AN OUTSIDERS VIEW.

We gather from the tone of the
Maryville paper and the comment
thereon by the Knoxville Journal that
many of the faithful Republicans in
loyal Blount want their favorite son,
Thos. N. Brown to become a candi-
date for Congress in the end district.
The Banner fails to see anything un-
reasonable or presumptious in this de-
sire. Anyone who watched the
course of Senator Brown in the last
Senate knows that he is not only a
brave, fearless and reliable Republi-
can, but also a man of emminent
ability as a statesman and orator.
He was always on the right side of
every question, and when he spoke,
contrary to the rule in such cases, he
always said something. He would
make safe leader and vigorous
fighter and would serve his people
with credit to himself and satisfaction
to his friends in the Congress Of the
United States, or any other official
capacity.
The same may be said of Senator
Penland, of Sewer. He was the
equal, if not the superior, of any
men in the Senate, on questions ot
parliamentary usuage, and in many
other respects. His popularity il
attested by his continued success il
all his political contests, and th'
strong hold he has on the hearts o
his own people.-Rutledge Banner
Both of these gentlemen live out
side of Knox and accordi ng to TIL
theory of the ringsters all the mel
who have been spoken of as possibl,
candidates outside of that place jus
barely enough sense to find Washing
ton on the map. The Banner will
stir up feeling between the Republic
ans of this district if it talks in tha
way.

OUR esteemed contemporary, the
Maryville TINES, seems to be inclined
to be insstant in its advice to the out
counties to boycott Knox. 1t even
goes SO far as to refuse to boom Senator
Brown, although it believes he would
make good congressman, because it
wants to be in position to urge that
everything must be sacrificed in order
to accomplish the proposed boycott,
and it is willing to show its faith and
good works by making the first sacri-
flee. Knoxville Daily Journal.
The above just about expresses our
sentiments and hardly needs any COM
ment. But we don't wish to boycott
Knox entirely and would be perfectly
willing to concede them either the
chancellor or congressman, if that
county would recognize the right of
the other counties to an office once in
a while. Senator Brown would GER
tainly be the the first man that Blount
county would look to as their candi-
date for no man stands higher in the
estimation of Republicans. He
would certainly have such a strength
as no other man would have in this
county for he is a staunch, upright,
fighting Republican and those who
know him cannot doubt which side
of a public question he espouses. In
fact he has every trait to reccomend
him to the public, and the people in
this county have unbounded conf
dence in him. If outside counties
would decide to unite and support Mr.
Brown the TINES and Blount County
would be well pleased and we would
show the appreciation of the honor
by rolling up such majority as was
never heard of in this county. But
we are honest in our talk about the
unity in the other counties and as the
Journal says we are willing to show
our faith and good works by making
the first sacrifice if the securing of thai
unity demands it.

The Knoxville Republican tries to
make it appear that everyone spoken
of as candidate that lives outside Of
Knoxville is Tom, Dick, or Harry
who barely has sense enough to find
Washington on the map. Among the
men that have been spoken of outside
of Knox and this county are Penland,
of Sewer, Judge Rogers, of Loudon,
Major Coffman and "Dock" Owings
of Roane, Fowler Of Anderson, w.
D. Wright, Of Morgan, and perhaps
Others equally qualified. All of these
men will appreciate the compliment
of the Republican. But they must
remember that they are not Knox
county men therefore they are not
qualified.

UNITED STATES SENATOR LELAND
STANFORD died at his home in Cali
fornia Wednesday of last week. He
will always be remembered as the
founder of the Stanford University in
that state. His death will not change
the political complexion of the Sen
ate as the governor is Republican
and will appoint Republican to fill
out the unexpired term.

PAYMASTER JOHN c. SULLIVAN, of
the navy, who received lot of un-
enviable notoriety and narrowly es-
capped being court-martialed for criti-
sizing the action of the Harrison ad-
ministration in dealing with Canadian
poachers in Behring Sea, is now to be
tried upon more serious charge
embezzling SI2,ooo of Government
funds.

If the TIMES was published in
Knox county and was the personal
organ of two Knox county candidates
it might alarm us somewhat for other
counties to begin talking about can
didates and we might call it "cheap
stuff because if their candidate was
elected there might no longer be job
for the organ to grind about. And 1t
certainly would be "cheap stuff for
the organ.

