he should rest in peace, and that his
memory should be held sacred. But
this is not so. The same men who
in his lifetime were denouncing him
as infamous, knowing the hold
that he had on the affections of the
people, would willingly, if they could,
pursue him to the grave and rob
him of the great popularity he SO
Justly deserved.
Hence we now see some of them
engaged in an effort. to show that
Mr.. Garfield was mere ''puppet" in
the hands of Mr.. Blaine,
who used him to accomplish
his own selfish ends. This
is done by the late Presidents enc
mies-done to bring reproach upon
him. 1t is mean and contemplate, ii
is wickedly malicious and is less hon
orable than the warfare made against
him in the late Presidential campaign
by the Democrats when they sought
to show that he was personally dis
honest.

Mark Twains "Flattest and Worst
,IOkp

The author, a noted representative
of American humor, has essayed to
achieve q serious book. The conse-
quences are at once disastrous and
amazing. The volume, which deals
with England in the days Of Edward
VI, and is announced as "A Tale for
Young People of all Ages" is only
to be described as some four hundred
pages of careful tediousness, miti-
gated by occasional flashes of unin-
territorial and unconscious fun. Thus
Mr.. Clemens, who has evidently been
reading history, and is anxious about
local color, not only makes a point of
quoting documents, and parading
authorities, and being fearfully in
earnest, but does so with look of
gravity and an evident sense of res
possibility that are really delicious.
On the whole, however, of Mr.. Glen
enss many jokes, '"The Prince and
the Pauper" is incomparably the fiat
test and worst. To this, as a general
reflection, it may be added chat if to
convert a brilliant and engaging
humorist into a dull and painful 70
mancer be necessarily a function of
the study of history, it cannot be too
steadily discouraged.-The Athen-
Bum.

1T is an unpleasant fact but never
theless a fact, that there are men
actively engaged in politics in this
country, who, if they could, would
willingly desecrate the grave of the
late lamented President Garfield,
and blacken his memory if possible.
1t is an open secret that he did not
relinquish the privileges Of his high
Office to members of Congress in
every case, and that he committed
the objectionable sin of entertaining
opinions as to the functions of his
office, and exercised these functions
in his own way. In not yielding to
the arbitrary demands of Senators
and members of Congress, he made
enemies, and We know of Cons
gressmen who readily prophecied
that his name would "go down to
everlasting infamy.'
One would think, now that the
martyr President is in his grave,
that these men would be willing that

EX-Secretary Eyarts' Daughter.

A daughter of ex Secretary Evarts
made herself a favorite in WashingS
ton society, not alone by her snowy
complexion, gray-blue eyes and gold
en- hair, but as we'll by her cups of
chocolate The Mexican minister
used to say that in his own land no
beverage was so delicious. It was
made of the best already swe atened
chocolate, broken and placed in a
warm spot to melt. When after-
ward put into farina kettle boiling
milk was poured upon it, and from
the moment when the first drop of
milk touched it until it was done it
was stirred. It was allowed to boil
for several minutes, and when it was
served in delicate cups it was thick
and almost jelly like, and was capped
with whipped cream.

Our Maryville Letter.
MARYvILLE, Jan. 8, 108:

Mr.. EDITOR: I hope that my lets
ter of the 9Th inst. will not be con-
strued as drawing comparison
between our new chairman of the
County Court and the retiring chair
man. What was said concerning Mr.
McBath I repeat, but I would not be
understood as casting any reflections
on Mr.. Hinton, who retires. Quite
the contrary, he has enforced some
thing of systematic order of bust
ness has kept as good order In court
as we ever see in County Court
may say, little better. In addition
to this, during his administration the
county has paid for new and ele-
giant courthouse, model of archi-
tectural beauty. Still more,
our County warrants are as good
as gold, A few years ago
warrants were selling at from sixty
to eighty cents on the dollar, and hard
to get off at that. Last Saturday
one of our citizens got his warrant
from the clerk, walked across the
hall and drew the mouey from the
trustee. The first time such.a thing
has happened since the war! Now,
the trustee will cash all warrants,
and he is glad to get to do it. This
has come about under Mr.. Hinton S
administration. He has been faith
full and vigilant, and the county is
indepted to him for his efficient labors
in her behalf.
But the county has an excellent
court. 1t occurs to the writer that
the County Court system ought
to be abolished, that it is great,
cumbersome, unwieldy affair,
suited to the early settlement
of our State, but now if we had a
Probate Court, or county Judge,
with or without associate justices, it
would better suit our present con-
dition and state of affairs; but while
the present system lasts, which must
be as long as we have the present
constitution, Blount County will do
well, SO far as possible, to retain the
present members of the County
Court.
If the railroad bonds were out OF
the way, Blount would not only be
on the high way to prosperity, but
she would be right there.

NEW YORK BOSSES.

