THE SUM Err TRADE.
The Indications That 1t Will be Better
Than Usual,

The dry goods merchants are antici-
pating a good summer trade and the
prospects are that their anticipations
will be realized. The wheat crop
was rarely ever better and il will
take considerable money to harvest
it.
This money will AL be spent with
the merchants, and by the time it is
gone the wheat crop will be threshed
and will be put on the market. This
will give another good trade which
will last until the summer is
about gone. There has scarcely
ever been a more cheerful out
look for this section than right now.
Farmers have been comparatively
successful in getting good money for
their tobacco, and the wheat, oat and
hay crop will help them out wonder
fully. A prominent merchant said to
a reporter yesterday, that he had
never seen rs Ilttle demand t0r credlt
among the farmers as there is at pres
ent. They all seem 10 have the cash
to pay for what they want, and this
is a good index to the prosperous con-
dition of the country. When farmers
are prosperous the whole country IS
prosperous.

FIFTEEN CENTS A WEEK
QUESTION OF VERACITY.
Governor Buchanan and Lectur-
or j. H. Roberts.
The Governor Says He Did Not Make
Statement to J. H. Roberts Of
Any Kind.

The assertion OF Lecturer Roberts
here Saturday that Gov. buchanan
had assured him that he would ac-
cept the nomination Of the Third
party if rendered him, has met with
a denial at the hands OF the Govern
or. At the same time, howev,r,
Governor Buchanan refuses to am
swer the question when propounded
10 him by reporter for The Ameri-
cin. The report was sent out from
Memphis that Governor Buchanan
had said down there that unless the
Chicago convention did not do to suit
certain men in Tenn, ssee Third
party ticket would be nominated.
The American reporter interviewed
him on this subject with the follow
ing result:
"When seen by an American re-
porter Monday afternoon the Govern
or expressed the same opinions.
But said he, Il did not say In Mem
phis, as quoted, that / was convinced
beyond the shadow of doubt that,
although Tennessee's delegation
might vote for Cleveland, he would
fail to carry this State next all.
What l did say was that the nolni-
nation Of Cleveland would make
Tennessee a doubtful Democratic
State. | also believe that IL would
make the two Caro'inas, Alabama
and Louisiana doubtful. The result
in these States will depend on what
is done by the Third Party Conven-
ton mt Omaha. The masses Of the
people in The Democratic States ae
for free coinage, and the hope of free
coinage legislation was the reason Of
tho great Democratic victories In
1890. None Of the men now favoring
u Third party will vote for Cleveland
on an anti-silver PLATFORM"
"The Governors attention was
called TO Il dispatch in the Appeal
Avalanche saying that j. III. Roberts,
Alliance lecturer, had told an Al
lianceman at CIarksville that he had
a few days before been assured by
the Governor that he would accept
the nomination of the Third party II
rendered him. The Governor denied
having made any such statement to
Roberts,"
"'Have you any idea OF joining the
Third partyT queried the reporter.
"'I de:Iine 10 be interviewed fur
thcr,' said the Governor. He then
spoke OF his intention of going to
Chicago last night to see what should
be done there.
"'Will you support the Chicago
nominee p asked the reporter.
"After IL considerable pause the
Governor answered: well, ] consid-
er ii an impertinent question TO ask
man whether he will support his
own party"

FOND FAREWELL.
John Henry Mcdowell Retires
from the Democratic Party.
He Has Never Been Considered a Demo-
crat, However, by the Rank and
File Of the Party.

