THE SITUATION.

A correspondent of the Nashville
American, signing himself "a Demo-
crat, writes letter to that paper,
of which the following is the closing
paragraph:
The debt has been settled by the
last Legislature. What assurance
have we that the next one will be
able to do better? When we are
asked to rip open old wounds to
heal disease, we feel justified in
asking some assurance for the sue
cess Of the operation. Our party
has baDkrupted itself in a struggle
to settle. 1t is positively without a
forclble idea on any other subject.
The writer believes the debt is set
tied, whether the party changes its
platform or not. He thinks it will
be defeated on the present one. He
thinks the only hope for the party is
in acquiescencejn accomplished facts.
These are said to be stubborn things,
and are much in the way Of the last
platform. If defeat is certain, as you
seem to suggest, or If your words
Will not bear this construction, if q
settlement is impossible under the
late platform, how can the plan sug-
gested be worse? There is a con-
sentative spirit abroad which, on this
State debt issue, believes IN letting
well enough alone. 1t has not taken
it's inspiration from speculative pol.ti
cal stock. The writer gives these
views speaking only for himself, but
daily conversation with men of his
OWE quiet class, seeking no public
office, anxious only for good govern
ment, using party as far as possible
to secure that end, confirms his be~
lief that they express in most res
spects the wishes of numbers of his
fellow>citizens. By the unthinking,
he will from this article be called a
Republican, but he propounds the
query: Whether, If the State credit
Democratic vote is to be added Ill
their calculation to the Republicans,
how do they figure up majority for
the convention platform? He does
not care for the figures unless they
are inclined to give them.
There are doubtless hundreds
of reasonable men all over the
State who look at this ques-
ton Just as the correspondent
| of the American does. If we had
had the settlement CT the State debt
in our hands we would have settled
| on different basis than that adopted
by the Legislature. If any of the
creditors should decide not to &C,
cept the new bonds on that basis,
we would yet favor settling with them
upon such basis as would be salts
factory. But a large proportion of
the bondholders have already agreed
to such settlement and the Legis,
lature has ordered it. If it
can be thus settled, it is a
very good thing for the State, and
we will have no right to complain.
If all will accept the settlement as a
fixed fact, the State makes money by
it, and the troublesome question,
which has so agitated our people for
these many years, will be out of the
way. We do not see how any good
citizen can oppose the settlement.

pint Of hot water. Alcohol proves
a great advantage; keeps off era

ment at the rate of fifteen dollars
per month, for disabilities Sin the
line of duty" as a soldier in the
Union army. The pension was
granted in 1880, the payment to
commence April 4th, 1863. The
first payment was made April 4th,
1880, and was for seventeen years
and four months, that is 2O8 months,
which, at fifteen dollars per
month, would make the
nice little sum of $3,12O, or more
than was paid six private soldiers for
the entire three years they served
in the army His pension now
amounts to two dollars per month
more than the pay of a soldier in
actual service He draws his pension
at the Washington office, not at
Knoxville, the reason for which must
be surmised.

II there is any one thing upon
which the people have made up their
minds, it is that they will not submit
to be ruled by self constituted, would
be bosses. The typical American
glories in the fact that he is an indie
pendent citizen Every man of in~
telligence and spirit thinks that he is
the equal If every other man. He
thinks that he is capable of reaching
his own conclusions without dictation
from any source Most men are
willing to be advised in a props
er way, but when any
one sets himself up for "boss," he
is sure, sooner or later, to discover
that he has assumed more than he
can carry out.
1t is mistake to suppose that a
few men around the courthouse can
run the politics of an entire county.
1t is mistake to suppose that q few
scores of Federal office-holders can
force the people of an entire Cons
gressional district to vote for this or
that man. The people have an idea
that they can manage their own af-
fairs, and whatever may have been
done in the past, they are detere
mined that in the future political
''bosses" will not control them.

BOUNDARIES OF AZVINc
CLAIMS.

In his charge to the jury in the Con-
tention- Head Center suit at Tomb
stone. Arizona, Judge Stillwell said /:
Regarding the location of mining
claims, to make location, a miner is
not compelled or permitted to locate
until he finds a mineral-bearine vein.
ledge or lode, and until he /, fully
satisfied Is 10 the course and strike
that he may locate the claim con.
fornatory thereto. Ifthe location is
made before :he strike Of the vein !,
or can be ascertained, the principle
that the law does not require an i'm
possibility, cannot be used as an ex-
cuse for following a vein after it ma.
terislly departs from the exterior
boundaries Of mining claim, if he
chooses, before he learns the true
strike of his vein or ledge; and the
law provides what minerals he NAV
extract therefrom. If he makes mis-
take in his location he cannot be ex.
cused on the principle that the law
does require an impossibility and be
permitted to follow his vein or ledge
before it strikes out beyond the side
boundaries of his claim. He must
abide by what the law says isembraced
IN the boundaries of his claim, and
about which will more particularly
instruct you. In this case l instruct
you that it is your duty to give to the
plaintiff all that you would consider
him entitled to if the property claim
cd by the defendant belonged to the
United States. That is to say, if 1

farm is not different by reason of the
fac, that the property adjacent may
belong to the United States, the
plaintiff would have no right in law to
go any farthe- beyond the side lines
than he has in this case. If the de-
fendants are bona fde SUBSEQUENT
locators, the law provides that the
location shall be made substantially
parallel with the strike of tie lode or
vein, and that the end lines shall be
parallel. 1t is so difficult to do this
IN all cases, that If the line or rim en-
tiers the claim at one corner under the
end line and crosses diagonally
through the claim and out under the
other end line, it is held that the loca-
tlon is good, and the owners of the
claim cannot be disturbed, and NAV

AT thepresent rate of developments,
twill not be long before the mining
interest will be left without shred oi
reputation, and mining stocks will be
as severely let alone as respectable
people avoid dealings with thimble.
riggers and three card monte men.
Without attempting at the moment to
pick up isolated cases or fix the res
possibility for the series Of losses
which for the last year have fallen
upon people of the east, who were
credulous enough to credit the pro-
fessions of those western persons who
wanted to make mining as staple and
AS legitimate an interest as agriculture,
We do say that the term disgraceful Is
not too severe a term to apply to the
many maltreatments and mismanage-
ment. of mining properties which
have become reproach to every one
who has had the success of the min
ing industry at heart. 1t may be un-
avoidable that some swlndles shall be
perretrated, that some reputable fnan-
cial gentlemen shall be deceived, and
that some frauds shall be concealed
even from the knowledge Of the most
careful and sincere directors. But 70
