A BOTTLED UP PRESIDENT,

The Democratic Senate and the Dem
ocratic House have disappeared and
all that remains of the great Democratic
change in 1893 is the Democr attic Presi-
dent.
And he is bottled up.
American political history affords no
parallel to this swift and complete de-
struction of an ascendant party which
but two years before found itself in full
possession of the general Government.
In the retrospect the Democratic
"ciean sweep" of 1892 is preceived 10

mirage such as Oriental travellers some.

city, crowded with stately towers and
g%listening minarets, and altogether
beautiful to look upon, is beheld sus
pended in the heavens. 1t lights the
wilderness with glory for a brief hour,
and then fades as quickly as it appear

FROM MIDDLE TENNESSEE.
GABBATHA, June II, 1896.

We visited one day last week, per.
haps, the most ancient residence now
remaining in all this part OF Middle
Tennessee. The house is owned and
occupied by Milton Stanton who him.
self is 70 years of age. 1t is a two story
log house, hewn from blue ash logs
and was erected 1876 years ago, and is
situated on Martins Creek in Putnam
County, eighteen miles from Cookville.
Like most all other antique structures,
itisnot without its mysterious features.
The logs are perfectly sound and in
a good state of preservation. One
room Is IS by IA feet and the ceiling is
IL or IA feet high. The kitchen is de-
tached and is also built of logs, similar
to the way they were constructed
during slavery and ante bellum times.
The house stands on a very rocky and
romantic hill of a high altitude: over
looking Martins Creek, the Cumberland
river and plenty of fertile valleys be-
low. The scenery from the old home
is very picturesque. Therei is q number
of pleasing features connected with the
place, and among the most agreeable
is the old landlord. He told your cor
respondent of the awful ~hardships he
had endured, and how he had come up
from AFFECT poverty to a comfortable
home. He hired as a laborer on the
farm he now owns for very small wages
more than sixty years ago. He has
many souvenairs and relics, but the
greatest curiosity to my wife and my
self was an hour glass, which is said to
have been used in 1740 and is the only
one known to any of the old inhabi.
tants of this part of the State. 1t can
be adopted to modern use, and is as
accurate a time piece as it was when
first made; but requires too much at
tention and inconvenience to be util-
lied at present. If the Centennial MA
terializes it will be there on exhibition.
1t seems early yet, but the campaign
of education is fast coming on. AS to
the people here, there will be but one
issue. The all absorbing question is
money, and that money is silver, at
the ratio of 16 to /. All who can are
reading, discussing and thinking, and
it seems the more they ponder and con.
slider the faster they enlist in the battle
for the free and unlimited coinage of
silver, the Democracy of Lincoln and
Jackson counties have already met in
convention and in strong terms en-.
dorsed free coinage. This county will
follow suit and every county in the
upper Cumberland country will follow
in the same channel. The bloody shit,
the tariff nor even sectional appeals
to the prejudice of our people can per-
suade them from the paths of principle
and justice. Nothing can BE- injected
into next years contest that will effect
the interest the people have in our
financial matters. The old true and
tried Democrats who heretofore never
faltered from the battles of Democracy,
are today leaving their old colors by
the thousands, and will not support
nor vote for any candidate who will
define himself in unequivocal terms for
the free and unlimited coinage of silver.

oughly reliable in the scientific and his.
torical statements made. The placing
of an improper book in the hands of a
school child, is an offense against it,
almost as serious as q crime against
the State.
For several years the press of the
country has been calling attention to
the adoption of unfit school books, and
the excessive prices charged for them
by that monopoly, the School Book
Trust. This corrupt combination has
been caught 10 its ~disgraceful practi-
ces in a dozen States and the published
records of its attemp pts at bribery
have been repeated again and again.
Our people have also become aware of
the fact that the prices of school books
in this State are more than fifty per
cent. more than in other parts of the
country, and the enormous profits of
the Book Trust comes out of the pock-
cts of the parents who must buy books
for their children.
Through the reprehensible work of
its well paid friends, it has been de-
frauding us for years, and is trying to
keep it up. Here are some quotations
no n can t%ruthfully deny, The same
U. S. History for which our people are
giving SO 25, retails in Indiana for six
ty five cents; the identical English
Grammar, that sells here for eighty
cents, can be bought in Ohio for forty
nine cents; Mississippi purchases the
self same Geography for ninety six
cents, that costs our children 81 80
the Arithmetic for which we pay 81, the
people of West Virginia get for sixty
cents; and a corresponding discrimi
nation can be seen in readers, spell
lers and all of the other books used in
public schools.
These are hard times for the people
The Book Barons are growing richer
and the parents are growing poorer
every year. AS was recently said by
another paper, in this matter of schooI
books for the children of the State; the
people are chained to the chariot
wheels of a triumphant trust, fortified
at the State capitol by the all too evi
dent Partially of State officials, who
seem to act upon the motto of old Com
modore Vanderbilt, ''the people be
id" The people, however, are vel
to be more fully enlightened anG
when they are, they will be heard from
in a that will terrify the Off
GERS of the Trust, and every one else
who has assisted them in swindling the
children of the State.

THE SCHOOL BOOB OUTRAGE

Among the essentials of our daily life
very few are more in evidence than
school books. Intelligence is the foun-
dalton stone of the republic, and on
this account the public school has been
established and maintained. Constant
sacrifices have been made to construct
an efficient education system to the
end that our children, from generation
to generation, might have an oppor-
tunity of securing an education that
would equip them for successful citi
zenship.
Officials whose business ii is to pro-
vide for the training of the youth of our
country are dealing with sacred inter
ests. They should place the schools
above reproach in their public and pri-
vate lives. They must also see that
the text books selected are fully up to
date in their arrangement and thor.

THERE is nothing in the furious
money agitation that the Democrats
have sprung upon the country. 1t is
to mystify and befog the real issues be-
fore the country. Silver will go just as
far as any kind of money in purchas
ing of the comforts andluxuries of life.
Not even a bar keeper in the land would
dare discount the white metal. No
kind of money has any intrinsic value
it is the stamp of the Government
upon it and the credit of the Govern.
ment behind it that makes it go. The
people demand a right to a living
they demand employment and a fair
price for their labor. They, also, de-
mand that the price of wheat they pro-
duce shall be regulated by the supply
and demand, and not by trusts and
combines. Regulate these things and
the money question will regulate itself.

THE general interest and enthusiasm
manifested in educational progress re.
Joice the heart of every patriot and
good citizen. Better schools and higher
grades of scholarship are the aspirations
OF every community. During the past
year a large number of children have
attended the public schools and there
has been a wonderful increased patron
age of academies and colleges. There
is a decided progress of the movement
for not only a practical but n more
liberal education of the masses, the
more important and prominent seats of
learning are attracting the attention
and receiving much needed aid from
those who use their wealth for the good
of humanity and the world. This is
not a wealthy coutry-it could and will
be a very rich one-the full and proper
use of Natures bounties being only re-
quired and the time is neal at hand,
yea, it is right here now when q man
who fails or refuses to give his children
the full advantages of our educational
faculties, is not only considered a bad
citizen but the robber of his own off,
