As between the "old gang" which the
democratic press loves to dub the Powell
Clayton crowd, and the new gang"
which we take pleasure in clubbing the
present political wire pullers of the demo-
cratic party in this state, we are between
the devil and the deep blue sea, with a
strong inclination to cut and run from
both.-Economist. You will probably
feel more like cutting loose and running

TRAVELLER RETURNED

Hope Gazette.l
J. r. Tolbert, editor of the
CIarksvllle Economist, and one Of the
leaders of the union labor movement
in Johnson county two years ago,
has renewed allegiance to the demo-
cratic party and thus gives his reas'
ons for so doing;
GAS the heart of the traveller, re-
turning from a voyage at sea, swells
up with gratitude as he approaches
the old homestead, so we can but re-
ioice as we are ensconced in the
mansion that cradled our infancy
and gave tltelage to our after years,
Unlike the traveller, however, our
wandcrings have not been distant;
not farther at most, than the grassy
lawn in front Of the main building;
and now later, in the perilous times,
when it is difficult to tell whether we
have a constitution and country or
not, we could not tolerate that dis
tance, and are at a loss to perceive
how any American citizen, even a
republican, can remain contented
farther than a stones throw from
the democratic party
Having tried flank movements
and made attacks from points other
than those Indicated on the regular
democratic line, we are now thor
oughly convinced that here, on that
line of victory must be achieved,
here good government and liberty,
if ever, must be maintained and per-
petuated. On it we propose to
stand, with the best party this gov
ernment has ever known, and the
only party of to-day that is battling
for equality, good government and
the rights of the people,
When we compare the shameless,
reckless administration Of Harrison
to that of Cleveland, or the noisy
reign of Clayton in our own state
with the democratic rule that suc-
ceeded it, man with no eyes at all
can see which party is upholdng the
government of Washington and
Jefferson, and which is striving fol
the spolls, These parties with feel
ngs, instincts and principles as wide
ly spread as Dives and Lazarus, are
arrayed against each other. Stand
ing under the colors oil the former,
that float over the dearest and only
relics of American liberty, we shall
shun no part of the contest, whether
it appears in defensive or an ag>
gressive character.

Four Persons Perish in a Tenement House

CINCINNATI, July 22.-Four people were
burned TO death and several seriously in

night. The four-story building at A Front

upper floors as tenement house, was
discovered on fire at Ii o'clock. An
alarm was turned in, and before the Fire
Department arrived several policemen did
good work in getting the unfortunate in
mates out of the building. AS soon as the
iremen arrived the work was vigorously
prosecuted, but when the flames were ex-
tinguished it was found that Solo

two young children were dead, and

have started. The people on the third and

An Unprecedented Price Quoted

Heavy Speculation Due to the Passage Of

Mint Director LeeGh Gives His Views on the

WASHINGTON, July 22.-"The price, 50A
pence per ounce, which was quoted in Lon
don yesterday for bar silver, while un-
precedented, perhaps" said Director of the
Mint Leech this afternoon, sis largely due
to the speculation in silver. Of course the
primary cause is due to the Silver Bill. You
will observe, if you have watched the
stock market, that silver is doing
some very lively upward sprinting in the
United States just at present, although
to-day it has dropped point. Certain per.
sons in New York have for some time been
engaged in getting a corner on silver, pend
ing the passage of the Silver Bill. In New
York City the Western National Bank
alone has stored away in its vaults about
100000 ounces, while upward Of 1000, 600
ounces are in the hands of others in that
city.

next, and until that date arrives and for

to rate with anything like accuracy what
will be the market price for sill

STOP SHIPPING ARMS.

An Order Issued by President Houston

cradle cOnsignments Of arms and ammuni-
tion to the Central American States-Guate-
mala, San Salvador Honduras, Nicaragua
and Costa Rica. These shipments will now
cease, anyhow as far as the first three
named States are concerned.
The recent reports Of the trouble among
the States caused by the desire of Presi-
dent Barillas of Guatemala and others to
effect confederation has evidently
alarmed the representatives of those Gov

they have taken is not yet known, but yes
terday afternoon W. r. A. Johnson, agent
of the Pacific Mail Steamship Company,
received the following dispatch from Pres-
dent Houston of the company:
Stop shipping arms and munitions OF war to
Guatemala, Salvador and Honduras.
1t is learned that a considerable quantity
OF arms and munitions of war had been
ordered from local dealers to 90 on the San
Bias, which sails tomorrow. This telegram
from President Houston will have the
effect OF countermanding these orders, and
the fighting men of the States mentioned
will have to get their supplies elsewhere.

Decision Affirmed.

WASHINGTON, July 22.-On May a, 1856,
John j. Knight made a homestead entry to
tho north half of the northwest quarter
and the west half of the northeast quarter
of Section 90 Township 81 south, Range
II east, NJ. d. NJ, San Francisco. Two
days later, on May Goth, Palmer made
application to enter as a homestead the
northeast quarter of the northwest quarter
of the west half of the north
west quarter and the northwest quarter
of the southeast quarter in the same sec
tion, thus bringing on a conflict with
Knight. The land officials rejected Palmer's
application because Knight was first in
point of time. Palmer filed an affidavit
that he was the first settler. but on Decem-
Der IL, 1856, the Registrar and Receiver re-
jected his application. He appealed to the
Land Commissioner and his application
was again rejected. He then applied to
Assistant SecI etary of the Interior Cnand-
Ter, who to-day affirmed the previous de-
cisions.

a total of 10000 horsepower, force that
should be quite equal to the task Of driving
such keen-lined ship as this is to be through
the water at the almost abnormal rate
that is expected of her. The arrangement
of the screws has been about decided upon.
The central one will have the greatest
depth, and, though a foot smaller in d.
ameter, will probably be the most effective
of the three. 1t will be about fifteen feet
further aft than the other two, which
are to rise a tfhe from the horizontal

will also diyerge as they leave the hull
giving additional room for the uninterrupt-
ed motion of all three at the same time.

divergence of these forward screws will
carry them about twenty-three feet apart,
