The way to get a thing believed by
the public at large is to FIRST have a
truth to announce without any doubt
or suspicion al to its being the truth,
and then to keep on telling by speech
and pen by type and figure, in every way
repeating it constantly. Thus it was
that when The Louisiana State Lot.
terry was incorporated in 1868 at New
Orleans, for charitable and education,
al purposes, there was a doubt that the
managers would act as fairly as they
announced, but the fact that Generals
q. 7. Beauregard, of La, and Jubal
A Early, Of Va, have the sole super.
vision Of the drawings removes this
suspicion, and it has been proven up
to the l5Oth monthly drawing on Nov.
l4th, that millions have been distrib
qted to parties applying to M. A.
Dauphin, New Orleans, La, in sums
ranging as high as $l00, 200, and 80 on
down. Tickets cost S., but ffths arc
sold at 81 each, and the certainty OF
the event is supplemented by the
knowledge that some one will got
$4,000, or fractional parts thereof.
Who will it be?

A recent number ofthe st. James
Gazette has given some interesting
figures showing the growth of English
commercial interests and the general
progress OF the nation during the reign
of Queen Victoria. The increase in
manufactures is fairly indicated by
the figures connected with seven Of
the principal items of commercial &C.
tivity. In 1910 the power of station
airy engines employed was estimated
at $4,000 horse power, while in 1890
the estimate was 2,200,000. During
the same forty years the production
OF pig iron has increased from 1885,
coo to S,326,0OO per annum. and the
production Of Goals from SO, 100000 to
l47,OOO,OOO. The annual consumption
OF cotton has grown from 437 600, 900
to l,4O4, 100000, and the consumption
OF wool from 124,000,0 900 to 4Ol,-
OOO,OOO. The value of cotton mann.
%facturers has increased during the
same period from 926, 600, 600 TO e6..
OOO,UOOi and the number of wards Of
linen produced has grown from l86.
OOO,OOO to AIS, 000, 900. These 6gures
show that manufactures have in.
creased IN about equal ratio with the
output Of coal-that is to saw. have
about quadrupled. Meanwhile. the
population has risen only 80 per cent.
1t IS interesting, also, to note tbat
while public wealth has more than
doubled, it has multiplied the number
OF those who are above the need of
public support, In 1850 the United
Kingdom had 476 paupers Der 10 000
inhabitants, while in 1880 the number
was only 2S9 per 10000 decline Of
about, 40 per cent. In the same
period the deposits ia the SAVINGS
banks arose from e28.000 900 to est.
OOO,9OO, or from the ratio of Dis. TO 46s
per intabitant. The probate returns
also show that the proportion OF
persons leaving property at the
time OF their death ha,
increased from one in thirty
10 the year 1887 to one in sixteen in
1880. Meanwhile tho national debt
has been reduced $4,000 O0O-from
9788, 0O0,000 to 9769. 900, 600 These
figures show that while in 1897 the
debt amounted to 10 per cent of the
national wealth, in 1880 it amounted
TO only 8 8 per cent. The accumula.
tive power Of the country is still
further shown by the fact that during
the first decade OF Queen Victoria
reign the number of new houses built
annually was 80, 100, while in the Years
from 1879 50 the average amounted to
$3.50. This item alone shows that
since 1910 the number of new houses
built, not counting houses robuilt his
been not less than about 2,2l80OQ.
representing an estimated value Of
9l,37l, 600, 900, Or about double the
national debt. From these interesting
figures the writer draws the singular
conclusion that "bricklayers in twenty
years have been able to pay Off The
public debt or, which is the same, to
increase the public wealth to that
amount

