1t is not at all impossible that the
solid south may suffer dissolution
in a way not apprehended. There
is no doubt that the stream of i'm
migrants just beginning to be de
flected from the bleak praries of the
northwest will gradually drift more
strongly south ward. These men, if
foreigners, do not come with any
marked political preferences, except
that we may expect that their
change of habitation and sudden
zeal in liberty's name will predis-
pose then to fall in with the domi-
nant party, supposing that party to
be the government. But there are
others coming south in increasing
numbers who are republicans from
principle and after mature thought.
They are honest, industrious men,
as free to think as we are. and they
are not expected to and neither will
they recant their politics. They
may not come to any particular
state in numbers sufficient to over
come the democratic majority, but
when they come in all their respec-
liability before people not used to
seeing many respectable republicans,
there will undoubtly follow change
in the opinions of some of our own
people who do not think much for
themselves. If the solid south is
ever broken it will be done in this
way, unless the dissolution is
wrC u9ht sooner by breaking up and
reformation ofparties. We may ex
pect some Of these men to be con
yerted to democracy after they SEE
that the south has been belied ano
misrepresented and that the bulk OF
the intelligence of the south is
democratic, but these changes will
be few, and if they come in such
numbers as present appearances in
dictate, it will not be long before re
spectability is instillcd into the
party at the south and it takes root
in good soil. We hope, however,
that before this ARRANGEMENTS Is
complete the government will be
safely under democratic control, and
that several northern states will be
permantly democratic. If it could
be thus it would be better for us, as
it would render meaningless the
radical shibboleth, "solid south, +"
and obliterate all sectional feeling.

Something Wrong at Nashville.

We mentioned the loss of nine
pounds to the bale on rs bales of
cotton shipped to Nashville by
Capt. Grove. Now comes Mr.. H.
Solinsky and reports loss of near
ly eleven pounds to Che bale on Ill
bales. He lost 100 pounds by the
short weights of the Nashville
scales. This is doing the Nashville
market no good. They have clear
ed two whole bales off of Mr.. So
linsky by means Of inaccurate
scales or careless weighing, but 1t
will be boomerang. If Nashville
wants to handle the $4,000 or more
bales of Giles county she must give
us actual weights. There is q sys-
tenn of testing scales provided by
law. The Pulaski scales are tested
by that system and are accurate.
The Nashville scales could be test
ed and corrected II the commission
merchants there would have it done.
Then there would be no discrepan
cy. We would dislike to see Nash
ville's trade injured, and we doubt
now whether she is any worse than
other cities in this respect, but
these facts show up too largely
against us. There are many planters
in Giles who ship their cotton direct
to Nashville commission merchants.
We imagine that now they will
bring it to Pulaski since it is de
monstrated that our scales are cor
rect and our buyers pay the outside
prices.

Cbeap Life Insurance.

The magnitude of the business OF
life insurance done by such organi-
cations as the Knights of Honor, an
cient Order of the United Work
men, Legion of Honor, etc, may be
inferred from the figures in the re-
cent annual report of the order last
named, which is also the youngest
in the list. During the year there
were 10 assessor ents, each of which
ranged from 81 to So, according to
the amount OF insurance carried by
the individual, Opt of the sums so
collected were paid during the year
benefits Tor policies to the aggrL
gate sum of $1,37O,OOO, which was
divided between something like 500
claims in sums ranging from $500
to $4,000. Since its organization
the society has paid out upward OF
$2,15e,00o. Fhe showing OF the
other orders is doubtless equally
satisfactory. 1t is the great value
of these orders that SO long as they
are kept up they afford a perfectly
reliable insurance at cost and up
on conditions which bring it within
the reach OF every man who is not
physically nnsouhd. 1t is. true they
do not accumulate vast assets and
do not pay beck to the insured a
part of his dividends. Hence their
policy can not be employed as in
vestments, as is 90 generally done
by rich men in the case of the large
stock companies. The benevolent
orders are emphatically the poor
mans companies, and no wage earn
er is excusable for leaving his fam.
lily unproyided for SO long as he can
insure them against want upon so
easy terms.-Chicago News.
