The Chicago Herald, OF Tuesday morn
ing, prints an interview between its edito-
rial correspondent and Senator Bayard, in
which the latter speaks Of Ben Butler as
follows:
"Such men as Ben Butler have worn
the ass skin too long. 1t has grown to
their bodies"
"But Coy. Butler claims he has always
been a Democrat at heart, and that now
he is only returning to an allegiance which
he never really deserted"
"He does, ell 2" said Senator ,Bayard.
Well, i wish in THOSE ye,iEs. uaheu our
poor Democratic minority in Congress
were struggling TO ward off the merciless
partisan schemes of the Republican party,
Gen. Butler had talked then as he does
now. No, sir, Mr.. Butler was the Interest
foe, the most yirulent enemy the most
uncompromising opponent that the Demo
/ cratic party had in those reconstruction
| days. Whatsoever may be his protesta-
| tions now, / can never forget the fact that
much, aye, most. of the labor, the anN-

belong, came from the wicked, base, per-
sistent and malicious efforts OF men in

Butler prufesses this and that. Bah! He
may do for Massachusetts and new

WHY is IT?

Why is it that the increase of bust
ness over some of our Tennessee rail.
roads and their branches, is not in
proportion to the increase in wealth
and population of the country through
which they run? Why is it that this
want of proportionate increase of bust
ness is confined mainly to such roads as
have no competition and are very indie
pendent and arbitrary with patrons?
In answer to these questions it will not
do to say that rates are too low. 1t
may be the reverse. 1t may be that
the practice of charging exorbitant
rates, and want of more liberal policy
toward their patrons have driven away
an immense amount of business, which
might have been procured for the
roads. On account of high rates and a
ridged adherence to those rates, many
car loads of live stock have been driven
hundreds of miles rather than submit
to unjust rates, So with the transpor.
tation of merchandise, many haul on
wagons, even at sacrifice, rather than
pay exhorbitant prices. 1t is bad policy
for railroad or an individual to charge
above what is right and legitimate,
simply because it or he may have the
power to do so. In proportion to the
decrease Of rates is likely to be the in
crease of business. The policy Of
high tariffs in the south has not only
retarded the prosperity of the country
but has worked injurious to the roads
themselves.

THE LIONS OF LONG AGO.

We are reading with interest "Per>
sonal recollections of public men," as
they appear in the Lebanon Herald,
especially those Of Tennessee, among
whom is very conspicuous the name of
James G. Jones. At that time, back
as far as 1874, the writer was a boy,
old enough, however, to remember the
leading politicians OF the State.
There were two parties, Wing and
Democratic, which in Tennessee were
pretty equally divided. Boys in those
good old days as now took sides. We
were of the Democrotc faith, though
could not have given reason except
that our father was a Democrat. New.
ertheless we were Democrat. The
last time we heard James G. Jones
Oean Jimmie) speak was in the fall of
1906, during the canvass OF James
Buchanan for the Presidency. At that
time there were three candidates in the
field-James Buchanan the Democratic
candidate, John g. Fremont, of Cali
fornia, the "Free Soil," and Willard
Fillmore the Know-Nothing, or Ameri-
can candidate. A very large percent
age of the Wing party, of which Mr..
Jones was a leader in Tennessee, had
gone into Know-Nothingism. Mr..
Jones had refused to 60 with them.
The canvass for the Presidency had
opened and Mr.. Jones had resolved to
act with the Democratic party. Some
time in the fall of 1856, perhaps in
October, was the great Buchanan rally
at Nashville. As before stated, Mr..
Jones had declined to act with the
Know-Nothing party and was supports
ing Mr.. Buchanan.
The Democratic rally onsthat Occa-
sion was perhaps the grandest ever

is book of 144 pages, and in addition
to the description of farms and residen-
ces for sale, contains complete statistics
of all the counties in the State and
concise descriptive histories of about
half of them. 1t will prove valuable
publication in placing the unbounded
resources of Tennessee in a prominent
light before the world. About 10, 900
copies Of the work will be printed in
German, for distribution throughout
Europe. This book, together with the
magnificent display of Tennessee pro-
ducts. Commissioner McWhirteris max
ing at the Louisville Exposition, will
doubtless turn a strong tide of immi-
grafton to our borders during the COM
ing fall and winter.

FREIGHTs REDUCED.

