itself that the facts fully justified
the publications At the same time,
while indicating the integrity of its
news, The Press deems it due to the
same spirit of candor to add that
Senator Cameron, during his visit
here, was i'll with trouble which is
not calculated to make any man
amiable or reflective; and it is not
strange that he should not have
realized the full import of what he
said, or that at subse quent period
he should not have accurately re-
lnembered it. But the most obstin-
ate toothache does not always last,
and Mr.. Cameron now disavows the
utterance. It is not the first time
that the plans of conspicuous lead
ers have suffered from apparently
small causes. Napoleon lost the
battle of Leipsic from intellectual
congestion brought on by eating a
dish of lampreys.

A PUBLIC MATTER.

A public mans public record is
public property, and we have right
to criticize it. The friends of Con-
gresham Houk are trying very hard
to make it appear that we have made
q personal assault upon him. The
Congressional Record shows that
during the last session of 10th Con-
gress he was absent at one hundred
and twelve roll calls out of one hun.
dred and twentysseven, or more than
six>sevenths of the time during an
entire session. We obtained this
fact from the records, and have made
publication of it, as we have right
to do. No one of his friends has
publicly denied the truth of what
we have published. We challenge
him or any of his friends to make q
denial of the facts. We have done
it before but they dare not deny it,
knowing that the proof is matter
of record.
Now, until they disprove the truth
of the charge, Or at least deny it's
truth, is it not little cheeky for
them to be abusing us for publishing
the truth! Does it not show that
the truth hurts Judge Houk S
hired man, who edits his Knoxville
organ, is very angry over the dis
closures we have made and, not dar-
ing to deny them, he relieves him,
self by making mouths " at us.
This is about as harmless way of
showing his anger as we can think of,
for his physiognomy is about as pleas
ant to look upon when he is " making
months" as when he is in his normal
condition. Whenever the truth Of
our statements are denied we will
produce the proof, but so long as
they are answered by p ersonal abuse,
we can only laugh when their fear
cometh." The people have a right
to know that Houk neglected their
interests on the floor of the House
of Representatives by habitually alb,
senting himself from roll-calls, and
we intend that they shall know it..
His friends neither deny it nor ex-
plain it, and they do not call on us
to explain why he is absent.

ton was promptly made to lay Col.
James resolution on the table. At
ter sharp colloquy between Maj.
Mcconnell and James the motion to
table was withdrawn and vigorous
discussion ensued, in the progress of
which, Maj. O'Brien said that if the
Mcconnell resolutions were adopted
no State credit Democrat could with
any degree of self respect, go to
Nashville as a delegate The reso-
luton in lieu was lost by two>
thirds vote, and the resolutions in
structing delegates were adopted by
a vote of 271 to 18A. Among the
delegates appointed we notice the
names of pronounced State credit
Democrats, such as E. A. James, DR..
p. ID. Sims and Maj. O'Brien.
Whether they will feel, after the pas
sage of the resolutions instructing
them, that they have any business
In the Nashville convention, we, of
course. cannot tell But we shall
not be surprised if some of them are
heard from again
The purposes of those who will
apparently control the State conven-
ton are sufficiently developed
to demonstrate that one of the
leading points to be made, win
be the demand for the res
peal of the 60 3-4-5-6 settles
ment. Nothing short of this will
satisfy them, and the question before
the convention will be, whether
avowed opposition to the settlement
agreed upon shall form part of the
Democratic platform or not. The
question as to what basis a settle
ment will be made upon will be
easily settled. A meaningless, am
biguous, janus-faced platform, like
unto that drafted by Marks in 1878,
will satisfy the thermometers.

