WARD MCALLIsTER, in arrogating the
power to determine who are and who are
not people fit to be classed as first in So
ciety, has reduced his New York 400 TO
$50. He is making the great metropolis q
laughing stock, and exhibiting himself as
a jackanapes. Merit and the unwritten
law of society will determine who is fit to
move in social circles of good repute.
Anything whatever that tends to create
or maintain class distinctions is I'M
American and really dangerous to free
institutions. McAllister is an ass. but
for all that acquiescence in his assumption
becomes a menace to the republican
character of the American system-not a
great menace, tits true, but nevertheless
an offense.

THE bosses, their henchmen and or
gans continue to SANDER, vilify and
abuse Trustee Mclaughlin, John B.
Rodgers, the peoples choice for Chief of
Police, and all who have the independ-
ence to assert their manhood and declare
that they will no longer be ruled by a
clique of upstart ward strikers. The
foulest lies have been printed and circu-
lated, but they have had absolutely no
effect upon the intelligent voters of this
city. They know the source whence all
this calumny comes and pay no attention
to it. At the coming election, under the
reform ballot law, voters will be free
men and will cast their ballots without
the interference Of the ward strikers and
FOUNDERS of the bosses. The result will
be signal defeat of the corrupt gang and
the election of William Mclaughlin and
John B. Rodgers.

IN Ohio last year there were engaged
in instructing the children of that State
%, 900 teachers. The average pay of the
men was 500 and Of the women S45 a
month. A proposition is on foot to in
crease the wage. 1t is beggarly trife to
pay for brains. To be a good teacher
calls for talent that deserves better re-
ward. How can men and women fit to
teach be expected to take on the labor
when the ability it demands expended in
almost any other direction will yield bet
ter reward? 1t is a poor policy to en-
ploy cheap teachers for the simple reason
that poor pay will repel competency and
command only mediocre workers. If
there is any reason above that of custom
for paying women less than men, for the
same service (which there is NOT, then,
by virtue of the same rule, men ought to
be paid more than $40 month in excess
of women for teaching ability. Ohio has
good school system, but she cannot
maintain it to standard and expect good
male teachers to live decently and raise
families on 500 a month.

The sensational charges against Ameri-
can Consul McCreery at Valparaiso
should be thoroughly Investigated. He
must be presumed TO be innocent, and he
should not be expected to affirmatiyely
enter upon his defense Unfortunately,
there is manifest in the American public
the disposition to accept a charge as
equivalent to proof and to look to the
accused to prove his innocence. The
press is mainly chargeable for this alb
normal condition of public Judgment;
and it is a very dangerous one, by the
way. 1t was only the other day that a
public man of national character was
charged with dishonorable dismissal from
the army years ago, and half the news
papers in the country eXclaimed-practi-
cally-"Now, let the General come for
ward and disprove these charges" The
idea does not appear to have suggested
itself to anyone that the demand should
be for the Generals accusers to come for
ward and prove their accusations. In the
case of Consul NIcCreery, therefore, let
US suspend judgment. But at the same
time the Government is put upon inquiry
by the published statements concerning
the Consul, and should institute an early
investigation to enable him to face his
accusers and answer to their proofs. If
the Consul has been using his official
position to deal in bills of exchange as
others could not, because not possessed of
official secrets, he should be cashiered
and disgraced before the nation and
made such an example of as will warn all
other American representatives abroad
not to tribe with the name and honor of
their official station, and thus bring
shame upon their nation.

KEELY is not entitled to recognition as
a doctor, because he keeps secret what he
claims to be a medicinal discovery, and
thereby he violates one of the first prin-

chemist that the name 'bichloride of
gold'' is in itself mistake? Can there
be @bichloride' of gold?

