for what people raise on their farms,
such as butter, eggs, chickens, Tur-
keys, hogs, cattle, wheat, corn, po-
tatoes, turnips demand for every
thing, makes dry goods, hard ware,
queensware and every thing else
they buy cheaper. This is just
what Blount county needs, another
rail road, road that will do for
Maryville just what they are doing
for Knoxville. The rail road we
now have, while it has made the
annual tax higher yet see what 1t
has brought the farmer, a market
for every thing they have to sell
The butter, chicken and egg trade
has more than paid back the tax
each year, besides the increase in
price for all they have to sell Is q

THE W. c. T. U. AND POLITICS.

THE National Convention of the
w. c. T. u, of 1884, was of vital
interest to that organization, and to
every community where one of its
societies should exercise an influ-
ence. A perplexing question was
before the convention, viz: Shall
the w. C. T. U. officially champion
. political party? Shall this
Christian organization be known
at home and abroad henceforth as
q political machine? This question
had been settled in the negative by
the National convention of 1888,
which declared that each member
should be free to lend her influence
TO such political party as in her
Judgment would best further the
cause of prohibition. But the de-
cision was not unanimous. The

THE BLUE LAWS OF CONNECT.
CUT.

MR.. EDITOR:-LaSt week you
published what, as you said, the
Boston Record calls the laws of the
"DominiOn of New Haven, known
as the blue laws because they were
printed on blue paper" It would
be quite interesting to know how
that Boston writer came to know
80 much about even the color of the
paper upon which the bogus laws
were printed.
No such ridiculous stuff was ever
printed on any kind of paper as you
quoted from the Record for the
"New Haven colony" They origi-
mated in the brain of one Peters
who hated the strict morality Of
the earlier settlerSUf New Haven
q sort Of renegade in religion who
could not put up with the general
rules of righteousness" in the colo
ny, and fled to England and there
published his caricature of the laws
usages and customs of the pilgrims,
and called them "Blue Laws" No
such laws were ever thought of in
New England. 1t is doubtless true
that they were unnecessarily strict
in enforcing the rules of morality
and sometimes in the little commu
mites, it is presumed, the magis
trates exercised sort of parenta
control over ill.regulated house
holds, but even this interference
made infinitely better commnni
ties than we often have in our day
Any one who opposed the licent
business of the times of Charles ii
of England, was called "blue.'
Butler in Hudibras says,
For his religion it was fit,
To match bis learning and his wit;
Twas Presbyterian true blues"
1t was natural that this wore
blue should be imported into tn
colonies to describe their strict, ant
if you please, austere morality.
Most of the laws of the New
Haven colony were copied from
Moses, and perhaps there are man.
in our day, if they should see then
in some municipal code would no
know where they came from.
When your readers hear of tn
"Blue Laws" of Connecticut, le
them remember that Is years be
fore Peters framed these laws tn
records of the New Haven colon,
were examined by Judge Smith, Q
New York in 1867, and no sue
silly stuff as Peters wrote is foun
in them. p. M. BARTLETT.

question was zealOusly brought
forward in the convention Of '84
with hope in the bosom Of some, Of
revoking the action Of the previous
year. An Iowa delegation hoped
to commit the Union to the Repub-
lican party because of the valiant
service which that party had rem
dered the cause in different coun-
ties and states of the country. An
Ohio delegation wished to capture
the Union as sail on the mast of
the Prohibition party, seenig in
this new political organization the
nations life-boat and only rescue
from the swellings Ofintemperance.
The debate which followed the re-
opening of the question was as
spirited and as able as has ever
been engaged in by convention of
women. The peril was passed in
salty. The intelligence Of the con.
ventiOn saved the life Of the Union.
If the convention of'S4 had rescind-
ed the act of 'S3 which declared
each member free to lend her pO-
litical influence wherever she
might see fit, the foundation would
have been laid by that act for
schism and death among the varl-
GUS societies of the Union. The
success of the Union depends upon
a non-political foundation. The
effective working Of the Union in
any given community depends up.
on the fidelity with which each
member of the society refuses to
engage in party politics. Each
member of the Union exercises her
political influence as a citizen, not
as q member Of the w. G. T. U.
She is first a citizen and in this
sphere she wields her political in
fluence. AS a member of the w.
c. T. U. she is uncomprOmisingly
pledged to the cause of prohibition.
AS a citizen she is pledged by her
conscience to the best political pol
icy by which prohibition may be
obtained. If she combines, with
ottsswcmen n the community to
poll a united influence for a gsven
party, the combination Is that oil
citizens and is an act separate and
apart from the w. 9. Il U. Any
attempt TO effect apolitical combi'
nation as members of the w. Z. T.
U.is treason to the principles of the
Union and brings with it the inevi'
table penalty of internal dissentiOl

A BRlDEGRooM'S FATE.

He Lost His Wits on the Wedding Day
and Wandered Far Away.
A curious case of mental alteration has
come to light at Minneapolis. About
month ago James Viccars, book-keeper In
local commission house, disappeared ON
the day when he was to wed Hattie Ray.
There were no circumstances surrounding
the disappearance to give any clew to it's
motive. He was steady, industrious,
temperate young man. The other day,
however, the mystery was explained when
his employer received letter from him,
written at the home Of his parents In Grass
Lake, Mich. In this he stated that he had
cnly confused memory of the past
month, that in state of mental aberra-
ton, or, perhaps, in hypnotic state, he
had wandered, he knew not where. When
he came to himself he at once made his
way to his old home, weary and worn out
He seemed unwilling to return to his old
position for fear of ridicule, and it was
supposed the wedding, SO strangely inter-
rupted, would never come OFT
