MILLIGAN COLLEGE.

The Commencement exercises OF
this institution were held in the chapel
Monday. Long before the hour APP
pointed the citizens began collecting,
and when the president, faculty, dis
tinguished visitors and graduating
class stepped upon the platform a
large, intelligent audience greeted
them.
The class consisted of Messrs. j. e..
Stewart, ]. F, Sargent and w. L. Dud-
ley, of Virginia, and David Lyon, OF
Tennessee Misses Clara L. mcdonnell,
Mary H, Dew and Cordelia P, Hender-
son, of Virginia.
The exercises were of a high order
and would have dom credit to any
University in the State. If space
would allow l would take pleasure in
speaking in more specific terms Of the
orations and essays, as all deserve
more than a passing notice, and man
ifest careful thought, and elegance OF
expression. But especially do they de-
serve credit for the fact that no stud
led effort seems to have been made to
please the shallow dude or the gaudy
butterfly who care only for rhetorical
flourish and flowery nonsense.
The music was we'll selected and
beautifully rendered. In fact, the
program was one of more than usual
interest and elegance.
Today at 10 80 a. m. the Rev. j. b
Briney will deliver the annual address,
after which the degrees will be confer
red.
1t may be safely said that there are
few mtn making the personal sacri
fees for the cause of Christian educa
ton than is shown by Professor Hop
wood. And, further, a student wht
takes the classical course in Milligan
College and graduates without giving
up whisky and tobacco gives little
hope of reformation in this life.

Standing with that true dignity
which is only born of true greatness,
in the foreground of the field upon
which the hosts are marshaling for
one of the greatest political contests
of our national life, is Grover Cleve-
land.
He has fought Democracy's battles.
Unhinchingly has he borne the politi-
cal burdens of the day. To some OF
our most glorious victories he has led
us. We should not forget that when
the spirit OF our foes, long accustomed
to unchecked power and maddened by
defeat, seemed TO demand the fruits OF
the national victory to which he led
us and determined to seize the presi-
dency, the conspiracy melted before
his unmistakable and fearless warn
ing. Throughout his administration
as Chief Magistrate Of our nation he
adhered stoutly to every cardinal Dem
ocratic doctrine as enunciated by JET
%ferson, Jackson, Polk, and other faith
ers of Democracy.
He was the most earnest and con-
sistpnt advocate OF tariff reform, sound
currency, economical government,
the publication of the civil service,
and the idea that the affairs OF the
Government should be conducted upon
business principles.
While faithful in all things to his
pledges to his party, he was at the
same time true to his promises made
to the whole American people. No
man can point to a single unworthy
act of his public life. Indeed, his con-
scientiousness and purity was of such
a high degree as to win him the al
|, most universal admiration Of his polit-
ical foes.
Democracy is again face to face with
the enemy. The impending struggle
will be momentous. The crisis points
US to but one man, to but n captain
to the master spirit given to the whole
nation by the Democratic party. With
!. almost universal accord the greal
heart of Democracy calls for Grover
Cleveland.
He has demonstrated 10 the world
that a republican form of government
may be lifted entirely above any vena
or corru2,ing influence based on part.
: success, and may be administers
upon the plane of craftsmanship in it,
highest sense.
To take now any n else as a can
didate would be to turn back the clocl
|, OF the republic to weaken the stabil
ity of our chosen form of government
and to stay the tide Of higher and pur
D. er political endeavor. We would there
> by repudiate II hand and heart, ST
n to speak Of our own volition cast con
fusion and discredit upon ourselves
and elate as nothing else would, tn
hearts OF all foes of Democracy.-Nash

We, the undersigned, a committee

Gems of Johnson Ci4y to draft and pre-
sent to said convention at its next

sive Of the sentiments of the public on
the subject of Sunday excursions"
beg leave to submit the following
l., Resolved, That we regard the
command OF the Supreme Law.giver,
Remember the Sabbath day to keep
it holy" as binding on all intelligent
human beings, and we believe all
Sunday excursions to be in violation
ofthe Divine Command-demoralizing
TO a community-exceedingly hurtful
to Christian character, and very det-
rimental to Church services on the
Sabbath.
2. Resolved, In the name of the
Master and Of his law, by which we
must all be judged at the last day for
the sake Of good morals, and in behalf
OF the young people of our town, be-
fore whom temptations should not be
placed we most earnestly appeal to
the authorities who control the rail-
roads running out of our city, not to
provide any more Sunday excursinso
over their respective roads.
3. Resolved, That the thanks of this
convention are hereby rendered the
authorities OF the Johnson City Street
Car Company, for the high action tax
en- by them in formally determining
not to offer any inducements for Sun.
day excursions oyer their road.
4. Resolved, That we believe it tC
be the dnty Of all Church members
and indeed OF all who regard the mora
and religious development Of our PEG
pie, to withdraw their influence ant
patronage from Sunday excursions.
Resolved, That we regard the com
mand Of God to observe the Sabbath
as universal and imp %rative, and it j
our most solemn conviction that tn.
gates Of the Worlds FIR should b
closed OH Sunday, and we most cal
nestly request the National World
Fair Commission to see that the Fai
isnot opened on the Sabbath day.

stated that be would have to give up all Of his
Virginia accounts. and the inference from tho
letter was that he could continue selling tho
goods OF his nonresident clients free of tax

investigation. He was accordingly sent for
anu stated that in the case Of tickien against
idennessee, &c, decided by the
supreme Court Of the United States
April . 1892 the Court decided that COM
inercial broker in State doing the business
OF residents and non-residents ~ subjected TO
state tax: but in the case deciding this the
court especially disclaimed any opinion as to
whether or not such broker would be ex-
empted from State tax If doing the business
OF non-resldents only: and this question IS still
an open one. He further said the Auditor OF
virginia holds that the simple fact that the
broker is resident in Virginia subjects him to
the State tax and the decision referred TO
leans that way: but IL Is very doubtful ques-
ton and can only be determined by the Audi
tor proceeding 20 collect the tax IN accord
ance with his views and the broker taking tho
case 70 the courts.
The subject will probably receive further
attention from tho Chamber. but no other
action was taken yesterday evening.
There being no further business before the
DOard the meeting then ad burned.
