The Jeanette was lost and thousands
of dollars spent and many lives lost and
unprecedented priYatiOns endured in
the interest of science. The Rogers
was sent to its relief and it in turn was
lost. But science is well repaid. Away
up in the frozen zone, where sunbeams
turn to icicles and ice cream tastes like
4 hot punch, they found a human foot.
print. They shed tears over it, took a
diagram, parallaX or two, several
prismatic observations, am discovered
its bearing north Il degrees west (mag-
uetic), showing the fellow was bound
directly To the pole. 1t is the key to
the situation; the whole mystery is
solved science sets up on its hind legs
and bowls in triumph. The fellow who
made footprint on the sands of time
was "a fool, a pigmy. Here's the only,
original, utter, first-class pedal indenta-
ton. Four columns in the New
York Herald but family describe it.
The Jcaunette's mission was a success
and all the losses and suffering well re-
paid. True, the mau who found the
print was blind in one eye and had the
other one wrapped up in pair OF blan-
kets, but what matter whether he
could see il or not so he looked at it.
Science can sit down IN that track and
trace its way through shoe peg, leather,
brccches-leg, shirt-bosom, paper-collar,
whiskers, right into the warm
brain OF the foot-printer and faith
Oms his thoughts and aims, tell
what he knows about ice-gorges and
scurvy, north poles and frozen toes, au-
roras and sore eyes, that the whole
world may see the monumental fool of
creation as he stalks among the ice
bergs and crcvasses of the Hnthawed
excellence and rattles his teeth to the
music of his fears.

it a Sham Meeting2

The Pulaski meeting which had
Taliaferro for spokesman was a sham
meeting, and could in no sense be re-
garded as instructive in itself, although,
if town meetings and any little knot or
gathering of the people could instruct,
We are ready to admit that the Giles
meeting more nearly represented the
sentiment of Giles than the Maury
meeting that OF Maury.
We misrepresent nobody, and we adj
NIT that Tor, some reason Giles has
more completely thrown away its once
deserved reputation as a state-credit
county than any other county i'll the
state. Even there the meeting itself
was a sham and lacked the true state
credit democrats, although it had some
OF those who pretended to be for state
credit and yet rail out in the true COM
mune vein against taxes and whine
about the eating of their substance by
the .pitiful taxes laid by the state
Banner.
The Pulaski meeting was not a tOt1I
meeting. The chairman and nearly nj
| the participants were countrymen
Giles did not throw away its sta tt
credit proclivities and this meeting die
nothing that squinted even in that di'
| rection. Its opposition to the passage
| of the 80 cents bill was not based upor
the merits of the proposition itself. Il
said that it was patent to every one
that the people desired another legisla-
ture to: settle the debt; that TO settl'
it now was to endanger democracy. Il
did not say that it would or would no
favor this same proposition if it should
come up after this Legislature adjOurn'
finally. That is a question TO be settled
hereafter. IL did say, and every think
ing man knows, that the damage tina
will result from the proposed precipi'
tous action will far outweigh the gooC
accom- plished. That is all. We never
saw a more representative meeting IL
Giles county nor one held for better
purpose, and no expression was in
tended and could be tortured into eX-
pressing any opinion upon the deb
question further than here indicated
MIR. IaliaterTo had nothing to do with
getting up the meeting and did not gel
in until late and his speech was called
for, and hence he did not shape it--anC
neither did any one else. The greater
part of the attendants were from the
country and they gave an honest ex-
preston OF honest opinion which is en-
titled TO honest consideration, We
agree with the Banner in some things
but not in the manner of getting al
them.

An effort was made to blow up pub
lie hall filed with people in northern
city the other day and another house
was blown up. The persons who sent
the explosive packages to Vanderbilt
and Field have not been apprehended.
A mob should strangle the villains to
the first limb. Assassination is the aw-
fullest crime in the catalogue, except the
nameless one for which they always
swing down this way. Nihilism
should be crushed in its incipiency
here without waiting for law or listen

To the People of Giles County.

