CHARLES A. DANA.
The Greatest Newspaper Editor
Since Horace Greeley.
He Passed Away at Glen Cove, L. L, After
an Illness of Several Months, During
Which HIS Demise was Expected
at Any Moment by His Family.

New YORK, Oct 1S.-Charles A. Dana
died at 1:2O yesterday afternoon at his
home in Glen Cove.
New YORK, Oct. fs.-Mr. Dana's
death had been expected for several
hours and his family and physicians
were at his bedside when the end
came. His condition had been such
for several months that the members
of his family had kept themselves in
constant readiness to go to his bedside
at any moment.
On Saturday morning he had re-
lapse. and it was apparent that recov-
cry was impossible. Several times,
however, he rallied, but toward night
began to sink. During the night there
were feeble rallies, but they did not
last long. Yesterday morning it was
seen that the end was but few hours
off, and his attendants remained al
most constantly at his bedside. The
end came quietly.
The extreme heat of Saturday and
Friday had much to do with fastening
death.
On Friday Mr.. Dana showed signs of
distress, and everything possible was
done to relieve him. He had been
weakened by his long illness, and dur
ing the summer was several times
thought to be on the verge of fatal
collapse, but each time rallied. He
did not improve much with the COM
ing cooler weather, and the sinking
spells became more frequent
On Friday Mr. Dana was able to take
only the lightest nourishment and
this condition continued. Paul Dana
and his sisters, Mrs. Draper Mrs. I'm
derhiu and Mrs. Branan, were at his
home on Saturday morning and were
warned to remain there. They were
at the bedside when death came.

The Centennial VIII Close October 80.

Much discussion has sprung up as to
whether the Tennessee Centennial will
be continued beyond October 80. Pres
ident Thomas has set all doubts at rest
by stating that the gates will positively
close October 80, to open no more.
This action, he says, is taken because of
legal points involved, and because he
knows the great enterprise can close
October 80, a financial success, while to
continue an unscheduled month would
drag things out and naturally make the
ultimate result doubtful.

TENNESSEE STATE NEWS
state Board of Enuallzers.

Nashville, Oct. 15.-The State board
of equalizers, composed of Governor
Taylor, Secretary of State Morgan and
Treasurer Craig, took up the railroad,
telephone and telegraph assessment to-
day.
The first matter considered was the
reading of an application from a num-
Der of corporations for hearing before
the board should pass an assessment.
The ication was dated Oct. IS.
The point is made that even had the
records been in the hands of the board
on the date the application was written,
the board would not have time in which
to do their work carefully and consid-
erately, if it complied with the letter
of the statute and returned the certified
records to the comptroller on or before
the third Monday in October, which is
Monday next. The matter was sub
mitted to Attorney-GeneraI Pickle, and
he decided that the law was only di-
rectory, and that the board had right
to extend the time for hearings if it so
desired. Secretary Morgan was directed
to notify companies, and tonight this
telegram went to representatives of
every corporation assessed:
''The assessment of your property
has been filed with the board of equal
izers and will be taken up and disposed
of on or before the 18th instant unless
you shall notify us in the meantime of
your desire for a special hearing before
the board. In that event we will fix a
date and notify you. W. S. MORGAN,
Secretary of State"
1t is expected that all railroads, tele-
graph and telephone companies will
make this special application.

Bad State of Affairs in Carroll County.

Bad State of Affairs in Carroll County.
Lavina, Carroll county, or near that
point, was the battle-ground one night
last week for warning factions, and one
dead and probably four fatally wounded
is the result. A large party of white
caps went to the home of Dot Price, a
negro, and riddled the doors and win
dows of his cabin with bullets, break
ing his arm. The negro, with his arm
dangling by his side, reached the win
dow and fred repeatedly into the crowd,
groans and yells testifying to his deadly
aim. The morning sun disclosed hor-
rible sight. William Sires, a white
man, was lying dead in a pool of blood,
surrounded by four companions, dying
from hideous wounds. The bodies were
soon spirited away, bat it is said that
three wounded men will die. The
whitecaps have notified the negroes to
leave the county on several occasions,
and swear to exterminate them on re-
fusing to leave. Sires was literally
shot to pieces and must have died in
stantly.

