The Bolivar bulletin. (Bolivar, Tenn.) 1888-1946, 1894-07-06

The BULLETIN published an arti-
Gle lest week, calling attention to
the fact that a political convention
would be held in Bolivar on August
end. and urged that a ticket compo-
sed of men IN unison with President
Cleveland and the democratic adj
ministration be voted for in every
district in the county. The Scimi-
tar, of Memphis, copied the article
in full, and in the mean time pays
the BULLETIN the following COM
pliment: "This is straight talk from
a paper which has fought the bat
ties of democracy for years from a
time when it was considered not dem
Ocratic policy to defame the national
leader Of the party, or to court the
favor of every wild-eyed faction.
IL IL published in the bailiwick of
Citizen Charley Miller, who thinks
that he can fiji the shoes Of Josiah
Patterson. We salute the Bulletin
and bid it God-speed in its brave
and faithful advocacy Of true demo-
cratic principles. /"

II this issue we publish an arti-
Gle entitled, Concerning Pensions, -
which gives an insight into the Judi
cious manner in which the pension
department is being managed under
the Cleveland administration. The
article shows that in that depart
ment alone, within the last fiscal
year, there has been a saving to the
people of $40, 600, 600. During the
republican regime there was an an
nual increase in the expenditure Of
the peoples money in the payment
of pensions. President Garfield ON
being indicted into Office, apologize

atoms for pensions was then $685.

CAN the democratic party afford
to select as standard bearer those
not in harmony with a democratic
administration? This is a question
that is worthy Of serious considera-
tion. For the government to select
as generals other than those who are
in sympathy with and defenders Of
the cause for which it is contending
would be nothing less than to invite
inevitable defeat. No more can a
man'consistently defend an admins
tration, which he does not indorse
than a general a cause which he oppo-
ses. There is no doubt but what
the Cleveland Administration will
be excoriated by the enemy, but it
should hardly be expected that the
democratic party will nominate such
persons for Office as will join the en-
envy in its denunciation of the only
democratic administration that has
governed this country in 80 years.
To do so would be suicidal.

Concerning Pensions.

The surprising statement is made
by the Pension Department that Oh
July /, the beginning of the next
fiscal year, there will be returned to
the Treasury of the United States
the enormous sum of nearly $25,
600, 900. This represents the saw
ing in the conduct of the bureau du-
ring Commissioner Lochren's incum-
bency. Instead of granting every
application he set to work to purge
the pension list and to stop the
wholesale and indiscriminate issu-
ance of pensions. How well he has
succeeded is shown not only by his
avoidance of a deficiency of SIS, 900,
600 which his predecessor practical
ly predicted, but by his saving and
returning to the Treasury the enor-
nous sum of nearly $25, 900, 900.
And he did not ask for $165, 00O,O 600
from Congress for next year either.
He has reduced the estimate to $40,
600, 600.
In this work of economy Mr..
Lochren has had the active co-opera-
tion and assistance of his deputies,
Messrs. Murphy and Bell, as well as
the other leading officials of
the bureau, majority of whom are
of the late war. 1t is be-
lieved by pension bureau officials.
that the time is not far distant
when the issuance of pensions viii
be brought to a business basis and
that the general principle that those
deserving pensions should have
them will be recognized by both
parties; that the pension roll viii be
IN honor roll and that the entire con-
luct of pensions will be relegated to
he Pension Department without
reference to politics in any shape.

IN his speech at Whiteville
on the 4th of July, Col. Casey
Young, expressed himself in
favor Of the Executive Com
mittee of the Tenth District
ordering a primary election,
to be held some time about
October 1st., to determine
who shall be the democrst tic
nominee for congress. 1t
will be remembered that this
is exactly in line with the re-
quest made by Hen. Josiah
Patterson In a letter some
weeks ago addressed to Mr..
James f. Hunter, whe is
chairman Of said COMMITTEES,
and which was published in
the papers. Hardeman is the
only county in the district
so far that has acted in regard
to the matter, Mr.. Patter-
son cannot return here before
the August election, hence
he will be placed at a disad-
vantage. Mr.. Young desires
to treat his absent opponent
fair. He is anxious 10 meet
him face to face before the
people and discuss the ques-
tions about which they differ.
Mr.. Young's suggestion is
correct and is favored by two
of the three candidates.

