Th0rnburgh's Protest.
Chicago Tribune.

The Republican Congressional
committee Is having bad year of it,
what with leVying political assess
ments and interfering in local fights
III which their advice is not sought
nor desired Houk, Of Tennessee,
who, unless he is greatly belied by
common report and the assertions of
his constituents, would better adorn
a Washintonian Home than a home
IN Washington during the sessions
Of Congress, is Ii member of the com
mittee, and has secured its support
in his struggle for re election,
the commmittee even inter-
esting itself in the matter
to the extent of sending to Houk' s
help some OF the money raised by
voluntary contribution from the
clerks and errand- boys in the depart
ments. The result has been to call
forth very energetic protest from
ex-Congressman Thornburgh, CHAIR
MAD OF the Republican commit tee
OF the Second Tennessee district, on
behalf OF the anti Houk Republicans
OF the district, who, being in the
majority, have undertaken to decide
for themselves who shall represent
that district in Congress. The
national committee is politely but
firmly requested to mind it's own
business and keep its hands off and
money out of the Second Tennessee
district.

attempt to explain, but his explana-
tons have been wholly unsatisfac~
tory.
How has he met them Simply by
saying you're another" Instead of
attempting to clear himself he has
tried to iniure and destroy the good
name of those who make the charges.
He says his competitor is guilty OF
the same crimes with which he is
charged. This he knows is lie.
He attacks Captain John W. Andes.
He attacks Rev. J. A Ruble. In
Blount County he attacked j. A. God
dard and j. nj. Greer He intends
to cover over with his slime and
filth every man who dares to speak
the truth about him. We under
stand that he and his friends are
threatening to turn loose their food
gates of filth upon Col. ]. d. Thorn
burgh for daring to write the
truth in his letter to D. B. Hene
derson, the secretary of Hubbells
committee. Colonel Thornburgh is
abundantly able to take care of
himself, and al ways does it when
necessity requires
Now, we appeal to thinking, intel
iigent, dispassionate men if this is a
proper way to meet and refute such
charges. Is man worthy of public
confidence who can give no better
answer than this Is not such a
course a confession on Houk's part
that he is guilty? He lies about
these things in words, but by his
acts pleads guilty.

The Harvest Moon.
Providence journal

The September moon fill on the
9th at 1926 a. M. It is the beautl
ful harvest moon, and possesses
special claims to distinction For,
owing to the position of the ecliptic
in regard to the equator at this sea,
son, the moon rises for several cons
secutive nights with only compare
lively small interval between 1.-The
SUGGEST re risings. The short au
tumnal days seem thus to be pro
longed by the floods of sivery moon
light that make the night beautiful
as day. The phenomenon is as easily
expla ned as the axial rotation of the
earth But IN the olden times. when
man was nearer to nature, the hsr-
vest moon was considered a direct
interposition OF Providence to assist
the husbandman in CATHERINE in the
harvest, The waning moon is in
conjunction with Neptune ON thu
End, with Saturn on the 3rd, with
Jupiter on the 9th, and with Uranus
on Il ; 18th. The new moon Of the
18th IS III conjunction with Mercury,
and Mars on the 18th, and with
Venus on the 18th, passing a degree
and half north of her.

Trying to Rob Citizens oftheir Rights.
New York Herald

NEW 10TH I16Ihlu
The ways of politicians are as
mysterious as those of Providence,
although there this parallel abruptly
ends. In the Second Congressional
District of Tennessee, where the
Hon. Leonidas Caesar Houk, member
of Congress from the district, recent
ly assured the Herald there was no
serious divisions in the Republican
ranks, Mr. Houk's re-election is
being opposed by many Republicans,
who have nominated Mr. William
Rule, editor of the Knoxville CHoN
ICLE and of Parson Brownlow's ia
nous old paper, the Knoxville Wing.
There were two conventions, both
largely attended, and both candl~
dates were regularly nominated, just
as any other number might have
been Mr.. Houk is member Of
Arab Hubbells notorious Repubhe
can Congressional Committee, but
Mr. Rule is the Tennessee member
of the more important and less Of
lS1S4fS u dulAdIiOu kllOHu do tLO -NeA
tional Republican Committee, which
consists of one Republican from eaaA
State AS both men are Republi~
cans, and the district is so over
whelmingly OF the same political
complexion that one or the other
must be elected, it might be sup>
posed that the two machines would,
under the circumstances, stand aside
and let the men an their followers
fight it out, particularly as the affair
concerns only the candidates and the
people Of the Second district of Ten
nessee. But the Hubbell committee
does not seem equal to sdch a degree
of decency, for It's secretary has pre-
sumed to write letter informing
the voters that his committee has de
cided that Mr.. Houk is the regular
nominee. Such insolence is rare In
the pol teal world, but so are Hub
bell committees; still, it would seem
tn a gang of men who have so
lrrge a job on hand as that of black
mailing all the Government employees
might be satisfied with its plumber
ing facilities, and not stoop to the
meaner trick of trying to rob some
thousands of citizens of their right
to vote for whom they like.

