eoe.s BOOM.


Bob Taylor has boom Of considera-
BILE proportions. He is, in Tact, leading
the other candidates for governor, and
il seems rather queer to us that it
should be so.
His own county OF Washington in-
structed for another man, Major ALI
son, and his popularity is by no means
greatest in East Tennessee where he is
best known.
In fact, his largest support comes
from West Tennessee where several
counties have instructed ior him and
where it is natural TO suppose the peo-
pie know least about him. His popu-
larity seems attributable more to SEN
timental jolity about "the bald head
mountain boy" as he styles himself,
than to any belief in his business mer-
its or ability as politician. His fame
rests almost entirely on the famous
fiddleing campaign OF the first district
in which he beat Pettibone for congress.
That was a.great joke of which he was
the hero and the people are fond Of
him on that account. But the attach
ment is all kind Of levity--Bob can't
be thought about in a serious way.
Some sentimantallsts affect to be
shocked at the idea Of two brothers OPP
posing each other for political Office.
We would not object to Bob on that
account. The objection comes of the
erroneous idea that political campaign
is necessarially personal fight. Ger
tainly there is no obliquy in brothers
who have always been honestly and
openly opposed to each other in politi-
cal opinions, discussing those opinions
in public. The worst Of political enc
mics may be the best of personal
friends. and, even brothers. If Bob
don't mind meeting ALT on the stump
we have no squeemishness on the point
10 air before tne puDnc.
But Tennessee wants solid man for
governor and the Democratic party
should select candidate of that discrip-
ton. Can any body say Bob Taylor
fills the bill II Is he competant? The
enthusiasts who are crying for his NOM
nation should reflect on these questions
before the convention meets.
| The CHRONICLE has no enmity to
Bob Taylor and no particular attach
ment for any other candidate, but in
the interest of the State and the Demo
cratic party, we would like to see a
man nominated for governor with more
enduring qualities than those Of per-
son OF whom it can be simply said
"He is good fellow and can tell an
anecdote."

THE COTTON TAX PLAN.

The Americans support OF Senator
Whitthorne's cotton tax bill, is a virtual
abandonment OF its opposition to nat
ional aid to education.
1t says that because great portion of
the cotton tax money can't be returned
to the individuals from whom it was il
legally collected, that all of it should
be appropriated for the aid of the pub
lie schools of the South.
This proposition reminds us of the
story o. an old Baron in feudal times
who having robbed his neighbor of all
he possessed, was pricked by conscience
at the neighbors death and paid an
amount equal to the ill-gotten booty in
erecting a monastery to the memory OF
the dead man, wherein masses might
be said for his soul.
The men who paid the illegal cotton
tax are not all dead by whole lot and
the most of those who are, have admin
istIators and heirs who would like to
receive the amounts OF which they were
defrauded.
This money should, therefore, be re-
turned, as far as possible, to the people
from whom it was taken, but granting,
for arguments sake, that this can't be
done, the American is now actually pro-
posing that the national government
appropriate money to be given to the
States with the direction that they use
it for school purposes. This is certainly
at variance with the very basis on which
it has founded its arguments against the
Blair bill.
The American does not propose that
this money be paid back into the State
treasures as the nearest possible APP
proach to just retribution, but that it
be given the States for specific pur-
pose and not to be dealt with as they
please.
The cotton tax would not be equita-
ably restored in this way. Montgomery
county didn't pay cent of cotton tax
and Shelby paid great deal. But un.
der the Whitthorne bill the county on
the Cumberland would get as much Of
the returned tax as that on the Missis.
sippi. The same thing is proportions
abely true of all the Southern States.
The American had just as well come
out for national aid straight.

THINK about it voters and tax payers
Nashville, Tenn, March II, 1ss

THINK about it voters and tax payers
of Tennessee, the public school system
of this State must be improved. Let
the old fogies say what they please, but
the days of few rich and cultivated
people with a mass of "niggers and
poor whitefolks" stepped in illiteracy,
are over in the South. Education, good
education must be provided for all.
Tennessee is at the tail end of the pro-
cession now, but she is not going to
stay there. Where will the money to
improve the schools come from? Must
it be raised by an increased State and
county tax, or shall we have aid from
the national treasury?
Clarksville weekly chronicle. (Clarksville, Tenn.) 1873-1890, 1886-07-31

THE Coufier-Journal and some North
ern papers that oppose national aid, say
the States should have good public
schools at their own expense, meaning,
of course, that there shosld be an in
creased tax for the purpose in those
States where the schools are so miser-
ably deficient as they are in Tennessee.
But the American can't be made to say
where it proposes to get the money il it
don't come from the surplus in the
national treasury.

THE STATE sENAToRshIP.

A correspondent in the Tobacco Leaf
Of Tuesday, mentions Capt. R. Y. John
son as suitable candidate for the Sena-
torial nomination from the counties of
Montgomery and Stewart. No better
man could be selected for the place, and
the CHRONICLE takes pleasure in sec
onding the motion.
Capt. johnson is genial gentleman,
man whose sterling traits OF character
command respect and whose intellec-
tual qualifications ct him for seat in
the upper branch of the State legisla-
ture. The CHRONICLE would be pleased
TO see him nominated.

ITS coNsTITuTIoNALlTY.

