SOUTHERN PROSPERITY--WHAT
PRODUCED

LET us take the increase for in
stance in wealth in the South.
Much of our wealth we are told is
due to the building ofnew railroads
the establishment of factories and
the opening Of mines. At the same
time, statistics, now a well-known
science, show that our agricultural
and timber and mineral lands have
advanced steadily in value and that
town and city lots are immensely
higher. To-day the real value of
property, as estimated by Mr.. Can
mel for the census, averages $685.. Ii
per person as against $3S5.62 for
1880. To-day the assessed wealth
of the South is $3,706, 906,16S, as
against So, 1874, 1872, 795 for Jan. LIST,
1880. Nashville American.
Here in the showing Of the Amer
lean is the key that opens up the
answer to the great question as to
how this great change was produced
The increase in values has beer

featuring; one begat the other

will build up such demand for tn
products of the soil that every avail

THE INTERSTATE LIQUOR
TRAFFIC.

BILLS for the suppression of the
interstate liquor traffic in prohibi-
ton states, have been introduced in
the United States Senate, as there
will be in the House. There ought
to be a law governing this question.
If state, by her constitution and
laws, prevents the manufacture and
sale Of intoxicating liquors, the pre-
visions of such constitution and the
laws made hereunder, should be
recognized and respected by the
laws of commerce with the other
states, and all liquors shipped into
such state should be declared con-
traband and be confscated and de-
stroyed. The Government of the
United States ought to respect every
law of a state that is not contrary
to the provisions of the constitution
Of the Nation, and see that each
states laws are not violated. 1t is
certainly an insult to the people Of
q prohibition state to have men COM
missioued by the Nantional Govern
ment to violate the laws Of such
state.

The Colored People.

The TIMES has been giving room
to all local news items from the
colored people, and yet they take
but little interest in them. We are
surprised that not more than doz-
en- cOlOred men take the TIMES.
Certainly if they do not read they
ought to provide a good family
paper for their children. 1t is true
the TINES is not an organ for the
colOred people, as such, but it
should at least be guide to them
for correct political and moral
living, as it advocates the best in.
terests for all people without refer.
ence to their color. This is a high.
er, truer and nobler line to travel
than the low, slippery and illegiti
mate one of advocating policy fol
official favor, by pandering to the
dregs of human society for a few
ten cent Offices. This is not thu
way to lift the colored people up Il
q higher plane of living.

REPUBLICAN NOMINATIONS.

THERE are two representative
necessaries in the building up and
sustaining ola political party. First,
the principles Of a party is largely
the controlling factor in the success
of the same. The declarations of a
party does not however always give
victory. The correctional inau-
ences of the major proposition often
determines the result of a given
campaign. While it is said princi-
pies are eternal and therefore ought
to prevail at all times, yet with the
same constituency the acknowledged
principles fail to get their endorse
ment. And it may be we'll to con-
slider why it is so; why the same
principles do not always bring out
the same results from the people.
The reason must be sought for in
some other field. In looking the
whole ground over it becomes evil
dent that the cause of defeat is often
found in bad nominations-first in
competent men, which embraces ig-
norant, careless and drunken per-
sons; second, dishonest men. With
this view there ought to be the
greatest wisdom used in making
nominations. 1t is true, in strong
districts like the second Tennessee,
it would be difficult to defeat the
nominee, even though the nomina'
ton is procured by fraud, or, ever
if the nominee is incompetent. 1r
Blonnt county, the TINES is PROUD
to acknowledge, that her count,
Offices have been and are now fillet
with competent men, honorable
men, such men as respect the right
of the people. Since our acquaint
ance with Blount county all he
officials have been good men, sue
as bring honor to the party. There
fore the Republican majority ha
increased largely in the last four 0
five years, because good men are q
the head of the party.

SUGAR LEAF ROUTE.

