LAST weeks issue.of the Tullahoma
Messenger closed the career of that
paper. Mr.. Givan, the publisher,
will move the Office to Elisabethton,
KY, where he will publish the Har-
din Herald. Mr.. G. made a long,
hard struggle for success in Tullaho-
ma, but without avail. Tullahoma
is glowing, gushing, booming town,
but a newspaper can't survive or
wind alone. The Messenger did
much good work for Tullahoma, and
got small reward. We hope Bro.
Givan may meet with better success
in Kentucky.

THERE is some probability Of a
joint discussion of the tariff question
between Speaker Carlisle and Mr..
Blaine. The proposition is for them
to speak in twelve Of the principal
cities of the union, six to be selected
by Mr., Carlisle and six by Mr.. Blaine
Mr.. Carlisle has signified his willing
ness to engage in the discussion, pro-
vided the appointments can be so ar
ranged as not to interfere with his
official duties.

THE damage to the corn crop in
Tennessee from the storm of this week
will amount to many thousand dol
lars. Reports are coming in which
show that the injury was very great
in many counties. If the farmers of
this state were provided with good
silos, much of this broken corn could
now be saved in the way of ensilage.
The Canadian fisheries treaty, over
which the Senate has spent much
valuable time in the last few months,
was rejected by that body last
Tuesday on strict party vote, the
Democrats voting for ratification, and
the Republicans against. Senator
Morgan of Alabama in his final
speech on the matter, intimated that
the rejection may bring about war
between the United States and Eng
land.

TIE Republican papers of New York
are urging that in the selection of dele
gates to the National Convention the best
men of the party shall be put forward,
and that its delegation shall thus repre-
sent the best thought and ripest manhood
of the State. The suggestion is good
one, and should be carried out in every
State of the Union. At no similar gath

tial that the ripest wisdom and highest
patriotism of the party shall prevail.

BUSINESS PROSPECTS.

Providence Or. L. Journal
Taking the world as whole there may
be safely said to be greater activity in
manufacturing centers, shipping freights
are going up, and with here and there is0-
lated exceptions there is pleasant evidence
of better feeling alike among producers,
traders, and distributors In England, es-
pecially, the outlook is Frightening, where,
by reason of tie opening Of another of the
regular septennial periods of good wealth
er, the expectation is general that once
more a "cycle of prosperity" is at hand.
But the signs of improvement are not
merely local The evidence of figures and
the opinions of experienced observers all
seem to point to wide revival of health
ier trade; and in the expressive language
of business it may be said that, the world
over, things are looking up" 1t is al
ways difficult to assign definite causes for
turn in the tide of this sort. and it is eS-
pecially difficult in the present case be-
cause the depression, though very long
continued, has been almost unaccOunta-
bly, mild. The comparative difference i'll
the value of the currency metals can hard
ly be a factor in the matter because.
whether the parting Of these commodities
be regarded as an appreciation OF gold or
a depreciation of silver, there has been in
neither movement any marked change
The gold supply is not increasing and.
while the fall in silver has apparently
stopped, it is yet too soon to speak CT any
real reaction. Still, reports from Queens
land and the TranSyaal give considerable
reason to look soon for large increase in
the gold output and it may, perhaps, be
the discounting Of that event which is
helping to lift prices beforehand. There
is. too, little or no decrease in production.
But on the other hand there is readily
to be noted somewhat large increase III
consumption and in the resources of con
sumers. Through all this period of de
preston the thrift of the saving class has
been intensified rather than weakened
But more certain cause OF the revival
than any of these is the restoration of con
tidence and hOpefulnesS, mental state
whose origin can not be easily explained,
but which is very potent and increases the
rapidity of the reaction. The existence
of this better feeling is proved both by the
figures and by general observation of the
worlds markets: and the mere fact of its
existence is sufficient to give good reason
to expect a rise in trade. The rise may
not probably will not-be very high; and
its exact degree can not be predicted. b.
cause nobody knows the precise point at
which price either checks consumption or
stimulates production. Bat rise of some
sort may be considered reasonably sure:
and the advantages of it are likely to be
Ireaped either by England or the United
States, or by both. The two nations are
now about the only ones in the world that.
with respect to both amount and variety.
produce in any large degree more than is
needed for home consumption. ESDeci-
ally, therefore, in the event of continent
al war, the bulk Of the worlds trade would
be transferred 10 these two countries.

