GAY DecEIytas.

John Houk and his gang live
such = life Of deceit and trickery |
that they naturally think other pee
pie do the same, and the FIRST thing
they do when they find . man is
against them is to accuse him Of fol-
lowing their own pet methods. How
they think they are "gulling" the
people and making fools Of them and
laughing it, but doing this and
thinking they are doing it are differ
ent altogether. Catch two Of them
together and hear them talk slick to
to a man, and if you will watch their
eyes you will catch many a meaning
glance at each other, and if you will
pretend to bite just see the looks Of
satisfaction and sly winks at each
other. The TIMES editor happens
to know this is so from experience,
and when they thought they had us
won over by their talk, We had to
dispel their delusion the next week
by coming down heavier than ever on
them through the TIMES. Such
stuff goes down like rubbing a cat
the wrong way, and sensible man
can scarcely keep from showing his
disgust at such methods while he is
with them. Very few people are
deceived by them, and when they
do succeed in "gulling" man, as
they think, the following quotation
shows their after actions:
John Houk and his ringsters want
the poor men and the pensioners to
belive that they have great and
genuine love for them, but if they
could invisibly attend some of the
meetings of John Houk and his
crowd they would get their eyes
open from the bottom of their china
to the tops Of their foreheads. John
Houk has not the heart his father
had; he is a cold-bloo ded man, who
seldom smiles and hardly ever
laughs, and whose heart is too small
to take in anybody. He despises a
poor man, never mixes with the
masses Of the people, and is miser-
able in crowd. When he and his
strikers get together they begin to
laugh and joke about how they are
humbugging the poor men and pen.
sioners. John Houk and his crowd
make merry about how they are
making the people believe thu
Houk loves them like hungry kit
ten loves sweet, warm cream. The,

I lead this man. that man or the othel

look down into the hearts of Johl

Do you want to be among thu

East Tennesseeans, will resent sucl
actions and will show these gay de
ceivers that they will not be taker
in. They will not be imposed upor
longer.

ANOTHER THEORY.

The TINES hereby tenders apollo
gies to Dick Austin, editor of the
Republican, for any word we may
have dropped limiting that he was
controlled by John Houk. Accord
ing to a theory advanced by the Re-
publican Banner last week the con-
trolling comes the other way, and
Dick is the real Congressman. We
fear the most humble apology we
can offer will not be sufficient repair
alton for the injury done Austin by
intimating that he could be con-
trolled by such a "slack wad'' as
John Houk, for the one that is con-
trolled must be weaker than the
other. Again we apologize, and
give below the theory Of the Repub-
lican Banner:
John Houk is but clay in the
hands of Dick Austin, as two years
ago he was but clay in the hands OF
10 WINS; and unless he quarrels
with Dick as he quarreled with 10,
he will not be the Congressman il
elected; but Dick Austin, of Ala
bama, will be the real Congressman
from this district. But tho people Of
East Tennessee do not intend to be
represented in Congress by man
fresh from Alabama, and John
Houk and Dick Austin will find
that out by a large majority on the
day of the primary.

In the eloquent speech delivered
by Hon. A. A. Taylor last Saturday
against free coal and free iron he
represented his constituents and
the peonle of the state. His speech
was able and truthful, sound to the
core, a credit to himself and the
state. 1t is a pity that there no
more congressman from Tennessee
who have a just conception Of the
wants of the people and who do not
join in the parrot-like talk: "Push

THE Chicago Inter ocean, that
great Republican newspaper, has
not suffered by the recent era OF
financial depression, but has gone
gone right along adding to its foun-
dation stones-a large and substan-
tial circulation-with stride that
under the circumstances is truly
wonderful. At one time additions
t. the subscription list were coming
at the rate of 500 to LOO per day
for the daily issue, and as high as
1900 per day for the weekly Inter
Ocean. The result of this is to place
it easily at the head of the list OF
great Chicago newspapers. 1t is
certainly II good, clean, family
newspaper of the highest order.

A DEMOCRAT EDITING HOUK'S PAPER

The lizard-hearted editor of the
Knoxville Tribune, who is a bad
cross between water pup and a
hell cat, and who sweats green poi
son and who resembles a gorilla with
a full paunch and a shaved face, and
who drinks fire water to keep his
yellow blood from freezing, is doing
all he Can to help John Houk, first,
because by helping John Houk he
knows he is helping the democratic
party. and second because there is a
kinship of feelings and habits be-
tween them. Every week this
"pizen" democratic editor, who
hates the republican party as the
devil does the saints, writes an edi-
torial IN the Tribune abusing Glib
son, expressly to have it copied in
the next issue of John Houk's pa
per. There is no doubt in the world
but that this "pizen" democratic
editor of the Tribune and John
Houk are in secret partnership to
beat Judge Gibson for Congress
John Houk and this democratic edi-
tor, whose name is Small Pertatom,
are in constant and secret inter-
course when both are in Knoxville
and able to get out and get together.
Alabama Dick, one of the editors Of
John Houk's paper, writes edito-
rails in the Republican expressly to
be copied in the Tribune, and Small
Pertatom writes editorials in the
Tribune expressly to be copied in
the Republican--and thus they swap
work. The principal editor of the
Knoxville Republican is a "pizen'
democrat, Small Pertatum, and it il
very seldom anything appears in the
Republican that has not been sub
mitten to this democratic Small

An Indignant Judge.

not conceal his disgust at the action
Of the people who go to law over tri-
fes. While the case Of Lackie YER.
sns Lount was being tried at the Lon.

well to have given it to her7 1t was
only the use of couple of acres Of

this the defendant did not vouchsafe
any intelligent reply.
A little further OH in his evidence
1t was shown that settlement had
not been made, because he would not
agree to what would practically
amount to about $l.25 per annum.
On this coming out, his lordship said
very emphatically: Then 1t appears
that this suit has been brought in the

which amounts to about $l.25 per
year, the cost of which will be at
least 500 to each side It is shame

About the middle of the first c. u,

Pudens had a house on this spot He
was a Christian convert and, it is
said, a distant relative of Paul the
Apostle, who lodged with him from
A. D. Al to SO, and converted his two
daughters, Praxedes and Pudeutiana

guests he built small chapel in this
house, and when he died in SO and
