Latest Turn of the Beasley Crank.

Memphis Ledger.
The late John r. Beasley-that is
the Hon. John r. Beasley, late candi-
date for Governor-has written a
screed to the Chattanooga Times, in
which he declares the Federal Gov
eminent has become a curse to the
nation and must be Overthrown by
force if it cannot be done peaceably.
He insists that the law Ofinheritance,
which allows father to transmit his
property to his son, must be abolish
ed; private ownership, of land must
be abolished, and John Laws system
of an irredcemable currency without
instrinsic value must be established.
AS to the law of inheritance, he takes
the cynical view of an old dyspeptiC
bachelor. If he had entered the Sal
walton army of matrimory some fifty
years ago and raised up a family OF
boys, the oldest one being named
John r., his views might have been
different. Having started out wrong
in regard to the fundamental question
of society and of existence, his Opin-
ions, however honest are warped and
one sided, and dwarfed aud gnarled
as the branches of a blackjack oak in
regard to all other questions. He

miserable, but might obtain temper.

Cure for Piles.

Piles are frequently preceded by a
sense of weight in the back, loins and
lower part of the abdomen, causing
the patient to suppose he has some af-
lection of the kidneys or neighboring
organs. At times, symptoms of indi-
gestion are present., flatulency, I'M
easiness of the stomach, etc. A mois-
ture like perspiration, producing a
very disagraeeable itching, after get
ting warm, is a common attendant.

The second annual meeting of the
Tennessee Temperance Alliance was
held at the Grand Opera House in
Nashville last Tuesday. About three
hundred delegates, from twenty-eight
counties, were in attendance. The
object of the Alliance is to further the
cause of prohibition, as will be seen
by the following resolutions, which
were, after considerable discussion,
adopted by this meeting:

by majority Of the members of the

Whereas, under our constitution
the said amendment will be referred
to and considered by the general as
sembly next to be chosen, and that
the same shall be agreed to by two
thirds vote OF all the members elect
ed to each house before the same can
be submitted to vote of the people;
and
Whereas, a majority of the voters
of our State who vote for representa-
tives and senators must vote for the
amendment in order to secure the APP
prevail and adoption of the same as
a portion of the constitution; there
fore.
Resolved, that we as representa-
tives of the prohibition sentiment of
the State of Tennessee in State con-
ventiOn assembled, hold and hereby
declare that we protest against the
formation of a new or third political
party as being neither desirable nor
essential in arousing the sovereign
masses to realize the Importance and
necessity of adopting the pending
constitutional amendment.
We further resolve and declare that
our objects and purposes can be best
subserved and maintained by hold
ing our organization aloof from Or
CARNATIONS of "a political character;
that is to say, our organization Meth
er expects nor desires the utilization
of any existing party organization
that has objects and purposes in view
antagonistic to the purposes of our Or
ganization, but we do desire and
most respectfully and earnestly ask
the undivided cooperation of each
individual who may or may not be-
long osaid organization, whose judg-
ment, sympathy and reason are in
harmony with our objects and pur-
poses, to unite with us on a broad,
non-partisan and non-sectarian basis,
in an uncompromising effort to COM
bine all the available forces of moral
suasion, legal suasion and good citi-
zenship to remedy the evils contem-
plated by the pending constitutional
amendment.
We further resolve that it would
be unwise, imprudent and foreign to
the purposes and objects of our organ
ization to become entangled with the
issues that now divide and antago-
nize exciting political parties.
AS Democrats we should remain
free to maintain Democratic ideas and
support Democratic principles, and as
Republicans we should be equally
free, as neither of these parties are
committed for or against the pending
amendment.
We further resolve that we will
not support any candidate for the
next general assembly who does not
openly and unequivocally favor the
submission of the pending amend
ment to a vote of the people at a
special election. While we do not
demand of such candidates any fur
Their expression than a determination
to favor submission, we prefer to sup
port worthy aspirants who can and
will indicate a determination to vote
for the amendment at the ballot-boX
and the full force of whose moral sup
port will be contributed to the cause

Mr.. f. B. STAHLMAN, third vice
president of the l.. & n. Railroad,
with headquarters at Nashville, held
an interview with prominent gen.
tleman at Philadelphiathe other day.
We append a portion of Mr.. Stahl-
mans remarks below:
81 have been lifelong Democrat,
but in future the railroad and manu-
featuring interests of Tennessee must
cast their lot with the Republican
party. In 1885 we elected Republic
can State Railroad Commissioner by
5000 majority, though Cleveland car
ried the State by $4,000 majority.
Proper management and right men
to the front will make Tennessee a
Republican State and send men to
Washington who will not vote every
time against the interest of the State.
In the same way / believe with thor
ough organization Alabama might be
carried.
"The prospect of Republican sue
cess in these two States is far greater
than in Virginia. In the interests of
good national government this ought
and must be done. The coming fall
will be a good time to begin, and if
the Republicans only nominate the
right men, the Democratic party OF
Tennessee will find out whether it
can array itself against the progress
and material prosperity of the State.
We have been living on air and SEN
timent long enough. We want a
more substantial diet, and what is
more, we intend to have it.'
When the railroad commission law
was repealed, a good opportunity was
given the railroads to step down and
out of politics. The further the rail.
roads and their managers steer from
political partisanship, the better il
will be for the roads. The Demo.
cratic party holds power in Tennes.
see, and vii! continue to do so, and
Mr.. Stahlman's effort to array the
railroads and manufacturers against
that party will result in no good tC
the former interests. However, il
the above mentioned interview, Mr.
Stahlman has only assumed Il posi-
ton of self-infated Importance, anC
rcckonS without his host.

THERE is little room to doubt the
fact that the prohibition sentiment is
growing in Tennessee. The attend
ance of twelve hundred people upon
the night session of the Temperance
Alliance in Nashville on the night of
the 23d, is indicative of increasing in
terest in the matter. The question
of submitting a prohibitory constitu-
tional amendment to the people will
come before our next Legislature for
final action. The right of the people
to ask a submission of this question
cannot be denied, and every candi-
date for legislative honors should be
required to take a firm stand upon
the measure. 1t is not the purpose or
wish of prohibitionists to formulate a
third party. They simply ask of
Democrats and Republicans alike
that q constitutional amendment pro-
hibiting the manufacture and sale of
alcoholic liquors in the State, shall he
submitted to a direct vote of the peo-
pie for their approval or rejection,
and at special election to be held for
that purpose alone. The declaration
from a candidate that he will vote for
submission of the measure as above
stated, does not necessarily imply
that he favors prohibition, and we
cannot see how a candidate can con-
sistently ask the suffrage of people to
whom he cannot reciprocate the trust,
The people have the right, and they
should have the opportunity, to APP.
prove or reject measure SO intimate
ly involving their veal or woe.
