PAYING MUNICIPAL DEBTS.

The city of New York could very
plausibly insist, after the fraud dis,
closures under the Tweed manage.
ment, that a large portion OF her
debt ought not to be paid; but the
idea of regulating any part of her
indebtedness has not been express
ed, much less entertained, by any
of her citizens who have regard
for their regulations. The result is
that the city Of New York can sell
her 4 per cent. bonds for more than
their face value. The little city OF
Worcester, Mass, has recently is
sued half million Of 4 per cent.
bonds, with twenty-five years to
run, and has sold them for 100, be-
cause everybody believes that Wor.
cester will pay the interest and
principal of her debt. Pittsburgh
found it necessary to raise $345, ooo
in order to meet riot claims and Tor
other purposes, and she therefore
issued 4 per cent. bonds, some to
run one year and some having three
years to run, and sold them at q
premium.
On the other hand some OF the
cities of the south have repudiated,
and others have surrendered their
charters, and still others are con-
templating a surrender of their mu'
| nicipal franchizes. It would b
much more to the credit and benefit
of these cities if they would NEE
the difficulties squarely and honest
ly make some provision for thei'
creditors.

posterity. Let him resolve that he
will do his whole duty in this res
gard; and then if failure ensues it
can not be laid at his door or the
door Of his party.
The question is one of difficulty.
1t is one to enlist the talents and
energies Of every lover of his state.
To settle it will lie glory enough
for any Legislature. Future gens
erations will rise up to call those
blessed who now devote their. eners
gies to accomplish that great result.
And il settled, Tennessee, olsen
thralled and untrammeled, and still
in the adolescent state Of, her glori'
Gus development, will spring for
.|tward to the front rank Of the world
lgreat progress. mno-~-
Should the republican party fa'
in its duty concerning this question
lit will forfeit that confidence whic
it has SO justly inspired, and lose il
opportunity for the accomplishmet
i of good in Tennessee for years
come. But the republican part
: will not fail.

THE STATE DEBT.

All other questions that will
come before the present legislature
dwindle into insigni6cance when
compared with the question as to how
the debt of the state shall be set
tied. The duty of republican
members is plain. They have
simply to adhere to the platform
upon which they and Governor
Hawkins were elected. There must
be no dallying; no Sinking; no
coquetting or trading at the expense
of principle. The democratic party
has controlled this state for ten
years, and its financial condition
has been growing worse during all
that time. That party, with
abundant opportunities, has de-
veloped no leadership except that
of a demagogical sort. 1t has
shown itself utterly incapable and
unequal to the exigency. The long
suffering honesty of the state has
begun to grow FESTIVE under its
Encouragement and tired Of its in
capacity.
Not only the people of Tennessee
but the people of the entire coun"
try know that the republican party
is pledged to a settlement Of the
debt of the state on the best terms
that can be fairly and honestly
made with the creditors Of the
state; and the republicans Of Ten
nessee can not afford to recede one
inch from this position. The re-
publican member who falters in this
emergency will as certainly b.
relocated to the quiet Of private LIE
as honesty prevails in majority o
the republican..party. The repuoii
can party in Tennessee is a party Q
principle, and has prospect OF s.
strengthening its ranks as to Leaf
our state to a glorious develop
ment. It dare not jeopardize tn
present opportunity. 1t dare no
imperil the future prosperity
Tennessee by any unworthy actor
Let every republican member OF tn
legislature adhere with unsNer7ln
tenacity and unshrinking devotlo
to principle; let him exert VIVA
ever ability he has, honestly on
manfully, to the settlement OF tn
question, which is of such tram
eendent moment to US and to OF

Amputation of the Leg
The Old Family Physician at Fault Dr. David Kennedy the Suc-
 cessful Surgeon.

Money is the universal necessity, and none but cynic or fool will affect to despise it. MT. Abram Ellsworth, of Port Ewen, Ulster county, N. Y,, had realized this truth. His disease involved the whole of his thigh bone, and the suffering man looked forward, not without apparent reason, to death as his only deliverer. His family physician refused to amputate the limb asserting that the opera tion would kill the patient the spot. Dr. David Kennedy, of Rondout, N. Y., who was consulted, held different opinion, and amputated the limb. The Doctor then ad- ministered freely his great Blood Specific FA- VORITE REMEDY 10 afford tone and strength to the system, prevent the return of the disease, and Mr. Ellsworth remains to this day in the bloom of health. This gentleman s disease was the offspring of foul blood, and Kennedy's FAVORIrE REMEDY purified the blood and restored to him the power once more to enjoy his life. Are you suffering from any disease traceable to the same cause Try Favorte Remedy. Your druggist has it. ONE DOLLAR bottle.
