TIIULiSD AY. NOVEMBER 1 1S83 THE CHARTER-REPEAL ID-OCY. The WincLester News is advocating the repeal of the charter of that town in order to bring it within the piovisions of-the four mile prohibitory statute. It is none of onr business what they do in Winchester, bat if they care to make haste slowly they will inyestigate the workings of the statute elsewhere before they do a thing which may proye very disastrous, We haye seen some of the effects of this mad scheme to stop the sale of liquor, and haye no hesitancy in Buying that it is successful only in doing harm. We brief the results of our observation alid present them as follows: I.

Closing the saloons docs not stup the sale or decrease the consumption of liquor by tl people of the town. IT. The country people who drink take -their trade to oMier points where they can get their liquor when Uiid in such manner as they may desire it actual aud pseudo, will sell on prescription to anybody and everybody. There is no legal restrictions as to the giving of prescriptions; the doctors are good natnred, and will write them for of those who applj. do 110 wrong in the siht of the law, and cannot be punished although we haye heard of indict tuents of this kind Wing found on judicial instruction.

This was mere vindliug of course. IV. The town, without direct munis cipal Government, will go to ruin macadam will disappear, sidewalks will give away; 'filth will accumulate from year to year until finally an epidemic of disease and death teaches people that Heaven proposed to leaye some of the work of sanitation in communities to man's own intelligence and labor. The birds of the air will not live in foul nests for the same reason that men cannot live long in foul towns. Birds have more brains' than the majority of mankind, however.

V. The town, county and state all sutler in their revenues, while the trade goes on and men prosper more than ever from the traffic. VI. Where with open saloons men would go and take a moderate drink, under the drugstore dispensation they must buy not less than a half pint and spreeing and open drunks cness are the results. VII.

Every community will fiud it best to trust the sale of liquor to re sponsible aud honorable men, who eanbe trusted io sell under the wise regulations that the experience of many years has placed on our statute books. VII, Don't be a damphool, anyway. GIVE. US LIGHT! Who of us wants federal aid to nuhlic education? What State o'f tho 3outu is it that cannot edu cate her own children? We would like to learn that State tor which shame has no blush. If states collectively-can educate the children, why can't the states separ ately educate theni! The southern states are able and will educate them Democrat.

To such idiotic gabble as this there is no answer, except a flat denial. The southern states are not able to educate the children of its citizens and will not tio it, The systems that exist are hollow mockeries. We do not hesitate Bay that we believe the present school svstem of Tennessee has done more to destroy real educa tton than anything else. A school does not necessarily educate; the child may learn and still know nothing. To send him into life with such miserable schooling as he receives under our system is to teach him his-own igaorance and then leave him to sink or swim on iis own hook.

We bes lieve in making the State and the republic both useful, and what higher ends can they serve than to drill into scholarship the swarms of ignorance and poverty Instead of building marble cus torn houses for JToodlesville and Swamptown let tho treasure of the nation be with a royal hand to equalize the coining genera ftlniis hv niakii)? the stores of id knowledge the free, eommou' prop erty of rich and poor, black and white. For ourselves, haviug little faith iu states, we hope to see nrfivail a macniScent system of public schools, under national control, sustained by national funds, which shall bear on its rolls the namoofevery minor in the United States. I the parent won't eds ncate Lis child, make him; if he can't, lot the nation do it. TRICKY PENSION AGENTS. We are very glad to see that the authorities of the Pension Office have at last turned their attention to the swarm of swiudlers and importers who have gathered at Washington under the a me of pension attorucj s.

There never was, and never will be a claim requiring the services of a Washington agent. This, however, iha claimants do not know and have'ef gom; largely on the snppoKitiou'-rhat there was some unusual advantage in having attorney on lie ground. Many. could put tlKiir cases through hiW tha i-ttss; only tho assistance of a local attorney to get a claim through with all the expedition possible. Thd Washington agents wore guilty of swindling the claimants in the most outrageous ways, chief among which was the send ing of letters broadcast claiming to have made an examination of the particular case, often in advance of the filing of tho claim, and conveying positive assurance that the party addressed was entitled to a pension and offering for a small fee to file his claim, and secure its allowance.

By this means hundreds and thousands of ex-soldiers who had not the shadow of a chance were induced to fee these rascals and have them file hopeless and groundless claims for pensions or for increase of pension. But this is not the worst part of the story. Lasc winter an ex-soldier, whose disability had reduced him to an extreme of poverty and want, wrote Maj. Pettis bone a letter stating therein that he had corresponded with the alleged firm of Bancroft "Pension claims that they hatir agreed to get up his case for a small fee 2 or $1). This amount he had managed to secure by great exertion and sent it to them.

