The comet. (Johnson City, Tenn.) 1884-1916, 1893-07-06

There has never been a time when
our countrymen should be more So
erly reminded that they can not safely
delegate their duties and obligation
OF citizenship nor neglect to cultivate
their individual and personal interest
in public affairs. If those who now
celebrate the anniversary of American
independence guard against the sordid
Struggle
FOR UNEARNEDswEALTH
that stiles patriotism, if they exact
from public servants the strictest &C
countability in the performance Of
public duties, if they hold fast to the
American ideas that work is honor
able and economy is virtue, if they
insist that there should be honesty
and cleanliness in politics and if they
refuse to encourage expedients that
endanger foreign or national finances,
those who follow us viii joyously cele-
brate the day in centuries yet to come
Yours very truly,
GROVER CLEVELAND.

"I Amt Built That Way"

ANYBODY can be Democrat when
there IL no work TO do for that party.
and when its advocates and supporters
are in full sympathy with the people OF
every section and every neighborhood.
1t requires some grit" however, to be
n Democrat when lowering clouds hover
over that honored party, and the victims
Of Republican misrule are inclined TO
come too easily to the conclusion that
they are the victims of Democratic mis-
rule. We have no doubt that the Demo-
Gratis will carry Virginia in November.
There is no good reason for having a
doubt on that point. But there Is reason
for fearing that the Democratic majority
of last year may be cut down. But If
Won are one of the men who finch in the
hour of adversely and turn a cold Shout
der to your old party friends. you will
regret your new departure as long as
you live. You will always feel as II you
had been a traitor to Democratic prlnci-
pies and Democratic rule. and allied
OF good government.
The gross injustice OF holding the DEM
ocratic party responsible for the sins OF
their opponents. and voting with the party
that brought the hard times upon the
country, instead OF with the sufferers
from those hard times. Is so manifest,
that 1t ought to require no argument
nothing but statement OF the facts
to enable every true man to see the mat
ter in the right light.
Look into this matter. We sulking DEM
ocrats and see for yourselves that your
duty to your party and to your country
requires Of you a verdict against the
Republicans and the Populists, and for
the Democrats and the principles Of JEFF
ferson and Jackson.
II anybody asks you why. with all your
grumbling against the Democrats. you
don't vote the Republican ticket answer,
in the words OF one Of the best Democrats
in the land. Il amt built that way"

The Federal Election-Laws.

The Populists denounce the Anderson
Mccormick law in one breath, and in
the next declare that they expect to elect
the operation Of that law. Either the
law is not what they represent 1t to be,
or else they are simply Dragging when
they say they hope TO carry SO many
elections under its operation.
But the fact Is that when the Populists
denounce the Anderson Nc Cormick law.
they simply take up the cry Of the Re-
publicans and make Gathering opposi-
ton, which pleases the Republicans and
IS expected to induce them to vote with
the Populists. The cry is n Republican
cry. The voice is the voice of Jacob. but
a disguise Is worn by him In order that
he may secure the inherited property be-
longing to Esau.
This denunciation Of the Anderson-Mc-
Cormick law may be understood by the
Republicans as indicating that the Popu-
lists are In favor Of the Federal election
laws, Of which the Democrats in Congress
are now trying to secure the repeal Let
our Democratic speakers press the Popu-
lists on This point. Are the latter
In favor OF the repeal of the Anderson
Mccormick law, and opposed to the re-
peal OF the odious Federal election-laws?
Are these Populists "winking and blink
ing at the Republicans when they de-
nounce the Virginia law? And do the
latter understand thereby that the Popu-
lists will ioin hands With tho Renuhli-
cans In preventing the repeal of the hate
full, oppressive. unconstitutional Federal
election-laws?

include. It Is said, repeal OF the pur-
chasing clause, to take effect OCTOBER l.

and the seigniorage now in the Treasury
shall be coined and that greenbacks ana
Treasury-notes under $40 In value snaii
be retired and silver certificates or coined

Colonel Storms Forthcoming Report
Tho Petersburg Guns.
Colonel 10. Lane Stern. the assistant
Inspector general, has completed his work
of reviewing the State militia, and in a
few weeks he will forward his annual
report to the Acting Acknowledgement
The report would have been finished
some time ago, but the Colonel has been
suffering from severe pain In his eye,
which retarded his work
During the past year the infantry
forces of Virginia have been increased
by nearly three hundred recruits, while,
on the other hand, there has been a slight
decrease in the cavalry and artillery.
Four new companies Of infantry and
two new troops OF cavalry have been
mustered into the service.
Colonel Stern, In his report. will re-
commend the transfer Of several COM
panies from the Fourth to the Third
Regiment. This change will be made in
order to put some of the recently-or-
ganized companies into the Fourth Regl-
ment.
The Petersburg Index-Appeal, in its
issue of yesterday. says: By order of
Acting Adjutant- General Charles j. An
derson, the four Napoleon 12-pounder
guns, which have been here since 1875,
are to be sent to Richmond. The guns.
caissons, etc., were packed yesterday,
and will be shipped on Monday next.
These guns came TO Petersburg from
New York. They were first in possession
Of the Petersburg artillery.
Shortly after the disbandment OF that
company the r. Il. Lee Battery Of artil-
lery was organized. and they took charge
OF the pieces. This battery disbanded
about two years ago, and since then the
guns have been stored away In the gun
house. on Tabb street.
The harness of the disbanded battery
will likewise be brought here and put in
thorough repair.

The Richmond Dispatch scouts at the

"allow the several States to flood the
country with wildcat banks. and food

of such election I'm each voting place In
his county or corporation at least ten
days before the election.
The regular elections will take place

The Hon. John z. Massey practically
spiked the guns OF Mr.. Grayely Thurs
day evening in their joint discussion.
when, turning to the young gentleman
from Henry who is the Populist candi-
date for Attorney-General. he said: Il
think I am not mistaken In saying that
you have always been Republican,
Mr.. Gravely answered demurely. II be-
longed to that party" So II Is. To sup
port Populist Is to support Republican
ism. There is no other meaning for It in
Virginia. The Republican party is the
snake and the Populist party is the toad
just about half swallowed already.-Nor-

This Is the whole case In q nutshell.
