TO OUR PATRONS.

1t is not q pleasure to US to ask our
subscribers who are in arrears, to help
us now. But like any other business,
that of publishing a paper a not be
done successfully unless its bills are
met promptly, and in order to do so
those owing the paper must pay up.
Really it should not be necessary to
ask for what is due us, but circum.
stances compel us to do SO, and we
hope no one will take offense at us for
so doing. This appeal is directed es-
pecially to those who are in arrears foI
two or more years.

THERE seems to be a studied effort on
the part of certain East Tennessee Re-
publicans to make 1t appear that Con.
gresham Brownlow is fighting H.
Clay Evans for a Cabinet position.
This is perhaps due to the fact that
they do not love Evans more but Brow
low less, and thinking that it would be
unpopular to oppose Evans they are
endeavoring to force Brownlow into
that attitude. This strikes us as being
decidedly poor politics and only the
worse for those who are engaging it it.

A GREAT deal of talk is seer in the
papers in reference to the daggers
Brownlow and Evans have up their

mostly from Democrats, and enemies of
Brownlow who want to use Evans to

man elect. We don't see why there
should be wal between Brownlow and
Evans, but II there is such a thing, we

LET US WAKE UP.

The old town of Jonesboro ought to
put herself in readiness to turn over a
new leaf when the Mckinley admins.
tration comes in. She should devote
her energies to some other pursuits be.
sides banking and selling drugs, agri-
cultural implements, hardware, dry
goods and groceries. These enterprises
are all necessary to the life, progress
and convenience of the community,
but they either lock up what money
there is or send it out of the country to
the trade centers from whence it never
returns.
II Jonesboro had years ago invited
the capital that was willing and eager
to locate here, or had she herself estab-
lished industrial plants with the means
invested in ventures from which the
general public derives little or no bene
fit, she would now, like Greeneville or
other towns in East Tennessee, be a
bustling, progressive, wide awake
town, with an abundance of money
and with enlarging enterprises and in
creasing activities to obtain more.
1t is the smaller industries that pay
the handsome dividends. The beauti
full and thriving towns of the West are
proof of this. You hardly strike a
town or a village in all that vast terri
tory but what is filled with shops and
factories conducted on a very modest
scale compared with the industrial es.
Establishments of the large cities, and
this Is the whole secret OF the intelli.
gence, aspiration, conteDtment and
substantial wealth of their populations.
Everyone has employment and is con-
stantly on the move.
Jonesboro has natural advantages
equal. If not greatly superior, to any
of these localities, and it is exclusively
her W fault that she is not today in
line with them in industry, activity
and wealth.
Now is the time for Jonesboro to
rouse herself up, put on new garments
and take her place in the procession
heading for the promised land of thrift
and abundance. The election of Nc.
Kinley is sending the bounding cur
rent of new life through the nation. II
is a time of great promises and expec.
tations. A prosperity greater than we
have ever before enjoyed, is bound to
come. Giving the principles of the
Republican party, embodied in the po-
litical life and character Of the Presi
dent elect, the full force and effect of
law is all that is needed to bring into
service the unequaled and
advantages OF this section. The gen.
eral prosperity of the country, which
will be the inevitable sequence of its
new hope and life, assures this develop.
ment. The communities that prepare
themselves for its coming will rear
rich profits in the accumulation oil
property and all those agencies tina
make life worth living.

FEY ON THE COAST.

The war scares which of late have
this country to devising ways and
means for meeting possible hostility,
are not bad thing for the country.
Last week, for example, an import
ant secret meeting of high officers of
the navy for the purpose of consider
ing plans for the defense of the Allan
tic and Gulf coasts of the United
States was neld at the Navy Depart
ment, and was ate nded by Rear Ad-
miral Francis NJ. Ramsey, chief Of the
bureau Of navig alton; Rear Admir-
al Francis M. Bunce, commanding the
North Atlantic squadron; Capt. w.
D. Sampson, chief of the bureau of
ordinance; Capt. Heury @. Taylor,
president of tn naval war college, and
Lieut.. Commander Richard Vain
wright, chief of the bureau of naval
intelligence. These officers were in
session for some time, and as a result
of their deliberations, a report was
prepared and submitted to Secretary
Herbert, embodying their views as to
a campaign Of offense and defense
should the occasion arise fer the en-
ployment of a program Of this charac-
ter.
The idea was to make ready for any
and the plans for coast
defenses were studied carefully. Such
action as this can do no harm, for war
is always a possibility, and the best
way to prevent it is to be prepared
for it,

DUCK HUNTING.

