The people of Dyer county are en-
phatic in their disapproval of the
present proposed settlement of the
State debt. They are in favor of SOB,
aud consider the question an open one
until the next Democratic State cOn-
vention speaks. The Republican plat
form says COG. Let our platform be
equally plain, on some figure that will
unity the party. Then let the people
say which they prefer by electing a
Democrat or a Republican Governor.
We are in favor Of abiding the de-
cision of the State convention, and it
may be best for all interested to ac-

it is remembered that the same men
xho advocate this movement are gen.
orally the same that proclaimed the

tanned it in all their actions and with
their influence until the Supreme
Court emancipated the people from
the coupon feature; and that the
same men sneered at the court that
brought us back to liberty-when all
this is borne in mind, we think the

A Possible Res luton.
New York Tribune. @.

NNW A'4h LAAgAA9f -
The Republican revolt against boss
ism in Pennsylvania seems to be as
suming proportions which may well
astonish even its leaders. From all
parts of the State come reports that
the masses Of the party are
showing unexpected sympathy with
the Independent movement. Senator
Mitchells county Of Tioga has gone
over almost bodily to his side. A call
for q mass meeting to approve
the Independent course was
signed by no less than 1000 Republi
cans, among whom we're the foremost
Republicans in the county. Reports
from the other heavy Republican
counties in the Northern Tier say that
the uprising is almost as strong
there as it is in Tioga,
and that the independents
already greatly outnumber the Came
ron Republicans. OF course, reports
Of this kind are always to be received
cautiously. They are based largely on
an enthusiasm which may be merely
temporary; still, there is good reason
for believing that the Republicans Of
the State are profoundly stirred on
the issues which are to control tbeiI
course in the coming campaign. IL
an outsider, viewing the situation at q
distance, it looks very much as j.
Pennsylvania might be about TO b.
visited by one Of those s%pontaneou
and irresistible uprisiBgs Of popula.
sentiment which sweep away all Oppo
!. sition.

The New Issue Case.

Colonel Savage was at the Pea
body Hotel yeaterday. He Wis
tied jackson to argue the
Torbitt issue before the Supreme
Court. The cause was submitted Thurs
day. Henry Cooper, Fl. II. Harrison,
and J. d. Savage, for the State; Spiral
Hill and A. s. Colyar, for the plain
tiff. Mr.. Randolph, Of Memphis,
special Judge, in the room Of Judge
Freeman, will writet the opinion, which
is not expected for some days.
The points made for the State are:
The 18th section of the Bank Charter
created in 1893, is as follows:
That the bills, and notes of said cor
poration originally made payable, or
which shall have become payable on
demand in gold and silver coin, shall
be receivable at the treasury Of the
State, and by all tax collectors and
other public officers in payment Of
taxes and other money due the State
The counsel for the State insist that
the Torbitt issue is not within the let
ter or spirit of the supposed contract
contained in the 18th section.
lst. Because the bills sued on are
not payable in gold and silver coin
on their face, they merely call for dol
lars.
I'd. There is no proof by'plaintiA
showing that the TOrbitt issue ever
became payable on demand in gold and
silver coin.
Sd. 1t is proved by defendant thatthC
Bank had suspended specie payment
at the time the Torbitt money wal
issued, and never did resume specie
payment, hence these notes never wer,
receivable for taxes.
twas also argued by counsel for tn
State that lit is absurd to say that
section in a bank charter in 1888 cal
appropriate taxes levied in 1881,
revenues levied for the use of tn
State in 1881 are appropriated by tn
law of1S38 that the State governmer
will perish" 1t was further insiste
that the decision Of the 1908 bill W:
conclusive OF the Torbitt issue sui
If the Legislature Of 1881 had I
constitutional power to make coupon
receivable for taxes, certainly Il
Legislature of 1888 had no power
absorb the revenues levied in 1881
pay the notes issued during the l
bellion in 1861. 1t was further Z
gued that His Honor below erred

A Successful Appeal.

At the close of Mr.. Longs sermon,
at the Strangers church last night,
be stated that the church still owed a
balance of $1,000 for the enlargement
and improvements recently made,
which it was desirable to pay off as
soon as possible. A collection was
then taken up, which in subscription
and cash amounted to 1857 50, greatly
to the relist and encouragement Of the
Trustees and active members Of the
church.

Mrs. Childs was a woman whose no.

dist Church, of which she was a light
and a tower OF strength, is dOubly
