banker and financier, and who was

knowing she was childless, replied:

The Nashville Americana

This faithful and unwavering advocate of
Democratic principles, views the result Of
the late National and State elections, as
only an additional incentive 10 every sim
cere lover of his country and its institu-
tions, to look more closely than ever, into
the administration of public affairs by the
peoples servants. 1t Will be the province of
The American to approve right and de-
nounce error as heretofore, and to give the
people such information as will lead them
TO correct conclusions. The facts IL viii give
will be without bias, upon which its read
ers can form their own opinions. Time and
the recurrence OF popular elections, show
that very large portion Of the voters of the
Union act from the impulse of the moment,
rather than from settled convictions in re-
gard to correct principles OF government.
Hence the greater necessity for the use of
public Journals to obtain Juster and more
settled views on governmental questions.
This, The American will endeavor with the
utmost pains, to supply.
The American will continue the well
known and highly appreciated extensive
and will strive to deserve what IL already
enjoys, the name OF being the best news

politics or location.

are in favor of reputation.
They may deny it. but with reason
able people, their denial will be in
vain. They are opposed to settling
the debt at any rate. They are OPP
posed to the 1908, were opposed to
5o-4, and would oppose 25-2 or any
thing else, except the absolute re-
pudiation of the debt, They do this,
not SO much for the reason that they
are opposed to the actual payment of
the debt, but because it affords them
q plausible pretext for agitation and
the displsy Of demagogism, the most
notable trait IN their character. And
if State>credit men ever expect to FL
lence these noisy demagogues by
compromising with them, they will
find themselves mistaken.
The Legislature passed a law last
winter providing for the settlement
of the debt. It is a reasonable and
a just law. There ought to have
been no oppos ton to its enforce
ment. There should be none now
and the men who keeps up the
agitation have not the interest of the
State at heart.

SHALL 1T BE UNSETTLED -?

The Nashville World, after turn
ing the question over in its mind for
few weeks, has at last reached the
conclusion that, for the good OF the
State and tine safety of the Demo
cratic party, the proposition for the
settlement OF the State debt at the
last Legislature sh' uld be abandoned,
and that settlement on the basis of
50-4 would be more satisfactory. By
what process of r, asoning our Nash
vile contemporary reaches this con-
clusion, we have no means of know
ing. If we are to judge by the
history of the past, the 50-4
proposition is not at all satisfactory.
Il was submitted to vote of the
people few years ago, as our read
ers will remember, and voted down
By an overwhelming majority. And
the same men who oppose the 1908
law, are the men who actively OPP
posed the 5o-4 proposition. If any
thing has occurred since that cleo
ton to change the minds of the
people or Of the bondholders, we
would thank the editor of the World
to let us know what it is.
