While Arab Pasha can in no
possible contingency become truly
formidable, England's situation is
not without its perils. In the first
place, the spirit that has for years
dictated her foreign policy is not
such as is calculated to conciliate
her continental neighbors. Some of
the latter, it is true, seem to approve
of the Egyptian war; but it is safe
to say that the slightest considera-
tions IF possible profit will suffice to
change their attitude of half-hearted
endorsement with one of open hos
tility to Her Majesty's measures;
while others of the powers are at
small pains to conceal the eagerness
with which they look forward to
any complication that will justify
them in offering a check to Eng
lands aggressions. Russia, in par
ticular, always awake to her Asiatic
interests, looks with ill-disguised
satisfaction upon the prospect of
rupture between England and Tur-
key. OF India, too, the British
government must have its fears.
Let a European war engage Eng
lands best efforts; and let her enemy
in Egypt get control of the Suez
canal; then let her Asiatic subjects,
instigated by Russian counsels and
aided by Russian troops, rise in a
determined effort to throw off the
British yoke, and it is by no means
certain what the result might be.
Add to this that the Irish malcon-
tents-powerless, as they are
against England's undivided power
might take advantage of the conting
ency we have imagined for a revolt,
and it is easy to see why Mr.. Glad
stone should be ready with expedi-
ents worthy of great emergencies.

Few state-credit democrats are
silly enough to be caught by the
virtuous pretensions of the boilers.
All candid men must admit that no
settlement of the debt can be final
without the approval of the demo
cratic party of the state; and no
movement that promises to effect a
permanent settlement by defeat
ing democratic measures and candi-
dates can be anything else than an
organized Hypocrisy" Elect Bate
and legislature in accord with him,
and the debt will be settled for all
time. Elect Hawkins and a repub-
ican legislature-and the boilers
can hope to effect nothing more
and you prolong the conflict possibly
two, it may be four or six years, or
even longer. The cause of state
credit has no reasonable hope save
in the complete ascendency of the
democratic party.

The following, from the Louis
vile Courier-J Journal, is a clear
statement of the issue that Tennes-
see democrats are compelled to ac-
oept:
"The Tennessee democrats can
take two courses. They can vote
the republican ticket, of which the
Russell arrangement is a segment,
and hand the state over to the re-
publicans, wholesale reputation
and plumber, and have their state
affairs managed by corrupt cabal
at Washington, have negro and
white children sandwiched together
in the public schools, or they can
vote for the regular democratic
ticket, headed by Bate, and keep the
state in democratic control and have
the only settlement" of the public
debt approved by the people of the
state actualized, free the state from
the intrigues of the republican adj
ministration, and remove the debt
question from state politics"
"Sickening hypocrisy that, to talk
of estate credit" and democracy"
and at the same time range them
selves in the republican regulators
ranks! We would like to see one
argument to show that such a posi-
ton is honorable"

Capt. John q. Woldridge.