The Bolivar Bulletin takes the Clarks-
vile CHRONICLE to task for advocating
the passage of the Blair bill whether II
be constitutional or not.-AvalGnche.
The Bulletin didn't reach us this
week and we are therefore in the dark
as to the manner Of its taking to task :"
We surmise, however, that it common
ted, not on an utterance Of the CHRoN-
1cLE, but an extract from the Lebanon
Herald published in this paper.
The Bulletin may possess its soul in
peace, we donot endorse in its full bear
ing the rather reckless assertion OF the
temporary editor of the Herald.
The CHRONICLE has so often express
ed its belief in the constitutionality OF
national aid, that we didn't deem it
necessary to reitterate such faith.
We humbly confess, however, that our
belief in its constitutionality is pure
matter Of faith. This editor is not a
great constitutional lawyer as the editor
of the Bulletin doubtless is, and has
taken his opinions second hand from
such sources as Acknowledgement Gar
land and Judge Jackson. The Bulle-
tin man, Logan and Sherman, all had
original ideas on the subject.
The great necessity for national aid
to education and the untold benefit that
it will have on the Southern States, in
clined us TO the support OF the Blair
bill and we have little patience with
those Southerners who interpose con-
stitutional objections to its passage,
when the same men have voted for an
appropriation of money to prevent the
spread of disease among cattle, to edu-
cate Indians, and improve horse bran
ches in Northern States, and various
other things OF trivial importance.
The absolute need OF national aid to
education can be fairly illustrated in
the Bulletins own county of Harde.
man. There is plenty Of illiteracy there
among both blacks and whites and its
public school system is little better than
a farce. Any sensible person will adj.
nit that this condition of affairs is ex.
ceedingly detrimental to the county'c
welfare. II depreciates the value oil its
lands and prevents its material prosper.
ity in any regard, : The editor of the
Bulletin does not advocate an increased
State and county tax to improve the
schools. We believe he might do SC
until his now auburn locks turned &
beautiful gray without influencing the
county court to such movement. They
are powerful low takers in Hardemar
county.
If Hardeman county can not, or viii
not, do anything towards educating the
masses of her people, it sounds strange
when her only newspaper opposes con
stitutional bubbles to national aid tt
that end There are many who think
that in popular government like our!
whereslmanhood is the only suffrage
qualification, education should be com
pulsory, and case OF this kind would
seem to justify the conclusion.
To recur to the Bulletins criticism
we favor national aid because it is need
ed and beni6cent and are satisfied of it
constitutionality.

A Voter 11e Years Old.

A letter from Holman's precinct, Bald
win county, Ala, to the COurier-J Ournal,
says: 'At the Alabama election for
State and county officers which came of
Monday, Aug. 2, many Young men cast
their first vote for Gov. Seay-thirty-three
new voters being registered at this pre-
cinct. Among the young came the aged
from three score up, a long procession,

ders to some other profession. The

aggregated 210 years and aver
aged 70 years each. The procession OF old
men waS headed by MIR. Thomas Garrett,
who cast his first vote for John Adams in
the fall OF 1896. He was then 20 years
old, and at next birthday will be 119 years
old. He was born in the State of Mary
land, county OF Terrytuck. on Aug. 10,
1867, and lived in that State until he was
years old. Since then he has lived in
North Carolina II years, Georgia years,
Florida 30 years, and Alabama 80 years.

years. He is the father of u children.
May he live to vote and help to re-elect

Only Woman's Hair.

FROM the Net0 York Graphic.
Once upon a time there lived a very
strange young woman. AS child she
had been peculiar. AS Young woman
her pecullarities became more marked,
and by the time she grew TO be a matron
she became widely known for her idiosyn-
crasies. "Pieces" got into the paper
about her. Her "pastor" used her az an
eXampie-whether good or bad you must
Judge for yourself.
Other women talked about her when
ever they got a chance.
Now what do you suppose all this was
about?
just this. When that strange Young
woman was little girl she awoke the
spirit of the inquiaitor in the breast OF her
mother by naIiy refusing to have her
straight brown hair braided into pigtails
or twisted into brown paper Jumps every
Saturday and Wednesday night. at God
had meant her to have curly hair he would
have made It curly" was her argument
OF sophistry or sense. Such dreadful sac
ri.ege was straightway taken in hand by
her well meaning mother, who told her
that God wouldn't love here il she didn't
obey her mother and have her HAIR curled
for her and otherwise behave herself as a
little girl should. The mother was the
biggest. The hair was curled, but not
without much lamentation.
The next struggle against the powers
came when she was set before a
pais of stays and told TO get into them.
Up came the old argument-if IL bad been
intended she should have had a she'll like
turtle or waist like wasp, it would
have been done without her Interference,
Despite her objections, she was incased in
her distasteful she'll and the strings given
one pull more each day. One night a
week she slept in them. The only relief
she had during this period was an oblig-
Ing tendency of the strings TO break. As
consequence OF rigorous training or by
nature this young girl at sixteen was very
slight. This was the cause OF a new
struggle no less divided. Extraneous de-
Velopments OF one sort and another were
brought forward In turn and their use re-
quesied. refusal on the plea Of being
born thin was no use. They were applied
and nothing inappropriate seen IN Young
