The Knoxville Journal, in d Ia
bored editorial, demands that the
republican party of East Tennessee
and of the State shall have new
leaders-better and purer men. The
party can have them whenever the
voters will so declare. If as q par.

high Offices and leaders of the party.
The principles of the party CON-
mend themselves to thinking men
all over the state; but some OF her
leaders are unworthy the name OF
Republican. The sooner they are
cast off the better it will be for the
party.

The prohibition vote of this year
nearly doubles the vote of two years
ago. 1t may be well for political
parties to understand the signs OF
the times. The people all along
the line are demanding an advance
movement for prohibition. At the
late election this party cast hall
million votes. Its vote will soon be
an important factor in all elections
of this country, having the balance
of power. With whatever party il
combines, success will perch upon

so much to the injury Of farmers.

SOME OF OUR TAXES.

What Tennessee paid over to the
counties of the state for criminal
prosecutions in ten years was$l ,918-
050,9S. This will give the people
some idea of why our taxes are SO
high. This vast sum Of money ia
collected from the people of the
counties in the shape of taxes, and
then the state, after large sum is
taken out by county and state offic.
ais, hand it back to the counties
to pay the expenses of whisky pros.
ecutiOns.
The grand jury of Blount did moi
find any bills of indictment at its
last session, because it would cost
the county. But the people pay tn
taxes and other counties get it.
On account of whisky prosecu'
tons the state paid Davidson Co.
in is years $4O4,932,OO. Blount Co.
helps to pay this to keep the Nash
vile, Memphis, Chattanooga, and
Knoxville saloons. This is what
saloonists call personal freedom, i e
the people to pay for the devilment
done by them. For 1882, 1913, 'S4
and 'S5 the costs of Davidson Co.
were $llS,205. But in Knox County
if we remember right, the costs fol
criminal prosecutions were, for 1885
$4,000.
With these facts before US, let US be-
gin at the right place tOremedy the
evil. BY doing so we will destroy
the liquor traffic; then the costs
for prosecutions will be lessenet
and the taxes we now pay to keeI
up jails, asylums and prisons, viii
be assessed no more forever,

JAMES G.. MATTHEW'S

The adverse report by the Senate
District committee on the nomina-
tion of Mr.. Matthews of Albany
means, that he is not wanted be-
cause he is a Negro or because he
is not a resident of the District of
Columbia. The fact that he is not
a resident of the District of Colum-
bia is more plausible for his objec-
ton than on account of his being a
Negro. The next qre,tion is who
will the president appoint, if it is
his intention to remove Mr.. Doug
lass? Mr.. Matthews must admit
that the democratic party did not
endorse his nomination when it was
made by the president, but colored
republicans did all in their power
TO have him confirmed. The presi.
dent was sincere i'm what he did;
we believe that he would do more
if it were not for his party.

TIE FREEDMAN'S HOSPI-
TAI.

DIR. @. r. Purvls, in an inter
view in one of The morning pap"rs
states that irresponsible parties
aud persons without reputation
are opposed to him. The doctor
will fiud out before many days
that he never was so mistaken in
his life. He Will be convirced
that his opposers are men with
whom he cannot associate and
men who are above suspicion in
this community. He further
sates that certain men are jealous
of him and the Freedman's hospl-
tai. This is untrue. Does DIR.
l'urvis mean to say that DIR. Gar
nett and other reputable gentle
men like him have no req utatlon?
Does he mean to say that the edi-
tor of the Advocate, who is oppos-
I'd to him is without reputation?
Does he mean to assert that the
petition, of Which we have heard,
contain ng the names Of over
500 people that is to be filed
with the secretary OF the Interior
is of no consequence and that the
people whose names appear there
on are without reputation? Sup
pose he waits few days and al.
lows Mr.. Lamar to decide. We
regret to say that this is Que
of the doctors weaknesses, when
persons don't always think and
act to suit him. We have here
tofore had the highest regard for
the doc:or, but we are now of the
opinion that a representative col
ored doctor will be more accepta-
Bile to the people than DR.. Purvis.
In justice to DIR. Francis, we de.
sire to state that he has never filed
an application for the place, or a
letilion nor has he ever requested
that his name should be used di-
rectly or indiI ectly in connection
with the hospital, but we believe

part | cannot blame the so-called
proprietors, but l do place the
blame on two certain men who had
a voice to be heard by these pro.
prietors, to injure their own color.

one certain man who is on his feet
today to aSsail those in the time of
need, that at one time were true
friends to him. Those he has for
saken can and never will forget
him, his time is short and when the
hotel fraternity is down upon him
he can look and expect the rest.
