X man who lives in Albany. and whose business is that ot a clerk, said that he had lately built a house that cost him three thousand dol lars. His friends expressed their wonder that he could afford to build so fine a dwelling.
 "Why," said he, "that is my smoke house.
 Your smoke-house. What do you mean"
 "Why, mean that twelve years ago left off smoking, and l have put the money saved from smoke, with the interest, into my house. Hence l call it my smoke house."
 Now, boys,l want you to think of this when you are tempted 10 take your first cigar. Think how much good might be done with the mon. ey you arc beginning to spend in smoke. What would you think of man who. to amuse himself should light a paper twenty-five cents and watch it bnrn!

THE OHIO VALLEY RAILROAD.

tits Known fact that the Ohio Val
ley Railroad Company hes recently had
surveyors at work spying out line
through Princeton, Cadiz und CARROTS
burg to this city. 1t is also fact that
this company is supported by ample
capital to build railroad and that it is
building to some southern terminus not
yet determined on.
The company was recenently granted
by Congress the right to build bridges
over the Cumberland and Tennessee
rivers.
Aught not GAINESVILLE to be more en-.
thusiastic over the prospect OF such an
xcellentrailroad connection and exert
herself to secure it?
This is not meant to draw atten-
from the fight now being made for the
completion Of the l., A. & T. road; that
is all right. GAINESVILLE bond holders
should certainly look otter their rights
in the suit now pending in the Federal
court, and no one disputes that it is tc
Clarksville's interest to complete and
put In successful operation the rail.
road to Princeton.
But while this is being done, other
opportunities should not be neglected
The Ohio Valley railroad is going to be
built and GAINESVILLE can probably Sc.
cure it by an effort. She may lose it by
neglecting to make the effort in the
proper time.
Considering that while the Ohio Val
ley is building southwark, Col. Enoch
Ensley is building the Birmingham &
Sheffield road northward, it would seem
that it was certainly worth the while Of
GAINESVILLE to try to induce the two tc
meet here.
We repeat that this involves no neg.
lect Of Clarksville's rights in the l., A
& T. read. This city's prospects of Sc.
curing the Ohio Valley route would be
greater if the l. a, & 7. was completed
to Princeton.

and since the war has represented the
Bird district in congress for several terms
with credit an ability. His home Is
just over the line in Middle Tennessee,
but the greater portion of his old dis

his nomination would satisfy the de-
pand that the next governor come

the idea that it should be given the

es is merely a sentiment Ifitis a true
sentiment, it is an argument in favor Of
the Blair but only asserts one
reason why the Blair bin should be
passed. The South has another
aud stronger equity against the
national government which entities her
to the benefcient provisions OF the
Blair bin. It's certainly due the South
that the government should do some
thing towards educating the illiterate

The proposition the American makes
that the coming convention declare in
favor of the next legislature being run
by party caucus, is Objectionable,
mostly in that it Is unnecessary. Party
cIucauses are always held when it is
deemed expedient for tine party's we'll
fare that they should be, but the matter
OF expediency can't be determined six
months before hand. A party platform

A TIMELY WARNING.

We publish on the first page of this
paper communication from a gentle
man OF wide information in State affairs
and considerable political experience.
He gives some good advice as 10 what
the Democratic convention that is TO
meet in Nashville on the 11th inst,
should not do and bases his admoni-
lions on sound reasoning.
1t is understood that there will be an
effort made to pass resolution through
the convention condemning tie Blair
bill. as has been done in some county
conventions, and If the effort succeeds,
our correspondent rightly prophesies
a disastrous result TO the party.
The experience OF Tennessee democ-
racy in the past would certainly teach
that the party cannot afford discord in
its State conventions. It would be the
height OF folly, the maximum of mad
ness, to bring about division and fac
tional fight over purely non-partisan
matter with which the election of gov
ernor has no possible concern.
Our correspondent rightly sets forth
that the idea OF national aid in this
State is immensely popular and if the
politicians in the convention succeed in
antagonizing it, they will put larger
force on the other side to be shot at
than they can conveniently combat.
This is no threat to bolt. The CKRoN-
IcLE is Democratic paper and expects
to support the party's nominee for Gov
ernor, whatever folly the convention
may commit, but there are many now
good Democrats in the State who will
not only be driven to revolt by such
narrow and unwise action, but will join
the ranks OF the enemy.
Can Tennessee afford to declare
against national aid to education? Ten
nessee that stands at the tail end of the
procession of States in the matter OF il
literacy and poor public schools! II
the Democratic convention declares
against national aid it must OF necessity
declare in favor OF additional State aid.
IL can't afford to take stand on the side
of illiteracy.
1t is plainly understood that the effort
TO pass this condemnatory resolution,
will come from the friends of Senator
Harris and other politicians who want
to be endorsed. Senator Harris is q good
man in his way and the other polite
ians are too, maybe, but the party can't
afford to make any sacrifices in their
behalf.
1t is our advice that the State conven-
ton take no action on this Blair bill or
other questions on which the party is
known to be divided-it is not a whole
some policy for one faction to attempt
to coerce another. A strong pull and a
pull all together is needed to bring the
Democratic party out triumphant in the
coming election. Success cannot come
otherwise. Dire disaster may be looked
for If the pulling is cross ways.

