the Cantor Lectures on Alcohol Of a
volume on the Diseases of Modern Life,
and more recently OF the Temperance
Lesson Book has done more, perhaps,
than any other man in Great Britain to
diffuse correct ideas regarding the Use
and abuse Of alcoholic stimulants. He
has helped to Lift one of the most inn
portant subjects in the entire range of
educational themes above the level of
sensationalism, aud to give it scientific
precision which has quenched the crit
icisms Of many opponents. and filled the
ranks of the temperance advocates with
recruits from all ranks of life, and
especially from the more thoughtful.
1t (the book treats in a purely scienti-

ner of the chemistry of alcohol, and its
physiological action on the human body.
On the conclusion Of the paper many
persons spoke in favor of the book, among
them President David II. Cochran, Of
the Polytechnic and Collegiate Institute
Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, the physi

The Avalanche says:
Unless it can be shown by ample proof
that the notes in controversy were issued
lin aid Of the rebellion a verdict that

Of course no such proof can be furnished.
Now, if the supreme court could
have had this opinion in time, what a

To the Avalanche has been reserved
the distinction of being the FIRST
journalistic tribunal to decide that
the people of Tennessee must take

as the new issue. The Avalanche

A change of climate is at all times
more or less dangerous. There are
elements in a new atmosphere which
are injurious, especially when the
system is exhausted by care and over
work, and which should be guarded
against. After careful observation
we have come to the conclusion that
Warmers safe kidney and liver cure is
the best preventive for atmospheric
evils and that it will restore health
and vigor sooner than any remedy
which has ever been discovered.

ness of his bargain. The next
day he wrote that his illness %cOntin-
ued and he must again postpone his
coming. And so it went on from day
to day, until the story reached Miss
Jennie's ears that her Ulysses was in
dustriously flirting with other women
down here. Then she drew upon her
sal volatile and wept, and said he did
not care for her and wanted to marry
her only for her money, and she vowed
he should never have a single silver
brick, not a scad, and she broke off
the engagement. The version of
young Grants friends is that the we'd
ding was the fancy of the old folks
and that they talked their children
into the engagement, while their own
in~clinations were not over ardent.
After obligingly and ilially plighting
faith they separated, Ulysses going
east and falling desperately in love
with another girl. After struggling
loyalty against this passion for months
without weakening its force-in fact,
fighting it out on that line all summer,
according to the family proverb-he
resolved to come here in the fall and
state the case fairly. This, they say,
was his sudden errand here, and he
performed his duty,
Which version is correct it is hard
to determine at present, society here
being very much divided upon the
question, and only certain of the one
momentous fact that the engagement
is off.

Wright for governor with zeal and
consumate ingenuity, 1t is one Of the
few papers on that side which treats
the low-tax party with courtesy and
discusses the issues fairly. We have
more to fear from one such opponent
than a dozen of the hector
ing class Of papers which de-
nounce everybody differing with
them and arrogate to themselves
the right to represent the brains,
wealth, decency and honesty Of the
state, The Banner will do to watch,
for it has a plausible sort of "now-let-
us-reason together style about it and
a sophistry on the state debt question.
which is well calculated to mislead
the people from the underlying
issues Of the canvass. 0thers,b their
blather and d~ictation, drive men into
the Wilson ranks every day. AS a
specimen Of the Banners specious
style in dealing with its correspOn-
dents and readers, the following will
answer:
Editors of the Banner: l could get
you a great many subscribers if your
paper would support Wilson for gov
ernor. Nearly all low tax in this part,
0BION.
Editors Of the Banner We like
the Banner because it tells the truth
in politics, and will ever admire your
candor and conservative views upon
the great questions before the people.
Put these figures on the wall Of your
Office for future reference. For Will
son-Houston, Cheatham, Dickson,
Hickman, Humphreys, Benton, Hen
ry and Stewart cOUnties-but don't
tell anybody, for there are forty-two
counties outside Of this d~ecalogue for
Wilson. HARRIS
There are some people yet unoon-
WINGED, but we ask them to still keep
on reading the Banner. We will give
you the truth in our news columns
and try to point out the right way to
save the state from radicalism. Our
appeal is to democrats "a lay aside
their 'low-tax" and state. credit" fac
ton prejudices. aud come on the plat
form Of the Banner. The good OLD
state of Tennessee must be saved from
the clutches OF a common enemy,
Now if the Banner is really in earn
est about saving the glorious old state
Of Tennessee from the clutches of a
common foe, and we know it is. let il
unite with the LEDGER in supporting
Wilson, who is the only man that can
beat Hawkins and keep the radicals
out of power. As it now stands,
Wilson will carry Middle and
West Tennessee. To East Ten
nessee where the press and the speak
ers are nearly all one way. Wright no
doubt has the majority Of the demo
cratic vote at present, but after the
1.-Two men have been heard by the peo-
pie, We are confident shat Wilson will
make great gains and at least carry
half of the democratic vote, if not
more in that section. In
several counties, both in
lower and upper East Tennessee vii
son already has a considerable follow
ing. In the Sixth senatorial district
the democrats have nominated such a
low tax man that the venerable Sam.
P. WINS, editor Of the Athens Post,
is said to be in a quandary whether to
support him or not. We look for
good news yet from east of the noun
tains. The Banner has good facilities
for gathering its news, and must know
that Wright stands no earthly chance
Of being elected, and that the race is
really between Wilson and Hawkins.
