The driver who was in charge of car
on the South Main street line yester-
day ought to receive a reprlmand for
insulting remarks to passengers. Yes
terday when at the East Main street
turn where it is switched off for few
minutes, two strangers boarded the car
thinking it was on the North Main
street line. They discovered their mis-
take when it came to the crossing and
stepped off the rear platform. One of
the two gentlemen stepped to the front
and explained the situation to the dri-
Yer, who deliberately insulted them be-
cause they stopped his car for nothing.
The gentleman was surprised and imms-
diately offered to pay the fare to the Off
cious driver, at the same time remark
ing that a friend who had seen their
mistake had shouted to them that they
were on the wrong line and for that rea-
son they had LETT the car. Again the
driver used his stock of insulting Ian
guage to cast out an insinuation against
this friend. Superintendent Bradley
would have been notified but at the
time he was absent from his Office.
When transfer checks were asked for it
drew forth some more uncallcd for re-
marks.

Pipes that lead from the roofs of
buildings and in rainy weather empty
water in a stream ON sidewalks over
which people have to pass, ought to be
prohibited. 1t is all right when they
lead under the sidewalks to the gutter,
but it isn't pleasant for ladies or any
body to have to wade through a strea m
of water on a sidewalk, especially when
the pipe is so broken at the outlet that
it scatters the water for several feet.
This cap will fit many heads.

The Tariff a Local Issue.

General Hancock uttered "A great
truth, when he said few days after
he was nominated for the Presidency
"the tariff is local ISSUE" If evil
dence had been necessary to prove
this statement it has been supplied in
large quantities by the statements
made to the House committee on
Ways and Means in the hearing now
going on upon the proposed new tariff
bill which the republicans of that
committee are engaged in preparing.
For instance, the New England
manufacturers say that unless they
are given free coal and free iron ore
they will shortly be ruined, while the
iron and coal people of Pennsylvania,
Virginia, West Virginia and Ohio, to
say nothing Of others, stoutly main
tain that unless the present tariff on
coal and iron is kept where it is, or
raised, they will be ruined, and will
have to abandon their mines. When
Gen. Hancock called the tariff a loca!
issue the smart-alecks thought it was
because he was ignorant of the sub
ject, but since then many able men,
after years of study, have arrived at
exactly the same conclusion, because
there is no other logical conclusion.
No tariff bill that has ever been got
ten up,or ever will be, will give salts
faction to the entire country. 1t Is
simply impossible because the inter-
ests of one section are always directly
opposed to those of another section.

WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH
MCDOWELL

1t would seem that the political
leaven is about to stir up discord in
the ranks of the Farmers Alliance.
We find it rather difficult to keep
track of the various organizations OF
the Alliance, Wheel, Laborors'
Union, ETC., and their several com.
binations and consultations. We
believe that j. H. Mcdowell is the
leading spirit of the Farmers
Alliance. He is also editor of "The
Toiler," an alliance paper published
at Nashville, and it is claimed by
some of the state papers that he i:
using the Toiler to press the candidacy
of J. p. Buchanan, President Of the
Farmers Union, or some other com
bination of the above mentioned
organizations, for Governor. Owe
in Chattanooga there is paper called
the Farmers Alliance, devoted t
the interests of that order, which
isn't very sweet on Mcdowell. In
recent issue it handles the Mellow
ell uchanan-Toiler gubernatoria
boom combination without gloves
and then fires the following straigh
shot at Mcdowell
~. II. Mcdowell advertises in hi
paper that he is going to canvas
East Tennessee to explain co-opera
ton and give the secret work. Thi
means that j. H. Mcdowell is goinl
to make a political campaign in Eas
Tennessee for the purpose of working
his political scheme, and he want
the brethren to make appointment

IT Is asserted that the gulf stream
has been undergoing change of
course for two or three years, flowing
in nearer to the coast Of New Eng
land, and that the prevalence of so
much warm weather is due to this
fact. Where they used to have from
six to eight weeks of sleighing each
winter in New England, they have
not had that much altogether for the
last three winters. fit be true that
the gulf stream has changed its course,
it would undoubtedly affect our eli
mate, and to this cause can probably
be traced our mild winters for two or
three years. If such monstrous forces

THERE is an old saying that "a
green Christmas makes fat grave
yards" 1t is asserted that cholera
generally follows in the make of an
influenza epidemic, and the Birming-
ham Age-Herald has looked up the
record and finds that in one instance
at least in this country warm
Christmas has been followed by
yellow fever epidemics. If these
precedents stand for anything the
outlook for health in 1890 is rather
gloomy. But there is no necessity
to cross bridges before we get to them.

THERE are conflicting rumors re-

day the dispatches tell US he is rapid

to assume his duties in the halls of
Congress, and the next day probably
brings the news that Mr.. Randall is
very sick man and there is little
hope of his ever being able to answer
to roll call on the floor of the House
again. Though many adverse criti-
cisms have been passed upon him by
his own party press, his death would
be great loss to the Democrats, and
the party needs every man it has al

WASHINGTON dispatches state that
President Harrison'S first New Year

the kind which has been known at
the White House in a quarter Of a
century. Not over half a dozen
Senators and thirty Representatives

while, when they went home and

wine was served, and many OF