Mr.. Secretary of the Treasury that is to
be, Lyman J. Gage, has given out an. in
terview outlining his financial creed. 1t
is goldbug. of the gold bugs. If anything
all improvement on "Barou" Rothschild.
He believes there can be no money but
gold or silver, and silver is very danger
our money, consequently but little of that
should be permitted; just enough to make
change in breaking a gold coin. The
Sherman notes, $50, ZOO, 900, should be
drawn in and destroyed and the silver
purchased with them sold as bullion; the
greenbacks should be destroyed also.
Mr. Gage says that greenbacks, treas
ury notes and national bank notes are not
money, though passing as money; that
the government cannot make money, but
gold should be considered money. In
short, Mr.. Gage is in favor Of "commod-
ity" money. and the commodity selected
for that purpose should be gold, that the
banks should issue all the notes to be
used as money, which financial theory
boiled down to an extract, to use chem
lists expression, is that every dollar used
by the people in transacting business
should pay tribute to bankers, all issues
of government paper having been de-
stroyed. If Mr.. Gage gives the key note
correctly this is to be Mr.. Kinley's finan-
cial policy. This supplies matters. We
are to have men who know what they
want and say what they mean, which
Cleveland and Carlisle never did.

The Arbitration Treaty which created
a nine day sensation is a sentimental
humbug, an English trick to get the
better of the United States after tying
their hands by diplomacy. This country
wants no such treaty with monarchical
powers. They mean to deal justly with
all other nations, and they are able to
compel other nations to deal justly with
them. No treaty for that purpose is
needed
But the name of universal peace treaty
with all nations set all the Sunday School
teachers and charity societies to stopping
over. Monarchy, Aristocracy and Plu-
tocracy are in an alliance offensive and
defensive to rob the rest of the world
whenever an opportunity offers, by stealth
or by force, treaties or no treaties. The
| United States wants freedom from en-
tangling alliances with Europe, in place
of more of them. Let us break the chains
that already bind us in place of helping
| to rivet other chains on ourselves.
The monarchies and aristocracy of
| Europe hate and fear this republican gov
eminent, and if the opportunity offered
would join hands to destroy it in toto, if
they had to break hundred treaties.
England was the main and chief pro-
moter and fomentor of the slavery rebel
lion and did all she dared to divide and
break up the Union and destroy republi-
can government.
The usurping French Emperor sent a
Frenzy army and an Austrian prince to
convert Mexico into a monarchy, and
would have succeeded had not the United
States smashed and scattered all their
enemies and presented such a terrifying
power to the eyes of all Europe, that they
have feared and hated this nation ever
since. and are now trying to blarney us
while both hands are i'll onr pockets
robbing our people, and lot of fools are
ready to slop over with mawkish seuti-
ment and run their heads into the lions
mouth. Every government in the old
world, except that of Switzerland, is built
on the edge of a sword and is plotting
against this republic. Its success is their
irrevocable downfall. The success of this
republic means death to monarchy in the
end. Hence they fear and fatter this
people, with knife up their sleeve. We
want no treaties to compel us to keep the
peace, but sleepless watch against for
eign ROYALTY and home toryisnl.

The New York FiRdRcier complains
that all the money in the country is being
sent TO that city so that II is conges;ed
there, and suggests if it were invested in
business in the county, that boom in
business might be started, that such boom
cannot be started in New York
The cause which sends money from all
the country banks 10 New York for two
per cent interest, which New York banks
allow them, is very plaiu. There is no
business in the country that dare borrow
money and hope 10 come out whole on
falling prices-and prices continue to fall
every week-hence the uncalled for de-
posits in country banks are sent to New
York where the only business that ven-
lures to invest the borrowed money is
gambling. This is a solu-
ton to the problem which bothers the
Financier. New York stock gambling
and kindred business is about all the
business the gold standard has left stand
ing. Everything else has been mown
down before its gatling guns.

Baby Eckels, Comptroller Of the
T.. Treasury, has been before the
House Committee amusing the
members with his baby talk on fl
nance and what he don't know
about it. He opened his baby talk
by declaring the present condition
of the country is not so much due
to defects in the monetary system
as it is to overtrade, overproduc-
ton, and extravaganza in private
and public expenditures.
This bit of Eckels wisdom made
the committee smile and prepared
them to anticipate the good things
Mr.. Eckels had in store ior them.
"Improved" credit was more i'm
portant than money, was another
chunk of Eckels financial wisdom.
The first essential in this country
was the stability of public credit.
The apparent reluctance of the
people of the United States to re-
deem their public obligations was
the chief cause of distrust, the baby
went on to say, and in the face of
the fact that they, the people of the
United States, have paid nearly five
thousand millions of this kind of
obligation in the last 25 years.
1t is not matter for surprise that
there are those who doubt the sue
cess of popular government when
such men as Cleveland and Eckels
are found at the head of a popular
government. 1t shows dense ig-
norance in the masses.
Eckels says he thinks he and
Gage will get along together nicely;
as tho they were going to keep the
baby to act the mountebank any
longer than it takes to kick him out.
