We fully concur in the statement made

had been such "a long while since the
earth was clad in so beautiful gar
ment.
Mrs, Emma Reynolds and Miss Ida
Hardison intended TO have gone to
Hillsboro Friday, but were Fsnowed''
into winter quarters. On their return
home Sunday after services at Corinth
they came near having a serious acct
dent. While going down the "Barker
hill' part of the harness broke, and had
the horse not been very gentle the re-
suit might have been disastrous indeed.
After wading through mud and water
some distance they arrived at Mr.. John
Atkisson's, who acted the part of the
"good Samaritan" and assisted them
on their way. This with other similar
cases shows that it is entirely unsafe
fer ladies to drive alone over our rough,
billy country roads.

The Cloture Rule Shelved.
In the Senate last Monday Mr..
Morgan, who had the floor and was
speaking against the Force bill and
CIoture resolution, yielded to Mr..
Wolcott to move to lay aside the
pending question and consider the
superintendent bill. The motion was
carried by a vote of 35 to "a, six Re-
publieans voting with the Demo
Gratis. These six Republicans were
Cameron AMI Jones Of Nevada
Stewart, Teller, Washburn and VOL
colt. The'Republicans at that time
claimed that il Senator Stanford, Of
California, was present, thu vote
would have been a tie aud the presid-
ing Off ,nr would have decided for the
rule; but since Chen Mr.. Stanford has
telegraphed 10 have himself paired
against the bill, and this, it is tho light
finally shelves the infamous scheme.
We hope it does aud that its promo
ters aud their party will die with it,.

appointment of DR.. d. G. Goodwin, of
Shelby, to the importmant office OF
Commissioner Of Agriculture. DIR.
Goodwin was born and raised near
Godwin's Station in this county, and

SENATOR CARLISLE makes some
interesting comparisons with figures
in the February Forum, between the
standing armies of other countries
and the enormous and ever growing
pension list of this government. Con-
Guiding he says: mo standing army
in the world costs the people so much
as our army of discharged soldiers.
Although we are at peace among our
selves and with all the world, and
have no foreign or domestic policy
to make such an expenditure neces-
sary, we are paying more than $780,
OO0, 900 annually to the soldiers OF q
war that closed twenty-five years ago.
The payment of reasonable pensions,
on account of wounds actually re-
ceived and diseases actually con-
tracted in the military or naval forces
in time of war, is just and right in it
self. aud is, moreover, the wisest
policy that can be adopted by gov
eminent which relies for its defense
almost exclusively upon the volur-
tarv services of its citizens; but the
0ratuitous distribution of public
money among certain classes Of the
ueople Is neither just nor consistent
with the character OF our institu-
tions."

BLOW Out de LampI

The american of yesterday says:
ave see it predicted that Don Cam-'
eron's disgust with Republicanism
and the continued war made upon
him by Republican organs will drive
him into the Democratic party. Such
a bright conversion would be received
among Democrats with pretty much
the same feelings that Overcame a
certain old negro preacher in this
State. He had just finished a very
fervid exhortation fullof white wings
and heIl-fire, damnatiOn and glory,
and the congregation had struck up
the favoFIte hymn, "While the
lamp holds out to burn" etc. While
the voices of the congregation were
yet quavering on the second line an
exceptionally tough customer whom
the preacher had often devoted t"
adamantine chains and penal fires for
his misdee Is, rose and came forward
to the anxious seat. The dusky di-
vine stood for q moment paralyzed
with establishment, then suddenly
throwing his arms into tue air he
shouted at the top Of his voice, "Bless
God! Blow out de lamp"

NASHVILLE'S PRIDE.

MR. EDlTOR:-Have you been to
Nashville lately? If you have, you
have,no doubt seen the Great New
Store. Truly the march of progress
is wonderful.
Who would have thought a few
years ago that there would be estab-
lish ID in the South such a CONNER
cial house as that Of the CONNELL-
HALL MCLEsTEB Co, of Nashville?
TO lady going to Nashville, this
conc srn is a blessing indeed.
She can get off the cars at the Union
Depot, take hack or street car and
go at once to the door of this great
store, where a coZy eception-room,
with dressipg-room and toilet-rOOm
re at her service. Her baggage and
b undIes may be checked, and she can
tn Ell go wherever she may choose
alb out the house or the city, without
being encountered with luggage. If
the weather is bad, and a lady goes
to he city only to shop, she need not
leave the great store at all.
Every sort of goods in the greatest
variety is kept in the house, and at
one rrice, everything being marked
in plan figures; and there she can
fnd ANYTHING that may not be had
of our locsl merchants in the way
of Dry Goods, Boys Clothing, Cloaks,
Dress-Inaking, Millinery, and every
thing else. Even a iunch-room is
kept by this enterprising company,
where such lunch is set as will sur
prise some of our coed housewives of
Many County, and at prices that are
astonishingly cheap. A lady need
not put her foot out of the door to do
u wi hole days shopping, at this great
store, and the house asks that their
reception-room be made the place of
ali visitors TO the city. They will
take care.of all bundle- sent them, and
ship all together, reli wing ladies of
untold annoyance in airing for their
purchases. When visi ing Nashville
no lady should fail to zee this great
establishment. A FRIEND.
2. ST. forgot one thing that will
greatly IIease the young people, that
is, that they have a candy depart
ment, where fresh candies are mace
every day; and even sell hot soda
v alter, that exhilirating French drink
for ladies, hot bullion, grape milk, etc.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
special to the HERALD:


WASHINGTON, D. G. Jan. %, 1891.
Senator Gray made telling point
against the proposed republican gag
rule, now before the Senate, when he
called attention to the fact that oloture
was first introduced to the English
speaking people to assist the tories in
suppressing the Home Rule movement
i'm ireland. He said: cit is a signifi-
cant fact, pregnant with instruction aud
warming TO the American people, that
the first time in the history of England
that an attempt was made in the House
of Commons to limit'debate. it was made
in order TO suppress home rule in Ire
land. Let gentlemen go out and tell
their naturalized fellow-citizens from
that stricken and unhappy isle that the
American Senate is taking a page from
the history OF the England parliament.
Cloture was adopted in England in or
der that Irish-men might be gagged in
the House of Common when they at
tempt to assert that freedom of speech
which belonged to them as representa-
tives of their people. Let gentlemen
tell the hafuralized citizens that that is
the example they are following in order
to destroy home rule in this country

None of the Whites Hurt-Some OF the
Indians WounIed OF Killed.
RAPIn CITY, Neb., Jan. 27.-An ar
rival from Lower Spring creek to day
brings the news of an attack
made by a party of Indians upon
the ranch Of Noah Newbanks
shortly after shutdown Saturday night.
Newbanks, his family, and three men
who are in his employ had just finished
their suppeIs and were seated in the
room discussing the affairs of the day
when, without a moments warning, q
crashing of glass was heard, followed by
the report of rife,
Securing their arms NewbankS and
his men rushed out of the doors only to
meet another volley from party of In
dams who had taken d position about
$50 yards from the house. Fortunately
none of tie whites were injured,
They Immediately returned the fire,
and the Indians retreated across the
Cheyenne. A vigilaut lookout was kept
at the ranch all night, but the Indians
did not return the attack. Next morn
ing the ground was closely examined
and in several places the grass was
found to be stained with blood, and
from this it is thought some of the In
dams were wounded.
White Men, Not Indians. Stole the Cattle.
Tom Hetlund and another ranchman
named Thompson, have been lodged in
Jail at Pierre, S. Oak, for stealing cat
tie on Bad river and selling them to
Pierre butchers. This eXonerates the
Indians Much of the cattle stealing
west of the river during the last two
months had been laid to them.

THERE are two things this legisla-
ture should do, il they do nothing
else. These are-to repair the Capitol
and build a new peDitentlary on a
new site. From an economic point
of view alone, both these expendi-
lures would be wise. The Capitol Is
out of repair and is rapidly getting
worse. A little money now will stop
the ravages that in few years will
be past healing. AS for the peniten-
tlary, the ground it now cumbers is
very valuable and can be sold for a
large sum. Five miles from the city
would be better place for the build
ings, and larger grounds, with better
sewerage facilities and better venti-
Iation, can be COTTON for several
thousands less money. Aside from
the advantage it would be to Nash
Vile, and tn the health of the con-
vIcts, from a purely economic view
the new buildings should be on new
grounds.

Col. d. w. FLAGLER, who was last
week made Chief of Ordnance at
Washington, has a number of friends
here who will rejoice in his promo
ton. He was here a few months
some three years ago, in charge of the
arsenal, and by his sociability, ur-
banity, and genial good spirits, made
friends of all with whom he met.
Col. Flagler and Major Isaac Arnold,
who now has the arsenal in charge,
are warm personal friends; and Co

The Iowa COunterfeiters Not Limited TO
the Three Persons First Arrested.
Dies MONIES, Iowa, Jan, 27,-Two more
men were arrested Monday night, charged
with being members of the gang of cOun-
terfeiters unearthed in this city Satur-
day. When the police at that time ar
rested Matt Merritt, his wife and Will
lam Frow, having found at their resi-
dence all of a counterfeiter's parapher-
MALTA, together with considerable sum
of counterfeit money, it was supposed
they had all who were implicated, but
later developments show that they were
only the ringleaders of an organized
band who have been working all over
Iowa.
Their speciality was the manufacture
of quarter and half dollars, and they were
making q very good article of money.
The money found at the residence in this
city was a great deal better, in the opin-
ion of experts, than the average counter
felt. The arrested parties were given a
hearing before United States Commits
sioner Jordan Monday afternoon. The
officers are satisfied this gang. when they
get them all under cover, will prove to
be the best catch of the season.

THE sentiment expressed by the
Tennessee legislature in Withholding
all appropriations from the Worlds
Fair until the Force bill is finally
disposed of, has been echoed all over
the land. Nearly all the Southern
States have adopted similar resOlu-
tions, and Illinois, Indiana and New
Jersey have done the same. There
are others yet to hear from, and If the
monster sticks its head up again it
will be hit from all sides. When this
Ubiquitous Force bill is dead and rot
ten and almost forgotten, let this be
remembered, that the man who fav-
ored il has committed the unpardOn-
able sin. Socially and politically he
should be eternally damned.
The Columbia herald. [volume] (Columbia, Tenn.) 18??-1935, 1891-01-30

AFTER all, aud aside from the
Force bill question, would it not be
better to let the Worlds Fair take
care of itself and Tennessee spend its
money on public roads? Give Ten
nessee 1 good macLdamized public
roads to every, civil dlstric:, and our
"wOnderful resources" will display
themselves and immigrants will flOcl
to this state from all parts of the
world. Two hundred and fifty thou
sand dollars expended in public rOads
would benefit the people of Tennessee
a great deal more than the biggest
display made in Chicago at the
Worlds Fair.

THE people are mighty and WI
prevail. In thunder tones at the last
election they said to the Republican,
1--WE want none OF your Force meas
ures." But these same Republicans
had yet little cinch on Off ,e and
needed not the warning. Then did
the people rise up and say: 1--WE
will hit you where you live-that is,
on your pocket-we will withhold
appropriations from the Worlds
Fair" Then did the mighty Repub-
liean money ch myers tremble, and
behold their French rules and their
