What Shall be Done?

He who has observed closely the signs
of the times, cannot fail to see that the
contest between virtue and vice grows
more fierce, and the lines are more
rigidly drawn in proportion to the
rapid spread and advancement of chris
tian civilization. Free inquiry is max
ing more decisive warfare upon an
cient errors and time-honored truths,
and the lines of antagonism are more
closely drawn in the court and camp,
in the forum and the market. These
are the results of rapidly spreading
christian civilization, an unusual ad-
vancement in physical sciences, and
the power of the press, as the power
of an uprisen sun, flinging instantane-
GUS rays of light across a hemisphere.
The effect of all these things is
plainly visible in the church, in the
State and in the social circle. While
christianity is better understood and
more highly appreciated, crime is more
scientific and more respectable than
formerly, Criminals avail themselves
of the garb of piety, as well as the
best improved methods of science and
the power of the press to further their
nefarious designs and cover their mi
quily.
AS an example of the intensity of
crime we have only t6refer to the MUIR
der of Laprade near Springfield, in
Robertson county. Here nine colored
men, recognized as citizens and voters,
conspire with calmness and deliberation
to murder a peaceable and unoffending
citizen for his money. They set their
sentinels and place their guards; they
enter his house and seize him and sub
ject him to every species of torture
that human ingenuity could invent.
There is not a parallel to their cruelty
in the stories OF savage barbarity en-
acted by the red men of the forest.
This is a sample of our lower grades of
civilization; any city daily newspaper
will furnish an example of our higher
civilization.
This state Of society requires the
ripest experience and most profound
wisdom in our legislators. 1t calls, as
in days of yOre, for our wisest and best
men for lawgivers, The remedy is not
in vengeance, which does not belong to
man, but in severity and certainty of
punishment adequate to his crime,
withda certainty that knows no doubt,
and dispatch that admits no delay.

Seven Reasons Against the COu-
pom Feature.

We are opposed to making the cou-
pons receivable for taxes in any settle
ment that may be made for the follow
ing reasons:
l. The Democratic party in both its
conventions last Summer pledged itself
against it. On this pledge the party
carried the State by large majority
of the popular vote. To depart now
from this pledge is to betray the people
who endorsed that party.
2. 1t is an unjust measure, because it
discriminates in favor of spectators as
creditors against the bona Jide creditors.
That is, it gives the bondholder surity
for his debt by rendering the other
creditors that much less sure of getting
their dues. We hold that Gov. Haw-
kins and other officers of the State who
are at work for its prosperity, have as
much right to their salaries as the
bondholder has to the gains of his spec.
ulations. If the State can't pay both
fully, pay them equally.
3. 1t supersedes every tax collector
in the State with a coupon peddler, who
collects taxes, not in the name of the
State, but for his master, the bond
holder, and leaves the State to starve.
4. 1t surrenders the sovereignty of
the State indirectly to the spectators
to be dragged into court at their mercy
and for their profit.
5. 1t proposes extraordinary metods
of payment, and methods that are con.
tray to the usual way of paying debts,
without showing any reason for this ex.
traordinary mode except the benefit Of
part of the creditors. There is but
one State in the Union that has sub.
mitted to it, and that is Virginia,
whose sad condition under Malone is q
warning against it.
6. The bondholders did not ask il
of Minnesota, and Tennessee is entitled
to more respect than Minnesota.
7. Lastly, the creditor has no right
to ask it. He bought his bonds on the
faith of the State alone, and has nc
right to ask any additional security. Il
he made bad speculation it is his own
fault and may be profitable as lessor
to him hereafter
The State and the creditor both con
tracted on the faith of the State. ANY
legislation to change the basis Of
the credit imLairs the contract, anC
is not only illegal, but positively
unjust. The measure makes preferred
creditors out of the bondholders, is i'm
polite, unwise and unjust.

Legislative.

Since our last report, the following
bills have become laws:
To prohibit sale of liquors to minors.
To repeal the charter of Smyrna,
To change the time of circuit court of
Coffee county, to the first Tuesdays
after the first Mondays in January,
May and September.
To enable railroad companies to build
and purchase roads out Of the State.
A bill has passed the House not to
allow young men to marry under q

written authority from parents.
Gov. Hawkins recommends the 100
8 proposition for settling the debt, and
a vote on it will be taken Tuesday.

Garfield'S Greatest Act.

