WHEN Jefferson was presi-
dent, and when he realized
that gold was leaving the
country, he issued a peremto-
ny order stoppingthe coinage
of silver. Now when gold is
again leaving the country,
the 81 effersonian democrats"
of the present day, advocate
as a remedy to stop the out
flow of gold the coinage of
more silver. Or in other words
the method of the present day
"Jeffersonian democrats" is
exactly opposite and antago-
nistic to the action of the
founder and establisher ofthe
democratic party. Jefferson
attributed as the cause of the
outflow of gold, the too ex-
tensive coinage of silver,
while the present day "Jef-
fersonian democrats" urge as
a remedy, the condition be-
ing the same, the coinage of
more silver. 1t is strange
that those who do not in

declare that they are not
Methodists, while others are

How to Treat q Wife.

From Pacific Health Journal.
First, get wife; second, be pa
tient. You may have great trials
and perplexities in your business,
but do not therefore, carry to your
home cloudy or contracted brow,
Your wife may have trials, which,
though of less magnitude, may be
hard for her to bear. A kind
word, a tender look, will do won
ders in chasing from her brow all
clouds of gloom. TO this we
would add keep bottle of Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy in the
house. 1t is the best and is sure to
be needed sooner or later. Your
wife will then know that you really
care for her and wish to protect her
health. For sale by B. V. Hudson,

A., G. v. is a member of the State
Guard of Tennessee and is finely
drilled. The object of this compa-
ny is to erect a magnificent eques-
trien statue of and to the memory
of Gen. n. B. Forrest, a Memphian
and the peer of any General in either
army, and yet whose grave is
unmarked by anything but simple
headstone
There will be a most interesting
drill, comprising the evolutions of
the company and the manual of
arms as prescribed by Hardee's
tactics, and also be an individual
competitive drill, and it is earnest
ly hoped that another company of
Ex-Confederates will be in atten-
dance to compete for handsome
prize. After the drill, which will
occur at East End Park, with plen-
ty of music, shade, room and seats,
there will be dancing until twelve
o'clock at night when the exercise
will close. Refreshments of all
kinds will be served, and no one
need 60 off of the grounds for his
supper, be it light or substantial.
There will be many reunions of old
comrades long separated and a good
time generally and all will feel that
they have a common interest. Rail
roads have made a very low rate
for the round trip to Memphis on
June 9th and for such an event, so
enjoyable in itself, and with such a
worthy object in view, we expect
that every old soldier will turn
out and carry his family to see this
reminder of old days and feel the
blood again stir wildly in him.

Van Buren, Slightly Defeated.

EDITORS BULLET1N:-On Satur-
day night the 9TH, the Middleburg
debating society met and discussed
the question, ''Resolved that
Women Weld More Influence Over
Men Than Money" and two of the
best orators of the settlement spoke
against the Van Buren, boys, and
slightly defeated them. The Van
Buren, boys made it so monstrous
and scandulous hot for them that
they tore out of the harness, and
left their questions and went heels
over head into politics. They
think the Van Buren, boys are not
versed in politics, but they will
soon hear from them on political
economy. 1t may be that some of
you do not understand the general
run of the argument. The cham
pion on the off side never produ-
ced any argument in his first speech,
The second speaker on the off side
said that women were causing more
men to 60 to destruction than any
thing else in the whole ''universi-
ty." We do not know where that
university is located, but, of
course, he does. | have reported

their 2-year-old-daughter and the g.
year-old son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Michael Maxwell being betrothed
in marriage. The ceremony was
presided over by Grandfather Mas,
and the parents of the little ones
may be said to have acted as spon-
sors for the principles, each of the
four promising fervently to endeav-
or religiously to remind the chill
dren of their own and parental
VOWS.
The ceremony was followed by
feasting and mirth, which remind
ed one of real wedding, or an old
fashioned Christening. The bride
to-be was dressed in white, with a
wreath of natural flowers. Her
promised husband wore a sailor
suit of navy blue, with white ruff
fed shirt bosom. After the vows
were pronounced by the parent
sponsors, the parents and children
slipped wine from one glass, bride
and groom-elect slipping first. The
little couple seemed to enter hearth
y into the affair, as if they were
,ognizant of its full Significance

