We will answer, Judge kirkpatrick

the best lawyers in East Tennessee,
and probably without peer in upper
Tennessee in the legal profession.
Outside of the field of the law that
he adorns he is gentleman of the

When Judge Deaderick was on the
Supreme bench and the law was
passed by the Legislature creating a
Court of reference, Judge kirkpatrick
was appointed as one of the Referee

There is no man in the State OF Ten

he be, he will be successful, and the

Relations on a Strain.

1t may be truly said that the rela-
tons between Blaine and Harrison are
on a point of open rupture. 1t is sad
that relations of this sort exist between
men who are rivals for the same Office
1t may be that Blaine is not in reality
candidate for the Presidency, but it
is equally certain that he is giving no
aid and encouragement to the Har-
rison movement for a second term.
But in the meantime the followers of
Harrison are doing their utmost en-
deavors to take all the keen edge off OF
every movement that is made for the
Man Of Maine.
The truth is that Harrison is not the
idol Of his party. He is a mere acciden-
cy. He is so and so because his grand
father was this and that. He is a mere
CIPHER and the glamour that surrounds
his name is simply because he is Presi-
dent of the United States. 1t is that
kind OF a glamour that surrounded
Hayes and made him the hero OF s to
/ 7. The glamour that fades with the
evenings purple twilight and is lost in
shadow and storm and cloud.
We hear today from the Harrison
journals that Blaine is in a "dishonor-
able position" that he has compro-
missed his political honor" that the
Mulligan letters are coming forth from
the tomb of buried regulations; and
tomorrow we will hear that Blaine is
a very sick man, that his wanderings
beside the sounding sea have had no re-
freshing effect upon him; and thai
even if he were dipped in the pool Of
Sloan, where the leprosy was cleansed
he could not be made we'll again.
Lying under the thin veil of this
concern for Blaine's welfare is the
deep design OF eliminating HIM as a
| Presidential quantity, of making the
people believe that he is incapable Of
assuming the cares OF State on ac
count of i'll health, so that the Harri-
son tribe can have a free walk over,
and doing this, that and the other that
Twill initiate against Blaine's nomina.
ton.
| The Harrison gang are in bad
way, and when they hear the news Of
Blaines nomination by the National
| Republican nominating convention,
they will discover that there is nothing
in being the grandson OF the grand
father.

One word with regard to the ore: 1t opened
better than we expected. 1t ismostly hematite;
but there are some brown ores. AS to the
quantity, well, so far as our experience goes,
and SO far as the development has gone, there
appears to be no reason for the present genera
ton troubling themselves on this point. Our
manager reports that the ores are well within
the Bessemer limits. Exclusive of the ores
which we shall require to burn in our own
furnace, we shall be able to sell surplus ore at
the rate of 100 tons to 200 tons a dav.-Hon H. H.
Bland, Director of the Embreville Freehold,
Land, Iron and Railway Company, at a recent
meeting of stockholders in London.

WHEN women get to burning up
their corsets no man has whalebone
enough to stay the proceedings.

I knew there were enormous deposits-a
great belt of iron ore-running from the north
east to the southwest across the Southern
States of America, But the only people l
knew in the iron trade were connected with
the Pittsburg district, and they always threw
cold water on the thing, had seen the anal
ysis of all that came from that district, and
was satisfied that it was as good as any they
were using in Pittsburg; but having seen the
analysis, I felt DESTROYS Of seeing the ore and
judging for myself. I am GLAD to say that the
analysis which have been constantly sent over
by our manager prove to my mind that We are
fortunate people in having a great mass of
ore which will make Bessemer pigs.-Director
Dalgleish, Of the Embreville Freehold, Land
Iron and Railway Company, at a recent meet
Ing of stockholders held in London.

There is another point, and that is as regards
the fuel. 1t is no use having good ore with
out you have good fuel. When we were out
there saw coke of excellent quality going by
our doors as it were: right through the State of
Tennessee to Alabama which is growing won
derfully in the manufacture of iron. If this
oke is taken past our doors we must be in a
better position as far as cheapness goes in pro-
ducing our pig iron there. Taken altogether
l think our position is first class.-Director
Dalsleish, of the Embreville Freehold, Land
ron and Railway Company, at a recent meet
ing of stockholders held in London.

Punching the Census.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Sept. 4.-Super-
intendent Porter, of the Census
Bureau, who is now giving his entire
attention to revising final census re-
ports, says that he expects to have the
first 500 pages Of the compendium Of
the eleventh census ready for the Pub
lie Printer on September Is. He has
received the last card punched con-
tanning population statistics, the num-
Der of which is 62,622,2 For the
past six months a large number of
clerks working night and day have
been engaged upon punching
machines, which, corresponding with
the enumerators' sheets, give all the
information required by law. Each
card will average seventeen holes, be-
ing the number of questions answered
by each person. The number of holes
punched far exceeds 1,250,OO0,O0O.
