the facts say there will be no effort to get
an indictment against Wynne. If no COM

get the money, there will be no criminal
charge preferred, and of course this means
that Wynue is not guilty Of any criminaliJy
in his defalcation, or that to make such
charge would involve others who do not care
to have that kind of an investigation made.

THE EXTRA SESSION.

GOVERNOR BUCHANAN, in his
proclamation calling the General
Assembly together in extra session
has cut out good deal more work
for that august body than it is likely
to accomplish in the short time of
twenty days to which the members
are limited in per diem by the consti-
tuition. The two Sundays to inter-
vene, which our solons always count,
and for which they claim and re-
ceive the stipulated four dollars per
day, will limit the real working
time of the session to eighteen days.
In this short space of time the
General Assembly is.Ecalled upon,
l. To amend or circumvent the
constitution so as to allow the Cover
nor to call out the militia on such oc.
casions as the late troubles at Brice-
vile.
2. ITO enact, amend or repeal such
laws with reference to the peniten>
tiary of the State, as shall be deemed
promotive of the public good, as the
leasing, working and safe-keeping of
the convicts; the removal, rebuilding
and enlargement of the State prison,
the consideration of measures that
reduce the contact and competition of
convict with free labor to the mini
mum and conduce at the same time
to the humane treatment of the con-
victs, and also, the policy of increas-
ing and defining more fully the pow
ers of prison inspectors"
We quote the exact language OF
the proclamation on this item of the
call.
3. To amend the criminal laws of
the state to the extent almost of a
revision Of the entire code, if made
to conform to such legislation as the
second item calls for.
4. To correct a blunder in the cleo
ton laws.
5. 10 redistrict the State as requir.
ed by the constitution.
! 6. To correct another blunder OF
the regular session by putting Sc.
quatchie county into some Congress
sional District.
I. To correct some more blunders
s. Ditto.
8. To consider the matter of an ap
/, preparation for an exhibit at the
Worlds Fair.

PREACHING DEMOCRACY NOW

The Nashville American has got
its war paint on, and realizing that it
has a whole years time to make up,
is pounding the Alliance with saw
age vengeance. The State Alliance
has been in session at Nashville this
week, and on Wednesday adopted
resolutions of fulsome euology upon
President Mcdowell, land eXconiating
"some Of the political press, particu-
larly the American and Herald of
Nashville, and the News of Chatta-
nooga" for the eXposethey have made
of Mcdowell. The American pays its
respect to the order by reitterating all
of its charges against Mcdowell, and
dares him or any of his friends fol
him TO take the matter into the
courts, offering to make his cost
bond for him and to secure a fee fol
his lawyer, payable on the day hi
gets a judgment. Continuing on the
Southern standard. (McMinnville, Tenn.) 1879-current, 1891-08-15

same editorial, the American pours
the following broadside into the AL
llahce organization on general prin
ciples:
"The Alliance has been false to its
own constitution. 1t has become to
all intents and purposes a separate
political party. 1t is, under its pres
ent corrupt leadership menance to
the Democratic party and utterly
subversive of every sound principle
of government. We believe that Sc
cret political societies are unnecessa-
ny in free country where freedom
of speech is accorded to every man,
and that they are in their nature an
tagonistic to free institutions. We
believe that the Democratic party is
the only hope of the country, and we
believe that the Alliance is in arms
against the Democratic party.
"We believe in the principle of
equal rights to all and exclusive
privileges to none, and we believe
that the Alliance as at present led
and constituted is political organi-
cation inspired by false and dema-
gogue leaders with a spirit of hate
and hostility to all other classes and
interests. We believe that an organ
ization, exclusive in membership and
secret in methods, which binds the
political thought and opinions of its
members by action Of the majority,
which teaches that Democrat must
yield his convictions outvoted in a
convention in which Republicans,
Greenbackers, Prohibitionists and all
other anti-Democrats freely partici-
pate, and after having other peoples
opinions thus forced upon him must
help to force them on the Democratic
party or be punished for treason"
we believe that such an organizaon,
controlled by such men and such
methods, is to all intents and pur-
poses a political party, which can
never accomplish anything except to
bring Offices to demagogues and dis
aster to the country.
"The issue is joined and the battle
is on. The Alliance leaders may as
we'll understand it now, that if a Sc.
cret, oath-bound, one-class political
party captures the next Democratic
convention they will realize that they
have had a fight when they take the
prize"
The last paragraph quoted above il
nothing short of tacit acknowledge
ment on the part of the American
that this "secret, oath-bound, one
class political party" did capture tn,
last Democratic convention. TIL
STANDARD has been censured for re
peatedly making the same charge
and we are glad to see that the scale
have fallen from the eyes of 18th
leading Democratic organ" of tn
state.

10. To pass laws for the encourage
ment and benefit of the State militia.
IL. To amend the revenue and
assessment laws to meet such increase
of expenditures or decrease of reve-
nues as may result from legislation of
the extra session with regard to the
penitentiary or other questions.
-. ITO make all necessary appro-
priations to defray the expenses of
the militia in the late trouble at
Briceville and Coal Creek, and of this
extraordinary session of the General
Assembly, and for other necessary
purposes"
Whatever the Legislature may do,
or may fail to do, one thing can be
depended upon-the appropriation to
defray the expenses Of the extra ses-
sion will be made. This is the only
thing that can be counted on with
any degree of certainty.
The fourth to eighth items, inclu-
sive, of the call can be easily and
quickly disposed of provided every
thing works tremendously, and pro-
vided further that the Republican
members introduce no dilatory or
obstructive tactics, which they are
quite apt to do on the redistricting
measure. The Democratic members
ought to be led out behind the capt.
tai some moonlight night and kicked
for not redistricting the State at the
regular session.
The penitentiary question of itself,
with such legislation as any change
in the present policy of the State will
render absolutely necessary, would
make more work than the Legisla>
ture could get through with in an
extra session. We believe that the
most the extra session can do with
the penitentiary matter will be
merely to take the initiative steps, to
suggest measures of reform which
can be discussed and digested by the
people for the next twelve or fifteen
months, and acted upon by the next
General Assembly.
AS to an appropriation for a
Worlds Fair exhibit, we believe its
chances hang by a very slender
thread at the hands of this Legisla-
ture.

American Farmers Masters Of the Sit
uation.

LONDON, August 12.-The Daily
News this morning, commenting on
the action of Russia in prohibiting
the export of rye, says that it is reas-
surfing to learn that the crops in the
United States promise to give an ex-
ceptionally large harvest. The far
mers of America, the paper declares,
are masters of the situation and it is
hoped that they will use theil
strength mercifully. The making Of
"corners" in the necessaries of life is
never laudible, and in the present
juncture it would be little short O
fiendish.

The Democratic Rooster.

Every Democratic newspaper has
on hand a cut of "a rooster" in the
act of growing. This is invariably
printed at the head of column an
nouncing party victory. The Gus
tom originated in Indiana in 1912, ca
cording to political kmericanisms."
There were doubts as to the result OF
the local election, The editor of the
indianapolis Sentinel, Chapman by
name, was accused of premature
growing by the rival Wing sheet, tina
expression "Crow Chapman, Crow"
being used as headline. Returns
showed that the alleged growing was
justified, and Mr.. Chapman, in his
next. issue, printed for the first time
the emblem that has become so pop
ular-an evidently victorious rooster
with the legend eve Crow" printed
underneath. There are other versions
of the ROSTERS birth, but the fore
going appears upon the whole the
most trustworthy.