FUssELL's vote is perfectly i'm

FUssELL's vote is perfectly i'm
mense. 1t is a terrific rebuke to the
self made bosses who attempted to
mislead the people. Look at the array
Of speakers who advocated this cause.
Their names make a long list Of ability
aud responsibility. There was the
original sky blue chief, ex-senator
James E Bailey, and his prOtege
Rufus Rhodes, then Colonel j. j..
Turner, of Gallatin, a lawyer
Of ability; Hon. Eb. James, Of
Chattanooga; General Luke T..
Wright, Of Memphis, Judge John
v. Wright, Of Columbia, an able and
very distinguished exponent of high
credit ideas. Well the list is not as
long as we thought it was, but it was
exceeding loud. Oh yes, there was
another Senator Howell e. jackson,
who argued that the men who elected
him to his high seat were regulators
and unfit to be trusted with the prerog-
alive Of self government. Then there
were some smaller ones whose names
will not be inscribed in any pantheon
that the people Of this State will ever
erect. The people rose up in
their might and rebuked bossism,
rebuked mendacity and cranks
and the slavish tools of unscru.
pulous money power, and expressed
alike their honest indignation for the
1lO 3 and the 60-6 acts and their CON
tempt for those who were foolish or
knavish enough to obey The hehests Of
hired lobbyists and Shylock bond
holders. This election is one of the
most significant and emphatic
expressions of popular purpose and
intelligence ever given in Tennessee.
The people are determined to be heard
and to hold their public servants to a
strict accountability. They are re-
solved to rule and not to be ruled by
the fawning sycophants of monopOlies
or silly men made drunk by a
little exercise Of brief authority. Per
haps the bondholders and the
outside world will begin to understand
that there are two sides to a question
and that Tennesseeans propose to
manage their own affairs, But for
outside dictation and inside hypocrisy
or treachery and corruption the State
debt question would have been honor.
ably and satisfactorily adjusted five or
ten years ago. The attempt to
override the people and fasten an ire
vocable settlement and load of taxa.
ton upon them for a hundred years,
has been fttingly resented, as well as
the assumption that they are dishon-
est and cannot be trusted. This
has been done first in the
honored courts OF the State,
aud second. finally and unanswerably
at the ballot box. That small and
Insignificant portion of the press which
undertook to lecture the people on
morals and manners and honesty, has
also felt the tread of the elephant. 1t
is a glorious day for Tennessee, a vim
dication Of the right and the capa-
bility Of freemen to govern themselves.

THR Russell vote was surprisingly
small in this city. We always sup.
posed that it might be run up to -four
hundred, and possibly at one time
we might have conceded a thousand.
When Democrats saw that the game
OF a few was to play into the hands Of
Hawkins, they promptly made UP
their minds to support the gallant end
hOnored General Bate. A few held
out, it is true, on the principle of the
fellow who said the horse was sixteen
feet high, and then swore to it. No
harm was done unless to themselves.

The Owosso times. (Owosso, Mich.) 18??-1882, 1882-02-10

Some of our contemporaries are
discussing the question Of candidat es
for the several state Offices, naming
this and that man for specific places
all good men no doubt, but we
have not yet seen suggested for Audi
tor General the name of any man
who would be likely to fill the office
as efficiently as does the present in
cumbent, Hon. w. Irving Lattimer.
We know he has served two terms
that by the so called rule of rotation
new man should be selected. But
We do not know of single good rea-
son why, well informed, efficient,
gentlemanly officer Of known integri-
ty, and peculiar qualifications to dis
charge for the best interest of the
people of the state the arduous, in,ri.
cate and perplexing duties of Auditor
General, should be rotated out SIM
ply to give place to some one who,
however able, lacks the knowledge
and experience SO essential to the
best performance of the duties ofthat
position. The people appreciating this
fact, kept in that position for several
terms, General Humphrey, a deserv-
eddy popular officer, and yet, we
think we can safely say, that however
ably he may have served the people,
he was in no particular the superior
Of the present incumbent, who, if he
will consent to serve another term on
the starvation salary paid that officer,
we hope may be nominated and
elected, as we know if he is the peo-
pie will have an Auditor General Of
whom they will have every reason to
be proud.