STATE COMPTROLLER HARRIS starts
out as though he was going to run
things from business standpoint. In
a dispatch from Nashville he is re-
ported as saying that the state is rap
idly getting into shape, despite the
hard times, and so far as he was con-
cerned he was going to see that the
revenue was promptly collected and
equally as promptly reported. Here
after county court clerks and county
trustees will be required to report to
the comptroller and remit to the treas
urer on the first of every month.
Circuit, criminal, chancery, supreme
and law court clerks and back tax at
torneys must report promptly the first
of each quarter. Every one of these
reports must be sworn to and ltemlzed.
When no revenue is collected the fact
must be reported.

THE Journal says: "It is true that
for forty years Knox county men
have sat in the lower house of cong
ress." While admitting the right
of the other counties to share the hon.
ors it attemps a defense of Knox's
claims. One can see by its defense
that the Journal knows it has very
poor ground upon which to defend its
county's staggering usurpation Of the
rights of outside counties.

GROVER CLEvELAND's most recent
official utterance contained the follow
ing sentence:-"Our financial con-
dition is the only menace to the coun-
try's welfare and prosperity" That
is to say repeal the Sherman silver law
and the country will be prosperous
under the present robber tariff. Gro
yer forgot what his party has charged
the Mckinley tariff with doing.

So far as the TIMES vote is con-
cerned it makes no difference as to
whether we have primary or con-
vention. The TINES will support the
Republican ticket no matter who may
be the nominec, but there are great
many men who become displeased
and soured over the animosities stir
red up in primary and their vote is
lost when we come to fight the Dem
ocratic party.

The talk of having to reducing the
price of admission to The Fair to

THE Maryville TINES exclaims:
"Pass the pie around and we'll all
take share" And with this thought
in his mind, Bro. Goddard can with
difficulty keep his jaws still.-Knox-
vile Daily Journal
The esteemed Journal seems to
measure everything in its own half
bushel and doing:this it was led to
reason thusly, "Now if we had said
such a thing as that we would have
meant it in personal way and our
jaws would have been smacking and
we would have been licking our lips
while we in pleasant anticipation dip
ped our fingers into the delectable
public pie. OF course the TIMES edi-
tor was thinking Of the same thing
But Bro. Rule we haven't had the ex-
perience of being pie-seaker and
don't think about the morsel lust out
of our reach Eeverytime we sit down
to our plain meal. We havn't known
the secret thoughts of a standing pie
wanter. So when the above was
written we had none of the longing
sensations so peculiar to our esteemed
contemporary. We were writing
about the counties and our squib had
reference to those outside counties all
getting a share when once the pie be-
gan passing around.

A SPECIAL dispatch from Milan
Tenn, to the Cincinnati Post says
that Frank Chambers, clerk of the
Senate, is authority for the statement
that Gov. Turney will call an extra
session of the General Assembly in

has driven SO many companies from

w. r. DRURY, the pension attorn-
ey accused of wholesale frauds, was

would be impossible in any other

Mr.. CLEVELAND, according to
Democratic authority, is about to du-
plicate his unconstitutional action in
sending 'my personal agent to Hawaii
by appointing personal agent to take
charge of the Government printing
office and re-organize its entire work
ing force and system-another name
for dismissing the Republican EN-,
ployes. His reason is stated that he
wishes this reorganization to be made
by man who will feel no response
bllity to Congressman or Congress.
The personal agent who is to have ali
the powers of the Public Printer with
out any of the responsibility will have
no excuse or warrant of law for exist
ing; only the will of Mr.. Cleveland,
which appears to be rapidly taking
the place of the law and constitution.
Congress in its wisdom enacted law
compelling the Public Printer to give
a bond of $Ioo, oo.-the largest with
one exception given by any United
States ofhcial-for the faithful per
formance of his responsible duties.
This law will be ignored if Mr.. Cleve-
lands personal agent is given all the
authority of the Public Printer and
not required to give the same bond.
The resignation of the present Public
Printer, Mr.. Palmer, has been at Mr..
Cleveland's disposal for months. His
term expired more than a month ago.

GRATITUDE ON JULY 4TH.


