PRESS OPINION.

1t is almost impossible to read a
page of newspaper nowadays,
without getting your nose stuck into
some sort of balsam, liver tonic, or
soothing syrup arrangement before
you know it.-Jetferson County Wis.,

49,
We noticed some confusion at the
church the other night by the put
ting on of several OvercOats during
the singing of the doxology. Boys,
could you not wait minute long
err? and if you do not sing your
self, give at least a patient ear to
this most solemn part of the service.

OF course there are inequalities
that should be adjusted but not by
the avOwed enemies of the system.
1t would be dangerous to the inter-
ests of the whole country to allow
any bill that Morrison would intro
duce or favor to become a law sim
ply because he is the enemy of the
Sustem.-Nashville Union.

Forty colored men, mostly Of
this city, left on yesterdays noon
train for Alabama to work on Con-
don's railroad works. They are to
receive $3.50 per day for their labor,
and are glad to get work. This
leaves very few idle cOlOred men
in Knoxville, although the white
ones are much greater.-KnOxville
Journal.
The editor of a local newspaper,
in proportion to his means, does
mere for his town than any other
ten men, and in all fairness, man
with man, he ought to be support
ed; not because you may happen
to like him or admire his writings,
but because local paper is the best
investment community can make.
To-day the editors of the local pa
pers do the most work for the least
money of any men on earth. Sub
scribe and advertise in your local
paper, not as a charity, hut as an
Observation-Disclosures David Davis,
of Illinois.
The special correspondents, whose
quivering pens descant upon the
glories of Alabama, would be at a
decided advantage unless they were
permitted to dignity the dispatches
with which they food the eastern
press, as they are now in the habit
Of doing. The cold clammy an
nouncement that "BOb Green had
opened a blacksmith snop" would
not have half the weight Of a splen-
did statement that "a syndicate OF
eastern capitalists, headed by Col.
Robert Greene, have decided to
establish a mammoth rOlling-mil
at this point with capital of $500.
OOO.-Memphis Avalanche.
] One thing is certain, and that is
that if we nominate Mr.. ClevUI
land to be his own successor, which
at present seems to us inevitable,
we can not elect him unless we
come to some better understanding
than now exists. In truth, if he il
not with us heartily, and in good
faith, all along the line, we do moi
care to elect him. Between a mug
wump in the White House and q
stalwart republican, we should pre-.
fer to take our chance of the future
in a square hand-to-hand fight on
principle with the republican, get
ting with our victory, if we should
win victory, change of public
policy, than to exc out a precariOus
milk-and-water servitude to a fast
and-loose, pig-and puppy, nOw-you
see-it and now-yOu-d0n't, t0o-good'
to-be-honest and too-great-to-be
useful administration, of Cheap
John statesmen, wearing second
hand apparel and pinchback jewel
ry. This is the feeling among the
mass of the democrats. louisville
