A Record Of Incapacity.

Strong superlatives are seldom justi-
fed. Nevertheless it would not seem
i'll advised to declare that the whole
financial history of modern nations fur
nishes no instance of incaracity so
great, of craftsmanship so utterly want
ing, of common sense SO pitiably alb.
dictated, as our own country has shown
in the past two years. There has been
frittered away the highest public credit
that any nation had ever attained; and
the change has been wrought when no
difficulties whatever existed except the
one difficulty that the party in power
could not agree upon any policy. What
soever President Cleveland and the
New York banking interests may think
the people of the United States do not
want long time interest bearing bonds
issued in times of peace. The people
would unquestionably have preferred
an issue of short time treasury certifi,
Gates of one sort or another to meet
temporary exigencies, and a prompt
levy of sufficient new taxes to bring
current revenues up to the point
of meeting amply both the current
expenditures and also all further
tasks imposed by the necessity of main
tanning the gold reserve and the inter-
changeability of all sorts of money. 1t
is to be regretted that everybody at
Washington might not have been will
ling at least to agree upon some plan
which would prevent the use of the out
standing g%reenbacks as an endless
chain for drawing gold out of the
treasury From THE Progress of the
World" March Review of Reviews.

Long and Short of IL.

The Nashville American says: 1.-THE
Evanites have no case; that is the long
and the short of it," AS Mr.. Evans
had a majority of the popular vote it
does look as if he ought to have a case,
and a good one; but seven beats five
every time; shat is the long and the
short of it. "-Bristol Courier.
You have hit it exactly. The return
ing board crowd dare not rely upon even
a fair and open investigation which
they themselves demanded; they simply
rely upon their partisan majority to
make rules and fix limits to the in
quiry they have undertaken, SO that the
result can not be otherwise than fa-
vorable to them. But the people are
keeping tab on this infamous piece of
business, and in due time the whole
nest of tricksters and ring manipulators
will be cleaned out, without parleying.

A Dor Note.

Papa" said the daughter of a large
employer of labor, "are you in favor of
the eight hour system?"
well, daughter, under certain cir.
cumstances l ann
"Oh, l am so glad" she rapturously
exclaimed.
why, my dear, are you so interest.
edp"
Because, Papa, George has only
been staying four hours every evening,
and he told me last night if you favor
the eight hour system he needn't 60
home so early. You dear old Papa, l
am so glad you are in favor of it,
And she wrapped her soft, white arms
about his neck, and choked off all ex-
planations.-Texas Siftings.

Partisan Duplicity.

For a body of men, starting out with
expressions of such virtuous indigna-
ton at the perpetration Of fraud at
the ballot box and declaration
to expose it wherever found, to send
out secret circulars embodying instruc.
tons to investigate only with a view of
concentrating a most vicious and
fraudulent scheme-to expose one side
and cover up the other-we say, for
these men to engage in a conspiracy of
this sort marks them as a band of I'M
scrupulous p%artisans, that should have
the execration of all honest men. We
do not wonder at this new evidence of
partisan duplicity on the part Of the
schemers, for it is but a part of the plot
entered into with soul purpose of de-
frauding Evans of his election by the
use of the most despicable and under.
hand means, and is only carrying out
the scheme formulated and agreed upon
in secret council as soon as it was dis
covered that Turney was beaten. If
those men were the only sufferer, or if
the Democratic party would only be
the loser, it would not matter SO much,
but the honor and welfare, as well as
the future prosperity of a great State,
is involved, and stamps the crime as a
most unnatural one. -Tullahoma Guar.

An Indian Baby.

If the watchful American mother
who carefully guards her baby against
the cold and gives it a daily bath in per-
fumed water could follow a Mohave
Indian child through its infancy, she
would more than once be horror stricken
at what she saw. Occasionally in hot
weather the mothers battle their child
rem. The manne in which they do it
is amusing. They 90 to q body of water,
strip the child, and placing a strip of
cloth under its arms hold both the ends
in hand and swing the child over the
water, sousing it vigorously for two or
three minutes. OF course the child
strangles, coughs and struggles to get
its breath, but It lever cries. When
the mother is satisfied that the condi
ton of the child is sufficiently improv.
ed, she drops it on the ground and al.
lows it to roll around in the sun until
its skin is dry. This treatment is given
the child more with the view of keeping
it comfortably cool than respectfully
clean.-Kate Fields Washington.

