EIGHTH

Dec. 15-The Eighth District still ex-
lists, and its citizens still rank among the
intelligent, the industrious, the enter
prising, the good and the bad of the hu-
man race.
The educational interests of our dis
trict are thriving. Our people seem to
manifest q greater interest in their schools
and seem to be concerned in their child
ren's welfare more than formerly. They
seem to have caught the spirit of educa-
ton, realizing that the education of their
children will be their safeguard after
they have been removed from the busy
scenes Of life. Three Of our schools have
adopted the uniform system of text
books; the remaining two are using any
kind and every kind that the parents
choose to send. ] predict that the schools
that are using the uniform system will
be far more satisfactory to all concerned
than the two not using them.

NOWHERE in his long message did
President Cleveland find room to say q
word about the colored people or to en-
courage any Of the movements made to
further their welfare. He could devote
as much space as presidents message
usually occupies to foreign relations, dis
cuss the Chinese question, the independ-
emit state Of the Congo and naturalization
frauds, but he had no concern about T.
600, 900 of people whose future is one of
the most intricate problems the nation
has to settle. Such profound silence is
significant and it will be interpreted as
meaning that Mr.. Cleveland shares the
prejudices Of the Democratic party
against the colored race. When one man
Injuries another it almost invariably
awakens in his mind an antipathy to the
man injured, and the fact that Mr.. Cleve-
land was given the opportunity to write
a presidential message only through the
suppression of the black vote may have
had the effect to deepen his dislike fol
the colored citizens. AT all events, hi
ignores them as profoundly as if they
were inhabiting the wilds Of Africa.

Orange growers are busy gathering and
shipping their fruit to market. The frst
shipments did not prove profitable In
consequence of the unripe condition Of
the oranges. The citizens Of Florida are
turning their attention largely to grow
ing vegetables for the Northern market.

squash, cucumbers, sweet potatoes. etc.,
all do well here and bring a handsome
price, the late cool weather and frost
have injured the bananas, guavas, etc.

expectation Of feasting upon vegetables
during the winter, but Jack-frost was so
greedy that he consumed the whole crop
at one meal.
The health Of the community is good,
with exception Of a few persons who
came here too late to be benefited by the
delightful climate.
There is a large immigration TO this
State as well as quite a number who
came to spend the winter. Almost every
train is crowded with people seeking
homes and health.
Our railroads are small and the rolling
stock is not first.class. The engines are
small and often run with one cylinder.

take crowbars to help start the train. 1t

ahead Of time, and often three or four
hours late.
Mr.. Geo. Galloway, n of our East
Tennessee boys went hunting the othel
day and could not find any game to shoot.

one or two shot took effect in his big toe.

The Democratic majority Of the Su-
preme Court Of Ohio has decided that
the frauds and forgeries in the election
returns Of Hamilton county shall not be
eliminated, and that the Democratic
State Senators elected by these frauds
and forgerics shall have the certificates.
The whole transaction Is one Of the most
disgraceful in the history Of politics.
There is an honest Republican majority
in Hamilton county Of 5000 or 5000, as
has been demonstrated at the last three
elections held in the county. But by
systematically stuffing the registration
list and the ballot boxes, and then forging
returns, the Democratic candidates for
the Legislature were given a few hun.
bred majority. The Circuit Court. on q
writ of m%andamus, threw out the fraudu.
lent returns and elected the Republican
candidates, and now the Supreme Court
has reversed this decision. This decision
is made still more disgraceful by the fact
that one Of the Democratic Supreme
Judges who took part in making This
decision is an appointee Of Governor
Hoadly to fill a vacancy. His success
was elected last October and is a Republi
can, and will take his seat as Don as thu
result Of the election on State officers Il
declared. According to law, all the re
turns ought to have been sent to the

The Result of a Rivalry Between Two
Butchers in Rome.
ROME, Dec. lin the trial yesterday
of a butcher named Tozzi, his wife, son
and daughter, for the murder of Poggi, a
rival butcher, a sensational scene occur
red. Poggi was entrapped into Tozzi's
cellar, where the murder was committed.
The body of the victim was cut into
pieces and the remains were scattered in
a suburban wood. The blood was boiled
into black buildings, which were sold in
Tozzi's shop.
The son made a confession. He mar
rated the story in court with cold blood
cd cynicism, which provoked a howl of
fury, the audience yelling: Away with
him to the scaffold." In reply, the muir

A DEMOCRATIC ISLANDER.

