IT is little strange that foreign.
ers who come to this country to bet
ter their condition, but often they
wish to adopt the very wrongs that
drove them from the mother country
to this, but it is true. This country
is American and the language is En-.
glish, and it ought to be the one
great object of all who came here to
adopt the American language, as all
business is doee in and through that
language. The public schools Of
the various states are beginning to
move in this by throwing out the
teaching Of all languages except the
English, and that is right.

GIVE THEM A CHANCE.

DR.. BLANKENsHIP in his talk to
the Houkite m eeting last Monday
said, "If Houk is such bad man,
why not elect somebody else" The
reason Doctor, why we have not
elected somebody else is, that Houk
and his allies, take advantage of the
republicans Of the district. They
meet in secret cliques or rings and
send out notice that the republican
party will hold convention, with
out consulting any one as to time,
thus giving no opportunity to the
party to make selection Of a man
to represent their interests, just as
you did this time, five men met at
Knoxville, gave no notice to the
party, asked no information, publish
cd no call for the people Of the par
ty, but said, "We wilfhave aconven-
ton the 10th of April, to nominate
candidate for Congress-" when
they knew no man could make him
self known in district of nine coun-
ties in four weeks, while Houk had
his Office holders and Office seekers
all posted to hold the county meet
ings on the same day, giving no
chance to present any man spoken
ofin any county. Therefore the five
men under Houk, rule nine counties,
they did not ask republicans
how they wished to settle the ques-
ton as to how candidates should be
nominated, but they gave their Sc
cret county rings, the names
of delegates and resolutions cut
and dried at Washington City,
sending out the will of the dicta-
tor and then begin to cry boilers to
all who refuse to receive o dog collar
from the Houk ring. Now republi.
cans shall we put on these dog col
lars, for the man who trades off the
republican city of Knoxville to the
democrats? When did Houk enter
his protest against that vile trading
which has been done for the last six
or eight years? never did he enter
his protest. If Doctor Blankenshir
and the Houk crowd will give the
people of the party chance to vote
by ballot they will show him wheth.
er they will elect somebody else OF
not.

Total shortage. ....... ,S45 1A.4
Now hold your breath awhile and
then cry aloud, and say, "These
great stealings show the necessity
for short terms of office-a chance to
examine the books" In most of
these states no good man who cared
for his character dared to be can
didate against these immaculate ras-
Gals, for they were hunted down and
scandalized. We find the same dis
position in the second district, good
men are not anxious to have their
characters assasinated by being can
didates for Congress or by opposing
the present incumbent who has held
the place twelve years, and now
takes lease at the instance of the
saloon men, and by the work of his
family and official relations, for two
more years. Republicans, shall we
succumb to the democrats and polit-
ical frauds Of such rings, to keep one
family in Office? Shall we be lead
to the polls like ignorant ninnies
Lets put a good republican on the
track for Congress, and then vote
for him and elect him, we can do it.
Think about it and at the proper
time let meeting be called giving
plenty of time for every man who
wishes to be candidate to visit the
whole of the second district. Let
all the people say, amen.

In the first congressional district
there were two conventions, a Tay-
lor convention and q Butler conven-
ton. AlfTaylor was unanimously
nominated at his convention. But
Ter was unanimously nominated,
at his, at this gathering Butler had
a patent medicine certificate read
which stated that AlfTaylor had
sold out the party to his brother
Bob on one occasion, so now they go
it. And ALT will have one raed
that Butler sold out to the whisky
league. The certificates from the
second district have already been
published and are filed for refer
ence. Nice fellows for Congress, in
the first and second.

THERE is but little doubt but the
defeat of the Blair educational bill
was accomplished by the Catholics Of
the United States. Their influence
was exerted on certain members Of
both the oldpsrties. The Louisville
Courier Journal announces its defeat
in great black letters as follows:
DEAD AND DAMNED.
Kentucky needed this school sys-
tenn as much Is any state in the I'm.
ion. She has 1883 who can no,
read or write that are ten years old

people to be ingnorant, as they are
handled more easily. Catholics pre-
fer the same condition for the same
reason.

PENSION LEGISLATION.