Senator Hill,
Special to St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

Special to st. Louis Globe-Demoerat-
WARRINGTON, D. c., June 1.-Ex-
United States Senator Thomas
Clingman, of North Carolina, who
has been spending several months at
Eureka Springs, Ark, arrived in
Washington to>day, direct from the
springs, somewhat improved in
health, but still feeble. General
Clingman says that he saw Senator
Ben. III. Hill on Monday of this
week, just before leaving the springs;
that he is greatly emaciated and
very weak, but seems somewhat bet.
ter; that he is now able to sit
up a part of the time and
take some solid and substantial
food, but that the wound made by
the last surgical operation near the
base of his tongue is still unhealed.
The Senator physician, DIR. Wright,
expresses himself now as somewhat
hopeful of the ultimate recovery of
his distinguished patient under the
healing and purifying waters of the
springs. But Gen. Clingman thinks
that the grounds for such hope are
not strong, and seems to think that
the Senator himself is far from sans
guine that he will ever recover. Such
is the horrid condition of the throat,
resulting from the cancerous affect
ion and the surgeons knife, that the
Senator's articulation is very difficult
and painful, and it is with difficulty
he can be understood at all.

Mrs. Garfield.
Gath in Cincinnati ENQUIRER.

'sShe is Just as quiet, modest a
little woman as ever, though she is a
rich woman now. That is to say she
is so much richer than she ever was
before that she is considered rich by
herself, her friends, and her neigh
bors. I would like to take you
around to see her if you come to
Cleveland. She is great pet in our
town, though she does not seem to
know it. Cleveland worships the
memory of Garfield
''What is Mrs. Garfield WORTH"
"Well, you can sum it up. She
has 100000 in government bonds,
the result of the subscription. Then
her husbands life was insured for
$4,000, which she promptly re-
ceived. She also was paid the salary
of the President for the unoccupied
first year, amounting to about $40,-
900 That makes $500, 1000 does it not?
Very well. Then add to it about
$4,000, the total value of Garfeld's
estate. That was the total amount,
after all the abuse that was received,
that he was able to accumulate in a
life of fifty years. ] suppose that
the income from this total of more
than 100000 will be perhaps SIG
900 a year. She is also put on the
pension list at $4,000 year. So she
is comfortable and can raise her chill
| dren well; but the loss of Garfield
was blow that will leave its scar as
long as she lives. Just think of that
little women, almost dying at the
White House, when he took her to
the seaside and returned to meet his
| death>wound; and she, then rally
ing, watching over him for months,
surviving him, and being well toe
day."
'What is going to be done about
the Garfield monument e.
''My understanding is that there
is now about $125,00O IN the hands
of the Treasurer, and no monument
fund has probably ever been put in
more careful hands. They desire to
erect something that shall typify the
wonderful hold that was obtained in
few months upon the universal
heart of this country. His memory
is not only deeply beloved in North~
ern Ohio and throughout all our
State, where he lived so long, but is
the rallying cry for the moral and in
dependent forces in the country, and
you can hear his name shouted III
| Pennsylvania to-day stronger than
all the living forms of political
power. People felt what was the
fact-that he was loving man, with
a warm, boyish heart, and affection
ate like woman, and he took his
instincts from the people, like Linz
coin"

THE HARMONIOUS DEMOCRACY OF
HAMILTON COUNTY.

The Democrats of Hamilton Coun
ty held a meeting at Chattanooga
last Saturday to appoint delegates to
the State convention, which meets
on the goth inst. Everything pro-
crossed quietly until a resolution was
presented by Maj. I. M. Mcconnell
repudiating the so ,3>4>5-6 settle
ment of the State debt, when quite a
little breeze of excitement was raised.
Col. E. A. James moved in lieu, a
resolution, leaving the delegation un-
instructed, but requested to use all
honorable means to harmonic the
party upon such platform as they, in
their judgment, think best for the
interest and prosperity of the State
and the success of Democratic prir>

convention did not seem in>

Oh yBack!

That's a common express
sion and has a world of
meaning. How much suf-
fering is summed up in it.
The singular thing about
it is, that pain in the back
is occasioned by SO many
things. May be caused by
kidney disease, liver COM
plant, consumption, cold,
rheumatism, dyspepsia over
work, nervous debility, &c.
Whatever the cause, don't
neglect it. Something is
wrong and needs prompt
attention. No medicine has
yet been discovered that
will SO quickly and surely
cure such diseases as
Browns IRON BITTERs, and
it does this by commencing
at the foundation, and max
ing the blood pure and rich.

Blood Curlling Story.

