"when the Bloom was on the Rye"


Speaking of the stock market, says a
New York correspondent, did you
know that Joaquin Miller had recently
come out of the mill very finely ground?
Well, he has. A summer ago when
the bloom was on the rye and Joa-
quin's hair was flowing madly in the
breeze, he dropped into my office one
day to tell me he had at last struck the
ideal life. He was working Wall street.
smiled. joaquin pulled aroll of slips
from his pocket and showed me how
he was piling up the wealth. Igrinned.
Joaquin said that if Napoleon and
julius Caesar had been alive to-
day, they would have worked
the stock market instead of going to
war. l roared. Joaquin went away
mad. The other day l heard from him
again. His jubilation was no more,
his hair had been cut off, and his mon
ey had disappeared. Poor Joaquinl
Six weeks ago he hadn't $500 he could
call his own. When Rankin paid him
that sum as the final royalty on "The
Danites" it was every dollar of money
he had in the world. And all on ac.
count Of fooling with what he believed
would have been the implements Of
llatter-day Napoleons and Caesars.

Money In II.

The best investment is in that which
will maintain health. From letter of
Mr.. G. W. Eek, No. IL S. 5th St., st.
Louis, Mo-, it is learned that the clerk
of the Money-Order Dept. at the post
office in Alton, Ills, Mr.. J. B. Kuhn,
suffered for some time with indigestion
and all its accompanying evils,-a
headache, loss of appetite and despond-
ency, and was surely becoming a hy-
pochondriac. He commenced the use
of Hamburg Drops and is now well

1t is said that large proportion of boil

years Of service.

For the first time in many years
West Tennessee is more fully repre-
sented in public Offices than any other
section of the state. We have two
United States senator's, one to serve
two and the other six years the gov
eruor, treasurer and secretary Of state,
speaker of the house of representa-
tivcs, clerk of the state senate and
some minor offices. Whilst this is
matter Of satisfaction to the personal
friends Of these in position, it is of no
special benefit or advantage to one
section of the state more than another,
The official patronage at the disposal
of all these representatives Of West
Tennessee would not supply the de-
mands of a single county or a ward in
some cities. The ascendency of West
Tennessee for the first time in the
history of the state is not the result of
any preconcerted effort or plan, but
rather one Of the accidents of politics,
which may not occur again in cen
tury. Numerically and geographi-
cally we are at a disadvant-
age down in this end of the state.
This is looked upon as the Panhandle
Of the state very near akin to Arkan-
sas, if not practically on the west side
of the river, except for taxing pur-
poses. However, we do not complain,
aud have no cause to do so, but mere
ly place the microscope over an idea
which has, in times past more than
now, existed in some parts OF Middle
and East Tennessee. Any man ele-
waited to a high position in the state,
if fit for it, will feel that he is the ser
want of the whole state, and be as faith
full to the inhabitants of one section
as another. We are all Tennesseeans,
and in public affairs should know no
geographical divisions, no East, no
West and no Middle Tennessee. Men
should be chosen on account of their
worth and fitness to fill public posi-
tions, and not on account of the lines
of latitude and longitude by which
their place of residence is enclosed on
the map. A TennesSeean should be
Tennesseean and a patriot wherever
found.

"A Batch of interesting News.

Special to the Ledgerl
NASHVILLE, February 2.-The
most bitter feeling still exists among
the democrats, owing to the alleged
treachery of those who voted for re-
publicans. This feeling is intensified
bya charge made bya man named
Littleton that Plummer and Davis
were bribed, receiving $3.50. Davis
is low and Plummer high tax. Norris,
of your city, voted for Polk instead Of
Boyd.
The alleged ring is very much cut
down by their defeat. Speaker Nor
gan, who lead the break, is perfectly
satisfied with his action, and has no
apologies to make, He charges that
there was capital ring and that he
voted as he did to defeat it.
The morning hour was consumed in
personal explanations. Mr.. Davis de-
nounced tie charges against him and
asked for committee of investiga-
ton. Mr.. Plummer also denied them
A committee Of investigation was or
dered.
The joint judiciary committees ret
yesterday evening to hear the argu.
ments Of counsel on the Memphis debt
question, but owing to the ABSENCE o.,
Mr.. Randolph, they adjourned until
s o'clock this morning. The legisla-
ture takes a recess tomorrow for
eleven days.
The governor has ordered an elec
ton in Polk and Bradley counties on
the 18th inst. A petition in favor of
the local option law, signed by Chief
Justice Deadrick, Judge Key, Post
master General Maynard, General
Heiskell, three chancellors, five cir
cult judges, and other prominent gen
tlemen, was presented.
The senate passed on third reading
the bill forleiting the charters of

He is not discharged yet, but Of course
will be in few days. He may be sent
to lunatic asylum as a matter OF
form for time but as soon as the
public mind is directed to something
else the authorities will discov-.
er that he is quite restored,
and fit to return to the
ordinary walks of life where he may go
crazy again, if he has mind to kill
anybody else. What chance has a
peaceable, law-abiding citizen against
such a man? and what protection is
there for those who observe the law
against carrying concealed weapons?
1t is due to society that those who
obey the laws ofthe land should bepro-
tected against murderers and rufians
before, as we'll as after, they commit
murder and are pronounced insane by
jury. The insanity dodge is the last
resort of cowardly murderers, and
those who get the benefit Of it should,
at least, be locked up and kept at work
the rest of their lives.

ROW FOR BUs1NEsS,

Now that the elections in the legis-
lature are over, the disappointed Of
fceseekers have returned homeward
and the members are taking a little
rest, we may expect after the recess
some practical legislation. Except
the enactment of road law and some
local laws there is not much else
needed. There is some talk about
moving the penitentiary from Nash
vile, and this we shall heartily favor
at the proper time and for good
reasons why this nuisance and eye
sore should move out of the sight and
sound of the state capital and be recon-
structed altogether. The main ques-
ton, however, to be considered is the
state debt. The whole country expects
that something will be done,And if it
is within the bounds Of reason we look
for no serious opposition within the
legislature. IF the republicans and
the high credit democrats are sincere
in half they have said and professed,
they will certainly agree upon a basis
of settlement. They have an oppor-
tunity in an open field to distinguish
themselves, and a responsibility which
they cannot eyade. They cannot shift
it on the passive minority Of twenty
five or twenty seven low tax demo-
Gratis. Another thing: the people do
not care to hear Of prolonged discus
sions and long winded speeches. We
had enough and too much Of this last
fall. 1t would be almost impossible
to dig up any new facts Or present a
new phase to this worn out subject.
Young orators, who never read
or heard of it until the last year
or two may tackle the state debt with
a great deal Of iervor, but after they
have exhausted their vocabulary and
stock of picked up knowledge, they
will fod that they are but repeating
what others said long before them
This is practical question and big
one. 1t is more complicated and diff
cult to comprehend in all its bearings
and relations than the knotty problem
that engaged the attention Of the
commission at Geneva, when the best
minds of the age. finally awarded
this country $15,SOO,OOO damages
against Great Britain. The man who
has simply read few newspapers and
skinned over the subject to find facts
10 suit his preconceived views should
not make haste to air his lack Of
knowledge in tie halls of the legisla-
ture. III fact, the time for speech
making ana newspaper war is over.
Get down 10 work, gentlemen, and
show by Jour acts that you can Crap
! le this question in business like
way.
