The Legislature Against the Suo-Treas-
ury.
The American has interviewed the
members of the Legislature, who are
fresh from the people, on the sub
treasury scheme, and the positive
way in which they speak out against
1t shows very clearly how the De-
mocracy of Tennessee stands on the
question, as also the better element
in the Alliance. Mcdowell has sim
ply been playing the bluff game, by
clustering, threatening and intimi-
dation, but that game is up with
Mcdowell. He manifests a very
strong desire to back down, has
changed his tactics and wants to drop
the sub-treasury.
Several interesting facts will be
made apparent by q perusal of the
interviews.
First, not single member came
out squarely for the sub-treasury.
Every Democratic member OF the
Senate is against it and at least fifty
three members of the House stand
with them.
OF the forty-three Democratic
members of the Alliance in the Leg
islature, thirty-four are against the
sub-treasury and nine are unsettled
or in favor of it in modified form.
OF the forty-six Democrats who do
not belong to the Alliance forty-four
came out squarely against the scheme.
Two are put in the doubtful list, and,
as matter of fact, one of these is
squarely against the sub-treasury.
Representatives from this and ad-
joining counties express themselves
as follows:
Senator Slaughter, of Montgom-
cry: / am against anything that
has been proposed along that line.
1t is class legislation, unfair and not
right.
II. Y. johnson, OF Montgomery !:
lam against it.
w. B. Dunbar, of Montgomery,
member of the Alliance: Pm
against 1t.
w. 4. Wilkinson, of Cheatham {:
am against the two bills offered,
but / am for some change in our
financial system.
Senator Lennox, of Cheatham,
member of the Alliance am
against the two bills already offered
on the subject. l am against the
scheme.
J. b, Cockrell, of Stewart, member
OF the Alliance: l think the meas
ure unconstitutional and am heartily
opposed to it.
III. G. True, of Robertson: Straight
out against it.

A Wonder Workar.

Mr.. Frank Huffman, a young man
of Burlington, Ohio, states that he had
been under the care of two prominent
physicians, and used their treatment
until he was not able to get around.
They pronounced his case to be Con-
sumption and incurable. He was per-
suaded to try DR.. Kings New Dis
covery for Consumption, Coughs and
Colds and at that time was not able
to walk across the street without rest
ing. He found, before he had used
half of dollar bottle, that he was
much better; he continued to use it
and is to-day enjoying good health.

In Memoriam.

Michael, youngest son of Mrs.
Julia Abbott, died August 20, 1891,
aged rs years.
Yes, it has pleased God to take him
from his family circle, from those he
loved, from the friends of his child
hood, to enjoy the peace of heaven.
He was warned of the approaching
danger, needed the precaution, and
made ample preparations for death.
During his sickness he exerted all
his strength and energy in his hard.
fought battle for life. He loved life,
as was natural for one SO young,
which was truly exemplified by his
many touching remarks yet he was
willing to die.
The living are the only dead,
The dead live, nevermore to die;
And often, when we mourn them fed,
they never were so nigh.
Only twenty-siX-so young, yet
God claimed him-he knew. Who
has seen more patient and cheerful
sufferer than our beloved Michael.
He was kind, devoted son to his
fond old mother, and this devotion
was most touching when he kissed
her goodbye for the last time with
the words, "What are you going to
do now?" He was noble, generous
hearted and true friend. Even in
his dying hours his face beamed
with that bright smile which was his
of old, the bright smile which greet
ed every friend and made them vel
come to his bedside.
Hope may whisper with the dead
BY bending forward where they are,
But memory with a backward tread
Communes with them afar.
The joys we lose are but forecast
And we shall find them all once more.
We look behind us for the past,
But 10 tits all before.

1t was around Naples as late rs 1915. Its
temperance now In west Siberia is
marked by a terrible mortality which
recalls the stories OF some OF its old

CHICAGO, Feb. IA liveryman claims
TO have invented ''press-the-button"
electrical contrivance by which run-

Beneath the drivers box a two-volt dry
battery Is located, In the top Of which
are located three copper pegs, which
project from the ends OF the lines Run
ming inside the lines are copper wires,
forming q circuit through the horses
nose by two small polished balls OF alum
mum, which press tightly against the
inner sides OF the nostrils. The circuit
Is opened and closed by means OF two
buttons, one of which can be operated
by the driver. Should he be thrown
from his seat before he can press the
button, another button, located beneath
the seat inside the carriage, can be ope-
rated by the occupants.
A reporter tested the merit Of the in

LONDON, Feb. 1.-The news of Baron
Hirsch's immense gift for the benefit OF
Russian and Polish Jews emigrating to
the United States has been received
with considerable satisfaction In London,
rs there is strong opposition, both among
the working classes and business men,
10 any more immigration OF Russian
Jews TO England, and Lord Salisbury's
government has been asked 10
interfere to prevent II. The latest
arrivals In Russia on their way to Amer
lea are OF the most squalid description
and IL Is probable that local authority
would have interfered 10 prevent their
remaining here, even II the imperial
government had not acted. IL Is hoped
that Baron Hirsch's donation will induce
the United States not To send back TO
Europe the many thousand Russian
Jews who are preparing 10 swarm across
the Atlantic and settle In New York and
other American cities, and most OF whom
are destitute. An Odessa dispatch says
that instructions have been received

igration and get rid OF all the Jews pos
