Some weeks ago Miss Stella Mar

Some weeks ago Miss Stella Mar
tin, of Mecklenburg county, N. c.,
despite the opposition of her parents,
accepted the attentions of Junius
Harrisburg, of an adjoining county,
and, unknown to them, agreed to
marry him. Knowing that the girls
parents would not consent to the
match, the lovers agreed to elope. 1t
was planned that Miss Martin should
come to Charlotte, where she would
be met by her lover at the depot,
and the two were to leave on the
train for Concord, where they were
to be married. The morning of the
18th was fixed upon as the time for
the elopement. The young woman
escaped IN the night from her IA
theirs house and came to Charlotte.
Her lover, however, proved faith
less, and did not meet her. She
stood at the depot from daybreak
until noon, not daring to leave the
place through fear Of missing her
lover, and satisfied her hunger with
a few apples which she purchased
from boy. AS night came on she
realized that she had been duped,
and when, little later, policeman
came to suggest that she leave the
depot, he found her 1aving mani
&C. Her father, when he discover
ed her absence, traced her up and
on the morning of the 18th found
her with her reason so far fed that
she did not recognize him. He car
RED her home a maniac.

DAILY INSPECTED.

The Cincinnati Commercial Ga
zctte is authority for the statement
that sentries with guns patrol the
tomb of General Garfield day and
night, relieved at intervals with all
the military forms and under the
command of officers of the guard.
Their orders are to guard the body,
and there must be an official verifi-
cation that they have done their du-
ty and that each officer of the guard
has received that which he is to
guard. To verify this, whenever the
officers of the guard are changed
they open the coffin, identify the
corpse and exchange receipts for it.
Thus have we put the body of the
slain President into a daily morgue
and a continuous post-mortem ex-
animation. violating all the sanctity
of the grave and forcing the soldiers
into this repulsive duty in the name
of honoring and guarding the re-
mains. The tomb is violated to pro-
tect it from violation.

TIE RATE OF INTEREST

The Democrats of the Legislature
held several eaucuses last week to
consider aud form a State debt bill.
On Wednesday night, after a hot
discussion, the caucus fixed the rate
of interest on the State debt proper
1T per cent The and 4 per
cent amendments were voted down
and 3 was adopted by a vote of IL
TO "a. There is a fair chance for a
permanent split on this question,
the minority cOntending that the
Democratic platform declared for 3
per cent interest on the 30 cent
bonds, but for a full payment of the
State debt proper bonds, dollar for
dollar and 8 per cent interest. On
Friday night another caucus was
held, and the amendments to the
bin prepared by the State Debt
Committee, which were adopted on
Wednesday night, were reconsider
ed and the action of the caucus in
fixing the rate of interest ut three
per cent on the State proper was
reconsidered by n vote Of fifty to
thirty-one. A motion to adjourn
sine die was voted down overwhel-
mingly, and the caucus adjourned
until Tuesday Today night, when
all differences are expected TO be
healed and the bill will be settled,
il is asserted, in accord with the
Bate platform.