Moral courage makes the hero. Gar
field has done many things for which
people call him great. His strict at
tendance as a worshiper and member
of the church is one. HIS invocation
of the support and blessings of God
upon the whole country in the closing
words of his inaugural, is as unusual
as it is prominently cOmmendable.
But that which makes him greatest in
our estimation is the profound respect
which he showed his mother through
out the Inauguration ceremonies. There
is hope of a man as long as he respects
his mother.

The Reasons for Our Faith.

We heave ever been in favor of an
honest settlement of our State debt.
AT the same time, we have ever re-
garded its settlement as a proper sub.
ject Of compromise, for the simple rea-
son that it is debt contracted by our
predecessors under very different aus
picies from those that surround us, and
precipitated upon us by great nation
al calamity-the late war-which was
brought on by no fault of ours. The
debt, however, was legally made, and
is legal one with equities both for us
and against US, and hence is properly a
subject of fair and equitable compro-
mise. To repudiate it is wrong, and
to be required to pay it all is wrong ;
between these two there is just medi.
UNI that is right-and let this be done
though the heavens fall
We are opposed to every feature in
the late offer of the bondholders to
compromise at 1908 because they are
every one unjust, as we will show.
The debt, including interest to July,
1881, at 100 cents is $27, 100000; in.
terest at 8 per cent. is $4,000 annu.
ally for SO years. At the end of that
time we will have paid on the debt
over eighty millions and still owe every
cent of the twenty-seven millions.
That is, we will have paid it three
times and still owe it every cent. Il
requires tax of 49, cents on the S10(
to carry this settlement, and pay cur
rent expenses, to say nothing of sink
ing fund. Our people will not agre,
to pay any higher tax than this, anC
hence will never have any sinking
fund. So the debt will be fxtur,
for SO years, constant paying withou
any dimunition.
Now if we could pay this 49, cent
tax, would it not be infinitely better t
pay it on the 5O-4 proposition whic1
will CANCEL the debt, principal and in
terest both, in 80 years and save g.
millions of dollars in the way of in
terest? So we think, and soswe shal
act.

A Talk About History.

The first requisite of good history
is that it be true. Whatever else may
be said of it, if this be lacking, it is
unfit for the school room.
The histories of the United States
written since the late civil war, should
be severely put to this test, since the
temptation for indulging in sectional
feelings and animosities arising out of
the issues of that war is so great.
AS that war forms an important chap
ter in our history, the present and flu
ture generations demand a truthful ac-
count of its origin, progress and results.
Many text books on this subject, pub
lished only to make money, not only
fail to rise to the dignity of true histo
ry,but pander to sectional pride and ami
mostly at the expense of truth, and
are little else than political publications
to effect party purposes Against all
such we warn parents not to let them
be placed in the hands of their chill
dren in their school days, for an error
once fastened upon the minds of youth
is there for generation at least. The
error is equally fatal whether it come
from the one section or the other.
Buffers Pictorial History of the
United States is free from the above
fault, and is truly national in its char
acter and accurate in its statements.
AS such it was cordially endorsed by
the late lamented Chief Justice A. o.
P. Nicholson, of Tennessee.
The book is peculiarly adapted to
common schools and academies, as well
as institutions of higher grades, and is
beautifully and appropriately illustra.
ted. 1t divides the whole subject into
ten periods, and devotes to each the
amout of space which its Importance
requires. This arrangement in the
hands of Il skillful teacher enables him
to outline the whole history in ten les
sons, which can be filled out with the
details during the school term. L
closes with the Declaration of indie
pendence, the Articles of Confedera
ton, the Federal Constitution, with al
its amendments, a Historical and Stats
teal Table, and Chronological Tabl,

John V. Wright, the gallant leader
of the Democracy, who saved the party
from utter defeat on this debt question,
says: "The proposition to make the

A Fair Compromise.

If the creditors continue to demand
figures and refuse to settle
fairly, we hope the Legislature will
pass bill into a law, reciting all the
grounds of equities and compromise,
and offering 5O-4 as the terms,
leaving it optionary with the creditors
to accept or reject.

We are for State credit Democracy,
but are for State sovereignty Democ-
racy as well. The coupon tax feature
indirectly surrenders it by leading
the State, through her agents, into the
courts to be sued, and placed at the
mercy of a set of unjustly preferred
creditors, who bought their bonds on
the credit of the State as speculation
and now demand other security.