The TIMES has the pleasure Of
acknowledging the receipt of a neat
map of the Chicago st. Paul h Kan
sas City Ry., and connections, a line
of road the editor and his wife had
the pleasure Of travelling over in
November. For new road it is
presenting the strongest reasons for
successful career in doing railroad
work. The road has adopted a
trade mark in the shape ofthe sugar
maple leaf which clearly outlines its
line of road. The TINES suggests
that the leaf adopted as the trade
mark be the name given to the road
The Sugar Leaf Route-as it was
selected from among two thousand
names or emblems for trade mark
for the road.
To all who wish to travel over o
good line Of road with gentlemanly
officials, will find this "Sugar Leaf
Route" safe and pleasant one over
which to go to the great North
West.

SINCE the question Of slavery has
been. settled in the United States,
there is not so much opposition to
. the doctrine of state rights. In all
questions not National, or such as
are notin opposition to public policy
or good morals, the laws Of a state
should be supreme in the govern
ment of the people of that state in
their commercial, financial and ma
terial interests.

The way To have a pure party

The way to have pure party is
to support none but pure men, hon
est men, competent men, sober men.
Such men will make and keep a
party pure. A party that refuses
to put forward and support such
men as are herein specified, ought
to be defeated. God gave the pow
er into the hands of the heather
when Israel did wrong, and thus
made the wicked and unbelievers
punish that people.

AN injunction was asked for by
some Of the citizens Of Knoxville to
prevent the holding of the election
for CITY officers for Knoxville under
the Dorch law. Chancellor Gibson,
before whom the petition was filed,
refused the injunction on the ground
that the Court had no Jurisdiction,
that the Dorch law was unconstitu.
tioual but the Court was not the
power to give relief in that direction.

WARPED INTO HER SLIP.

The Steamer City of New York Meets
with an Accident at Her Pier.
New YORK, June 12.-The big Inman
liner City of New York celebrated her ar
rival at her pier in Hoboken last night by
an accident which threatened q panic and
might have caused loss of life. The steamer
reached the end of her pier at about 8
O'clock. the friends of her passengers having
assembled in force to welcome the latter.
Somehow, either by misjudgment az to moor
ings or because Of bad steering, while she
was being warped into her slip her nose
struck the end of the pier with terrific
force. The whole structure, which Is very
substantially built, seemed about to give
way, aud there was terrified rush on the
part Of those on the pier for its shore end.
But scarcely had the frat dreadful period
of fright passed than q erunohing, tearing
noise from the steamers prov added to the
fright of those on the pier. The big ship's
bow seemed to eat up the heavy iron sheath
ing which forms the shelter for the major
part of the structure. But the onward
course of the ship was not stopped before
she had torn away quite twenty feet Of the
heavy corrugated iron. The panic stricken
people became almost frantic and would moi
| recognize their safety until the big vesse
gave lurch and tore herself away from thu
| wreck. It required more than two hours
after the accident to get the ship properly
docked. Fortunately none of the passen
gers or persons on the dock were hurt, but
| the escape from an exceedingly serious acct
dent was very narrow.

TEMPERANCE CONGRESS.

