The comet. (Johnson City, Tenn.) 1884-1916, 1889-03-28

The municipal election passed off
quietly yesterday. There we're three
tickets in the field, Democratic, Re-
publican and Citizens but all united
on the Mayor and Constable $50
votes were pelled. Scratching was the
order of the day and out OF the three
tickets the board OF Mayor and Alder
men was selected as follows: Ike T.
Jooe, Mayor; H. II. Carr, s. Simcox
r. G. Cox, w. NJ. Christian, W,
Hodges and G. w. Hickey, Aldermen,
The first four are democrats and the
balance are republicans. M. Crum.
ley, democrat, was elected constable.

Questionable Voting.

In the municipal election yesterday
\ number Of illegal votes were cast.
Some 40 or 80 men came up from
Jonesboro, who did not own foot OF
land in johnson City Tuesday nor do
not to day, but they each had a title
bond to lot Wednesday and were al
lowed to vote. The scheme is very
gauzy and every man that voted
knows he had no legal right to do SO.
Some Of the men that entered into
this scheme were the most prominent
Republicans in Jonesboro. A num-
Der OF county officials were also in the
party. 1t is a Disgrace that such
methods are resorted to and steps
should be taken at once to have the
law repealed that allows non-residents
to vote on property qualifications.
The law does not intend to counte-
nance fraud and should this manner OF
voting be allowed it is only question
Of time until all East Tennessee would
be voting in Johnson City if the Re-
publicans needed it to defeat the Dem
oorat residents. 1t is nice state OF
affairs indeed, when men resort to
such methods to CARRY q city election
that should be held for the good Of
the town only. We are glad to say
there are a number Of Republicans
who do not endorse such actions by
their party.

HUMAN NATURE.

1t is well established fact that,
among all races of men, in all civil
lied nations on the face of the globe,
human nature is the same.
We find everywhere the same
disposition to love and be loved.
Men will fall desperately in love
with the fair sex, they can't help it,
it is human nature. And in time,
though they may blush to think
about it, the fair ones cannot help
loving the great strong man who
loves them, though his exterior may
seem little rough. Love is mutu-
al. So we find the same disposition
to be honored, to accumulate
wealth, and to save money. "Its
human mater we know" Its natur-
al for all to inquire, where can get
good reliable goods; no shoddy; for
the least money, and no one has
any right to find fault with them,
because it is not only human mater,
but it is right. And in as much as
"Self preservation is the first law Of
nature" why should we blame any
one for trying to obey this law. Sc
in order to help those who want tc
help themselves, we advise them t.

to spend q few millions In irrl

still larger quantity Of the staple pro-
ducts of the soil may he thrown on to
an already depressed market. At the
same time the paternal hand Of the

labering millions Of the Old World to
get them here to grow few million
bushels more wheat, oats and corn. !"
The prospect is not at all pleasing TO
this writer and he would have agricul-
tural interests protected and thinks
that the idea Of protection and free
trade has been studied from point too
remote. We are In great danger Of pro-
ducing too much. Within couple Of
years from the time the government
puts few million acres Of land on the
market, which In settled up with a
whoop and n hurrah, you can very con.
fidently look to seek to see the price Of
wheat, oats and corn lowered few
cents on the bushcl. /"

rives at this weak conclusion. +" Let
the government get rid of it's surplus In
works Of public improvement requiring
the greatest number of men rather than
in buying lands of the Indians. I"
That is all he can suggest by way Of
cure for n state Of things so terrible that
in his eyes the bounties lavished upon
this country by nature have become
curses. He timidly suggests that the
surplus taxes should not Ike used in buy
ing splendid lands from brutal savngcs
at absurd prices because, perchance,
white men might make better use Of II,
aud food would be cheaper.
The facts presented are impressive,
but they should stimulate much
clearer line Of thought. The man who
thinks we are producing too much
should note the volume of our grain ex-
ports aud consider that they must be
largely paid for in other materials. We
can produce far more of agricultural
products than we can consume, but
Europe will not take much of our grain
IL we refuse to take the products she
can give us In exchange for IT, by i'm
posing excessive tariff duties upon them.
