Invading Tennessee.

Governor Buchanan Of Tennes.
see, notified Governor Brown of
Kentucky, that he had reasonable
grounds for believing that Ken
tacky miners were about to in.
wade Tennessee for the purpose
of releasing Tennessee peniten.
tiary convicts who are employed
in the mines of East Tennessee.
Governor Brown replied, express.
ing his willingness to do anything
in his power, but suggested to
Tennessce's Governor that if Ken.
tuckians invaded his State for un.
lawful purposes that they were
amenable to Tennessee law.
Gov. Brown gives the whole
facts in a nutshell. The Governor
of Kentucky has no right to an.
ticipate that any, or certain, citi-
zens of Kentucky are going to
invade Tennessee for an unlawful
purpose, or, If he had. it would be
impossible for him TO identify the
particular Kentuckians that con.
templated such lawlessness. In
truth, there is no law violated MP.
on which to found an arrest until
such men are on Tennessee soil,
and therefore amenable to Ten.
nessee law. The Tennessee Gov
ernor certainly shows himself ig.
norant Of the powers and author.
ity Of the Governor of a State by
such a communication to the Gov.
ernor of Kentucky, and intelligent
people cannot account for such q
letter, unless 1t 10 intended for q
piece Of political buncombe, for
effect at home only. A Kentuck.
ian will never invade Tennessee
unless it be TO capture some Ten.
nessee girl and bring her home a
willing captive, and if the Tennes.
see boy can't get even in the same
way, he should be "shot on the
spot" as an unworthy son of our
"twin sister" State.

Famine in Europe.

The prevailing and approaching
famine in Europe is probably much
more real than even the news.

albeit newspapers are greatly Civ.
EN- to Congregations aud sensa.
tiOns.
The fact that, European Govern.
ments have repealed laws aud
passed new ones regulating and
controlling the bread stuG mar.
kets tells precisely the necessity
that is upon them. Russia pro-
hlbits the expectation Of any kind
OF grain, seeking to keep 1t all at
home, aud Germany takes of the
tariff tax on foreign wheat to make
it cheaper to her Impoverished
people.
In many Russian provinces
whole districts Of people have
been fed by public charity since
last spring, and no self support
can come until another crop is
grown, and Eastern Germany is
practically in the same plight.
And in Ireland the potato crop is
short.
Accepting the largest estimate
of production, including the i'm.
mense crop in this country, and
still there has not been produced
in the world enough to feed the
world by 200, 900, 900 bushels, cal.
culating by what is consumed each
year. Viewing these facts com.
mercially, aside from any humani.
tartan sympathy, one must plainly
see that American wheat AID corn
must command present and even
better prices.

ELECTIONS THIS FALL.
Democrats will Lose Ground.

In the fall elections of last year
the Democrats Won q sweeping
victory, carrying not only hereto.
fore doubtful TERRITORY, but dis.
tricts aud Statesn1Eas pre- vious.
Nv Hsssb'ican" f1ks becaua
the Democrats were npited every.
where where elections were held,
and aided by the condition of the
country that caused people to be
restless aud dissatisfied. The Nc.
Kinley new tariff was just enact.
ed into Iaw, and its effects in caus.
ing prices of necessities to adj.
vance we're SO plain and so fresh
that the average citizen could see,
feel, snd know the fact. With
time tie people grow accustomed
TO the higher prices thus caused,
and with the naturally changing
markets, some higher and some
lower, the higher prices caused by
the tariff law is mystitied, and the
public mind is diverted to other
causes and other conditions. As
for instance the farmers this year
are receiving higher prices for
grain solely because of demand
for il in foreign countries, but yet
il helps to eQualize the burden
caused by the tariff on manufac.
tured goods the farmer has to buy.
If there was no more foreign de-
mand this year for grain than there
was last year, the Kansas farmer
would still have to burn his corn
for fuel. Perhaps next year, and
it may be for many years succeed.
ing. the European crops will be
full and bountiful, and if SO Kan.
sas corn will burn, becfse there
will be no demand to create good
prices. This cause, together with
the fact that Democrats are not
united all along the line, portends
a backset for the Democrats in
the fall elections. AEe are

IrreconCilable WLeelers.

Elements differing as widely and

which side will win control is not

assert with much show OF truth

is already in the majority, taking
the whole country over, and that

The Great Question

that of county roads, and the peo-
pie should discuss it at home, At
gatherings, in debating societies,
everywhere.
You find men talking of low
tariff, high tariff, free silver, sub
treasury, land loans, upon which
men honestly differ, but all are
agreed that the farmer must con.
tinue to hall all his produce, and
that good or bad roads adds to or
lessons his cost in getting it to
market. BY all means discuss the
road question as we go along.

Democratic Organization



In many of the States the work
of putting the Democracy in fight.
ing trim in anticipation of the cam.
paign of 1892 is proceeding with
great vigor. The idea is to have
Democratic club In every town.
ship or civil district, acting in con-
cert with the State Central Com.
mittee, thereby affording the lat.
ter quick and effective means OF
reaching the voters. AS yet very
little work in this direction has
been done in the South, where
really the most work is needed at
the present time, and where there
should be a termination of party
spirit and a stimulation of party
pride and zeal. IL is in the South
where the Third Party apostles
are making the most strenuous
efforts to disrupt the Democracy,
and where the propagation OF
economic heresies has been most
persistent. The situation in Geor.
gia has grown very serious be.
cause Of the ill.feeling that has
been caused in the party ranks by
men like Livingstone. II is only
necessary to put the Democracy
in motion to subvert the schemes
Of the Third Party advocates.
There is magic in the old Demo.
cratic flag, aud it should be flung
to the breeze. With a strong and
enthusiastic club in every civil
district In the South tho cause of
the Democracy will be entirely
safe; but there is no telling what
may happen IL the party he not
organized on a militant basis at
once. 1t will not do to wait until
next summer, after the nomina.
tons, State and National. have
been made. The young men Of
the party should be brought into
action aud made to feel their re.
sponsibiities as Democrats and
voters. Through the winter club
meetings should be held and sound
Democracy preached 10y men who
have the confidence of the party
and who are alive TO the political
eXigencies of the times.

strikers did not molest them. At noon