In the passage of the dependent
pension bill the republicans party
has redeemed its pledge to the sol.
diers of the nation. The bill has to
60 before the House, and may even
receive from that body greater liber.
atty, as the members of the House
are nearer to the people than the
Senate, obtaining their position di
rectly from the people. The bill as
it passed the Senate, is the same as
was passed by both Houses three
years ago and vetoed by that man
Cleveland who has given all his
strength and talent to foist upon the
people a law favoring foreign coun-
tries against our own laborers. In
principle it lisa service. pension and
nota dependent one as it is called. 1t
started out as a dependent pension
bill, but the clause that made il
practically such was wiped out, so
that it really becomes service pen
sion bill to every man who served
three months in the war Of the rebel
lion, who is now suffering from disa-
bility mental or physical that is not
the result of his own vicious habits,
is entitled to $1,000 per month, so ii
is disability pension instead Of a
dependent pension. Whatever it
may be, President Harrison will
sign the bill as it passes Congress.

LoMo NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

If any number ofrepublicans Of
this district want a king and royal
family to have all the Offices, and to
rule the people by secret rings and
cliques, the TINES has no sympathy
for such movement. The TINES
favors frequent changes, it is this
that keeps pure men in Office. The
people should demand frequent
changes with thorough settlements.
Here is a list Of old sinners, dem
ocratic sinners, with the amount Of
their stealings. These men were
kept in Office years and years, be-
cause they created rings thatrenom-
mated them, against the wishes Of

talk and say high sounding words,
just like some of our old republican
sinners talk before nomination.

MURPHY THE WINNER.
An Unsatisfactory Fight at the occi-
dental Club.

SAN Francisco, March l4th.-Billy Muir
ply, the Australian, and Tommy Warren
fought with small gloves for purse of
81 800 at the Occidental Athletic Club to-
night, the winner to take all and the
championship of the world in the feather
weight class.
Murphy bet Warren $3.50 he would put
him out at the end of the fourth round,
which bet Warren promptly accepted.
Murphy was not in first-class form to-
night, while Warren, who declared if he
could not knock the Australian out he
would not be "done" himself, had trained
carefully, and was in the finest OF condi-
ton.
The betting was about 100 to 20 in favor
of Murphy.
Warren weighed III pounds, while
Murphy weighed 1854.
Danny Needham was chosen referee.
The gong struck time at 9;35. Murphy
was the first to lead, but fell short and was
countered on the neck. A moment later
swung his right on Warren's Jaw, nearly
bringing him to the floor. Warren was
careful from this on, keeping close to avoid
a swing. The round was about even.
Round two-Murphy was right at it
again, and caught Tommy heavily on the
jaw, bringing him to the ropes. Warren
quickly recovered, and coming to the CEN
ter managed to keep Murphy of, at the
same time scoring many straight ones on
the Australians jaw.
Round three-Murphy made terrible
swing for Warren's jaw, but it passed over
his shoulder. Warren kept poking away at
Murphys mouth, scoring three to one.
Round four-Murphy made at Warren,
driving him about the ring to the ropes,
where he wrestled him down, pressing his
knee on Warren amidst cries of foul War
ren laid there for moment as if hurt in
ternally. When he was on his feet, MUIR
ply came at him again. They fought
rapidly for a moment, when time was
called amid great hubbub.
The police entered the ring at the end oil
the fourth round fearing trouble
When the referee could make hinseli
heard he announced Murphy the victor
claiming that Warren had remained on the
floor over ten seconds after being knocked
down.
The decision was far from satisfactory
the majority present claiming that it was 6

POSTAL TELEGRAPH.
A Proposition in Accordance with Wanna
makers Bill.

A Proposition in Accordance with Wanna
makers Bill.
WASHINGTON, March 14th.-A new pro-
position in connection with the proposed
postal telegraph was made to the House
Committee to-day bv j. NJ. Seymour, of the
New York Stock Exchange, who stated
that he represented a number of capitalists
willing to build lines and maintain postal
telegraph system under Government super
vision, in accordance with the provisions
of the Postmaster Generals bill, or to oper-
ate on a uniform twenty fve-c cent rate.
The company proposed to use the Patten
Multiplex Telegraph system, build and
maintain the lines needed, furnish the
operators, power and stationery, and to
have the right to build over all the postal
roads. They ask exemption from Federal
and State taxation. In cities where Post
offices are crowded the syndicate will fur
nish its own offices. 1t would make con-
tract with the Government for fifteen years
with the privilege of renewal, unless the
Government would take the lines at the
end of that time, at the value appraised by
experts.
The syndicate expects to be allowed to
do private business outside of the Govern
ment work.
To maintain the lines under the Pattes
system will cost 70 per cent. less than the
present system. 1t is proposed to lease the
wires 10 newspapers at nominal rates, and
reduce the press rates SO per cent.
To establish a system under the prnvl-
sion of the Postmaster-General's bill would
cost, Seymour thought, about $1,000 600.
a complete system, covering the country,
would cost S25, ,000 900.
