PENSION BOARD.

Two weeks ago the Herald and
Tribune announced the pension board
as agreed on blythe slate makers, and
expressed regret hat the leading
Democrats of this place had been
ignored. Ex- Governor Taylor has
some friends here who hope to see
him succeed Senator Harris, and it
is believed that the publication in
the Herald and Tribune aroused
them to action.
At all events it is said something
like the following took place at
Washington. Parties present: Hoke
Smith and Bob Taylor. Subject.
Pension Board at johnson City.
Our Bob. II have been a member
of Congress; twice Governor of my
State; was elector for State at large
last year; don't want any Office
myself, but want to know if I have
any influence with this administra-
ton. Can 1 suggest or name any
Democrat to be appointed to
Office" This was evidently said
with blood in his eye, for Hoke wilt
ed and report says told Mr.. Taylor
to name his men for the Pension
Board and they should be appointed.
At all events the slate was mashed
and our Bob returned with Com
missions for Drs. r. L. Patton,
Paul W. kirkpatrick and E. E. Mil
Ter, as members of the new Pension
Board. While sympathising with
the defeated, we congratulate the
new board and hope they may win
crowns Of respect from the pension
ers and the Government.

Tom Remine arrived home from Nor

Mr.. X. says: now for the corn. All
right says Mr.. X; SO we went to the
sidebox of an old style Wagon bed
and took therefrom an a of corn
which had been there for nineteen
years; about half the grains are blue
others white. A few grains had been
shelled from the ear from which stalks
of corn are now growing in Mr.. XII
garden. This corn was raised by Mr.
Kyker's SON. When but a child about
five or six years of age, he came tc
his father in o new ground and aided
him in cleaning up, throwing thu
trash in a burning stump after which
he asked and was permitted to plant 9

. CONFIDENCE

Under this caption the Nashville
Banner says:
There are promising indications OF i'm
proved financial conditions and a resto-
ration of the normal business status.
There has been a good deal of unnecssa-
~ excitement and unjustiiable appre-
h%ension, and very much humbug in
the ~scare-crow theories of threatened
financial CONFUSION. Wall street
sharks and political demagogues have
contributed largely to encourage doubt
and distrust, for it is by the shaking of
public confidence in the stability OF
the financial foundation that stock
gamblers and political agitators hope
to secure the richest rewards.
What we need-and we honestly be-
lieve, all we need at present to bring
back the better times is a return of con
fidence. There is money enough in
the country to make business brisk and
set a going the thousand activities that
have been checked. All that isneeded
is to put the money in the channels OF
circulation, to take it out of the old
socks and private safes, and deposit II
in the banks. If all the people who
have money will put it in the bank
and If those who have ne money would
evince the neighborly feeling of conf
dence, we would have good times right
away. At such a time as this every
man who gives a hopeful view of the
situation is a real benefactor, and every
croaker who takes pleasure in predict
ing evil is an enemy of society.
"a return of confidence, that is
the sum and substance of our pres
ent needs. This no one ques
tons. How shall it The accomplished
One party says repeal the Sherman
law. Another says free coinage

ey may be the condition required tc

BRISTOL ~POS7OFFICE.

DIID FlOE.
A. G. Harklerode, it is said has
been endorsed for Postmaster of
Bristol by Senator Bate, who seems
to have fallen heir to such p%atronae Q
in the first district. tits understood
that this endorsement is at the re-
quest of Hon. John /. Cox, who
supported Mr. Bate in the Senatorial
caucus, against East Tennessee's ia
vorite son, Hon. Robert Taylor.
Charles H. Slack, in the opinion
of many leading Democrats, is the
man above all others, who ought to
have hat piece of pie. 1t was his
paper, the Bristol Courier, M of
the brightest papers in Tennessee,
that made the fight against a prima-
ry in Sullivan County on the Sena-
torial question. But for this, a pri-
mary would have instructed Mr..
Cox to support Ex-Governor Taylor
for U. S. Senator. If Senator Bate
felt under obligation therefore to
any one for the part Sullivan County
played in his nomination over Elk
Governor Taylor, it strikes a disin.
terested observer that it should be
to Chas. H. Slack, and not Mr..
Harklerode.
Mr.. Harklerode may be an excel
lent gentleman, but those who have
born the heat and burden of Demo
cratic campaigns are asking the
question, who is Harklerodei On
the other hand Chas. H. Slack is
known far and wide as one of the
most active and energetic workers
in the party, whose appointment
would be hailed with delight by
thousands of personal and political
friends throughout the State. VIII,
Senator Bate will go back on him il
hard for an outsider to understand
especially since it is reported tina
MI. Harklerode moved from Vance
Tank to Bristol since the Novembe
election in order to enable Mr.. Co
