United States Senate after March
4. For this the equivocal course of
Senator Mcpherson aqd the Worse
than cquivocal course of Senator
Smith and Camden may be held in
no small degree responsible. 1t
may be safely said that the conduct
of the "little combine" of Demo.
cratic Senators, which under the
lead of German of Maryland so
long bafiled the efforts of their par.
ty to carry out the policy to which
it was pledged and to fulfill the
promises by which it won the sup
port of the people, and which held
the country for months in the
throes of financial distress, is re
sponsible for the sweeping disaster
which has overtaken the party ii
the elections of this year. So fan
as the Senate is concerned, it has
resulted in placing the balance Of
power in the hands of the littl,
band of pestilent Populists which
popular discomfort has thrown t.
the front, and nothing can be don
to carry out the national policy o
either party without their consent
If there is trace of conscience 0

1t is not, therefore, surprising that
there should have been some falling
off in the following month. Certainly,
there is as yet no justification for the
assumption that the new tariff law
will overwhelm our markets. with an
immense influx Of foreign goods.
There is nothing alarming IN the
temporary excess OF expenditures over
receipts. A new tariff law requires
some time before its normal operation
can become evident, because its efett
is anticipated to a certain extent.
For example, large amounts of raw
sugar were imported before the tax
took effect, and this reduces importa.
lions for few succeeding months
much below the normal. The same
is true with reference to the internal
tax on whisky, which was raised, with
this important difference that the ad.
vance payments on whisky yielded
considerable revenue, while the large
importations of raw sugar before the
new law was passed yielded none.
There is another reason why col.
lections of revenue are smaller now
, than the normal rate under the new
. law. The income tax is not assessed
{ until alter January l, and is not col.
leclible for some time thereafter. AL.
though the amount which this tax will

), The present state OF revenue, therefore

a the sums collected under the new Law
( will be inadequate for the support o
the government, if administered in al

Back OF all this, however, there is 9
still more important reason why reve

LITERARY NOTES.

The DelinedtOr for December which
is called the Christmas number, is
always a notable edition of this favor
lite magazine, and this year it is full of
unusually good things, among them
the New Skirts of the Season. which
embody one of the most pronounced
departures OF fashion in the matter of
feminine apparel. OF the general
contributions many have distinctive
flavor of the holidavs, among them
being Christmas Cheer, Some Useful
Gifts, A Plantation Christmas and
Christmas entertainment. The initial
chapter of series on the Relations OF
Mother and Son opens the subject
interestingly, the second instalment
! OF the House discusses sensbly the
matter of furnishing, and the contin-
uation of What to DO in Illness will
be Of great benefit to every mother.
The plan OF our Book OF the Fair is
to present in type and picture, in the
highest style of art, the entire EXPOSE
tion within reasonable space. To do
this we can not give in every detail

wearisome than uninstructive. Where
there are twenty or forty similar dis

suspended Payment"
These two words and all they
imply have caused an amount of
sorrow and lamentation in this
community during the last few
days that is hard to estimate. They
were employed in the following
sentence and suspended on the
door of the First National Bank
last Monday at 1890 p. M:
'Thls bank has suspended payment and is in
the hands of the Comptroller of Currency"
Do you realize what that means2
1t means that $4,000 dollars due
depositors is tied up indefinitely
and that $4,000 due from the peo-
pie of this section must be paid at
once, though it bankrupt them
This is not all. 1t probably means
that s 1000 put up by the stock
holders to found the institution has
been irretrievably lost. The effect
this will have upon this section is
hard to calculate. That it will be
bad goes without saying but how
bad and how long it will take to
get over this terrible blow to our
business interests remains to be
seen.
Mr.. J. E. Crandall, the President
of the bank, came TO Johnson City
from Illinois almost ten years ago
and, in connection with D. w
Shuler, started the Bank of John
son City. In short time Mr..
Shuler withdrew to start bank at

before it becomes serious. A trou-
