THE CARROLL COUNTY 'INsTRUC.
TlONS."
Does IL not Look Like "Cut ana
Dried" Affair:

A meeting of few of the Democracy
Of Carroll County was held at Carrollton
on last Saturday, for the purpose OF Sc
lecting delegates to the State and Con-
gressional Conventions. The notice was
only published one week and only few
people of the county, as we learn, were
apprised Of the fact. This meeting was
called by five out of twelve of the Exec.
utive Committee, thus showing that it
did not have the weight of a quorum to
sustain it. At the meeting there were
not more than seventy or eighty at the
furthest, and most of these were from
the town of Carrollton. There were but
two men from Beat 5, and two from
Beat 8, and only few from Beats ! and
.. A motion was made and carried that
the chairman (who is q Mitchell man)
appoint committee of one from each
Beat, and they to appoint the delegates
to the State and Congressional Conven-
tions, which was done, and the Conven-
ton instructed the delegates for Hon. @.
B. Mitchell for Congress "frst, last and
all the time" Before any delegates had
been appointed, Mr.. w. 7. Inman offered
a resolution as a substitute for the origi'
nal, that ''the meeting recommend that
the Executive Committee appoint an
election to be held in each Beat to select
delegates to Congressional Convention
to be held in this District, giving ample
time, so that the people Of this (CarrolD
county may inform themselves as to a
choice of a candidate for Congress" and
further, 'that the number Of delegates to
be sent from each Beat shall be deter
mined by the Executive Committee" !"
which was tabled by the Convention. If
this does not look like a genuine "cut
and dried affair."" then will some one tell
us how to get up one? TO commence
with, minority OF the County Execu-
tive Committee had no business to call
meeting in the first place and the idea
OF seventy or eighty voters land over
two-thirds OF them from the Carrollton
Beat) instructing for Mitchell or anybody
else, "frst, last and all the time" over
about seventeen hundred absent uhite
voters, when but few of them knew any
thing about it, is simply absurd, prepos-
terous, unjust and undemocratic. The
farmers and all other citizens Of Carroll
county should have been given ample
and timely notice, and this kind of busi-
ness will do Mr.. Mitchell no good, if it
does not in the end rend he Democratic
party in twain. The SFsTINEL says this,
not because it advocates the claims Of
either candidate, or anyone else, because
We would have sad the same thing had
this Convention instructed for Hon.
Clarke Lewis, or any other individual.
We believe in justice, and the voice Of the
people Jdirly and honestly erpressed; and
We think that at least three.fourths of
the citizens of Carroll county will en-
dOrse the SENTINEL on this subject. The
facts as we publish them, we get from
what we know to be source perfectly
reliable, and have no individual interest
inthis issue, as some of them who par
tcipated are our personal, and all Of
them our political friends.

pie. He visited the eastern states, and
was everywhere received with great
cordially, and in manner betting

But he evidently resembles Dickens
in many respects. Dickens returned
from the United States to England Sc
riously disappointed. The author lost
no time in lampooning America anc
Americans in style OF which he was
alone the master. Dickens could not
bear to hear man called "General,'
who had never buckled on a sword, or
been in battle. Our "Majors" ana
"Colonels" annoyed him very much,
and the spectacle of n landlord speak

spoken to, was to the inimitable Boz
an objectionable oflense, Mr.. ARNOLD
was effected much the same way. he
was shocked. lie was generally re-
spected by all, but worshipped by
none. Our plain American was will
ing to admit that Mr.. ARNOLD could do
many things very well indeed, but
wanted Mr.. ARNOLD to under
stand that, as our poets go, poet,
or even critic, could hardly
expect To be considered of more i'm
portance than the Presidents Mr.
Arnold returned TO his island in
great huff. and Immediately published
an article in which he dealt us blows
without mercy. His harsh criticism
was not wellJeceived in England, and
in the United States it has, Of course,
been read with Indignation, and many
bitter replies have been published.
1t is all over now. Mr.. ARNOLD
did not live to see what a mistake he
Mad :made; but it will not matter to
him, and we are sure 1t is OF no mo-
mcnt TO us.
The circumstances attending Mr..
ARNoLD's death are very sad. He
was awaiting the arrivalaof his daugh-
ter, whom he was expecting from
America, and fell in a fit of apoplexy
about an hour before her arrival.

money. The result will be that

the road. Don't fool yourself. There
are at least two other cities that will
raise this money il The railroad can be
secured thereby. There is nothing SO
far to discourage the belief that the
money will be raised. But this bust

