MORNING STAR.

Old Sol beaming down in a business
way. Warmer weather and warm
showers are much needed to hasten
the late spring crops. Corn has an
average OF a little more than an aver
age stand, hence not much replant
ing. Glover and grasses are very
trihing, too cold for clover and grass,
Wheat is hardly fair. We think not
more than one half of usual crop
sown last fall and further believe it
will not make more than u half of
last years average. This would re-
duce the present growing crop to be
one fourth of last years crop. Others
have different views on the wheat
crop. This locality will not have
blackberries this year. Some peaches
and apples in favored localities. h.
M. K. Deakins recently visited his
friend and former partner j. W..
Bayless, of Athens. Notwithstanding
one eats the Republican corn dodger
of protection and the other the De..i"o-
cratic free trade west wind, on most
all other matters they are one. Fin
ancial affairs are unusually close and
nothing visible in near future to better
them. 1t is our opinion that the worst
financial stringency OF years is now ut
hand and all will do well to begin
a vigorous retrenchment. The failure
of the Citizens Bank at johnson City,
has brought out more bank enquiries
from the farmers than ever heretofore.
Her. let it be rememered that it has
not been many years since the first
bank was organized in Washington
County and even now, but few farmers
know anything about the laws govern
ing banking The Citizens Bank of
johnson City was a State bank. 1t
looks too that there is needed legisla-
ton in our State laws on State and
private banking. Depositors want
protection. The laws of our State do not
protect depositors in a state bank be-
yond the assets of the bank. In a
national bank the depositors are
secured, not only by the assets of the
bank but if necessary the comptroller
of the currency may assess each stock
holder for an amount of stock held by
such stakeholder. Thus we see u
national bank is doubly secured and
timid depositors might do well to note
this double security. MORNING STAR.

MILL.

On account of the cold rains and
backwardness of the spring our farm
ers have had difficulty in securing a
good stand of corn the recent warm
days and showers are Fastening along
the replants. The prospect for a good
yield Of wheat is excellent. A large
corn crop has been planted. Fruit and
berries are a failure. James M. Gar
Der, who was burned out lately, has q
much better house nearly completed.
Isaac Carroll, Jr., is building u resi-
dence. Henry Miller is improving his
barn. A new school house will be put
up at Kyker's. A phi Green, a poor,
honest, handwriting man, lost his only
team last week. He has the sympathy
of all. Uncle Sidney Meveric, an aged
and respected colored man, lost his wife
by death last week. Miss Pearl CARRIER
spent several days in johnson City last
week. Owing to stoppage Of work ON

The evidence in the DuBose i'm
parchment trial was closed last Fri
day. Argument of counsel com
menced on Saturday; each side be-
ing allowed fifteen hours. AS the
Senate will hardly listen to more
than 6 or s hours of legal %eloquence
a day, the case is not likely to reach
a finaldecision before the last of this
week. We believe the verdict will
be not guilty. That is to say, w
do not believe two thirds of the
Senate will vote to sustain TIN
charges, upon the evidence befor'
them.

The Second District having open
ed the political ball by the for
NAL announcement of Messrs.
Houk and Gibson for Congress, it
will be in order for this district to
get u move on her, and find out
where she is at. The columns OF
the Herald and Tribune will be open
to it's patrons to express their views
on the political issues OF the day,
and to say a word now and then
for the candidates of their choice,
but under no circumstances will we
engage, or allow the s of our col
umns for any one else, to engage in
abuse or denunciation of any Re
publican who may aspire to office in
the next contest. Let us have q
genteel friendly contest, where q con.
test becomes necessary, andthe nomi
nees will be sure of n united party
vote ut the ballot box.

The compensation of U. s. Mar
shall and his deputies depends mainly
upon fees earned in executing the
process issued by the U. S. Courts
and their Commissioners. True the
Marshal has a nominal salary of
5000, per year and commissions OF
two per cent. on the public funds
disbursed by him, but to make the
Sc, 900 allowed him by law, re-
quires an efficient corps OF deputies
The fewer efficient deputies the bet
ter for them. A big list of deputies
may mean $4,000 to the Marshal
but it means little for the deputies
yet there seems to be a large mum
Der who desire to be deputies.

ALTHOUGH perfect peace and quiet
reigns throughout the State, with
open courts and civil officers to en-
force the law; yet a Democratic
Governor permits a standing army
to remain ON duty at a heavy and
unnecessary expense to the tax
payers of Tennessee. 1t would be
cheaper to arrest all the miners and
bind them to keep the peace, than
to maintain an army as q meanace
to our civil law. The Democratic
party for years has denounced mill
tary usurpation and interference in
civil affairs, yet II State is the
camping ground of a military force
retained in service under pay when
there is no longer even an excuse for
it's presence to preserve the peace

The right of suffrage in Belgium
until a few weeks ago was limited to
$780, 600 voters. The demamnd for
al ~extinsion of this right has been
granted, and the list of voters en-
larged to 100000, having the right
to cast about 1000, 900 votes. This
result is to be obtained by allowing
single men under 35 years old one
vote, while married men and those
over 30 years of age will be per-
mitted to cast two votes. As our
people have gone to Australia for
model election laws, we commend to
their consideration the fanchise law
OF Belgium believing that the OPP
ponents of female suffrage could not
seriously object to this unique way
of enfranchising married women
whose votes are to be expressed at
the ballot box by their husbands.

tics, but from careful inquiry Hon. w.
P. Brownlow seems to be the almost
unanimous choice of the Republicans
for Congress. Mr.. Taylor expresses
himself as satisfied with his present
term, and will not be in the way. This
leaves an open field for Mr.. Brownlow,

For the first time since 1861, the
Democratic party is in possession of
the Government, and instead of
standing off and criticising their
opponents is forced to assume all
the responsibilities, and be held ac-
countable for all the misfortunes
incident to a change of administra.
ton from one political party to IN
other. That the depression prevail
ing throughout the country has been
intensified by this change, there is
no doubt. II President Cleveland
shall succeed in removing the de-
preston and restore prosperity to
the people by a wise and patriotic
administration, he will not only de-
serve but receive the approval Of the
masses, without regard to party.

Democratic party have the effect

If the people of the country sur
rounding this town knew the merits
of the Jonesboro Graded School as
those who have patronized it, it
would be useless for drummers for
other schools to enter this territory.
Having no interest in the enter
prise, not even a request to speak Il
word in its behalf, it yet gives lis
pleasure to commend this school to
any n wishing to have the benefit
of its superior advantages. If the
old town has nothing but her anti
guilty and public school, she is GER
tainly proud of both. But we have
also fine churches, elegant homes,
splendid society and more widows
and pretty girls than any town of
its size on the main line.
