A Valuable Book.

We have received through the pub
fishers, the Fireside Publishing Co,
Phila., a large volume of 1888 pages,
bound and printed in the very best
library style, entitled american Poll
tics" 1t embodies history of all the
political parties, with their views and
records on all important questions
great speeches of all the great men for
the past century on all great issues; the
text of all political laws; tabulated
history of American politics SO that
every event or fact in the whole history
of the country may be found instanter
and complete analysis aud statement
OF the departments, the duties and
component parts, by Hon. Thos. v
Cooper and Hector 7. Fentin, esq'r, OF
Philadelphia. 1t is the completest
book we ever saw and is absolutely in
valuable to any one who wishes TO keep
up with the history of the country and
be cOnversant with politics and parties
The great purpose to be subserVed Is
embodied in its dedication: Respect
fully Dedicated to the Proposition that
all American Citizens should take an
Interest in Public Affairs" 1t may be
ordered from the publishers, and nc
politician can afford to dc without it.

The widow of the noted outlaw, since
the removal" of her husband, has been
SO beseiged by reporters and publishers
that in self-prOtection she has been
compelled to publish a sworn statement
denying that she has authorized the
use OF her name in connection with any
pretended history of her husbands life.
In this connection it may not be out
OF place TO suggest that persons desir-
ing to get at the facts in the lives OF all
the great American highwaymen would
do well to examine Col. j. w. Buels
famous Border Outlaws" which has
just been revised and new edition
published from new plates throughout

dorsement is no settlement and
should not be attempted. Its ex-
pense is of small moment when we
consider the vast good that might
be accomplished. This need not
exceed $4,000, for 81 per day for
SO members and pay for the at
tachees and printing. The con
vention of 1870 was only about 80
DAYS in duration. That the conven-
ton would vacate the offices is too
absurd to think of. There was a
reason for it in 1870, the offices
having been all filled when the white
people were generally disfranchised.
If an ordinance so unwise and out
rageous should be passed now 1t
would be fatal to the whole instru-
ment, because the united influence
of all the officials of the state would
be brought to bear against it. Ii
the debt is settled by constitu-
tional convention, let the ordinance
of settlement be referred separate
and distinct for ratification, so that
it would not prejudice or be preju-
diced by any other.
One word now in regard to the
district meetings and county con-
vention: Every democrat who de
sires success in the approaching
election and appreciates the neces-
sity of harmony should refrain from
any discussion whatever of the 6O-t
act or of the state debt in any way
No good can possibly result by agi
tating this question either at the
district meetings or conventions
At the district meetings select dis
Greet, prudent and thoughtful men,
and let them at the county con
vention select the same character O
men-men who are representative
men and who will endeavor to reflect
the wishes of the people they repre-
sent-for the convention at Nash
vile, and all will be well. Be or
hand at your district meetings mex
Saturday at 2 o'clock and be coo
and considerate and l repeat, al
will be WE'LL CONSERVATIVE.

ON the question before arriving at
that conclusion.
So after all that is one OF the
questions that the people will have
to decide, whether they can afford
to pay ten cents on the hundred
dollars to settle this debt, or let it
remain unsettled. That ten cents,
you know, would buy one drink of
mean whisky, or two common
cigars, or a paper of pins. The
supreme court has decided that one
legislature 'can't bind another.
You see it is all left with the people
now whether they will agree to pay
that ten cents on the hundred
dollars. The fellow who has not
got the hundred dollars worth of
taxable property it is true don't
have to pay that ten cents, but his
sympathies are terribly aroused for
the unfortunate one who has 1t,
because it is claimed that the tax Will
sell US into slavery. Now it does
look like if we are worth anything
at all we will be dead cheap at that
price, and wish to call attention to
the fact that there may be room for
fine speculation just at that point.
1t is said furehermore that there
is a principle involved in this ques-
ton. but | have seen it stated on
the contrary that there is no princi-
pie in it. How that is, it is for the
people to determine. But one thing
is very evident, and that is that we
have not had enough principle to
pay the interest, and we have never
had enough interest in it to pay the
principal, and now cant we reason
ourselves into the conclusion that
there is no principal or interest
either in this question, and get rid
of the whole thing that way? Isn't
there something in that?
Another thing to be determined
by the people in their sovereign
capacity is whether they will accept
the gift of about thirteen millions oil
principal and interest of the debt,
or shall we give it back to oul
creditors, and tell them we prefer
large debt to a small one. 1t would
seem that if we are as poor as some
people say we are it ought to have
something to do in determining thai
question.
Finally, all of these questions arr
in the hands of the people and they
can determine them for themselves
and whatever they do 1 am witt
them-if think it is right-for
am one of the PEOPLE.

