Henry Newman, of the firm, was ex-
PEELED from the Cotton Exchange,
bat very little comment has been
made on the subject by the New Or
leans newspapers. For this reason
the matter has not been OF greatpub-
lefty, until very lately Harlequin, y
a city publication, made a complete
expose of the transaction, and called
upon the Attorney General and the
District Attorney to see that the
proper criminal prosecutions follow.
These rich thieves deserve more Wig
orous prosecution and punishment
than do the vagabonds who steal to
relieve their pressing necessities. The
country press is doubtless a unit in
the demand that the guilty parties
should be punished for their criminal
action in this case. Also we would
urge that our Representatives in the
nextlegislature makesome provisions
whereby the farmers of the country
can be protected, and be able to hold
factors toa more rigid accounting for
sales OF produce. 1t seems to us to
be a simple matter of business, and
some Scion ought to be able to evolve
a statute that would give ready and
certain means OF investigation when
ever thought to be necessary.

STRAIGHT DEMOCRACY.

Mr.. Ownby says we have ma
ligned him very much in suggest
ing the possibility of his indoors
ing, with the other members of
the committee on resolutions in
the county Democratic convention,
the National Democratic platform,
or the Palmer and Buckner ticket
in 1896. He says he never even
dreamed, nor did any of the com
mittee, of these old decrepit num-
mers and the name they so gener-
ously undertook to bestow upon
themselves. In fact, he says, they
had absolutely forgotten the whole
incident, SO palpably and noto-
rious farce as it was. The COM
mittee, all good Democrats,
thought only of the great national
body of Democrats in the United
States-the party of Jefferson; the
party of tariff reform; the party
of home rule; the party which &C
knowledges the Constitution and
the Declaration of Independence
their articles of faith and creed,
upon which rests the foundation
of American institutions, and
hence without special reference to
any particular presidential cam
paign, they reafirmed their fealty
and adherence to the principles of
the Democratic party set forth in
the platforms of that great nation
al organization.
We apologize to the committee
and the gentlemen of the conven-
ton for even admitting that they
would make such a mistake. The
Democracy of Obion has never
been assailed for its disloyalty,
and the idea that committee duly
authorized and delegated to draft
a set of principles would resort to
the practice of setting trap for
the purpose of committing the
party to the name of these
pretenders and apologists is alb
surd. Col. Ownby, we hope to
have reinstated ourselves on the
same plane as of yore.

The trustees and directors Of
the public library meet to-day.
There has been considerable dis
Gu ssion and even negotiations are
in progress looking to the alb
sorption of this institution by the
Public High School. 1t is under
stood that on account of lack OF
interest, small debt has accumu-
lated against the library for rent,
and some hope by moving to close
up the account. While there
should be supply of good books
for the benefit of the teachers and
pupils of the public school, this
splendid institution should never
be moved away from the precincts
of the heart of town, nor even con
solidated with any other. What
a commentary upon the lntelll
gence of the city that we can or
ganize and equip handsome club
room for recreation and social en-
joyment, paying into its treasury
monthly more than an hundred
dollars, and yet we are about to
stand by and see our public libra
~, such as have become not only
luxury but a necessity to every
progressive town and city in the
country, taken away. We are in
favor of higher grades in public
schools and the best public schools
in the land, and we do not mean
to detract one iota from the inter-
est in our school, but can this city !
afford to abolish it's public library?
We say, most emphatically, no!
Our Commercial Club is gone;
the Y. M. G. A. has been starved.
Now, can we afford to see the Ii
brary lost? Start the ball to roll
ing. The Commercial begins with
a subscription Of five dollars.
Who will be the next to hold the
library in its place, and rather
than let it go by default, give it a
new impetus, augmenting with
new books and furniture? Send
N your subscriptions. The Com
nercial heads the list with five
dollars. Who's next?

"CAN'T BE ENFORCED. "

Rev. I. j. Tyler, former pastor
of the Cumberland Presbyterian
Church in this city, sends very in
teresting communication from
Columbia to the Nashville Ameri-
can, in his own characteristic style,
asserting positively that church
rules can be enforced, and the way
to enforce them is to get right and
retire those who fail to do right.
That's him exactly.
| wish to say few words in re-
ference to the above subject. l do
not aim this as a criticism on the
conclusion reached by the Method
list ministers Monday morning
in Nashville, They said that church
rules cant be enforced" Why
not? say they can.
Let me inform the brethren how
we do down here in Columbia at the
Tabernacle Cumberland Presbyter-
ian Church When we open the
door of the church for members l
announce from the pulpit that if
any person or persons have not de-
cided to quit going to theaters,
dancing, playing cards, drinking
any kind of Intoxicating liquors, at
tending horse racing, travelling on
Sunday excursions, then please do
not ask for membership in our
church. Again, should any of our
members be guilty OF any the above
we send a committee to them i'm
mediately, and should they persist
in doing these things we expe1
them at once.
So the rules can be enforced. We
enforce them. Simply put behind
the rules a preacher with a back
bone and who is willing to go down
to meat and bread salary (if neces-
sary bread and water), and they
will be enforced.
The curse of the age is a card
playing, theater-going, dancing,
whlsky-breaking, Sunday-breaking
church membership. In many cities
preachers are compelled TO abandon
night services for want of congre-
cation. When i'll every spiritual
church the night congregations are
always better, or should be, and
will be if we will clean out our
We will have a much
smaller membership, and get less
but the unsaved will have
some respect for us. Try it, breth-

DIR. f. M. MCREE asks us to an
nounce to his friends, and especial
lY those who have SO warmly and
urgently appealed to him in the
matter, that he owes them much
for their kindness, but has reached
the conclusion that he cannot make
the race and will not be a candi-
date for Floater in the next Gen
eral Assembly. We have an idea
of the pressure which has been
brought to bear upon the Doctor,
and what it cost him to make this
decision, and while we regret to
see him decline, we know that he
is ayerse to a holly contested
struggle for the Office, and prefers
rather the quiet life of the honor
able citizen that he is.
