Mr.. EDITOR: The above named
individual is creating more trouble.
Without taking into account his
stealings and store-breakings, he is
indirectly the cause of having ar
rested men on whom no suspicion
rests, and it is freely said that pre-
judice and spite arc prominent ele-
ments in said arrests.
We earnestly desire Bills cap
ture, but hope that in obtaining
that end injustice may not be done.
The innocent should not be allow
ed to suffer detention for say, one
week to eight days for what? moth
ing. A charge of deserving a ship two
years ago is very slim one when
we consider the grave issues ln-
augurated by civilian" A man
by law is entitled to o bearing
twenty-four hours after arrest.

Nicaragua Canal.
From Cur San Francisco Correspondent

From Our San Francisco Correspondent
Louis Sloss reports that subscrip-
tons to the canal stock in San
Francisco are coming in slow y.
There is much reluctance on the
part Of the merchants of San Fran
cisco to subscribe, chiefly, it is be-
lieved, for fear they will incur the
displeasure of the Southern Pacific
by SO doing. The Southern Pacific
has held them by the throttle SO
long that they are afraid to mako
any radical movement which might
displease the railroad magnatcs.
Warner Miller has 500 men at
work at present on tho canal. At
present Mr.. Miller is in London,
but he denies that he has made any
attempt to place the stock there.
He says that no snch effort will be
made, as he is satisfied that Amerl-
cans will build the canal.

THE FUNCTIONS OF GOVERNMENT.

What arc tho functions of the
power we set up called the govern
ment2 When we are all competent
to promptly answer that question
the pathway to intelligent voting
will be clearer to the majority of
US than 1t now is. Roger Q, Mills,
who has as good q right as any
body to dcfno the principles of his
party, told an audience ut Staten
Island last week that the creed of
Democracy was less government
rather than moro, and non-inter-
vention of government along the
whole line OF industry. To pater-
nallsm and socialism bis party was
opposed. Government" be said,
must stop ut the boundary of
natural right and secure that
against every invasion, and then
leave every man to fight out the
battle of ilfe in his own way" THIS
Is the antipodo of the Platonian or
socialistic theory of the func-
tions of the state. 1t is
the Jeffersonian idea. Holding
to this principle, Mr.. Mills
is, of course. u free trader; for by
tariffs government interferes with
the alleged "natural right" of men
to exchange the work of their hands
wherever and 10 whomsoever they
wish. He is opposed to eight hour
legislation; for chow long q man
shall work and ut what business
are questions for his own determln-
alton. If government has the right
to prescribe eight hours it has the
right to prescribe twenty-four." 1t
has neither. Government, he con-
tends, has no right to tax one kind
of butter to help another, nor to
buy grain for those whose crops
have failed, nor to give general
taxes to county fairs, nor to lend
people money to help them live.
All this, no doubt, tends to very
greatly simplify the functions of
governing, but whether il indicates
Il policy equal to the needs of a
new and growing country is an.
other thing. Such discussions of
first principles arc, however, calcu-
lated to upllft politics,-[S. F. News

THAT IOI SVSI y-AiIOOA q ~
stuff, England sends us the
best. A good deal Of it is too
thick for use in private falnll
les, but some Of it is made OF
medium thickness and is ser
vicable. By the =" Anna John
SON. which arrived the other
day we got a lot Of this quail
ity, and it has turned out
cheaper and better than we
expected. The plates and
saucers are all regular-not a
misht in the whole bunch.
We've never handled toilet
sets, but there has been such
a demand that we included
some in an English order.
The ewers are all latest shapes
and nicely decorated; not gold
and silver, you know, but just
a neat bunch of flowers here
and there on a prettily tinted
ground, a cluster Of roses here
and sprig Of something else
there. The sets will improve
the appearance Of any bed
room and you won't be extra
VACANT either. We give them
away-for a song. Come in
and sing to us.
Understand we make a spe-
cialty of Havlland China be-
cause it is the finest and be-
cause there are certain capital
features about it that other
decorated ware does not pos
sess. You can duplicate any
piece broken. You can't do
that with any other decorated
ware but, some people want
full sets for same certain meal.
They've called for them and
we had to order them; not
special orders, but just so as
to have them in case someone
else should call. We haven't
many, but what we have are
beauties. One set has a white
ground with a tiny blue forget
me-not in a sort Of lei around
the top of the cups, and on
the edge is a gold band and
the same on the other pieces.
The effect is certainly very
pretty. The cups, by the way,
are not Of the conventional
pattern, but are decidedly odd
in shape.
We have another set Of an
indescribable color. Odd
enough for anyone.
They're pretty to look at
even if you don't want to buy
them the door is open, step
in and see them.
We've called your attention
several times to an adjustable
thy Or mosquito screen !;
they're a good thing and you
want one. If you prefer some
thing not adjustable we have
a fl frame made especially. 1t is
adjustable to a certain size,
then you tack it together and
put on your wire cloth. The
frame is neat and strong and
very, very cheap.
We've imported some very
handsome brass chandeliers
and electroliers with colored
shades. This week we will
have a large invoice of lamps,
some of which may suit your
fancy.
If you're thinking about
your house we have
paints of every imaginable
color-from elephants breath
to Mozambique blue. Oils,
varnishes and brushes 90 with
them, and if you are a little
DIT handy you can do some
painting yourself. A few dol
lars go a long wav in naintc a.

