TENNESSEE SENTIMENT.
Ex-Gov. Porter's Views of the
Presidential Election.

New York World.
Ex-Gov. Porter, of Tennessee,
who is stopping at the Fifth Avenue
Hotel, said to a World reporter
"This is an off year in politics, and
down in Tennessee we are looking
out rather for our material welfare
than for any fish to be caught in
the troubled sea of politics. We
are making preparations adequate
ly to present our state at the south
ern exposition to be held in Louis
vile, and we intend that the great
cotton, mining and coal interests of
our state shall not be second to any
other in the union. The new south,
if may so term it, is seeking to be
independent of the north, not in
the sense of the ante-bellum days
but in the better way of self-depen
dence on the products of its own
manufactures. Our mills are in
full running order, and new ones
are being planned and erected,
while the cotton W which grows on our
soil is to be spun and woven right
at home instead of being sent to
the New England mills. The Louis
vile exposition will give a great
stimulus in this direction, and will
attract to Tennessee as well as the
rest of the south the wealth of
the capitalist and the muscle of the
laborer, both of which are urgently
needed.
"Does not the material prosperity
of the south greatly depend on the
tariff question:
SIN a measure it does. If En-
gland were to retaliate for some of
the unjust determinations against
her in our present tariff rates by
shutting down on her importations
of cotton and grain the south would
feel the blow more keenly than the
north or east. Still, the people of
Tennessee are not prepared to ac-
cept radical doctrines of free trade.
You may say that the utterances of
the Ohio democracy on that sub
iect just suit us. Tariff for revenue
to meet the expenses of an econom
ically managed government, with
Incidental protection to produc-
tive industries without creating any
monopilies, is the plank on which
Judge Hoadly is bound to win, and
if the national democracy are wise
they will adopt it in their national
platform next year"
''But they will want candidate
to stand on that platform. Has
Tennessee any favorite son2"
mo. We are ready to accept
and heartily indorse any candidate
which the convention may see fit
to nominate. Each of the gentle
men at present spoken of in con-
nection with the nomination has his
friends. Hendricks, Mcdonald and
Tilden are all mentioned, but 1 do
not observe any general drift of
sentiment towards either"
(which of the candidates for
speakership do the Tennessee Con
gressmen favorY'
"They are a unit for Carlisle.
His election to the speakers chair
would be hailed by Tennessee with
unbounded delight. We regard
him as most capable man for the
position. We recognize Mr.. Ran
dall's past service to the democrat
ic party, but he can not hope for
any support from the Tennessee
congressional delegation"

A Special from Winchester to the
American says:-The Beasley bill
to enjoin funding under the sos
act of the legislature is already in
the hands of Judge Williams. He
has not yet acted upon 1t, and may
not for several days, as he may take
some time in its consideration
Beasley's bill raises all the ques
tions raised in the 1908 bill, except
the coupon feature.
Beasley thinks he will be able to
obtain the injunction without the
question as to the coupons being
made receivable for taxes, and he
may be able to do so, as the judge
is attaching sufficient Importance to
it to give it a very deliberate ex-
animation.

ture, statistics and mines. Each
county is cited separately;

prospects much better. Wheat
damaged by rust. Cutting over;
thin, but well headed.
Cannon-Crops are reported
backward and apples scarce.

rust. Tobacco looks well, but ow-
ing to the scarcity of plants the
crop is short. Corn looks well, and
wheat will make near the average
yield.
Clay-The wheat is damaged
some by scab, but quality consid-
cred good.
Coffee-Wheat crop is bad, some
not being worth cutting. Wheat
also damaged by rust. Oats frs
class. Apples dropping off, but
other crops in good condition.

Curious Chain of Casualties.

