Advertising is not the result of a good business, but the cause of it. Some of them may see the reason why they don't have a good trade. They have not let the people know what they have for sale.

If the tariff is a "fraud," as the democrats charge, then of course they will not put a tariff on sugar or any other item that, does not have duty on it now. And if they know the tariff is a fraud, then then they will be dishonest to themselves and unfaithful to the people if they do not wipe out the fraud by removing the tariff. Of course, we all understand that the democrats did not mean what they said we all know they perpetrated a fraud on the voters at the last election. But we propose to take them like the voters did, at their and hold them to exactly what they said. If they do not abcflish the tariff fraud and robber tdx, then they confess either that they have deliberately lied to the people or that they are incapable of conducting the affairs of the government, for either of which reasons, they ought to be, and we believe will be, removed from power in 1806.

Mayor Andrews made some recommendations to the city council last Tuesday night which we heartily endorse. Namely, that the control of the police department, at least so far as authority over the officers in times of emergency is concerned, and the control of the board of public works including appointments and disbursements, should be lodged in the city not necessarily the mayor, else corrupt aspirants for appointments in his power, should you unite to elect a corrupt man to that Colonels W. II. Ingerton and John B. 13rownlow, concurred in this and after much discussion they set out in the blinding storm to travel the eighteen miles, reaching Greeneville at daylight.

The troops included the 14th Tennessee Cavalry, the 9th Tennessee aud a battallion of the loth Michigan TOLD IN A LINE OR TWO. Paving is in progress on )Wet Ninth street, There will be a special meeting of the city council Tuesday night. Chattanooga is likely to have a cotton factory in the near future. The Cahill Iron company will erect a new foundry on Boyce street. The annual bank elections occur in January, first to fifteenth.

After January the 1st, the registry fee for first class matter will be eight cents. and pupils of the city wil enjoy a holiday until January 2nd, 1893. Examination has been in progress at the various schools of the city during the week. Excavation is in progrees on East Sixth street and the street is now closed to travel. Mrs Yeager has sued her husband, Harry, the well known.aport, for divoice.

An attempt was made to wreck a car on the Ridgedale line Wednesday night, by putting stones on the track. All differences between the Press and 1 the Typographical union have been settled.

The Press is now a union office. Mrs. Hurst, who was injured in the Loveman fire a year ago, has sued Love. man St for 20,000 damages. The first snow of the season fell Monday night and Tuesday morning; the surrounding mountains were clad in white.

Tofu Lopkins who escaped from the work house about four months ago, was captured in Fort Payne Tuesday. A freight car containing merchandise was broken into last Sunday night, near South Tredegar and a large amount stolen. The Federation of Trades petition the city council to abandon the present expensive system of conducting the manual training school. A young man named Donohue formerly of this city, but recently with the Coal Creek militia, was accidentally shot by his comrade a couple of days ago. The Helping Hand Laundry, a charitable institution, will open for business the coming week.

It is located in the old Presbyterian church on Chestnut street. According to the figures of the Federation of Trades committee, it cost the tax payets $454.50 for each of the eleven pupils attending the manual training school last year. Superintendent Wingfield of the water company declaresthat an attempt to enforce the provisions of the new water ordinance wt11 be resented by the company in the courts. Elihu Williams and Riley Kilgore two of Marion county's residents were before Commissioner Ewing Tuesday, for illegal liquoraelling. They were bound over to the federal court.

There was a good attendance present to witneas the exhibition of the Athletic Club Wednesday night. The boys acquitted themselves very creditably and received hearty applause. Legislators, please have the courage not to accept railroad passes. Don't barter your rights for a pass. If the people pay your mileage, you have no moral right to accept a pass.

Have you the the courage to refuse? The man who would be able to say he would not accept a pass on the floor of the house would be entitled to the respect of the people. What Political Condition Will the Mew Administration Itring About In lb SouthWill It Make BUM1100118 That Is the Question. To the itepabliesa. JASPER, Dec. suppose every citizen, detnocrat or republican, is glad Ss note the fact that the late campaign was not conducted with as much bitternem as heretofore.

Of course there have been some instances where abusive language was used, but to take the country in general, this has been a campaign of good will. Eight years ago the pelple said by their vote that they wonted a change and a change is what they got. They got such a change that in 1888 they concluded to make another change. And never in the history of our country have we had four years of miter prosperity; wages high, prices low, ant everything going to show that have been ruled by a good president and lived under a good policy. The reason why the people decided to lay aside this president and policy I cannot tell.

Probably because they wanted a change, and they were influenced by the cry of "hard times" and "force bill" at the South. It is true that "times" are bard at the South, but the republican party is not responsible for that. They have been trying to sremedy that all the time, but the South won't be remedied. Why are times hard at the South, when every other part of the country is so prosperous? Simply because the South has no manufactories to amount to anything. When a farmer wants a plow, mowing machine or any other farming implement he has to send north after it; thus taking all of the surplus money North when it could be kept South well.