Some of the unfriendly criticisms
which have appeared in the newspa~
pers on the late Postmaster General
since he retired from office, must
appear little strange outside of New
York. We say outside Of New York,
because the politics of that State
are an enigma, understood
nowhere outside of the
State. Mr.. James is harshly crit
icised because he consented to enter
Garfeld's Cabinet and again because
he did not tender his resignation
when Conkling and Platt kicked
themselves out of the Senate. Mr..
Conkling had decided that Hon. l..
2. Morton should be Secretary of
the Treasury, and he determined to
bulldoze President Garfield into
making the appointment, The
President determined to Sc
lect his Secretary of the Treasury
outside of New York. Then Mr.
Conkling resolved that no other New
York man should accept position
in the Cabinet, and when Mr.. James
did accept, it was said by the New
York '!bosses" that he event in at
the back door" Now they say that
he Jumped out at the window" and
he is being soundly abused.
His crime consists in having acted
without the consent of "boss.' In
New York politics, this is very
grave offense To be man of note
in the politics Of that State, one
must be q ''boss," Or the servile tco]
of some "boss." It is a peculiarly
of the politics of that great State
A man who exercises independent
thought, and acts according to his
intelligent convictions, is unworthy
of confidence according to the
standard Of those who are determ.
ined to rule or ruin. This spilit
is not confined to any party, but mar
ifests itself in the methods of all
parties and factions. A man who
does as he is told to do and asks nc
questions, is the man who succeeds
The man who asks why and where
fore is a troublesome fellow, and is
sure to incur the displeasure of those
who run the machine
There are politicians outside OF
New York who sometimes appear in
the role of bosses, but bossism
does not flourish anywhere apparent
ly as it does in New York. The peo-
pie outside of that State do not APP
pear to be educated to ityet. There
are few States in the Union that em>
brace in their population men big
enough to dictate to all their fellow
citizens as to what offices they may
hold and who they shall vote for.
Postmaster General James was not
near large enough to act without q
guardian.

We commend to those who look on
the dark side the following:
Taking the movement on two
New York roads as fair test of the
volume of business done, we find
that there was great increase, even
during the period Of panic and pros
trat:on. From 1871 to 1876 the
increase was 50 per cent. in five
years. Though fortunes were lost,
and business was bad, and thousands
Of merchants ceased to ship goods,
and hundreds of mills and factories
ceased to produce articles to be
shipped, nevertheless the increase in
quantities of products moved was
more than three times the increase
in population. Even after 1876, as
all know, the depression in business
continued very great, and the losses
and failures were enormous. But
the productive industry of the coun-
try was at no time paralyzed. Com
merce continued to expand with
remarkable rapidity. There was an
increase of more than 20 per cent. in
the traffic of the two roads between
1879 and 187S-the year of lowest
prices and greatest disaster. But
after that year wonderful advance
commenced, which has still continued.
The increase from 1876 to 1881, only
five years, WAS over ~ per cent.
In view of this surprising growth,
there is surely little reason to take a
gloomy view of the situation. In
deed, the only fear is that the growth
of business has been too rapid, so
that some pause or reaction may be
necessary before the advance can be-
gin again. But a nation which in
creases its business ~ per cent. in
five years has little cause to be dis
turbed, oven if some reaction does
come.

Hon. Jefferson Davis was in the

A good many newspapers in the
county seem to be acting upon the
old adage, that "a lie we'll stuck to is
as good as the truth" A false story
gained circulation to the effect that
ex-President Hayes declined to SUBJ
scribe anything to the Garfield mon
ument fund. The falsehood was cor
rected, but the truth has not
caught up with the lie yet
and newspapers unfriendly to Mr..
Hayes are making it the pretext for
denouneing him as mean, stingy,
grasping and all that sort of thing.
some of them revive the theory long
since exploded, that he was a fraud
ulent President. 1t is the nature of
some men, we may say, q great many
men, to find fault, and especially to
find fault with q man who
has retired from office. Mr. Hayes
administration was not, in our opin-
ion above criticism, but it was fair
average administration, and history
will record very little in it for grave
censure. The New York Sun and
journals of that class are not expect
ed to be pleased with the course of
Mr.. Hayes or any other high official

SPEAKER KEIFER is pay ing the pen
atty of greatness. 1t has rarely fell
to the lot of any Speaker of the
House of Representatives to be so
generally abused far the make up of
the standing committees of the
House as has Speaker Kiefer. He
is denounced by Democrats and by
Republicans. Judge Orth,
it will be remembered
openly attacked the Speaker
last week. The Chicago Tribune
comes to us with column editorial
on Keiferism," of which the follow
ing paragraph is specimen:
II all the members of both parties
in the present House who feel sense
of personal injustice would unite
with those who, without cause for
personal resentment, still believe
that Mr.. Refers selection of the
committees was based on an i'm
proper allotment of rewards for
personal service, a resolution of
censure might be passed which
would either compel Keller to resign
or leave him in the most humiliating
attitude before the country. We are
not sure but his offense against
propriety and the public welfare has
been serious enough to warrant this
extreme treatment.
No speaker has ever given perfect
satisfaction in the appointment of
standing committees, and no one
ever will, we presume. We presume
that Speaker Keifer has given as
general satisfaction as most of
speakers. But this dissatisfaction
viii doubtless, sooner or later, result
in changing the method of selecting
the committees, so that it will be
done by the whole House instead OF
by the speaker.
