Treasure-Trove in Tennessee.

Great excitement prevails in Union
county, Tenn, about twenty-five
miles from Knoxville, over the discov-
cry in an Indian mound of $4,000
worth of gold bars and nuggets.
About a week ago a Cherokee
woman named Mcdonald, a grand
daughter of Chief Mcintosh, one of
the famous chieftains of her tribe, APP
peared in the neighborhood, with a
map showing the purported location
of large amount Of hidden treasure.
She claimed that halfa million dollars
had been buried there by her grand
father. People were disposed to treat
her as a crank at first, but finally the
owner Of the farm on which the treas
ure was located agreed to open the
mound for half of the treasure, if any
was found. Some days ago workmen
commenced excavating and early one
morning found $4,000 worth ofgold-
dust and nuggets in a jar. Later, they
unearthed an iron box containing
$4,000 worth of the precious metal.
She claims that there is great deal
more to be unearthed.
Over two thousand people gathered
in the neighborhood of the mound,
and fifty armed men are guarding the
treasure-spot at night.

In Baltimore the other night a rat

In Baltimore the other night a rat
entered the Brush Electric Works and
caused $1,000 damages and the extin-
gushing of every incandescent electric
light in a number of buildings in the
central part of the city. The rat went
into the machine-room and stepped
from one brass terminal to another,
forming circuit. When its front feet
touched the second terminal 2,7OO
volts of electricity, sufficient to pro-
duce 900 horsepower, passed through
its body. The rat did not die I'm
gering death. The switchboard caught
fire and lot of wire was damaged.
Every wire on the switchboard had to
be taken out and replaced before the
lights could be turned on again. a
similar accident has never been heard
of by employees of the works. The
body of the rat will be preserved as
curiosity at the works.

THROUGHOUT the last campaign the
Republicans ceaselessly tainted the
Democrats with impotency. insincerity
and hopeless inability to agree among
themselves. They charged the party
with an innate incapacity to conduct
our government, and many people seem
to have believed the charge, at least
in part Congress has now assembled
and the party is Of course eager to re-
deem itself from any such imputation
but will it? On the contrary, many
members, under the pretext that no
beneficial legislation can be accom-
plished in the short session, are acting
and speaking in way to Justify the
charge. Some of them who were de-
feated for reelection have even talked
Of refusing to be present at all. Not
only is this humiliating to sincere party
men, but it augurs i'll for the future of
our country if tie leaders of the party
whose principles alone can insure its
prosperity have not enough courage
and devotion to do their plain duty
after having suffered temporary de-
feat.

WHAT has gone furtherest to cripple
the energies and bewilder the couDsels
of sincere tariff reformers, is the Oft
repeated cry that the business of the
country must have repose from further
tariff agitation. If our condition was
one of equilibrium, this would be enti-
tied to some weight. But the signs Of
the times show Enthusiastically that pro-
lection must ultimately be uprooted
So far as agitation itself is injurious, as
much harm will result from agitating
ten per cent reduction of duties as
reduction of fifty per cent. If tariff
for revenue only must come, as it surely
must, then the opponents of agitation
should demand that each change be
made as radical and far-reaching as
possible, in order to arrive at the in
evitable at once. Any other course is
but the old argument that if the dogs
tail must be cut off, it will save him
suffering to cut ii off an inch at time.