says members opposition to
the treasury does not dis

organization, and yet he advises that
no man opposed to it be allowed to

opinions and is it not calculated to
create a division and a split in the

only reliable policy, for such an or

High Prices for Corn.

The livery stable men say that
corn is scarcer now than they have
known for several years. Ordinarily
the corn needed from country
wagons at about $500 per bar
rel. 1t is hard to get now, how
ever, at any price. There We're
three wagon loads sold yesterday on
the streets at 81 50 per barrel. 1t was
good corn and, like good tobacco,
it brought fancy price. There is
good reason to believe that corn will
go to $500 per barrel before the mid
die of June. The continued rains
are preventing the farmers from
planting full crop, and what has
been already planted is not doing
much, The man who has a crib full
of corn, to use a slang phrase, is Ger.
tainly in it.

WHAT PEOPLE TALK ABOUT.

j. G. Hester, of Nashville, has
been in the city for day or two beg
ging money to have an invention
patented. This invention is a deaf
mute's continuance for speaking and
hearing intelligibly. The Banner
says he has been in Nashville for the
past two years, and that he was, be-
You'd doubt, three years ago a deaf
mute. He wears pinned to the lap
pei of his coat silver plated shield.
This has two miniature poles to
which are fastened two wires; one
end of each of these is attached to a
small battery which he carries in his
pocket. To the other ends is at
tached a rubber air-tube with
transmitter at one end and an ear
phone at the other. BY this
arrangement he is enabled to
hear, or if not to hear, he gains the
same results. This instrument acts
on the same principle as the denti-
phone, used deaf mute institutions,
which is held between the teeth,
and vibrations of sound reach the
brain through the medium of the
teeth without the sense of hearing
being called into requisition.
Chester says it took him two
years to master the invention, and
that by a mere accident he learned to
talk. The hearing part of it came
about all right, but his voice now
puts one in mind of Punch and
Judy performance. 1t is better than
no voice at all, however, and can be
understood fairly well. Without the
use of the instrument Chester claims
that he can neither hear nor speak
1t is either one Of the greatest inven-
tiOns of the age or it is the most
colossal sWindling scheme on record.
The majority of people who have ex
amined it look upon it as a great
humhug, and as a scheme to work on
the sympathy of the public, whereby
money is dumped into the pockets
of the inventor.

A Very Grave Mistake.

Brother Mcdowell says in the
ToiIer, that there is movement on
foot in this and other States to break
down the leaders of the Alliance II
that be true it will be a good thing
for the Alliance if some of them are
broken down before they sell out the
whole organization to the Republi-
can party, for which the program is
now working beautifully, and ii
don't seem to occur to him that he is
helping the move all he can to bring
the organization into a state of excited
prejudice, a condition where the sale
can be made by the organization OF a
third party or the whole thing
busted up. We should greatly deplore
either result and don't believe that
there is Democratic paper in all the
South or West that would not share
the same result. TO be sure it can't
be said that the Democratic press of
Tennessee mltercd in its support Of
the Alliance candidates in the last
campaign and they never will as
long as the Alliance puts forward
capable, honest, sensible men as
leaders ON sound principles not AN
tagonistic to the constitution and
Democratic government. 1t is re
membered too that the Alliance had
the good sense to drop the Macunc
sub-treasury heresy, and did not at
tempt to bring ii into the convention
or the campaign. If they had, then
every one knows that there would
have been a division, and split, re-
sulting in the election of the Repub
lican ticket, leaving the Alliance en-
tirely out. Now he is diligently
working his pile driver to force the
obnoxious measure down every
members throat preparatory for
Macune's third party move. Don't

ing, patriotic men o; Tennessee can't