Some Of the papers which are natu-
rally disposed to find fault with Pres
ident Cleveland, take occasion every
now and then to berate him because
he goes.duck hunting once in while.
If this is really a fault at all, it is one
of the smallest fault the President
has. That he should spend a few
weeks annually fishing for scuilions
down at the salt water, or that he
should get away once in while upon
a duck shooting expedition is not
specially bad. The government ma
chine is all in motion with some of
his best men watching the move
ments, and he really has little to do
but to see the thing trundle. The
President is a very fat man, and is
afflicted with ailments which make it
necessary for him to take out-of-
door exercise, and, perhaps he needs
the breezes of the sea, or the excite
ment of the duck haunted bog. As
between few ducks or a few fish it is
far better that the President pro-
long his life than that fish and the
ducks swim the waters of the rivers
and the sea. Give him a chancs to
ward off the govt or the dangerous
symptoms which assail a
man of his tremendous avoirdupois.

THE ADVANCE OF TEMPERANCE.

The falling Of the vote in the Pro-
hibition party at the last election
seems to have been the last thing that
worries the party managers, and they
doubtless are able to view it with
greater equanimity now that only
seven members of the national house
of representative voted against Mr..
Morse's bill to forbid the selling of
liquors in the Capitol at Washington,
number which, by it's very fewness
is Indicative of the great advance the
temperance cause has made during
our own time. Even if prohibition as
political issue has not gained in
strength, every one must concede
that the temperance agitation in all
its phases, both political and social,
has had profound effect of the ut
most benefit to society and the state.
The more ardent and radical reform
ers may entertain pessimistic views
at times, yet they, too, will admit
how much worse these things used to
be. A century ago in England the
owners of gin-m mills were accustomed
to advertise their readiness to make
men drunk for one penny, dead drunk
for two pennies nd then give them
straw to sleep on for nothing. A re-
cent work on social customs in that
day says that London and the great
English towns were more like the
scene of a bacchanal than the resid-
ence Of civil society. Ever since then
both in England and America, there
has been steady Improvement, and
this will continue in the future as in
the past. Sta .esnl1n.

THE BUSINESS SITUATION.

The business situation during the
past week has been relatively quiet,
and, as a rule, dull. This is only to
| be expected in view of the fact that
the trade oflast autumn was poor, and
retail firms are pretty well supplied
with stock enough to meet the de-
mands Of the Christmas shoppers. 1t
rarely happens that December is
busy month in wholesale trade in any
year, SO that the existing quiet con-
ditions are practically a repetition of
the usual story. 1
Foreign exchange has attracted
good deal of attention during the past
week, and good many stories of en-
gagements for gold exports have
been heard during the past few days.
There may be some gold exports dur
ing the next few weeks, but it is not
at all likely that these exports will be
in large volume. The United States
practically dominates the gold mar
ket today; and there is no danger
that the amount of exports will be
large enough to cause any serious
trouble on this side. The easiness of
money rates here and the lack of
gold abroad, are practically the only
factors tending to favor exports.
On the other hand, the United
States is still the creditor Gas regards
gold Ito an amount estimated at $780,,
900, 900. If the business interests of
this country chose to do SO, they
could compel imports to this amount;
but they do not. They prefer to hold
the credit account, to check any pos
sible t,ndency of a gold drain in the |
future, SO that this country is reason
ably safe from any such drain for a
good many months ahead. Altogether |
the situation has not been so strongly
in favor Of this country, SO far as re-
CARDS the supply, for some years in
the past.

FREE SIVER COINAGE.

The treasury officers now have on
their hands very troublesome class
of counterfeiters. That the depart
ment is considerab bly, perplexed to
know how to han die the sharps is
freely acknowledged on the inside
but lest the public so 6dld become APP
prehensive concen}kng any form of
money studied eHf6Et is made at the
department to belity such reports as
occasionally get outy refer to the
counterfeit silver dollaf, which is in
trinsically just good as the regular
article. The three main character
istics of coin upon which it's gem
uineness may be tested are its weight,
its fineness, and its stamp, or ex-
ternal appearance. 1t is generally
acknowledged that there ia nothing
to prevent the counterfeiter from
getting the same weight and fineness
of silver that the government dollar
carries, although det9ctions in the
past have generally been by reason of
slight variations in these particulars
But what is troubling the department.
now is the accuracy with. which the
rascals are approaching the govern
ment,s standard rss
In the matter of stamp, it was sew
eral years ago ascertained that pro-
cess had been discovered by which
stamp could be made from any coin
itself, and this matter was tested at
the United States mint and found to
be true. The government has now
IN its employ men who can take any
coin put into their hands and get out
a stamp which is practically an exact
copy of it. The only substantial diff
ference is that stamp SO made from
an impression on the coin wall not
wear so well as one made in the regu-
lar way, and hence after certain
number of dollars have been struck
off, the coins become little rougher
and more open to detection. The
counterfeiters can, however, obviate
this difficulty by taking frequent i'm
pressions, and, in fact, the bogus dol
lar people have attained such skill
that the treasury authorities are con-
siderably perplexed. There is one
practical method of running down |
the counterfeiters, however, which |
treasury expert declared today was |
really the best reliance of the public,
namely the suspicion which anybody |
would attract who was attempting TO |
work off great number of silver dol
lars, and hence the greater difficulty
the counterfeiters would have in
marketing their product.
Tt should be borne in mind that