SEVERAL weeks ago it was suggested
these columns that convention Of
he Republicans Of this Congress Dis
-rict should be held before the meeting
of the National Convention, 10 choose
delegates, and that the same body should.
likewise, put in nomination the candi-
date for Congress, and thus avoid the
assembling of another convention We
repeat the suggestion, and insist that the
people should not be put to the expense
and inconvenience of two conventions.
This plan is being pursued in other
districts, and seems TO be the rational
method for all.

THERE Is current among the peasants
of Bavaria legend that the long life of
Kaiser Wilhelm was due to a mysteri-
Gus philter of which his Imperial Majes-
ty alone possessed the secret. How the
Emperor obtained the magic beverage
is not known. 1t was said to be kind
of spirit which, if it did not give him
Immortality, would enable him to live
many years more, and supply him with
sufficient bodily and mental power to
retain the government of his vast en-
pire in his own hands. The legend fur
thermore states that the German Sover
eign condescended to make present of
few drops of the charmed liquid to
Marshal Moltke and Prince Bismarck,
hence also their respectable age; but
strange to say, he declined to give any
of it to the Crown Prince, because he
feared his heir would make use of his
health, restored by the philter, to force
him to abdicate. Several crowned heads
have, it appears, applied to the Emperor
for his wonderful secret, but in vain.
The Car, in particular, prayed for some
of the spirit, and it was the refusal of
the Kaiser to oblige him which was the
real cause of the present conflict between
Russia and Germany.

C0NELJNG AFAyOR!TE son.

New York Age tCo!ored Drgaii
If New York is to have favorite son,
if he is to be presented to the Chicago
Convention, there is but one man in the
Empire State who sizes up to the dimen-
sions of a Presidential quantity. We
need hardly say we refer to the Hon. Ros-
coe Conkiing. The fact Of the matter is
Mr. Conkling is the ablest, the purest, and
the most aggressive statesman in the
East. There is no water in his Republi-
can:sm. If q Western man is not to be
preferred. if the honor of the nomination
is to be given to the East, then Mr. COnk-
ling is the man.
Conkling and Gresham, or Gresham and

such advertising does not produce i'm

C0mmeIriH AdDe,tiseF, is curious TO see
if President Cleveland will have the
courage of his convictions on the tariff.
Well. he won't have it if his tariff con-
victions share the fate of some of his
other important convictions. He is con
vinced that a President ought to be in
eligible for second term but he is
laboring to get the delegates for 1888
all the same. So, too, he is convinced
that public office is public trust. New
ertheless he stultisies that conviction By
retaining Garland in his Cabinet. Again,
he is convinced that Civil Service Re-
form is good thing, but there isn't a
Postmaster from Maine to California
who does not recognize the cowardice
of his convictions on that point.

REPRIEVE FOR TIE CONDEMNED.
Wretched men and women long con-
demed to suffer the tortures of dyspepsia,
are filled with new hope after a few doses
of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. This
budding hope blossoms into the fruitiOn
of certainty, if the Bitters is persisted in.
1t brings reprieVe to all dySpepticS who
seek its aid. Flatulence, heartburn, sink
ing at the pit of the stomach between
meals, the nervous tremOrs and insomnia
of which chronic indigestion is the parent,
disappear with their hateful prOgenitOr.
Most benefcient of StOmachicsl who can
wonder that in so many instances it
awakens grateful eloquence in those who
benefited by it, speak voluntarily in its
behalf. 1t requires a graphic pen to de-
scribe the torments of dyspepsia, but in
many of the testimonials received by the
proprietOrS of the Bitters, these are pOr-
trayed with vivid truthfulness. COnsti-
patton, biliOusneSs, muscular debility,
malarial fevers and rheumatism are re-
lieved by it. M
