A Wonderful Irish Athlete to Give Ur
 Athletics.

A Wonderful Irish Athlete to Give UF
 Athletics.
 Pat Davin, the wonderful amateur athlete of Ireland, is to retire from the athletic arena. He has had a remark able athletic career and, with the ex- ception of L. E. Myers, it is safe to say no athlete ever lived who struck such terror in the hearts of others when he appeared on the field. At home he was for several years invincible in jumping and hurdle racing, and as weight put ter he was capital. He holds the En- glish record for running broad jump. In 1883, when Ireland was visited by a team of picked athletes, Davin defeated George R. Gray, of the New York Athletic Club, for the all-round cham pionship of Ireland. A glance at his records reveals the following: Running high jump, Gift. 29lin.; running broad jump, 23ft. Bin; 120yds. hurdle, Sit. Gin. high, 162-5s:; 1Ooyds. run, 10 2-5s.; put ting 16-pound shot 3sft. 5in.; throwing 56-pound weight between the legs with a follow, 26ft. 0in.; throwing 16-pound hammer, 3ft.

The Presbytery of Oregon has de-
cided that all candidates for license
must quit the use Of tobacco. In
dianapolis Journal.
That is right, but the experience
of the Methodist conferences was
something more is necessary, 'min-
listers would begin again" The
North Indiana and other conferences
authorized the presiding elders, yes
made it their duty to prefer charges
against preachers, who violated this
admission pledge, for falsehood and
took their license away from them
reducing them to the ranks, that
kind of action tells. The day is
coming when ministers will be clean
men, and the disease will be infec-
tious, the laity will be included.

The Knox County Convention

The Knox County Convention,
according to the Tribune and Senti-
mel was conducted in such a way as
would not give credit to the various
candidates and their friends. These
two papers charge that from twelve
to fifteen thousand dollars we're used
By the candidates to secure nomina-
tons. The TINES knows nothing
about it, but there is one thing GER
+ tsin that money is used to carry all
the elections in this degenerate age.
And it can be said that the pot has
no right to say to the kettle, "you
are black" There is corruption in
both of the old parties in this direc-
/. ton. Our law makers and law dis
pensers wink at these corruptions, so
that it is almost impossible to elect
honest men in our cities or in coun-
ties in which cities are located.
Dishenes, politicians can handle the
ahysser classes with whisky and
nancy.

NoN-sectarianism and non-parti-
sanship are, at this time, popular
catch words, and are like charity on
ly in one respect, that they cover a
multitude of sins. Joel Swarts, D.
D., in Union Signal.
This sentiment does not comport
with the action of the third party
of Nebraska, unless the leaders
there wish to "cover multitude Of
SINS" We will venture the assertion
on the very threshold of such state
ments, that the men who make them
are not even respectable cranks, but
are low demagogues, if D. D., is
carried at the end of the name,
stuck there by little starving COL
lege, for ten dollars, a head.

OUR politics are in a state Of deg
radiation.
The word politician means Office

Usually the man who seeks an office
is unfit to hold it.
And l assert and insist that this is
most especially true of the only Of
fee in this country which man
must neither seek nor decline.--Wal-
ter Gregory.
The TINES can say amen to what
Mr.. Gregory says. We do not
know him but we venture to say he
is a clean man. If Mr.. Gregory
was here in this Congressional dis
trict he could find state of things
that is even worse than he depicts
them, here is q man who not only
seeks, hunts and loves an Office but
sends his two sons out, to help him
carry out his plans for capturing an
Office. Ifpolitics are in a state Of
degradation, what must be the con-
dition if these men who degrade it

The Third Party, in Nebraska
have agreed upon strictly non-par-
tisan canvass in that state for consti-
tutional prohibition. That is sensi-
bic and right, but if right and good
in this canvass, to bring everybody
into o thorough and affective work
why not practice the same sensible
way all through our prohibition
action, getting and keeping the good
will of all temperance men. Thus
giving each party in all other re-
spects the right to vote for their
principles, besides voting for prohi.
bition.

great good will result, especially if

THE SANDBAG LAW.