The following is taken form to-
days American:
"In this weeks issue of the Toiler,
the Official organ of the Farmers
and Laborers' Union,' the whole
front page Is devoted to an address
by John III. Mcdowell to the 'AlIi-
lance Brotherhood. Over it are the
following double-column headlines !:
"'Hon. j, III. McDowell's Fare
well Address. Duty calls me to "a
nObler field, and | bid the old party
fond farewell, to unite with a
grander and nobIer Peoples party.
l heed no angry passion, and am still
battling for the right
"Mr. Mcdowell begins by saying
that, 'as the official head of the Farm
ers, Alliance of Tennessee he deems
it his duty to answer the hundreds
OF inquiries from brethren through
out the State,' as to whether he
would join the great reform move
ment now agitating the minds of the
people all over the State and union
"The President of 'our noble or
der then enters upon denunciation
of the Democratic party, which he
accuses of fragrant Outrages,' corrupt
Methods political debauchery,'
etc. He declares that 'misrepresenta-
ton, villification and ridicule' have
been the chief Democratic weapons
to destroy the Alliance, and that
those in control OF The party machin.
cry have undertaken to place on Al
lance men Obligations to support
platforms which no self-respecting
freeman can take.
"The coal oil chief says that Dem
ocrats have cracked the party lash by
yelling force bill, negro domina-
tion, etc, but alleges that such talk
is used only for 'scarecrow' purposes.
"After calling on everybody to
save the country from impending de-
siruction by joining the Third party,
the holder Of $40, 900 sinecure says:
The new party, or Peoples party,
was not brought into existence by the
Farmers Alliance. 1t was organized
by all the combined labor organiza.
tions of the United States, town and
country. If you want to free your
self from the bonds of slavery and
oppression, come and go with us.
Truth shall make you free. But if
you swerve from the path parked
out by the combined wisdom of our
grand labor conference you destroy
all hope of success"

There were twelve unhappy men in
Camden on election day. They were the
persons drawn to serve as jurors in the
trial of Francis Lingo for the murder of
Mrs. Annie Miller, of Merchantville.
The cause of their unhappiness was the
fact that they were not allowed to vote.
The law provides that the jury drawn in
a murder case must not be separated.
Judge Garrison could have granted the
jurymen the privilege of exercising their
right of franchise by directing the con-
stable to take the entire jury to each
polling place where any of the members
casts his ballot. But here the law inter-
fered again, as under the provisions of
the Werts ballot reform bill every voter
must prepare his ticket secretly in a
booth.-Philadelph Record.

Good City Government,

Charles Francis Adams contributes to
The Forum an important paper on the
Improvement Of municipal government,
using as an illustration some expert
ments in that direction which have been
made in Quincy, Mass. Mr.. Adams is
certain that in the founding of our mu-
nicipal system a grave mistake was
made. That was in modelling the city
government after the national one.
A state represents political policy; 1nu-
nicipal administration the mere trans
acting of business. Paving streets,
lighting and sewering them, taxing the
town for keeping up schools, securing
the safety of the community through
policemen, and making the town beau
tiful through public parks are matters
that each citizen cannot attend to on
his own responsibility. Therefore he del
egates these duties to certain of his fell
low citizens. That is all there is or
ought to be in municipal management.
The cumbrous machinery of our city
governments, with their top heavy
boards OF two houses and the figure
head OF mayor are the worst machin-
cry that could be devised to transact
public business. City government has
nothing to do with politics. The true
model for city government should be
the successful private business corpora
tion, with its simple machinery of presi-
dent and board of directors. These meet
and plan out the measures which will
bring most prosperity to the firm or cor
poration. Exactly so it should be with
city governments, the mayor represent
ing the president, single body of alder
men or councilmen representing the di-
rectors.
The ward system, Mr.. Adams thinks,
should be abolished, and the single
mouse voted for in a body, as presi-
uenUial electors are, no one citizen being
allowed to vote for more than two-thirds
oi the Whole number, however. He may,
though, concentrate his whole number
OF votes on few members. This would
allow the certainty of election for any
particularly desirable man in any one
locality. Finally Mr.. Adams would
make the best men in a community
serve as municipal officers, whether they
want to or not Jury duty is compul-
sorry; why should not municipal service
be also2
The puzzle the charter reformer has to work
out, If he Is going to get down to the root of
the matter, Is some practical system which
shall secure the utmost political free play to
the individual citizen, and the representation
Of minorities in municipal affairs; having done
this-haying thus set individuals free and
made minorisies potent-it will be for those
composing the minorities to put their hands,
as Of old, on the shoulders of the "best men, !"
and exact of them compulsory municipal serv-
ice. those civic tours Of public duty.

