the FALSE CRY or THE MAJORITY. "

The Murfreesboro News, which
while under the editorial charge OF
the gifted Baskette, stood up
bravely and manfully, and fought
the good fight for State-credit and
State honor, but which, since his
retirement a few weeks ago, has
forgotten the true principles of De-
mOcracy for which he so forcibly
and ably employed his pen, is even
now, while pandering we fear, to
the popular passions and prejudices
of the hour, forced to say that it
thinks the COG settlement Of the Uer-
ed question a. fair and just one, but a
large majority of the Taxpayers of
the State are opposed to it,"
All, how weak and indefensible
is the position of that man who be-
Iieves his cause is right and just,
but who sacrifices the principle up
on which he arrives at such belief
simply because others think differ
emily.
Weak indeed, we say, are the
convictions of such men, but in this
instance they have not even such
an excuse, for it is almost impossi-
BILE to find a man who is not, per-
sonally and individually, if we are
to believe them, heartily, in favor
of the COS settlement. If men are
SO universally, as individuals. in
favor of it, where then do you find
''the large majority that is OPP
posed to it?"
All, the cry is false; it does not
exist. The people have been mis-
lead by designing politicians and
demagogues to believe in this i'm
aginary, this incorporeal and in
tangible "majority" which these
false leaders claim are opposed to
the present settlement.
No, the people are not opposed to
the settlement. They are tired and
sick of the agitation and would
gladly let it stand, as they claim. 1t
is the false leaders who have raised
this cry of "the majority" and il
Tennessee is finally led to repudia-
ton, dishonor and disgrace, upon
their heads should fall the wrath
and ignominy OF. an outraged peo-

WHY is Mr.. Milliken so solicit
tous, to judge from his speeches,
that the penitentiary at Nashville
should be removed from it's present
site ?" Is it because he may some
day become a resident of our -four
ishing Capital and that the peniten-
tiary is regarded as an eye-sore and
nuisance by the citizens of that city.
There il no doubt but that the Leg
islator who makes himself an active
factor in furthering the plans to
remove the penitentiary from the
corporate limits of Nashville, would
make himself UNNECESSARILY pOpu-
lar with the citizens of that grow
ing metropolis, but then it strikes
US, the work more properly belongs
to the representatives of the people
of Davidson county.

Tired of Life.

The Nashville Banner gives a
brief account OF the attempted sui
eide, at st. Louis, on Monday, of
j. ID. Voltz, some years ago a tele-
graph operator and train dispatcher
of the l.. d N. railroad, in this CITY
and well-knOwn to many of our
citizens. Since he left here he has
lived number of years at Nash
vile, but more recently at st. Louis.
The Banner says:
On Monday last j. d. Voltz, tele-
graph operator at st. Louis, formerly
of this city, talked over the wires
to his friends in this office, and DUR
ing the conversation, mentioned
that he was tired of life. Soon after
he went to his room on Washington
avenue and drew a razor across his
throat. VOltz is forty-three years
of age, a widower and chiIdless. He
has been out of employment for
some time, and had been drinking
heavily. AT the time of his rash
attempt he was suffering from an
attack of delirium tremens. He
stated to the hospital attendant
that he had got so low, that he was
tired of life. VOltZ's life is we'll in
sured.

To the Voters Of Montgomery County,!

inst, to represent said county in the
lower house of your next Legislature,
/ accept the nomination, and issue this
circular as the only means in my
power of having any communication
with you 1 stand square upon the
Greenback Labor platform both State
and National, and if elected will use
all honorable means to carry out the
principles enunciated by the party TO
the letter. | shall endeavor to remove
the so-called State debt from the
shoulders of the people and placs it
upon the railroads, where it justly and
righteously belongs, except the State
debt proper, which shall be submitted
to the people for their ratification. A
few reasons why / am a Greenbacker:
Although in the minority the Green
back Labor party has educated the
people upon the finance and currency
question more than both the old par,
ties combined. 1t is in favor of equal
rights before the law for the rich and
poor alike; it teaches that the wealth
and not the poverty of the country
should be taxed; it teaches that no
species of property to be protected by
law should be exempt from taxation
but all be taxed in proportion to the.
protection given; it teaches the gospel
to do unto others as you would that
others do unto you. 1t has captured
the Vice President of the United
States, as well as the Vice President of
The once Confederate States, in addi-
lion to hosts of the strongest men in
every State III the Union. These are
only few of the reasons why am q |

Death of Judge W. u. Humohrers.


