RAINS, The DRUGGIST.

The mission of the Nashville Ban
ner is to SANDER the South. Stahl-
man, its owner, and Baskette, its
editor, know that they have lost the
confidence and respect of the white
people who know them, and in turn
they are mad and desperate because
their sins have found them out. If
any speaker or writer suggests that
possibly some fraud was committed
by the Republicans in Indiana,
Ohio, or other Mckinley states, i'm
mediately the Banner resents the
accusation and pours out its vituper-
alton upon the "rotten boroughs" of
the South. The Banner is an every
day insult to the Southern people
who read it, and its every issue is a
libel upon the South. We submit
in all honesty and candnr, that the
men of Middle Tennessee owe it to
their manhood to boycott it out of
existence. The right of free speech
is one thing, and the right daily to
libel and traduce state as the Ban
ner does Tennessee, and to SANDER
its best people, is another thing. We
do not object to the Banners poll
tics; it has none. What we do OBJ
ject to is its remorseless, its vindic-
tive, its malicious, its wilfully false
charges against Tennessee in par
ticular and the South in general,
and we do think that the self-respec-
ted merchants and business men OF
Nashville should organize boycott
against the Banner for the foul and
false utterances it daily gives forth
in its alleged news and editorial
columns.

THE Americans Washington cor

THE Americans Washington cor
respondent says "the business" men
all over the country are protesting
against the continued agitation of
the silver question. These are the
same business men" who have been
protesting" all the while. They
are the heads or hirelings of corpora
tions, trusts and combines. The
same correspondent would make it
appear that Mark Hanna is respon-
sible for this continued silver agita-
ton. That the merest bosh. Hanna
would be glad enough to let the sub
ject drop. This dodge is intended to
fool the people. To make them stop
agitating the question because
Hanna is agitating it. 1t is too
gauzy lie to be believed by any
body. If the American was not own
ed by gold bugs and Republicans it
would not publish such stuff.

THE price of coal has been raised
to the people of the country % cents
ton since the election, which
means about $5O,OOO,OO0 a year to the
coal trust. Prior to the election the
price was raised one dollar a ton.
But the wages of the miners have
not advanced on the contrary, in
several instances they have been
cut down. We had no doubt but
that trusts would prosper under the
fostering care of Republican policies,
but this is not the kind of prosperity,
of which Mckinley led the people
to believe that he was the advance
agent. "Be these Juggling fiends no
more believed; they palter with us
in a double sense; they keep the
word of promise to the ear but break
it to the hope"

NASHVILLE had Fair once,
which they called the Tennessee
Fair Association" There was moth
ing in the name, except the purpose
to bring stock and people and trade
to Nashville. The Tennessee Fair
Association" had one or two meets,
then died the death of all flim-fam
games. Nashville now has a "Ten-
nessee Centennial Association" 1t
is the same old fraud under another
name, and will die the same death
as the other. The State has twice
refused to own it by any sort of
appropriation. FOur-fifths of the
counties of the State have refused to
give aid to it. Its first Director
General was carpet bag Republi-
can. 1t is a fake and a fraud pass
ing itself off under an assumed name.
1t will be disappointment to its
friends, worry to the public and
will end in bankruptcy.

ALEXANDER S. CLAY, the new
Senator from Georgia, was once
challenged to fight a duel, and he
declined in these words: II am OPP
posed to duelling. am opposed to
it because it is prohibited by the
constitution of this State, that 1
have frequently sworn to support
and defend. l am opposed to it be-
cause it is condemned by every
principle of our laws and every doc
trine of our religion. l am opposed
to it because l am unwilling to COM
nit murder, or to become a party to
its commission by others. I never
intend to take the lifo of human
being, unless it is absolutely neces-
sary to do so in self-defense.
Nor have 1 done you any wrong
that entities you to redress at my
hands. 1 have done you no in
Justice. If l had, 1 am manly
enough to confess il and make the
proper reparation for it," From
this it is evident that the new Sena-
tor is every inch man. 1t took
more courage to write that note
than it did to fight duel.