IT is beyond the power of
elOquence or malediction to
efface from memory the panic
which overspread this coun-
try in 1898, caused by the
uncertainty as to whether
this country would maintain
its present standard of value,
or descend to that Of the bar
barrie. Though the per cap
tia was equal to that of
the present day the dark
cloud of unrest lowered over
our land, and from the
North, South, East and West,
with lightning rapidity, the
wires flashed the unwelcome
news of failure after failure.
Mercantile establishments
which. hitherto, had been en-
gagged in a prosperous bust
ness succumbed to the inevi-
table. Banks that had gain
ed and maintained the conf
dence of their patrons were
no longer considered as safe
repositories. Merchants
who had furnished farmers
were no longer able to &C
quire further credit, hence
were unable, in many instan :
ces, to fulfill their contracts.
American securities, held by
foreign investors, were sent
back to this country and
money for them demanded.
Last, but by no means least,
followed in it's wake the de-
probation in value ofagricul-
tural commodities. This is
but a brief and partial review
to which this republic was
subjected during that memo
rable period. But when it
seemed that there was no
strong arm to deliver, and
when the cloud Of despair
was even growing in magni-
tude, Grover Cleveland, the
greatest statesman or the
age, declared that he would
use all the means in his power
to maintain the credit of the
country. Not until he came
to the rescue was there any
signal that the lowering
cloud of despair would be
dissipated. Like stone
wall he has stood between
an outraged people and dam
nable politicians. In vain he
has recommended a change
in our financial system. In
vain he has entreated those
vested with power to pass
laws that would rebound to
the country's welfare. But
the response from the time
servers is abuse and threats
to pass a measure that would
render hopeless the ability of
the government to keep both |
metals on a parity and in cir
cuIatlOn---a measure contra
ry to reason, contrary TO the
laws of nations that have at
tempted to use both metals |
as the standard, and a mea-
sure antagonistic to the po-
sition of both Jefferson and
Jackson. True it is that
many who have been loyal
supporters of democracy have
joined in with time-serving
politicians in vilifying our
president, but in this respect
history repeats itself. Moses
who was sent to deliver the
Israelites from Egyptian
bondage was also abused.
But the time will come when
the name of Grover Cleve-
land will be revered and his
statescraft recognized, while
the INSTRUCTORS of his wise ,,
policy will be known as men
who were unable and incom- /
oetent to grasp and grapple {
with weighty measures.

At Pocaiello.

The two factions Of the Republican
party which met at pocatello last Sat
urday, had a very short clash at arms
over their differences. The Shoup-Mc-
Connell- -Borah Hepburn faction were
knocked down and dragged out of the
ring with brutal celerity and then the
Sweet Dubois crowd had their own
way. The convention confirmed the
sentiment of all the county conventions,
except Ada, with vim and sent the
parties who are willing to make the
financial question a secondary consider
alton and place the old protection cry
as the shibboleth, promptly to the rear
So far the convention did exactly aight
but is it not just possible that the work
was done with a harshness that permit
ted Mr.. Sweet to pay off old personal
grugdes little too much to his own
taste to be the best thing for his party?
Was it good policy to refuse to recog-
nize the faithful manner in which Mr..
Shoup has represented the interests of
Idaho in the Senate and to virtually
declare their lack of faith in his hon
esty on the financial question because
he had differed in opinion with the
."High Five" on the propriety of taking
up the Dingley bill? Was not the
great slight shown Mr. Shoup, merely
qualification Of personal spite on the
part Of Mr.. Sweet to get even with him
for defeating him for the senatorship?
The convention in thus relegating to
the. rear a gentleman who has been
conspicuous in his party in Idaho for
so long, and whose personal and polit-
ical honesty have not been seriously
questioned, has at least not played the
part Of good politics.
