Uncle Eph'S Candor.

\ pretty good story is told of thu
late Congressman Taulbee from Ken
lucky, says the Quincy Herald, which
is the more humorous because told BY
himself. An old colorcd man called
Uncle Eph had lived in the Taulbee
family many years and was considered
an honest and faithful old servant.
After the election for congressman,
Taulbce having been a candidate, he
was taunted by some of his opponents
with the statement that Uncle Eph had
voted against him. Loath to believe
him, lie asked Eph: "Is it true that
you voted against md at the election?''

In the advertising proplem there are
two uncer.s;n factors which always
cause a great deal of trouble. The
publisher is unable to tell Just what
the space costs, and the advertisers
unless he looks for direct returns
cannot tell just what it is worth to him.
The problem of buying and selling is
difficult enough under any cireum,

more difficult. On the whole, it is not
strange that there should frequently

''Biue Laws" Of Tennessee.
Published by request. J

The supreme court of Tennessee ha:
just rendered decision which is likely
to attract considerable notice. by reason
Of its involving the question Of religious
liberty. The case is that of the State v;
Il. NJ. Eing, farmer of Obion county,
charged with violating the Sabbath law
of the state by plowing on Sunday. The
law under which Mr.. King was prosecut
ed is relic of early puritan legislation,
appropriate for time when church and
state were united, as. out of harmony
with the principles of civil and religious
liberty which characterize our govern
ment.
Mr.. King is member of the Seventh
day Adventist denomination, a sect which
observe the seventh day of the week
Siturday-as the Sabbath, and have few
members in that portion of the south.
They carefully and scrupulously observe
each seventh day as holy time, and be-
lieve that they have an insiienable right
to labor on the other six, under the pro-
visions of the fourth commandment
which says, ''six days shalt thou labor
and do all thy work" They are every
where known as peaceable and law-abid-
ing citizens. On Sunday, the 23d day of
June, 1889, Mr.. King was observed plow-
ing corn in his field by some members
of company who had banded together
for the avowed purpose of prosecuting
every violation of the State Sunday law.
He was brought before the magistrate
and fined three dollars and costs. Not
satisfied with this, his accusers succeed
ed in having him indicted, for the same
act, before the circuit court of Obion
county, on the rather singular ground
that blowing corn on Sunday constituted
a nuisance. The trial was held in April
last, with the result that Mr.. King was
again convicted and fined seventy-five
dollars and costs, notwithstanding the
witnesses testified that the only disturb
ance caused by the act was disturbance
of their religious ideas.
Mr. Kings defense was conducted by
the National Religious Liberty AssOcia-
tion, an organization of recent origin,
wholly of Christians, and
on the principle of the total sep
aratIon of the church and state. The
case will probably be carried to the su-
preme court of the United States.
This decision of the Tennessee supreme
court, has been followed by many arrests
Of members of Mr.. Kings denomination,
in various other places throughout the
state, and a contest seems fairly begun
which is to determine whether religious
liberty in this country is reality, or on
" an empty boast. L. A. SMITH.

The free coinage amendment to the
silver bill was defeated Wednesday and
that ends it, probably. 1t is not likely
that the majority in the senate will cling
SO tenaciously to free coinage as 10 COM

ger is that in the struggle that may en-
sue the silver bill may fail entirely.

The new sect,ona, Politics.

| 1t is likely that the term sectional
politics" will take a new meaning within
q short time. During two generations il
has designated the strong feeling of an
tagonism which has existed between the
extremists of the north and south-the
south including the former slave holding
states, and the north meaning the anti
slavery states generally. But now that
slavery is dead issue of the past, and
the war growing out of it dates back
nearly thirty years, there is no reason for
any hostile political feeling between the
north and south, and the semblance of
animosity is only kept alive by fanatics
on either side.
The next phase of sectional politics,
and one which is rapidly taking shape,
is that which divides the nation into east
and west, instead of north and south.
The term east will include the states
which have enterprise and capital seek
ing protection, or rather advantages at
the hands of the national government,
and the west will include the producing
and toiling states, whether they be locat-
ed west of the Alleghanies or south of
Mason and Dixon's line.
The tendency towards plain demark-
alton in sectional politics has been nota
BILE for some time past and in many ways
but it was particularly manifest in the
house vote on the silver bill. Though
the free coinage proposition is distinctly
endorsed by the democratic party, some
twenty-five democratic members from
the east voted against it. And notwith-
standing the unprecedented power which
has been exercised by the republican
caucus, twenty-three republican members
from the west, including the entire Kan
sas delegation voted with the democrats.
The caucus has thus far controlled the
republican members on the tariff ques-
tion without regard to sectional interests
but in the event that the senate shall
send back the Mckinley bill with essen
tial notifications in favor of tariff re-
form, it is probable that some of the
western republicans will fly the track.
The feeling is described in Washington
special to the Journal-whose republic
anism certainly cannot be questioned
which says:
The fact is, the western representa-
tives are becoming somewhat aggressive
The feeling prevails that the tendency of
legislation is inclined to be against their
interests, and they are rapidly approach
ing point where they propose to stand
out for what they think is their due, let
the consequences be what they may"
Just now the republican party is in
danger of making the same blunder in
the new sectional politics which the
democratic party made in the old sec
tional politics." namely. espousing the
wrong and weak side. The democratic |
party sided with the slave states IN the |
old issue. and the result was that it lost |
power and remained out of power twen-
ty five years. The republican party now
seems determined to stand by dear goods |
and dear money-by the east as opposed |
to the west and southland its folly will |
be punished as sure as the democratic
folly was punished. In politics a blum
der is worse than crime,-Kansas City |

From every trade quarter comes
testimony to the damaging effect of
the Mckinley bill, present and pros
pective, upon business interests. Mr..
L. 4. Sussdorff, an exporter of ma
chinery and naval stores, says in the
Engineering and Mining Journal:
THE mere possibility of the Mckinley
bill has so hurt our tin and copper
trade in Mexico and Cuba as 10 almost
shut US cut. We can manufacture
copper cheaper here than any where
else, but the Sheet Copper Trust effect
ually kills our Cuban and Mexican
trade in manufactured copper and
hands II oyer to European countries.
We connot compete with European
copper manufacturers while we have to
pay the highest prices the trust insists
upon. Lincoln Democrat.