We find the following going the round
of our exchanges There Is lonely
place near Mt. Nebo, where Yellow
Creek flows through deep gorge, on
one side of which is cave which Is re-
garded with horror by the superstitious
people here, who tell the following
strange story. Twenty years ago two
peddlers sought shelter III this cave
from binding snow-storm on cold
night. Before living down to sleep one
of them counted out large quantity OF
gold and put into his belt. He then lay
down and was soon sleeping heavily.
His companion then arose and gazing
into the face of his companion TO see II
he was sleeping, he plunged the blade OF
his clasp knife into the poddler's breast.
The dark blood gushed from the wound
III stream, the form stiffened, and ali
was over. The murderer secured the
belt, shiny with blood, and poured out
the gold Suddenly he saw the blood
forming into pool where the gold lay,
and lie realized what an awful deed he
had done to get the gold. He threw the
body far into the cave, buried the gold,
and rushed out of the cave, intending
to go back some day. He cut the trees
along his way to guide him when he
should return. He was found miles
away from the cave in the snow, with his
hands and feet frozen, and was taken to
the hospital at Cleveland. After a long
sickness he told the story of his crime
to his niece, and died. After the funeral
the niece and her husband went to the
cave by means of the trees, which were
cut to guide them, but found that the
roof of the cave had fallen in. They
hired help and began removing the rocks
and earth, when they were startled by
unearthly voices and lights, and they
gave up the search, the cave filling up
again after them. Since then many I'M
successful attempts have been made to
secure the hidden treasure. One party
went ont, and while sitting around the
camp fire, the ghostly figure of ped
der appeared. The hair of one of the
party turned perfectly white. and they
say he died the next day. Another man
worked alone to find the gold, but told
Mr.. Ditmar, in an excited way, that
there was no use hunting for the gold
any more" and disappeared. The peo-
pie of Mt. Nebo have given up the
search for the hidden fortune. -.Steuden-

The Tide of immigration.

NEW IORk, hdTCu 20.
The immigration OF Italians is greater than
ever before known. Within two days 1870
have landed here, and large numbers are on
their way. or other natonalties now arriving
the German takes the lead. Since Jan.
nearly all of this class have been farmers
with means. There is every prospect that
unprecsdentedly large as the grand total Of
immigration was last year, it will be eclipsed
by the figures OF 1882. The records of the
past two and half months show this to
be fact. Since January last year the arrivals
were 8,0S2; this year, 1902; February, 1881,
9,753 this year, Is, 752 twenty days of March,
1881, 1896; this year, 1859 total three
months last year, 29,S5l; total thus far this
year, 1856 increase, 1875. The total for
the month OF March last was N,708. 1t is ex-
pected this year it will be 10000 at least. This
will make an increase Of nearly 90 per cent. for
the first quarter, and. il it continues in the
same proportion during the remainder OF the
year, the population OF the United States will

Down i'm Florida.

The ST. Johns River is queer river,
says Florida correspondent. 1t Is about
$50 miles long, from four to ten miles
wide, and averages about q foot deep.
In the center, of course, the channel
gets to be quite deep. Sometimes it has
a depth of forty feet. Its current runs
about mile day. / presume it would
take about 80 days for n cork TO float
from the source of the st. Johns to its
mouth. 1t is salt for fifty miles from its
mouth, and brackish for 100 miles. 1t
is full OF shad, catfish, frogs, toads, cells,
slligatorS, aud cawl-fishes. l don't know
OF any fish or reptile that don't live in
the st. Johns River.
"Call this river ?" / said 70 an old
alligator killer who was fishing for cat
fgh off the pier at Palatka. why, it's
great bay It's no more a river than
Lake Erie is Lake Erie runs faster
than the ST. Johns River"
"Thar you's wrong agen, stranger.
She's neither river nor bay; she's a
COW pasture Don't you see the COWS
standing all over the riyer?"
That man was right. AL! the cows in
Florida seemed to congregate in the st.
Johns. There they stood IN the water
all day long, slashing the mosquitoes
with their tails, while their heads are
under water eating grass. 1t is strange
thing, indeed, to see droves of cattle
feeding along river with their heads
under the water. They look like a lot of
cattle without heads. They will put
even their horns and ears under when the
grass lays deep, and keep them under
sometimes two minutes. They get to be
as amphibious as the crocodile. A SUBJ
marine COW pasture is an institution en-
joyed by the State of Florida.
