The facts in relation to the situa-
ton in Tennessee at the present
time and what brought about this
condition are so ably and truthfully
set forth in a recent article in the
Cincinnati News entitled "The
Truth About Tennessee" that we
are pleased to reproduce it and ask
for it careful perusal by our read
ers. This editorial written by Mr..
H. NJ. Doak, man VINO was first
and foremost in the recent cam
paign, but now in another field
where no influence can effect him
either way, is certainly entitled to
candid and impartial perusal from
all sides. We invite your attention
to it.

The Credit of TeHHesse0Hs.
Nashville Banner.

A gentleman near this city, con-
templating some Improvements,
not wishing to sell property, and
preferring to pay less than our bank
rates, recently wrote to friend in
New York to ascertain whether
the small amount required could be
obtained, on the amplest security.
He received the following reply /:
NEW YORK, January 13-Yours
of-date was duly received. /
have delayed reply till now, hop
ing would be able to serve you;
but the action Of the state of Ten
nessee has so injured the credit of
all its citizens that you cannot get a
dollar of northern capital upon any
thing in the State. There is plenty
of money here at per cent. on
bond and mortgage, and to-day
loans are made at per cent. on call.

would not consider it at all.

WHILE the northern journals de-
nounce Tennessee for its repudiating
tendencies they do not neglect to
worry their own regulators. The
New York Times says of the Dakota
reputation
The Dakota legislature, by its
acts, devised a series of tricks and
expedients by which Yankton
county could escape the payment of
its lawful obligations. The county
officials eagerly embraced every
possible occasion and opportunity
to cheat the creditors of Yankton
county, even to the extent of quail
flying in secret while attorneys
were watching to serve papers, and
resigning in suFreptitious manner
when it seemed necessary to vacate
their places in order to avoid pay
ing the just debt of the county. To
all of these disgraceful proceedings
the entire territory Of = Dakota,
through its legislature, was 4 will
ing garty.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
(From our Regular Correspondent

! (FrOm our Regular CorrespOndentD
The past week has been a very
busy one in Washington. Congress
has been busy in the House and in
the Senate the lobby has been busy
in and about Congress and society
has been busy in hundreds of draw =
ing rooms. Congress has fOrty-one
working days yet remaining, and it
has about four months work on
hand, mostly in the shape of bust
ness that should have been closed
out during the last session. A PEN
sion bill appropriating $50, 10000
for the Army, and 81 100000 for the
Navy, has been passed by the
House; also a bill appropriating
1926, 900 for Notifications.
The Ways and Means Committee
of the House has completed its re-
vision of the tariff bill without
making any important changes.
The bill will be presented to the
House at the earliest opportunity,
and this subject will come up in the
Senate as unfinished business to-
day. 1t is the opinion, however, of
well-informed prognOsticators that
no tariff bill will be passed this ses-
sion.
The House committee on educa-
ton and labor will ask to-day, on
the call of committees, for consider
alton of its bill as reported by Mr..
Sherman, granting national aid to
the common schools of the States
and Territories on the basis of illit-
eracy. This bill has the unanimous
support of each member of the COM
mittee, and proposes to aid to the
amount of $10,000,O 900 per annum
for five years. 1t is a patriotic,
non-partisan measure of the most
vital Importance to the whole coun-
try. No other bill before Congress
touches interests so broad, SO vital,
or Immediately needing attention
as this.
1t is said that the Naval bill,
which will be reported this week,
some very important
clauses striking at the top-heaviness
of the Naval personnel. 1T is wei

aHasaaA And foolish notion
wrote Burns, the gifted Scotch poet,
whose writings, perhape, more than
any other child of genius interpret
more closely the human heart and
depict more accurately the faults
and failings of mankind.
1t would be well. perhaps, for
Tennessee at this time to re-echo
this poetical invocation and read
closely what others think of her.
We have not seen fit to reproduce
much of what has been said of her
by journals outside the State at
this particular time, because we
cannot indOrse many OF the hard
things that have been said. But
doubtless it would be well for her
people to read and know the esti-
nation i'm which she is held abroad,
in order that they may profit by it.
We deprecate much of the abuse
that has been heaped upon us as a
people and State, because it is not
applicable to many, if any, of her
citizens, yet we must admit that
the policy pursued for many years
past in regard TO her public indebt-
edness has given much ground for
the severest reproof and censure.
There is no doubt but that the long
and continued agitation of the debt
question and the failure to settle it
finally and forever, are greatly in
furious to the best interests OF Ten
nessee and il daily bringing dis
grace and discredit upon her.
Many of her people individually"
as stated by Representative Patter-
son in his speech at the Maxwell
House on Tuesday night, were
willing for a higher figure than that
advocated by the Bate platform,
but they abandoned their views TO
what they styled was "the will OF
the people," Many others did not
believe in this "wiIl of the people''
and thought that settlement vol
UNFAIRLY accepted by our creditors
should be maintained. These had
the courage of their convictions
and respectfully but earnestly and
boldly presented them to the peo-
pie. 1t seems that these latter
were mistaken as to what was the
twill of the people," and now
calmly and gracefully submit. The
only thing we fought for, then, and
all that we desire now is that this
vexed question be settled honora-
bly,, finally and forever. If the
present Legislature can and will do
this, we bid it God.speed in its
work and promise our earnest sup
port to any settlement that may he
made which is acceptable TO the
creditors and to the people. This
has always been the effort and in
tention of every State-credit jour-
nal in the State, and any other de-
sire or motive attributed TO them
has either been an ignorant or a
wanton and gross misrepresenta-
ton.