The distinguished jurist, whose
name heads this notice, died on
Monday evening last, at the resi-
dence of his son-in-law, Capt. John
w. Morton, near Nashville, Tenn.
in the 77th the year of his age. He
was the son of Judge Parry w.
Humphreys, famous in the early
Judicial annals of the State, and
brother of the late Judge Robert w.
Humphreys, of this city. The Ban
ner says of him:
The deceased had long occupied a
position of prominence as a member
OF the legal profession, and was as
well known as any public man in
the State. He commenced the
practice OF law in 1928, was men,
Der OF the constitutional convention
OF 1884, afterwards Representative
in the Legislature, in 1889 elected
A Acknowledgement and Reporter of
the decisions of the Supreme Court.
in which position he continued until
1851. Two years later he was ap-
pointed by President Pierce, United
States District Judge, which he
held until the breaking out of the
war between the states, when he
went South and remained until the
close OF that eventful period. AS a
reporter and Acknowledgement he
made himself famous, and Humph-
reys' reports will continue to be
quoted for generations to come. In
his death the State lost one of her
most able jurists, and the profession
one OF Its most honored members. .
Many years ago Judge Humph-
reys practiced his profession in this
city and was known to many of
our older citizens. He has relatives
yet living i'm this city.

THE editor of the Jackson Tri-
bune and Sun, in a short editorial
on the disinterested patriotism
of the editors of the present
day, says: 1.-THE editor of the
future will be different sort OF
a person. lie will be independent
In all things, and will enlist his pen,
as an orator does his tongue, on the
most promising side of political ques-
'ions." All, indeed, and this then
explains why the Tribune and Sun
now advocates the cause of Read
Justerism. We have long wondered
what caused the late flop of the Tri-
bune and Sun, and the editor now,
unwittingly doubtless, tells why.
And this is the reason you now adj
vOcate Readjusterism, Ell? Oh, for
shame, and is there no principle in
the matter?

upper deck of her barge famed with
gold; the sails were purple and in

of gold was raised upon the deck,
under which appeared Cleopatra,
robed like Venus, and surrounded
with the most beautiful virgins of
her court, some of whom represents
ed the Nereids and others the Ora
ces. Instead of trumpeters were
heard futers, hautbOys and harps,
and other instruments of music,
breathing the s0ftest airs, TO
which the oars kept time, and
rendered the harmony more
agreeable. Perfumes burned on the
deck, which spread their odors to o
great distance. AS soon as her arri-i

THAT staunch old journal, the
Nashville Daily American, is now
being issued from its new and en-
larged press in an eight page form.
1t gives us pleasure to note this
great evidence of prosperity on the
part of a journal which has long
been one of the fixed institutions of
the South, and an honor and monu-
ment to southern journalism. A
cursory glance at its well-edited and
newsy pages, as well as its wonder
full advertising patronage, is enough
to assure one of. the high regard,
confidence and popularity with
which 1t is now being received by a
large and rapidly increasing circle
of readers. The American is a
newspaper par excellence.

WHAT if this settlement is dis
rupted and continued in the politics
of the State? 1t is increasing at the
rate of one million eight hundred
thousand dollars annually. Are
the people willing to let it so in
crease? Don't it seem under these
circumstances the wretched policy
of doing nothing ought to end. We
appeal to you in the name of COM
mon sense to look this question
squarely in the face as you would
plain business proposition of your
own. The election of any man
Governor or to the United States
Senate has nothing to do with it.
Let men go to Hades, but vote to
let the debt settlement stand and
remove the Internal question from
the politics of the State. The man
who would break up this settle
ment, with no prospect or hope OF
getting anything better or even as
good, is an enemy to the State and
the people of Tennessee.
