The returns at the Census Office
at Washington show that the total
number of daily journals published
during the census year just passed
is 962, which INCLUDES 80 which
were suspended and ia which
were established in the course of
that year. OF these 962 journals,
the aggregate daily circulation is
placed at 1851 ,1s7, and the aggre-
gate annual circulation at ] ,127 1887,
$50. AT an average price per an
mum of 81 ,33, it appears from this
estimate that the people of the
United States pay out annually the
sum of $26, ,200, 100 for their daily
newspapers. When it is taken into
consideration what miserable speci-
mems of journalism some of these
newspapers are, this is rather
gloomy showing. But the Ameri-
can people are the most inveterate
of all newspaper readers. The dali
ly newspaper is looked upon as an
absolute necessity by all classes,
from the blacksmith at his forge to
the banker in his office, and each is
as hungry for it as the other. In
the matter OF publication New
York state comes first, with a list of
l15 dailies. Intellectual Massachu-
sets can boast of only 35, being
surpassed by Pennsylvania with 50,
Illinois 73, Ohio and California each
81, Missouri 42, and Indiana 40.
This does not look very well for the
intelligence of the old centre of the
cOUntry's culture, for the newspa-
per is the great instructor of the
people. 1t may be, however. that
Massachusetts has been "cultured"
up to such a high pitch already
that her people have attained to
that stage of s'too much awfillIy
too" which Postlethwaite and Maui
die have made the rage in England
and which threatens to extend to
this country 1t is stage of which
the newspaper does not extend, and
it is to be hoped that Massachusetts
will not be the first State of the
Union to substitute English gush
for Yankee gumption.

rhe Truth Apont the pes..
Nnshvlllle Amerlcan.

Whilst / am not in favor Of keep
ing up an agitation or excitement
in regard to the State-debt settle
ment, yet / believe it to be impOr-
tant that the facts in regard to it
should be fairly laid before the peo-
pie, in order that they may fully
it.
1st-It should be understood that
what are called low tax men, by
defeating the SOC settlement in
1877, the 50-4 settlement in 1879, by
dividing the Democratic patty in
1880. and by refusing III the last
Legislature to agree upon reasona-
BILE terms OF settlement and by re-
pudiating nine-tenths of the entire
debit say it should be under
stood that, by doing all these
things, they became responsible for
the 1908 settlement.
2nd-It should be understood
that, in order to pay the interest
upon the debt; it viii only require
q tax of four cents per acre on land
assessed at twenty dollars, which is
often worth forty.
3,l-It should be understood that
this is not settlement dollar for dol
lar. A settlement dollar for dollar
is to fund the debt in bonds bear
ing six per cent. interest, whereas
our new bonds will bear only three
per cent. interest. The settlement
is virtually the same as Cos set
tlement, since the new bonds will
be worth only sixty cents. Five
per cent. interest on sixty cents is
the same rs three per cent. interest
on one dollar.
4th-It should be understood
that If we pay our interest prompt
ly, rs we are bound TO do, there
will be no coupons to receive for
taxes.
5th-Under this settlement Ten
nesseo will have lower taxes than
any state, North or South.
Let these facts go before the peo-
pie, and they will give correct de-
cision.
Do not let the public mind be |
misled by false statements or lncor-
rect information.

and it has had Il paralyzing effect
ION all classes Of citizens. / [ has been
\ ldeeided to erect memorial III
Mount Pleasant Cemetery. All
this day one could not walk il block
without meeting some procession.
| There are many strangers on the
streets from the coahHy ports and
Eneighboring towns. Iii several
cases, entire families, with one or
two exceptions, have been wiped
Iout-for instance, that Of Mr.. Jas.
COughland, whose children and
grand children, numbering five, are
lying dead in the house Of his
daughter. Jennie was married toa
man named Swazzle the day before
the accident. The couple We're both
drowned. The family of w. Hall
luses five in one house. Every
kind of coffin isin use, and the dead
are being conveyed to the bHry1ng
places by every class of vehicle.
The remains of VIM. Mcbride were
carried in a light wagon, followed
by a procession annie long. Men
can hardly speak to each other
without breaking down. The scenes
in the afflicted household are terri-
bic and trying TO the strongest
nerves. The clergymen, who have
worked nobly all through, are tired |
out, and canuOt reach the graves
fast enough. In many eases, the
members of different families are
put in one grave. The different So !
.cieties are on hand and doing their
utmost to facilitate the burial. The |
longest procession to-day, was that /
the remains of Willie |
Glass and Miss Cooper, who were
engaged to be married next month,
and died together in the water. A
couple of hundred well filed ve-
hicles followed the hearses, which
passed along side by side.
The search for the dead this morn
ing raised two little girls, clasped
tightly in each others arms, us they
no doubt had fallen together in the
water. Several cases of robbing the
dead are reported. Among the ar
ticles missing is 4 gold watch and
chain, which Mr.. Millman had worn
and a gold necklace of a young la
dy. The ssfor hirev wagons were
busiIy engaged, and in some cases
to make money and count as much
IS possible, the corpses were hur-
RED into houses in an unceremoni-
OuS manner, and the drivers hur-
ried off for another load. In one
Instance, driver brought Il body