TO-DAY the soul of Frank John
son will be ushered into eternity.
Thus saith the law. His crime was
wicked one, and such a crime
deserves such a punishment. But
when Frank Johnson stands at the
final judgement before the Great
Judge and is called upon to render
an account of his stewardship and
to make known what was done with
the one talent that was given him;
when he says, / was born in ignor-
ance, in poverty and in sin; my
parents knew little of the light of
Gods love and cared less concern
ing my morals or my future; my
associates were of a depraved class,
and through the eighteen short
years of my thoughtless, careless,
INDECENT life, l never came in direct
touch with any human being who
took the pains seriously and sys-
tematically to take me away from
bad associates and awaken in me
better thoughts and higher aspira-
tions. / lived much as the beasts of
the field, and lacked the care, the
attention and the training that these
more favored beasts received. The
law of the land in which 1 lived
furnished no place of refuge for
such as L no school of correction,
no friendly home to reclaim me. /
was permitted in my ignorant, dark,
clouded, weak, wicked way to STUN
BILE along without chart or compass;
nay, l was not only permitted to
stumble, but pitfalls-such hell
holes as gambling dens and whisky
dives-were prepared for me to fall
in, until at last, having imbibed
moral pertilence from my every day
surroundings, Ibecame unconscious
ly, unintentionally utterly de-
PRAYED; and though l knew, or
thought 1 knew, IN dim, uncertain
sort of way the difference between
right and wrong, still I did not
realize the Nervousness of my deed,
1 could not appreciate my duty
to society and my fellow man. That
1 erred is true, and that I most
grievously answered for it is like
wise true. What 1 was and what I
did, it seems to me my birth, lack of
education and most unfortunate
associations compelled me to.
Never did the law seem to care for
me until it sought my life; then, in
deed, 1 found it too late to undo
what 1 had done. When Frank
Johnson shall stand at the last day
and say these things which are true,
then will the Great Judge in mercy,
judge him according to the talents
which he had and the weaknesses
of the law and foolishness of the
law makers of the land where he
lived.

THE Board of Mayor and Alder
men of Columbia meet in regular
session tonight, and we wish to
call their special attention to the in
efficient service given the public by
the company proposing to furnish
them with electric lights. Manager
Moore is doubtless doing the best he
can with the material on hand; but
the trouble is in WORKOUT plant,
that, doubtless, was cheap stuff to
begin with. Just what the trouble
is, and where it is, we are not pre-
pared to say, but that the service is
unreliable and not at all satisfac-
tory, is the general verdict. Ac-
cidents will happen and cannot be
avoided; but such frequent accidents
as have happened 70 the lights late
ly; such repeated break-downs and
continuous non-service, are not to be
excused as accidents. The consul
mers have right to expect good
service and to rely upon it, and not
to be called upon every week or two
to overhaul ther old lamps or buy
new ones, and they have a right tC
expect that the city fathers will pro.
tect them in their rights.

The Nashville Centennial adven-
turers are preparing to make anoth-
er raid upon the pockets of the peo-
pie by an appropriation bill through
the legislature; and it is understood
that if such a bill passes Governor
Taylor will sign it. The one fatal
fault with Governor Taylor is that
he can't say no.

THERE are at least two reasons
why a thorough investigation of the
recent election should be had. One
is to detect fraud and punish the
perpetrators. Another is to learn
what frauds are being perpetrated,
and then pass such laws as will pre-
vent them. Tennessee should have
an election law that will give the
people pure ballot.

THE gold bug papers, the day
after the election, announced with
a great flourish that stocks and
bonds and collateral securities had
advanced several million dollars in
value. But how about horses and
hogs, farming lands and farm pro-
ducts? We have never doubted but
the Palmerites and McKinleyites
were working for the interest of
Wall street. We have never ques-
toned but Mckinley was the adj
vance agent of that coterie of pluto

THE VOTE IN VERMONT.

cradle importance to the result of the
election which has just been held there.
II the silver sentiment had made heavy
inroads into New England it would b.
as likely to show itself in Vermont as
in any Of the neighbOring States. In
stead Of suffering from the silver move
ment, however, the Republicans Of the
State have gained immensely, their
total majority being now estimated at
between $4,000 and $4,000.
This is notably bigger majority than
Vermont has ever returned for Re-
publican candidate; but the significant
thing is that, while the Republican
majority Is larger, the whole vote is
In proportion, larger still, being much
greater than in previous years. The
vote OF the State in 1892 was 55,774; in
1894 1t was 5s,O15. At this election, ac
cording to the best returns obtalnable,
