1t seems that the complaint OF
money stringency, decline in trade,
and hard times generally is not con
fined alone to this country. England
is setting up a howl on the same
score. The British manufacturers,
however, are charging it all to the
Mckinley tariff, which has served to
decrease the exports to this country.
The high tariff naturally has a ten
dency to decrease foreign trade with
America, AS it also decreases Uncle
Sans revenue. But the real cause is
the gold standard policy of the ma
hobs, making gold the basis for cred
it, and contracting and expanding
the credit as may best suit their Oper-
ations. The shaking up of the fl
nancial system some months ago has
greatly contracted credit in England.
as in this country, and the bankers
have reached a point where they
can't 50 easily expand, though it may
be greatly to their interest to do so.

Viewing McDowell's course from his
purely selfish manner OF manipulat

Mrs, Jas, X. Polk.

The death of Mrs. Jas. *. Polk,
recorded Ivy special to the LEAF
CHRONICLE yesterday, removes from
the State one of its oldest and most
honored women. Being the widow
OF President Jas. X. Polk, and living
at Nashville long and useful life,
she was loved and honored by all
Tennesseans. Her memory will be
cherished by the patriotic people of
Tennessee, and the nation will honor
her name for the exalted position she
has held throughout her long and
useful life that was as quiet, as unOs-
tentatiOus and as gentle as had the
honor of being the first lady in the
land not been hers. How in contrast
with some who have since filled this
high position was her retiring
modesty that shrank from even the
appearance Of show, preferring rather
the love of her own people and the
quietude of that home that she had
helped to rear rather than the noisy
adulation of the world that would
have been given her had she not
shrank from II. What noble eX-
ample Of Southern womanh0od, and
how grand an ideal Cor the daughters

DROPPED DEAD.
Sudden Termination Of the Trial Of I
Prisoner Charged With Stealing.

Bob Keesee, an old negro about Go
years OF age, who was lodged in Jail
on the 9th of June, charged with
larceny, had his trial set for 8 o'clock
this morning. The sheriff brought
him out promptly at that hour, and
just as he reached the top step of the
stairway entering the court room, he
dropped dead, scarcely drawing a
breath after lie fell. DR.. NOrthing
ton was close at hand and gave him
instant attention, but it was no use,
the man was dead, and the doctor
pronounced it case Of heart failure.
The old darkey, he said, had been
seriously afflicted with hernia and
this brought on the trouble. The
prisoner was charged with stealing
bacon from Luke Allen in the Ninth
district Of this county. He had the
character of being man who would
steal anything he could get his hands
on, and robbed several parties in the
vicinity. He carried boy with him
on all occasions to do the work while
he laid the plans. The citizens were
so much annoyed by his petty
thievery that they determined to get
rid of him, and therefore he was in
dicted, and the witnesses were all
here to give in their testimony to
day. Death came at a favorable
time and his case was transferred to
Il higher court.
Keesee started up the steps in g
good humor, laughing and talking
to the sheriff. S. o. w. Brandon
met them on the top step and en-
quired of Sheriff Station what Keesee
had been eating? "Meat," was the
reply, Unc'e Bob quickly resented
the insinuation, replying that he did
not steal it, and the next instant he
was a dead man.

now Senator German is going to be

event likely to transpire that will

Fight On a Steamboat.

Lee Trasker, colored, was dis
charged from work on the steamer /.
L. Rhea this morning and came to
town and loaded up with whisky,
He went back to the boat, which
was lying at the wharf, and raised a
row with the deck hands. A fight
ensued and Trasker was struck on
tht head with a lump of coal, cutting
an ugly cash, from which blood
flowed freely. He came to time,
however and began n general war ON
everything he saw, until he ran
across the captain of the boat, who
armed with an axe, ran the belliger.
ent negro off. A warrant was sworn
out for Trasker and put in the hands
of the officers and they are on the
hunt for him.

ship are opposed to the sub treasury
scheme. And with all of McDowell's
fine scheming there was a respectable
minority present, who had the
courage to OPP ose the ruinous ac-
ton, and they are the class of
members referred to in Mr.. Me-
Dowell's message as "weak and
waning brethren, drones, idlers,
traitors and turncoats." 1t would
have been better for Mcdowell, as it
would have been infinitely better for
the Alliance, il no effort had been
made to amend the constitution, and
he might have retired with the good
will and sympathy of all. If his
character was unjustly assailed he
should have sued the American for
libel, and the maintenance of the
suit would have given him stronger
hold on the Alliance people.

The whereas in the State Alliance
resolutions condemning the political
press for the exposure of McDowell's
record, and charging the exposure as
an attack through him on the Alliance,
sounds very much like the man who
voted for it considered Mcdowell the
Alliance and that they were bound
to uphold and defend him, in order
to sustain the Alliance and prevent
its disintegration and destruction. II
the organization depends on any one
man for life and existence, and espe-
cialiy q man whose motives and rec.
ord are not above suspicion, then it
is not worth preserving.

then reelected him president. The
action, however, was not so unani-

Sixty delegates voted against the

years ago, in harvest time, a young
man came in my store and said he
had been binding wheat during the
forenoon, and was so bad with diar-
rhpa and collie pains, that he would
have to lay off unless he could get re-
lief. took bottle of your diarrhna
remedy from the shelf; gave him a
dose sold him the bottle, and told
him / would give him the money back
if IL did no good. He came in next
morning and said the single dose did
its work so well, that he not only kept
up his place binding during the after
noon, but had worked all night; and
had the price of the dose | gave him
been three dollars, iG would have
been cheap. | will further say, keep
on with your good work. You cannot
recommend your medicine too highly.
Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and
DiarrhGa Remedy is one of the great
est medicines of the age; it cannot be
beat. Wishing you much success and
prosperity which you richly deserve,
