Democracy VS.. the Commission.


Democracy means the rule of the
people. Applied co our institutions,
it means equal rights, protection to
property, freedom ofexpression, alb
solute equality before the Las of all
persons who assume citizenship
These can be traced and analyzed
into minuter expressions and prin-
ciples. The party can adopt pol
icy with reference to a detail in
government, as fence law, dog
law, ETC.. but that does not make
that policy democratic doctrine. 1t
is simply declaration upon a de
tail. stamped with the party APP
proval. If one differs with the par
ty expression upon that detail it
does not affect his democracy,
which reaches back into prime
causes in politics and relates only
to general principles. So a mans
opinion upon a railroad commits
sion does not affect his democracy.
The party may stamp it "approV-
ed" because it considers its adop-
ton as necessary to the carrying
out of it's general principles, but it
cannot make it a doctrine because
it is a mere detail of government
aud does not relate to or illustrate
cardinal democratic principle.
Democracy is nothing if it is not
the champion of the laws suprem-
acy, and when the law steps in and
declares one fits approved Imeas
ures illegal, it is the duty of demo
Gratis to renounce and rescind that
measure, because their democracy
teaches them that the law is su-
prelne and must be upheld. Upon
the railroad question, then, democ-
racy traverses itself. 1t adopted it
as an auxiliary measure of govern
ment, but the courts say it is lille
gal, and that expression of the
courts calls into activity a prime
democratic principle, supremacy
of the law" and forces democrats
upon principle to undo a measure
they attempted upon expediency.
The late convention bowed before
The law and failed to endorse its
previous action, but declared for
another form of commission, thus
absolving the people. There is no
obligation upon any democrat to
support the present mnissiOn,
but one of the cardinal principles
teaches him to oppose it because
the courts hold it illegal.

DR.. Thos. B. Harwell puts to
shame the balance of us in his zeal
for the cause OF education. He is
instant in season and out, always
abounding in argument and plea for
the Introduction into our common
school system of provisi n requir.
ing the teaching of the elementary
principles of agriculture. He is
eminently sensible and forcible in
his expressions, as all are convinc
ed who hear him from time to time
in the farmers meetings. The car
rying out of his ideas involves the
very highest interests of our coun-
try. 1t was shown Saturday that
the Germans defeated the French
because of their superior education,
and that the French, learning the
lesson in defeat, applied the system
and by it broHght themselves into
an unprecedented prosperity which
enabled them to accomplish their
wonderful feat of paying the Ger
man indemnity. The education of
the masses underlies a nations
prosperity and that prosperity
comes in exact ratio to the advance
ment of the masses. This truth
has not been materially felt in our
new country because our soil was
fresh and our mines inexhanstible
and riches came to us whether OF
not; but our soil is getting to
the point where the science of agri
culture is necessary for its preser
vation and improvement. DR.. Har
we'll discusses these matters learn
edly. AS master of the state
grange, he is in position to force his
ideas into legislative shape. The
people should hold his hands up.
If his ideas are grated upon
the law and carried into effect i
will be the longest stride farward
Tennessee has made in her history.

SHOT HIS WIFE THREE TIMES.
The Crime Which the Jealousy of Frank
Jameson Led Him to Commit.

