Hon. S. F. Wilson, of Sumner county, is being pushed by his friends for appointment on the Interstate Commerce Commission. Sam Jones and Sam Small, the evangelists, have been summoned to appear before the grand jury at Kome, Ga., to substantiate charges of corruption and evil practices made from the pulpit in that city. A second survey of the Ohio & Mississippi Valley Railroad from Princeton, Ky.,to Nashville has been ordered. Gould is behind this road, and if he sets his stakes for Nashville, he will "get there." Wiietitek or not Benton McMil- lin succeeds in knocking the Speak ership plum, he is winning ns much national fame and popularity now as any other man on the continent, and it looks very much like he is 'goiDg to be speaker. Nashville and Chattanooga are both laboring in the throes of heated municipal campaigns. Nashville has two Democratic tickets in the field while Chattanooga has a colored gen' tleman aspiring to the mayoralty of that city, in addition to the regular Democratic and liepublican nomi nees. Chief Justice Peter Turney has written a letter to the Nashville American in which he shows that the work of the Tennessee Supreme Court is rapidly increasing beyond the capacity of the bench to handle it. Uy very long and hard labor the court has kept the dockets cleared for the last few years, but Judge Turney says it will be impossible to do so in tuture with the rapid increase in number of cases. He urges that something be done to keep the work of the court from getting far behind The Legislature having failed to do anything with the lease system or penitentiary question, the courts are now to have a chance at the matter. While the Legislature was in session, Attorney-General Pickle rendered an opinion, holding that the convicts could not be sub-leased. The miners at Briceville have now instituted proceedings in the Knox County Criminal Court to test the legality of the matter, and the miners have again magnanimously agreed to sus pend hostilities in that region until the suit is settled. Our contemporary says that "the United States is now coining sixty millions of dollars of silver annually. The product of our mines amount to less than sixty millions per annum," from which the amount used in the arts should be deducted, lie also tells us that if the Governim-nt should 'oin the remaining fraction that the price of silver would advance ;tf per rent. G-e-e-W-h-i-s ! New Era. If by "our contemporary" in the above the Standard is meant to be designated, we want to deny the impeachment. The Standard said no such silly things us are imputed to it in the above. The Kra is just about as accurate in the above, how ever, as it is in measuring the ap proval of its course by the Democra cy of Warren countv. Hrui: is an extract from a speech recently delivered by lion. K. (J. Mills at Mansfield. O.: 'During my public service I have -poken, written and voted for free eoinage, I have believed ami still believe that the United States can open her mint to the free coinage of -i!ver at !"' ounces equal to 1 uf gold SOUTHERN STANDARD and keep the two metals at par, not only in the United States but in the commercial world, but I don't be- ievo that the free coinage of silver will relieve the country from the dis tress from which it is now suffer- nx. The National Democratic conven tion next year will take the same view of the matter, and will side track the silver qnestion as Mr. Mills lias done. The McMinnville Standard re marks: "Gold has the same value with or without the government stamp; silver has not; therefore silver would not be as good as gold under free coinage of silver." Will Brother Reams please inform ns what gives the gold the same value with or with out the Government stamp as with it? This is one of the deceptive ar guments of monometalists. Clarks ville Leaf-Chronicle.- The intrinsic worth of the metal, we suppose. We can see nothing el9e which could give it a uniform value the world over. The Leaf- Chronicle does not deny the fact of our statement, and we fail to com prehend how a solid, rock-ribbed fact can constitute a deceptive argu rnent. We know that our free coin age friends hold that the fiat of the GovernmenJ would put silver on a parity wun gold, and give it an in trinsic value which it does not now possess. We take no such rosy views of the powers of our Government, we do not believe the stamp of the Gov ernment can add anything to the in trinsic worth of silver, therefore we oppose its free coinage. We believe free coinage of silver will give U9 two standards of money a cheap kind for the poor and a high kind for the rich, and that this will work great injury the masses. Aside from the political heresies which the Alliance is trying to foist upon the country, the Alliance is ex ercising an influence for evil in other ways. A large majority of the Al liance "lecturers" are men whose minds run in very narrow grooves, who have small conception of the nobility and independence which should characterize the real farmer, and whose chief talent is a glib tonguo and a windy pair of lungs Their "lectures" for the most part are simply wordy demuniations of the old parties, and appeals to the preju dices of the more ignorant classes Instead of a tendency to instruct and elevate these clases, seeds of discord are sown, and a spirit of agrarianism and socialism is engendered. ' The Alliance has fallen far of its organic promises. Had its first declaration of principles been carried out in proper spirit, it might have been an instru ment of great good to the agriculture classes, but the order rapidly degen erated into a secret political organi zation. It can point to few, if any instances where it has made better farmers out of its members, but it has made third-rate politicians out Of many men who might have been good fanners had the educatioua line of work proposed by the Alliance been pursued. The Alliance is cul tivating discord and dissatisfaction in the ranks of the farmers, and has utterly failed to better their condition in the smallest particular. An or ganization with such a record de serves only the censure of every good citizen. Harvey Watterson Dead. Louisville, Oct. 1. Hon. Har vey M. Watterson, father of Henry Watterson, died tonight in this city at 10:30 o'clock. He was born Bedford County, Tenn., Nov. i3 1811. In 1830 he succeeded James K.

The Mississippi Valley was shaken up to a considerable extent by earthquake between ten and eleven o'clock last Saturday night. St. Louis experienced the heaviest sen sations, many tall building in that city being visibly nUected, and tho people much alarmed. The shock extended to many other towns and cities, but no damage to buildings is reported from any quarter.

Griefs are finally turned to joys if tho faith that walks with them can daily ook into the face of God. Anon. One of Sancho Fanza's sayings was this : He preaches well that lives well ; that is all the divinity I understand. Our character is but the stamp on our bouIs of the free choice of good and evil we have made through life. Geikie. The greatest benefit which one friend can confer upon another is to guard and excite and elevate his virtues. Dr. John eon. Thoughtlessness is never an excuse for wrongdoing. Our hasty actions disclose as nothing else does our habitual feelings. -Field. It was the policy of a good old gentle man to make his children feel that home was the happiest place in the world ; and I value this delicious home feeling as one of the choicest gifts a parent can bestow. Washington Irving. One will confer the greatest benefits on jhis town, not by raising its roofs, but by exalting its souls ; for it is better that great souls should live in small habita tions than that abject slaves should bur row in great houses. Epictetusi The Chicago Dial, a literary paper, culls phrases like ' the following from Bishop Spaldings volume of essays, "Education and the Higher Life ;" "The highest joy is serious ;" "What only the few can attain can not be life's real end or the highest good;" "Joy is good only when it comes unbidden;" "Distrust is the last wisdom a great heart learns ; " "To grow is to outgrow;" "The worst foe of excellence is the desire to appear. " WIT AND WISDOM. Money does not improve a mean man. Contentment is the wine made from the historic sour grapes. The moment humility undertakes to carry a flag it kills itself. If the devil ever feels good, it must be when he looks at a hypocrite. Keep a close eye on the man whose wife is afraid to ask him for money. True merit never found a cloud big enough or dark enough to obscure it. Wealth may be unequally divided, but every man gets his full share of trouble.

Don't rob your wife all her lifetime in order to make some provision for her in case you should be first taken away. Troy Press There is room for everybody in this big world.
