AMONG OUR EXCHANGES.

Greeneville Republican: When a
Democrat tries to tell you that his party
is not responsible for the hard times,
don't he mess it? How much better he
would feel if he only believed what he
was telling? He would not then have
to look toward the mountains"
Knoxville Journal: Democratic
leaders do not know whether to take
a recess or adjourn Congress. If a recess
is had they may not be able to draw
mileage when they return to the De-
cember session. If they adjourn they
can draw mileage. And mileage is a
patent arrangement with them.
Republican Banner: A visit in upper
Granger Sunday evening last verifes
our statement that Brownlow and Tyler
have the people with them.
Knoxville Republican: Hoke Smiths
dark lantern methods in the Pension
Office are in startling. contrast to the
promised glazing publicity in all de-
partments which was to characterize
the advent of a Democratic admins
tration.
Mountaineer: The fine barn of j. NJ.
Simmons, at Milligan, was totally de-
stroyed by fire last. Saturday night.
Beside the winters supply of feed, Mr..
Simmons lost a COW, drill, corn planter
and a nice lot of harness. 1t is thought
to have been the work Of an incendiary
and is the second barn burned in that
district within the last three weeks.

will get good prices for their poultry if
they will have them fat and not be too
anxious to sell. Prices paid for the

WASHINGTON COLLEGE.

DIR. Willoughby, Miss Matte Rankin
and DR.. Dobson were at Chattanooga a
few days last week attending the meet
ing of the Synod of Tennessee of the
Presbyterian Church. Friday October
Goth, about twenty of the college boys,
in company with President Cooter took
a trip to the Rich Mountains; the OBJ
ject being a chestnut hunt. They re-
turned Saturday afternoon with a very
tired expression on their faces. 1t hav-
ing rained Friday night they were
forced to camp out" on the mountain
top by a log heap" Yes, they got
some chestnuts-for only 10 cents per
gallon. On the same day the young
ladies of the college were invited to
Prof. McClure's for dinner. The invi-
tation was accepted by the most of them
and a real pleasant day was spent
there. The RECKLESS youth" of the
Hill have recently organized two base
ball mines and are now ready to break
bones with neighboring clubs. The
kiln containing the brick for the cree
ton of the new church here, was fired
October %, and closed out Saturday
night. Quite a crowd were present to
witness the closing work. Luther Ben
son, the temperance gaint, delivered
two excellent lectures in tie college
chapel recently. Miss Louise Wardlaw,
our accomplished musical directress,
has been quite ill for several days, but
is now improving. She has been greatly
missed during her indisposition. A
joint entertainment will be given by
the Literary Societies on Thanksgiving
eve, consisting of a debate, recitations,
essays, etc. Come. E. D. Henley, a
former merchant of Broylesville, has
rented the vacant store room in the
Moore Block on Water street, and will
soon open up a first class stock of goods.
Frank Truan and bride, of Knoxville,
were on the Hill a few days recently
visiting his sisters who are in college.
Frank is a splendid fellow and has Sc
cured an excellent partner for life.
The marriage was solemnized in Broad
Street Methodist Church, Knoxville, by
the pastor, DR.. Richardson. After a few
days spent in visiting friends in differ
ent places, they return to Knoxville to
make their future home, and quietly
settle down to the new, happy life
which we trust awaits them. LYNDIN.

COLD FLOODED MURDER.

Hon. Carter H. Harrison, Mayor of
Chicago, was murdered in his own home
Saturday evening by Eugene Patrick
Pendergast, who was admitted by a
servant to see Mr.. Harrison and who
without a word of warning shot his
victim three times, from the effects of
which Mr.. Harrison died in twenty
minutes. The murderer escaped from
thu house and gave himself up to the
police, saying he killed Mr.. Harrison
because he promised him an Office and
failed to comply with his promise. The
opinion prevails that Pendergast was
insane.

viding means by which they became
sharers in the general prosperity of the
country, and were enabled to build
homes for their families, schools for
their children and surround themselves
with all that goes to make life desira-
BILE. AT last this party succeeded il
getting possession of every branch of
the general Government and at once the
people saw what they had done, RELAXED
the mistake they had made, and woe
befel them. When they saw that the
party they had placed in power was
fully committed to the repeal of the
legislation under which they had grown
great as u nation and prosperous beyond
precedent as a people, the scales fell
from their eyes and they saw clearly
the result of their work and discovered
the enormity of their error. Then fol
lowed the shutting down of industries.
Fires went out in furnaces, machinery
stood idle in III factories, prices of ag-
ricultural products fell to an almost
unheard of figure, men stood idle on
the streets, sidetracks were filled with
empty cars no longer needed because
there was nothing to ship want and
hunger stalked through the land and
poverty stared thousands of once pros
porous laborers in the face. And does
any n for a moment believe that it
was the result of Republican legisla-
ton? Not one. But all know it was
the threatened repeal of the laws that
had blessed the land and prot ,cted our
people.
1t is useless to undertake to make the
people believe that the present deplora-
BILE condition of business is due to any
other cause than the elevation of the
Democratic party to power. 1t is, as it
ever has been, opposed to the CONNER
cial progress of this country as against
our foreign competitors, and is as fully
committed to the destruction of Ameri-
can enterprise and home industry as is
any of the European powers who are
now and have been its political SYM
pathizers.