BOSS DICTATORSHIP AND INDIE
PENDENCE,

The question is revived at the East
whether bossism and the party organ are
losing or gaining power. Generally we
should say losing. AS to the strength Of
bossism in New York, in the light of the
action of the Albany Democratic Conven-
ton in pushing David B. Hill to the
front, we should say it gains.
AS for the party organ, we are sur
prised that the matter is debated. We
really do not know where to now fix
upon newspaper of any consequence
that is purely political orgau-which at
this day is only another term for ''boss
voice" All journals worthy of consider
alton are now Independent in expression,
though they may and do have strong in
clinations more favorable to the princi-
pies enunciated by one political party
than those of another. But there are
none worth mention that will not indig-
nantly repudiate the charge or assump-
ton that they are merely party tools, I'M
thinking parts of party machinery. Even
such journals as VIGOROUSLY the profess
sional bosses control, ape the airs of in
dependence, and deny that they are sup
ported in whole or in part by political
coin or promise.
In this respect, then, there has within
forty years been wonderful progress, a
gratifying march up from the time when
and the level upon which the badge of
party control was worn upon the fore
head of journals.
But it is not true of bossism. That
which we know to-day is of quite recent
growth. Forty years ago it was rare, in
deed all but unknown. Tammany, it is
true, always has been a machine since it
broke away from it's social and originally
patriotic purpose. But not even Tam
many, in its early days of political ven
turing, ever dreamed of becoming what
1t is to-day, a massive, powerful political
machine of the Democratic bosses.
The reasons that have Leo to the present
growth of bossism are precisely the rea-
sons that have promoted INDEPENDENCE in
the press. Corruption and venality have
fostered the one; the suspicion of it would
be the death-warrant of the other, Jour
nalists saw that support by political
committees meant subserviency to their
dictation, and inevitable loss of influence
and of community respect; and hence
party collars are now no longer worn by
newspapers of any worth.
With the amazing increase of the
wealth Of the country; the influx of vast
numbers of the ignorant of many ma
tionalities; the marvellous expansion of
the republic and it's magical develop
ment; with the unavoidable increase of
official patronage; the amassing Of great
private fortunes; the political ambitions
of the enormously rich; the exceeding in
crease of the use of public funds; with
the growth of the place-seeking dis
position, and, finally, with the with
drawal from or neglect of political duty
doing of average good citizens in vast
numbers, the development of the boss as
we now know him, and his requirement
of usurped power, are not surprising,
though inexpressibly deplorable.

Whenever the people neglect their po-
ltical heritage, the boss will attend to it
for them-but in his own way. A fruit
bearer uncared for is liable to become ex-
hausted and infested with deadly para
sites; so. too, political duty neglected will
become political disease. Insensibility of
the public conscience to the growth of
venality and corruption in political life
has augmented with the usurpation of
power by bosses, which, if not checked,
must end, in some degree, in practical
loss of liberties. AS temptations in
crease, and unholy reward grows more
slluring, not only greater moral courage
for resistance is needed, but greater vigil
lance on the part of the heirs of free in
situations. Because as people we have
not manifested it we are boss-rldden to-
day, and the public conscience more and
more dulled by familiarity with corrupt
political methods, until we have come to
designate as merely sharp practices things
that we should abhor.
The press has, then, grown independent
Of party whip-cracking, while party has
become all but the slave of boss masters.
The independency of the press and some
evidences of moral revolt on the part of
citizenship, justify hope of better things.
The demand OF the people is beginning
to be heard in emphatic terms that in
State, municipal and on all planes of po-
htical administration they shall be rid of
the evil of boss brokerage, management
and dctation. The reform ballot is one
evidence of the revolt against the traf-
ticking in nominations, the buying and
selling of votes and the counting out of
majorities at the will of manipulators of
the ballot boxes.
There will follow return to political
activity, let us hope, of those whose ne
elect has so much contributed to the
grevious political ills of the day. When
that comes about venality viii not be
winked at, and corruption in Iaw-making
or notwithstanding in office-flling or
serving, viii grow perilous, and the possi-
bility will open up of cessation of legis-
lative scandals, the end of municipal rule
by self-appointed and upstart bosses, and
of seurrilous abuse by boss fuglemen, of
citizens who assert their right to free
thought and self-government.

