Governor "Bob" Taylor of Tennessee has
found out that his doll is stuffed with saw
dust. Speaking the other day at Chatta-
nooga he said: When mere boy, on the
farm, on the banks of the Watauga river, I
used to steal an hour occasionally to sit un-
der the sycamore trees and dream of the fu-
ture. I thought that If could get of the
farm and into the city, and be lawyer, my
cup Of happiness would be full. went to
the city, learned q few legal phrases, and my
ambitions were to 60 into politics. My peo-
people sent me to congress, where sat for
two years, with the great men Of the coun-
try. My dream then was to be governor of
Tennessee, the greatest State Of the Union,
and I thought my happiness would he
complete. For two terms the people
Of Tennessee honored me with the
position Of chsif executive. My ambitions
have all been realized-I have mingled with
the great and rich men of the country, and
have been on high pinnacle in politics; but
I say to you that after careful review of
the past, I sigh to rest again under the
shadow of the old sycamore tree on the Wa.
tauga and live again the life Of the farmer
boy. There alone is perfect peace, Joy and
contentmeat. have no political ambitions
to gratifying greatest desire is to get on
good farm with my wife and children and
there pass the closing years of my life.
A monkey, steamship company, United

board. Jardine protested, the company
refused to give up the money, and the matter
was referred to the British consul, and that
functionary decided in favor Of the company.
Then Jardine fled libel in the United
States court and the company then fled its
answer, which is a voluminous document in
typewriting in which it is claimed that the
quartermaster not only owes the SIS but also
the fifty cents fees charged by the British
consul. Now Judge Bromn is to render his
decision regarding the monkey, which is
departed, Its owner, and the steamship oom-
pany, and the public will await with interest
his decision upon subject SO momentous.

SENATOR sTANFORD's sCHHmI

SENATOR STANFORD's sCHHME.
Senator Stanford's scheme to help the
farmers is not received with that enthusiasm
which he doubtless thinks due 1t. He wants
the government to iasue legal-tender notes to
the maximum amount of 800, ZOO, 900. This
"money" is to be loaned at Q per cent. for
not more than twenty years on mortgages on
land owned by American citizens in sums of
not less than $3.50 and in amounts not more
than so per cent. of the assessed valuation of
each pieos of land. When payments are
made on these mortgates, notes to the
amount of the payment are to be Cancelled.
It is argued in behalf OF this interesting
scheme, that 1t is a loan for twenty years at
per cent, redeemable at pleasure. there
is no better security in the world, and 1t
stops the confiscation of farms and makes the
American yeomanry the most independent
people financially in the world.
Let rs see what would happen If this
scheme should be carried into operation. It
seems to be the idea of some that 1t wouldn't
interfere seriously with the financial con-
dition of the county. # did not farmer
whose farm was worth $4,000 could secure
IS, 900 from the government at 2 per cent.
He would need to pay s10e year interest.
He could take the $1,000 to a savings bank
and get 5000 year for it. He could then
take half of this to pay his interest to the
government and put the other $100 in his
pocket. If he found an investment which
would yield more than 4 per cent. he could
obtain 60 much more bonus. But Of course
when the government is lending large sums
OF money to large class of people at 2 per
cent. it is absurd to suppose that private or
corporate Institutions could endure the strain
of rates of interest twice or three times as
great. The country would be flooded with
paper money. II would pour into institu-
tions paying high rates in enormous guam
titles for which no use could be found. Il
would ''swamp" them. A panic would be
the natural result.

AGAINST BUYING oFFfCE,


A rather 'searchIng" bill has passed the
house of representatives in Massachusetts
and will probably pass the senate. 1t is an
act to secure, the publication of election ex-
penses. It exacts sworn statement from
the treasurer of every party committee, from
every person who expends more than twenty
five dollars, and from every candidate who
expends or promises more than twenty In at
tempting to secure his nomination or election
to congress or to any state, town or city Office.
Every committee Of political party or club
which concerns itself with the nomination or
election of candidates is required to have a
treasurer, and he is required to keep
detailed accounts of all moneys received and
disbursed for election purposes. Within
thirty days of an election in connection with
which money has been spent the treasurer is
required to file with the secretary of state or
the clerk of >the city or town in which the
committee has it's headquarters sworn state
ment of the aggregate reosipts and the ex-
penditures in detail. Like statements are
required of all other persons than treasurers
who collect or spend money for such pur-
poses, and of candidates, whether successful
or defeated. False statements are punish
able as perjury, and offenses against the aot
by fine of not more than one thousand dol
lars or imprisonment for not more than one
year.
This is good as far as it goes, but it doesn't
60 far enough. The Worcester Spy well
says: Expenditure by any candidate to pro-
cure his own nomination or election ought to
be forbidden, and every person before enter
ing upon the duties of an elective Office
should be required to make public affirmation
under the pains and penalties of perjury that
he has not spent OF promised or authorised
the spending Of any money to procure his
nomination or election, and will not
perform any promises or engagements which
NAV have been made on his behalf
