ACCORDING to recent Washing
ton gossip the situation Of the Re-
publican hold-overs in Office has
assumed a condition bordering on
the desperate, but they will refuse
to resign. Republican Senators
and Congressman propose to force
the removal Of the Harrisonian
contingent by sending out word to
the Republican ofice-holders to
hold their Offices and not resign.
But the policy Of the administra-
ton seemed to have been settled in
this matter, and Republicans will
not be disturbed for the full four
years, dating from time Of confirm
alton HARRISON had no such con-
sideration for Democrats when he
became President. For instance,
Judge McCoRRY, attorney for West
Tennessee, and Hon. G. B. HowRY,
who held the sameposition in North
Mississippi, were telegraphed for
their designations, and SO was Hon,
ERNEST PILLOW, of Middle Ten
nessee, who had two years to serve
in like capacity. Such was the
course pursued by HARRISON, not
only in the South, but throughout
the entire country. AS it is now,
changes, in many cases, might be
made sooner, if the State delega-
tions would agree as to whom they
would recommend. The Arkansas
delegation agreed and the result
was clean sweep of the Republi-
cans from one end of the State to
the other and good Democrats are
now serving in their stead.

A SPLENDID argument against
the "bucket shop" gambling evil
is the wrecking Of three Nashville
banks, which is directly traceable to
the indiscreet and repeated advent
ures of the officials of the defunct
banks. Such acondition is due, il,
a measure, to the looseness Of our
banking laws, which are acknowl-
edged to be a discredit to the State
But now that public attention has
been directed to the evil, this class
of gamblers have been compelled
to roost high in order to avoid ex-
tinction.

The Nashville Banner, which has
a penchant for calling to time any
State officer or assemblyman who
proves careless in the management
of affairs under his jurisdiction or
recreant to his duties and obliga-
tions to the people, has introduced
further evidence Of the careless
manner in which the affairs OF State
were conducted during the last adj
ADMINISTRATION. 1t seems that there
was something wrong about that
$I,OO0,O00 bundle of valid Tennes-
see securities left at the Bank OF the
Republic, in New York, which are
said to have been kicked about the
the bank enclosure for a whole year
as worthless and unreceipted-for
bundle of papers. "But it must be
said" continues the Banner, that
there has been no convincing and
satisfactory evidence presented by
anybody to show that those securi-
ties Of the State we're left for more
than twelve months in a state of
negligence and innocuous desue-
tude." Nevertheless they were left
like SO much worthless paper while
the State held nothing in the way
of a receipt or acknowledgment to
show that she had a claim upon the
bonds.

HEAVY frosts fell. in this section
both Saturday and Sunday morn
ings, doing great damage to tender
vegetables and young corn. 1t is
thought that the peach crop has not
been seriously injured, but straw
berries have been more or less in
jured, and from all reports it will
be necessary to replant the cotton
crop. A great many Of our farmers
have replanted their corn during
the past week.

NO OCCASION FOR ALARM.


