Weak Defense.


Weak Defense
The charges against General Raum,
the Commissioner Of Pensions, are, frst,
that he has borrowed S25, 900 or some
large sum OF money from George f.
Lemon, a claim agent doing business
before his Office or upon his indorse-
ment. General Raum does not admit
nor does he deny this charge. but IL is
probably trre. He docs assert, how
ever. that his private business relations
with Captain Lemon have no influence
whatever upon his official conduct, and
that Lemon has received no advantages
in the Pension ONCE that are not en-
joyed by other men in his profession.
Second, he Is charged with soliciting
or allowing others TO solicit subscrip-
tons from the clerks in his department
to the stock Of q company Of which he
Is president and one Of the chief own
ers. This he denies and says that
IL any clerks in the Pension Office
have bought stock in the corporation
referred to-which is . refrigerator
~company-it has been done without his
knowledge or approval.
Third, he is charged with having
turned wei to his son, John Raum, the
pension claims hat were placed in his
hands for prosecution before he became
Commissioner, and with having given
these claims precedence over the cases
pending before the office. This he
denies and says that the business his
son brings to the Office takes the same
course as the rest and Is given NO less
and no greater advantages. but AL the
grist that comes to the mill Is treated
alike.-Washington Letter.

Overstocked with Mediocres.

When any profession or calling is over
stocked it means, generally, that there's
too large an amount of mediocrity in
such profession or calling. Or, in other
words, there are too many who can do
the same thing equally WE'LL There is
always place for the better worker, the
man or woman whose individuality and
originality can strike out in some new
path and make an improvement on the
Old method, providing such worker has
force enough to keep on pushing his or her
talent to the front and not use that same
force up in dwelling on discouragements.

The Nominee for Congress.

Chattanooga Times.
The Congressional Convention, as
we supposed it would, named Hon,
H. c. Snodgrass, of White, as the
candidate by reclamation.
He is man of ability and force, a
good canvasser and strong speaker,
able to hold his own with any man
the Republicans may put against
him. Mr.. Snodgrass was not our
choice, as we made plain some weeks
ago, when we said we thought Mr..
Bates entitled to the nomination
but the Democray in convention as
sembled has taken a different view
of the matter, and it is not our prov
ince to object.
In view of the course the majority
party has taken in Congress we be-
lieve that the question Of placing in
the lower House a Democratic ma
jority, rises far above all other ques-
tons in national importance. Sure
ly the time is at hand when a check
upon greed and usurpation at Wash>
ington is demanded. The eXtrava-
gance Of the Fifty-first Congress is
without parallel in the Governments
history. 1t has increased the pen
sion expenditures to $15O,OO0,OOO a
year, and many other items in like
proportion. 1t proposes to spend
$1O,OOO,0OO year in an effort to force
the South to send negroes to Con-
gress. 1t is about to abandon free
sugar because its reckless depletion
of the revenues will not permit Of it
it has legislated for trusts and jobs
and against the people.
In the face of such record the
questions of tariff reform, protection
and civil service reform sink out of
sight, in a patriotic desire to bring
the Government back to its moor
ings.
We have to repeat what we said
yesterday, to the effect that the can
didate has not a walkOver. There
must be work done, and that of the
liveliest kind, to insure his election.
The Republicans are thoroughly Or
ganized and led by able and adroit
politicians. They will make taking
appeals to the local pride of the
people in the eastern counties and
back their appeals with liberal ex-
penditures of money. The Demo-
Gratis must go to work and not cease
until the polls close. ,- ,-.
Every consideration is dwarfed by
the Importance of IA Democratic ma
jority in the next House, and all
question of local pride must be put
aside. The Democrats must now or
ganize, get ready to make an ag>
gressive canvass, and Mr.. SnOdgrass
will be triumphantly elected, but it
cannot be accomplished otherwise.
He will work with zeal and earnest
ness, and every Democrat in the dis,
trict must lend a helping hand.

THE Democratic convention of this,
the third, Congressional district, held
at Chattanooga last Tuesday, was a
very harmonious affair. Hon. H. G.
Snodgrass, of Sparta, was nominated
for Congress by reclamation, and a
sound and aggressive Democratic
platform Was adopted for him to
make the canvass on. The nominee
is well known to perhaps majority
Of our readers, having been born and
raised in the adjoining county of
White. He is a staunch and un-
swerving Democrat, firmly grounded
in the faith and principles of the
party, and with the courage to assert
and contend for his convictions I'M
der all circumstances. 1t is not to be
expected that any one man could be
the unanimous choice of every DEM
ocrat in the district, but it has been
a long time since this district was so
thoroughly united upon one man as
1t is upon Mr.. Snodgrass. 1t will
take hard fight to win this district
back to the Democratic fold. Mr..
SnOdgrass will do his whole duty in
a vigorous, aggressive campaign, and
will stand true to the people and the
party when elected, and it is the duty
of the entire Democracy of the dis
trict to come up as one man to his
support. The reckless course of the
present Republican Congress in
squandering the public revenues, the
hatred of the South exhibited by Re-
publican members in their vote on
the infamous Federal election bill,
and the whole trend of legislation in
favor of the classes against the
masses, are certainly sufficient in
ducements to inspire every Democrat
in the land to use every means and
effort in his power to dislodge the
corruptionists. This district is safely
Democratic if every Democratic voter
does his duty, and certainly with the
responsibility resting upon them
none can do less. We can and we
must redeem the district.

OUR neighboring county of DeKalb
is now in the midst of a heated con-
test over the question of the removal
of the Courthouse and county site
from Smithville to some other point
in the county. The old Courthouse
at Smithville was injured bya storm
some months ago to such an extent
as to make it unsafe, and it therefore
becomes necessary to build new
temple Of justice for the good county
of DeKalb. Two acres of ground on
the farm of c. w. L. Hale, midway
between Liberty and Doweltown, has
been offered to the county, and the
people of that section of the county
propose to build a fine Courthouse
thereon and donate it to the county,
in case the people vote to remove the
county site thereto. The county
court of DeKalb last Monday ordered
an election on the question of remov-
al. The proposed new county town
will BIZ christened New Liberty.
