What the Figures Declare.

"The ignorance of the STANDARD
may be excused" says the Era, but
figures do not excuse the false statement
of the Era when ii says in its issue of
Aug. II, 1881, that leach one pho paid
ten dollars for has State tar last gear wil
nOw haze to fork over Just eighty this !"
The figures declare this a gross talsehOOd
by showing that he "who paid ten dol
lars last year for his State tax" has
only to pay thirty dollars this year,
1881, the State school tax being ten
cents each year and omitted in both
CaIcuIalIOns.

An Acquisitions.

Since its virtues have been utilized
by DIR. Tabler as permanent cure for
Piles, the Buckeye, now so abundant in
our native forests, has become of almost
as much importance in the medical
world as Cinchona, or Peruvian bark,
of South America. Fortunately the
medical properties are in the fruit, and
not the bark; hence the trees will not
be destroyed, but will stand many
years to yield an abundant supply,
and we may regard Tabler's Buckeye
Pile Ointment as permanent remedy.

Personal Notices.

"Gen. Buel and wifeare in the city,"
The above is the personal notice
given by the Nashville Banner of
man of note in the world. But sup
pose the Banner had used the cheap and
nonsensical notices of flattery, which
we see so often in some county papers,
and said: "That distinguished hero
and magnanimous civilian, and his ele-
CANT, amiable and accomplished wife,
so well and favoably known to our
community, where they both have le-
gions of friends and admirers of their
superexcellent qualities of both head
and heart. paid our city a pleasant visit
this week, where they were welcomed
with unfeigned delight and boundless
hospitality" would not the General and
every other sensible person have been
disguised with such nonsense? Yet we
have seen just such parade as this made
over private citizens not over twenty
one years of age, and who are not
known outside of the county in which
they were born for anything more than
that they are plain, clever people in
whom the readers of newspapers have
no interest whatever.
Now what is newspaper forf We
think it is to give news, not cheap,
commonplace fattery. We consider
that We are paid for the news, and if
we must give the common article of
flattery we must be paid for that, too.
And the want of prepayment in the
latter case may explain many sad dis
appointments.
If we should give personal saying
that JEFF Davis was in town this week
the people would know more about the
subject of our notice than we could
give in three columns of our paper
and just SO of the humblest citizen in
the land in his sphere of acquaintance
and we have neither the time nor tn,
disposition to take any one out of that
for it would be as if one should take
: fish out of water and call it bird.

The Chattanooga Times, speaking of
the difficulty in the discharge Of pus
from the wound of the President, says
it is checked "near the point where
Guiteau's bullet lodged" The ques-
ton is, is that Guiteau's bullet now :
Evidently it was his up to 8 o'clock,
July I'd, 1881, but didn't he forfeit it
at that hour2 If so, whose is it ? The
President certainly does not claim it,
for he regards it as an unlawful in
truder in its present position. DIR.
Bliss and his colleagues have failed so
far to get even possession of it, much
less the right of possession. And
while the United States claims Gar
field not only as citizen but as the
chief magistrate, the bullet is no part
of Garfield, and hence is not claimed
by the United States. Don't it belong
to Prof. Bell by eight of trover, for
Guiteau lost it and Bell found it? Let
the Lebanon Herald answer.

The Cause of Crime.

When all due allowances have been
made for the facilities of news gather
ing and news publication in this day of
fast progress, it must be admitted that
crime is more potent, more prolific and
more frequent than ever before in our
history as people. Itpervades every
class of society, and stalks in high
places as well as in the low. Instead
of light and knowledge diminishing its
spread, criminals seize these agencies
to render their deeds more respectable
and crime more scientific. knowledge
is power, and power may be as effectu-
ally applied in the perpetration of vice
as in the PRONUNCIATION of virtue.
Society is composed of moral agents,
and in proportion as these agents act
from virtuous principles, in like ratio
will the state of society be virtuous.
When these agents, whether the
in family, in the church, or in the
State, disregard the restraints of virtue
conflict begins which must end in the
triumph of these restraints or in their
overthrow, which is the gateway tc
crime. Then what, we may ask, is
the cause of the crimes of our day
We answer, it is INSTRUMENTATION to an
hority, both human and divine, from til,
cradle to the gravel The child is borr
with the spirit of characterization, anC
fostered in the school of disobedience
and lives life of disregard for the au
thority of the family, the church, anc
the State. He is naturally rebellious
and becomes by training morally ant
politically rebel. The girl is in
dulged because she is girl, and tn
boy is excused because he is expecte,
to be unruly. These boys and girl
will in time make society, and this SC
ciety will be like its component parts
neither knowing how to govern nor b
governed. The result is anarchy an
crime socially, morally and politically
Is there no remedy? None save tn
will Of these moral agents, and that
not likely to be exercised in the wa
of remedy. Cleanse the fountai
and the stream will be pure"

1t is estimated that there are thou
sands of doctors of divinity and LII.
DIS, and other doctors, whose titles are
honorary. The post of honor is pri-
vate station and its insignia plain, I'M
vanished mister. The distinction,
however, is SO high and honorable that
the public rarely confers it. If one es-
capes the doctorship he must consent to
be levelled down by the addition Of
major, colonel or general, and not I'm.
frequently an honorable citizen is de.
graded to captain. Just after the wal
it was not unusual to hear a man dis.
graced by his fellow-men with the title
lieutenant, but no man everputs another
so low down as that now unless he is
well heeled and hunting a rOw.-Amer

The StupendOus Dodge.

Yhe Era said in in its issue of Sept.
/, 1881:
"Does not every sensible person know
that the farms of this county do not
yield on an average two and half per
cent. ?"
The farmers of this county report
their products at $751;, 645, and their
lands valued at $l,4 1886. The pro
ducts thus amount to over forty per
cent. on the lands. Webster says
yield is especially applied to products
resulting from growth or cultivation. {"
The figures therefore declare the "yield"
of the farms of Warren to be over
forty per cent. The Era persists in
falsely saying it is two and half, and
to cover this false statement it perverts
the meaning of the word "yield" by
saying it is "what is left after all ex-
penses" have been paid.
1t thus goes on covering one, false
statement with the perversion of words
and the Misrepresentation of figures.
Let men who understand language and
comprehend figures judge for them
selves.

to the people not to pay anything on
the State debt. If we owe anything
of the debt, as those who voted for
