The TRAINERS Of the Constitution
thought they were wise in giving to
the national government the power
to elect throughout the States off,
GERS who would be in sympathy with
the policy Of the Administration
charged with the enforcement Of the
national laws. They therefore care
fully provided that the machinery
of the national government should
be in the hands of officers chosen by
the President and the Senate. But
a little, but very wise man in Knox
vile, has suddenly discovered that
the great and good men who formed
our Washington, JEFF
ferson, Adams, Franklin, and their
associates, knew but little. He has
announced new departure" and
says, in his usual 'pompous style,
that the whole nation is now
scrambling to fall into line and fol>
low him. That 'new departure is
to strip the general government Of
all power to choose its own officers
and give that power over to the
caucus and ward politicians. In
other words, when the people of the
United States by an election have
said they want Republican Presi,
dent and Congress and officers
throughout the sohole country in
sympathy with that administration
and in favor of tariff laws, homes
money, free ballot and free speech
Gibson favors giving to the bourbon
Democrats of the South the power
to nullify and defeat the will Of th'
people of the Nation by concedine
to them the right and power tt
choose in their States all the United
States judges and other officers
thereby enabling a minority O
States to defeat the will of tn,

to secure men in charge of tn,

The Memphis newspapers ought
to be satisfied with the reputation
of the debt of their own city, and
not seek to involve the whole State
in the same disreputable business.
We have always sympathized with
the people of that tax-ridden city,
and would be glad of any relief the
taxpayers may obtain. The city
tax there is now at least four times
as large as the tax that will be re-
CURED to sustain the good faith,
honor and credit of Tennessee, and
yet the Memphis newspapers are
trying their best to bulldoze the
legislature into rejection of the
bill now pending in the senate
which hna--i--aJ rv"Dvu the mousse.
All the people of the taxing dis

A Diamond Ring I'm a

lRichmond ~. Register J

"A wealthy physician OF Muir
freasboro', Tenn, bought 81 800
diamond ring for his daughter.
About three years since, while
riding out, the ring was lost. 1t
was advertised and liberal rewards
offered for its discovery, but moth
ing was ever heard Of it. A few
weeks ago child of a blacksmith
was taken sick, and the physician
referred to called to see it. While
ut the bedside he had occasion
60 mention his daughters name.
At this the child's mother took
from her finger ring, handed it
10 the physician and asked him
If his daughter had recently
lost a ring, for the ring contained
the name be had just pronounced.
The physician said she had not,
bu. some years ago she lost dia-
mond ring, and as his eyes fell up
on the sparkling object he recog-
nized his daughters long-lost trea-
sure The lady said her husband
had found it in the bottom of q
horses foot only q few days be-
fore that, while cleaning out the
Aoof for the purpose of shoeing
him. Oae small diamond Was

A statistican Of Of the Agricul :
ture Department Is of the opinion
that the number of hogs and sheep
in this country is a great deal
heavier than was estsmated. The
number Of hogs last year was 3d.
600, 900 Hogs slaughtered at
packing houses and by farmers
during the year ending March LIST,
last, was not less than 30,000,-
900. The census report, which is
anxiously looked for, will un-
dOubtedly increas the estimate.
The number of sheep was estima-
ted at 10000, 900, while the wool
clip amounted 10 $50, 900, 900 lbs.
The country is evidently richer in
pork and mutton than our statisti-
cans have estimated.

The Circus.

The editor of the Marshall Ia.)
Statesman says that after consider
ing the question all winter, he
comes to the conclusion every
spring that TIE circus is Immoral.
But when the bin poster comes
along with the big pictures, he
veakens, and he changes his mind
rs follows:
"As we gaze at the lions. tigers
and monkeys and think that ma
ture made them all, we are not
aure that they are immoral. And
when we look at the beautiful
young lady, with nothing on but
n blue ribbon around her waist,
with one leg pointing TO 5 O'Clock
and the other to high noon, and
remember that nature made her
too, just as she il, except the blue
ribbon, we begin to lean up to the
circus. But when the brass bands
begin TO play and the elephants go
round. we rush in for front seat
to get ahead of the ministers, who
go 10 sec the animals, and who al
ways wear stove-pipe hats and
wont sit down in front.

Saved by a Water Buffalo.

The water buffalo is an animal
much in use in Singapore for pur-
pose Of draught. 1t is dull,
heavy looking animal, slow at
work and disgusting in appear
ance, but remarkable for sagacity
and attachment to its native keep
ers. 1t has, however, a particular
antlpathy to European, and will
Immediately detect him in a
crowd. Its dislike to and courage
in attacking a tiger is we'll known
all over India. Not long ago, as
q Malayan boy, who was employ
ed by his parents in herdiug water
suffalos, was driving his charge by
the borders of the jungle, a tiger
made a sudden spring and seized
the lad by the thigh, and was
dragging him off, when the two
old buffalos, hearing the shrek of
distress from the well-known voice
of their little attendant, turned
around and charged with their
usual rapidity. The tiger, thus
closely pressed, was obliged to
drop his prey to defend himself.
While one buffalo successfully
drove away the tiger the other
kept guard over the boy. Later
in the evening, when the anxious
father, alarmed, came out with at
PENDANTS to seek his child, he found
that the whole herd with the ex-
ception of the two old buffalos
had dispersed themselves to feed,
but that they were still there
one standing over the bleeding
body of their little friend, while
the other kept watch on the edge
of the jungle for the return of the
tiger.
