NASHVILLE American.

We cannot see how there is any
decent way out of the trade dollar
dilema to the Government, except
to call them in and redeem them.
Under the act which authorized
their coinage they were originally
coined for depositors of silver bull
ion at the mInts and a charge i'm
posed for coming at not to exceed
the actual cost of manufacture to the
Government. Any owner of silver
bullion under this act could have it
coined into trade dollars. They
were not issued or paid out by the
Government in the payment of OBJ
legations or exchanged for other
money, and it is true the Govern
ment undertook to keep the fraud in
its lawful and proper channel, but it
did not succeed. innocent parties
from ignorance of the law nave ia
ken them in ordinary business trans
actions. Now there appears 10 be no
remedy for the trouble unless Con-
gress legislates upon the matter, and
that it certainly ought to do as soon
as it meets. heauthorization ofthe
coinage was blunder, as many of
the recent currency regulations have
| been. The innocent should not
suffer for the stupidity of the agents
OF the Government, and the proper
thing for Congress 10 do is to repair
the mischief by calling the bogus
dollars in and recoining them into
half dollars that are not lie.

OPINIONS OF THE STATE PRESS.

The Democratic press of the State
has very generally endorsed the
Ohio platform.
The Memphis Appeal rises to re-
mark that Dan Voorhees,, no doubt,
had Watterson in his minds eye
when he said that the man who
thinks that tariff can be laid with
out protection is bigger tool than
a goose or a cow.
The Democratic State Convention
at its session at Columbus last week
struck the keynote of the next pres
idential campaign. 1t refused to
listen to the cranks who insist on
losing the next election upon "tar-
if for revenue only. GGLidtn E:r.
Glaifler.
The Tennessee Legislature endOrs-
ed his (Watterson's) utterances, and
many other bodies and persons have
endorsed him, but these do not con.
stitute the Democratic party Union
city AachOT.
The Pulaski Citizen thus graphi-
cally describes the Justification
brought about by the Ohio plat
form:
Mr.. WattersOn, the great "Only"
apostle, and Mr.. COlyer, the sage
philopnliticO leader in southern
thought that is to kill or cure the
South's infant industries, tip glasses
across the chasm-bOth delighted"
Since the publication of the Ohio
democratic tariff platform the free
trade crankS have subsidized. Some
of them haven't word to say while
others accept protection to Ameri-
can industries with a good grace.
1t is safe to say the free traders will
be pOWerleSs in the next national
convention and the democracy will
go into the canvass unit on the
tariff question.-MenlphiS AUGlGnche.
Ohio Democracy has held its con-
vention and sounded the key-nO
on the tariff question in the APP
preaching national campaign in
unmistakable langauage. The wild
theories of free trades have been so
effectually squeIched that Henry
WattersOn, their arch leader, has at
last reluctantly surrendered TO a oet-
ter policy. Ofcourse, this is bad |
news to the Republican party that
has been looking to this tariff ques- |
ton as the rock on which DemOcra- |
CIV would be wrecked. The tariff !
positions of both parties are now
the same, with spirit OF
in favor of Democracy
Each acknowledges the tariff
must be reformed to correspond
with the changes of time. In which
party can this important trust be
more safely repOsed is the question
The people will be called on to de-
ENTERPRISE.

When To Battle

The London Lancet gives some
timely hints about beginning out
ot-doOr bathing. If the. water be
chilly, it says, or there be a cold
wind so that the body may be rap
idly cooled at the surface while un-
dressing, it is not safe to battle.
Under such conditions the further
chill of immersion in cold water
will take place at the moment when
the reaction consequent upon the
chill of exposure by undressing
ought to occur, and this second
chill will not only delay or al
together prevent the reaction, but
convert the bath from a mere slim
ulant to a depressant, endeng in the
abstraction of a large amount of an
imal heat and congestion of the in
ternal organs and nerve centres.
The actual temperature of the wa
ter does not affect the question so
much as its relative temperature as
compared with that of the surroun-
ding air. The aim must be to avoid
two chills first, from the air, and
second, from the water, and to make
sure that the body is in such con-
dition as to secure quick reaction
one merging from the water, with
out relying too much on the posi- :
BILE effect of friction by rubbing. 1t
will be obvious, therefore, that
both weather and wind must be
carefully considered before bathing
is begun, and that the state of the
organism as regards fatigue and the
force of the circulation should also
be considered, not merely as re-
CARDS the general habit, but the
special condition when a bath is to
be taken. These precautions are
eminently needful in the case. of
the young or weakly.