EDITOR CITIZEN sense of JUS
tice to the gentleman whose name
heads this article and to his person
al friends who voted and spoke for
him as a suitable candidate to rep
resent Giles county in the next
general assembly at our recent
county convention demands a few
words of explanation to the people
Of the county.
Captain w. was no candidate be-
fore the convention. Some of his
friends asked him to announce
himself as a candidate, but he pos
itively declined to do so. In the
light of his experience before the
convention two years ago his innate
modesty and self-respect forbade
his again becoming a candidate.
The conviction settled upon his
mind at that time that the people
of Giles county had deliberately
come to the conclusion that the leg
islature was no place for him or 9th
ers in his condition, and he is the
last man to thrust himself, as a
mere object Of charity upon an un-
willing constituency. In view OF
this state of things, it may be
asked why did his friends bring his
name before the convention to be
voted for? The answer is: first,
they recognised in him true and
tried democrat. in every way wor-
thy of public trust and confidence.
Secondly, although deprived of Wis
ion, he can see many things apper-
tanning to the public welfare which
former representatives have failed
to see and is better posted upon
political questions likely to come
before the next legislature than
nine -tenths of the people of Gle;
county. Thirdly, because under
the act of the last Legislature ap-
portioning representatives among
the counties of the state, Giles
county will have two representa-
tives-one of whom could have
supplied to Capt. w. in a measure
the defects occasioned by the loss
OF sight. And lastly, because the
nomination would have been a be
coming recognition of his patriotic
services as a soldier on the battle
fields of his country and would
have afforded him a livelihood fol
another year.
They submit to candid and ap-
preciative public without disparag
ing the claims of other candidates
and especially those honored with
the nomination, whether the rea
sons above assigned are not suffi
cient to justify the enthusiastic
support accorded to him by his few
friends in the convention.
And in conclusion, they submit
to the people of Giles county with
whom he was born and reared
whether they intend to keep forever
closed against him the doors to use
fulness and honor and let him die
like pauper or a felon, without
any token of their confidence and
esteem. They hope not.

THE STATE CANVASS

One of the most enthusiastic Bate
clubs in the state is that organized
at Columbia last Friday night
Reasonably well for FusselPs home
Senator Harris made a strong
speech at Mckenzie last Saturday.
He predicted that Russell will not
carry county or even a civil dis
trict in the state.
Senator Harris, it is understood,
is willing to divide time on his list
of appointments withHowell E.Jack-
son or ex-senator Bailey. If such
an arrangement is effected, lively
canvass will be the result.
Gen. Bate spoke at Franklin Mon
day to a large crowd. The William
son county convention was held on
the same day and nominated T. w.
Dick Bullock for representative and
G. R. Berry for foater from William
son and Maury counties.
The chairmen of Hawkins Fus
sells and Beasley's committees have
agreed upon list Of appointments
for joint discussion between their
respective candidates. The list be
gins with Bristol, Monday Aug. %,
and closes with Tullahoma Sept. 16.
Further appointments for Middle
and West Tennessee will be pub
lished later.
Capt. Russell, assisted by ex-
Senator Bailey, Senator jackson,
Gen. Luke E. Wright and Hon. Eb
James, opened the bolter campaign
at Paris last Saturday. A good
crowd was in attendance and a
patient hearing was given the speak
ers, who no doubt made the best
possible presentation of their case.
The nature of Gen. Bates speech
at the Carriers Creek rally last
Saturday was q crushing disap-
pointment to those who, like thu
American, have predicted that the
democratic leaders oratory would
prove too light for campaign ser
vice. Gen. Bates enemies have
loudly asserted, and many of his
friends have feared, that his style of
speaking is too ornate for forcible
presentation of an issue so essen
tally matter-of-fact as that now di-
viding the people of Tennessee.
To the discredit of such prophets,
however, the Generals speech was a
mastery array of facts, vigorous
even to nervousness in style and
forcible in delivery. A more eff
fectiye argument it would be hard
to frame.
The Bate rally and barbecue at
Carter's Creek last Saturday was
an immense success. The attend
ance numbered near three thousand,
hailing from all parts OF Marry,
Giles, Williamson, Davidson and |
Almost every train from |
both directions was crowded. Gen.
Bate came down on the train from |
and was greeted with
music furnished by colored band |
from Columbia and an address of
welcome from Col. A. NJ. Looney.
Gen. Bates speech, which received
applause, vas 3 thrill
ing presentation OF the issues of the
canvass. Beginning with master
ly recital of the iniquities of the re-
publican party and of Coy, Hawk
ms odious record in particular, he
next paid his respects to the boilers

HERE AND THERE.

