The New York Commercial BuUe-
tin thinks that the enormous pre-
ponderance of English tonnage in
the Suez canal would, if nothing
else, justify the steps taken by the
British Government to maintain it's
integrity. OF 5,794, 401 tonnage pass
ing through that channel in 1881,
not less than 4,792,117 tons were
English. France only counts $780,
324, the Netherlands $4,000,
Austro- Hungary 115, 776, Italy 49,
252, Germany 59,515. The United
States does not seem to have used it
all. The English percentage of the
total tonnage at the period referred
to was 1912 per cent, ala it has
been steadily increasing ever since

POLITICAL ESsMENTs

The Economist of Boston, the best
monetary journal in this country,
gives Us the following as the results
of the spOils system of government:
All persons under government
pawn and about Boston have, during
the past month, received circulars
requesting them to contribute TO the
funds of the Congressional Cam
paign Committee not less than n
stated percentage of their salary.
All other government officers in the
country have been, or will soon be,
treated to the same kind of docu-
ments. The circular is so worded
As 10 leave the recipient uniformed
upon the vital point of the penalty
for negligence. This slight omis-
sion is the strong point in the paper.
We doubt if any of the Boston Gus
tom house officials will be brave
enough Ia face the possible removal,
which IN ght result from a refusal to |
comply with the request. The act |
i one which should be bounded by |
all respectable people. 1t is simply |

been paid extraordinary wages, to
whom arc we to look for the fault,
If MOTTO Congressman, and the party
which carries through the appro-
nriatiOns which are TO pay these
ofiiccrs2 And the question would
naturally come Why were these
men given such large salaries ? For
the purpose of perpetuating n GER

present majority?
The bad effect Of such a course
ON trade, on every branch of in
dustry. as we'll as on politics, is
easily seen. On the other hand, if :
.hese officers arc paid only in pro-
portion to the market value of their
abor, this tax is an imposition which c
; resolved to them into the alterna-
i've to taking n half loaf or none. :
The day is not far distant when the :

GEN. WlH B. BATE.

The Franklin ReUieiC and Journal
commends a perusal of the follow
ing facts in the life of Gen. VIM. b.
Bate:
"This invitation is also extended
to the young men of the State in
order that they may initiate the ex-
ample sc. and see what a glorious
and gallant gentleman the Demo
cracy of Tennessee have placed at
the head of the column. Before the
war by dint of hard struggle, he
accumulated a handsome property.
For men worth ten times as much
as he, and the very cream of the
wealth of a rich county, he signed
as security for thousands of dollars.
The cruel ravages of war ruined
them and him. While in the field
his property was confiscated and his
person covered with wounds. After
the surrender he went to Nashville
without a dollar in his pocket. Since
then he has made by his own labor
aud paid $50, 900 of security money,
rs the records of the Courts will
show. His friends plead with him
to take the bankrupt law, but in
vain. This pure and spotless gen.
tleman toiled on and paid every dol
lar of his own and these security
debts. This is noble example to
which we point with pride. He is
the very soul of honor, and his per-
sOnal record is rare and radiant.
Young men, come up to the help of
the party and its glorious nominee"

Hon. John Bright, in resigning
from the Gladstone Ministry because
of the position of the government
on the Egyptian question, but acted
in accordance with his principles.
Being a Quaker, he is opposed to
war at any time or under any cir
cumstances, and he verifes, as far
rs he is personally concerned, what
has been said of Beaconsfeld, Glad
stone and himself, viz; Beacons-
fields motto was peace with honor, ="
Gladstone's "peace with dignity"
and Bright's "peace on any terms. !"
Mr.. Bright may be too much of a
sentimentalist for this practical
worky-day world, but still he de-
serves credit for acting up to his
conscientious convictions,

Pulaski Citizen If we make q
republican victory possible in Ten
nessee under the vain hope that
they will carry out the state credit
principles, we may fl d ourselves
sadly left in the end, They are
doing exactly the opposite in Vir-
ginia. They are not sincere in
Tennes ee, but are doing it solely to
split their opponents and gain con-
troll. The Democratic party is GO
ing to attend to this matter in the
end and we had better stick to it
and be in at the wake. The Re-
publicans are as likely to take an
opposite shoot when it becomes
necessary for them to do so to win,
and to aid the now is simply to give
them power to do exactly what we
do not wish done.

SEVENTEENTH ANNUAL. MEET
ING OF TIE STATE TEACH
Frs TTON OF
TENNESSEE.

THURSDAY AND FRIDAY, AUGUST IL
AND Is, 1882, AT YOUNGSTOWN.
So far, the following named per-
sons are to address the association,
to-wit: A. III. Gregg, Mayor OF
Morristown, will deliver the address
of welcome, which will be respond
ed to by the President, DIR. VIM. A.
Smith, of Columbia. Rev. Prof J..
G. Miller, A. NJ, will address the
association on the subject-"Our
Schools" Judge Turner S. Foster,
of Nashville, will deliver an address
on Educated Labor" Prof Frank
Goodman, of Knoxville, will present
the subject of writing in our COM
mon schools. Prof J. w. COnger,
of Humboldt, will deliver one of his
interesting addresses. Rev. G. c.
Rankin, ID. D., of Knoxville, will
present the subject of "Morals and
Religion in the School" Mrs. l..
c. French, of Knoxville, one of
Tennessee's best Elocutionists, Col.
S. II. Lockett, of the University OF
Tennessee, besides many other able
educators who have been invited
and will doubtless be present and
take part in the meeting. The
committee on music is as follows
Rev. Prof Geo. H. Cox, Miss Lillian
Brown, Mr.. n. r. Stubblefeld, Miss
Mary L. Andes and Rev. Prof J.
C. Miller.
AS all the arrangements have not
been completed it is impossible to
give the full programme until our
next issue. We clip the following
from Go0dman'S Business Messenger,
which shows there is much interest
being taken in the meeting:
"THE GAZETTE, with it's usual en-
terprise, will 10 what it can toward
promoting the interest of the State
Teachers Association, and we feel
satisfied that all who attend the
Association at Morristown will feel
that it was good for them to have
been there.
By all means, we say, have the
music, for without the presence of
the ladies and the music to enliven
the occasion, it will be a dry, I'M
profitable affair, so by all means see
that the ladies are present and take
part in the exercises.
The President, DIR. VIM. A. Smith,
of Columbia, has already sent circu-
lar letters to the members of the
Executive Committee and is making
all the necessary arrangements. He
has also appointed Superintendent
w. L. Jones, of Jefferson county, as
First vice President, to fill the va
cancy caused by the death of DIR.
w. S. DOak.
Superintendent II. NJ. Sherwood,
of Hamblen county, has been ap-
pointed on the Executive Commit
tee in place of Prof Scott Murray,
of Memphis, deceased.
We came near forgetting to note
that Maj. John w. Paulett, Chair
man of the Executive Committee, is
working like a "Major" to make the
meeting a success.
We have quite recently visited
Morristown, and mingled with her
citizens and find they are much in
terested in the meeting of the Asso-
citation"