We are told that to-day Sullivan
county has a large surplus in her
treasury, and that not a dollar was
this year levied on real estate, the
privilege tax meeting all the county's
obligations How is it in Johnson
county?-Mountain City Tomahawk
That statement is declaration
concerning one of the most unfair
and illegitimate methods of collecting
revenues that ever existed in the
State of Tennessee or under any 9TH
err civilized government. 1t is class
legislation, pure and simple. The
merchant who pays his tax annually
for the privilege of carrying on mer-
camille pursuits is not exempt from
the taxes on his stock in which his
money is invested, and why should
the farmer be relieved from paying
on his lands or for the privilege Of
conducting his branch Of business
it is asmuch State privilege to al
low man to till his own soil as it is
10 sell his own goods.
The author Of the bill that con-
ceived such a measure, ifhe is living
to-day, should hide his head in
shame, and the State, county and
city authorities who continue the
practice share the authors guilt and
ought to feel the same sense of burn
ng shame at the preparation of
such an outrage. 1t is the State
sandbsgging a man and relieving
him of enough to satisfy all demands
and promising to return and get the
balance ifhe finds the first grab in
sufficient. Is there a Democrat in
the State of Tennessee who favors
such bold daylight robbery?-Knox-
vile Sentinel.
The TIMES editor knows from per-
sonal experience something of the
iniquity of this sandbag law. 1t is
not known to us who is the author
Of this unjust grabbing ola mans
pocket book, but it matters but lit
tie who he was, the men and the
party who have the power in the
State, are and should be held re-
sponsible for its continuance. The
SenHnels party has had the State
government ever since the war clos
ed except one or two terms of the
law making power and they have
willingly perpetuated this outrage.
The Sentinel ought to make it a
personal matter, with its party, of
course he might incidentally refer
to the member who introduced the
bill, but it may have been wal
measure, butt isso clearly wrong
that allowing it to remain on the

UNCONSTITUTIONAL.

WASHINGTON, April %. The
United States Supreme Court,
through Chief Justice Fuller, to-day
rendered an opinion adverse to the
constitutionality of State laws pro-
viding for the seizure of liquor
brought to the State in package.
Such laws, the court holds, are in
reference with interstate commerce.
After the liquor becomes the prop
erty Of the importer the State may,
under police powers, regulate or
prohibit the sale, but it has no pow
er in the absence of express congress
sional authority to prohibit transpor-
tation Of an article from another
State and its delivery to an import
er
The case in which the decision
was made was made was that of Gus
Leidy and Co., plaintiff in error, VS..
A. J. Hardin, Brought here on ap-
peal from the Supreme Court Of
Iowa and this court reverses the de-
cision of the State court. Justices
Gray, Harlan and Brewer dissented.
The case is one Of great Importance
to prohibit liquor dealing.
The TINES is pleased to publish
the fact that Judge Brewer, who is
the last appointed Judge of the Su:
preme Court, and made so by Presi.
dent Harrison, dissented from the
opinion OF the majority Of the Court
we are pleased to see his name asso'
ciated with Justices Gray and Har'
Ian in favor of the rights of States
to protect their people from thu
blighting curse Of the liquor
traffic. We read the decision
of the court, given by Chief Justice
Fuller, (wno is Cleveland's appoint
ee) and we say it with all the re
spect we can command, that no sucl
literary production was ever offere'
to the American people before
The argument is as clear as mud
The democrats will read it and b.
happy as the old lady was who had
sick boy and called in the doctor t
see him, when after examination tn
doctor handed her the following pre-
scription l OF. bogardicum, 2 OF
mllitenden, 4 grains sulphate of gal

If the National government would
educate the Indians and put them to
farming, teaching them the art of
agriculture and self sustaining them