Frank Jameson, a jealous negro shot his wife
about II o'clock last night three times with
probably fatal effect Jameson is a common la
borer, and not very agreeable husband.
Two years OF more ago his wife applied for di-
vorce, but it was refused by the court, and they
lived together only part of the time since.
Their domestic life has been a sort of Kilkenny
existence The woman was not
very devoted spouse and Jameson
seems to have not been very amiable husband.
They have separated every few weeks, but would
penitently return to each other after the lapse
of a few days. Jameson loved the woman more
than she did him. and in the desperation of his
jealousy he has repeatedly threatened
lately that if she would not live with him she
should not live with any other man. Frank
Thompson. a negro employed in Streght's plan
ing-mill has in the last few weeks been receiving
from the woman the attention which Jameson
felt was dueto him, and the evidences of the fact
which have confronted him made him desperate.
Last night he called at the house, in the rear of
32I South East street, to see his wife, for the
the purpose, as he states, of having talk
with her with the hope of bringing
about another reconciliation. He found that she
was not at home, but that Thompson was asleep
In her bed. Jameson left the house IN great
rage, and met his wife returning
nome III company with sister
He told her that he wanted to have talk with
her, but she had little to say. However, Jane
son walked along beside her. and repeated his
request more urgently
Il am told, she said, that you have threat
ened to shoot me 1 don't want to have anything
to do with you"
II haven't threatened anything" repea ted
Jameson but Ill tell you right now that you
shall not live with any other man if I can pre-,
vent it"
AT this juncture of the conversation they had
reached the house, and as the woman started to
open the gate, Jameson drew his revolver, which
she attempted to take from him. He jerked it
from her grasp, however, and, as she started to
run into the house, he fired three shots
at her, two taking effect in her back and in
the arm. Jameson was arrested a few moments
afterwards by Patroiman Thrush and Merchant
Policeman Cook, and was sent to
the police station on the charge
of assault and battery with intent to
kill. Thompson, the woman's paramour, was
also arrested and locked up on charge of asso
ciating with a prostitute Police Surgeon
Hodges made an examination of the wounds of
the woman, and thinks that, while they are
Of a dangerous nature, they may not result

The Citizens, National Bank.

The Citizens National Bank, of this city, will
close its doors next month. The twenty-year
charter of the bank expires in November, and
it has been thought best by its owners not to re-
new This bank will pay its depositors in full
and will also pay back the $780, 900 capital stock
the shareholders put into it twenty years ago,
and surplus in addition. The public, and es-
pecially the depositors, express a general regret
that this useful institution should take this step
The record of this bank is very different from
some of the late banks of this city 1t has not
enjoyed the reputation of being a progressive
bank, but on the other hand has been called the
''old fogy bank Of the city" Its management
has always been conservative, and it has
succeeded well in taking care of
its own capital as well as the
capital intrusted to it by its depositors, and has
paid since organization over $780, 900 in divi-
dends. OF course, it has had some losses, but it
was wise enough when national banking was
very profitable to lay by a surplus that has more
than met any bad debts. The bank was organ
lied twenty years ago, with Isaiah Mansur as
president, and A. G. Pettibone as cashier. John
Thomas, William Mansur, Nicholas McCarty,
George B. Yandes, J. II. Baldwin and J. H.
Vajen, the present directors, have all, with the
exception of George Yandes, been directors since
its consolidation with the Fourth National Bank
The present officers are George b. Yandes, presi-
dent and George w. Johnston, cashier Mr.
Yandes has been with the bank fifteen years, and
Mr. Johnston seventeen years. The teller
Charles Krauss, entered the bank as a messen-
ger nineteen years ago. The present banking
building was built when the late lack Mansnr
was at the head of this institution, and is a
credit to the city. The vaults are among the
strongest and most secure, the building being
well fitted for banking purposes.

THE WHIPPING-POST.
An Old, Familiar Scene Re-Enacted in the
State of Delaware.

