The Maryville times. (Maryville, Tenn.) 1884-1944, 1897-01-09

Republican advices from North
Cerolna say the reelecti of Sena-
tor Prichard is now fully assured,
Notwithstanding the opposition of
Senator Marion Butler, an ooposi-
ton which some call treachery.
The news from Kentucky is not so
assuring, owing to party factions
among the republicans which are
being worked for all they are worth
by both wings of the democratic
party. The gould democrats hope
the republicans will fail to elect
Senator because they will then try
to get republican votes for Carlisle
or some other gold democrat, and
the silver democrats want them to
fail because hey believe the legis-
lature can then be deadlocked and
the election thrown over to the
next legislature which they expect
to control. If the republicans of the
Kentucky Legislature are wise they
will get together and elect Senator
tor. Secretary Lamont has issued
an official order directidg the atten-
dance of the cadets of the west
point Military academy at the in
auguration of president elect Nc
Kinley and similar order to the
naval cadets at Annapolis is ex-
pected from Secretary Herbert.
These cadets have not taken part
in an inaugural parade since presi-
dent Grants second Inauguration;
when their exposure without over
coats to the terrible weather of that
day resulted in several deaths and
mucd sickness.

Chairman Dingley has proven
himself to be the right man in the
right place since the tariff hearings
began before the Housc Ways and
Means commute { AZ gentlemen
who have appeafweoo are the COM
mittee have mostly )inen consider
ed experts upon th9Bpss. .icular mat
ters about which - v-a.AI.o, and
some of them have been greatly
surprised to learn by Chairman
Dingley' s comments and questions
that he knew as much or more
about the subject than they did. In
ether words, the experts upon par
ticular schedules or branches of the
tariff have learned that Chairman
Dingley is an expert on all branch
IS of the tariff Without exception
every man who has been heard by
the committee has condemned the
democratic idea of imposing duty
on the value of the article Tadvulo-
rem MS the present tariff does, as
an incentive to fraud and an linjus-
ticc to the honest importer. One
gentleman called attention to the
fact that Turkey was now the only
country besides the United States
that used the advalorem system. 1t
has long ago been settled by the
republicans that the new tariff bill
would i'm pose specific duties.

The democratic members of the
House ways and Means committee
didn't seem to know "Where they
were at" when Mr.. w. r.
r. aig, of Vicksburg, Mis-, who ap
peared before the committee AS the
representative of the growers of
extra" or long staple cotton in
Mississippi, tennessee, Arkansas
and Louisiana, asked for a duty OF
3 cents pound upon Egyptian cot
ton, which comes in direct compe-

A February Freshet.

In accordance with the ground hog
theory, a couple of days of good wealth
er prevailed last week. Friday night
the spell was broken, however, and
rain driven by a fierce eastern gale
began to pour down. All day Satur-
day, nearly, the tempest ragged and
the rain and wind beat violently upon
the earth. The rain as it fell melted
the snow that laid upon the ground,
and the two elements combined soon
turned the little streams into rushing
torrents. The town run was bank
full, and then the water began to
spread. The flats just south Of town
became submerged and the water
poured down Princess and Mil streets,
filling them from curb to curb. The
jewellers on Frog Island had their
customary unpleasant experiences, and
it became necessary to take up carpets
and 90 to a lot of trouble generally.
The Easements and cellars IN a num-
Der of the houses along the two streets
were flooded, and the streets them
selves were badly washed by the rush
ing torrents.
Contrary to general expectation, the
river did not get up to an unusual
height. It was locked firmly with ice
ranging from eight to fifteen inches in
thickness, and this ice did not begin
to move until Sunday morning. 1t
broke up at Shepherdstown about
eight o'clock, and all that day the river
presented most interesting sight, at
times being so thickly covered with
the masses of floating Ice that no wa
ter could be seen at all. No damage
to speak Of was done at any point
The storm was a general one, and
caused higher water in the smaller
streams than in the rivers. Rattle
snake run and the Opequon creek were
bank-fulI and impossible Shenan-
doah Junction was partly submerged,
and passengers had to be transferred
from one railroad to the other on the
baggage trucks. Part of a trestle on
the n. & w. Railway at Elgin was
washed out, and passenger trains We're
delayed six or eight hours

Council Meeting.

The regular meeting of the town
council was held on Monday evening
last, all the member present, and W.
A. Chapline, acting mayor, IN the
chair. The street committee reported
several places where pavement was
lacking. The committee was author
lied to make repairs to streets dam
aged by the food and to look after
other items. 1t was ordered that here
after the salary of the mayor be fixed
at S3Oa year, in addition to his per
diem and fees. The chief of the fire
department reported the engine and
apparatus in good order. 1t was or
dtered that the question Of license or
no license be submitted to the voters
at the coming election. The recorder
was authorized to give notice by adj
vertisement of the election Of mayor,
recorder and five councilmen on March
8th. The acting mayor named Charles
Terrell, R. C. Miller and Thomas 4.
Line as commissioners and John d.
Harp and Jos. E. Smooth as clerks for

The True Remedy.

W. NJ. Repine, editor Tiskilwa, ILL.,,
"Chief," says: We won't keep house
without DR.. Kings New Discovery for
Consumption, Coughs and Colds E1-
perimented with many others, but
never got the true remedy until we
used DR.. Kings New Discovery. No
other remedy can take its place in our
home, as in it we have a certain and
sure cure for Coughs, Colds, Whoop-
ing Cough, etc" 1t is idle to expert
ment with other remedies, even if they
are urged on you as just as good as
DR.. Kings New Discovery. They are
not as good, because this remedy has
a record Of cures and besides is guar
anteed. 1t never fails to satisfy. Trial
bottle free at any Drug Store.

Mr.. Conway Confirmed.

A dispatch from Washington TO the
Baltimore Sun says that the nomina-
ton of John J. Conway to be postmas-
ter at Harper's Ferry was sent in last
Thursday, and within a few hours af-
terward, through the rushing tactics
of Senator Faulkner was confirmed.
This is an almost, if not altogether, I'M
precedented case. Under the "cour-
tesy of the Senate the nomination Of
a Senator for office is confirmed with
out reference and on the same day.
Instances are frequent where nomina-
tons for cabinet positions are laid
over for one, two and three days or
longer. In the case Of Mr.. Conway
the nomination went through all the
regular forms of reference to the COM
mittee on postofices, reported back
with favorable recommendation, lmme-
date consideration without objection
and confirmation viva voce, Mr.. Con-
way should certainly feel under obi
cations to Senator Faulkner and to the
Senate. But Representative Dayton,
who wrote to the Postmaster-General
urging that this place be held over for
a Republican, will experience different
emotions.