Deliberations of the Second DAY.
ssShan There be a Political Party
whose Dominant Idea IL the Prohi-
bition OF the Liquor Trafne9'' Is Dis
cussed Pro and Con.
NEW YORK, June 1.-THE National Tenn
peranee congress resumed it's deliberations
here to-day. The question "Shall There be
Political Party Whose Dominant Idea is
the Prohibition of the Liquor Trafics" was
discussed by 81. K. Carroll, D. D. Mr. Car
roll rather deprecated the prohibition party
and was inclined to answer the question
under discussion in the negative He claimed
that the hope of the temperance cause was
in the school house, and that in the political
warfare IL was proposed to urge, IL would be
more advisable to work through the old
parties.
John Bascom, D. D., ex-presidsnt of Wis
consin university, took an opposite ground.
ton party was the only way of crushing the
evil: e. @. Heath, who was the prohibition
candidate for governor of Texas, also spoke
in favor OF preserving the prohibition party.
Mrs. Festerton, delegate from Washington,
believed in the Importance of the school
room to the temperance cause. She believed
in carrying the cause into politics and main
high license" she said; "banish the legal
lied saloon, let US have national prohibition,
and to that end let us have woman's ballot"
Mr.. Atherton and Mr.. Williams, colored
delegate from Virginia, also favored prohi-
bition party.
The discussion was alao participated in by
DR.: Kynett Of Philadelphia, prohibitionist.
and Mr.. Holland Of Boston. The latter said
he did not believe that prohibition party
was the only salvation of the temperance
cause. r. Fulton Cutting opened the next
discussion on the relation between temper
ance reform and improved dwellings. He
was inclined to think that If hard liquor sa-
looms were abolished the beer places might
exist without doing much harm.
Alfred Lawson of Boston made few re-
marks on the same topic. In the absence of
Hon. Mr.. Foster, finance minister of Canada,
who was to have told of temperance work in
Canada, Robert Rae, secretary Of the Ma
| tional Temperance league Of Great Britain,
| told of the process of the cause ia England.
In a lengthy speech, Henry B. Metcalfe OF
Rhode Island reviewed the fight for prohibit
ton in his state. He said the law was not
| repealed because prohibition hsd been fail
| ure, but because it had been a success.
| In the afternoon session the topic discussed
| was "What Caused the Failure of the Pro-
| hibition Amendments in the Elections In
| Massachusetts,, Rhode Island and Pennsyl-
vania?" q. 81. Faxon Of Massachusetts,,
General Palmer of Pennsylvania, Rev. Ira L.
Cottrell of Rhode Island and others ex.
pressed their views on this subject. The at"
titude of the labor men toward the liquor
traffic was then spoken Of by Messrs. Comp.
ers. Wakeman and others.
The congress concluded it's session tonight
at the Broadway tabernacle with mass
meeting General Neal Dow presided. The
speakers were Mrs. Mary A. Hitchcock, pres
| ident of the Nebraska Women's Temperance
society; Rev. Joseph Cook of Boston, and
General Green Clay Smith of Kentucky

MANCHESTER, Vt, June 12.-The Siam

day after very clear and impartial charge

morning and heard means from the bedroom.
He went to the door and pushed 1t open and
saw White stink into a closet. Tho others

once and summoned neighbors. Soon after
he and White went to the spring and White

Ranch Property Burned by the In
dams In tho Rosebud Country
troops From Fort Keogh on the Way
TO tho scene OF Trouble.
CHICAGO, June IA dispatch from st.
Paul regarding the Indian excitement in Mon
tana says that General Ruger, commander Of
the department. of Dakota, has advices from
Tongue River, Custer, and Keogh that the
Indians are in an excited frame of mind
over the shortage of subsistence and that
alarm exists among settlers, but he has no
information of an uprising and does not be-
lieve In the number of murders reported.
There are four companies of cavalry at
Tongue River in command Of Major Carroll,
and three companies of infantry from Fort
Keogh are on their way to the same spot, due
to arrive on Friday. There are 900 Cheyennes
on the reservation and about 1900 Crows on
the adjoining reservation, but the latter are
peaceable.
The settlers have strongly objected to the
Cheyenne reservation, and there have been
frequent taunts made that the Indians would
soon be cleaned off The result has kept the
Indians and settlers at dsggers' points, and
fomented any trivial difficulty. "There is
no doubt" said the general, THAT the mill
tary on the ground are easily able to cope
with the Indians In case of an uprising,
which, however, do not anticipate. The
June roundup among the cattlemen is due,
and the arms sent by Governor Toole may be
for their protection. It is possible that de-
velopments have occurred since nay last ad-
vices"
A dispatch from Billings, Mont, says:
"The first man to be killed by the Chey-
ennes was Mayer, at the Tongue River
agency. The Indians are killing cattle by
hundreds. Yesterday forty head were fonHd
killed on Pumpkin creek. Four companies
of infantry and band of one troop of cav.
airy have left Fort Keogh for the scene Of
the trouble. Men just in from the Rosebud
country report three ranch properties burned
by Indians and other houses shot into, bui
no people killed. A posse of cowboys left
Rosebud last evening and said they would
drive the Indians back on the reservation
without regard to the troops. The Indians
are camped only eighteen miles from the
station on Rosebud river. The cowboys en-.
gagged in roundup are expected down tn
river tomorrow, and the posse which lef,
Rosebud expects to be joined by them nea
where the Indians are now camped."