The World says the young man who
reported the hanging here was conscien-
tious, etc, and had as fair an Opportu-
nifty as the CITIZEN to get at the facts.
Certainly he had and he ought TO have
availed himself OF his opportunities.
III he had seen and told how that the
rope was slipped by the prisoner him
self the uninst censure that has been
heaped upon the sheriff never would
have been uttered. We do not accuse
the young man OF wanton misrepre-
sentaEion. IL was carelessneSs, and
a. VS. before stated, the train carried
him away In = few minutes after the
execution and he did not have time to
hear others opinions, not to get other
facts that came TO light later. The
World ought TO correct the wrong i'm

columns.

To THE CITIZEN act recent
" passed by the legislature to settle
the state debt is virtually a PROPOSE
tion to both creditor and debtor
to settle, and its acceptance by the
former depends largely upon the
indications shown in its favor by
the latter. Certainly no intelligent
bond holder will fund his bond at
90 per cent. unless he believes the
interest will be promptly paid. He
is powerless to collect and must de-
pend upon the action of each legis-
lature for the payment, which of
course viii act as the people desire.
Without the sanction or approval
of the people, therefore, the new
bonds would share the same fate Of
the old. / don't know how the peo-
pie Of the state regard this law out
side of Giles county, but to take
Giles as a test the opposition is
certainly overwhelming-not so
much to the law per Sc as to the
manner of its passage. 1t was done
in direct opposition to the wishes
and instructions of their constitu-
ents. The whole movement db initio
was speculative and political
speculative on the part of the few
bond-holders making the PROPOSE
ton, and political on the part of the
governor ct ID genus oHaSe, in making
it into law. Now it is said that
most of the bond-holders making
the proposition have disposed of
their bonds, having accomplished
their ends. And indications point
pretty clearly to the fact that the
other party are in a good way of
accomplishing theirs-viz: the dis
ruption of the democratic party and
the reelection of Gov. Hawkins and
the supplanting of Gov. Harris in
the u. s. senate by republican or
"Mahone" man. This act is q
most unfortunate one just now to
every interest except the immediate
interest Ct the republican party.
The success of this party-guber-
Materially at least-in the present
canvass is almost assured. The
democratic party, and the creditor
especially, must suffer. No act, but
that of direct Reputation itself,
would more efectually strengthen
the Reputation sentiment. The
only hope, in my opinion, of democ-
racy and the bond-holder is in united
action at the convention at Nash
vile. That it can harmonic upon
the support of the law, there can be
no hope, nor is it possible for united
action against it. The only possible
chance for harmony is to entirely
ignore the question and passively
relegate it to the next legislature
fresh from the people, or relegate 1t
to a constitutional convention al
ready provided for, and thereby
eliminate it from the gubeFnstorial
and legislative canvass, and let the
contest be in the election of dele
gates thereto. If this course is
adopted a democratic, governor, q
democratic legislature, democratic
senator u congress and q demo
cratic electoral vote il 1854 will all
be assured: and if a united action
is not effected, then all these viii be
lost TO democracy. And in addition
to these, 4 settlement viii be effected
that will stand becspse it will be
done constitutionally and must haye
the sanction or ratification of the
people, and it viii then be their act.
The objection to constitutional
convention, that no settlement made
by it would be ratified, is Of no force
because one made without their en-

THE RATE OF TAXATION.

Without going into calculation
as 20 what it will take to meet the
interest, we viii just look back to
see what has been the taxes for
some years past, and if that history
does not give US a criterion to go
bv on that question it is certainly
useless to dwell on idle speculations.
The legislature of 1877 put the
tax down from 40 cents to 10 cents
to run the state Government and
10 cents for schools, making 20
cents for both. This is very recent
history. This was the rate of taxa
ton until the 1908 was passed in
1881, and yet the government was
carried on with this ten cent state
tax and the small privilege tax that
was collected, or at least we have
never heard of the wheels of govern
ment being stopped for want of
money. The legislature in 1881
put the tax back at 40 cents, allow
ing 10 cents for school tax as be
fore, ten cents to run the state
government and 20 cents to pay the
interest on the state debt. The 40
cent tax has only been collected for
one year, and yet the treasurer re
ported to the last called session of
the legislature that there was $64S,-
600 in the treasury, with some out
standing warrants against that
amount, leavipg:albalance of between
five and six hundred thousand pet,
being enough TO pay the two irst
installments of interest on the late
compromise, with something to
spare. This would seem to be the
best criterion to go by in determin-
ing the amount Of tax that viii be
required. The last called session
of the legislature placed the tex
back at thirty cents on the hundred
dollars, allowing ten cents for
schools as before, and ten cents to
run the state government and ten
cents to pay the interest on the
state debt. The legislature sup
posed that tax would be sufficient,
and suppose they consulted with
the state officers and got their views
