Under the above caption an article ap-
peared n the Johnson City Staff of last
week, and we were, for a time, at a loss
as to how it should be regarded whether
as a burlesque or as an exhibition of un-
mitigated gall. Within the last day
or two, however, we have had unmis.
taxable evidence that it was inspired by
desire and intention to dismember the
county, in fact a bill was drafted and
sent to our Representative in the Legis-
lature at Nashville providing that the
ninth Civil District of Washington
County should be attached to Carter
County" The Staff says:
To say that this bill will create a sensation
is putting 1t mildly. The passage of this act
and the transfer OF this district to Carter
County would deprive Washington County
of one third of her revenue for schools and
other purposes, and would reduce the salar-
les OF county officials to such an extent that
county pie would scarcely be worth having.D
Every time a Johnson City man runs
for an office his is defeated, and every time
Johnson City asks anything from the County
Court she gets the cold should err" SThere
Is no doubt hat Carter County would treat
us literally, for she could well afford to do
SO, and as for what would be left of Wash.
lngton ~County-well that would be more
shell than substance, but there would prob
ably be enough male voters left to hold the
ofhces. In the meantime, If the bill passes,
look out for a rat killing time of it,"
We do not know how much Johnson
City gets back from the school fund, but
we do know that she pays no more here
than she would if in Carter County, and
1t is certain that she gets back all the
law allows her.
If the assertion that Johnson City men
are always defeated for office, be true,
how does it come that Crumley, Pouder,
Mathes, Duncan, Browning and others
have held office in and for the county?
ALI OF these are or were when elected
johnson City men.
Before Johnson City had an existence
Washington County was something
more than a shell, and should johnson
City seceede it is our opinion that the
shell would still contain meat sufficient
FOR practical purposes. But if it would
leave us probably only enough male
voters to hold the offices, the puzzle be-
comes more puzzling as to why johnson
City men are always defeated when thew
run for office.

The acting Governor of Tennessee
who is now playing the role of Caesar
the Great, wanted the Legislature to
give him twenty five thousand dollars
to mobilize his grand army on no un.
certain war footing. The Legislature
gave him only ten thousand dollars,
and to this extent extinguished the fire
OF his martial ardor. This is an I'M
p~recedentedly slim sum out of which

of the munitions of war, to say nothing
of its tinsel acoutrements, such as
shields, helmets, cockades, silken
sashes and banners, and t%assels, laces,
embroideries and e~paulettes of gold.
The Centennial Exposition will be

are over and the Queen of May shakes
out her royal robes. And the desire

What makes the il~liberality of the

excusable is the fact that money was

was never greater. the rewards of in

ANOTHER CABINET DEPARTMENT

Hon. Walter P. Brownlow has intro
duced a billin Congress for the creation
OF another Cabinet portfolio, that of
Commerce, Labor and Manufactures.
1t was referred to the Committee on
Inter State and Foreign Commerce,
before whom Mr.. Brownlow will make
an elaborate argument in favor of his
proposition.
The business of the Government is
expanding in proportion to the growth
of population and the consequent in.
crease of industrial enterprise and &C.
t~ivities. The labor that tills the fields,
mans the factories and gives form and
substance to the projects of capital
certainly merits special consideration.
That which supplies our food and
raiment, feeds our commerce and in
creases our wealth and independence,
should be the first to receive the bene
fits of the Government supervision and
the fostering care of that 'paternal.
ism" so greatly misunderstood and
soundly breated by our Democratic
brethren. At the beginning this land
was dedicated to labor and in becom.
ing a nation of laborers we are fulfill
ing decree and destiny.
Mr.. Brownlow's proposition is re.
ceived with great favor by those who
take a deep interest in the material
development of the country and the
prospect of its enactment into law is
very encouraging, Notwithstanding a
killing frost has been specially ordered
for it by many Democratic newspa-
pers.
Labor, as it is our national calling,
should not only be well cared for, but
it should be elevated, dignifed and
ennobled. No agency will accomplish
this d%esideratum more rapidly and eff
fectually than by honoring the labor.