But the South will not emourage capital to come here and build new factories. They don't seem to want them. The Southern democrats are now rejoicing because Mr. Cleveland is elected, believing he will help the South. We hope so, but don't believe he will; he can't if he follows up the principles of his party- It is believed by some that Cleveland's election will bring the north and so ith to a better understanding.

We hope it will for there is no man wishes more ardently than Mend I believe every republican shares my wish), to see the people both north and south lay aside their prejudices and enter into that rotherly love which will soonest lead our beloved country to the highway of liberty, peace and prosperity. "I see on our streets -the Hon. John H. Early, who so ably represented us in the upper house of the last legislature. Mr.

Early is one of our best legal talents, as ell as citizens," Jaaper correspondent to the South Pittsburg Republican. Yes, and a staunch republican, who will some day represent us in congress. Mr. Early did some excellent work in the campaign. Rev.

O. W. Dillon, of Cleveland, will fill the pulpit at the Cumberland Presbyterian church Xmas morning. Next week is court, and it will be hustling times as it is also Xmas week. Rev.

Thomas preached at the Southern Methodist church Sunday. Two certain young ladies must have exchanged fellows last Sunday: another girl was heard to remark: "h's too bad, guess it hurt her feellytts also. I wonder what our many reiders are going to do for Xmas. I wish some of our correspondents would tell "Reporter" what to do. REPORTillt.

that they opposed this plan of robbing Chattanooga of local self-government. We happen to know a few who favored the movement who now wish local self-government restored, because they have failed to secure office, or to get their streets paved. But as they will get their reward in the hereafter they need not be named now. The fact was, it was a political scheme, and the legislature passed it for that reason and while the republicans submitted to this un-American principle, they never countenanced or endorsed it. Those who worked for the bond measure, did it only after the legislature, fastening the thing on us, had been passed and there was no other recourse.

Mr. Blaine has been lying close to the door which leads out of this life. Last Monday, he was not expected to live, but he rallied and since then there has been a gradual improvement, although a second sinking spell may at any time remove him him in a few minutes. He has been suffering with Bright's disease but indirectly his impaired health is due to a worn out consti6ution. Two things have contributed to this condition First, great activity, and secondly, mental trouble, brought on by disappointments in public life and by family afflictions.

His death will be a public loss. For there is no question he is the most brilliant public man since the war. We trust Mayor Andrews will succeed in reforming democratic opinion on this subject, for he will merely be bringing his party back to the true republican principle of no taxation without representation. We endorse him because he has joined us. The conversion has been slow, but seems to be genuine.

4111 They approached Greeneville by different roads to surprise Morgan's raiders and to cut off their retreat. They dashed into the streets where tlie cavalry horses seemed packed and men were at sleep in the doorways and porches, practically stampeding them. Self's Hotel stands on the corner of the main street. Next door to it but fronting on a cross street was the Williams' residence, where Morgan had slept. He heard of their coming, and running out, first hid under the poarch, but afterward tried to reach the street.

He was ordered to halt, but had pistols in his hands and fired them. He turned into a grape arbor, covered with vines. At this minute Andrew Campbell, a member of the Thirteenth Tennessee rode up, and called to him to halt. Then Campbell fired, but missed the man. Dismounting, he took aim at the man who now started to reach the stables.

He fired and the man who afterwards proved to be Morgan, exclaimed, "0, God!" and fell forward into the vines, dead. By this time the Confederates were rallying to the attack and the Federals picking up the body hastily, put it on a horse, gathered their prisoners together and rode out of town. Afterward, the body was prepared for burial and later in the day was forwarded to the Confederate line. As was tol din the previous issue, the spot where Morgan fell is now marked by a stone, and like Andy Johnson's old tailor shop and his monument just outside of the town, is one of the historical spots of Greeneville. Before the election, Mr.

Cleve land was writing letters to every little girl's Ma that had a new baby, naming it or to every murderer endorsing his petition for a pardon and now he would not answers letter from a cabinet officer. Such is bigness. THE FEDERATION OF TRADES In the Republican of loth, appeared an article concerning the killing of General John L. raider at 4, 1864, and the fact that Rev. Andrew Campbell, now a resident of Meigs County, this state, was said to be the man who killed Morgan.

The article has excited wide comment and has brought out some new historical facts connected with the battle at that morning. For the benefit of our readers through East Tennessee, a brief review of all the facts are here made. General John II. Morgan, the Kentucky Confederate raider, had escaped from the Columbus, Ohio, penitentiary. At the head of a detachment of Confederates, he had been driven from Kentucky, when he made his third raid, and was now in East Tennessee with 2 ,000 troops.

