At a commemorative dinner given at
Boston by the young mems Democrat o
club on Jefferson's birthday, Mr. ]. NJ.
| Beck Of Philadelphia, made an address
that has attracted much attention. At
| ter some comment on what he terms
1.-the golden calf of proteoaon, - he say :
of the present times:
Measured by his standard, we have fallen on
evil times. Not in material circumstances per
haps, but in the fact that the people have wan
dered far from the beaten paths Of the constitu
ton and have gone astray TO lengths at which
jefferson would have stood aghast, and even
Hamilton, in his widest dream of centraliza-
ton, would have marveled.
He then proceeded with his terr ible
enumeration OF the evils that have
rapidly followed in the wake of this GEN.
idea of republican government:
The pace toward a strongly centralized power
has been quickened during the brief period of
the present administration. Indeed, Afr. In
gals, one of the spokesman, has openly pro-
claimed upon the floor of the senate that there
exists no supreme fundamental law to restrain
party e&ceSsess Dut that the constitution Is an
elastic instrument which admits of contraction
or distention to meet the supposed demands OF
each generation. With speaker who reverses
the uniform usages Of century and vests all
legislative power, not in congress, but in his
eyes, so that he graduate his vision to party
necessities, with a senate twice passing bill to
interfere with the states in the education of their
children, with bills of varying degrees of de-
merit seeking to destroy the autonomy Of the
states in the vital matter of their elections, with
wholesale theft of seats of senators and repre-
sentatives. with the threat of Federal bayonets
at the polls and the assertion OF the right OF the
viee-presldent to determine the true electora'

How to Secure Money.

Everybody wants TO know how to
make money and eau see how they
could do so il they had a little to start
with, foundation as it were. There
are a great many ways to get money
but the interest is too high or some
thing interferes to place the ordinary
means OF getting money out of the
reach OF the poor man who earns his
money by his days work and has to
pay for what he gets in small amounts.
He must borrow on long time and
pay the interest and part Of the prin-
cipal monthly. To meet this want
the buildin' and loan associations have
been organized and are doing a good
business all over the country. Many

home bought and paid for on the
the building and loan plan. OF all
the associations doing business in this
State the National Building Loan and
Protective Union OF Minneapolis, Min.
nesota, everything coEsinered, is the
best When a loan is made the bor-
rover gives his note for 3 yeary only,
two years less time than given to any
other association, or in other words
stock natures in that association in
8 years and the shareholder has an
absolute guarantee Of that fact. Sew
en- years is required to mature stock
in all other associations, The Nation
al, of Minneapolis, is doing a great
deal OF work in the State and IN this
section. A local board has been or
gauized here and is composed OF good
men, The shareholders are increasing
daily. A loan was made Tuesday to
H. H. Snyder, of Elizabethton, Of
$4,000 and the draft was csshed at the
Wstauga Bank in this city. Below

The Next Governor.

All over the State the Democratic
papers are discussing the availability
of their favorites for the nomination
for Governor. SO far as we have been
able to Judge Hon. Josiah Patterson,
Hon. Benton Mcmillan and Hon, Jere
Baxter are far in the lead OF all 9TH
ers. Col. Patterson did noble service
for the party in the last presidential
campaign as an elector for the State
at large, but in our opinion he spoiled
his prospects for the nomination by
recently engaging in a l.cal factional
fight in Memphis. Mr.. Mcmillan il
one OF the abest men in the State.
On the stump he is the peer OF any
man in the South. If he should be-
come candidate he will be n hard
man to defeat in popular convention.
But just now Democrats all over the
State are realizing the fact that McMil-
lan's place is in Congress. He is one
of the acknowledged leaders on the
Democratic side, and the party could
lily afford to do without him. In the
next congress he will be second on
the ways and means committee anC
may be it's chairman. The fight fol
tariff reform must go on, and men O.
experience will be required
Hon. Jerre Baxter has large fol
lowing in Middle Tennessee, and witt
Mcmillan out OF the race will receive
the support OF thatsection practically
solid. Mr.. Baxter is comparatively a
young man, is endowed with extraordi
nary business qualifications, as a flint
speaker and would make a rousins
canvass. As a "mixer," a man wht
can make friends of everybody, he ha
few equals 1t really begins to lool
like Col. Jere had the inside track 70
the nomination.