With the constant influx of immi-
grants and the increasing distance of
the revolutionary epoch comes the
necessity for all patriotic citizens to
show themselves greattul for the dis
pensation under which they enjoy the
blessings of freedom. The signers of
the Declaration and the founders of
the Constitution were agreed that
each Fourth of July should serve as
a perpetual reminder Of the establish
ing of Republican institutions and of
the spirit in which these should be
preserved. One hundred and seven
teen years have passed since
the Declaration of independence was
signed, and 1o4 years have gone
since the Constitution, which guaran-
tees to all of us Republican form of
government, took effect. The des-
potic power of appointing their own
ministers without consulting the peop-
lie over which they rule has passed
away forever from the sovereigns of
Great Britain. The success of this
republic is best shown by the follow
ing Of its teachings by the nations Of
Europe. The French, after many
trials, seem finally to have adopted
republican form of government.
The thrones Of Spain and Portugal
are tottering. The consolidation Of
Germany delayed for a few years the
supremacy of the people in self gov
ernment, but parliamentary institutions
are every day obtaining a stronger
hold over the most aggressive and
progressive nation in Europe. The
rulers Of Italy find their best support
in the sufrages of the people. Only
in Russia, the most western of east
tern countries, is the great movement
toward freedom at an apparent stand
still, though even there the abullltions
of the popular party are felt beneath
the surface. The continent of Amer
ica, too, has seen the exhile of its last
hereditary ruler. The self-governing co
lonies of the Dominion of Canada are
admittedly nearer ultimate fate Of an
nexation to the United States. Every
where is seen the capability of the
people to sieze and carry on the gov
ernments. Thisl wonderful triumph
over depotism should be celebrated
by every man woman and child in the
country July 4th, each according to
his ability. Every person to whom it
is given to have rational and tenn
perate means of enjoyment should ex-
ercise his powers on the fourth of
July to their fullest extent If chill
dren want fireworks to fill their cup of
Joy to overhowing they should have
them. If women feel that they have
not received their full measure of
Justice, let them ponder over the
trials of the heroines of the revolution.
If men grow faint at the prospect of
the breakers through which the ship
of state must pass, let them read of
,hr greater Obstacles which portended
shipwreck to the revolutionary fathers.
A great writer has said: ga people
which takes no pride in the achieve
ments of remote ancestors will never
achieve anything worthy to be remem-
bered by remote decendants.;;' Let
this be Maryville's watchword July 4th
and let us have glorious celebra-
ton.

DURING the passed two weeks we
have added a large number of count
ry exchanges to our already large list.
We welcome all the thoughts of our
versatile brethren to our sanctum.
We know we can learn something
from them and we hope they will get
a few ideas from us.

In answer to the question, why
should Knox have both the chancel-
lor and congressman, the Tribune
says: "Because she wants 'em, son.
1t may be that some time in the future
this may not be as strong an argument
as it heretofore has been. 1t may
take something more than this to con-
vince the people that one county has
all the rights.

In communication from Loudon
to the Knoxville Republican, the
writer has this to say about the vote
in that county for Congressman:
"John Houk will get good vote here,
Judge Gibson will get good vote
and the editor of the Maryville TINES
will get good vote" 1t has never
once entered the mind of the editor
of this paper to be candidate for Con-
gress and furthermore it is as far from
our intentior-now as ever. We are
not a candidate.
The Maryville times. (Maryville, Tenn.) 1884-1944, 1893-06-28

IT is quite stroke of enterprise
and also CONVENIENT for a paper to
have a correspondent that stays in the
office who can write a communication
from Loudon, or any other important
place in the district. He always
knows just what the paper wants from
that place and can write without en-
bayrassing the editor.

IT is urged that those favoring a

All Of which is very nice and also
true, but what else could the Journal
do and be Republican paper? For
forty years a now Democratic county
has dictated who should be the candi-
date and the outside Republican
counties have elected him. Now if
the ones who have heretofore done the
the electing propose to do some of
the nominating what else can the Re-
publicans of Knox do but follow the
example of the other counties and
vote for the candidate. If they did
anything else their bread would be
"buttered side down" sure enough.
Turn about is fair play. Knox has
given the music and we have done the
dancing. Now if we strike off a tune
or two Knox ought to be willing to
dance awhile.

IT seems to us that the workings Of
the Sherman Silver law ought to be
enough to learn the free silver cranks
the fallacy of their theory. This law
is the nearest to their idea we have

OF course nothing can restore the
lives of those who were killed in the
accident at Ford's Theater, but is a
satisfaction to the families of the vic
tins to know that as far as coroner's
jury can do it the responsibility for
the wholesale murder has been placed
upon Col. Ainsworth, chief of the
Records and Pensions division of the
War department, who was in charge
of the building; w. E. Covert and
Sasse, superintendent and engineer
respectively of the wrecked building;
each of whom is now under $40, 900

how much is has done for the town