The Facts in the Case.
MaryyilIe Waterman.

There is not a class of men to be
found anywhere more completely
humbugged than those who support
Houk because they want pension
and think Houk can get it for them.
That he answers their letters may
be true; but does he hasten the pen
sion? He is not the Commissioner
of Pensions, OF connected vita
that Office. How many poor crippled
or diseased men or mourning parents
have fled declarations years ago,
waited long and patiently in pow
erty's want and anguish of pain,
and still they send for proof of de-
pendence, or of disability, or of
where disease was contracted and
how, and who was present and what
they were doing, sometimes when the
same proof has been made over and
over, and where the claimant has
lived, and yet the certificate has not
come. We are persuaded to think
that some Of these applications are
held open as a whip in Houk's hands
to lash the claimants into his sup
port If he wanted to really help
them as member Of Congress, why
does he not Introduce a bill to in
crease tie working force of the
Pension Department, and bring
these applications to speedy hears
ing No, ms whip would be gone
then, but while the claim is kept
open, the poor man is made to feel
That he almost has it, particularly
when hls member Of Congress writes
him, and ne fears that any other
man would not push his claim. That
IS the way, and n tha5 way lash is
attempted to be applied to many of
the good citizens Of this district,
who are sorely ashamed of the man
of the caIaboose.
Houk and his associates take it
that applicants for claims are all
fools, aud between deception ar d the
lash tlley enQeavor to use the IA.
His papers have been publishing lists
OF pensions that Houk got for the
people for some time past, claiming
that Ma. Ma d and Thornburg never
did that much. The facts are, that
after tile war, while Maynard was in
Congress, there was for the same
period OF time perhaps as many as
twenty pensions granted to where
one has been since Houk has been
there, and many more while Thorn
burgh was there than
Houk. We say there
were more during the time Maynard
and Thornburgh were in Congress,
to the same. time, than during the
time Of Houk, because it was nearer
the close Of the war, and there were
a greater number entitled to them.
But Maynard or Thornburgh never
thought OF parading them before the
/ public for their own credit. 1t re
! quires a great deal of ''cheek' and q
vast amount of demagoguery fol-
Houk to do it, bat as an old man OF
Biount County said some time since,
''Houk has brass enough in his face
to make a still.

A PECULIAR CAMPAIGN.

The methods adopted by L. G.
Houk in his present canvass in this
district have been peculiarly weak,
disreputable and dssgraceful. Gers
tain grave charges have been made
against him affecting his character as
an individual and his efficiency as a
public official. He has been charged
with habitual neglect of duty, with
common drunkenness, with obtain
ing a fraudulent pension for himself
and with remarks about the late
President Garfield, not only I'M
patriotic but brutal. aSome of these
charges he has never attempted to
deny. Others he has made a weak

When a young man, / was q staunch
believer in the integrity of hnman nature;
consequently / was always ready to lend
money TO those of my aequaintances who
needed il. As natural consequence, the
unfortunate" ones gravitaied to me as
though had been their legitimate prey
When would find myself swindled-as
did in ninety-nine cases in q hundred
would declare that would never trust
another thing iu human shape; and the
very next time an ''unlucky" wretch
came along always telling a story of snf-
fering and promising so sweetly and plau-
sibly), out would go my hard earnings
often my last Jllar-to be swiDdled
again and again. losing, believe, fully
one-half OF all my earnings in this way.
Many and many a time was reduced
10 the verge Of pauperism, and great
deal worse than this (if anything can be
worse to q man who is Industrious and
frugal. These "unlucky" wretches, If
they ever found me helpless or exposed
to their mercy in the least, after / had
shared my scAnty hoard with them free
ly, would take, as it were, the dollar,
the next TO my last dollar I had on
earth, that had offered to them cheer
fully, and use il as a wedge or lever to
pry open my pocket and get my last
cent. and add insult to injury. And,
seemingly, without shame, they would
come back again and again, until even
my patience became finally exhausted.
Wherever found the chronic" bor-
rover and "unlucky' man-and his
name is legion-I found by being
credulous in trusting, q man as utterly,
totally and completely destitute of hu-
man principles as he was of money and
business habits. I never found one in
a thousand who was free to ask loan
of comparative strangers, or a "regu-
lar" borrower, but was at heart thief
who is too cowardly to rob any but his
friends and the benevolent. There is
something radically wrong abOut such
people, and young men are wise who
avoid them.
