Newspapers and TeIegrdphS.

Thirty-tive years ago the New
York Associated Press was organ
lied. 1t was composed of the seven
principal morning journals. and its
business was to collect the news of
the world by telegraph to resell to
the other papers throughout the
country. This press monopoly
made an alliance with the telegraph
monopoly; but meanwhile the
press of the West has been steadily
increasing in wealth and power, and
has organized press service of Its
own. 1t now secures its European
news, as well as the general news of
this country and the world, through
its own agents. 1t has broken loose
from the New York city press mo-
nopoly, and hereafter we are to
have free trade in news. The mo-
nopoly has checked the growth of
newspapers in the Eastern States,
and has injured the protected pa
pers, for without the stimulus of
competition newspaper enterprise
is apt to lag. We have too many
bad journals, and too few good ones.
A newspaper should be the history
of the world for one day, and the
time is coming when our journals
will be larger, better and ADLER.
People are reading books less and
newspapers more. Some day the
morning papers will have illustra-
ted supplements, giving pictures of
current events, which will be prin
ted in colurs.

THE trouble in Tennessee grows
largely out of the fact that the peO-
pie will not trust public men in
office whom they would trust in
their private affairs at home. Men
who will tell the truth, and who
will not lie or deceive for office or
hOnOrs which dishonor when igno-
bly, won, are kept in retirement.
Pigmies have the ear of the public,
and those who give the people a
plausible excuse for not paying tax
es are trusted, and thus men worthy
to lead and to attend to public af-
fairs will not do. In the last cleo
ton Senator Harris and all the
members of Congress took back
every word they had ever uttered
on the subject of the debt, and Sem
ator Jackson alone stood heroically
and manfully by the honor of the
State, and told the people on every
stump that they could do as they
would with the senatOrship in the
future but they could not compel
him to belle his own convictions,
and advise them to a dishonest
thing. The recent defalcatiOn is a
natural result of such state of affairs.
1t will prove a blessing to the peo-
of Tennessee if it lead them to en-
trust their affairs to better men and
truer men and bolder men than
now hold the ear of the people.
Such men are not found alone
among those who were called State
credit men, but they are not found
in the present leadership. They
are found among the staunch State
credit men, among the hundreds of
erring good men who have been
dragged by the fiat of a convention
to go against their convictions, just
as good men have done before them
and everywhere else, and they are
found among the one hundred
thousand voters who did not vote
at all in the last election, feeling
that the right was hOpelessly lost
and determined not to vote for the
wrong. There are enough of right
thinking men in all sections to stay
the tide if they will be but moved
to stand against demagogy and be-
com e right-acting as well as right
thin king men.-Cinci1lndtj Netcs.

Paducah News,

The inmates of a certain board
ing-house in this city were aroused,
a night or two since, by what seem
ed to be a free fight in brisk pro-
gress at the front door. 1t turned
out TO be nothing more serious than
the bouncing, by the landlady OF
enc of her daughters suitors. 1t
appears that the young lady and
her "felIer" were returning from a
social entertainment which they
had attended together unknown to
the mother. While the young man
was endeavoring to get his girl
into her house unOhserved, the
twain were captured by the irate
mater familias, who made crack
at the head of the swain with a
lighted lamp, intending to cremate
him then and there. High words
and tears and tears and high words
poured forth in floods. No serious
damages resulted, how ever, the
girls beau escaping with a smashed
Derby hat and a somewhat dilap-
idated shirt front and collar.

wOmam-PrOcIamn Freedom
for women.

What is the right of the ballot to
women compared with her privilege
of enjoying health and happiness in
the charmed circle of her social and
domestic relations? Among the many
discoveries tending to promote the
happiness and Advancement of the
human race, nothing is so intimately
connected with the health and happi-
ness of women-the centre and source
of our highest earthly enjoyments-as
the discovery of a remedy which
meets her peculiar wants, and fits her
for the enjoyment of life, and for min
istering to the happiness of those with
whom she is associated in the tender
relations of sister, wife and mother.
This remedy is found in DIR. J. Brad

cipated from the ills peculiar to her
sex. Before its magic power all
irregularities of the womb vanish. 1t

1t cures constipation and strengthens
the system, braces the nerves and pu-
rifles the blood, and thus doing, it does
more for her, and through her, for
the whole human family than any
discovery of modern times. 1t never

The Oldest Cow on Record.
HawkinsViIle Dispatch.

