want. 1t is true it is written for chill

an ordinary child has with which to
measure things, but it is also book
that his elders may read with profit.
Most of US know little enough of the
sun, moon and planets, or of this our
own little earth's WRITINGS through
space and this book gives good gen.
eral idea of it all in plain everyday
English with no incomprehensible
tific mind.
The Sun and His Family is to be COM
mende1 as text book for schools. The
facts cover quite wide field of the
knowledge OF the planets and their
doings. The language of the book is
clear, concise, simple and easily re-
membered. The illustrations are ex-
positions and orbits of the planets are
easily understood, and the photographs
and drawings of the moons surface
and of the surface of Mars are wonder
fully fine.

TREASURER CRAIG's report shows,
and the Nashville American, the
optimistic organ ofprosperous times,
admits, "that the assessable proper
ty in Tennessee has been decreased
$45, OOO, 900 in value in the last half a
dozen years." All these half dozen
years, mind you, the American
and all such corporation owned
journals, have been telling their
readers about the return of pros
perity," and the "rapid develop
ment of Tennessee and what great
things the Tennessee Centennial
had done to advertise the "marvel-
lous resources" of the state and in
vite capital to come here. And yet
while all these wonderful things
have been transporting; while pros
perity was Initiating itself to unusual
proportions day by day; while the
world was coming to the great
and only Centennial show, and
standing aghast at our wonderfulre-
sources, and capital from the money
centres was speeding on electric
wires to get in on the ground floor
neirdbjJe dictU, while ali these great
things were going on, we find the
American in an unguarded moment
admitting that 1.-THE assessable prop
erty in the state has been decreased
$45 100000 in value in half a dozen
years" The simple truth is, that
while here and there may be found
sporadic case of prosperity, and
while now and then there may be a
lull or seeming stoppage in the
downward tendency, at the same
time, generally speaking, the finan-
cial condition of the country and its
people is on the retragrade all the
time, and has been all these "half
a dozen years." and will inevitably
continue to be just as long as the
single gold standard lasts, or until
the few have cornered all the money
and prosperity of the country, and
the many are made their slaves.

The message cites that one cause for
the growth of the state debt is the

The Governor endorses the jarvis

ter of changing any of their features
to the consideration of the Assembly.
He recommends that the floating
debt of $850,OO0, caused by the re-
duction of the tax rate from 30 to 20
cents in 1895, be funded and made a
part of the bonded debt of the state,

mails to the penitentiary.

met with in the assessment of the
railroads at their true value, and the
collection of taxes from them.
A great deal of space in the mes