DOu't Put II or.

The necessity of a spring medicine is
universally admitted. This is the best
time OF year in which to purify the
blood, to restore the appetite, and TO
build up the entire system, as the body
is now peculiarly suceptable to benefit
from medicine. The great popularity
attained by Hoods Sarsaparilla, owing
to its real merit and Its remarkable
success, has established it as the very
best medicine to take in the spring. 1t
cures scrofula, salt rheum and all hu.
mors, billiousness dyspepsia headache,
kidney and liver complaints, catarrh,
and all affections caused or promoted
by low state of the system or impure
blood. Don't put it off, but take Hoods
Sarsaparilla now. 1t will do O good.

Leave Honor Ont.

The esteemed Nashville American
jumps on Sam Jones for denouncing
the gubernatorial job, and tries to make
it appear that he has "slandered Ten
nessee" in scarifying the authors and
executors of the job aforesaid. Sam is
amply able to take care of himself; on a
former occasion, when the American
tried to oppose him, he made it go down
on its knees and apologize, and there
is nothing TO prevent his doing the
same thing again.
The Scimitar, therefore, refrains from
taking any part in the row Rut it
would suggest that this, the concluding
paragraph of the Americans article,
had better BEEN omitted:
THE Democracy of Tennessee has
taken its stand for the enforcement of
the law and the exposure of fraud, and
tn people of Tennessee will endorse its
action
Considering how what precious care
the Investigating Committee has
taken to prevent the exposure of any
Democratic fraud, the less said about
the endorsement of the scheme by the
people of Tennessee" the better for
their reputation, about which the
American processes to be so solicitious.
As Lady Teazle says to Joseph Surface
when they are planning an intrigue
and he offers to pledge his honor to
shield her; Don't you think we had
better let honor out of the converse
tion?"-Memphis Scimitar.

HE Good Old Dnvs-

I'VE want 10 see return the good old
days OF long ago, when the country
editors were esteemed the biggest men
in the country, when half the babies
were named after them, when they
were honored guests of every wedding,
when they paid no bridge toll and were
never supposed to pay a debt when they
got credit, when every editor had a
home and a wife that could set type,
mind the babies, cook dinner, collect
accounts and assist in the editorial
work. "-Tatnall (Ga. Journal.

New Political Conditions In the States.

The proceedings of the North Carolina
Legislature derive greater Importance,
perhaps, than would otherwise attach
to the doings of that body, from its
political complexion. The member
ship is composed of Republicans, Dem
ocrats and Populists in almost equal
numerical groups, with one Prohibi-
ZIONIST, The Republican. Populist flu.
sion elected one Republican to the
United States Senate, and one Populist:
it controls the legislation Of the session.
Next to the repeal of the election laws
and the present county government
acts, the topics chiefly discussed thus
far have been the various propositions
to reduce the expenses of the State Gov
eminent, to consolidate the agricultur-
al college with the State Department
of Agriculture, to discontinue appro-
priations for the militia, and to i'm
prove the roads of the State by taxa
ton and convict labor. A stringent
law against prize fighting. Several
constitutional amendments will be sub.
mitted to the people at the coming gen.
eral election, at which the question of
elections will be holly discussed.
North Cardinals legislative record for
the year certainly compares favorably
with that of Tennessee, where The con-
test over the governorship has prevent
ed the enactment of any legislation of
Importance. From 1.-THE Seasons Do

1t ShOnld Not he.

The Knoxville Journal speaks of State
superintendent of Public Instruction
Frank Smith ''helping Vertrees man
age the investigating committees" We
hope this is a mistake. Superintendent
Smith was appointed by Gov. Turney,
presumably to look after the school in.
%terests, and since the Turney committee
refuses to go into any investigation to
discover whether voters paid the poll
taxes for the school fund, and has no
concern about that matter, the State
superintendent of Public instruction
has no business consulting with the
committee or aiding itin any way. The
public school interests of Tennessee are
big enough to engage his whole and
his undivided attention. - Nashville

A Partisan Scheme.

Tennessee's gubernatorial investiga-

Democrats and five Republicans on the
investigating committee who have
scattered in three directions to investi.
