A WORD FROM a SKY-BL UE.

A WORD FROM a " SKYBL UE-"
t. the Editor OF The Morristown aAzNtse:
We sky blues are retired from
the politics in tennessee. We I'M
derstand that, and whether we de-
sire it or not we know We are COM
pelled to accept the situation. But
il may not be harmful to the general
public, if it isreminded occasionally,
that we thought we were advocat-
ing a policy which was for the best
interest of the people of our State.
Some of us were in the habit OF
expressing fears that the holders OF
Tennessee bonds would not willing
lv eat their words and take 5-3
and that if they did not, some steps
might be taken by the Federal
Government through Congress or
the Supreme Court, to force upon
us 1906.
The bondholders have spoken,
and said 50-3 will not satisfy them;
and even before anybody expected
it. a resolution has been introduced
IN Congress looking to constitu'
tional amendment which means
100 6, and nothing else. And this
resolution will pass because ne
national party will dare to oppose
IT, And it will 90 down IS an
amendment to the Federal Consti.
tuition for the same reason. The
party leaders know that the party
opposing such a measure could not
carry a single northern state. Here
is the dispatch which tells the tale
"Mr. Meor,of Tennessee, introduc-
ed a Joint resolution proposing q
Constitutional amendment granting
Congress power to provide by ap,
propriate legislation for the legal
enforcement of the obligations Of
contracts entered into by any State
of the Union. Referred to the
Committee on the Judiciary"
And then how sad the thought
at might have been. ~

THE GRAIN CROPS OF 1882.
Nnrr York Herald

By the latest figuring of the Ag-
ricultural Bureau at Washington it
is reported the corn cop of 1882 is
placed at l ,635, 900, 900 bushels, and
the yield of wheat at 51O,O0O.OO0
bushels. These estimates may be
accepted as probably not far from
the amounts which will be shown
by the official and final returns, and
the results are highly encouraging.
Considering the fears which were
freely expressed for the corn crop
in the early part of last summer, it
appears from the Agricultural Blu
reau's data to have been exception
ally good. Up to 1879 the maxi
mum yield of Indian corn in this
country (which occurred in that
year, was 1,547 100000 bushels.
Last years crop, by the above esti-
mate, exceeds that of 1879 by 81
900, 1000 bushels, and falls onlylabout
207, OO0,0 900 under the crop Of 1880.
1t fully justifles the prediction which
the Herald made as ear y as Aug. 2,
that the estimate then made of the
probable yield of the corn crop
would have "to be revised and en-
larged." The latest official estimate
of that years wheat crop places it
at about 80,OO0,0O0 bushels more
than that of 1878, 60,0CO,000 more
than that of 1879 and $4,000, 900
more than that of 1880. The past
year will, therefore, be memorable
in the agricultural annals of the
country as one of fruitful seasons,
filling not only our own land but
others with food and gladness.
While the present winter began
with some severe weather IN the
Northwest the recent conditions
have been comparatively mild over
the country generally, SO that there
is now no unmistakable menace of a
hard winter, such as that of 1901 {,
Gin which on Dec. 29 the terrible
cold of fifty-nine degrees below zero
was registered in Montana) to mar
the crop prospects of the new year.

The Northern and Southern as
sembIes of the Presbyterian Church
have resumed, by formal vote, those
fraternal relations which were
broken during the war. Bach pass
ed resolutions containing the follow
ing declaration: "While receding
from no principle, we declare our
regret for and withdrawal OF all ex-
pressions of our assembly which may
be regarded as offensive" The Rev.
DR.. Herrick Johnson, who was the
moderator ofthe Northern assembly,
revived the question at some risk OF
reopening the breach. He says that
clearly the regret and withdrawal
were absolutely without any hmlta
ton as TO expressions that were Of
fensive. The resolution swept from
the record every offending word.
He reminds his denomination that
q possible construction of this action
would tarnish their record of loyal
ty and their expressed condemna-
ton of the rebellion, making them
regret it all and take it back. He
does not regard the clause, 'while
reoeding from no principle" as con
sistent. He asks what that princi-
pie is worth, the expression of which
must be regretted and then with
drawn.

