REToRMAToRY LEGISLATION.

A wise and long step has been
taken in the direction of practical
philanthropy by the introduction
into the General Assembly of three
bills, severally entitled, "To establish
a Board of State Charities and
Public Institutions" ''To provide
for the establishment of hospitals
by cities and towns" and .'To estab-
lish and provide for a system of
Reformatory Institutions for youth
full persons" These bills are under
the conduct Of Representative Case,
of Hamilton county, at the request
of the Associated Charities of Chat
tanooga, and were prepared by that
reliable and earnest humanitarian,
Rev. j. W. Bachman, of the same
city.
These three bills should become
law, as they provide the machinery
for relieving and controlling cases
of deserving charity, the more radi-
cal suppression of idlers and tramps,
and the care Of youthful criminals
in refOrmatory schools.
There can be no more important
subject for immediate legislation,
and we hope the General Assembly
will, with as little delay as pc, sible,
pass Colonel Cases excellent bills.

ANOTHER STATE TREASURER SHORT

Alabama's State Treasurer, Vim
cent, having, apparently, been bitten
by Tennessee's ex-Treasurer, Polk,
has so muddled his trust that he left
Montgomery on Monday night, by a
route not known, leaving a deficit of
some $230,OOO. He left, however,
a note for one of his clerks, in
which, referring to his money being
short, he said he was going to New
York "to straighten the whole mat
ter" 1t is not at all within theregion
of possibility that this he can do, or
that he will be seen again, unless
the police can capture him. The
telegraph and a State reward of
$4,000 are being employed towards
this end. His loses are supposed to
have been mainly caused by specu-
lation in cotton futures. 1t is not
thought that he has any money with
him. The deficit is amply covered
by his bondsmen. Vincent is a
middle-aged man, was a Confed-
crate soldier, and very popular.

TaEENAsoNRy IN RUGBY.

Mr.. Walton has returned from a
very successful visit to the annual
session of the NJ. w. Grand Lodge
of Freemasons of Tennessee, held ut
Nashville this week, and brought
back with him dispensation for the
Inauguration of Rugby" lodge.
His application was unanimously
granted, and with marke,texpression
of pleasure upon the receipt of
Rugbeians into the honorable and
ancient craft.
The Grand Lodge was attended by
600 members, good representative
men from all parts of the State,
many of whom expressed to Mr..
Walton much interest and pleasure
in the well-being of Rugby.

The Commissioner of Agriculture
for Tennessee fills a most important
office, almost the most important
position regarding the welfare of the
State. Not alone has he the sur
face of the soil to foster and watch
in the interests of the State, but he
has the vast mineral stores to study
and keep before the knowledge and
enterprise of the section, and
country. The absurd bill for the
abolition of the Bureau has been
quashed and We must hope Governor
Bates appointment of Mr.. McWhir-
ter to the post of Commissioner is a
wise one; but, from all accounts,
the A, B, G of Mr.. McWhirter's
agricultural knowledge has yet to be
learned.

EAST TENNESSEE.

There is no section of the Union,
it may he safely asserted, that has
natural advantages greater than
those possessed by East Tennessee.
Situated in a keystone position, she
may be said to "hold the fort anu
the cornucopia, to which the citizens
of other States, and the peoples of
other lands, will one day come. Her
soil is adapted to the varied wants
of all human requirements, and her
bosom teens with illimitable stores
of coal and iron. Her forests are
extensive, are partially unexploreu,
and will yield, for long years tc
come, a wealth of varied timber
that will alone give her eminen,e e.
Her climate is equitable and healthy
and her scenery-no small figure IN
the SUMS lovely and picturesque,
and often magnificent.
1t does not require any great fore
sight to know that East Tennessee,
besides being the garden of the
future for the myriad mouthed con
sumer of fruit, will be the manu-
featuring section of the United
States. Everything is ready ano
lere, but the capitalist; he, how
ever, has caught glimpse of til,
mine of wealth, and already has il
many places gone down for it int,
the earth, and built for it upon thu
surface. Tennessee will not il
future he an importing State, bu
one to which will come the monies
If all nations, because she alone VII
re best able to give that which IT,.
world requires. The trumpet Of he
eminence has already sounded, an
there is no uncertainty about il
voice.

The FoUR-MlLE LAW.