Mr.. MILLS complains that the Re-
publicans have abolished certain speci-
iic direct war taxes, such as the tax on
bank deposits and railroads, and left
the tariff on such articles as blankets,
shoes, etc. No one familiar with the
subject can be deceived by this sOphis'
try. Direct taxation by the general
government has never been attempt
ed, except in time of war. AS yet no
party has been bold enough to advo-
cate such a policy Occasionally a
rampant free-trader like MILLS, of
Texas, is found who would be willing
to admit foreign products into the
United States free from duty and to
raise all revenue by direct taxation.
II is very fine to talk about the tax
on railroads. and on bank deposits,
aud on rich men, but why not tell the
whole truth and say that when the
revenue Of the government is raised by
direct taxes, not only the railroads and
bank depositors will be taxed, but
every man, woman and child in the
country will have to pay taxes on all
their property, real and personal. How
would the American people like to
have another direct tax list added to
their state, county and city taxesY ?
The only direct tax now levied
by the general government is
that on liquor and tobacco. Mr.. Mills,
chairman of the committee on ways
and means in the house of representa-
tives, wishes TO increase this list. Re-
publicans wish to abolish all direct
taxation and get back to our moorings ;
get back to the days OF peace and the
system of our fathers. Before the late
war all revenue raised by the general
government came from the tariff.
The result of this policy is to raise
abundant revenue, to impose equality
OF taxation, every man paying only for
what lie uses, to decrease prices, to
encourage home industry, and to pro-
tect our laborers. MIR. Mills, like all
others of his school, not only forgets
nothing, but what is worse-he learns
nothing.

THE appointment pf u successor to
Chief Justice Waite is the most inn
portant act which has devolved upon
Presidei Cleveland. The Office is
second to none in the civilized world.
The man who sits in the seat once oc.
cupied by John Marshall attracts COM
parson with genius of the most lofty
character. The necessity of partisan
politics limits Mr.. Cleveland's choice
to the democratic party. AS silly as
this principle of our system Of
appointments to judicial posi-
tions is, there seems but
little chance to change it. Therefore,
Judge Waite's successor, in the order
of American things, will be democrat,
although il would be hard for any man
to say why. IL would be hard for any
man to say why he should be anything
or anybody excepting the first of Amer
lean jlrists. However, the appoint
ment of Field, Thurman or Hoardley
would reflect credit upon the country
and satisfy the requirements of the
exalted station.

ltical point of view is undoubtedly
true. That he should have become
tired of politics and political life, with
It's lying and treachery, should NOS
create surprise.
In personal appearance Mr.. CoNK.
LING was tall, well proportioned, and
of fine presence. He was man of
excellent and conservative habits, He
has been ridculed as vain and egotis-
ticul He was less egotisiical than
SUMNER, and far less imperious in his
leadership than CLAY. He was not
aggressive in pushing his friendships,
hence was not a politician. There is
no stain of corruption upon his char
acter. No corporation lobbyist ever
entered his political presence, and no
investigating committee ever raped
at his door. He was chased and barked
at by the petty politicians he would
not serve, and the sham reformers he
would not heed. The ablest debater
of the senate since WEBSTER, died last

CONG fs E ~.

The nations representatives have
been in council for nearly five months.
Nothing looking to a reduction of the
surplus revenue has been accomplish
ed. There seems to be too much
money on hand for any one job and
not enough to go around among all
the Jobs. Meantime, money is being
taken from the pockets Of the people
at the rate OF one hundred millions of
dollars q year more than is necessary
to run the government. The surplus
is increasing day by day, and day by
day the people are the sufferers.
The result is that money is tight all
over the country and getting tighter
every day. This means higher inter-
est. 1t also means the drawing
in OF loans, the stopping Of
projected enterprises, and a
general curtailing all round. If con-
tinued it will finally mean universal
bankruptcy. 1t is as plain as the road
TO mill, that il we continue to pay into
the treasury one hundred millions of
1o!lars II year more than are paid out,
n time all the money in the country
will be under lock and key ut Wash
ngton city, There is but one way to
:et rid of the surplus and pat this vast
und in circulation, and that is
D spend it. Twenty millions
pent on the Improvement Of
ne Columbia river would be re-
aid many times over in the
,duction of freight on wheat to the
tlantic seaboard. This would mean
ther that the farmers of Washington
srritory, Idaho Territory and Oregon
ould get more for their products, or
at the people across the Mississippi.
)uld get their bread a little cheaper
The whole of the surplus could be
sely spent in fortifying our seaboard
les. So thought Mr.. SAMUEL j. TIL
n. He bequeathed that proposition
political legacy to his county,

ed among the Statessand Territor-

A Sudden Taking Off.

M. Elsener dropped dead in his
store ON Main street at seven O'Clock
last evening.
He came here from San Francisco
on the steamer Oregon last Monday
to start a cigar mandatory in this
city, and rented the premises on Main
street next to the Globe saloon. He
was busy preparing through the week
and yesterday began operations. Al
the time he was struck by the fatal
attack of heart disease he was by

moment afterward found him
stretched hfeless on the floor.

which so many seem now to be af-
flicted? If you will remember a few
years ago the word Malaria was COM
paratively unknown,-to-day it is as
common as any word in the English
language, yet this word covers only
the meaning of another word used by
our forefathers in times past. So it
is with nervous diseases, as they and
Malaria are intended to cover what
our grandfathers called Billiousness,
and all are caused by troubles that
arise from diseased condition of the
Liver which in performing its func.

our Statesmen, but a more vital question
has our attention, and that is the reduc-
ton of the Surplus Consumptives. Since
the discovery and introduction of DIR.
Kings New Discovery for Consump-
ton, there has been a marked decrease
in the mortality from this dreaded dis
ease, and it is possible to still further re-
duce the number of COnsumptives
How? By keeping constantly at hand

such as Cough, Cold, Sore Throat
Chest or Side Pain. Taken thus early
