News From the West.-We were

surprised and pleased last week to have
letter from Mr.. John w. Tawcett,
who left Shepherdstown a year ago for
the West, and who has finally settled
down at TeXarkana, Arkansas. AS
Johns friends will doubtless be glad to
hear from him, we quote from his letter ::

Der. took trip through Kansas and
Colorado, and liked the country very
much. but l concluded | could do as
well here as any place else, so turned
and came back. This is quite BUSH
ness place, but not much for style. The
town is on the line, part of it in Texas
and part in Arkansas. We have two
county-seats. | think we have every
prospect for large place, as it is well
located. There are several large whole
sale houses here. But there is one
draw back-the climate as general
thing is not healthy. The summers are
too long and hot and dry. We will not
have any rain for six weeks yet. There
is lots of sickness and many sudden
deaths. came near being one of the
subjects myself last week, but am getting
all right again. Here is little notice
that perhaps will surprise you:

Somewhat Significant.

The following extract from an editori.
al in the Nashville Banner, a democratic
paper, is certainly somewhat significant:
1.-THE machine will Of course deny 1t,
but 1t Is a fact that Mr.. ALI. Taylor's dis.
cussion of the Blair bill impresses very

some facts about the measure and Its
bearings which the democratic oppo.
nents Of II studiously withhold from the
people. The majority Of the people
whether democrats or republicans, like
fair argument, and when they listen to
such specious, hair-splitting and avoid
ance Of the real questions, as some OF
the candidatorial chorus present and of.
forwards hear a plain statement of the
provisions the Blair bill and the benefits
to accrue. they begin to think for them.
selves. There are very many democrats
In this state who favor federal aid to ed.
ucation and the more correct informa.
ton that is disseminated concerning the
matter the greater will be the number of
democrats who will favorably regard it.
1t is o fact that the democratic masses
OF Tennessee are friends to popular edu
cation. The. idea Of raising up the
children of Tennessee in state Of en-.
forced ignorance is as repugnant to them
and as brutal in their estimation as in
the estimation Of any other people, But
their leaders have placed them In q false
position, and they are being used Ia
"vindicate" Senator Harris.

The African Race.

We recently met with q well-known
colored porter Of a Pullman car, who
rum from Atlanta to New York. His
lame Is Augustus l.. Grant, and he lives
at No. $50 Hayne Street, Atlanta. Ga. He
said, II would like to publish for the

fort. of their friends, how / have been

know that many people think the color
ed people dc not have consumption, but |
know from experience that 1t Is a great
mistake. Seven years ago | became a
subject of this forlorn disease, and was
SO pronounced by my physicians. My
lungs became badly affected, my cough

to pieces, My general health broke down
and so declined that | became helpless

Terrible night sweats; no appetite or d.

came exceedingly exhaustive. discharg-

best treatment; some OF the best ply
sicians prescribed for me, and became in
terested in my case. But after two or
three years treatment, finding that / con-
tinued to grow worse, they n by one
abandoned the case until at last they were
all agreed that 1t was only q question Of
time with me, and the time was thought
to he very short. In this condition, with
n foot as 1t were in the grave, and max
ing my preparations to 60 through the
dark waters of death, one of my physi-
clans mentioned to me a remedy which
might be tried as q last resort. His rea-
soning was that consumption being moth

can take. BY 1t skirting the unska
range OF mountains, they can build their
line over a natural roadway. The grades
will be slight and the cost Of construc-
ton will be very small-indeed, 1t can
be made n Of the cheapest roads in the
country. Now let us examine the coun.
ty through which this line would pass.
aud see what the products would be.
From Cranberry to Maryyille the Unaka
mountains are one vast deposit Of brown
hematite iron ore. AT Cranberry 1t Is es-
timated that there are one billion dollars
worth in sight. Further to the west are
iron veins Just as rich and just as valua.
BILE. Along this vein are the Embreeville
iron works. the mines at Birds at Pigeon
Forge, and the iron property owned by a
syndicate Of st. Louis capitalists, which
have been. or are worked.
Bordering on the route We are discuss
ing are found large forests Of walnut,
cherry and othen yaluble woods. Thou
sands and the lnnds of walnut trees,
worth thirty dollars each, are standing
waiting. for the axe. 1t Is q virgin forest
and Is worth as much as q gold mine.
Coming on this way we get into the fin
est marble country In the world. For
extent, variety, and accessibility there il
no section on the globe that presents
greater advantages.
AS we have before mentioned, the
road would pass down the valleys and
these valleys are exceedingly rich in ag-
ricultral products.
A Jousnal man yesterday, had talks
with a number Of leading business mer
and found 1t to be almost an universe
opinion that there is O strong probability
that this road will take the line indicated
II II does, the future of Knoxville Is as
sured. In q year,after the completion o.
the road there vail be half a dozen bias
furnaces and as hany steel works estab
lished inthis city, and In five year
Knoxville will double her population
The growth of past years will be dis
counted. 1t Is almost impossible t
draw the picture In too vivid colors.
OF course like all questions there arr
two sides, and 1t is well to consider this
in order that too sanguine IN estimate O
the situation be not made. Several year
ago the B. &O. road ordered a surve.
made from Lexington, Va, to the south
In this survey the line was taken acros
the Unakas and passed westward on tn
other side. Whether or not this surve,
will stand under the new order Of thing
Is the question. We think IL will not. L
order to gettoD alten 1t will be necessa
ry to cross the mountains twice and thi
will be a needless and unnecessary ex
pense. The country on the other side o
the Unakas possesses no advantage
that would weigh against the largely il
creased cost.

HON. A.

The Democratic Press of the State, as
a rule, has been very respectful towards
our gubernatorial nominee. Ostensibly
this course on the part OF o contempt
raries is due to the fraternal relations of
the nominees; but really the position to
ken by our candidate, based as 1t is on
clear cold facts and presented in his
earnest eloquent way, has had much to
do with the course Of these journals to-
ward him, and why2 Public opinion
has been the largest factor in shaping
their policy. Public opinion has been with
ALI. from the start. His dignifed bear
ing, his clear and logical presentation of
his position on the great issues of the
day in mastery and eloquent language
shows that he appreciates the dignity and
Importance of the office for which he is
q candidate.
1t is noticeable the impression he has
made, everywhere he has spoken, among
all classes, and especially the deepest
thinkers in the opposition party.
Below is an extract from the
Memphis Republican which clearly and
briefly states the situation as 1t appears
to cur friends at the other end of the
State.
1t Is truly gratifying to us to be able
to say that our gifted candidate Is ma.
king a canvass for the Republican party
not unsurpassed by any canvass ever
made. We have every reason to believe
that he will be elected. We draw this
conclusion from our exchanges through
out the State. Steadily and surely he is
daily gaining ground. While his brother
Bob amuses the people by detailing an.
ecdote, he presents facts and figures tC
the people, which are convincing them
that Tennessee, with her great coal and
iron fields, must be developed by the ex
~istence of a party aloof from rings and
cliques; by a party whose managers are
known friends of the people; In q word,
by the Republican party. 1t is not hur

THE scenes presented in Judge Gary's
court in Chicago during the past week,
in the case of the Haymarket Anarchists,
have scarcely a parallel in the records Of
American jurisprudence. The latitude
taken by the convicted murderers in their
haran5ues and the brazen effrontery and
insolence Of their u%tterances are unexam.
pied in IL courts Of justice. The pa
thence and dignity with which Judge
Gary and the officers of the state have
borne all the venemous abuse of the
miscreants is crcditable in the highest
degree and lends a new majesty to our
laws and the processes through which
they are administered.
