ME nEMoCRATIC CONTRoL.

For many years the Republicans
have enjoyed the emoluments of the
offices under the Board Of Directors
of the Street and Sewer Department.
Some Republicans may resent the ac-
tion Of the present Democratic ma
jority of the board in removing these
same Republicans and filling their
places with Democrats, on the ground
that politics should not enter into the
administration Of that department of
our city government. That might be
true II the Republican directors had
lived up to that principle, but the his
tory Of the department demonstrates
that they have not done so. A very
large majority of the men at present in
the departments employ are Republi~
cans. It is but natural, since the
Democrats have secured control, that
they should follow the precedent estab-
lished by their Republican predeces-
sors and fill the more important posi-
tions with Democrats.
This does not imply that the Repub-
lican incumbents are incompetent. But
It does mean that there are Democrats
who are just as competent and equally
deserving. 1t is perfectly safe to as
sumo that there will be no impairment
of the departments efficiency by any
thing that has been done or will be
done. II the department is to be put
under civil service rules the innova-
ton should take place with new men
in the several offices, for the old ones
have already had long tenures.

LAS TO HEAR ARGUMENT.
The celebrated suit of Buchanan ct
al. and Bay State Gas Company, which
was argued in the United States Court
before the late Judge Wales, will proba-
bly, be revived. The former suit was
brought by Buchanan, a stockholder
OF the company, to recover certain in
vestments which the plaintiff held in
the company. Buchanan also filed
claims that the Bay State Gas Com
pany was insolvent and incompetent
to do business. The case was argued
by the best lawyers in the country, and
resulted in a victory for Addicks.

opened On the ground that the first case
was discontinued, and that the receiv-
ers be made to account for the standing
Of the company.

SAYS the Selmer Symposium: ut is

private soldiers that make battles
bloody and victories glorious" 1t is
just so in politics. 1t is the little bits
Of paper in the hands of the common
yeomanry that does the work for parties
and politicians. A party may 90 into
power by revolutionary majority and
20 right out with a crushing condem-
nation. A politician may regard him
self as unapproachably great, and in
vulnerably strong, yet about the time
his swollen estimate of his own pre-.
eminence has fully matured, the silent
shower of the snowy ballot, in ninety
nine cases out Of a hundred will snow
him underl forever. When the poll
tician grows so arrogant and self con-
ceited as to imagine that be is a bigger
man than the President and that he
owns the people instead of the people
owning him, the ground will soon fall
beneath him and he will find himself
in a hole with all sides mopped with
soft soap. The ballots Of the common
"clods" will fix him, and he will
realize when the fearful disenchant.
ment comes that, though he could
fool part of the people all the time
and all the people part Of the time, he
could not fool all the people all the

Outlook Promising for a Prosperous Financial
Season.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 8.-George NJ.
Coffin, acting comptroller of the cur.
rency, Is confident Of a most prosperous
financial season for the United States
in the near future. In an interview
with a Star reporter today he said
"There is every evidence that the
United States is accumulating a vast
amount of capital Of it's own and this
goes to show that sooner or later, If it
Is not already SO, this country willibe
financially independent of Great Brit.
ian or any other nation.
1.-THE current rate for demand loans
in New York today is 1t per cent,
against a slightly higher rate in Lon
don and it is not at all improbable that
under these circumstances New York
bankers are %loaning money in London.
I'm spite Of the enormous loss and
depreciation of values sustained by the
United States during the past four
years the latest bank statistics show
that there has been a very large accum.
ulation o fcapital in this country, much
of which is lying idle in bank, awaiting
favorable opportunity for investment.
1.-THE national banks of this country
now hold about $3.50, OOO, 900 over and
above the sum required by law as a
legal reserve. This same condition of
affairs undoubtedly exists in the other
banking institutions throughout the
States in the union. There has been a
wonderful accumulation Ia the savings
bank.
zone result Of this enormous accumu.
lation of capital will be lower rates Of
interest for the future. l am sure that
this will come and my opinion is shared
by many bankers throughout the coun.
try. do not believe that we will see
again as high rate Of interest as have
prevailed 10 recent years."

Hon. G. n. Tllman for Governor.
We noticed a few days ago in the
Knoxville Journal the name of G.. N.
Tillman mentioned as a probable can
didate for the Gu%bernatorial nomina-
ton in 1898. We arise to second the
nomination and wish to say that in
our opinion there is not a more desery-
ing and worthy man in the bounds OF
this commonwealth than Mr.. Tillman.
He has been a life long Republican, a
faithful and earnest worker for the
best interests of the Republican party,
and as yet has never been rewarded for
his services by the party. The race is
some distance in the future and the
woods are full OF timber, but we wish
TO say now that in the person of G.. N.
Tillman we haye n giant mentally,
physically and politically, and judging
from what he has done in the past, we
believe he is able to meet and conquer
the enemy upon the same field that
many people Of the State believe he
once did. As a lawyer, statesman and
orator he has no superiors and few
equals, and as such his name is known
all over the State. Here is cheers fol
Tillman from the East, and may the
echoes be gathered up and reproduced
all over the State until the time to
make nomination in convention when
we hope to see him unanimously Sc
lected as the standard bearer of the Re
publican party of Tennessee.

object to his loose methods Of pardon
ing criminals as "human hyenas. who

case in question, and he repeIs their

Court, by comparing them with asses

All this indicates Gov. Taylor's weak
ness and certainly does not meet the
question which bis i'll advised action
has brought before the public. 1t lie
quite evident that the Governor did
not make aproper investigation be
fore he dashed off his order committing
the death sentence Of Parora. He has
not declared that he has a right to
interrupt the regular proceedings Of the
courts, intercept the officers on their
way from the lower to the higher court,
and order the final disposition OF a
prisoner before the Supreme Court has
been given the opportunity Of discharg'
ing its duty In the matter. Yet he has
made such interference, and for this
he rises to defy criticism.
According to report which comes
from Memphis the Governor made no

the Governor acted thoughtlessly and
impulsively and without taking the
simplest steps to properly inform him.

the courts he has raised a question
which brings the gubernatorial Office
