ANTE ELECTION PROMISES.

ANTE ELECTION PROMISES.
The doubling Thomascs are be-
ginning to chant their suspicious and
distrust concerning the work of the
incoming legislature. They claim to
have discovered certain evidences,
visible only to the mind burdened
with suspicion, which indicates that
indicates that some of the more i'm
portant ante election promises of
successful Legislative candidates will
not be seriously considered when
the time arrives for defLi:e action.
1t is limited that the reform measures
passed by the last legislature are in
jeopardy; that they will be materially
changed by the hostility of certain
office olders, who will attempt to
have the old order of things restored,
or partially revived, that their person.
al interests may be better conserved
It is also charged that the hope of
securing reduction in extravagant
fees of coal oil inspectors will prove
an ignis fatuus before the 1899 legis-
lature has advanced far int official
life. These unfavorable predictions
are not only without justification,
but they are unnecessary and unwar-
rantcd reflections upon an admins
tration pledged in good faith to do
the very best for the taxpayers of
Tennessee. There is absolutely no
provocaton for these gratuitous ex-
pressions Of doubt and distrust from
men who participated in the late cleo
ton, and who should know better
than to speak indiscreetly. The whole
State ticket was elected upon the
most specific pledges of reform. 1t
is doubtful If the Democracy of Ten
nessee ever solicited the patronage of
the people upon more definite or eH-
plicit platform. The people knew
exactly what they were asked to vote
for, and upon the merits of the Chat
tanooga platform the Democracy
of Tennessee won one of the most
signal victories IN its history. There
is every reason to believe that the re-
forms contemplated in the Democratic
State platform will be realized. Eff
forts may be made to crush the vi,
tality out of the Jarvis and the Estes
laws, and to maintain the fees o
coal oil inspectors as they exist, bu
there is no evidence to indicate tina
such efforts will be productive o
substantial results. On the contrary
there are numerous indication
which promise the fultillmeht Of ante
election promises, chief among then
being the personnel of the legislator
and the positive character OF the gov
ernor-elect. There may be effort
exerted to prevent the use of th
pruning knife in reducing State ez
penses, and attempts may be mad
to retarl the development of the in
dustrial interests of Tennessee, bu
our faith is in the next legislature dc
ing the right thing-JacksOn Whil

Deafness Cannon be Cured

There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con-
dition of the mucous lining OF the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube gets in
famed you have a rumpling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition. hearing will be destroyed
forever; nihe cases out of ten are caus-
ed by catarrh, which is nothing but an
inf1amed condition Of the mucous sur

Gen. Weyler, late protector" Of wo-
men and children in Cuba, says that
he did not place mines in the Havana
harbor and the letter brought out to
that effect by a newspaper man is a
forgery. At the time the general was
probably too busy to place the mines
in the harbor, as recent statistics show
that 200, 900 Cubans have either starved
to death or been murdered since the
instruction. The general, of course,
was unable to do too many Inlngs at
once. Besides, he was not the nan to
neglect his butchering business for
electrical experiments.

ed that the figure that represents IN

ranting populist as much as any Amer
lean type. He is gawky. gaunt and
gullible. Such a soul could be taken
only from a sepulcher, such an ill-it-
ting costume only from q second-rate
masquerade. He fills the bill poorly

spect to the fair Columbia. We be-

"a cu%rmudgeon'' writes to the World
in praise of the old-fashioned woman
who MIXED cows and baked bread, and
asks, "Is the college-bred woman of to-
day any better? Is she an improve
ment?" The writer ought to state def
initely where a woman's information
should stop. Naturally a woman wants
to be as wise as possible, and the dan
ger of that s%uperfluous information
which units her for household duties
must be very embarrassing. We dare
say, by the way, that this gentleman
would be willing to do the ditching and
bookkeeping which are now attend
ed to by his hired man.

Four bills providing for postal saw
ings banks are now before congress.
The chief difference in these bills is the
provision for investing the postal saw
ings funds. The disagreement between
the advocates of these different meas
ures led to the passage of a resolution
referring the whole matter to Secre-
tary Gage. 1t is to be hoped that this
delay will not prevent the measure
from reaching the senate in time to Sc
cure it's passage by that body.

= The contrast between the deliberate

sure operations in mining is we'll IL
Illustrated by the official definition of an
abandoned claim. An abandoned farm
is usually so designated after long dis
use. Decay is written all over it. In
the mining rules for the Canadian Yu-
kon, a claim unworked for the space Of
seventy-two hours, without reasonable
cause, and at a time when operations
ought to be in progress, is to be DEEM
ed abandoned, and open to occupation
and entry by any person. Time is
lever a waiter, but in the mining re-
gions the refusal to wait for any man
is particularly emphatic.

There has been a notable increase
in railroad freight rates between the
west and east lately. This may not
at once be good for commerce, but it
shows that there is a growing stiffness
in trade generally. Money that has
been in hiding for several years is be-
ginning to come out to get the benefit
of temporary rising prices, and it is
not unlikely that an era of wal time
railroad rates may rule for a while.
1t has almost stopped the grain move

The deputy collector of customs at

In all the four years Of his occupancy
of the Office. His salary for that time
aggregated $3.50. That was what it
cost to collect $3.50 in revenue. The
country is full of these out-of-the-way
and Anticipated customs posts which
cost far more to maintain than the
revenue they yield. One secretary of
the treasury after another has appeal
ed to congress to consolidate the Gus

pose. As patronage bosses congress-

Should Be Expelled !.

A~ar,ca,a Greatest Medicine Is the
Best Spring Medicine.
In winter months the perspiration, so
nrofuse in summer, almost ceases. This
throws back into the system the impure
ties that should have peel expelled
through the pores Of the skin. This and
other causes makes the blood impure IN
spring. Boils, pimples, humors ana
eruptions then appear or some more
serious disease may take its start. HOODS
sarsaparilla is the remedy for impure
blood in all its forms, as proved by Its
marvellous cures OF blood diseases. 1t is
therefore the medicine for you to take
in the spring. 1t expells all humors, ana
puts the whole system in good condition

ment." The islands stretch about / 900
miles nearly north and south, dividing
the China sea atrom the Pacific ocean, the
north end of Luzon, the northern limit,
being about three hundred miles south
of Formosa and five hundred miles
southeast Of Hong Kong,
The Philippines were discovered in
1921 by Magellan and in 1870 the
Spanish made their first permanent
settlement, at Manila, and the islands
have since been under Spain's dominion;
though in 1862 the English, under
Admiral Cornish and Sir William
Draper, stormed and captured Manila,
which only saved itself from sack by
agreeing to pay a ransom Of $4,000, 900.
The chi products of the Philippines
are sugar, rice, niigo, tobacco, sago,
hemp and coffee.
Manila is in latitude l40 SO north and
1909 52> east longitude. 1t is on the
east shore of circular bay l2O nautical
miles in circumference. Telegraphic
communication between Manila and
Hong Kong was established in 1880.
Manila hemp is a native of the Philli-
pine islands, and is the most valuable of
all products for cordage. Vast quaint
ties of it are shipped yearly.