D. B. Carson, r. r. Agt. at this
place made trip to Nashville this
week. He informs us that the new
local tariff from Nashville to this place
will 60 into effect the LIST of September.
We are to have a reduction of 7c per
100 lbs, 50, AZ, and 43, on first second
and third class goods. These rates are
still tho high, but we are thankful for
small favors. This rate is about the
same as heretofore charged Sparta
merchants. We presume the rate will
be correspondlngly reduced at other
stations on the McMinnville road.
Railroad corporations may learn
afterawhile that more liberal policy
toward their patrons would not only
facilitate the development of the re-
sources of the country, but would pay
observation-disclosures to the stockholders.
There must be harmony between the
roads and producers, which cannot be
perfect so long as some classes are
peculiarly favored.

made in Tennessee. 1t was estimated
that fully 10000 people from all parts
of the State and other States were
present. James g. Jones was the prin-
cipal speaker, the centre Of attraction.
He spoke about three hours to a spell
bound audience which covered acres of
ground, giving his reasons why he
would support Mr.. Buchanan. We
remember we'll one sentence. Pointing
to an owl hanging near by, which he
called, "Sam," the representative of
the Know>Nothing party, Mr.. Jones
said, eff you hang all the old line
Wings who refuse to bow the knee to
Sam, you will scarcely find limbs
enough in all the forests Of Tennessee.
That was grand day for Tennessee
Democracy. Mr.. Jones' speech was a
success, one of the greatest efforts of
his life, and carried thousands of old
line Wings along with him. 1t is
hardly necessary to say Mr.. Buchanan
carried the State and was elected.

EvAPoRATING FRUIT.

The work of evaporating fruit goes
bravely on in this county. From the
number of evaporators that have been
sold in this county, and are yet to come
here, we infer that large percentage
of the fruit will be evaporated. If the
business proves profitable, as we be-
lieye it will, many others will try it in
future. If the business can be made
profitable anywhere it certainly can be
made a success in these mountain
counties where We have more or less
fruit every year.

PUBLIC DOCUMENTS.

We have received from the Depart
ment of Agriculture at Washington a
copy each of the Report on Condition
of Crops and Freight Rates of Trans
portatiOn Companies" observation on
the Soils and Products of Florida"
and "The Grasses ofthe United States"
The latter phamphlet is quite a scien-
tifc publication, and to about twenty
four out Of every two dozen farmers, for
whose good it is supposed to be pub
lished, it Is as lucid as coal tar and of
about as much utility as a Greek Tes-
lament. If it were not for the gov
eminent printing office of the United
States the paper industry of this
country would certainly languish. If
all the paper and printing ink that is
thrown away on useless public docu-
ments should be put into school books
and gratuitously distributed among the
poor of the United States, more solid
benefit would result in one year than
now follows in a decade.
Few people have any adequate con-
ception of the immensely of Uncle
Sans typographical facilities and pro-
auctions. The following article from
the Printers Review, of Boston, gives
some concise data
The Government printing Office at
Washington is, tits claimed. the largest
publishing house in the world. The
building has frontage of over 800 feet
and covers little more than four and a
half acres of ground. 1t is four stories
in height, and is now valued at So, 1000
600. The whole number of employees
is about $3.50. Some idea of the ex.
tent Of business transacted is shown by
the operations of the fiscal year ending
June 30. 1882. The number of copies
of unfinished work at that date was l, :
093, 097, the estimated cost of which
was 1891, 1877. The total dis
bursements for the year were 81, $780,
1888. OF this amount $274, 154.99
were for engraving and lithographing
for paper and expense of Congressional
Record, 1892, 527.S0, and pay to em'
ployes, 81 4S2,6S425. The inventory
showed the cost of plant to be 1857
621.79. The total cost for printing fol
Congress was $1,047, 935.64, and fol
the executive departments, 1917, 419.
II. The number of blanks and envel
opes printed was 1870, 573, 1926; of pam
phlets and documents, 27,044,776
with COG, 722, 900 pages, 253,606 blanl
books. There were bound 1884
volumes and 104,553 memorandum
blocks. Every piece of work cominl
from the departments upon requisitiol
is accompanied by a printed histor.
which shows it progress by dates from
the hour received until complete,
and delivered, together with its cost
which is charged up at once to the tier
of appropriation. The pay of employee
is about $1,000 daily, or 100000 pc
quarter. 1t has been estimated tha
from 1889 to 1881, the total outla
for government printing has been some
where in the neighborhood of 500
100000.

The great telegraph strike is ended.
The operators have thrown up the
sponge, and many of them are out of
employment, as their places have been
filled by others. Only the best opera
tors are being received back by the
company. The president of the
Western Union admits that the compa.
ny has lost thousands of dollars by the
strike, but claims that they will make
it up in six months in the increased
amount Of work they will get out of
the returning operators at the same
salaries paid before the strike.