The Nashville american Of the 14th
inst, in an editorial, under the head Of
pension Frauds" says:
East Tennessee is full of pensioners as
lusty and able bodied as any men in the
world. Republican bosses, to maintain
political prestige, have aided thousands
of these persons to get upon the Govern.
ment pension rolls. To this system of
despoiling the Government, and taking
the money wrung as taxes from the people
of the United States, more, perhaps, than
to anything else, the strength Of Repub-
licanism in East Tennessee is to be i'm
puted. There is no better place for the
investigation to be instituted than in the
Republican regions of East Tennessee.
This is an unmitigated SANDER, not on
ly on the pensioners of East Tennessee,
but also on the large number of highly
respected Democratic claim agents who
are now and have been for years, engag-
ed in the prosecution Of pension claims
for these veterans.
DR.. William Sewer, whose reputation
as a physician and a prominent Democrat
was not confined to East Tennessee, was
for years, and up to the date of his death,
q member of the Pension Examining
Board for this congressional district, and
aided and assisted in the examination OF
hundreds Of these soldiers who are on the
pension rolls. The above utterance is a
SANDER on his memory and an imputation
on his honesty.
The hardships, privations and expos
ure endured by the East Tennessee Union
men from 1861 to 1856, first in escaping
the ~conscript catchers of the Southern
Confederacy, and then in the service &
their country, resulted in more or less
disability in nine cases out of ten, and
those now on the pension rolls are moi
only legally and justly entitled to theil
pensions, but every %honorably discharged
Union soldier in East Tennessee ought te
have a pension. The object of the invcs'
tigation is not the detection Of frauds,
for few If any exist in East Tennessee,
but the bosses OF the machine Democracy
are a%pprchensive that the twenty thousand
Republican majority in East Tennessee i.
fatal to Democratic success in the State,
and they hope to intimidate the pension
ers into their support by threatening them
with a loss Of their pensions.
All the powers Of the Southern Con.
fcderacy in 1861 could not make Demo.
Gratis out Of the loyalists of East Tennes-
see, nor will the threats and ISLANDERS of
the Democratic bosses in 1886 accomplish
that result.

Tho Rum Power in Atlanta.

The question Of State prohibition,
either by statutory enactment or State
constitutional provision, will likely go to
the Supreme court OF the United States,
as a result Of a recent election in Atlanta.
On November 20, an Atlanta liquor dealer
and wine importer, acting with a Cincin-
natl firm interested in the Atlanta Brew
ing Company, obtained from the United
States District court a temporary writ Of
injunction, restraining the Ordinary of
Fulton county from counting the ballots
or declaring the result of the election.
The local option law prohibits the sale Of
all but native wines, but it does not pro-
hibit the importation of foreign wines,
and it has been decided by the Supreme
court Of the United States that a per-
mission TO import carries with il the right
to sell. The Cincinnati parties appear in
court as having their vested rights de.
stroyed. They 6 oupon the theory that
the United States government Is bound to
protect manufacturers and dealers In
liquor because 1t recognizes the manu-
facture and traffic by levying taxes on
the product Of the distilleries and on
places where the traffic Is carried on.
This argument will not hold good. The
federal special tax is not a license, The
United States law requires every liquor
dealer to pay q certain amount Of tax; but
the payment Of that tax only authorizes
the person who pays it TO sell liquor IN
accordance NTH The lao of the place. Such
is the specific provision OF the statue. II
is a disclaimer that the United States pos
scsses the right to interfere with the
power OF the State to control the traffic
and is recognition OF the right Of tn,
State to tax, license or prohibit, rs 1t may