FATHER CHEEKY.

THE Democrat once gave its
views in the only sensible article on
that subject in the the country
preSs.-DemOcTdt.
For ineffable "gall" that sentence
takes the cake, and is worthy of
those able young editors. 1t refers
to the new railroad and is a very
sweeping remark. Not only does it
charge the CHRONICLE, the Tobac-
co Leaf, the Princeton Banner and
the Dickson Press with imbecility,
but the dear Democrat under its
former management, is likewise
taken in. Indirectly it goes still
further. a great many articles "On
that subject in the country press"
were reports of proceedings about
the railroad, and tho citizens who
engaged in those proceedings and
who subscribed so literally to the
enterprise, are probably TO be in
Guided in the same lamentable cat
egOry. In this desert of idiOtcy ii
is gratifying to know that this city
has such wise counsellOrs as the
august editors of the Democrat.
The great pity is that they have
been so meagre in their counsel on
a subject so important.

NEW AcCOMPLL SHMENT.

THE reputation of the Democrat
is so well established that our con-
siderate attentions in pointing out
its manifold beauties and perfec-
tons are not so much needed as
they have been. When those bril-
liant young editors display an en-
tirely new accomplishment, how
ever, our kind Office is still needed
in giving it such notice as it de-
serves. We wish to remark now
that they are very familiar with
the French language and use its
idiOms with remarkable accuracy.
They said last week, "a party
whose only TGiSOn Petre for exist
ence is the" &c. a reason to be
and a reason to exist are about the
same thing, and we suppose the ac-
complished editors followed their
French with the words "fOr exist
ence" on the same principle that
the school boy who had just begun
Latin, signed his name to letter
to his paternal ancestor, "Your son
ILLUS, John Smith"

A Nice Place for q PIcnIc,

The owners of the private fish
ponds about the city have been an
nOyed so much lately by depreda-
tors that they have planted dyna-
mite cartridges along the banks OF
the pond. A string drawn across
the grass connects with the car
fridge, and whenever a foot strikes
the string the cartridge eXplOdes.
Last Saturday evening there was a
colored picnic near Phifer's pond
and during the evening crowd OF
the cOlorod people went to the pond
to fish, sit about and fiirt, and eat
their lunch. They assembled on
the bank In close proximity to one
of the cartridges, and in the course
of few minutes, while they were
chatting away in blissful ignorance
of what was to come, one of the par
ty struck his foot against the string.
Instantly there was deafening re-
port, and the air was filled with fly
ing dirt, weeds, grass, hats, shawls,
parasOls, provisions, and lunch bas-
kets, and the terrified picnickers
stampeded for the woods. The car
fridge was planted about fifty feet
from the party, and none of them
were hurt, but they could not have
been worse scared. The bank was
covered with abandoned hats, caps,
shawls, and lunch baskets, and u
hole ten feet square was in the
ground at the spot where the car
fridge exploded.

The latest Tree m the WorI0.