THE MEXICAN VETERANS.
THEIR PENSION BILL FAVoRABLY con
slDERED IN THE zHOUsE.

PENClON DILL Il n OA@n 49,
slDERED IN THE-HoUsE.
On the 10th, in the House, Mr..
Rice, of Missouri, from the commit
tee on pensions, moved to suspend
the rules and adopt resolution
making the bill granting pensions
to the survivors of the Mexican and
certain Indian wars special order
for the first Monday in February.
Z Mr.. White, of kentucky, advo-
Gated its adoption, and in reply to
question from Mr.. Joyce, said that
the bill repealed the section OF the
revised statutes which prohibited
the placing on the pension rolls OF
soldiers dropped therefrom on ac-
count of disloyalty during the re-
bellion. He would not oppose it on
that ground, for he believed that
men who fought under the Ameri-
can flag during the late war, during
the Indian wars, and during the
war with Mexico were entitled to
pensions.
Mr.. Willis wished that the bill
had been brought up for immediate
passage. Too long already had
| Justice been delayed to the old vet
Grams of the war with Mexico. The
House on Saturday had voted will
ingly 500, GOO, 900 to pension Fed
eral soldiers, and the ability of the
country to pay this immense sum,
was due to tho gallantry OF the
Mexican veterans, who had given
the nation an empire. If every
Mexican soldier were given a pen
sion of 81 900 a month, it would be
but poor compensation for what
they had accomplished for the coun-
try.
Mr.. Wheeler hoped that the Gov
eminent would perform an act OF
tardy justice in passing the bill re-
ferred to in the resolution.
Mr.. Browne, of Indiana, opposed
the resolution because the bill pro-
posed to put upon the pension rolls
all the survivors of the war with
Mexico whether they were in needy
circumstances or not, and whether
they had incurred disabilities in the
service or not. This would be 8
dangerous precedent to set, and
would be a discrimination against
the soldiers of the late war. lie
undertook to say that the bill would
put 10000 persons on the pension
rolls.
Mr.. Hewitt, of Alabama, denied
that it would affect more than 1,OOC
persons.
The resolution was then adopted
yeas, 1871; nays, 81.

THAT ABUSED BIRD.
MARRIED BIZ AN ABSURD SCENE.
Ian l6.

From the Memphis Appeal, Jan TO-
Gov. William B. Bate was in
augurated yesterday with great
eclat and with ceremonies that we
are sorry to see were marred by an
extraordinary and absurd scene
the fight of an eagle with medal
bearing an inscription from the pen
of some too warmly enthusiastic
friends of the governor. Such nom
sense but lily COMFORTS with the
dignity of democratic state, and
would better become circus COM
pany than a gathering of represen-
tatives in Tennessee in the presence
Of the worth and intelligence of the
capitol. Jefferson, the father and
founder of the democratic party,
left q notable example of simplicity
that should be closely followed by
every democrat elevated to execu-
tive position. His contempt for
such an ecstacy of enthusiasm as
this 'live" eagle was the result OF
would have been emphatic, and our
own hero, the severely simple jack
son, would more than once swore
"bv the eternal at so malapropos q
piece of theatr cism. But this faux
pas and the firing of guns aside,
| for which Gov. Bate is no way re-
sponsible, the ceremonies were
proper and becoming.