ALL WE COMMENDED FOR.

We are glad to see the following
extract. taken from an editorial
upon the subject of State sovereign
ty in relation to the States indebt-
edness, from that usually sensible
and staunch journal, the Nashville
American, of recent date:
The American is, and always has been, for
recognizing in the fullest manner the rights
of our creditors. We have said time and
sovereignty and borrowing money, and
then putting on sovereignty when payday
came. We have constantly recognized the
debt, but set up what all nations, in all
debts, that a total and radical change in the
physical condition of a country, after the
making of a large public debt, justifies a de-
mand for an equitable settlement especial
ly when war greatly reduces people.
This is all the State-credit party
have ever commended fora fair,
just and equitable settlement of our
Indebtedness a settlement just and
honorable alike to the creditors and
the State, not a "take-this-Or-I'll-
give-you-nothing" settlement, fore
ed and coercive on the part Of the
State, without any voice or say-sO
i'm the matter upon the part of those
whose debt we acknowledge to be
just, due and unpaid. We have
always thought and said there were
certain equities on the part of the
State which were due to her uuder
existing circumstances, and so, it
seems, do the creditors. Their re-
peated efforts at settlement, at
lower rate than the face of the
bonds, show that they recognize
and respect these equities. What
they object to is lower rate of re-
duction than what they think the
exigencies and condition OF the
State demand. Certainly they are
entitled to voice in any settle
ment proposed. This is all the
State-credit party asked for them.

A Young Girl K,dnaoOed.

Miss Zeralda Garrison, a beauti
full and accomplished young lady Of
st. Louis, a member of a wealthy
and aristocratic family, was caught
up upon the public streets of that
great city, in broad daylight one
day last week, by band of daring
kidnappers, chloroformed and car
ried to room in the third story of
house in a thickly settled part of
the city, and there kept in close
confinement by her abductors for
nearly a week, in the hope of get
ting large ransom from her fami-
ly for her return. Her disappear
ance created the most intense ex-
citement in the city and the whole
town was stirred up in the effort to
find some trace of her whereabouts.
The woman at whose house she was
confined, it seems, did not know
that she had been abducted, and as
soon as she saw an account of il in
the papers, became alarmed, turn
ed her out of the room and directed
her to police station, where she
made her identity known. Miss
Garrison gives graphic and thrill
ing account of her capture and
detention by the kidnappers. She
says she was ON her way to the
convent of the Sacred Heart, when
she was approached by two men,
one of whom caught her up and
Immediately applied a handker-
chief saturated with chloroform to
her nose and mouth, when she be-
came insensible, and when she
awakened she found herself in the
room as above stated. The men
stated to her their purpose was to
hold her until ransom was paid
for her return by her relatives, and
told her she must write to them to
that effect. This she was finally
forced to do, but before the arrange
ments were consummated, one OF
the parties become frightened and
went to her relatives and told OF her
whereabouts, but before they could
reach the house, she had been liber-
ated by the woman as above stated.
She was offered no violence while
in captivity, their only object being
to secure a large ransom for her
return.
The kidnapping of a young lady
seventeen years of age in a popu-
lous city is certainly one of the
most daring and remarkable instan-
ces of the kind on record, and reads
more like a tale of italian brigan-
dage than an actual occurance. in
one of our own American cities.
This affair and the off-repeated slug
ging and highway robbing of citi-
zens almost nightly on the streets of
Louisville and other large cities, is
certainly enough to cause peaceable
citizens to doubt the efficiency of
the laws for the Suppression of crime,
and a prompt and speedy resort to
lynch law, when the fiends are dis
covered

heavy fiutter," alighting ignobly
on the ground. This sight at the
Inauguration of a Governor of a
Democratic State, while, of course,
innocent in itself, was undignified
and silly and should never have
been permitted. Many, no doubt,
will heartily agree with the Mem

sorry to see were marred by an
extraordinary and absurd scene

friends of the governor. Such nom

every Democrat elevated to eXecu-

The gray-headed old fellow OF

during the past year, 308 couples
have procured license from our
County Court Clerk to marry, and
"hopes that this large number will
find the matrimonial ties the strong
est of love-knots and that they and
their families may live long and
prosper"
After penning the above, the des-
olate and hopeless old BACH was
seen to hoist his feet up against the
mantel of his lonely sanctam and
dolefuily sigh, "No one to love me,
none to caress." We feel sorry for
the poor old thing.
