4,000, and Conkling.
Arthur, SmaIlry AID other first
class prophets say Garfield will
strike that with minority of from
$4,000 to 100000. We have much
faith in these predictions.

THE END.

To-day the decisive struggle will
be made. To. day decides whether
the "solid south, small segment OF
the north" shall control the desti-
MES Of this country for the next
four years, or whether it shall con-
tinue under the control of the party
that gave it its unequalled prosper
ity. To-day decides whether the
first and second congressional dis
tricts of Tennessee shall be repre-
sented by tools of bourbon democra
cy or members of the freedom pre-
serving, progressive republican par
ty. To-day decides whether the
state of Tennessee shall be govern
ed by repudiator or a half-repu~
dlator, or whether Judge Hawkins
shall raise up state honor and state
pride from the cess pool where it
now lies entombed, To-day decides
whether the republican majorities in
East Tennessee shall BE- represented
by democrats or republicans. The
stakes at issue are great aud de-
serve the earnest support of every
republican. They should not only
go to the polls themselves and vote.
but they should spare one day from
their vacations to work for their
country and their party.

sEYMoUR's VIEWS.

Here are the views of Horatio SeY-
mour OH the political outlook:
"In looking over the political field,
it is evident that on the republican
side there are sharp controversies and
much bitterness. The republicans are
in far worse way than the demo-
Gratis, so far as feuds are concerned.
1t is true that the division. of the
ranks of the latter are more open and
conspicuous, but they have reached
a point where they admit Of healing
remedies. Hatreds and jealousles in
the ranks of political organizations
are like erysipelas in the human sys-a
tem-half cured when brought to the
surface. Concealed hate aud feverish
jealousy poison the blood of the re.
publican organization. The party.
has no remedy for this state of things.
Its disease is internal and therefore
dangerous, perhaps deadly. If il
could be brought to the surface it
ing inwardly and with very bad
symptoms. The poison has permeat-
ed the whole system, and there is no
sage 30 skillful as to be able to pre-
| scribe successfully for hidden dis
| GeIUpeT. Ou luc OGucE lduu, ,GucT0 10 Ouo
great advantage which the democra-
tic party possesses. 1t always comes
up smiling after defeat. Its vitality
is wonderful. 1t has outlived dozen
opposing organizations, and 1t has
held to its ancient creeds, while
others have caught at every excite
ment or novelty brought to the sur
face. In the country especially the
democracy have made their adherence
to sound party principle matter az
personal as their religion, though in
different way. IL is matter on
which they have permitted them-
selves to become enthusiastic. YOU
cannot change them. The hard-fisted
democracy cling to their faith undel
defeats and trials, and are withal i'm.
bued with sentimental feelings never
seen in the conglomerate ranks OF
their opponents. The republican,
fall to pieces unless they can be KEEP
at welding heat by passion and ex
citment. If these eau not be KEEP
upagsinst their opponents they breaI
out i'll their own ranks. Under thes,
circumstances there is every reason
to hope for the success of the demo
cratic ticket in the coming presiden
| tial election.

of Massachusetts,. This, at least, was
the idea conveyed. None of these
various ismS except the last named,
care for churches or attendance on
churches. That is not in their line
of business. We should not, there
fore, be surprised at the state of
things described by Mr.. Prime. The
evangelism must be considerably
diluted when the New England
Methodist, a PAPER recently started
in Boston, contends, as we have been
informed, that the ten commandments
are no longer in force that they
were part of the Mosaic economy, all
of which, including the decaiogue,
has been superseded by the gospel.
So it goes.
However, we think it likely that
| attendance at church is u little bet
ter now than when Mr.. Prime visit
ed New England and wrote what is
copied above. There is now much
political excitement there because of
the affair in Maine. The preachers
are reported as very Jealous and
earnest in their fulminations against
the governor of that state, and it is
fair TO suppose that partisans atteno
the preaching that each may receive
his portion in due season. Start some
exciting question of political char
acter, and the attendance at church is
good. 1t was SO in 1925, when the
New England preachers so violently
opposed the war with England and
sided with the Hartford convention
lists. So when Texas was about to
be admitted into the union and Mas.
sachusetts threatened to secede from
the union. So all through the aboli.
tion excitement, and so all the time

!, land religion is its deep concern fol

subject of expediting action on the ap-
preparation bills, and to consider the
course to be taken on several of them,
which were the subject of party discus
sion during the last two sessions. No
definite conclusion was reached, but the
prevailing wish seemed to be that, so
far as disputed questions as to marshals
wero concerned, the bills should read
as before, viz: that none of the money
appropriated should be used for the
payment of marshals for the perform
ance OF duties at elections. The first ol
