Law is reflex Of public opinion, and should

weak. Nor are the rich chiefly interested in
the maintenance of the rights of property.
The less property man has the more impor-
tant 1t is to him that it be safe. No property
will be safe when once general security that
protects all alike has been lost. There can
be no middlesgr0und, either. The title to
lawful property must be universally protect

the hospitals and medical schools there are
full Of a marvellous, though not quite unpre-
cedented surgical operation, by which an
Algeriand doctor, Prengraeber, has Just
saved the life Of a child in the last stages of
consumption. The little girl, aged ~, was
brought to the Hospital Trousseau wasted
almost to skeleton. The nurses and doc
tors were so touched by her sufferings that
they declared that death would be a mercy.
After long hesitation DIR. Prengraeber de-
termined TO risk an operation, first chloro-
forming the child.
He made cruciform incision between the
fifth and sixth right ribs, and burned out
three cubic centimetres Of the deceased por-
ton OF the lung with red hot iron. In
three weeks the wound healed and the blood
coursed healthily through the child's veins.
She picked up, the flesh grew strong and She
went home cured. In the enthusiasm
aroused by this surgical achievement many
people imagined that there was now a sure
means Of conquering consumption. This Is
not the opinion of most authorities, notably.
OF DIR. Verneuil. On being questioned on
the subject DR.. Verneuil said that nothing
new had been accomplished. Pnemotomy
had been tried before. Another surgical
triumph had been recorded ; that was ali.

Editors Chronicle: TO accuse any
party who is interested in the welfare of
this road of poisoning the minds Of the
people seems unjust. Every stockholder
has right to express his opinion. If the
Tennessee Company would only uncover
their scheme and let the people under
stand what they are after and what they
want, it would then put the stockholders
in position to think. and on the 4th of
November they would be able to accept
or reject the offer of the ''Tennessee
Company But this Tennessee Com
pany, composed Of brains and money,
supplemented by these bank presidents,
and one capitalist (reputed milltonarie)
prefer to lock their secrets up in the

pect to buttonhole every man who can
be persuaded, and in this way carry
their point. 1t is too thin, the American
people are jealous people, and if any
secrets ore KEEP: from us wc get suspi-
cious. We are told that these Tennessee
gentlemen are rich men, capitalists; yet
when we ask what guarantee they are
going 10 give US for the faithful perfor-
nance of contract, the answer is second
mortgage bonds," which about the time
they are due will be worth probably the
paper they arc written or printed upon.
We think if they are rich bankers, &C..
they should give us first mortgage bonds.
None other should suffice. But they say
we can't do this, we want the
first mortgage bonds for the
New York men who furnish US the
money to iron and euquip the road.
Here they let the cat out of the bag.
Here their scheme explodes. They are
no longer the rich Tennessee capitalists,
but just as poor as we are. If we will

it to them they can iron and equip on

WAsHrNaToN, October 25.-A gentle
man just from Tennessee give new
feature Of the campaign in that State.
Before Alf Taylor was nominated for
Governor he was given the nomination
for State Senator in his district, which is
largely Republican, He is still candi-
date for Senator, no one having been
nominated in his stead, and it is not the
intention to do so. Ass there is no law
preventing his being voted for ns can
didate for one or moro offices. he will
doubtless be elected in the Senate.
There is another feature marked out
by the Taylor brothers which may place
Bob in the United State Senate. In the
contest Tor the Senatorship there are a
number Of candidates in veiw of q
possible deadlock Bob will be presented
as dark horse. With ALI in the State
Senate the interest Of Bob as candl-
date can we'll be served. In the event
of vacancy in the Governorship the
President of the Senate, who is elected
from it's members, becomes Governor.
As Alf will undoubtedly 60 to the Satae
Senate, he will be candidate for the
Prssid "ncy, though to be in the line OF
election he will have to effeca an alliance
with the Democrats. If this can be done
and Bob become United State Senator.
Alf hopes to be Governor.

President Duncan of the State Agri-

quietly moving the proper influences to
secure q visit from President Cleveland
to our city during the approaching fair.
The prospects of bringing the Cheif
Magistrate of our great country face to

zens as would be in attendance on the
fair was quite encouraging for time,
but yesterday Colonel Duncan received
letter T ON Ex-Governor Thompson.

which he states with much regret that
having presented the matter to Mr..
Cleveland with much urgency, tho Presi-
dent assured him that it would be inn
possible for him to give the time necos-
sary for the trip.
TO those who knew Of the effort TO
secure the presence of the President at
the fair, and who had hoped it would
prove successful, this is great disap-
pointment as it will be regret 70 the
public generally TO find that the effort
has failed. -Coiunabia Register.

a sufficient area adjacent to their facto-

themselves exclusively to raising cotton
to sell in the seed to the factories, to be
worked up by the new process, adding
two items not counted heretofore, oil
and oil cake, which would go far toward
meeting expenses. Besides the hui
lings are better fuel than peat, and
the ashes afford superior phosphate

that it may operate under this system.
Georgia and South Carolina will take