THE SIMPLE TRU IH.

Many Democratic papers are doing
all they can to convince themselves
and the public that the distressful con-
dition of business the country over is
due entirely to the effectof thirty years
of Republican legislation. Not one of
these papers believe what they say, nor
does any thinking, reasoning person
agree with them. That we have had
thirty years of Republican legislation
is a fact. 1t is also a fact that during
that time our country has grown and
prosperei to such an extent as to attract
the attention of the nations of the earth,
n earn for our people and their indus
tries the most unstinted praise possible
from commercial antagonists. Such
an era of business prosperity as we were
in the midst of before the meeting of
the Democratic Convention in Chicago
in 1892, was unknown to any people
before that time. Not an idle laborer,
not a silent factory, not a furnace fine
banked in all our broad land; railroads
crowded with traffic, in fact not able to
handle the business offered them, every
manufacturing center a scene of &C.
tivity, and every workman's home the
abode of peace, plenty and content
ment. Our merchants were selling
more goods than ever before, the farm
ers were reaping ample rewards for the
labor of their hands-in fact all our
people were happy and prosperous. All
this under legislation enacted by the
Republican party, and to whose wise
and patriotic acts and measures the
country vas indebted for all the many
blessings it was enjoying.
If the present sorrowful condition of
affairs is due to Republican legislation,
will some one please tell us why it was
not felt long a~go-five, ten or twenty
years SINGER Why was the evil day
postponed so long, and what finally
brought about the direful change-a
change from overlooking abundance
and cheerful prosperity to absolute
want and positive prostration of all
business. Surely the legislation under
which the country had made such won.
derfuf progress had not lost its power
for good nor shown signs of failure to
protect and foster our people and their
enterprise. Not at all.
For more than a quarter of a century
a political party had been appealing to
the people to again put il into control
of the Government, and had worked
upon the prejudices and passions of the
people by all means known to the poll
tician to create dissatisfaction with
their condition, new isms were sprung,
and the seeds of discomfort sown by
willing and open hands among a people
too busy with the material things of
life to give much heed to politics, trust
ing largely to socalled leaders to mark
out the way for them to follow, until
they were led to believe themselves i'm
posed upon by the men who were pro-

CHERRY VI.

Rev. John B. Walker, Circuit Court
Clerk of Green County, was born and
raised in this county near Sulphur
Springs C%ampground, and as a citizen
and minister of the gospel no man
was more highly respected; he never
aspired to POLITICAL honors here, OF we
dare say h, would have received them
as he did in Greene County, and filled
his office with honor to himself and his
party, as his record shows he has done.
We learn that Mr.. Walker will be a
candidate for reelection to succeed
himself and we think the Republicans
of Greene County would be acting
wisely to give him the mex race know
ing victory would follow. Miss Good,
of Cedar Lane, was visiting relatives
and friends in this section the past

der of the evenings in this section.

measures of public interest that demand
solution at the hands of the Senate, but
this bill stands in the way. One is,
whether you shall continue the pur-
chase of silver bullion. On that honest
men may differ. 1 believed in that
policy, and wanted to giveitthe longest
and most beneficial experience. We
have tried it, and, according to our
humble judgment, we think that on the
whole it is not wise to continue it
farther. We have now $40, 200, 900 of
silver dollars coined, or we have the
bullion to coin it. We have besides
$27 ,O00, 900 of silver coined and in wide
circulation us what is called subsidiary
coin. We have silver bullion enough
to supply all that a be coined in the
next two or three years. Therefore, we
acquiesce in the representation of the
President that the purchase of silver
bullion tends to create a disturbance
in the markets of the world and tends
to excite q want of confidence in our
ability to maintain a parity of gold and
silver. W. have tried the experiment
and we believe that it has failed. The
price of silver has decreased, notwith-
standing the enormous purchases of it

This is not a proposition to demone-
tie silver. We have more silver now
in the United States than we ever had
before in our whole previous history.
No n proposes to disturb that silver.
On the contrary, we would be glad to
join with our friends on the other side
of the chamber 10 increase the subsid-
larry coin. That, l believe, is the coin
which the people of this country desire
rather than large dollars; and any
other measure which tends to promote
the use of silver we are ready and will
ling to help. The President suggests,
however, that the best Measure is first
kill all the present silver purchase laws.
We think 80, too. But the other side
does not think SO, and their vote is
potent. They have the matter in their
hands. Let them agree upon some
thing.
I'm times past we the Republicans)
never shrunk for responsibility. We
were Republicans because we believed
in Republican principles and men and
measures. But whenever a question
came up that had to be decided, we
never pleaded the baby act, or said
that we could not agree. We met to-
gether in conclave and there agreed,
and in that way we passed all the great
laws which have marked American
history in the last thirty years. Of
course Democrats opposed 40. l think
that if the Republicans were to offer
the Ten Commandments or the Lords
Prayer the Democrats would oppose
them" Laughter

n way or the other. If you 1.-THE

from the Senate chamber we will fix
it on this side of the chamber, and do
the best we can with our silver friends

But yours is the proper duty and.

or anger, to perform it. You have the

this question now, and you ought to do
it. That is all that l can say"
