Finance and Tennessee Relieving the
Stringency.

Finance and Tennessee Relieving the
Stringency
The OnO-metalists, who are per
suaded in their own minds that Mr.
Cleveland carries all the brains of
the Democratic party in his massive
Uranium, by way of enforcing their
gold standard arguments, note the
generous policy of France, which,
though overwhelmed with an old
war debt, rushed to the relief of the
Barring Bros, in London, with two
hundred million dollars of gold, Just
at the time the world was trembling
on the verge Of great panic, and
restored confidence, setting the tinan
cial machinery all going smoothly
again,
Perhaps it has never occurred to
these financial luminaries that it was
the boarding Of so much gold as the
only basis for currency, by few
great banking houses, that caused the
general panic. However the argu-
ment reminds us of the way finances
were managed in this State under
the old Tennessee banking system.
Every bank or branch was required
by law to show up certain amount
of silver when the bank examiner
called around. We had no railroad
then; fast travelling was by stage,
steamboat and horseback. There
were just two shot bags full of silver
in the state, and the banks kept a
watch on the examiner. They always
discovered his starting point and
the silver was safe to be found in the
first hank examined. After the eX-
aminer would get through with his
work the silver was put into a pan OF
saddle bags and trusty man mounted

a fast horse and beat the examiner
to the next town. In this way the
banks made a good showing, and we
had the soundest banks in the world,
and the old State banks, based on the
credit given them by the people,
would no doubt have been good till
yet but for their destruction by the
war. And this is the way two or
three banks saved the Barring Bros,
and later London saved Wall street,
and Wall street saved the country,
and the cOuntry.saved the devil.

The Columbia Herald refers to
Gen. Palmer as the "Joshua of De-
m0cracy,' which reminds us that
Democracy lately had Moses, but
because he went forth in his own
might, power and courage, lifting up
his hand and with his pen smote the
rock of the Plutocrats, instead Of
speaking to sanctify Democracy, he
will not be allowed to bring the con-
gregaticn into the land of free silver,
milk and honey. He may mount
Pisgah's heights in the plains Of
Wall street, on the mountain of Mo-
ab that is over against Jericho and

Thousands Poisoned.

In recent work on Heart Diseases
DR.. Franklin Miles, the noted special
ist, gives many new and startling facts.
Thousands of people are slowly poi
soning themselves, weakening their
hearts by the use of tea, coffee tobac-
90 and alchohol These are h art
whips, causing it to beat rapidly, thus
gradually wearing it out, producing
shortness of breath when exercising,
pains in side and shoulder, hungry
and faint spells. Finally heart failure
and sudden death. For weakened and
irritated hearts the press everywhere
highly recommend the New Heart
Cure discovered by DIR. Franklin
Miles, which is for sale at Owen d

SHORT STOPS.
What the People are Saying

| " HAT Tic FcOPit are Saying.
The most important part of the
work of the citizens charter commit
tee consiste d in the killing the pro.
posed amendments validating sever
| al issues of bogus bonds now in circu-
lation. The city administration tried
to fix them upon the people as valid
debts, but the Legislature refused to
| interfere.
The holders of these bogus bonds
have long since no doubt unloaded
them in New York upon parties who
do not know the difference. but little
by little the eyes of the present hold
ers will be opened.
When it came to amending the city
charter the city officials who began to
realize the fact that this is the last
term for Mr.. Callaghan, made q grab
for more salary. The grab was not
completely successful. Some adj
vances were made but the citizens
charter committee did not combat the
increase as made.
Under amended section As of the
city charter, the city's bonded debt
may never exceed eight per cent of
the total assessed value of the proper.
ty. With q total assessment of
twenty-seven million, would yet
leave us margin of nearly one mil
lion after deducting the present bond
ed debt, provided the taxpayers vote
it. There is no danger OF such an &C.
ton however, as the tax paying class
suffer most under the present admin
istraIion and would not vote q dollar.
The administration realizes this and
dare not submit q proposition to
be voted down.
Mayor Callaghan's destination in
France is some 20 miles from Paris,
but no doubt his honor will spend
some of his vacation in the gay CAPT.
toll of the world.
In accordance with the new city
charter amendments, the city must
issue complete report of all its finan.
cial transactions on the last of this
month. Mayo or Schreiner will, no
and not wait Mr.. Callaghan's return.
The return of Judge Devine re-
lieves Mayor Schreiner from the dis
agreeable task OF the police court. 1t
is quite enough for Mr.. Schreiner to
to look after Mayor Callaghan's job.
The question Of his pay as acting
mayor is deferred until the return of
Mayor Callsghan.
The discussion of the Supreme
court affirming the Sallie Royal
damage suit against the city receives
the attention of all our citizens to the
fact that this administration has been
the most reckless and foolish admin
istion our city has ever known as to
litigation.
Sallie Royal was treated very
shamefully by Mr.. CalIag hans under.
strappers, and she was finally forcibly
thrown out of the market house; TIL
city confiscating her furniture. The
court gave her a Judgement tor $500
damages besides al order to restore
her property; the supreme court has
affirmed this verdict, and now the
city has big bill to pay because of
this i'll treatment of woman by the
city officials, the mayor, city council,
market master, etc.
If this judgement fell on the parties
guilty of the damage, it would be all
right but 1t falls on our taxpayers.
what does Mayor Callaghan care; he
has given Sallie Royal plenty of
trouble and 1t has not cost him any,
thing.
