Gen. Bate, the regular Democratic
candidate for Governor of Tennessee,
in a recent speech strongly supported
the demand of the Democratic State
convention that only the State debt
proper should be paid in full, and that
the remainder should be scaled down.
Gen. Bate said that most of the bonds
were brought by the present holders at
thirty-hve to forty cents on the dollar;
that some of them were fraudulent that
the people had sound equities against
the railroad debt, and would never set.

would pay every dollar which was

A Small Fire.

Shortly before o'clock last evening
an alarm of fire pealed forth from the
City Hall, signal box No. II, at Third
street bridge, having been struck. The
fire was discovered TO be in the shaving
room, directly over or near the engine
room of the P, W & B. Railroad Com
pany's car shops, at Third street and
Railroad avenue. When the fire de-
partment arrived a large sheet of fire
was coming out of the sheet-iron venti.
lator and for a few minutes it was
thought serious fire vas raging in
side. The watchman, Arthur II. Chew,
who has been in the employ of the
company many years, had left the
building for few minutes, and was
within short distance when
he discovered the fire. He Immediately
ran back and applied the company's
hose with good effect. The fremen
went into service for q short time.
The damage will not exceed 500, which
is covered by insurance. 1t is not
known how the fire originated, but it is
it caught from an overheated |
chimney or spark. The south bound
express train was delayed short time

avenue side of the hotel building. Pat
rick j. Lynch is the engineer in charge
After banking his fires and seeing that
everything was in order in the engine
room, Lynch left the place at about
$50 o'clock yesterday morning and
went into the open air to cool off. In
less than half an hour, as he was de-
scendinR the cellar steps to return to
his post, one of the scrub. women hur-
riedly passed him, evidently on her
way from the sub. cellar. Although the
woman had no business there, Lynch
did not pay any attention to the incl
dent at the time. When he entered the
hre-room, however, he detected the
overpowering smell of burning flesh
originating apparently in the furnace.
Other persons employed in the hotel
also noticed the OdOr, and inquiry as to
its cause was set on foot. Lynch mean
while had opened the furnace door and
discovered bundle of what appeared
TO be old rags lying on top of the fire
In the furnace, where it was being rap
idly consumed. He pulled 1t out of the
furnace with fire hook, and as it lay
IN the floor he threw pale of water
over it, extinguishing the flames.
The bundle was opened and found to
contain the body of newly born male
'hild. At the sight of it the servant

'ngine room to learn the cause of the

Taxes In IIolIand.

Taxes in Holland, Mr.. Bird tells us,
are generally very high, and, it is clear,
are often very mischievous. Here they
might learn much from us. "There is
tax on every window, door, chimney,
servant, on every article OF
household furniture in use. One must
even pay for the privilege Of earning
ones daily bread, no man being permit
ted to carry on q profession, trade or oc.
cupation of any sort unless he obtains
what is called "patent." The poor
taxpayer has not even the satisfaction
OF having his taxes called for. He must
take the money to the collectors Office,
and often lose an hour or two while wait
ing till the great man can attend to him.
Should he be behind in the payment, one
or two hungry militiamen are quartered
IN his house at his expense until he has
cleared of his arrears. Two hundred
years ago boots and shoes, "those arti-
cles SO essential to human comfort, as
our author somewhat ncedlessly de-
scribes them, were not only taxed, but
were conspicuously marked on the up
per leather with the Government stamp.
Medical men have their fees fixed by
law, and fixed at low rate. TO make
mp for this, no druggist can sell the sim
plest mixtures unless the prescriptions
OF doctor be produced. If man is
suffering from headache or toothache,
though he may know of some remedy
which will give him relief ho cannot
procure it until he has consulted med
ical man. In some parts of Holland the
houses of the poorer Beers are but little
better than Irish cabins. "The family
live all together in one large room,
divided by wooden partitions, which
serves as parlor, kitchen and bedroom,
and is not unfrequently shared with a
COW or donkey" The bed is huge box,
filled with heather or seaweed,i and in
districts exposed to floods is often raised
to a height of six or seven feet above the
floor. In respect of cleanliness thes,
poor people are far superior to the Irish
Even if laborergets not more than los
a week, yet he, his wife and children
will be seen every Sunday respectfully
dressed and scrupulously clean" 1t is I
very common custom for the peasants tc
leave their wooden shoes outside the
doors of their cottages, so that they may
not carry the dirt inside. BY counting
the number of shoes it can be readily
seen how many people there are at any
one time in the house. Tile ,Satucia,
