The Platform Does Not Oppose It.


The Memphis Avalanche insists
that the national democratic plat
form does not refer to the Blair bill
in the following clause:
We are opposed to all propositions
which upon any pretext would convert
for collecting taxes to be distributed
among the states or the citizens thereof.
The Avalanche contends that this
clause was inserted to meet and op-
pose the wild scheme proposed by
Mr.. Blaine Of distributing the sur
plus among the states as clear gift
without conditions or limitation.
Such a reckless proposition coming
from the nominee of the national
republican party needed denuncia-
ton in the opposing platform. No
one ever dreamed that it was
meant to refer to anything else until
recently. The Nashville Union dis
cussed this question at some length
a few months ago, taking the ground
now taken by the Avalanche, not
OAlJ SAOUAhS OhoE ShO SAouoO was
meant to apply to Mr.. Blaine's
scheme, but that it could not be
said to refer to the educational bill
because the platform hak already
treated of the educational question
and made its deliverance upon that
question. If this clause had been
meant for the Blair bill it would
have been placed in connection
with the other clause upon educa-
tion. The history of the times and
events out of which the platform
grew clearly corroborates this view
of it. We have not thought it nee
essary to refute this false interpre-
tation during the canvass for the
harm it might do, but now that the
election is over let's have history
kept straight and relieve the ma
tional democratic party of the false
accusation that it opposes national
aid TO public schools.

A Boy Who Will Be Heard From.

Boston Evening Post.
By way of pointing out the diff
ference between illiteracy and lack
of intelligence the historian sub
mits the appended letter, which
was sent to lawyer in reply to the
latter's advertisement for a boy to
work IN his office. The letter which
follows is exceedingly illiterate, but
it is running over with intelligence.
The historian may precede it with
the statement that evident zeal and
earnestness of the boy who wrote it
were regarded as fully compensat-
ing for the defects in his spelling,
and be was taken into the lawyers
employment on trial at once:

$110 special gifts, SAT woman's
missionary society and you will
see that Giles county Methodism
has contributed in twelve months
1884 to send the gospel to turn
the heather "from darkness into
light, and from the power of satan
unto God" This is my first Item
and l follow it with reflection: l
have known the county nine years.
1t is to-day, more completely under
the influence of the Holy Spirit than
1 have ever known it to be. Fewer
drunkards, fewer men employed in
making drunkards, more faith
public confidence, greater solveney,
less litigation, purer, nobler, more
energetic, pushing young men. 1
do not believe that one dozen of
tue 4,406 can be found who dance.
Perhaps twice that number attend
the theatre occasionally. The bal
lot box so grossly polluted all
around us is comparatively free
from corrupting influences. The
character of the candidates put
forth for public trust has greatly
improved. As a general thing good
men have been put in offices of
public trust. The religious body of
which l write has been a factor in
this grand work. This body Of
Methodism promises its pastors
$5,730. Or This amount So, AL
were patd. The Deficiencies we're
on Smyrna, Pleasant Hill, Lynn
vile, Pisgah snd Bee Spring. Pts
gah has the largest mem bership Of
any pastoral chare in the county.
Indeed it is the largest member
ship in any circuit in the Tennes-
see conference. This circuit paid
its pastors less than So cents per
member. Elkton has the smallest
membership Of any pastoral charge
in the district, 12l. They paid their
pastor more than $2.S8 per mem
Der. Olivet pays 1922 per member.
Smyrna and Pleasant Hill, a mis-
sion, paid its pastor 40 cents per
member, so the Methodism of the
county paid near 50 per cent. of the
amount promised it's pastors.
This is my second item: Refec-
ton No. 2. The pledges to the
preachers for support have not
been as great as they should have
been, but we are making prayers in
that direction, and there is a high
purpose being formed in the hearts
of the people to take care of
their preachers. Local itinerants,
narrow minded stewards, have Civ
en- place to big-hearted men in the
stewardship and live intinerants in
the pastoral work; and preachers
and people are brought into mutual
sympathy. OF the twelve charges
seven have parsonages. This adds
to the. ease with which our preachers
are supported, besides the uncount-
ed kindness of a thoughtful and
loving membership. But while L
am on Giles county Methodism and
money matters let me go further.
They have paid $279 domestic
missionary money, $40 bishops
funds, $29950 conference fund,
1924 church extension, $50 delegates
funds, $40 for printing minutes and
81, 544 for other objects, including
Sunday school money, repairs on
chuches, relief of the poor, etc.
$1,000 has already been provided
for two new churches now being
built. 1888 on presiding elders
salary. Here is the result:

