SUBMISSION AND PROHIBITION.

No question in Tennessee politics
is receiving more attention or being
more generally discussed than the
submission of the prohibitory amend-
ment to the constitution, which is to
be acted upon by our next General
Assembly. Particularly do CONNER
cial travellers, or drummers, seem to
be agitated over the question, and
one rarely meets with a crowd of
them nowadays without hearing
some phase of the question discussed,
and taken in its various aspects it
certainly furnishes wide field for
thought. The only part Of the ques-
ton which will come before our next
Legislature for action will be that of
submission to the people, at the bal
lot box, for their acceptance or rejec-
ton, of an amendment to the consti-
tuition prohibiting the manufacture
and sale of alcoholic liquors in this
State. A candidate for the Legisla-
ture can very consistently favor sub
mission and oppose prohibition. The
Democratic idea of government is
largely predominant in Tennessee,
and one Of the cardinal principles of
Democracy is that all power is inhe-
rent in the people. This fact being
admitted it cannot consistently be de-
MED that the people have a right to
demand of their law makers sub
mission of this or any other question
to them for their sovereign action.
AS everyone knows, it is the prohibi-
tionists who are suing for the
privilege Of determining this ques-
ton by means of the sovereign capa-
city of the people, and the triumph
of submission viii naturally be a tri.
umph for prohibition, as thereby its
first vantage ground will be gained

For ten years have been a sufferer from q

gusted with blood purifiers and pronounced
them humbugs, as had tried many without
relief.
Finally was induced to use 3. B. B.,
which was about the LIST of February, and
continued its use until the latter part of
April. The offensive discharge decreased
at once and the hardness around the cancer
disappeared. Itimproved my general health
and rapidly gained flesh and strength.
The discharge gradually decreased and the
cancer became less and less in size until
nothing remains except a scar to tell the
tale of once dangerous cancer. All who
have seen me since have commenced the
use of B. B. B. bear testimony of my great
improvement, and the scar on my face
shows that it cured the cancer. | find that
B. B. B. comes squarely up to what it is re.

The above is copied from the Athnes
ga Banner. Watchman, being the voluntary
language of Mr.. James A. Greer, which Edi-
tor CAN'T indorses:
"Mr. Greer is an honest, upright citizen
of Athens, who had bad cancer, and his
numerous friends thought that he could not
live very long, as the cancer was gradually
sapping the foundation of his constitution
but now looks well and hearty"

THE proposed prohibition amend
ment to the constitution will, when
submitted to the people, require a
majority of the votes cast for repre-
sentatives throughout the States this
fall to make it part of the constitu-
ton. We regret very much to see
some of our exchanges advising the
temperance people to abstain from
voting this fall, and thus reduce the
total vote of the State, in order to
lessen the number of votes required
to carry prohibition. Under no COM
bination circumstances whatever is
such a policy commendable, and the
temperance people are but weaken
ing their own cause when they resort
to such political trickery for the &C.
complishment of any purpose. To
vote is a duty every citizen owes to
himself, to his country, and to good
government, and any man who al
lows himself to be influenced from the
polls by any little narrow minded
scheme like this proves himself re-
creant to one of the highest duties of
citizenship, and unworthy the conf
dence ofany party. The demand for
submission is so great we do not be-
lieve the next Legislature will dareto
deny it to the people. When the
question is submitted, ifa majority of
the legal voters of the State are in IA
vor of prohibition they should have
the manliness and the courageous
sense of duty to 60 to the polls and
say so with their ballots. If the
temperance people ore in the minori-
ty they have nothing to gain by CHI
canery. The Republicans are too
sharp to be bamboozled by any such
silly plan, and we trust the Democrats
will prove equally as wise. Let every
Democrat in Tennessee do his whole
duty for one day, go to the polls on
the second of November and vote the
straight Democratic ticket for Govern
or, Congressman, State Senator, and
member of the Legislature. Do your
full duty now, and when the time
comes to vote on prohibition you
will have clear conscience to aid
you in doing your full duty then.

Flesh Sloughing Off in Pieces.

For two years | have been confined to bed
with loathsome form of Bolod Poison,
which had about eaten me up, and and
others had no hope of recovery. For Il
while | could neither walk, sit down, nor
lie down only in misery as my flesh seemed
to be falling off my bones in pieces as big
as hen egg. My appetite was lost, my
bones ached and panied me, and friends
even stunned me. | used various blood
purifiers without benefit, and several physi-
clans treated me until large sums of money
had been expended, but not one particle Of
good did any one give me.

necessary for the whisky men to con-
troll thirteen members of the Senate
