HENRY WARD BEECHER's habit of
reading while travelling at railway speed,
says the Hartford Post, favors both his
eyes and his brain. He does not pore
over book constantly, but satisfies him
After reading not to exceed page and
a half, he drops the book into his lap,
and rests in reflection and window-gaz-
ing for few minutes before he resumes
his reading. This process of book
study is gone over with Uniform exact
ness. When he has enough inwardly
sdigested, " he goes into a doze till re-.
freshed, and bends to the book again.

GEN. ANDREW CALDWELL char
ges as one of the darkest deeds of
the Republican party that "they
corruptly decided their own law
suit in their own favor" in setting
aside the will of the majority and
putting Hayes into the Presidential
chair; he further says that "equal
justice to all, and special favors to
none," is a fundamental principle
of Democracy. Correct; this is
good, sound Democratic doctrine.
Now, what do the Readjusters pro-
pose to do? Just this, to "corruptly
decide their own lawsuit in their
own favor" inasmuch as they would
set aside the will of majority of
1900, as expressed in 1880, rob
their creditors against their protest
as expressed by their acts and
words, and pay to one man 1905
and to another 5O-3 ON exactly the
same kind of bonds.
Democracy cannot afford to do
this; true Democracy will not hear
to any such corrupt dealings, and
calls upon every true Tennessean to
sustain the settlement and vindicate
the good name of the State and the
party.

THE Hon. John w. Judd said i'm
his speech here last week, as report
ed in the American: 81 belong to
that class of Democrats who believe
that the State owes every dollar of
the debt and that she is able and
ought to pay it according to con-
tract. Those who know me will
believe me when | say that L have
never yielded this opinion"
Good fellow, brave fellow, to
stand up and hurl that honorable
truth squarely in the face of Bate
club, but then how cruelty such a
sentiment must have fallen on their
ears as they sat there, conscious of
the fact that they were aiding and
encouraging movement, the ulti-
nate end of which, if successful,
would be the absolute Reputation
OF this just debt.

FOREPAUGH's Circus and Me-

Monday, to the largest crowd of
the season. The street pageant was
the largest and most magnificent
we have ever witnessed The per-
formances, both in the afternoon
and at night, were largely attended
and universal satisfaction was ex-
pressed by all who attended. The
menagerie is the largest and most
complet eever seen here. The arenic
performances were especially fine,
the marvelously trained elephants,
the acrobatic and tight-rope exhi-
billions could not be beat. The
riding and backward somersaults of
Miss Rentz and the wonderful bicy-
Gle performance on the spiral stair
way by Leonati We're excellent
features. In short, the whole show
was unequalled in every feature.

in his moral nature by the extinc-
ton of those principles which he
lost when he violated his sacred
obligations.
Readjusterism may prevail, and
may, by forms OF law that cannot
be resisted, scale the debt and bully
the creditors into acquiescence;
and, grant that they may make it
treason for any Tennessean to inn
pugn the honesty of the transaction,
yet our fellow-men, the sisterhood
of States and all civilized govern
ments, viii sit in judgment, and
they will be the ''final and ultimate
judges" of how it affects the honor
of Tennessee.
The address of the Readjusters
says ito the 60-3-4-5-6 act no Demo-
crat should ever submit" The
burden of the address Is to show
that on its subversion depends the
rule of the people, and they say
that if defeated now "let the strug-
gle be renewed again and. again."
That is a proclamation that they
will not submit to the arbitrament
of the ballot-box, bnt every two
years will renew the strife which
has not only disrupted the Demo-
cratic party, but is so disastrous
to our State. We do not believe
that this sentiment will be APP
plauded by the intelligent and pa
triotic men of the Readjuster party.
The leaders may as well under
stand that the great interests of the
State cannot be perpetually immo-
lated upon the altar of their private
griefs and personal ambition. If
the verdict of the people is against
them they will be hurled from their
places of misused leadership and
the Democratic party reunited and
restored to its former power. with
its eScutcheon preserved by our ac-
ton from dishOnor, will resume its
guardianship over the destiny of
our beloved State.
State Credit Democrats, your
course is honorable and will
rebound to the ultimate good OF
your party and State. With the
hope of success in your hearts you
also have the proud consciousness
that even defeat in such cause
will be enshrined in glorious MEM
cries. Those who fell at Thermop-
ylae inspired by their example the
victors of Platea and SalamIs. The
heroic contest now waged, whether
the laurel crown or cypress wreath
awaits you. will be memorable in
the political annals of Tennessee,
and will be a shining precedent
whenever a majority of a party,
| miSIod INV ambitious n1nn onurnc
the cardinal principles of their po-
litical faith and squanders in one
mad hour the rich heritage of a
glorious past and become destroyers
of the prosperity and honor of the
State. ..-.

THE Hon. John w. Judd, OF
Springfield, came down last week
and addressed the Bate club, Of this
city. Mr.. Judd made an able
speech, a fine speech, but somehow
the "hurrah" boys didn't enthuse
over it as much as is their wont .
especially when he incidentally
touched upon the State debt ques-
ton, and said: 81 supported the
60-3-4-5-6, and OelieUe that IL should
be dHotCed TO stand nOl0. IhaUe not
and do not think 1 iCilt yield my Op1i-
ions on this subject"
1t is said, by some one who was
present, that there was a kind OF
guess we-have-fetched- down-the-
wrong-fellOw-lOok upon the faces
of the "hurrah" boys, when Judd
gave vent to this patriotic senti-
ment. 1t wasn't the sort of ortho-
dox doctrine they had gone there to
listen to, but then, you know, he
was tour guest and. Of course, we
had to grin and bear it," 1t was
too awfully too too funny.

TENNESSEE is able and willing

TENNESSEE is able and willing to
pay her debt. One hundred and
eighty thousand voters said in 1880
that the debt was just and due, and
sent representatives to the Legisla-
ture to settle it "upon the best
terms that could be obtained after
negotiation with our creditors.
The 6O-3-4-5-6 settlement is the best
terms that could be obtained. The
Legislature settled at these figures,
and now comes the Readjuster par
ty and seeks to nullify and destroy
the honorable compromise. See to
it, when you go to the polls on
Tuesday, that you vote for men
pledged to- uphold 1t. 1t will be
the greatest calamity that ever be-
fell Tennessee if this just, fair and
honorable settlement is disturbed.
Vote to let it stand.
