The Chattanooga papers seem to
have a very careless correspondent
from this place, or some one is well
versed in the art of political schem
ing. The mistake should bo cor
rected or the fraud exposed.
As between local candidates of
the Democratic party .»ur dUn
concern will be neutral. Yet we
can’t sec this “monkeying” going on
and not notice it. We will write
if‘‘Tho hell itself should gape and
bid us hold our peace, '
Our reply to Mr. Lee’s article on
public roads was crowded out this
Week, consequently will appear
itt our next issm . We regret that
weave forced to let the question
grow Cold, but after looking over
oUr file found it impossible our re
ply in this issue.
Should Trenton offer the induce
ments to keep the paper that Rising
Pawn offers for its removal we
would be settled, and we would
feel content to stay. Upon this
particular er pci.- Trenton seems
to be more sluggish than usual 10
Ind its aid. Is no our paper
worthy of your -upp-ort? or would
you see if removed and fee] r;<* re
gret from having 10-: it ?
WIIA T HAS CL K MKN TS IX )N K ?
The question is sometimes asked
by those Oj nosed to Hon. J. (’,
Clements: What has he done to
entitle him to be returned to Con
gress again? Let him give some
other fellow a chance.” The oth
er fellow had his chance in 1880.
But as to tlie question, it is one
that can bo eaisly and satisfacto
rily answered, and as it is a matter
in which the people of the Seventh
district hnv an interest we shall
undertake to give some of the offi
cial acts of our immediate Repre
sentative in Congress which en
title him to tlie public recognition.
There are few men with such a ck
satisfactory record as Mr Ck
cats, and it is more a pl< t-sure ■ hi n
a task to answer the question,
“What has he done?”
Among the speeches he has made
in Congress may he mentioned
that on the opportionment of Rep
resentatives in Congress, the modi
fication of the tariff, the coinage of
silver, the fisheries dispute between
the United States and Canada,
civil service reform, the reduction
of taxes and the appropriation of
public money. Hi# speech on the
coinage of silver in the 48th Con
gress was regarded with much fa
vor, and was published in full at
that time in some of the promi
nent papers in the Southwest, Ilis
minority report on the civil service
law in the 49th Congress, was ex
tensively copied aud favorably
commented on throughout the
country.
The record shows that he has
voted for the coinage of silver, for
the regulation and restriction of
railroad corporations, for the reduc
tion of taxes, and on the economi
cal side of all measures appropri
ating the people’s money. His
votes and voice have at all times
been against monoplies and trusts,
and in the ink. rest of the-whole peo
ple. lathe thousands of his re
corded voles not one has ever been
successfully called in question, or
condemned by his constituents.
No stronger argument could be pro
duced to prove diligence and faith
fulness, and no higher com): liment
could be paid to his ability and in
tegrity.
It is a mistaken idea that a use
ful and successful Congressman
must he a great orator, or do some
notable act of no ordinary line of
work. This is a practical'business
age and the host results arc ob
tain"'! by plain, honest work. It
should also ;> • remembered that
Congress is composed of 325 me
mbers and 70 Senators, and the use
fullness or influence of any single
member can only ae properly un
derstood and measured by compari
son, and in connection with the
work of the whole body. The ques
tion might he asked, what has anv
one member of Congress done*’
Congress does not act by individ
ual members, but as a whole, and
no one man can claim credit for
any act of that body. Speech
making is only a small part of tie
duties of a Congressman, and that
may be easily overdone. The sub
stantial results' of Congress arc
wrought out in committee rooms,
and libraries and departments. Af
ter the investigation of public
questions a Congressman has much
to do in looking after private
claims, hunting up information
for his constituents, visiting the
various executive departments,
and in answering inquiries of thorn
who have claims or demands
against the government. These
duties require the most work and
usually result in the most practi
cal good, in this line, wo venture
the assertion that Mr. Clements
has no surperier. The value of
his acquaintance, and influence in
the departments at Washington
has been felt in every county and
community m the .Seventh dis
trict. There is] or haps not a Con
gress ioual district in the .Stale
where tin mail service has been
much hi - proved. New post u: iee -•
and aiaii rout.,.- have been estab
usn d in almost every neighbor
| uood. and the service has been in
lev. tv, way made efficient, As an
,im - une v, . give the dai y mail be
j two. n ( nihoun ami Sonora and
Fairmount. It places tffi* people
along its line in daily communica
tion with the outside world, and is
a .groat improvem r.t \v on tin? old
system of semi-weekly mails. The?*?
are things that come home to us
all and demonstrate the advantage
of having a representative at Wash
ington, who has .timohind inclina
tion to represent his own constitu
ents.
