stance, no matter whom 1T may
strike, let the punishment of the
offender be swift and sudden. If
any election officers violated their
oath, any man unprecedented am

wrong, give mm what he de-
serves, proper punishment.
The office Of Governor of this
State of Tennessee had better re-
main vacant for a few years that
that this constant cry OF fraud,

the worst of it is, that when. the
fraud is found out, nothing is
done to prevent its reoccurence.
II the Legislature Of TWO years
ago had acted as good citizens
instead of part zans, the contest
of this year might not have been
necessary, but the population OF
the penitentiary would doubtless
have been much augmented.
We want fair, honest elections
and nothing else, and we want d
Legislature which is equal to ilE

LOW WAGES.

Why is the South IN such a
condition of poverty? Why is
it that we hear of SO few rich
men who are rich because they
earned their riches in a lega!
aud honest way. This IS a ques-
tion which can be answered in
one way by considering the wa1
ges which are paid to labor.
That labor is cheup in the South
is tie constant cry Of several inN
1idential newspapers and trade
journals which reacb this office.
Manufacture your raw cotton
mere in the South where it is
grown and in addition to saving
the freight on it to your northern
factory and back, you will have
cheap labor. People here will
work for almost nothing, and
they will sell the time which
ought to be valuable, dirt cheap.
In fact, gentlemen, if you are
shrewd and drive d hard bargain
with them, you can get two for
the price of one. Another eX-
ceIIeut thing is, gentlemen, they
they can't get away from you.
They can hardly live on what
you pay them now, and they will
not dare to go on strike and
stop the production of wealth for
You. If they should be SO un.
wise "a to do that, do not be al
all worried. There are thOus
ands and thousands OF negroes
who are just climbing over each
other to take the place of white
labor, and, gentlemen, those me-
groes will work for less than the
whites, If you only set them the
price. &c. &c.
And this is the way they write
and all the while proclaim with
with exalted boastings of what
great things they are doing TO
the South. Does the SOuti
want to be second edition o
Ireland with her hOrds OF half
starved aud halt-naked people
Is it of any advantage to tn
South to have a system like thu
engrafted upon heI? Wonld
be OF advantage to any cOuntr
il any part of the world? No
the South does not want thu
civilization which does not civil
ize. If her people are to b
gwen wages which reduce then
ton condition If pauperism, sh
will never get out of the rat c
i.literacy iuto which she is nov
plunged.

FAIR-CRAVEN CASE.
Testimony in Proof That the Deeds
Were Forgeries.

SAN FRANCISCO, May ). - When
the suit of the Fair heirs and execu-
tors against Mrs. Nettie Craven was
resumed to-day the plaintiff presented
a most important stage of the case,
direct proof of forgery of the Craven
deeds and certificates of acknowledge
ment attached thereto. The papers
and exhibits used in the preliminary
examination of ex-Notarv Cooney,
charged with perjury, in having, it is
alleged, signed the certificate to a false
acknowledgment of Fairs signature to
the deds.
w. T.. Sanford, emplOye of the
Croker Printing Company, testified
to the execution of the order for TO-
600 legal blanks of the precise descrip-
ton used by Cooney in his acknowledge
ment of the Craven deeds. These blanks
were not executed until January, 1896,
sixteen months after the supposed eXecu-
ton and acknowledgment of the deeds.
The cross examination of this witness
failed to shake his testimony.

KANSAS senator, w. M. Stewart, is
credited with the following interview
in the New York Times: ''There is no
room for pessimism is this country
No one can be a bear in the face of
the wheat famine in Argentina, Rus
STA, Hungary and India. In view of
this condition abroad, I should not be
surprised to see silver sell as low as 25
cents and wheat as high as 81. There
is nothing in talking silver at the
present time, and my advice to my
friends in the west is to fall into line
with the forces of prosperity and
progress, and receive their due share
of the reward. The time has passed
for the old issues. We must turn to
face new conditions.''
