NEWS FROM WASHINGTON.

The extraordinary methods pur-
sued by the Secretary of the
Treasury in his recent efforts to
relieve the money stringency in
Wall Street have won for him the
gratitude and support of that ele-
ment, but at the same time start
led the more conservative business
men of the country. By his
simple ipsedixit, Secretary Shaw
has entirely departed from the
spirit of the law under which
government funds are placed in
national banks and has completely
changed their character. Hereto
fore they have been deposits sim
ply. Under the recent ruling of
the Secretary, whereby the banks
are relieved from maintaining the
Is per cent reserve required in the
case of private deposits, and here
tofore required in the case of gov
eminent accounts, Mr.. Shaw has
practically changed these deposits
into loans secured by collateral,
consisting Of U. S. bonds. Here
tofore it has been the custom to
require deposit as further secur-
ity of bonds to the amount of 100
per cent of the funds intrusted to
the banks. Hereafter, Mr.. Shaw
will accept securities consisting of
state bonds, railway obligations,

TENNEssEE,s INDUSTRY.

1t is always dangerous groun'
to advocate the appropriation o
public money for industrial en-
terprises. We were aware of thi

advocated in last weeks paper The
appropriation of q fund for an ex.
hibit at the Worlds Fair or Louis
lana Purchase Exposition to be
held in St. Louis in 1904. 1t has
always been so, and people openly
espousing such measures have
been excoriated and sometimes
punished with ostracism. 1t is

Mexico out of reach of rapid COM

capital back in its primitive state

controls if we were compelled to
keep it in that shape. There were
people who laid the ground work

THE CANDIDATES SPEAK.

The legislative candidates spoh
at the court house last Monday
Senator Bowden made the frs
address. We were not present
but suppose it was a good one
Mr.. Bowden is sound and leve
upon all public questions and tn
people have the utmost confidence
in his ability as an Assemblyman
Mr.. Oglesby said that he hac
made the race against one of thu
best men in the county; that hi
had worked very hard while il
seemed to him his opponent was
making little effort, and that he
came out with only a small major,
ity. He was confident of more
votes, but nevertheless, gratifed
over the result. He stated that he
had Republican opponent yet to
defeat, but that he needed the as.
sistance of all the Democratic vot.
ers in the county and urged them
to be at the polls in November.
DR.. McRee was the last speaker.
He defended the county Democ-
racy and the party nominees. The
Doctor emphasized the fact that,
while he had positive convictions
upon all public questions which
would probably come before the
Assembly, be was servant of
the people whom he represented
and would vote in accordance with
their wishes, advocating and sup
porting the measures and policies
demanded by his constituency
whether or not they conceded with
his views. The Doctor invited a
a discussion of measures to come
before the next General Assembly.
He was asked his views upon vari-
Gus questions, and responded
cheerfully and gracefully, finding
himself in almost perfect unison
with the sentiment of the Demo-
Gratis present. As for himself, he
favored any advance in the public
school system. Generally he OPP.
posed an increase of taxes, but
would not complain if the school
tax was raised from fifteen to
twenty-five cents ON the hundred
# that were necessary to perfect a
system of education in our state.
In view of the probable legislation
upon the question of prohibition
IF saloons, he favored any step
giving the people voice to say
whether or not they shall be pro
libited, and would support the
ocal- option measure which is like
y to come before the General AS
'embly empowering municipalities
# 5000 inhabitants and under the
of holding an election to
lecide upon this question. The
most paramount of all, he said,
vas the consideration of measures
ooking toward better system of
public roads. 1t is true we have a
contract system, but it is only a
in the right direction.
He was enthusiastic upon this sub
ect, his ideas being in harmony
With our suggestion last week that