State of Delaware.
Newcastle Dispatch to Baltimore American.
Seven prisoners, convicted at the present SEES
sion of the county courts for various infractions
of the criminal laws received the corporal part
of their punishment in the iail-yard this morn
ing A crowd Of about four hundred people,
including the rabble and gamins of the city and
bevy of Wilmington courtesans, in paint and
powder, witnessed the laws vindication and eX-
tracted- much amusement from the writing
contortions of the suffering victims. Sheriff
Martin applied the 'cat" vigorously, holding tin
his left hand and cracking it smarty with telling
effect over the shoulders and backs of the men
bound to the posts. All the prisoners showed
that the punishment was severe, but some
nerved themselves and stood the cat with but
little cringing The first prisoner brought
out was Edward Redden, convicted of horse
stealing. At 10 o'clock the pillory was
opened and received his neck and wrists He
held the position one hour, evincing great anxiety
to be released toward the the latter part of his
stand. AT IL o'clock he was released, and walked
down the ladder, saying he felt quite well as
when he left the cell. He was afterward given
twenty blows with the ''cat." The first half of
them he bore fairly well, but the last ten set his
shoulders red. He tried vainly to dodge the
blows, and looked first plea6;ngly and then
defiantly into the sheriffs stern face. George
Stewart, the other white man whipped, VS.
convicted for the theft of harness. He got ten
lashes, lightly laid on, his punishment being
made as light as possible account of his suf-
fering with consumption. The blood began
trickling down his back as he left the post
Harrison Rothwell, alias Sugar Awful,
torious negro thief, who pleaded guilty to lar
ceny on four indictments, got the most severe
punishment of any of the cuprits. His SEN
tence was twenty lashes, and they were most
vigorously laid on. Each stroke of the lash
curled up the black skin in wets but the young
miscreant did not show by his
actions that the sherifs blows We're
terribly painful. James E. Groom
quite as notorious as Sugar Awful for his par
ticipation in thefts, was candidate for twenty
lashes. The cat was laid on heavily, but the
thief grinned and bore the pain without an ex-
clamation. Isaac Henderson received twenty
lashes, well laid on. He squirmed and kicked
a good DEAL and gave vent to his feelings in
profane Explanations, which, however, did not
have any effect upon the severity of the punish
ment. George Norris and Frank Congo for
larceny, were punished with ten lashes each,
which they bore without murmur, the cat
being lightly applied

If it is desired to grow hyacinths in ornament
al pottery that has no drainage, sphagnum can
be used but it must first be cleansed; place it
loosely in the vessel; this plant the hyacinths.
Cover them with green moss, moisten the whole,
and water freely every other day. A very pretty
effect may be made with a coarse sponge, such as
is used for washing carriages. Make missions in
it, and place bulbs in them; place the sponge in
the top of a vase filed with water. Scatter
rape seed over the surface which will sprout
and cover with messy mantle. A large china
bowl, glass; dish, or ornamental pottery that
will hold moisture may be filled with silver sand
in the shape of a pyramid. In the center place
a hyacinth, and at equal distances around the
sides three or more. Fill the spaces between
with dwarf tulips, crocus, jonquis, snow-drops,
and dwarf scilas. Push the bulbs into the sand,
so that only the tops can be seen. Then i'm
merse the dish in pail of rain water for a few
minutes, until the bulbs are set in position

Another Suit for Damages.

In the Superior Court, recently, Robert Car
roll was awarded $95 damages, on account of the
cruel treatment of his son, Alfred Carroll, by
Gardner Speaks and Francis Perrigo, dairymen,
living north of the city, The suit was brought
on the allegation that while the boy was en-
ployed by the defendants he was not allowed
sufficient clothing or shelter during last winter,
in consequence of which his limbs were frozen,
and he was permanently injured Yesterday
the boy, by his father, brought suit on his own
account against the same defendants for the
same causes, demanding S. 600 damages.

Hyacinths for Winter.

When hyacnth bulbs begin to throw out their
roots they signify that they desire something to
root in About this time should be selected
those that show disposition to start for the
first planting of those which are to be grown in
doors; successive paintings may be made every
two weeks until Jan l. The bulbs first planted
put in will blossom in May. 1t will be early
enough to plant hyacnths for outdoor blooming
from the middle of October to the end of of No
vember. If the ground be covered with manure
or straw they can safely be set out as late as
January. Hyacinths may be grown in soil,
moss, sphagnum, sand, or in glasses of water
They are of such easy culture for house plant
that they are called the domestic fower.' In
any kind OF pottery or basket that will hold
sand soil, or moss, hyacinths will thrive with
proper treatment A window-box filed with
