SOUTH AMERICA makes large use of
United States machinery; but ships
most of it in English vessels. This is
not creditable to American shipping
enterprises, and so far as the faultlie
with the government, it should be

THE lovers of music, pure and un-
defiled, were given such a treat last
night in the renditions of the Musin
Concert company as has not been en-
joyed since the opera house was dedi-
Gated. This city prides Itself upon
its musical culture and its love of clas-
steal music, and yet such companies
as the Boston symphony and the
Musin Concert sing to beggarly houses
while kid" concern will draw full
houses. The complaint that is at
times made against the opera house
management on account of the unar-
tistic character of the entertainments
provided, more justly lodges against
the taste of the opera house patrons.
The opera house is run for business,
not sentiment, and rents must be paid,
and contracts with companies met no
matter what houses are played to.
So long as tank plays and kid compa-
MES will fill the house and legitimate
drama and good talent will not, so
long must the opera management fill
the majority of his dates with the
lower order of performances. There
is no encouragement to open the
house to exceptional talent such as
the Musin Concert company and find
beggarly house, no matter how en-
thusiastic they may be. Every lover
of good music and every one DESTROYS
of raising the tone of opera house per-
formances should be in the opera
house tonight to hear the Musin com
pany, the finest artists that have
taken the boards in this city for a
musical performance.

TIE Galveston News, commenting
on some statements of THE LIGHT,
says, the republican party has been
disappointed in negro suffrage, north
and south" The democratic party
have bHilt many air castles upon the
baseless fabric of their dreams of re-
publican intentions. The republican
party has asked nothing for the color
ed voter, save his rights; nothing from
him at all. The only political Inter-
est that the republican party has in
the cOlored citizen, is to see that the
position he occupies as a citizen
through the work of the republican
party is not made more burdensome
to him than the old slave condition to
which he was doomed before the war.
The republican party cannot absOlvs
itself from the responsibility which it
assumed when it put a ballot into the
colored mans hand and gave him
full citizenship. The Parry is morally
pledged to confirm title to that citizen
snip. All the republican party ex-
pected in giving the ballot to the col
Ored man, was that that ballot would
be the colored mans protection. In
that expectation, the News says, the
republican party is disappointed.
This may be true, but it is no credit
to the south that it is so. Having ac-
cepted place in the Union, with ne
gro suffrage as condition, the sonth
has not been honest in depriving the
colOred voter of his ballot.

A Rare Treat.

Miss Matte Chandler, graduate

will give a reading in the Opera

She will be assisted by good anna

is in store for all who attend. The
following, copied from a Misslssip-
pi paper, will show what may be
expected;
It was an evening OF surprise, for surprise il
was to those in attendance that Corinth pos
sessed such elOcutionary talent as that dis
played by Miss Matte Chandler. Since heI
last appearance before a home audience, Miss
Chandler has made such wonderful progress in
this line rs TO make comparison between then
and now almost impossible. She has an excel

perfect gestures. distinct enunciation. and
what is still better, appropriate selections and
a clear and proper conception OF the same

Grady on the Force Bill.

The Republican press of the North
seem to be very fond OF quoting the
lamented Grady. Apropos the pas
sage by the House Of the force bill, we
submit the following extract from his
Boston speech
The negro vote can never control
in the South, and it would be we'll II
the partisans in the North would I'M
derstand it. 4 You may
pass force bills, but they will not avail.
You may surrender your own liber-
ties to Federal election law you may
deliver your election machinery into
the hands OF the government, but
never will single State of the Union
be delivered again to the control OF
an ignorant and inferior race. We
wrested our State government from
negro supremacy when the Federal
drum. beat rolled closer to the ballot
box, and Federal bayonets hedged it
deeper about than will ever again be
permitted in this free government,
But though the cannon of this Repub-
lie Numbered in every voting district
of the South, we still should find in
the mercy OF God the means and the
courage to prevent its re-establish'
ment.

PITTsBURG, July 9.--The Leader

announce that Stephenson Archer,
late treasurer OF the State of Maryland,

hundred and thirty odd thousand
dollars from the funds under his con-
troll, has been convicted and sentence
to five years in the penitentiary. With
the embezzling treasurer OF her sister

cell, how must Pennsylvania blush
when she reflects that one of her ex.
treasurers is accused, without denial
OF stealing OF her funds double the
amount, and, instead OF being in the
penitentiary or having proved the
charges unfounded, is at the head oil
the Republican party Of the nation,
has the effrontry to say to her, Here
is my candidate for the highest exec.
utive office in your gift. Make Del.
amater Governor or suffer my dsspleas-

He is trusted and loved adviser Of
of our pious nonentity, Benjamin
Harrison, and still more of our pious

which go to make up a list of thirty
eight business houses that any city

thirty'eight storerooms, all OF the

ONLY A VILLAGE IN 1880,
BUT NOW A THRIVING
TOWN.
NO PLACE IN The SOUTH HAS GROWN
50 RAPIDLY.
II Has OutStripped all Competitors and
Will Stand in the Ranks as the
SEVENTH CITY IN THE STATE.

Johnson City is no longer a village
even in the minds of those who are so
blind that they will not see.
The census is completed, and tour
thousand, one hundred and sixty-nine
people are now living where, ten years
ago, only six hundred and eighty-fve
lived.
1t is indeed wonderful growth, and
the most conservative citizens were
surprised at the figures, as they had
claimed only about three thousand
and five hundred. Properly speaking,
the increase OF Johnson City's popula.
ton in the last two years has been
more than doubled and nearly trebled,
as the census which was taken by the
city in 1888 will show, when there
were to be found within the corporate
limits only sixteen hundred people.
But reckoning from 1880, when the
tenth census OF the United States was
taken, the increase has been six hun
bred and seven per cent, and this
gives us abundant reason to feel proud,
for there is not town in the South
10 stand side by side with ours in its
career Of growth, progressiveness and
general prosperity.
johnson City has grown from the
forty-sixth to the seventh largest city
in the State, and from the smallest to
the largest in East tennessee, except
ing Knoxville and Chattanooga.
Meanwhile, let the next census come
on, and the seventh position will know
us M more forever.

WILL HAVE SCHOOLS.
A Fifteen Thousand Dollar Building
to be Erected by the Citizens.

Since the board has decided to post
pone the election on school bonds in.
definitely, it has become necessary for
the citizens to get together and make
some arrangements to erect building,
that the children OF Johnson City may
not be entirely without school advan-
tages. The town has grown so rapidly
that the present buildings are totally
inadequate to the demands.
THE COMET has never seen the peo.
pie Of Johnson City called on in vain
to support any laudable enterprise,
and when they were asked to build a
school house which would be credit
to the town they responded promptly
and literally. 1t was no surprise, but
a source of qualification, and we are
proud OF our people. The building
will be located in the Carnegie Addi-
ton, perhaps in Block No. 70, and will
cost not less than $4,000.
Any person living out of the city de-
string to help good cause can notify
THE COMET of the amount they would
like to subscribe, and their names will

agents are circulating a report that
we have no factory and can not fur
nish any parts Of machines when
required, and that the machines are
old ones that we have purchased
and when these are gone, we can
not get any more. This is a lie
from beginning to end, without a
single thread of truth to found such
a statement upon, and the men who
make such statements know they
are lies. We have a very large
factory in Williamsport, Pa, front
of factory 500 feet,) In fact, we
probably have larger and finer

other Company in this country, cx.

The machines are made in toto in

nothing from the New York Co.
nor is this machine the same as the