CONGRESSMAN JOHNSON, of Ohio, sug
gests that the lower house of congress
pass tariff reform measure at once
and send it to the senate. If the
senate will not pass it, or if Harrison
vetoes it, then call an extra session as
soon as possible after March 4. Such
a plan will convince the people that
Democracy means business" and
will put the responsibility on the Re
publicans, where it rightfully belongs,
for the need of calling the extra ses-
sion. If reform work is put off till
the regular session of the fifty. third
congress no measure can get through
before the summer of 1894. That is
too long to wait, and would, in fact,
be playing into the hands of the Re.
publicans, who could easily induce
manufacturers to shut up their shops
just before the next congressional
election aud lay the blame to tariff
reform. The game has been worked
before, and the way to outwit them
if to begin smashing the tariff at
once by an extra session or in any
other way. Any unnecessary delay
will be rebuked by the people with
less ceremony than the present ad-
ministration was ordered out.

The Great Library of the United States.

Tho Great Library OF the United States.
When it is considered that the largest
existing public library, that of the
French government at Paris, contains as
yet but 1900, 900 volumes, and that ample
space exists in the edifice now rising on
Capitol hill for storing more than twice
that number, it will be perceived that
the wants of the future are well cared
for. While nearly every government
edifice appears to have been built only
for a generation and its uses have long
overgrown its limits, this one, through
the farsighted liberality of congress,
will provide room for the nations books
for nearly two centuries to come.
The ultimate cost is limited to sc, ,000,-
900, sum somewhat less than half the
cost of the Capitol or of the large build
ing erected for the accommodation of
the state, war and navy departments.
The library building covers very nearly
the same space as each of these govern
ment buildings (about three acres), and
is constructed Of solid granite, with iron,
brick and marble interior. Its ample
interior courts and numerous windows
will render it the best lighted and best
ventilated library of large proportions
yet erected.-A. R. Spofford in Forum.

The Paris Rappel, not to be outdone
by its contemporaries, who during the
summer startled the public of the French
capital by the most surprising sea SER
pent stories, recently capped the climax
by mentioning among the wonders to
be exhibited at the Chicago Worlds fair
in the department for amphibians the
elephant frog.
"On the shore of the Ohio" it says,
"there exists a gigantic frog-Ranula
elephanta-which exclusively feeds on
the eggs of wild geese and ducks that
nest in the reeds of that river. AS it is
not endowed with teeth for breaking
the shells it swallows the eggs as they
are laid by the webfooted tribes on the
banks of the rivers. They are of course
hard to digest in this form, but the frog
knows how to get out of this dilemma.
1t climbs moderate sized tree and dex-
terously drops down upon its stomach,
the conclusion breaking the shell of the
egg, which is now easily digested in the
shape of an omelet. 1t is highly inter-
esting to observe his frogships blinking
eyes, which give expression to the utter
satisfaction enjoyed by their owner. This
oviphagous frog, as may be expected,
will also be on exhibition at Chicago
amid innumerable other curiosities of
nature

Deaths in the white House.

Two presidents and wives of two pres
idents have died in the White House.
The first time that death invaded that
mansion was when the grandfather of the
present president, the rugged soldier and
farmer, used to plain fare, out of door
life and early hours, succumbed to the
nervous strain, the persecution of Office
seekers, the worry and the physical ex-
haustion of official life President Will
liam Henry Harrison died one month
after his inauguration. The wife of
Vice President Tyler, who succeeded
General Harrison as president, died in
the White House the following year.
When the change was made and the
Tylers moved into the White House
Mrs. Tyler took the room of the dead
president for her own occupancy. 81
have no superstitious feeling on the sub
ject," she wrote in one of her charming
letters to a friend, land it is as pleasant
as possible"
The other death Of president in the
White House was that of General Zach
ary Taylor in 1850. Lincoln, it will be
remembered, died in house on Tenth
street, to which he was taken from
Ford's theater, and Garfield died at El-
beron, N. j. Of the twenty-six presi-
dents of the United States four have
died in Washington-the elder Harrison,
Taylor and Lincoln, and John Quincy
Adams when representative.-Bo