The most aged cow in Georgia
perhaps in the United States-is
owned by a citizen of Hawkins
vile. The owner assures us that
the COW is 100 years old, and IL now
giving milk. When we mentioned
the improbability, in fact, the impos-
Utility, of his COW being 100 years
old the gentleman assured us that
she has belonged to his grand
parents great-grandparents, and
other ancestors, and that there is no
doubt that the cow is 100 years of
age. We can say for the owner of
the cow-the gentleman who makes
the statement, that he is one of our
most esteemed citizens, one not ac-
customed to exaggerate, and whose
word has never been doubted. The
gentleman is fifty years of age, and
is a member of one of the old and
noted families of the State.

Few things give more pain than
dread or apprehension. Most peo-
pie are able to face apparent danger
heroically, but the sudden and I'M
expected coming of some indefinite
calamity very naturally strikes ter
ror to even the bravest. For this
reason Lightning and tornadoes are
considered terrible; their coming
and going are so sudden, unan-
nounced and unknown. For this
same reason an unknown disease,
some poison in the blood, some NAL
ady that is gradually undermining
the lite, is specially dreaded by all
thinking people. And, indeed,
there are good reasons for such
dread, for modern science has dis
covered some virulent disorders

possible symptoms. We know of
many persons who have dull and

of the body; who are unnaturally

appetite at times and a
lOathing of food soon thereafter.

aH! Something new Under
the sum!

By reason of her peculiar relations
and her peculiar ailments, woman has
been compelled to suffer, not only her
own ills, but those arising from the
want of knowledge, or OF consideration
on the part of those with whom she
stands connected in the social organi-
zation. The frequent and distressing
Irregularities peculiar to her sex have
thus been aggravated to a degree
which no language can express. In
the mansions Of the rich and the hovel
of the poor alike, women has been the
patient victim of ills unknown to man
and which none but she could endure
and without a remedy. But now
the hour of her redemption has come.
She need not suffer longer, when she
can find relief in DIR. J. Bradfeld's

Message 90 the Legislature ON Con
vAct Labor.

vAc6 LABOR
My special purpose in sending
this message, hhwever, is To- make
some suggestions about convict la
Dor, as l lost my former message
before had finished this branch of
it, as you will perceive by the most
careful examination. | said a
great deal about the matter, but
failed to tell you exactly what ought
to be done with this labor. Now 1
intend to make it SO plain-So
clear-what ought to be done to
keep this labor from coming in
competition with honest labor THAT
he who runs may read"
First, i want to fix yOnr minds
on this point: We can't support
these convicts and not require them
to work. This would cost too much
money and be unpopular; but we
must make them work at some
thing that will keep them out of
competition with honest labor. |
will now suggest to you plan. 1t
will not Ito to allow them to prac-
tice law, .because-well they haven't
the ability; but will suggest what
to do with them before / am done.
We cannot make doctors of them,
because long association has destroy
ed those personal antagOnisms nee
eSsary to success in that profession |;
but 1 will tell you what must be
done.
1t would hardly do to make legis-
lators of them, beeauSe-well there
are simply too many of them-that's
the only objection. But I'll sug-
gest something. 1t won't do TO
make farmers of them, for they are
in competition with too many vo-
tiers in the country; nor to make
mechanics of them, for that brings
them in competition with too many
voters in the cities and towns. But
I'll tell you what to do before Pm
done.
1t will not do to work them in
coal mines In competition with the
miners, for these are engaged in
"honest labor" and have some
voice in political affairs. But my
purpose is to show you what ought
to be done with them. 1t would
hardly do to permit them to fish
and hunt over the country, for it
would cost too much to guard them
and be Objectionable otherwise; but
I'll soon tell you what to do. Now,
they must do some kind of work
to earn their meat and bread, and
not become an additional expense
to the Taxpayers. Do you hear
that? They cannot be utilized in
the learned professions for sundry
reasons; do you hear that? They
must not be brought in competition
with any kind of labor that's hon.
est-and all labor is honorable;
do you hear that? Now, what
shall be done with them? They
ought to be made toilets ee-Well,
they ought to be at-something
that will keep them from cOmpe-
ting with honest labor. You ought
to pass some law requiring the con-
victs to be worked at some labor
which-that is to say-may be sug-
gested by Cow, who is TO
succeed me two years hence, for,
dad burn him, it's his business, any
way, and not mine.