MONEY MAKES THE STA TESAAN
NaahvfIIa Amarican

1t is not hopeful sign for THU
country when men are selected tt
the United States Senate who have
large fortunes, and would not have
been thought of for the position ex
cept for this fact. The time once
was, in this country, when if an ap.
plicant for office possessed great
wealth it rather made against him
but we have out grown that, and il
is getting TO be so now, in many -o1
the States, that a candidate for the
Senate who hasn't large means is
simply wasting time. This seems
to be especially the case in the
younger States, and it is getting to
be a rare thing to hear of the cleo
ton of a new Senator from one OF
these States whose whole biography
doesn't simply consist Of a recital OF
the facts which made him a million
aire. A few years previous to that
time he may have been a corner
grocer, a saloon keeper, a one horse
lawyer, or even a common editor,
who would not have been thought
of as a suitable candidate for alder
man of the "cross-roads," chartered
to escape the operations of the four
mile law but if he happens to be
part owner of a claim in which a
pick has hit upon gold or silver ore,
he blooms out as a candidate for the
Senate. In running over the list of
Senators from these new States the
only noticeable thing about them
with few exceptions-is that they
are invariably men of great wealth,
and this il about all that can be
said of them. Only a few days ago
Colorado elected two United States
Senator'S, and the regulations which
the wires give each of them credit
for having is not such as most men,
especially if they are sensitive,
would like to carry around with
them. One of them, it is said, OBJ
tanned divorce from his wife while
in the South, and married another
woman before his first wife knew
anything about it. The other, after
he got rich, slipped off and got a
divorce from his wife without Civ
ing her any notice, and one of them
was q one-horse lawyer, the other
q small grocer. Now both are elect
ed to the Senate, and both are very
wealthy. These old wives were not
good enough for milIionaires and
Senator's They might do very
well for small lawyers and little
grocers, but these gentlemen have
ceased TO follow these pursuits. So
they cast off their wives with their
old business.
Yet one of their fellows will 90 to
and without difficulty
find any number Of intelligent, re-
ined women willing to take the
place Of that discarded grocer's wife
who was doubtless much too good
or the distinguished Senator.
But the point we were driving at

WEDNESDAY. FEB. 81. 1888.

VIM E Dodge, of New York city
the merchant millionaire and phi
lanthropist, died suddenly on the
morning of the 9th, aged IS years.
Mr.. Dodge was President of the
National Temperance Society at the
time Of his death, and was an ex-
Republican member of Congress.
He was a leading elder in the Pres
byterian church, and was very
charitable, spending about 500, 700
yearly for charitable purposes. He
resigned his dictatorship in the New
Jersey Central railroad because the
company began to run trains on
sunday. He resigned from the
Union League Club because a part
of the clubs revenue was obtained
from the sale of liquor. He prac-
ticed total abstinence.

Democrats the State Is RepubIican.

Democrats the State is Republican.
In scarcely a county in this divis-
ionsis there a shadow of a chance
for a Democrat to obtain Office at
the hands of the people by reason of
the party majority against him. Yet
year after year East Tennessee
Democrats are called upon to lead
forlorn hopes, to put themselves up
for ruthless political slaughter, all
that Middle and West Tennessee
men who ''slept in the leaves" may
profit. Without the votes of East
Tennessee Gov. Bate would be still
distinguishing himself as a criminal
lawyer in the courts of Davidson
county-and it is questionable if his
usefulness in that sphere would not
have been greater than in the posi-
ton he now occupies. We fear there
is too much of sophomore dema-
gogical pretense and not enough of
genuine reform about this admins
tration. The indications are all that
way. 1t is heralded abroad by his
organ Mt Nashville that Gov Bate
would delight to sign bill prohib-
ting the use of deadhead tickets on
railroads by officers, and as evidence
of his spotless purity it is said that
he would handle no such unclean
thing himself while a candidate.
But the aforesaid organ entirely fails
to tell us whether Gov. Bate used
or permitted to be used for his ben
eft during his canvass any portion
of the fifteen hundred dollars con-
tributed by the so-called Peniten-
tiary ring for that purpose Let
US have all the corners savoring of
unholiness or corruption brought up
square and perfect.
One word more: Col. McWhir-
ter's letter was given a circulation
through the Banner that otherwise
it could never have received. We
respectfully ask, in justice to our
self, that what he have to say in re-
ply be laid before the readers of our
esteemed contemporary.

