Some Outspoken Statements OF Great

Ing
When the people Of America become so
thoroughly aroused, and on a subject of
such serious Importance as the preservation
OF their lives and health, It is but natural
that the ones who have been largely instru-
mental in the origin of this movement
should speak frankly and directly to the
people most interested. Ii Is for this rea-
son that we thus come before the public
and make the following revelations:
Every careful observer who has sought to
keep pace with the march OF events has
noted the alarming increase of certain
peculiar physical troubles within the past
few years. These troubles have come at
unexpected moments and In most
treacherous way. They have manifested
themselves In innumerable forms, but they
have always had the same cause. They

kindly aided by giving recitations
in both the first and second
parts. She was introduced in very
graceful style by General Gordon, and
at once riveted the attention Of the
audience. She responded to a hearty
encore in each part, and each time the
applause seemed to be warmer than
before. Miss Lizzie McClelland and
Mrs. Lamb, who are always favorites,
sung their respective parts with the
utmost delicacy and clearness. The

THE Avalanche, which recently
supported the 100 3 act, minus the
coupon feature, now demands the Gre
alton of commission TO sift the debt
and see what the State really owes
This seems more like an after thought
than consistent position. When the
act 10 question was pending, our Co.
temporary did not demand such a
commission, but conceded that the
State owed as much as 1908.
Whence the new light on this
suhject2 Now, we do not
object to the commission pro-
posed, provided the people cannot
get at the question any other way, and
that settlement at something like
50-3 is not secured. But the Ava
lanche is rather late in adopting this
line ofthought, and not at all original.
A bill providing for the appointment
Of a Commission for this very purpose
was introduced in the Legislature in
the spring Of 1879, aud was published
in one or more Of the Memphis papers
The Avalanche failed to commend it at
the time. but waited three years, and
now adopts the idea just at a time when
there is prospect that the Demo
cratic party may get together and bring
about a reasonable settlement of the
State debt. If all else fails, however, we
will not object to the plan proposed.
Any business man can take the Comp
trOller's reports and other documents
containing history of the State debt
and eliminate the war interest and in.
terest compounded on that, allow
other equities and get close at what
the State should undertake to pay.
This will approximate sos, probably
falling below that rate. We have
nothing to fear from commission
composed of intelligent, fair minded
men. At present, hover, we see no
immediate necessity for it.

Free Rations,

There was no necessity for issuing
rations by the government to anybody
in Tennessee. Mr.. H. M. Jamas has
been appointed to distribute certain
rations apportioned to this State. A
depot has been established on Front
Row, and negroes are rushing in on
nearly all the roads from the country
to claim their share. One man, we'll
known to a merchant here to have q
family of only one wife and one child,
claimed to have nine in family. Being
told that he might just as we'll claim
little more and get something worth
while, he concluded that he could
count fifteen in his family. We know
prosperous merchant and farmer in
this county who has been trying for
some time to get hands to work on his
place in the country at eight dollars
per month and their board. The few
he could induce to go out only worked
long enough to get we'll filed with
victuals and then give him the jump.
These are the classes that
leave all work and hang around
for free rations. Work is the last
thing they want. There are no Ten
nessee sufferers except those too lazy to
work and too thriftless to take care Of
what little they do make when driven
by necessity to do little work, There
is not an overflow five miles wide in
Tennessee unless it is in some unset
tied canebrake in the Mississippi river
counties. 1t will take months to dis
abuse the minds of colored people in
regard to free rations It unfortunate
that any were sent for disbursement in
this State. This has been done at the
expense of the real sufferers down the
river, who are cut of from the world,
and helpless, destitute and at the
mercy of the flood.