The following is an extract from
a private letter, dated Senate
Chamber, Nashville, January 8,
1888:
"The four-mile law will not be
touched. | have taken pains to in
form myself, and it has friends
enough in the Senate to save it, no
matter what the House of Repre-
sentatives may attempt
This is good news for all temper
ance people. The four-mile law has
accomplished much good already,
and may accomplish much more.
We sincerely hope it may have
friends enough in the House to just
let it alone-and that will indeed
be a great victory for the cause of
temperance, as well as a crushing
defeat to the advocate of the liquor
traffic. Just let it alone, gentlemen
of the Legislature, you can't dc
anything more acceptable to the
people, nor more creditable to your
selves. Let it alone.-Moristow,1

LEARNING IN THE BEST OF SCHOOLS.

Rugby has seen her worst days.;
the winter of her discomfort" has
gone to make room for the glorious
summer that will follow, as the
night the day, the patience and
energy of those who have faith in
themselves, and the great natural
advantages of the soil and district.
There were many mistakes made
all around in the starting out of the
colony; the Board of Aid made
big mistake in miscalculating its
resources, and neutrality-suspicious.
holders that would not respond to
call, or manifest aught else than
apathy: individuals made mistakes,
and learned only from experience
that which they now, perhaps, Won
der they did not sooner perceive.
Nature, too, made a great mistake,
humanity speaking, in giving us a
drought, anda summer that blistered
the face of the earth, and gave a
bitter disappointment to those who
looked for a fruitful harvest. The
sickness of the first year was I'M
doubtedly occasioned by a local
condition of affairs, and possibly
preventable causes. These adverse
conditions. and drawbacks fell with
almost stunning effect upon the
existence of the colony, and drove
numbers away who would have been
excellent settlers if they had poses-
sed their minds in patience, and
philosophically have reached the
fact that there was nothing in the
climate, the soil, or the people them
selves to make Rugby undesirabl,
flor agriculture, business or res.

To the Temperance People OF Per.
rysDurg.

DEAR FRIENDS We have waited until
we are sure that the "Second Amen lmenl"
ia Iost-for this time. Whether by the In,
difference Of protesting temperance people
or by fraud will, perhaps, never he known.
One Of the Toledo papers thinks that
now "the temperance people will probably
settle down on the Scott law, or some other
judicious tax law" How can we settle on
anything which has no foundation? Aud
what stability is there 20 law which MAJ
be changed or repealed by the next legis-
lature? We think our Toledo neighbor
does not understand the full meaning o.
the letters, w. e. 4. u. One ia this: We
Come To Unsett!e. And as long as there are
wives and mothers who have husbands and
sons being led down to ruin by the liquor
traffic. 80 long will the Union settle on
nothing less than Prohibition. We have
tailed this time, but we are strong in our
faith that we shall triumph. The Gin
Commercial Gazette says: "The vote for
prohibition is astonishing and impressive
| Never before in the history of men did
three hundred thousand citizens cast theii
votes for the adjustment of the manufac-
ture and sale of intoxicating drinks as .
beverage"
And the Cleveland Leader, which opposed
the Second Amendment so bitterly, says
the liquor trofficers are doomed. "The
youngest Buckeye boy Of to day will no.
live long enough to see icenss clause in
serted in our State Constitution"
We often hear the remark, There mus
be n change in public sentiment before
prohibition will succeed" Public seati-
ment is rapidly changing. In 1851 Ii
cense was defeated by over nine Thousand
votes, and again in 1874 by not less thar
seven thousand majority. And now, ir
less than ten years, over three hundred
thousand voted for prohibition. Does no,
this show cheering change in public sen
timent? At this rate how long before VIC
may lie. assured of success? We have grea
reason for encouragement, though we are
disappointed. We hoped that now was the
time for victory.
At one OF the great Liquor Dealers As
socistions, held at Chicago, it was decided
after mature deliberation that the saloon,
we're not to blame for the drinking habits
of the people. 1t was "want OF education.
It is one of the foundation doctrines o
the Union that the children and you'll
shall be educated in regard to Intoxicating
beverages, their effect on and inevitable
ruin of the human system. Perhaps the
liquor d. alers did not mean just this line
of education but the Union does, and thi'
is one of the plans Of work which will b'
urged as fast as possible. With our people
thoroughly enlightened on this subject a nd
we'll informed as to the overbenring deter
mination OF the Liquor Dealers to rule ON
country, we shall expect our State and Ma
tion TO be ultimately free from the curse o
tile liquor traffic. Meantime we will work
and pray.