ORR SECTION LOOKING Up


One of the encouraging signs OF
the times ia the fact that our section
of the State is looking up and is
giving palpable signs ofprogress aud
development We do not say that
it is all that it ought to be. There
is large room for improvement. Our
r0refathers did not lay the right sort
of foundation for their pOsterity to
build on. They come in possession
of a goodly heritage "a magnificent
domain--with broad acres, fine soil
and with an outlook for the future
very gratifying. They builded, but
not on a solid basis. They imPov-
erished their lands by a system OF
farming we hope never again to hear
of. They seemed to think they had
a soil that would last forever with
out the slightest effort to maintain
It's productive elements. Fertilizing
was left out of the question. The
manure heap was ignored and this
vital principle, SO essential TO the
recuperation of soil, was allowed 70
20 to waste. The result is soon told.
These broad acres from Johnson to
Hamilton, in the course Of time,
we're reduced to a low and distress
ing condition. Lands capable OF
producing immense quantities OF
grain and grass were shOrn OF their
| productive capacity, and, for these
gears, have presented a CHASTITY ap-
learance. These are facts no one at
all observant of the actual status OF
farming in East Tennessee for the
last fifty years or more will pretend
70 dispute or deny.
But matters are changing some
what for the better. More lntelll-
cent ideas are prevailing and more
affective system is being Inaugural
ed. Tobesure it is not universal OF
,ven general. We are just on the
verge, in fact, of a revolution IN ag-
.ieultural development-just begin
ling to comprehend the situation
md to realize the necessity and I'M
portance of pushing up to higher
llane of advancement. Only q few
armers, here and there, are contrib
lting to this result. They are the
pioneers the van-guard-of the
.hange that is now perceptibie IN
many portions of our favored sec
ion. They are setting worthy ex-
Imples and there is no telling the
rood effect that will inevitably en-
cue it, the next decade. We look
or marked improvements not only
IN the cultivation OF the soil but IN
he rearing OF better class of ami
mails. We look for better houses and
Tor moro comfortable barns and sta
oles. We look for more grass and
ess corn-for fewer hogs and more
iorses, mules and cattle. We looE
,or the strictest economy, care anc
diligence in manufacturing manure
md more good, practical sense II
applying it to worn out lands. We
,ook for these things for the reason
hat many of our farmers are stead
ly moving in this direction, and i
will. in spite of the world, have thi
,alutary effect. Example, in farm
,ng as in morals, is a potent factor
IL will tell.

THE SUBLIME AND THE RIDTC U
TOIS
Baltimore Sun, January 10 /.

Baltimore sun, January 10.
Until Monday the eagle had been
supposed to be representative of no.
bility, valor and majesty. The an
clients pictured him as the bird OF
Jove, and on the Roman standards
he was the symbol of victory. But
at Nashville, Tennessee, on the day
aforesaid he was pressed into a SER
vice of the most ludicrous character.
After the inauguration of the Gov
ernor of Tennessee an eagle was set
at liberty from Capitol Hill bearing
A medal on which was inscribed -
- For President, Cleveland, of New
York for Vice President, Bate, OF
Tennessee" The eagle is bird OF
prey, but though it may be high
way robber, no one ever insulted 1t
before by attempting to represent 1t
as a readjuster When it waits q
little spring lamb it takes 1T, and
there's an end of it; the owner
realizes his loss and is not annoyed
with the expectation of getting even
a chop of it back. If the royal bird
could be made to understand the use
to which the Tennessee boys have
put him, it is not unlikely he would
repay them in kind by "repudlat-
ing" the transaction. Cleveland,
with all his popularity, could not
save a ticket of that sort. The bear
err of the thunderbolt of Olympian
Jove made the political carrier OF a
Tennessee readjuster The Nash
Williams should have permitted the
baldheaded old bird to have return
ed unpledged" to his mutton.

The solid vote of his party IN
both houses of the Legislature, cast
f,r him as their choice for United
states Senator, was a compliment to
Judge r. r. Butler, from our stand
point. well deserved. The Repub-
leans have no ADLER leader or more
affable and courteous representative
than he. The work of personal de-
nunciation has been following him
for wears. but like his great name
sake of Massachusetts,, he has lost
but little sleep pining over what his
Jealous enemies or the newspapers
saw TO his prejudice, and he is this
dav rewarded by sn amount OF pub,
lie confidence that he never enjoyed
before. He is the only Republican,
of prominence at the time, who re-
fused to sign the memorable and IN
famous petition of Radical Tennes-
aee politicians to have this State re-
manded to military rule after her
rehabilitation, and we note with a
degree of pleasure the coming to
the front Of such men in the ranks
of the Republican party.