They then sent him blanks for declaration, and these he was enabled to work up by the assistance of friends. The evidence gotten together he forwarded it to Bancroft and believing his case a meritorious one hoped to see it soon put through and the money obtained to meet the pressiDg wants of himself and family. He waited hearing nothing, when he wrote ivo his attorneys. In reply ho re-. cefved a letter which informed him that his natters were still in thoir office and would be filed whenev er the cash to complete their law.

ful fee was received. Sick with disappointment he wrote them again aud again, picturing his noverti and nrotestimr that he MT would nav them honestly when hie money was obtained, but they continued their cruel refusal, and nossiblv the unfortunate man papers are there to this day. Maj, Pettibone forwarded the letter to the Commissioner of Pen sions with an indignant demand for justice to his constituent, only to be answered that while the case was a hard one the. Pension Offiefi nnnld do nothiDir. as the claimant had employed these at torneys of his own free will, and as they had seen fit not to file the claim there was nothing before the Commissioner to authorize him to take any summary steps to bring the "attorneys1' to ac count for their dereliction.

We hone the entire cancr of Washington pension agents will be weeded out in short order, for we do not believe there is an honest one in the entire lot. If we should ever get the no fence law for which some of our exchanges are clamoring seyeral fhnnsnnd sturdv natriots who want office would have to take to the trees. Nearly every paper in the state is publishing letters from northern men who want to come to Tennessee. Many others report settlers already located, while still others note the arrival of prospectors- Who Killed It? Bristol Xews. A report Is in circulation to the effect that the convicts employed on the So.

Atlantic and Ohio railroad haye been moved for political reasons. The report is without foundation. They were removed by the company solely on financial grounds, the force being too small to -work to advantage. This information comes from J. C.

Oliphant, the agent of the company. Bristol Courier. Capt. T. E.

Bibb left on Tuesday night with his force of convicts for Lynchburg, where they are to be turned over to another company, 'Xhis was oraerea uy a telegram lrom President uynci-man, of Pa. An effort had been made by certain readjusters to displace Capt. Bibb, because of his adherence to democratic prin ciples. The convicts would, doubt less, have been moved beiore a great while for other reasons, but this political move certainly pre cipitated the "Liberal" party, is it? The narrow guage is dead for the present. What move will be taken toward its resurrection, we can not tell.

Gov. Porter For Vice President. Gallatin Examiner. We do not desire to be understood as urging the selection of a south" era candidate regardless of consequences. If all that has been said against doing so, ana upon ine grounds set forth be true, the argus ment is closed, but we wish the fact to be very certain: If eighteen years have not closed the chasm of r.

'l 1 the ciyil "war, wnen wiu is oer In the event that the next JNa- -4 tional democratic c-onyention should be of the opinion that a southern man should be placed upon the ticket, there is no name more fitting than James Porter, of Tennessee. It needs no eulogy in the south wherft it is re cognized as a synouym of all that constitutes high-toned manhood and a broad intelligent statesman ship that has won success in every position to which he has been called since early manhood. there are manv others in the couth who pos sess eminent qualifications for the vice presidency, but better Governor Porter. Distribution of Carp. Washington.

Oct. 25. The Fish Commission is getting ready for its LflL and winter work. The water will be drawn oil from the carp ponds in a few days, and they will be gathered and put up for ship" ment. As soon sis the fish are ready a car load will be shipped to the Louisvi'IiS Exposition for exhibition and distribution throughout the south.

Great interest is shown in the south in the carp industry, and the commission is 'overrun with applications from southern states. As soon as the Louisville car get3 back it will be for the I HERALD AND POOR MEN'S POLITICS. A Movement in England to Give Government Aid to the Poor. The purpose of the Cabinet Council must be sought elsewhere. The government has just become con scious of its egregious folly in postponing Sir William Vernon Ilarn court's new Municipal bill.

A pamphlet called "The Bitter Cry of Outcast has roused the wildest indignation. Lord Salis-buiy's article in the National Review called ''Laborers' and Artisans' Dwellings'' has made the exasperation still more bitter, the Standard declaring that such a paper from such a man is worth more than a hundred party speeches. London, long indifferent, has sud--ienly learned that there is more poverty in its streets than in the worst part of Ireland. In squalid dens the poor herd, multiply and die. Parliament cannot help them.

The measures already passed are impotent. Philanthropy is misdirected- Societies are (formed to help discharged convicts, while honest workmen are left to starve and respectable girls are turned from the doors of Magdalen asylums because they lack tho necessary qualification. Lord Salisbury proposes State intervention. He affirms that "pub-he loans are justified by the ingenious considerations of public policy, even if all thoughts of humanity are cast aside." He thinks the working population should be transferred to places outside the town, where good houses should be built for them. Dozens of othr reme dies have been proposed by other writers.

The excitement is great and very blunt language i3 used. The Pall Mall Gazette says: '-The man who lives by letting a pestilential dwelling house is morally on a par with the man who lives by keeping a house of evil fame." A correspondent writes: "What is the use of dealing with the fringe of the subject? Why not go boldly to the root? That root is the iusensate and reckless multiplication of the human species; as long as that goes on unchecked all that lawgivers, moralists and philanthropist." can do is whitewashing a a efnnlrhrf Thus at last the politics of the poor haye come to the front. The liberals are frightened that the con-seryatiye leader has headed the proposed reforms. "Since the memorable days," says the Pa-11 Mall Gazette, "when Mr. Gladstone startled Europe by his pamphlet on the Bulgarian horrors no English statesman has launched a manifesto likely to haye such wid and permanent effects as that of Lord Salisbury." The government, though curiously blind, sees that there is a far greater political issue than' the restoration of Cetewayo or the indemnity of Mr.

