Andy Taylor, The coolest despera-
do that has lived lately, WIS hanged
at Loudon, E. Tenn, Friday.
Thursday the sheriff started with
him from Knoxville when by some
means Taylor snatched a pistol
from the guards pocket and tried to
kin the sheriff. Re th- qght it was
self-cocker else he would not have
failed, Friday he was executed in
private and he maintained his bru-
tai instincts to the last, cursing on
the galIows While the moose was
being adjusted, Sheriff Sprinfield of
Hamilton county asked him if he
felt angry toward him. Tayloy *
piled: Cd id you; Ia rather
drink your hearts blood than any
mans l know" lie then asked
friend to send his body to his moth
er, and the black cap was adjusted
Thus prepared, he stood fully two
minutes RL;le the khots were being
frightened, and at last called out i'm
patiently under the cap, Hurry up
with yonr racket"
The crime for which he was exc
cuted was the killing of two sheriffs
on the train in East Tennessee in
1881 by the three Taylor brothers,
one of whom was prisoner being
taken to Knokville for trial for
murder. The brothers 'fescued him
and together they made their wayi
to Missouri where one was killed byj
a sheriff, another died and Andy
was captured.

It IsImpossible.

The democratic party is stalking
resolutely forward to make an infer
nal fool of itself. 1t hardly escapes
one ENHANCEMENT until it shrouds
itself in another absurdity and
holds its neither ont invitingly to be
kicked. Here we have them, horse,
foot and lunatic, madly fighting to
commit the party to free trade, with
the ostensible purpose of reforming
the tariff at this session of con-
gress, when every man of them
knows they cannot change the
crossing of in the schedule. A
republican senate with a republican
president stand guard inYincibly at
the portals, and the democrats will
have in addition mutiny and oppo-
sition in their own ranks. They
are butting their heads against nm
immovable wall, with not the faint
est possibility Of phasing it. Per-
haps the tariff needs reforming.
Perhaps 1t doesn't. If it does, now is
not the time to do it, because they
cannot. What purpose does it serve,
then, for them to rip and tear and
swear around a matter that they
cannot mend. For nearly hum
dred years the south has borne pa
tIently her part of an onerous tariff
| that northern industri might be
protected from foreign competition,
and now when the time comes that
our own industries are struggling
to the top, our own leaders are
striving to reverse the lever and
leave them to the dangers from
which northern industries were
protected. 1t is absurd, impossible
dangerous, suicidal and idiotic. i
the time ever comes when the dem
ocrats have the poIOeT to readjust
the tariff on the general idea o.
revenue with incidental protec
tion,' then there will be some sense
end excuse for men doing and say
ing the things that to say and dc
now stamps the sayes and does an
unmitigated idiot, and for which
the sayees and doees will refuse tC
help them to power.

1t occurs to us that if the World
would let the American alone to do
the best it knows hoy, and then
devote its own energy and time to
doing the best II knows how, the
arrangement would render it more
probable that perhaps in the sweet
by-and-by there would possibly be
more credit to each for something
tangible performed. We've seen a
a coon up sapling fast sslaep in
blissful security while a dog was
barking up the back wall of his
lungs trying to wake him. We've

seen hornet sting an elephant

We've seen a minnow tease mud

We've seen fly kick at a mule and

The Pulaski citizen. [volume] (Pulaski, Tenn.) 1866-current, 1883-11-29

The short weight hubbub at Pu-
laeki is believed to be an advertise
ment cqncocted in the interest OF
that town. 1t is not calculated to
seriously damage the Nashville cot
ton trade. The regulations of the
cotton men here and of the
welghers will bear comparison with
those of any other place.-Banner.
There is nothing concocted
about it. Capt. Grove lost 8
pounds per bale on 70 bales and H.
Solinsky lost IL pounds per bale on
lis bales, which is nearly our
bales of cotton in the whole lot, &C
tual loss by short weights at Nash
vile, Let the Banner state the
facts, and then let the public judge
if the above is not silly concoc-
ton ofthe Banner TO get around
facts it cannot answer nor explain.
Pulaski is the best market and the
Banner knows it and the people
know it.
