"Almost everything indicates a
general prosperity near at hand for
the whole country, and everybody is
predicting this prosperity. This be-
gets confidence, and confidence in the
future is one of the most powerful
agents in bringing about prosperity.
We shall be greatly disappointed if
the next six months do not show a
revival in almost every branch of
business. We trust it may be a con-
sentative movement-so conserva-
tive that it may continue for years.
A big boom is sure to be followed by
a great depression, neither of which
is desirable to the best business inter-
ests of the country"

Justices of the Peace.

In view Of the special election for
Magistrate, to take place here next
Monday, the following extract from
an article in a recent issue of the
Nashville American, will be quite
Opportune:
"Ordinarily the election Of Justice
of the Peace is regarded by the aver
age citizen as a matter of minor i'm
portance and commands but little
consideration or attention. But in
point of effect it is an Office that eff
fects more directly the real interests
of the citizen and the taxpayer than
any other. A Justice of the Peace by
virtue of his Office is a member of the
county court which elects the jurors
of our courts, appoints the assessors of
the peoples property, levies the tax
es, and disburses the revenues of the
county and various other powers, and
is charged with various duties, direct
ly affecting the welfare of the people.
A Magistrate has also judicial powers,
is conservator of the peace, and is
in fact Judge of our inferior court.
"Therefore, it behooves every citi-
zen interested in good government to
look we'll to the various candidates
for such office as they appear from
time to time, see that they are men
of good character and possess the re-
quisite qualifications"

WE had no idea of rubbing the
hair the wrong way when we ex-
pressed the wish that the new editor
of the Tullahoma Republican would
be able to hold the fort till the moon
changes. The fact is, we were very
favorably impressed with the rather
broad-gauge views of his first issue,
but in his thrust at aus last week he
not only displays the lack Of liberal
ity which he imputes to us, but
shows an ugly disposition to spit fire
at everything and everybody. If
Mr.. Baker will trace up the history
of the Republican he will find that
the changes in its editorship have
been quite frequent enough to suggest
our comparison. We certainly enter
tain no i'll will for Mr.. Baker or his
paper, we wish both abundant tinan-
cial success, bat think he will find
Coffee county rather an unproductive
field for Republican paper. AS the
editor of the Republican seems spec
tally desirious of this information, we
will try to give him the location of
the STANDARD on the political bone
yard" so clearly that he will not be
likely to miss his bearings the next
time he favors us with his distin-
guished notice. The STANDARD for
several years past has devoted but
little space to political matters, being
devoted to the more material inter-
ests of the section in which it circu-
lates, but it has always been in hearty
sympathy with the Democracy, and
under its present management, where
it is likely to remain for many years
to come, always will be unswerving-
ly and uncompromisingly Democrat
ic. We are too good a Democrat to
ever desert the old ship, and shall
cling to her as long as she carries a
shred of sail or a splinter Of timber
in hull or masts. We shall labor
zealOusly for a harmonious union of
all the elements of Democracy in the
State, and when the Democratic can
didates are put in the field next year,
whether by one or two conventions,
we shall give them our unqualified
support, and by every legitimate
means in our power aid in their cleo
ton.

THE Nashville daily papers are be-

READJUsrING LAND GRANTS.

A Plan FOR Saving Many Acres Of tho
Public Domain from the Land Grab
bsrs.
New YoRK, Oct. 2O.-A Washington
special says: A novel point has been
made before Mr.. Jenks, assistant sec-
rotary Of the interior, in the matter OF
the Montana Improvements company,
The attorney for that cumpany has
suggested that 1t was entitled to GU
timber from the lands in controversy
because they are mineral lands, and
inc law authorizes timber to bs taken
.p t1r domestic use, and that II
the lands are decided to be
mineral lands they do not revert
10 the government, but to the
company. Mr.. Jenks has said 1t might
De weil 10 proceed cautiously In this
matter, ior while 1t was quite true that
the government could sue for 1000
cords OF wood, they might, in doing 10.
lose 1000 acres OF land.
Tho interior department Ia nrocaad-
ing with tho read djustment of tho land
grant, aud intends to continue thi,
prOtracted ana costly operation. Tna
result, 1t Is claimed, will be the saving
OF great many hundreds OF
thousands OF acres to the
public domain. A decision O. the
United States supreme court has been
found which will be incorporated In
the report Of the commissioner OF tho
land office, in accordance with which
all land grants, 1t Is said, can be re-
adjusted. The president has indicated

readjustment.