Shaw. The Bishop of St. Albans, a moderate prelate, declares that the state of England tosday is that of France in the years immediately preceding the revolution. IcLabod! Post (deni,) Under ordinary circumstances it would not make tho least difference in the world what portion of the country tho presidential and vice presidential candidates were taken from, just so they happen to be the right 6ort of" men honest and capable. But, you see, the "ordinary circumstances'' don't exist at this particular juncture- Eyery man has a right to an expression on matters of party and political policy.

We belitve at this time the democrats have an even chance for success in 1884. If we wanted to throw away this chance and make republican success a "dead sure thing," we would freight the democratic ticket with a southern man hitched on for vice president. John Brown's Memory Assailed. Murrreesboro News (dein,) A writer in the North American Review has the temerity to question the claim which has been setup for Ossawotamie Brown as a noble martyr in the cause of human iberty and as a hero to De worsrnp ped by all generations to come. ihe fact is.

old John Brown was a con scienceless scoundrel and a midnight assassin, who was compelled to run away from Kansas to escape the death hedcseived for calling defenseless men out of their homes at night and shooting them down in the darkness. He was an outlaw made desperate by crime, and his last, exnloit at Harrier Ferry wa3 prompted by his hatred of the South and his murderous instincts. He deseryed the felon's fate which he received and should be remeniDerea only as a monster who was daring in his dehauce of lav ana wno mur dered without remorse. Eebuke from an Unexpected Quarter. Murfreesboro News, We favor temperance and will heartily endorse any practical tueas- uies which tend to decrease intern- i xl pe ranee, but we nave no sympaiuy whatever with the wild aud impracticable schemes which aro urged by fanatics who in their enthusiasm lose their senses.

The temperance movement has been greatly retarded by the blind and unconsidered action of many of its advocates, who insist upon impossible things, and stoop to all sorts of tricks to further their ends. A just rebuke was administered to these fanatics the other day when the Presbyterian Synod of New York refused to ens dorse the publications of the Na tional Temperance Society, because, as Dr. Howard Crosby xpressed it, the publications referred to are filled with ''the most outrageous and abominable aud because ''the false scholarship by which they thrust scripture texts out of their proper meaning was a disgrace to any society." He Rubbed Down a Wild Mitstans-Greeneville Democrat.

Henr "VVatterson at ranker's Convention. It was not, however, to hear of banks and bankers and banking that you did me tho honor to call mo before you.

I am told that to-day you are considering that problem, which has bo disturbed the politicians the South and that you wish me to talk to you about the South. The South the. South It is no problem at all. I thank God that at last we can say with truth, it is- simply ft geographic expression. Applause.

The whole story of the South may bo summed up in a sentence: She was rich and she lost her riches; she was poor and in bondage; she was set free, and had to go to work; Bho went to work and sua is richer than ever before. Applause. You see it was ajground-hog caso. Laughter. The soil was here.

The climate was here; but along with them was a curse, the curso of slavery. God pa3sod tho rod across the land and smote the people. Then in His goodness and mercy, He waved the wand of enchantment, and lo, like a flower, His blcssnig burst forth. Applause. Indeed may the Scuth say, as in tho experience of men it is rare for any to say.

with perfect sincerity: "Sweet aro the uses of adverily;" Applause. The south never knew what in-dendenco meant until she was taught by subjection to subdue her- self. We lived from hand to mouth. We had our debts and our niggers. Under the old system we paid our debts and waliopped our niggers.

Under tho new we pay onr niggers and wallow our debts. Laughter and app'ause.) We have no longer any slaves, but wo hava no longer any debts, and can exclaim with the darkey at tho camp-meeting, who, whenever he g'ot happj' went about shouting," ''Bless the Lord, I'm git-tin' fatter an' fatter!" Laughter. The truth is that, behind the great ruffle the South wore to its shirt, there lay concealed a superb manhood. That this manhood was pervc i ted, there no doubt. That it wasted it3 energies upon trifles, is beyond dispute.

That it took a pride in cultivating what it called "tho vices of a I am afraid must be admitted: But at heart, it was sound; from that heart flowed honest Anglo-Saxon blood; and when it had to lay asido it3 broads cloth and put on its jeans, it was equal to the emergency. Great applause. And thy women of the South took their place by the side of the men of the South, and with spinning wheel and plow share together they made a stond against tho wolf at the doer. Th was fifteen ears ago, and to-day there is not a reward offered in a single Southern State for wolf skins, Ths fact is, the very wolves have got ashamed of themselves and gone to work. Laughter and applause.