The Raseaiiy Ring.

The report of the Memphis Postal
commission shows that the Govern
ment has been Systematically plum
dered in river mail contracts. Tho
commission does not state in words
who the parties were who have
committed these robbcrieS, but the
action of the PostOflice Department
talks palmer than The words of the
commissioner report. Before the
commission had completed its In
bors, four of the most bare faced
frauds We're abolished, all Of them
known as the Adams routes, viz;
1. The Little Rock and Fort Smith.
on which no mail was carried. ?.
The st. Francis river route, where
the mali could be delivered moro
regularly and frequently for one
twentieth of the sum paid the ring
contractor. 3. The White river
route, where it was found that bet
ter service could be performed for
One-tenth of the sum paid the ring
contractor. 4. The Camden ana
New Orleans route, where Eve
sixths of the contract price was alb
sOrbed by the ring contractor, who
owned no steamboats,, and all OF
service for which the steamboat
was paid $4,000 to perform could
be better performed for 5000. These
bare-faced frauds could not exist
under honest postal supervision.
There was fraud. And there were
two parties to this fraud. There is
no escape from this conclusion.

HOW 20 rInIke Tennessee Prospe :

Maj. VIM. j. Sykes thus closes
a letter to the Memphis Appeal !;
'sThe only thing that can now lie
done is to devils ways and means to
reduce the debt Il to make it less
burdensome to tie people. The
Improvement of TN country, the
erection of furnaces and factories,
the opening of coal mines and ore
banks, making navigable our riv-
ers, the proper regulation of rail-
roads, the wise management of our
penitentiary, the making of good
public roads, the reform in our ju-
dietary system-these will do more
for the state than the constant agl-
tation of the state debt question,
which has absorbed every thing
else and prevented such wise and
wholesome legislation as would
have saved the state far more than
the whole amount of the debt tax.
Let there hereafter be no divisions
among us; let the words high tax
and slow tax state credit and RE
pudiation' be obliterated from the
vocabulary of Tennessee politics !;
let us unite upon practical, live
measures and put our state upon
the onward and upward march of
progress and improvement

The homestead OF the late Hon.
Balie Peylon, OF Summer county, Is
about to be sold out under fnrclos-
ure, to satisfy a mortgage to the
amount of about $4,000 The prop
erty is the Inheritance and home OF
the late Col. Peyton's daughter.
The fact coming to the ears Of a
number of local turfmen, petition
is in circulation addressed exclu-
sively to turfmen of the United
States, to come TO the rescue Of the
homestead by individual suhscrip-
tions. 1t will require 20 second
reading, no reiterated appeabto the
generous turfmcn of America, 10 Sc
cure the heartiest and promptest
response. Noble Bale Peyton was
an homer of the turf OF Tennessee
and of the whole country. No
name than his has shed greater
1ustre upon its annals, FROM the
date Of the great -Peyttin Stake
down to tile present day. No heart
than his beat in quicker sympathy
to the sufierings Of the distressed,
and many an humble turfman in
reduced circumstances has expert
enced the blessings of his bounty.
OF contemporary turfmen he was a
bright exemplar-the nOblcst RO-
man Of them all. In official sta-
tion, or in the private walks of life,
there was no truer type of man
hood. The movement TO rescue
his homestead for the benefit OF his
daughter, is honorable TO the turf
men who have survived him. Tho
eloquence Of just such actions never
failed, while he lived, TO cause his
eyes to fill with tears.