In regard to the repeated state
ments through the press that there
have been grave discussions in Mr..
CLEvELAND's Cabinet, and the ru-
mored determination on the part of
Secretary CARLISLE to resign, the
President submitted to an inter
view Saturday in which he gave his
views on the gold question. He
says that there have been some diff
ferences of opinion between Secre-
tary CARLISLE and himself over the
issuance Of bonds to replenish the
depleted Treasury gold reserve, but
that those differences have all been
adjusted, and that no bonds will.
for the present, at least, be issued.
He says that the gold reserve Will
be used to meet all demands made
upon the Treasury until the reserve
is reduced to, say $40,000,0O0, if
necessary, and that the issuance Of
bonds will be made only as a last
resort. Mr.. CLEVELAND says that
the present condition of the Treas
ury is due to pernicious legislation,
over which the Democratic party
had no control, and that by careful
administration of the finances the
Treasury will soon be on a sound
basis again. He declares that there
is no occasion for alarm, and says:
The inclination on the part of the pub
lie to accept newspaper reports concern
ing the intentions of those charged with
the management Of our national finances
seems to justify my emphatic contradic-
ton of the statement that the redemption
of any kind of Treasury notes, except in
gold, has at any time been determined
upon or contemplated by the Secretary of
the Treasury or any other member of the
present administration.
Ehe Presidenta and his Cabinet are abso-
iutely harmonious in the determination
to exercise every power conferred upon
them to maintain the public credit, to
keep the public faith and to preserve the
parity between gold and silver in all f.
nancial obligations of the Government.
While the law of $780, forcing the pur-
chase of a fixed amount of silver every
month, provides that the Secretary of the
Treasury, in his discretion, may redeem
notes given in payment Of silver purchas-
es, yet the declaration of the policy of the
Government to maintain the parity be.
tween the two metals seems so clearly tc
regulate this discretion as to dictate theil
redemption in gold.
OF course, perplexities and difficulties
have grown out of an unfortunate Gaan
cial policy which we found in vogue, anC
embarrassments have arisen from ilI-ad
vised financial legislation confronting US
atevery turn, but with cheerful confidence
, among the people and patriotic DISPOSE
ton to operate, threatened dangers will
be averted pending a legislative return Il
better and sounder financial plan.
The strong credit Of the country still
, unimpaired, and the good sense Of ou
people, which has never failed in time o
need, are at hand to save us from disaster

THRAsHER HAS NO CASE.
IL is not Thought Congress.wiIl EnteFtain
His Contest.


His Contest.
Jackson special to Memphis Commercially
The ten days allowed Thrasher in which
to secure proof in rebuttal in his contest
case with Hon, Benjamin a. Enloe for
his seat IN Congress have expired, and
the work is to begin in few days on the
printing OF the briefs and other materials
preparatory to sending them to Congress
to be investigated
Thrasher has had a very weak case from
the beginning, and since all the proof has
been secured on both sides his. chances
to dispossess Enloe are less than ever, as
Enloe's counsel has not only defeated
rhrasher's own charges, but sustained
the charges against Thrasher, and shown
wherein fraud OF very seriousnature has
been practiced in several counties.
AS Thrasher's case was such a weak
one it is thought that his only idea in con-
testing for Enloe's seat in Congress was
to secure the s., 900 which is usually APP
propriated by Congress for such cases,
but as the Contestant must have proof Of
sufficient Importance to justify Congress
to 60 to the expense of an investigation,
Thrasher may not get the appropriation.
This contest isthe termination of a long
and bitter fight against iEsniue. Raum.
of pension fraud notoriety, did all he
could to defeat him in the last election on
account Of the searching light Enloe
turned upon his official acts, and sent
large sums Of money into this district te
carry out his plans. but Enloe has gotten
even with him on that score BY securing
his resignation.