1t seems that America, after all
is unable to make good her claim
to the possession of the talleSt and
largest trees in the world. Every
one has read of the marvels of the
Yosemite Valley and of Yellow
stone Park, the huge national sport
ing ground of the United States.
But what are the giants of Califor-
mia in comparison with tree which
has lately. been discovered in Aus
tralia?- 1t has long been known
that in Tasmania there are Gu
calypti measuring 200 feet from the
ground to the first branch, and 800
feet in total height; and there is,
or lately was, on Mount Wellington,
near Hobart Town, tree of this
species the trunk of which was eigh-
ty-six feet in circumference. But
still more gigantic monarch of the
woods has been recently discovered
in Victoria. 1t Is q well-prOpOr-
toned specimen of the Eucalyptus
0Dlygddli,ad, and its top is nearer to
the sky than the cross of st. Paul's
Cathedral, for it is no less than 430
feet above the ground.

'ress !: Wheat harvest

Dickson Press Wheat harvest
ing is about finished in this county.
The farmers report that although
the grain was 'thin on the ground
the heads were well filled, and the
yield will be fair. Little or no dam
age from rust is reported in this
locality.
Milan Exchange: There has
been shipped from here, during the
past month, about 10000 pounds of
strawberries and 1000 pounds of
vegetables, mostly peas. There
have been transferred here, from
Bells, Gadsden and Humboldt,
about 100000 pounds of strawber-
ries, all shipped to Chicago.
A man in McMinn county killed
a horned snake last week. Persons
who are skeptical about the exist
ence of such reptile can have their
doubts removed by visiting the
Office of the Athens Post where the
horn is on exhibition. The horn
shows an opening for the discharge
of poison the snake strikes tail
first with his horn.
A curious and ancient relic was
found in front of the Odd Fellows
Hall last Wednesday, in Dresden.
1t was an old dirk or hunting knife,
ten inches in length, quite rusty,
and but little of the wooden handle
remained. A silver band ON the
handle attracted attention, as it was
shining brightly where the dirt had
been washed away from it. On the
blade in distinct letters is the name
I'D. Crockett" 1t is thought to
have belonged to the great bear
hunter, as that locality was his
home for some time, and it is au-
thoritively stated that he killed a
bear not far from where the knife
was found.

farmers MeefinQ.

A vice president for each county
in the State was appointed at the
recent Farmers convention in
Nashville. That honor for Mont
gomery county was very fittingly
conferred on q. III. Slaughter, ESQ.,.
who is at once one of the best farm
ers and most intelligent citizens of
this section. The special duty of
the vice presidents is to organize
farmers meetings in their respect
i've counties and thus secure the
effective cooperation of the agricul-
tural classes throughout the State.
To this end Esquire Slaughter has
called meeting of the farmers of
Montgomery county, to be held in
this city July Dist. 1t is to be
hoped that the meeting will be
largely attended from all sections
representative farmers from each
civil district should be present. A
card from Esq. Slaughter in another
column fully explains the object of
the meeting. He rightly says that
the farmers of the State will derive
untold benefits from a thorough or
ganization and we hope that he will
be ably seconded in his efforts to
bring the farmers of Montgomery
to an appreciation of that fact.
We would suggest that in order
to make the meeting both pleasant
and profitable, and to vary the
routine of the business to he trans
acted, that each attendant on
the meeting come prepared to
make full report of the crops in
his neighborhoOd. He should tell
the number of acres planted in corn,
tobacco, oats, wheat, potatoes, grass
and clover, and their average con-
dition. \ full report of the condi-
ton of all kinds of fruit would also
be interesting.
We hope the farmers who attend
the meeting will come with the
expectation of going into the work
of organization in earnest. 1t is
probably the most needed work OF
this country at this time. The pros
perity of all other industries and
occupations depend on that Of the
agriculturist and with the improve
ment of our farming system the
whole country must improve.
Nothing can be so conducive to
such improvement as thorough
organization and an interchange OF
ideas. We hope to see the farmers
of Montgomery county take mold
of this movement with life and
vim and we expect great benefits as
its results.

