A Queer Revolution.

The inhabitants of Sweden and Norway
are now divided upon one OF the most re-
markable issues that has ever been agitated
in civilized land.
The Scandinavians are not clamoring
over a matter OF civil or religious liberty.
They do not advocate any sweeping reforms
in their government. They have organized
what they call liberty party, with the sole
object of legalizing polygamy. Many of the
very best people of Sweden and Norway
have thrown themselves into this move
ment, and the strangest thing about the
whole business is the statement that the wo-
men very generally favor the proposed
change.
In the history Of the world it has been
very common to see nations abandon polyg-
amy and adopt the one wife system. but
with the exception of the Mormons there is
no instance on record where any considora-
bic number of the Caucasian race. after
being Christ;anized and civilized for many
centuries, have voluntarily returned to the
barbarous marriage system in vogue in the
days when women were regarded in the light
of mere chattels. With the Mormons there
is religious craze to explain their conduct.
but with tie people Of the Scandinavian
peninsula it is different. Here we have the
startling spectacle Of a large body OF So
called Christians who, with no apparent in
dueement, are organizing political party.

Doctors and Hot Springs.

Hot Springs failed entirely to cure me of
several terrible, indolent running ulcers on
my legs, with which have been troubled
for many years. Several doctors also at.
tempted to cure me but failed. have used
only few bottles of B. B. B. (made at At.
lanta, Ga..) and the effect has been truly
magical, as they have all healed and l am
cured. 1t is worth all medicines made foi
purifying the blood. This wonderfully
quick cure has been effected after every.
thing else had failed. Your medicine is a
daisy, and has done the business for me. I
have lived here twenty-five years. My gen.
eral health is also improving, appetite and
digestion good. Isleep soundly, and never
felt better. Doctors told me that l could
not be cured, but B. B. B. has cured me.
1t is decidedly the quickest, best and
cheapest blood purifier l ever used. 1t is
ahead of all others. AS to my case and its
cure refer to every merchant or profession.

who should know, if any one other

Speaker Carlisle or Postmaster

CULLIBILITY.

The wild phantoms and shrieking cries of
a worthless humbug can make money by i'm.
posing upon the credulity and ignorance of
an honest public, and the supply of this
species of work seems more than an ade.
quate demand. The enunciation of facts
facts that have stood crucial tests-facts
proven by brain force and tangible eyi.
dence should satisfy all laudable enterprises;
but the execrable practice of teaching false
ideas and doctrines for selfaggrandzemen
is truly reprehensible and should be scorned
by all classes.
When one house tells you that Iodide of
Potash is poison simply because their OPP.
ponents use it, and because they are pander.
ing to your ignorance, as they suppose, you
should look upon all such as arrant frauds
and their remedies as unworthy of public
confidence, and if those who make such as
sertions do not know better, they are a set
of unenviable ignoramuses.

The editor of the McMinnville
Standard will except our thanks for
the "snub" it gave our paper and
town. We don't mind the "snub.'
but the classification was a gross in
suit. 1t is true our town is not as
large as his, but the Democrat can
represent as much as the STANDARD,
and fully as well, if not better. But
perhaps the first copy of the Demo-
crat so dazzled the eyes of the editor
of the STANDARD that he thought its
print and mechanical appearance was
metropolitan work, and was publish
ed at Jasper for "boodle" in behalf of
official aspirants. We think it advis-
able for Brother Reams to lease or
suspend publication of the STAND
ARD and come to Jasper and attend
the fall term of our institude.-Jas-
per Democrat.
We assure our good brother that
we had no thought ofsnubbing either
Jasper or the Democrat. We simply
expressed a doubt that two newspa.
pers could survive in Jasper, and
judging from the past newspaper
history of the town there is ample
room for the doubt. We say further
in all sincerity that the Democrat has
proved most excellent paper so far
and would be credit to any town
1t is by long odds the best paper we
have ever seen from Jasper, but we
are very much afraid that Jasper and
the surrounding country will not
give it the support necessary to KEEP
it up to its present excellence. WIFE
hope we may be mistaken in this.

Hon. w. p. ToLLEY opened up
his canvass for Congress with a two
hours speech at Manchester last
Monday. In his speech he charged
that "ten State Senators in the last
General Assembly of Tennessee were
controlled by and were the absolute
property of the lobby" and added
that "more than one branch of the
public service was in scandal" 1t
is fair to Col. Tolley to state here
that this language is imputed to him
by the Tullahoma correspondent of
the American. Col. Tolley was a
member of the august body against
some of whom he brings such grave
charges. 1t will now be in order for
Senator Tolley to give names and
specify his charges, or else close up
his bazoo.
