THE PENSION

The Long Agony Over mt Last-The APP.
pOintment Made.
Maj. J. II. Wagner, Of johnson cou
ty. has been appointed pension agent. II
has been known for several days that the
contest was between Major d. A. Carpen.
ter, of Knoxville, and Major Wagner.
The ~appointee was major of the 18th
Tennessee %(union) cavalry we believe
and after the wal closed, served a term in
the Tennessee Legislature. Since the war
he has beepse Democrat. He is n Of
our best less men. 1t is understood
that a number of dispatches and letters
were sent from Knoxville in Wagner's
interest when it was known that the con.
test was between him and Carpenter,
among them n from Col. George Gam
mon, chairman of the Democratic com.
mittee of Knox county, warning the
President Ito make no mistake" 1t was
this dispatch, doubtless, that brought the
President over TO Wagner.
Among others who labored assiduous.
ly for Major Wagner was Hon. John Al
lison secretary Of state, and late candi-
date for governor who seems TO have the
appointments of the state in the pockets
of his capacious pantaloons. He is no
doubt deeply interested in the success Of
his party, though 1t may transpire in the
future that he has an axe to grind. II
has not yet transpired who Bob Taylor
favored as his successor. 1t was at one
time understood that he was for Andy
Patterson. The inside of the contes,
over the pension agency, If 1t could be
seen, would doubtless be very interest.

General Logan does not attribute all
the growth of the country since 1860 to
the protective tariff, as some organs of
British opinion falsely assert. But he
does show that the rapidity Of growth un-
der that system has been unparalleled in
this or any other country, and then asks;
will any n say that prior TO 1860 our
people were not as intelligent, were not as
energetic as nowf" Yet they have gain.
ed in wealth during twenty-five years
under protection more than twice as much
as they had gained in the whole previous
history of the country, under all forms OF
tariff and oil changes Of party. To-day,
he remarks, farm products are higher
and yet manufactured goods are lowe
than In 1861, and nevertheless the wages
Of labor have increased, both on the farm
and in the factory and mine. This on,
country Is the only one in all the worlt
that has for a quarter Of n century con
s~istently defended Its industry. As a re
suit, the increase Of wealth by 90, Zoo, 90
people in this country is 35 per cent o
the entire increase Of wealth Throughout
the whole world-that Is, twenty-tw
times as many people in all the rest 0
the world do not produce and save twic
as much. Plainly the Republican polio
has given TO the people opportunity an
stimulus for the highest exertion of II
enterprise and energies, and greater OF
p~ortunity and stimulus than the sam
Nation had ever enjoyed prior to 1870
under any policy or party. Pertinently
General Logan adds that a COMPRESSION
session never closes without an attemI
by the Democratic party to break dow
the tariff system under which this ma
velous growth has been attained.

Special Correspondence.
PURDY, TENN, Sept. 3O.-After we
left Lincoln the last of the wealthy slave
counties Of ante bellnm times, in Middle
Tennessee. we struck a different ~civiliza-
ton. No splendid carriages drawn by
blooded horses and filed by ladies re-
splendent in silks and satins graced the
gatherings with their presence, but in
stead. a multitude Of plainly clad and
poorly paid farmers and laborers in va
CONS, on horseback and on foot. The
negro, whose labor is preferred to the
white race by these Middle Tennessee
Barons of the old period, was to be seen
in small squads, while the brawny arm
and horny hand of the poor white man
took his place at the gatherings.
After we left the aristocratic section
referred to and struck Lawrence, the
number of Republicans appeared to in
crease. Lawrence gives a small demo.
cratic majority, but in none is the Repub-
lican gains more marked and steady. The
poor farmers ale unusually intelligent,
and in their study Of the history Of the
Democratic party, are fast coming to the
conclusion that democracy represents the
aristocracy Of the old slave oligarchy or
the landed capital, and that its every i'm
pulse is to secure the cheapest labor.
Therefore, they have driven the poor
whites from the best lands, by preferring
the negro. whom they can work cheaper
and drive harder. These men naturally
turn for sympathy to the Republicans who
have enobled labor by making Lincoln.
Johnson, Grant, Hays, and Garfield Pres
ident, each n Of whom was a poor me-
chanic or a farmer. They see, too, hat
the Republican party is fighting the pau
per labor Of Middle Tennessee and en-
~deavoring to secure for white and black
laborers a fair return for their work.
The accessions to Republicanism in Law
renee has been steady since 1870, among
the laboring whites. In the present can
vass they will gain from fifty to one hun
dred.

Aid for the Drought sufferers-Recent
Rains Not Enough to do Much Good.
Correspondence ofithe Gazette.
ALBANY, TEX, Sept. 4.--The conflicting
reports that come from the different por-
lions Of the drought-stricken district Of
Northwest Texas, would be amusing, II
they concerned less serious matter than
the suffering Of the people. Whether
these varied reports are coIored by inter-
est and the facts suppressed, or, on the
other hand, few cases OF individual
suffering made the basis of widespread
desIitution, would be mooted question,
II its solution depended upon the com
munications that find their way into the
news columns OF our large dailies. So
serious matter should not be made con-
iectural, by speculative utterances OF
correspondents or voluntary contriou-
tors, who think more OF the state pride
than they do of suffering humanity. State
lines and national lines never have and
never will, mark the boundary lines to the
generosity of the American people,
whether It be to aid the sufferers from the
food, yellow fever, cholera, fire, earth
quake or the drought. 1t is not aquestion
Of whether Texas is able to provide tor
her own without outside aid,
but the only one vital question
is, does there exist district whose peo-
Pile are stricken by public calamity, APP
pealing for aid? II there exists such
state OF affairs, we may rest assured that
it will be a pleasure to the generous
hearted people, both in and out OF the
state, to help the needy. Already the
newspapers note the shipment OF car
loads OF provisions from Southern and
Eastern Texas to the stricken district
without freight charges. This sounds
very much al If the Texas people and
Texas railroads are responding to the call
for help.
The recent rains have started the grass
to growing, but it will require a great
deal more TO put a season IN the ground
sufficient to insure crop for winter use.
The ground was only wet to the depth OF
two or three inches.

Why do these Northerners speak Oh

Second, the light-heArted, always alert a, anu y