Does not common justice demand
that the silver held in the Treasury
be treated as cash in fact-iust as
it is in law and used to meet the
obligations Of the Government in
issuing the Sherman legal tender
notes on deposits Of silver bullion?
If silver is good enough to issue the
notes on how and why does it almost
Immediately after issuance cease to
be sufficiently good enough to take
them up in? These are questions
which have been brought about by
a condition which is the result of
a Republican policy over which
the Democrats had no control to
create a debt against the people
which they must meet by borrow
ing gold and paying interest there
on, Is it possible to conceive of a
more absurd policy, which, itseems
to us, must lead to ruin if followed
out to its logical conclusion. Now,
if the Secretary of the Treasury
continues the redemption in gold
Of the legal tender silver certificates
issued under the Sherman act of
1890, it will be impossible to keep
gold in the Treasury, and there will
be no limit to the amount of gold
he will be compelled to borrow for
the taxpayers to pay interest on.
But the people have implicit con-
fdence in Mr.. CARLIsLE's ability to
steer clear of any breakers which
are intended to embarrass the new
administration. Speaking editori-
ally to this subject, the st. Louis
Republic says;
The country looks to Secretary CARLISLE
to show that he is thoroughly master Of
what is, after all, a very simple situation
The question is, "Shall silver certificates
be paid in silver or shall the people be
taxed to raise gold to pay them in?" Il
all the money in the country coined from
silver or based on silver is to be treated as
a debt payable in gold when the stock o
GOLD is so small and when gold is already
atsuch high premium as compared viii
silver, then we are very close to col
lapse, and we will have small chance o
escaping it. But ii silver money is casl
(and not evidence of debit, as the laws o
the land say it is, then all there is to dc
now is to take up the Sherman silver Ger
tifcates in the silver they are issued on
We have no doubt Mr.. CARLISLE will d.
that. We do not believe that he can b,
induced by any amount of pressure t.
consent to the issuance of bonds withou
the authority Of Congress, nor will he g
on allowing the Treasury to be raided TO
gold as part Of the scheme of specula
ton made legal, but not the less fraudu
lent, by the Sherman act.
There is nothing to be alarmed about il
the condition of the finances. Mr.. CAR
Isle viii not allow himself to he used b
the gold ring, which is now operating I'm
der the Sherman bullion deposit act. H
can stop them by paying in silver all note
issued on silver, and we believe he can b
relied on to do it.

MoNSERATTE IS HERE.
Turns Over the S. A. P.
to Him,

AS the LIGHT announced that he
would, the general manager of the
Arkansas Pass railway arrived last
evening, and this morning was for
mally installed as general manager
of the ). \. p. When he arrived on
the regular train of the S. A. p,
which was in charge of Conductor
Nash, he came without OstentatiOn,
and on reaching the Menger hotel,
registered as a resident of his new
home, the Sunset city, the register
simply showing the inscription:
an. ID. MOnseratte, City," This
morning a reporter for the LIGHT
was introduced to him at the ticket
office of the Southern Pacific rail-
way, where he was busiIy engaged
in sending some kilograms. Mr..
MOnSeratte, who has not been a
very frequent visitor, is a gentle
man of medium size, with de-
cided French cast of cOuntenance,
and wears the regulation Ma
pOleOnic gOatee.
He was attired in a plain grey
tweed suit and white straw hat,
was very quiet, unaSSuming and
courteous, just such a gentleman
whose prototype is to be seen at
any time on Canal or CarOndelet
street, in New Orleans during bust
ness hours. Shortly after he called
on Assistant Manager Peck, Of the
Arkansas Pass railway, and that
gentleman placed him in the seat
at the general managers desk and
the two gentlemen We're busy con-
VerSing on affairs of the road when
a reporter of the LIGHT called at
the general office of the :. A. 2. and
found them in consultation. Mr..
MOnSeratte will remain in the city
a day or so and then in company
with Mr.. Peck, take trip over the
road and all of it's branches, which
he will thoroughly inspect. He
will not announce his appOintees
as heads of departments for the
present but is likely to do so
within very few days, and
probably on his return from
his inspection tour, and it is likely
that Mr.. Joseph Mcmillan will be
in charge of the traffic of the road
although no official intimatiOn has
yet been made of that matter.
The employees in the various de-
paTtments are all on the anxious
seat as it is likely that a number
OF changes are to be made, what
these changes will be is a matter
OF great uncertainty, but the per-
sons involved in the uncertainty
are likely to know their fates in a
very short time.

He has been accused of making

prominent people in the city and
the young man had but little

which has involved him in several
scrapeS before, but never so serions-
ly as in the present one. AS his
parents as well as those of the
young lady are prominent in all
humanitarian and charitable en-
terprises, and as the officers have
not yet located the whereabouts of
the young man the LIGHT with
holds their names from publica-
ton, not DESTROYS to add to an
affection already too severe, and in
which they have the sympathy Of