WE sometime ago suggested that
the fishery dispute he settled by fight
between New England and Canada.
On the same principle we now think it
would be right to turn Texas loose on
Mexico and in that way settle the pend
ing squabble with our Southern neigh
Dor. The Texans are the only people
in the Union much wrought up over the
alledged border outrages. They are
sp'ilin' for fight and we believe they
can lick the Greasers if Uncle Sam will
give them permission to do so.

DEATH OF SAMUEL J. TILDEN.

Hon. Samuel J. Tilden died suddenly
at Greystone, his home near New York
at 8:45 O'Clock Wednesday morning.
Though frail and infrm in body for
many years, Mr.. Tilden has survived a
number Of politicians who were in the
glow OF health and manhood when he
was expected to die.
There was no man in the Union bet
ter known and there was none more
generally respected. He was man of
strong intellect, scholarly attainment
and pure character.
Though but little Of his life was spent
in Office, no man in America, at the
time OF his death, was better entitled
to be called statesman. We take the
following Geographic sketch from the
Nashville Banner:
Samuel Jones Tilden was born in
New Lebanon, N. Y, February 9th,
1914. He was graduate OF Yale Col
lege, and studied law and was admitted
to the bar while quite young man.
He entered politics early in life and for
fourteen years was the chairman OF the
democratic state committee OF New
York. He was member of two con-
stitutional conventions in 1916 and the
second in 1872. He took prominent
part in the overthrow Of the Tammany
ring, and was elected governor OF the
state Of New York in 1874 by the DEM
ocratic party. He was nominated by
the national democratic convention ut
st. Louis, June 20, 1876, as candidate
for the presidency. The history of his
candidacy is familiar to all.
He began his career as a political
leader and publicist while Gen. jackson
was yet president. He was champion
of the union and Of President Jackson.
He indicated the removal OF the gov
eminent deposits from the United
States Bank by President Jackson. He
wrote the protest of the democracy of
New York against making the national
ization Of slavery test of party fealty.
He was the first to assign statesmanlike
reasons for opposing coercive temper
ance legislation. He pointed out the
danger of sectionalizing the govern
ment. He led the storming party
which drove Tweed and his associates
to prison and exile. In 1874 he induced
the democratic party to declare in no
uncertain tone for sound currency. 1t
was at his instance that the democratic
party of New York, in the same con-
vention, pronounced against third-term
presidents. During his career as gov
ernor he overthrow the canal ring and
disbursed the lobby which infested the
legislative bodies. He elevated STAN
dard OF official morality. Among the
greatest achievements OF the American
bar must be included Mr.. Tilden's part
in the proceedings instituted by Giles
VS.. Flagg to defeat Mr.. Flagg's title to
the Office OF comptroller OF New York
City, 1856; his successful resistance to
the claim OF Mrs Cunningham to be
declared the widow and heir OF the
murdered DR.. Burdell, and his original
and successful application of the doc
trine of trusts to the officers of corpora
tons in the case OF the Cumberland
Coal & Iron Company VS.. Sherman ct
al. These cases placed him among the
foremost lawyers of his own or Of any
other age.