Several branches of the Irish land
league in this country have decided
to send assistance in men, money
and arms to Arab Pasha.
The New York World says the
tariff commission is bungling the
job it has undertaken in a way
gratifying to all who hate the tariff,
People come before them and talk,
and they are paid for listening.
A New York Herald special from
the seat of war in Egypt says that
Arabi's fertilization engineers and
artillerymen compare very credit
ably with those of the English army,
but that the Egyptian musketry
practice is wretched.
Smallpox has broken out among
the..nsgroes on Centennial Island in
the Mississippi river near Memphis,
and the white population has ex-
odusted. The island has been quaran
tined and he health authorities do
not think there will be any further
spread of the disease.
The British forces in Egypt oc-
cupied Port Said and Ismailia Sun
day in spite of the protests of De
Lesseps, who opposed the idea of
ships of war entering the canal.
Several skirmishes have taken place
within the past week but no con-
siderable engagement. The English
now have undisputed control of the
Suez canal.
A number OF the tariff commits
sion estimate the value of the annu-
al cotton seed crop fthe south, man
ufactured into oil, oil-cake and 9TH
er products, to be between $75, 900
600 and $1O0,OOO,OO0. The opera
tion of the sixty-fiVe or seventy
mills in the south--all of which pay
handsome dividends-has raised the
price of seed more than a hundred
per cent.
Mr.. Long, the American consul at
Alexandria, Egypt was attacked
last Saturday by a party of about
forty natives. He seized a club,
however, and made such a vigorous
defense that none of the assailants
could get close enough to him to
hurt him, before some of the Eng
glish soldiers on duty heard the
clamor and came to the rescue.
Mr.. Long was liberated unhurt, but
it is said that if he remains at Alex
andria his life will surely be taken.
The yellow fever at Brownsville,
Texas, and Matamoras, Mexico, is
steadily spreading. Between 250l
and 300l new cases have been re-
ported within the past week and
some 40 deaths. Distressing desti- |
tuition prevails throughout the in
fected district. The governor of
Texas applied TO the secretary of
the treasury several days since for
in relieving the suffering, |
and was advised that the govern |
ment would take charge of the sick,
but that the state must provide for
the destitute who are well. Neigh

A Misrepresenaati Corrected

The Memphis Appeals Wash.
1ngton correspondent writes as fol
lows of the speech of Senator How
ell E.Jackson at GAINESVILLE inwhich
he asserted that a majority of the
the democratic leaders in Washing
are in sympathy with the Russell
movement:
To say that the speech has not
been well received by democrats
here is to put the case mindly. The
senator's attempt to impress his
hearers with the idea that leading
and prominent members of the
democratic party in Washington
recognized the boilers from the
June convention as the true democ-
racy, and that he went to Tennes-
see commissioned by them to raise
his voice for the defeat of the regu-
lar nominee of the party, is com
mented upon in terms anything but
complimentary to the senator's rep
utation for sincerity and fair deal
ing. The facts are exactly the re-
verse. Since the unfortunate and
unjustifiable split in the conven-
ton, l have seen and conversed
with hundreds of the most promi-
nent democrats in Washington, in
and out of congress, and ] have yet
to meet the first one who does not
deplore and condemn the attempt OF
ex-senator Bailey and his associ-
ateS to distract and divide the par
ty. 1t is known and understood
here, just as well as you under
stand it in Tennessee, that the
boilers have no hope of being able
to secure for Russell a respectable
vote-to say nothing of electing
him.

An Editors Opinion.

We are satisfied from what we sec
and hear that there is no proprietary
medicine on the market that is so popu-
lar and is doing so much good for suffer-
ing humanity as Warmers Safe Kidney
and Liver Cure. The testimonials pub
lished by this firm are a wonderi in their
way, each one having the autographs
signature of its author. This cOnclus-
lively proves them to be genuine and
that the parties giving them may be re-
lied upon. The demand Tor the rene
dies comes from ali parts of the country,
and the sales must be immense. While
we do not make practice of endorsing
proprietary medicines, we have no hes
itatsOn in recommending Warmers Safe
Kidney and Liver Cure because we
know it to be a good thing and that the
firm is composed of fair, square dealing
business men who never ego back" on
