TENNESSEE.

The New Orleans Tlmes-Demo-
crat of Monday, Apr 9th, is an
edition devoted chiefly to
Tennessee and her resonr ces, and
tho paper is to lie complimented
upon the thoroughne SIS with which
the work has been done. 1t says
edItoriailY:
"The Times-Democrat this morning
presents review of the progress Of
! the State Of Tennessee, showing the
rapid increase OF her manufacturing
and agricultural interests, and the
marvellous development of her min~
eral wealth. Attention is also paid
the business and industrial growth
of her chief cities, The showing is
d most ereditable one in every re-
spect. Tennessee is evidently no
laggard IN the race. Her remark
able progress since the census of
1888 is set forth IN the facts ana
figures presented with this issue,
and furnishes a record Of. substan-
tiaI advance and prosperity that
may well excite the emulation Of
her sisters"

The people are beginning to
believe that the charges which have
been made against Gov. Tay lerare
lies. They reason correctly, that
ifhe was guilty Of double~deallng
and treashery, these who know
the facts ought to cSme out boldly
and mske specific charges, citing
instances, tlmes, and places, and
assume all responsibility by sign
ing their names to the charges
The Bulletin, toe, has read these
charges, bnt we have no proof. Ii
We had it we'd give it.

Words of Warning.

Words Of Warning.
Under this ca ption the Nj EN- phis
Appeal, IN Its edition OF April the
1Otl, gives Tennessee democrats one
OF the aptest and most sensible ed
itorials for their consideration that
it has yet been onr pleasure to zee.
So kindly, and yet so ruiy, is each
thought spoken, that the Bulletin
is constr r. ned to furnish its readers
with the ar ticle, and invite their
careful and thoughtful reading Of
the same. Harmony, uni6cation,
and strict adherence to our party
a campaign supported and upheld
by the people and for the people
is what we need and what we must
have. The party must not be run
for the purpose Of putting men in
Office or perpetuating the tenure Of
those who are in. And politicians
who VIII seek to hold their grip by
abusing, gagging, and ostracising
others are not worthy the support
of the people. Here is what the
Appeal says;
There seems to be a dispos ition
on the part Of many Democratic
aspirants for office In Tennessee,
and Of many of the "werklng" els :
ment as well, to take fer granted
that a big Democratic majority next
fall is assured whatever the COM
plexion the fight may take and
whoever may be nominated. As a
consequence we perceive the mani
festatIon of certain spirit of fac
tional recklessness that is most de,
plorable; There should be no
mere of this 1t must be borne in
mind that there are good Democrats
who are anti-ProhibItien lists, and
COED Democrats who are Prohibi g,
tionists; that there are good Demo
Gratis who are for the Blair bill and
good Democrats who are against it,
and in addition there are many good
Democrats enrolled in the ranks of
the Wheelers, who are saying but
little, but who keep on saving
wood. But in the coming campaign
there viii be a Presidency at stake,
and in the election every Demo.
cratic vote in Tennessee will be
wanted Cur house must be kept
in thorough order and it should be
alive with the enthusiasm of a cos
plete unihcatIon in the face eff the
Republican foe 1t is no time for TIE
exercl~e of revenges and no time
for the stimulation of latest gruages,
Minorihes must have fair play
Men take defeat gracefully emily
VIII In they recognize that the VIC
tory has been fairly one To brow -
beat, 10 bulldoZe and to gag are not
Democratic methods. Democrats
are never easily whipped iRto line
particularly Tennessee Democrats,
The thing to be done next fall Is to
beat the Republican party, and to
beat It badly. The platform will
be that OF the St, Louis JOnven-
ten, with the incidental additions
OF the Stale platform In the pr O.
ceedings preliminary to the State
Convention. extraneous and dis
turbing issues should be eliminated,

TIE Physicians have Found out

The Physicians have Found out
That communicating and foreign ele-
ment in the blood, developed by indiges-
ton, is the cause of rheumatism. This
settles upon the sensitive sub-cutaneous
covering of the muscles and ligaments Of
the Joints, causing constant and shifting
pain, and aggregating as a calcareous,
chaIky deposit which produces stiffness
and distortion Of the joints. No fact which
experience has demonstrated in regard to
Iestetter's Stomach Bitters las stronger
evidence to support than this, namely,
that this medicine of comprehensive uses
checks the formidable and atrociOus dis
ease. Nor is it less positively established
hat it is pre- ferabIe to the poisons otte
used to arrest it, since the medicine con-
tains only salutary ingredients. 1t Is also
a signal remedy tor .malarial feyers, con-
