THE NASHVILLE UNION.
ANNOUNCEMENT FOR 1886.
The Daily Union.

THE UNION, though less than year old,
has met with degree of success and gained
friends far in excess of its expectation when
the venture was inaugurated. Those who
have been thus kind in their patronage are
entitled to THE UNIONS profound graft
tude, which it is unnecessary to assure them
is fully accorded. Feeling that the time has
arrived when the public demands require
the issuance of larger paper, the UNION
has decided to increase to eight pages, the
first issue making its appearance Jan. 1885,
1t has been induced to take this step on ac-
count of the limited space left by generous
advertising public for the publication of the
news. Its news.gathering facilities have
been enlarged and extended, and in quality
and quantity its original articles will be i'm
proved. No portion of the every-widening
field of news will be neglected. The pOliti-
cal intelligence from Washington as well as
the social gossip at the capital will be full
and complete. A thorough system of state
correspondence has been organized, reaching
out into every nook and corner for the latest
and freshest current events.
The local force has been enlarged, and in
this department it will be the aim of THE
UNION to chronicle all the events of the
day in Nashville in an entertaining man
ner. Indeed, the effort will be to make it
the best local paper ever published in the
city.
The financial and commercial columns of
THE UNION will be kept up to the high
standard that bankers and merchants
throughout its territory have conceded to
them. Unbiased reports will be given in
this important department of the paper at all
times.
Politically, THE UNION will undergo no
change in its views. 1t will continue to sup.
port Mr.. Cle"eland's administration so long
as it continues to administer the government
on true Democratic principles. Its utter
ances at all times will be, as heretofore, in
dependent of cliques and rings.

An Antedote of "Jeb" Stuart.

From paper by General Long
street, in the February Century, we
quote as follows: WJeb' Stuart was
a very daring fellow and the best
cavalryman America ever produced.
At the second Manassas, soon after
we heard of the advance of Mcdowell
and Porter, Stuart came in and made
a report to General Lee. When he
had done 50 General Lee said he had
no orders at that moment, but he re-
quested Stuart to wait awhile. There
upon Stuart turned round in his
tracks, lay down on the ground, put
stone under his head and instantly
fell asleep. General Lee road away
and in an hour returned. Stuart was
still sleeping. Lee asked for him,
and Stuart sprang to his feetand said,
Here am, General
General Lee replied, Il want you
to send a message to your troops over
on the left to senda few more cavalry
over to the right
"'I would better go myself said
Stuart, and with that he swung him
self into the saddles and rode off at a
rapid gallop, singing as loudly as he
could, Zine the cavalry"

THE WEEKLY UNION is in these respects
equal to any of the agricultural papers, and
the farmer and country readers will find that
it gives more variety and better news than

UNION is 81 year, and no where else can
those who are not conveniently situated as
to daily receive as much valuable informa-
ton for that amount.
Sample copies can be obtained by applica

In view of the fact that THE UNION has
doubled its capacity for furnishing its read
ers with news matter it finds it necessary to
return to its original scale of prices.

A writer for the Household, who
ought to know, claims that with a
little care dishwashing will add to
the looks of the hand rather than de-
tract from its beauty. This little bit
of information ought to induce some

kitchen and help ma after meal time,
instead of planting their bustles in a
chair and waiting for the ringing of
the next bell.

Pure and fresh seeds lie at the very
foundation of progressive agriculture,
and it will pay to look up and test
the necessary seeds for the next crops

early, as seedsmen go by the rule,
"First come, first served" and those
who order late are very apt to get
stale seeds. 1t is the same way in

A Pregnant Prophecy.

Editor Labor Enquirer.
|, Some time since, in the course of 6
cursory reading-and before l had
yet turned my attention to a meth
odical consideration of the industrial
question: came across the following
pregnant prophecy by that rugged
thinker and eccentric philosopher,
Thomas Carlyle. 1t was so startlingly
to the point that immed ately iotted il
down as literary treasure and philo
sophical forecast. Running through my
effects, it has this moment turned up, in
company with other jewels of like nature,
culled during leisure hours
"The republic west of US will have its
trial period, its darkest of all hours. 1t
is travelling the high road to that direful
day. And this scourge will not come
amid famines horrid stride; nor will it
come by ordinary punitive judgments
1t will come as hiatus in state craft, a
murder -bungle in policy. 1t will be

aud the munihc mt hand open. Then,
so-caled statesmen will cry 'overpro-
duction , the selfreliant self-potent

and destitution, (5ut surrounded with
the glitter of self ruIe), and ratify by his
ballot the monStrOus falsehOod, over

Infamous lie, 'overprOduction,' thrown
upon the breeze by a senile editor
through a corrupt press. And this
brings ruin upon his country, serfdon
upon himself and death of oppression

Next, he wends his WAY down to tuAt

The resolutions" do no; on their face
show any reason for their existence.
There is no charge made against this
paper. The insnuatiOn is made, how,
ever, that this paper has assumed that
the aboring people of this state will cast
their votes as it directs. That is tue in

a charge against the honesty of this
paper.
The author of the 'reSoiu tiOns" is, be-
sides being an enemy of the editor OF
this paper, (when he is not at hOme), a
political prostitute who, in the interest
of democratic politicians, tried, at the
same time that he was endeaVOrlng TO

another meeting where he claimed the
knights of Labor of Denver were in

resolutions in which he claimed that
the wish of the Knights Of Labor OF

withdraw from the field as a candidate
for congress.

applies to the things of nature, but also
to the faculties of man. This is an in
coDtrov ,rtible truth, hence takes prece
dence over all matter, and demands a
compliance with its behests. Labor be-
ing the first principle in nature demands
the first recognition. Pelf is only sub
sidIary to it, not above it, but subject to
it. There is no midway. 1t is the rig ht
of labor, an the wrongs inflicted upon
it in manifold ways. 1t is a universal
principle, hence it behooves people to
think and move carefully lest, in their
eagerness to aggrandize, they may Vio-
late the sacred injunctions Of justice by
overriding with impunity others right.

LATTER-DAY KNOWNOTHINGIS

Away back in the "ffties" there was
born political party whose cardinal
principle WAS hatred for all who were
not born in this country. Intolerance
WAS the distinctive trai,-the verv es-
sence-of its constituent integrity.
Sired by ignorance aud begotten by
a uuion Of the bAsest elements in Amer
lean civilization, it came to the world
to perform task and fulfill its mission
Of aVOwing national, race and religious
hatred. 1t lit the fires of narrow preju-
dice in the minds and hearts of men who
should be brothers; fratricidal strife
was engendered; wounds we're inflicted
and blood flowed on a soil originally
baptized in patriots blood and dedicated
to liberty and freedom of conscience.
The page Of American history on
which is written a record of the half
decade succeeding 1858 is blotched and
clotted with the blood spilled by che
dagger Of fanaticlsm and the bludgeon
of intolerance.
Such is the infamous history of as des-
plcable a gang as ever cursed the land
with its presence. Such is the history
of fKnownothingism.
Knownothingism died and was buried
beneath the contempt and curses it de.
served. Its seed, however, did not all
die, and In the past decade it has taken
root in the subsoil of narrow minded
ness and latolerant higotrY which un.
happily and unfortunately remains to a
small degres in the United States to-day.