MARsHALL JEWgrT DEAD

Marshall Jewell, chairman of the
Republican National Committee,
died at Hartford, Conn, on the af-
ternOon of Feb. 10, of bronchial af-
lection. He contracted a severe cold
while in New York on business con-
nected with the National Repubh-
can Committee, from which ensued
pneumonia Mr.. Jewell realized his
condition and retained his faculties
10 the last In the afternoon of his
last day he said to the physician
" Doctor, how long does it take ?"
The doctor inquired what he meant.
Gov. Jewell replied g How long
does it take for a man to die p Ia
your condition, Governor, il is a
matter Of only a few hours" All
right, doctor" and settled back qui-
city upon his pillow.
Mr.. Jewell was born i'm Winches-
ter, y. H, October 20, 1925. He
was bred a tanner and followed that
avOcation until he had completely
mastered the business In 1869 he
was elected Governor Of Connect
cut, and was reelected in 1871 and
1872. In 1873 he was nominated by
President Grant rs minister to Rus
STA, from which he was recalled i'm
1874. Soon after his return he was
appointed Postmaster General by
President Grant, which position he
subsequently resigned. In 1880 he
was chosen chairman Of the Repub-
lican National Committee. He leaves

The death of Gov. Jewell recalls
70 the Nashville American the fact
that about the year 1850 he was an
obscure telegraph operator at Colum-
bia, in this State.

Fraud.

Practicing fraud by advertising all
sorts of vile nestrums in the papers
ought to be stopped. How many per-
sons who read some article that seems
very startling and of interest, find to
their disgust that it is another patent
medicine advertisement. Not so when
Symphyx, the Great Cough Remedy, is
mentioned. Thousands of persons who
have suffered with Coughs, Colds,
Whooping Cough, etc., read the old,
old story about Symphyx with renewed
pleasure. We can recommend it. Too
much cannot be said of it's virtues.

POLR.S ADJUSTMENT.

HIS FRIENDS PROPOSE TO MAKE A
PROFIT on THE SPECULATION.
A meeting of the friends of Polk,
the defaulting State Treasurer, is
reported to have been held in Nash
vile, on the 10th, at which it was
determined to provide ways and
means not only to secure his release
on bail, but also to return to the
State the amount he is in default.
Under the law of the State a crimi-
nal prosecution can not stand against
a defaulter if be returns the amount
embezzled any time before judgment
is rendered; hence Folks friends
will strain every nerve to this end.
One of them said: ave propose to
apply the same forcible readiust-
ment of Folks indebtedness to the
State that the State proposed to ap-
ply to its creditors. There is in ex-
istence notes of the Bank of Tennes-
see, issued about 1862, for which the
United States Supreme Court de-
cided a few days ago the State is
responsible, and which it must take.
These notes are worth sixty cents
on the dollar. We propose to buy
them up and readjust the embezzle-
ment." As Polk has already a
Mexican silver mine, a walnut tract
worth $4,000, $4,000 in notes, and
100000 in other property, all at
tached by the State, his friends
think that once his deficiency paid
he an easily reimburse them, while
The transactions will leave them a
handsome profit in the bargain. 1t
is said men of prominence are in
this speculation.

CHICAGO RAILROAD.
A press dispatch of the 14th from
Charleston, S. c., says that Ex- Gov
ernor Hagood has returned from
New York, where he went on bust
ness connected with the develop
ment ofthe great Carolina, Cumber-
land Gap and Chicago railroad pro-
ject. He says there is plenty of
ground for confident hope for the
speedy construction of this magnifi-
cent and important thoroughfare.
While in New York Governor Ha-
good completed important and ia
vorable contracts for terminal facil-
tiles with the Louisville and South
Carolina roads. Thvse will secure
the Carolina, Cumberland Gap and
Chicago outlet at both ends, the
contracts being good for ten years
from the time the new road begins to
haul freight. Encouragement was
received from capitalists in New
York, and on next Wednesday the
financial agent ofthe road will leave
New York for England in response
to encouraging letters and with
prospects of success as good as they
can be at this early time. When
work is commenced it will be push
ed to completion with rapidity I'M

poets for the completion of the road,
or at least as much as lies in this
State, within two years are excel
lent, negotiations being just now in
the condition of reasonable proba-