EnIToRs BUILETIN:-We attend
ed the joint debate at Needham's
school house last Saturday night be-
tween J. T. Huad.ey and ] B. Rob
ley. The qu1sns5l discussed was:
That the democratic party offers
greater inducements TO the people of
the United States than any other.
Mr.. HuRdIey discussed the afirma-
tive side of the question and Mr..
J. B. Robley the negative. 1t was
generally conceded that the MAORI
ty OF the audience Endorsed the
views of Mr.. Hundley. In enumel~
ating the acts of the democratic
party, Mr.. Hundley mentioned the
repeal of the Federal election law
which was declared by Mr.. Robley
to have been a Democratic measure,
and that the bill was introduced by
S. S. Cox, of New York. lie also
asserted that the Peoples party
would yet come to the front and
give us something better.

In 1892, the electoral vote
of Arkansas was cast for Gro
yer Cleveland, and the plat
form on which he was nomi-
mated was Endorsed. In 1894,
the democrats of that state
refused to indorse the de mo-
cratic administration and to
reafirm the platform Of 1892,
but declared in favor OF the
coinage of silver at Is to /,
thus indorsing the populite
platform OF 1892, instead of
the democratic platform.
Who has changed, the Presi-
dent who still indorses the
democratic platform of 1892,
or the democrats of Askansas
who now refuse to indorse
either Grover Cleveland or
the platform on which he was
nominated? Again, if that
platform declares in favor of
the free coinage Of silver un-
conditionally, why did the
Arkansians refuse to indorse
it? The BULLETIN is still
democratic, hence is opposed
to Populite doctrine.

Through Difficulties.

The motto on the coat of arms of
one state in the Union, is lad astra per
aspera, to the stars through difficult
ties; and the same might well be ap-
piled to Popperton Place After a
struggle with the government from
1862 until 1886. Charles Pepper finally
succeeded in having his title to the
land fixed by a special act of Congress,
and when we got it in 1888 it was call
ed Butcherville. We changed the
name the next day, because, you know,
Butcherville isn't a nice name for a
fine locality. 1t was then pretty hard
for the most imaginative mind to con-
ceive Of its ever becoming Salt Lakes
great residence locality; but we knew
it would. We knew that in time its
magnificent location would prove ir-
resistible. and so we have been work
ing along patiently on our plan of de-
velopment, never doubling what the
outcome would be. and every year we
have made little progress. We moved
10000 cubic yards of dirt in building
streets. We acquired franchises across
the reservation and through the city.
and an electric line was constructed.
BY the slow methods of municipal leg
islation, we got the water mains ex-
tended. and one day saw, with salts
faction. that they were filled with wa
ters Of the high line system We built
trst-clasS houses as models for others
to follow. and we restrained the temp
tation. frequently offered us, to sell
lots without the building conditions in
the deeds: and so, in one way and an
other. little by little, in the face of diff
ficulties. the day at last dawned when
Popperton Place had every essential
for settlement. and then we commenced
to tell the people about it. We have
written thousands of lines about its
attractions. We have pounded out the
undying truth about Proportion, with
patience and persistency. We have
made it the best known locality in Salt
Lake: and although it has cost thou
sands of dollars to 90 it. we at last
have the satisfaction to know that we
can go down the street without fear

Where is this Popperton Place?''

wives pine for it. and men look to-

The satisfaction that is felt by Drs.
Shores and Shores with the results of
their work in Salt Lake is doubly great
when they consider that they have
practically revolutionized the system
heretofore in general use for the cure
of catarrhal diseases. That that sys-
tenn has been in general use is album
dainty established by the numberless
complaints daily made by patients ap-
plying for the new treatment.
The mild and painless method of
treatment that these physicians intro
duced has superseded the old heroic
forms and NOSE-BURNING, MEM
|BRANEOUS DESTROYING and POL
|SONOUS DRUG practices, need no
longer be dreaded.
Drs. Shores and Shores are not To-
g1es. They represent new thought, new
methods. The mild and painless treat
ment which they offer the sufferer is
being accepted just as all improve
ments on all old ways are accepted,
gratefully and joyously.
The immense practice they have built
UP in Salt Lake is simply an army of
enthusiastic patients, delighted with
the mild, gentle, sympathetic treat
ment they have received; happy over

Many of these statements come from
patients who have been given up by
other physicians; from patients who
have expected to die; from victims of
the terrible treatment of medical tor
turers. and from men and women who,
had been told by doctors whom they
trusted that their disease was incura-
BILE.
They do not come from emotional or
hysterical persons; but from sensible
business men, practical home-working
women. and professional gentlemen
who. under ordinary circumstances are

Drs. Shores and Shores have no small
|jealousies or petty malice. They are
too broad-minded. too skillful, too sue
lcessful for that. They are glad to have
the profession, as well as the public,
know and comment upon their won
derful success. and learn the lessons
which can be learned from It, There