The coroner's inquest held James

murderer. He is stranger in this

In the deepest mystery. Further

Amusements.

Theater-goers will have two good
attractions within the next two
weeks. On the 30th of this month
George Wilson will hold the boards
with bis minstrel organization. This
troupe is so well-known In Clarks-
vile that ii needs no introduction.
Wilson always plays to big houses in
Clarksville and this will be no ex-
ception to the rule. All OF his old
admirers will want to see him.
"The Nabobs" will follow Wilson's
minstrels. appearing here Friday
night, December 2, and by the way
this is possibly the best attraction
Clarksville will have this season.
The company has given the best OF
satisfaction wherever it has appeared,
and comes with the best recommen-
dations. AT a recent Nashville en-
gagement the American spoke OF the
company as follows:
~ohu hOuouuW anu may ltU
Brock, two of the greatest laugh
producers in the country, entertained
fairly good audience ut the Ven.
dome last night in their musical ex-
travaganza, entitled "The Nabobs."
The play is devoid of plot, snd Is
simply combination of very clever
specialities by very clever people. 1t
Is an attempt to amuse and ii Is more
than successful. Henshsw, as Would
B. Good, was at his best In his eccen-
trio style. His songs were new and
catchyand his monoloeue sparkled
with witticisms. Ten Broeck was
her same self, bright and clever. The
supporting company is good one In
every particular. Each exponent OF
his or her speciality is thorough and
Dainstaking. The songs and dances
by the Misses Blande were especially
well received and recalled several
times. Withal, "The Nabobs" Is one
OF the best farces now on the road.
The voices are well trained and
Nashville has heard opera where the
chorus singing and general ensemble
were inferior to that In "Ihe Ma
bobs."

EASTERN FIELD TRIALS.
Capt. Henry's Dogs Garry Off
The Prizes Easily.
Something About Olarksville Dogs
Which Have Astonished the Sport
ing Fraternity in This Line.

1t appears that Clarksville is gain
ing reputation in more ways than
one. Few people know that Capt.
Henry is raising bird dogs that are
astonishing the sporting world. lie
is doing this, and the recent field
trials at High Point, N. c., have
brought it out. These field trials
are given under the auspices of the
Eastern Field Trial Club, and are at
tended by sporting men from all
parts of the Union, and the best dogs
of the country are entered for the
stakes, which amount to considerable
money.
In contest there on the 23rd Rods
Sue, out of Gladstone's Girl, by Rod
erigo, won the. first prize. This dog
was bred here in Clarksville by
Capt. Henry and was sold to P. LO-
rillard, Jr., who entered her in the
contest. Capt. Henry received $500
for the dog, selling at the same time
and to the same person, Count Antes,
by Count Noble, out Of Gladstone's
Girl. This dog was also handled in
contest by Mr.. Lorillard and won
the Members Stake, which 10 a good
prize and much sought after.
The excellent work of these dogs
has been the cause of Capt. Henry
receiving letters from bird dog fan
ciers from various parts of the coun-
try putting in applications for pup
pies. One fellow tells Capt. Henry
to save him a couple and make any
charge he pleases.
This is not all. Capt. Henry will
get cup worth 800, or the money,
just as he chooses, for being the
breeder of the winners. He got 5000
for the two dogs and now the pre-
MUM runs it up to 500 for them.
There seems to be money in breeding
the right kind of dogs, and it appears
that Capt. Henry is breeding win
ners.

Do you wish to know the quickest
way to cure a cold? We will tell
you. To cure a cold quic6ly, it must
be treated before the cold has become
settled in the system. The first syn-
toms are dry, loud cough and
sneezing. The cough is soon follow
ed by watery expectoration, and the
sneezing by profuse watery dis.
charge from the nose. In severe
cases there is thin white coating on
the tongue. What to do: 1t is only
necessary to take Chamberlain .
Cough remedy in double doses every
hour. That will greatly lessen the
severity of the cold and in many
cases will effectually counteract il
and cure what would have been 60
we're cold within one or two days
time. Try it and be convinced. 50