We are informed that some of the
republicans are very mad with THE
CITIZENS editor for the way he
fought them during the canva IS.
We would be sorry to hurt any in
dividuaps feelings but we are ex-
ceedingly delighted TO know that
they felt the effects of the blows we
gave them. We tried to flatten out
the republican party in Giles and
kill it too dead to kick. If we have
wronged any man we are ready to
apologize, but it would be impossi-
BILE to wrong the rotten old party
itself. The CITIZEN always comes
in for big cursing when these fell

The Spirit of the Farm has the
following to say in its issue of the
9th inst:
"With this number the publication
of the Spirit of the Farm as a separate
journal ceases. Hereafter it will be
consolidated with the Farmers Home
Journal of Louisville. The latter Jour-
nal will assume and carry out all con-
tracts for advertisements and subscrip-
tions to the full time contracted for.
We hope all our friends will give that
journal the same support and friend
ship heretofore accorded to this paper.
With the addition of the subscription
list OF the Spirit of the Farm tile Farm
ers' Home Journal will reach nearly
every neighborhood in the south which
makes it most valuable medium OF
reaching the eye of the public, hence
our advertising patrons will not lose
anything by the transfer Of their BUSH
ness.
The Tennessee department of the
Farmers Home Journal, heretofore
conducted by Capt. John w. Morton,
will be conducted in the future as in
the past, with whom all contracts for
advertising and subscription must be
made, office at Nashville"
The Farmers Home Journal with
a single exception is the only week
Iy agricultural and live stock jour
nal published south of the Ohio

circulation and influence this con-
solidation will greatly enlarge its
field of usefulness and give addi

Bob TaylOr's Majority About 10000.
News From Elsewhere.

Special to the CITIZEN.
NASHVILLE, 4:45 p. m, Oct a.
The best indications at this
hour point to about $4,000 MAORI
ty for Bob Taylor. Democratic
lethargy was offset by republican
laziness, which alone saved his
majority at this respectable figure.
The official returns show the cleo
ton of the entire republican ticket
in Davidson except Hadley, the ne
gro, who is beaten by Judge Merritt
$50 votes. 1t is the old tale of the
monkey and the chestnuts. Niger
is good enough to vote but not to
hold office. Washington beat Nye
for congress.
Seven democrats go to congress
from Tennessee and probably eight.
Neal in the the third seems to have
about hundred majority. McMil-
lin beat Turner about 5000. Turn
er's race is considered by Blair bill
democrats to haYe been creditable.
1t cannot yet be determined what
the democrats will have in the leg
islature, but there are only small
republican gains.
Louisiana returns a democratic
delegation. Minnesota goes 10000
republicans. Republicans gained
in Indiana and the democrats
in Nebraska. Wisconsin unchang-
ed. Five democrats and one re-
publican congressman III Maryland.
Six democrats in Georgia and all
of Alabama democratic. Usual
democratic majorities in South
Carolina. The democrats make
some gains in Kansas.
Frank Hurd's defeat is assured.
1t fits along with the holocaust that
swept Henry George away. Morri-
son had to fight hard for his seat.
Carlisle's majority in Kentucky is
reduced to 1900. The democrats
have reason to rejoice not alone on
account of the gains but because of
the widespread evidences of the
purifying Influences of civil service
reform. 1t commends Cleveland's
administration in thunder tones. 1t
was the quietest election ever held.

Often neglect and delay giving prop

daughter upon the use of B. B. B. as a

general tonic and appetizer before
breakfast, and they will never have
any use for whisky bitters.
