Presidential ouesswork.
Exchange,

The Press figures out the probable
Electoral vote of 1892 as follows: Re-
publican, 204; Democratic, 1869, doubt
full, II. Its doubtful States are-New
York, Sc; Michigan, IA; Indiana, Is;
Connecticut, 6.
New York has just elected the Dem
ocratic State ticket by $4,000 majority,
with bitter factional leud in the
Democratic ranks and the mugwumps
generally supporting the Republicans.
There is certainly little to expect for
the Republicans there. Michigan will
divide her Electoral vote. The Congress
sional districts are gerrymandered to
make 7 Democratic, and 5 Republican ;
il the Republicans carry the State and
the two Senatorial Electors, the vote
would be a tie to 7. Indiana gave
$4,000 Democratic majority at her last
State election in 1890, and Indianapo-
lis increased her Democratic majority
this year, and Connecticut hasn't
given Republican plurality for years.
Such are the States classed as doubt
full by the Press. These added to States
it comedies to the Democrat, would
give the Democratic candidate fol
President 240 Electoral votes, or II
more than a majority.
Now look at the doubtful States the
Press puts in the Republican column
Illinois "a votes are obviously doubt
full; so are Iowa's 10; so are Massa
chusets' Is and so are New Hamp
shire's 4 while Rhode Islands 4, Wis
consin's u and Montana's3 are almos
certain to be Democratic. The Demo
Gratis have carried Rhode Island a
every election since enlarged suffrage
they swept Wisconsin in 1890 by 36,
900, and they carried Montana by {
decided majority.
1t would be idle to say that the great
battle of 1892 is free from doubt as tc
the result, but there is no process o.
rational figuring at this time that car
give the Republicans majority of the
Electoral vote.--Philadelphia Times

Some unknown writer answers part

YES.
When the trees grow upside down,
When the beggal wears a crown;
When ice forms uTon the sun,
When the sparrows weigh ton;
When the women secrets keep,
When gold dollars gel too cheap;
When fish forget to swim,
When boys are not called jim;
When girls go hack on gum,
When the small boy hates to drum
When no politician schemes,
When mince pies make pleasant dreams;
When it's fun to break TOOTH
Wheu all lawyers tell the truth;
When the young people cease to We'd
When the hum an race is dead;
When the drummer has no brass
When those things come to pass.

The Roll Of Honor IN ann.


The Roll Of Honor In Full.
The fall Of lS49 was a period Of dark
ness and distress to the projectors and
friends OF the East Tennessee, and Vir-
ginia Railroad. Every effort had made,
.tseemed, to raise the amount Of sub
scriptions necessary to save the char
ter and secure the State aid. Look in
whatever direction the promoters of
the enterprise would, there were only
dismay and apparent failure. The
opposition was relentless and all the
resources appeared exhausted, East
Tennessee seemed doomed to be the
missing link in the great chain of COM
mercial enterprise to bind the South
and the East. The hands on the dial
plate, marking off the various stages
in the growth and development of this
section, stood still and destiny stepped
forward to turn them back for ages.
1t was the most trying period in the
history of East Tennessee. Her for
tunes were trembling in the balance
Not day, not an hour, was to be lost,
At this crisis thirty-three heroic, self
sacrificing, liberal hearted public
spirited men, who loved their country
and its interests more than their dol
lars, came to the rescue by imperilling
their earthly all. The plan of forming
a joint stock company was adopted on
the Goth day Of October, 1S49, and was
organized by electing Gen. A. E. Jack
son, President, assuming the name OF
East Tennessee Stock Company, au-
thorizing one of the number to sub
scribe the balance not to exceed five
hundred thousand dollars. On this
Roll of Honor Washington county

1t will be noted that twenty-three
members of this Joint Stock Compa-
ny belonged to Washington county,
and under pro rate they each assmed
a liability of over fifteen thousand
dollars, and altogether over three hun
dred and sixty thousand dollars, or
over two hundred and ten thousand
more than is asked of the county in
aid of the Louisville, Cumberland
Gap and Atlantic, and the Unaka and
Nolachucky railroads. 1t seems that
if these men could risk their all in Sc
curing the construction of the East
Tennessee system, when there could
be no appreciation OF the innumerable
advantages of a railroad, that the
whole population OF the county, that
know the value of railroad from &C
tual experience, should be willing to
risk, if there can be any risk in it, the
small pittance asked of them to aid in
building two more lines that will be
equal advantageous. When the whole
country is moving ahead with rapid
strides, and men are pouring out their
money like water to build grand in
dustrial enterprises, Washington coun
ty, the oldest in the State, should fall
into the line without hesitation or cav
il, and do herself proud in the way Of
general improvement.
We have rescued from the oblivion
of the years and put in an enduring
form the names OF those, who rescued
the East Tennessee system, that the
present generation may know what has
been done for them, and by whom it
has been done. 1t seems to us that
the spirits of the twenty-nine "who
have gone to their long homes" invoke
our people to take up the grand work
they so gloriously and heroically be-
gun. Could their tongues be loosened
from the grip OF death they would plead
with irresistible eloquence for the car
rying on of those projects without
which our country can not be develop
cd and brought up to that wonderful
degree of growth and expansion Of