Twenty-First Anniversary. Damon Lodge No. 2 Knights of Pythias will celebrate the twenty-first anniversary of the institution of the lodge, by a reception and ball at Williamson Hall 628 Market street, on Tuesday evening the 27th lust. We are sending out notices to our subscribers of amounts due. Among the number whose subscriptions expire January ist, are many that were taken on our cam- paip gn offers of 5o and 25 cents.

If you wait to receive notice of expiration of these your paper will be discontinued. You have learned to look for the REPUBLICAN weekly it has become almost a necessity in your household. It contains all the news, the Sunday-school lesson, an interesting serial story, and a large assortment of choicest reading matter. It is worth more as an educator in your family than any other influence that costs 'only $1.00 a year. Now is the time to renew.

Send by postal note or registered letter. Don't let your paper be discontinued. We heartily endorse the movement for local self-government in this city. But we do not particularly see why Mayor. Andrews should request the republican members of the council to aid in bringing about this much desired result.

It is a case where "the chickens are coming home to roost." We quite well remember that four years ago, and again two years ago, several of our leading democratic citizens, including C. P. Goree, R. L. Watkins, Thigh Whiteside, George W.

Ochs, M. M. IIope and others wore out their Nashville passes begging the legislature to give Chattanooga, Boards of This and Boards of That, lodging the power of appointment in the governor and some of these above named gentlemen went so far as to detail to legislative committee I that the city was run by niggers, that the niggers bad all the new school houses and the white children had to go to school in cast away nigger school-houses, etc, and beseeching the legislature to take away from Chattanooga local self-government. The legislature listened to all these misrepresentations and took away our local self-government and appointed expensive boards to rule us which have well nigh bankrupted the city, and unless local self-government is restored, Chattanooga cannot hope to rise above the so-called "dull times." The plain facts are we are taxed to death to' support boards and their attaches we have no local self-government boards which are accountable to nobody, not even a mythical governor who appoints' them at the dictation of corrupt and scheming politicians, tax us and dispense more money than we can raise, and are running the city like a vessel with too much steam power, prow foremost beneath the waves. The Old folks oncertOne Hundred Dollars Cleared.

The two performances of the Old Folks Concert at the Stone Church netted about $100. The proceeds go to the fund for frescoeing the church which swells it $500 about half the amount required to do the work. CITY COUNCIL. Makes Wise Recommendatious log the Manual Training School-- Pertinent Suggestions In the Interest of the Tax Payers. From The United Labor.

The conimittee appointed by the Federation of Trades of this city to investigate the Manual Training School, which consists of J. B. Hawkins, chairman, J. H. Williams and Walter Marcus, have addressed a communication to the Board of Mayor and Aldermen.

The committee, after a thorough investigation of the subject, finds that the school has cost the city for the first year, including fixtures and the incidental expences of starting, $454.50 per pupil, and estimates the cost of the second year at $250.00 per pupil. The cost, says the committee, "seems too great for the benefit derived." They recommend, therefore, that the city by ordinance offer to let the building to a 'competent teacher, who will give a proper guarantee to con4 duct a manual training school gratis, and pay him in addition one hundred dollars for every pupil over fourteen years of age, who shall attend. By conducting the school upon this plan, the cost would be reduced from $8,000 to $1,900. The committee further recommended that the city guarantee the attendance of twenty pupils, and that the rules, discipline and methods of instruction of the teacher be submitted to the city school commissioners, and that the only qualification required to enter the school shall be the ability to pass the examination foe entrance into the high school. Water Ordinance Became a Law.

A full board was in attendance at the council meeting Tuesday night. The most important business transacted was the pestling of the water ordinance, and the privilege tax ordinance, granting a franchise the new telephone company, the discusaion et the rail muddle and the passage of the compelling city employes to pay their debts or forfeit their situation. An ordinance fixing the price of gas at $1.00 per 1000 feet pabsed one reading, and was referred to the city attorney for an opinion. As a matter of interest to our readers show how the loyal East Tennesseeans were regarded by the Confedracy, we quote an order which, was issued from the Confederate capital by Judah P. Benjamin, the rebel secretary of war.

RICHMOND, Nov. 25, 1861. Your report of the 2oth is received, and I now proceed to give the desired instruction in relation to the prisoners of war taken by you among the traitors of East Tennessee. First, those who can be identified as having been engaged in bridge burning are to be tried summarily by drumhead court martial and, if found guilty, executed on On the night of 3, 1864, a twelve year boy was brought into Colonel Gillam's camp of Federal troops at Bull's Gap, eighteen miles from Greeneville, who gave the information that General Morgan had that day reached Greeneville in a blinding storm, and camped there expecting next day to swoop down on the Federals and wipe them from the face of the earth. Colonel John K.

Miller was anxious to take a detachment that night and fall on Greeneville next morning to surprise Morgan and his forces who would be demoralized by the storm and off-guard. T. C. Ervin .1 Co. Never in our dry goods history did we offer goods as cheap.
