THE Tennessee Phosphate Co.,
with headquarters at Mt. Pleasant,
are going to add million dollars
more capital to their already
splendid property IN this county.
Messrs. Swift & Co., of Chicago,
have this week invested fiftytwo
thousand dollars in phosphate land
in the Spring Hill neighborhood,
and will doubtless double that
amount before they get enough to
satisfy them. All of which goes to
show that though you may hear Of
phosphate finds here, there and
everywhere, when it comes to
actual investments, the capitalists
come to Maury County to spend
their money. AS we have said be-
fore, this business is just in it's in
fancy in this county, and its future
is full of promise for any man of
energy and business training, with
little capital to back him. At the
same time we advise now, as we
have before, that men in business
should not disturb their business
capital, nor speculate in phosphate
beyond their means. The phosphate
industry is as legitimate business
as any, and should be pursued as a
business and not for speculation
The men who will buy intelligently
and cautiously, and dig and sell
will make money but men who pay
big prices on surface indications, eX.
pecting somebody else to give them
profit on these same indications,
may get left.

Rumor That Pension Commissioners
Evans VIII Be Removed.
WASHINGTON, July 25.-The re-
moval or transfer of Commissioner
of Pensions HI. Clay Evans is now
imminent. Immediately following
the removal of Secretary of War AL
ger, it was persistently rumored in
official circles here that the Presi-
dent intended to also make a change
in the administration of the Pension
Bureau. These statements came
from an apparently reliable source,
but failed to attract attention, as it
was generally understood that Presi.
dent Mckinley not only approved of
Commissioner Evans administra-
tion of the office, but that the Com
minissiOner was carrying out his
suggestions to great extent.
This mornings Washington Post,
which has been and is the Admins
tratiou mouthpiece, prints story,
stating in part as follows:
1.-The persistent outcry on the part
of the veterans of the civil war
against Pension Commissioner
Evans may not, at all, be in vain.
There is strong pressure at the
White House to bring about change
before the next encampment of the
Grand Army of the Republic, which
will assemble in Philadelphia in
September. The President is earn
estly urged to transfer Mr.. Evans to
some other field of duty and to make

DEMOCRACY VS.. REPUsLICANIsM.

1t was the dream and hope Of the
founders of this Republic to estab-
lish a stable government, not a
snowy one. Simplicity of manners
and economy in public expenditures
was a virtue with them, and 1t has
been, and is, the curse of this coun-
try that we have departed from the
principles and practices of our
fathers.
There is still the virtue of this
sort, however, In the Democratic
party. Democracy stands for sim
plicity and economy while, the
Republican party stands for display
and prodigality. 1t delights the
Republican party to collect large
amounts of money and to spend 1t
lavishly, and the Mckinley ad-
ministration Is making record
which will be the envy of all future
Republican administrations.
1t is startling with what ease and
facility some project can be
trumpet up on which to lavish the
money of the toiling masses. In the
appointment of Commissions, Nc
Kinley has found an easy way of
getting rid of the peoples money.
The cost of Commissions already
appointed by this administration
amounts to $2,19O,O0O.
The Philadelphia Record takes up
the subject rather seriously and
predicts dire results If the President
is allowed to appoint Commissioners
ad libitum.
The Record sets forth the cost
and Commissions as follows:
civilian j. Calhoun, Special Com
missioner to Cuba, 100000 Monetary
Commission, $25,OOO; Special Commits
sioner Paris Exposition, $4,000;
Reciprocity Commissioners (Kasson),
$4,000; Commissioner to Japan in con-
nection with seals (Hamin), $4,000;
Commissioner to Russia in connection
with seals (Foster), 100000; Paris Peace
Commission, $l50,0C0; Cuban and Porto
NlCdu NdChdblOl poOSooV
War Investigation Commission 100000
Philippine Commission, $4,000; High
Joint Commission, 100000; Commission
to Disarmament Conference, $4,000
Samoan Commission, $4,000; Nicara'
guam Canal Commission, $250,000; 18th
milan Canal Commission, $l,0OO,OC0
Hawaiian Commission $4,000; Paris
Exposition Commission, $4,000; Tariff
Commissioner to Cuba Or. 2. Porter
$4,000 Industrial Commission (pei
annum) 100000; Insular Commission
$4,000"
This indeed seems enormous, yet
this is but in keeping with the gen
eral extravaganza. But the people
pay the bills. Will they never tire
of it? A tariff for protection breeds
extravaganza. 1t brings into the
public treasury more money thar
can be legitimately expended in al
economical government, and as {
constantly increasing surplus woulC
be menace to the principle of pro
lection, the surplus must be spent
And so it goes.
We still have hope, however, o
this Republic. But this wild ex
travagance must stop. No NOR
money should be collected than i
necessary to pay the necessary Elk
penses of the government econo
mically administered, and equa
to all and special privileges to non
must be the basic principle of on
federal legislation.
