HURRAH for Upton County and
its straight democracy. A primary
election was held in that county last
Saturday and resulted in a glorious
victory for the sound money demo-
Gratis, who, of course, Endorsed
President Cleveland and Congress
man Patterson. The following is
the report sent from Covington,
which was published in the Mem
phis Scimitar: ''As predicted in
these dispatches Saturday afternoon,
straight democracy prevailed in Tip
ton by an overwhelming majority.
The sfree silver-Or-bust" men led
by Messrs. Young, Smitheal, Baptist
and others, made COvingtOn district
the main battle ground, which prov
ed a veritable Waterloo for the anti
Patterson pale metal worshipers.
After weeks of public speaking, or
ganizatiOn of Clubs, personal appeals
and entreaties and all sorts of repre-
sensations, they were only able to
marshal 1875 followers in our prima-
~ Saturday evening out of a posi-
bic 500. They Jared but little bet
ter in other parts of the county,
and succeeded in carrying only four
out of fifteen districts. In cOnVen-
ton which met here to-day the
''sound money" administration wing
of the party had sixty-fve vot out of
eighty-seven, and after being called
to order by Chairman Richardson
was duly organized by the election
of G. Il. SimOntOn as chairman and
Thomas SOmerville as secretary,
with the several representatives of
the press assistants. The usual
committees were appointed and in
due time reported. The Committee
on ResOlusiOns brought in series
of resolutions indorsing CleVeland's
administration, Josiah Patterson and
sound money in the strongest terms,
which were adopted unanimously. !"

Aztec about six months

AFTER about six months
of wrangling, the house bill
with senate amendments has
passed both houses OF con-
gress. There is no use of de-
nying the fact that the bill is a
disappointment to democracy,
but it is a step in the right
direction, and is much better
than the Mckinley law. The
most cOmmendable feature of
the bill is that authorizing
the taxing of annual incomes
in excess of $4,000, which
will more equalize taxation
by causing the wealthy to
more equally bear the portion
of the expenses. Besides the
average reduction, as COM
pared with the Mckinley
law is about 20 per cent. The
bill places wool, lumber,
hemp, jute, bagging' and
binders Irvine OH the free list.
The protection rate on wooden
goods is reduced more than
so per cent, and about the
same on cotton goods. After
the passage of the tariff bill
the house passed other bills
placing iron, coal and sugar
on the free list. But there
is scarcely any prospect of
either of them passing the
senate; however, the action of
the house is a reflex of the
sentiment of the people as to
tariff reform, and offers no
consolation to those senators
who have prevented congress
from carrying out their ex-
pressed will.

If the government required that
80 ounces of silver should constitute
a dollar, the owners of silver bull
lion would only have one-half as
many dollars as if coined at Is to L.
1t is therefore very evident that the
mine owners would have twice as
much money if their bullion was
coined at 10 to l as at 80 to l, and
it Is also evident that the people,
while not receiving one dollar gratis
from the owners of silver mines,
yet their 49l cent dollars pass at
their face value solely on account
of the peoples credit. These are
facts that can not be successfully
cOntroverted.

A question now being agi-

it, and in his Characteristic

doing. Should he do so, the

silver was the only one contested.
Although, from the latter clause of

that those from Hardeman County
who are not of the opinion that the

are not democrats, the BULLETIN
openly declares that it does not con-

To Arrest the Coxeys.

BALTIMORE, Aug. 9.-This morning
forty policemen under charge OF Ser
geant Gilbert took . special train from
Camden station for Hyattsville, with
instructions 10 arrest every Coxey-
lite they could find and lodge the crowd
in the Maryland House OF Correction
at Bridewell. The commonwealers
will be arrested on charges of vaerancy.
Marshal Frey said that the move was
made at the request of residents of the
vicinity of the Coxey camp, who were
tired of supporting the 'wealers.
Several fights have recently oc-
Cured among the seventy-five mem
bers of the army at Hyattsvllle
and the hospital list has been large.
The difficulties have generally been
caused by the mems efforts to get food.
They would steal from their comrades
as quickly as from the farmer. The
tattered band has been practically
without sustenance fer week.
EVANSVILLE, MI, Aug. 9.-Coxey's
army was rounded up here in great
shape this morning. A special train
from Baltimore brought platoon OF
police to the commonwealers' camp
and lightweight men were arrested.

There were few skirmishes, but most
of the men took their arrest good
naturally. Those who resisted the Of
fcers were quickly subjugated and the
entire camp of Coxey's followers was
marched before Justice Carr. The
arrests were made on Governor Browns
order and the justice summarily SEN
fenced each member of the ill-assorted
horde to three months 10 the Maryland
house of correction. The prisoners
were loaded on the special train and
taken to Bridewell, where they will
for three months be taken care ofat the
expense Of the State.

The Southern Railway Company.

1t is now apparent that by the 1st OF
September the Southern will be in con-
troll practically of $500 miles Of road,
and will be master of the situation. 1t
will practically control the traffic inter
ests of the South, which will be in
stronger and more capable hands than
ever before.
The Georgia Central will probably be
the next road absorbed, to be followed
shortly by the accession of the Louis
vile Southern. 1t only requires the
formality OF transfer to complete the
deal, the company being already in
control Of these properties.
The Alabama Great Southern, it is
currently reported, is wanted by the
Southern Company as the entering
wedge to the requirement OF the entire
system known as the Flower line"
and which includes the Alabama and
Vicksburg, New Orleans and North
eastern, and the Vicksburg, Freeport
and Pacific. These roads, together
witt. the Alabama Great Southern and
the Cincinnati and Great Southern, COM
prise the Queen and Crescent system,
with a mileage of |, 191 miles of road.
1t is not thought by those Sin the
know that the Southern Company will
encounter any great obstacle in OBJ
tanning control of the Alabama Great
Southern and the Cincinnati Southern,
but the other portion of the system,
south and west of Meridian, Miss, will
not be easily acquired.
A rival interest, the Erlanger syndi-
cate, has been negotiating for an ex-
tension of its control over the Flower
lines, "and will relinquish its hold in that
direction only after it becomes appar-
ent that it is the weaker element i'll the
gigantic struggle. 1t is regarded as
certainty that the Alabama Great
Southern, which controls the lease OF
the Cincinnati Southern, will be pur-
chased by the Southern Company at
the forced sale which is set for August
22nd.
The Erlanger interest cannot prevent
the sale of the Great Southern, but a
meeting of the foreign stockholders has
been called for next week in London,
to prevent, if possible, other
lines of the Queen and Crescent
system from being absorbed by
the southern. However, with the &C
ouirement of the Great Southern and
the Cincinnati Southern, the Drexel-
Morgan interest will be in position, it
is thought. to dictate most any terms to
the other lines aud completely GUST the
Erlanger people fron the field they
now occupy south of the Ohio river.

is carried out in full, the Queen and

Col. ROBERT ISGERsoLL 5 recent ar
ticle on suicide incites a Northern

sslf-destruction is not the result OF III

of the wisest and bravest men have
committed suicide. when in the full
possession OF all their mental faculties.
And conditions may be readily imagin-
ed in which death is SO infinitely prefer
able to life that those who attain it by
their own hands evince the soundest
sense. instead of the lack of it; and it is
patiently absurd to say that man
afraid OF death, will deliberately take
his own life.