CAPT. JAS. &. FLEMING, late
secretary and book -l-onpnr for OK
Treasurer Polk, was arrested at
Hot Springs, Ark, Tuesday, on a
requisition from Gov. Bate, charg-
ing him with criminal completely
in the Polk defalcation by making
false entries on the books to the
amount of $4,000. Mr.. Flemming
comes of one of the best families in
the State and has always borne Il
high character. If he made false
entry it was probably at Folks di-
rection without his knowledge of
its falsity. We hope to see him
honorably acquitted. 1t seems
strange that he should be arrested
on such charge at this late day,
after strict legislative investiga-
ton failed to find anything against
him,
p. S.-Since the above was put in
type we learn that Mr.. Flemming
has arrived in Nashville, but not
under arrest. The Indictment was
probably a ruse to get him back as

is told by Burns as a prefix to poem
on the subject:
I'm the train of Anne of Denmark
when she came to Scotland with
our james the Sixth, there came
over also Danish gentleman of
gigantic stature and great proves.
ana matchless champion of BAG
chus. He had little ebony whistle
which at the commencement of the
orgeries he laid on the table, and
whoever was last able to blow it.
everybody else being disabled by
the potency of the bottle, was to
carry off the whistle as trophy of
victory. The Dane produced ere
dentials of his victories without a
single defeat, at the courts of Copen-
hagen, Stockholm, Moscow, War
saw, and several of the petty courts
in Germany; and challenged the
Scots Bacchanalians to the alterna-
tive OF trying his proves, or else
of acknowledging their inferiOrity.
After many overthrows on the part
Of the Scots, the Dane was encoun-
tered by Sir Robert Lawrie of Max
welton, ancestor of the present wor-
thy baronet of that name ) who,
after three days and nights hard
contest, lett the Scandinavian under
the table,
And blew ON the Whistle his requiem shrill.
Sir Walter, son of Sir Robert be-
fore mentioned, afterwards lost the
Whistle to Walter Riddel, of Glen
riddel, who had married Il sister OF
Sir walters. On Friday, the 10th
of October, 1890, at Friars-Carse, the
Whistle was once more contended
for, as related in the ballad, by the
present Sir Robert Lawrie of Max
welton; Robert Riddel, Esq, OF
Glenriddel, lineal descendant and
representative of Walter Riddel,
who won the Whistle, and in whose
family it had continued and Alex.
ander Ferguson, Esq, of Craigdar,
roch, likewise descended of the
great Sir Robert; which last gen.
tleman carried off the hard-won
honours of the field"
All of these quotations that we
have made 60 to show that there
has been a great change in public
sentiment on this subject within the
last century and though drunken
ness is still lightly condemned it is
much less respectable than it for
mally was. We believe that the
day will come when it will be as
disgraceful to get drunk as it is tC
steal, and the workers in the tenn
perance cause should direct then
efforts towards speeding that happy
time. Drunkenness must be made
disreputable before effective work
can ever be done towards temper
ance reform.

tomac, finally assembled their
forces at a point near Stanton, Va,
where the decisive battle was
fought. The result was a ball in

the intelligent public is that the
termination wasn't similar to that
of the noted engagement between

THE priest of Matam oras, David
Ortez, has married the girl Dolores
Garcia, whom it is charged he had
abducted. The contract was civil
one, which will free him from the
criminal charge against him, while
by the Mexican civil marriage he
does not violate his vow OF celibacy.
His crime has, however, created too
much scandal, and he probably will
be turned out of the priesthood.

BEASLEYS INJUNCTION.

John r. Beasley, late Greenback
candidate for Governor, of Tennes-
see, has been threatening for some
time to enjoin the 50-3 act of the last
Legislature. He attempted TO put
the threat into execution the other
day by filing an application for an
injunction with Judge Jack Will
liams, of Winchester, the same
judge who granted the injunction
against the 1908 act. Judge Jack
was not in such an enjoining mood
this time, however, and declined to
grant the fiat. Beasley didn't give
up the game with one attempt,
though he took his application,
along with Judge Williams reasons
for declining it, to Nashville and
flied them in the Chancery Court
there.