Capt. Dunnavant left yesterday for
Shelby, N. G., to look after his work
there. He has the contract for grad
ing the Southern & Western Air Line
from Shelby to Cranberry and has al.
ready graded 20 miles OF the road and
is ordered to go to work at once and
complete the remaining so or 60 miles
Capt. Dunnavant told tho COMET
yesterday he would move his force
from here to Shelby next week or as
soon as he could flash up his work
and get his outfit ready for shipping.
AS soon as that road is built to Gran
berry the L. T. & w. N. G. road will
be made a standard guage to Johnson
City and as the S. 4 w. road connects
at Shelby with the Carolina Contra
and runs direct to Wilmington il
will be seen at a glance that Johnson
City is booked for one end OF an i'm
portant trunk line.

lima railroad on tie 9th of March.
The business men of the place have

That Rallroad.

The Bristol, Elizabethton and North
Carolina Railroad came very near get
ting into the soup Monday at Eliza
bethton. Fortunately, the President
saw the tureen in time to avoid it, by
asking for more time in which to per-
feet their proposition. They thought
they we're ready, but the Honorable
County Court OF Carter county was
determined to protect loyal Garter"
and they saw at once the proposition
as drawn, was all Bristol, and that the
bond Of $4,000 binding the company
to build the road was not forthcom-
ing, and also that the company wanted
to only build to Elizabethton instead
Of to everywhere" as frat proposed.
Elizabethton and Carter county want
q railroad, and will have one, but it
don't have to come from Bristol, as
the Carter county people are very
we'll aware. 1t is not improbable that
more than one trunk line will pass
through Elizabethton. The E. L. &
w. N. g. road will soon be made a
standard gauge and connected at
Cranberry with trunk line running
to Wilmington. The Watauga Valley
railroad has been chartered by parties
interested in the Three C's and an en-
gineer corps will be put to work next
week making preliminary survey from
johnson City to the Doe Mountain
via Elizabethton. The survey is be-
ing paid for by the Tires C's compa'
ny and the company will build the
line il the county of Garter will give
the rights OF way, etc. The Three C'f
company has got the meney to do just
what it proposes and has evidenced it,
ability to do SO, TO the entire satisfac'
ton OF the people in this section

means that the Atlantic & DanvillC
road will connect with it at the North
Carolina line and will thereby make il
trunk line to Norfolk. This is mo-
idle talk, but cold facts. Gen. Ewing
G. B. Fiske and others who are direct
ly connected with the Atlantic & Dan
vile road are also largely interested
in Carter and Johnson county miner
al land and they must have railroad
through that section and are willing
to cooperate with the Three C's il
building the line as proposed. Bris
toll wants the A. & D. road and would
be perfectly willing to build a branch
to the iron mines to secure it to Bris
toll, especially if Carter county would
take stock in the branch. Elizabeth

United we Stand"

The truth OF the old aphorism that
in "union there is strength" has been
established for ages and was again
demonstrated in Johnson City last
Thursday. Our people have accepted
it as true, and in fact it is the great
secret of our success. When a ques-
ton relating to the welfare OF the city
is to be settled, it can very safely be
left to the good judgment of the PEG.
pie. They always act promptly and
honorably. On last Thursday an cleo
ton was held on a proposition to ex-
tend the time Of completing the Three
C's road in Washington county sixty
days, or until the 30th OF April. Every
man, woman and child in Johnson
City is for the Three C's. They know
what the road has done, is doing and
will do for the place. They know that
the Three C's waved the magic wand,
as it were, that caused Johnson City
to spring into existence and grow
more rapidly than any town in East
Tennessee. There is future before
the place that would cause Chattanoo-
ga or Birmingham to he a little bit
jealous if it were known.
Believing the Three C's company
had done its best to finish the road in
the proper time and that it was en-
titled to an extension OF sixty days
time if considered necessary, the PEG
pie were willing the time should be
given and voted accordingly. The
vote stood 422 for and 2 against the
ex.ention.
The vote was not full one, but the
voters were - of enthusiasm when
The polls closed and the result was an
nounced. All honor to those who
voted for Johnson City.