GENTLEMEN -
As the duties OF my office require my
per sonal attention, it will be impossible
to see you all in person in the short
time previous to the election. There
fore, will briefly state why L ask your
votes:
was born in Giles county, raised
in Giles county, and have lived in Giles
county for the last fifty years, with the
exception of four years from 1861 To
1865, when, in company with a good
many gentlemen from Giles, | travelled
around a little, commencing at Fort
Donaldson, thence to Camp Morton,
thence to Vicksburg, thence to Murfrees-
boro, thence to Chattanooga, then by
way OF Chickamauga and Missionary
Ridge to Dalton; thence to Resacca,
where, whilst walking in front of a
party of gentlemen from the north who
were out shooting, lost my leg, which
ended my part of the trip. SO | wait
ed at Camp Douglass until the crowd
got ready to come home and we all
came back together. Since then |
struggled on against poverty and want,
till tour years ago the kind people OF
Giles gave me the office OF register.
During the term, by rigid economy,
have supported my family and paid
part of the debts which had accumula-
ted against me during and since the
war. / own no property. | have con-
traCted for an humble home, which | can
pay for if you will only vote for me
this one time. l will then cheerfully
retire, with a grateful heart, leaving the
office to whoever may then need it as
badly as l do now.
As to the manner in which l have
discharged the duties of the office, |
would respectfully refer you to any per-
son in the county that knows me.
Respectfully,
J.J. PHILLIPS,

The bondholders should be bored for
the simples. They have modified their
proposition to 6O-3-4-5-G. 1t is not the
terms we object TO, bat the time and
purpose for which they are proposed.
If the bOndhOlders wish to lend them
selves to the republicans and take sides
against the people who own the prop
eTty that is to pay their debt, and thus
jeepardize their claims, why they have
a right to; but if they are beaten in the
scheme TO foist republican rule upon
Tennessee they must nOC grnmble il it
proves a losing operation to them.
What business is it of outsiders which
party rules in Tennessee and what
right have they to lend their power to Ell
Their side? Perhaps they did it unwit-
tingly. Well, they know how it is now
and they had better wait. All we desire
is that another Legislature may be elect
ed, and then they may shower down
their propositions. The people desire
this opportu nifty 10 express them selves
and we see no reason for any haste. The
matter is in no better shape than be-
fore.

Ex-senator Dorsey is the chair
man Of the national republican ex-

Indictment for star-rOute thievery

for one day last week. Ingersoll,
his council, promised the attorney
general that if he would not arrest
Dorsey he would guarantee his

The Only Way Out.

Democrats plan brought out in the
CITIZEN last week has opened up dis
cussion. An idea that doesn't ava
ken thought, discussion, you may sci
aside as not worth remembering
There is no perfection in human plans
for any purpose, and the best We may
do in any matter we may be called &c
act upon is to adopt that which has
fewest faults. Democrat, as we appre-
bend, did not intend that his sugges-
tons should comprehend details, but
was only a line by which to hew. An
other correspondent to-day points out
the objections to the plan. They are
well taken-and again, they are not
well taken. They are well taken if we
are to say that we will adopt no meas
ure for settling the debt question that
is not free OF objections; but they are
not we'll taken il we make the rule to
take that which has fewest faults. We
shall not discuss the details. The first
Objection-that the state wOuld depart
from a dignified and proper course in
entering the market to buy her own pa
per-is res adjudicdtd. All of us have
talked and written about it, at first GIN
gerly, and then we went through the
process of enduring, plying, embrace
ing-and at last our objections exploded
and went off in sentimental vapOr, and
we found the odor of it not as bad as
we feared. In short, it is an idea direct
from Buncomb county, n. c., and the
plan stands out arTayed in habiliments
of the most excellent virtue as COM
pared with its vis-a-Yis, Reputation.
The other and greater objection is that
under the plan of Democrat the ques-
ton of chow much tax and what will we
do with it, will recur at every election
with all its train of evils. This is, alas,
true. And yet the same objection per-
tains to any settlement that can be de-
vised, for the supreme court has spe-
cially decreed that each Legislature is the
sole dispenser of funds Tor its term.
The beauty OF Democrats plan is that
it l0ipes out, and hence VIII sooner
bridge over our troubles. 1t is well to
point out its defects, and they are well
pointed out by our correspondent, but
the main shaft of the plan turns in the
right direction and we may easily ac-
commodore the attachments and details
and correct the minor faults.