BROWNSVILLE, Texas, June U.s.
Day before yesterday afternoon
three girls, named Inez and manu-
ella Mora and Juana Flores went to
take bath in the river above town
and were drowned. The body of
Juana, aged twenty-five years, was
recovered this morning at the ferry,
and that of Manuella, aged fifteen,
last night, at the Santa Rosalia
ranch below town. The body of
the other girl, aged thirteen, has
not been found. This is the third
of remarkable chain of accidents
all alike. About three months ago
three girls ere drowned at Regno-
"a, fifty miles up the river Last
month three girls were drowned
near Santa Maria, thirty miles up
the river, and then comes this &C
cident exactly like the others.

DIR. r. L. G. White, editor of the
Lebanon Herald, was elected secre-
tary of the Tennessee Press Associ-
aaion, yesterday, for the four
teenth time. During the fourteen
years in which he has held the office
he has not missed an annual meet
ing, which cannot be said of any
other member. The moving spirit
at the organization in 1871, he has
ever been the same painstaklng,
tireless, energetic secretary. 1t
may almost be doubted wether the
association could manage to hang
together at all without him.-Amer-
lean.

A dispatch from Little Rock,
Ark, says; Lawlessness has long
existed in Corner, Garland, Yell and
Montgomery counties, where out
laws have organized a reign of ter
ror. In April VIM. Potter was as
sassinated and the criminals open
ly defy arrest. Last Sunday an
armed party took possession Of a
neighborhood church, and drawing
arms on the preacher compelled him
to read notice warning officers and
leading citizens to leave the country
or be killed. To-day Gov. Berry
issued a proclamation urging the
sheriffs and other officers of these
counties and all good citizens to use
every effort to hunt down the des
peradoes. He expresses the deter
mination to break, up the murder
Gus band.

Irish Paupers.

1t is estimated that $4,000 indi-

were sent to the United States dur
ing the two months ending, June 90
oy the English government as
assisted emigrants" and it is
charged that many of these paupers
shipped here by our mother country
are criminals. The authorities at
Washington are considering the
matter and steps will probably be
taken soon to put q stop to il.

The democrats of Iowa open
the compaign to-day with a better
chance to carry the state than they
have ever had. The republican
party is divided on the liquor ques-
ton, and some of the leading re
publican journals, the New York
Times among the number, are dis
satisfied with the platform of the
party and admit that if the repubi
cans are not defeated their majority
will be cut down ut least two-thirds.
The state has been under republi-
can control for twenty-elght years,
but tits now possible that the dem
ocrats will not only gain control but
elect U. S. senator and carry the
state in 1884.

The most important work laid out

The most important work laid out
by the Press Association was that
of giving authority for systematic
work in the preparation of history
of the Tennessee press. And we
may say here, and the statement
will receive the endorsement of
every newspaper man in the state,
that no more competent man could
have been chosen for the work in
hand than g. H. Baskette, of Muir
freesboro. He is one of the most
forcible and yet graceful writers in
Tennessee, and withal a thorough
student and will make q book both
readable and instructive and of
great value and peculiar interest to
the profession. Every editor and
publisher should give him ready
and willing assistance in procuring
the necessary data.-Banner.

The st. Louis GlObe-Democrat,
after a careful review of the out
look for 1884, makes an estimate of
the probable electoral vote which
gives the republicans fifteen states
and POI electoral votes (including
Ohio, New York and Pennsylvania },
and the democrats twenty three
states and 200 votes. 1t then con-
cludes: ''This is giving the dem
ocrats all the states the republicans
do not actually need, and more, of
course, than they will carry, but
transfer New York and Ohio, or Ell
ther of them, from the republican
column, keeping in mind what
bearing such transfer will have on
other states, and it will be found
impossible to fill the gap from the
other column with any degree of
probability whatever. The fight is
right in the big states, and the re-
publicans must be freed from all
the outside embarrassment that
little men would crowd upon them"
The Globe-Democrat is frank and
candid, to say the least, and makes
an admission that few other repub-
ican papers would make, that the
canvass is likely to be so close But
even in this it errs. New York is
sure to go democratic, and it is
barely possible that Ohio may also.
What Pennsylvania will do remains
to he seen.
