TRIBUNE LOCAL OBSERVATIONS
Herald and tribune. [volume] (Jonesborough, Tenn.) 1869-current, 1893-09-27

ONE of the most alarming features
of our civilization is the frequent
lynchings occurring in various parts
of the country. The possibility of
escape, acquital and delay attending
trials in our antiquated system of
courts has doubtless done more to
enthrone Judge Lynch than all other
causes. A reformation, if not a
revolution, in our judicial system,
seems to be necessary to restrain
the impotence of an outraged public
when crime has been committed
of such a character as to induce q re-
sort to lynch law. There ought to
be court in each county, open if nee
essary every day in the year, for the
trial of every crime committed, and
as soon as as committed, giving con-
tinuances only from hour to hour, or
day to day, instead of term to term
as now. Such a court would save in
jail fees and costs, enough to pay
the salary of a Judge to hold these
courts.

CONGRESS has been in session nearly
two months trying to repeal the
Sherman law. The bill was rushed
through the House, and an effort
made to stampede the silver Senators
and get it through the Senate before
returning prosperity could give the
lie to the charge that the Sherman
law is responsible for the hard times.
The friends of silver in the Senate
have shown more backbone than was
expected, and the prospects of un,
conditional repeal are dependent upon
the ability of the Senate to pass a
rule closing debate, arule the Senate
has not had for eighty years, and
which has been defeated every time
such a thing has been proposed.
However such a rule is now pending
before the Senate, and if adopted the
repeal bill will pass, otherwise it's
fate is doubtful.

News from this section seems to be
at a very low ebb, this week. Quite an
amount of fine tobacco is being har-
vested, and if it brings anything like a
good price, will place a great many
dollars in the hands of the farmers.
Well, we need all we can get, since
wheat and a great many other farm
products bring little more than it costs
to market them. Alex. Bayless and
wife have been on a pleasant visit to
Jonesboro the past week. Henry May
moved his family here this week; we
extend them a hearty welcome. Some
few cases of fux in this vicinity; Mr..

tack, but is improving slowly. Prof.
Watts was in our midst this week,
prospecting for a location of the next
teachers institute. He seemed to think
Bon Air about the place he was looking
for. Let us have it; so say the genial
citizens. The Prof. says he has visited
quite a number of schools during the
past few weeks and reports good work
in all of them. Every teacher and di-
rector should do all in their power to
aid Prof. Watts in the u%pbuilding of
education in the good old county of
Washington; that in a few years it
may be truthfully said that this is the
banner county of East Tennessee. An
effort is being made by a few enterpris-
ing young men to raise the funds for
the completion of the cistern at New
Salem. 1t is to be hoped they will re-
ceive liberal contributions as it is some
thing badly needed at that place. Miss
Grace Bayless, one Of Gladstone's most
charming young ladies', and an intelli-

He has endeavored repeatedly to

He holds himself above his party. He
repudiates his party pledges.
His will is the law, and those who

custom was followed on magnificent
scale by succeeding emperors, Nero giving
such prizes as q house or slave Heno-

ity, one ticket in his distribution calling per-

The Italian merchants of the middle ages
used lotteries for the distribution of their
wares The government. or Florence, IN
1880, instituted money lcttery for the bene-
fit of the state and in Venice. half cent
ury later lotteries existed under public con-
troll From that time many European
states resorted TO the lottery as a means or
raising a revenue. The first lottery in Eng
land was established in 1869 for the repair
of harbors, and was soon followed by an
other for the benefit Of the Virginia colony.
AS already noticed the lottery was from
the very first settling OF the government
OF this country a familiar means of raising
funds and UP to 1920 at least seventy acts
were passed by Congress authorizing lot
teries for various public purposes But the
to many scandalous abuses aroused public
opinion against them, and a society was
formed in Pennsylvania in 1853 to advocate
their suppression. This society led a strong
crusade against the lottery principle, and
it's efforts were ultimately rewarded by the
passage of acts in most of the states en-
tirely prohibiting the establishment of any
thing having the nature of lottery.