1 Mr. Clements is in every sense a
practical man, plain and unassum
ing in manners, and perfectly im
partial in his treatment of the peo
ple. A poor man has an equal
chance with his rich when dealing
wih him He is all times and ev
".vhore a lean, upright, Christian
t > • in, ever mindful of his ob
' ens as a public servant and
never failed to do his duty. This
proves him a representative man
and a sufficient reason why we
should retain him Congress.
One of the distinguished fen;
ures of Mr. Clements’ record :
Congress has been, and is, fc ■ op
position to monopolies and comb
nations against the rights of the
common people. The tendency
with public men of the present
time seems to be to curry favor
with the rich, aud form unholy al
liances to plunder and rob the peo
ple. In such a time when we are
struggling against moneyed cor
porations who are striving to rob
us not only out of products of our
farms, but by mortgages to take
our farms as well, we are fortunate
to have.our representative in Con
gress an honest, experienced and
unyielding enemy of monopoly
corporation. Clements has been
tasted. We know him and haw
nothing to fear.
It is to bo observed, also, that lie
has the confidence of his associates
in Congress, and of men who are
known everywhere for wisdom and
statesmanship. Mr. Carlisle the
distinguished speaker of the House
of Representatives deems him ca
pable of being chairman of an im
portant committee in Congress. He
is also regarded by . tlie I.aider- of
his party in Washington as compe
tent to serve on the committee on
: ath ■r, of vk - -a : . ,
Tail, of Pennsylvania, is chairmen
and which controls the appropria
tion of millions of dollars, anually.
€■ markab . 1 tUk
to mo. ■ other : m -khwP should erv
aloud to know what claim Judge
Clements has to recognition, when
he is the only member Horn the
kjuth that received the dis
tinguished compliment in the or-!
ganization of the present House, of
being made chairman of one com
mittee, and being given a promi
nent place on another of the most
important committees of tlie House.
And in all these places of honor and
responsibility he has never ■ failed
to m quit himself with credit, and
to hhchargo the duties they iin
o;-. d L. ue r >.■ salisfaetory man
- i’.
Th contention is that he has
neon in Congress long enough. But
fortunately for the South she is be
ginning to realize that length of
service only fits a competent man
for more effective service. Ti
Democratic party is now pas.-”
through a trying and er’ ir..
period, and wisdom and exper tv
were never more urgently demand
r-d. If Mr. Clements has made a
good representative up to this time,
lie will make a better one in the
future. There are many men in
Congress whose term, of service is
much longer than Mr. Clomants.
Mr. Blount of this State has been
there about sixteen years. Forney
of Alabama, about that long. So
with Mr. Herbert, of Alabama,
Culberson, and Mills, of Texas,
and Townsend of Illinois, with
scores of others. , These men are
wiser and better representatives by
having been so long in the service,
and it seems a foolish argument to
insist that merely bceense Mr.
Clements has been in Congress six
or seven years he should be pushed
aside—especially when no good
reason can be shown far such •-
course, and wherfhe is so eminent
-1 . qualified to do us efficient ser
vice There we think are suffice nt
reasons wvh Hon. J. C. Clement,
shout be returned to Comrress.
1. UR A NETHERY
From our home we miss our dar
ling
When the (sunset hour draws nigh,
And tlie blind in g tears are falling
As we think of days gone by,
But the reaper claimed our treas
ure,
And we dare not queftion why.
Brightly beamed life’s morn be
fore her,
Sweet and holy were earths ties.
But our Father in hi wisdom,
Ca led our lovod one to the skies,
She has conquered death and
sorrow.
Shelias won, we trust, the prize.
Long the struggle ere she left us,
fiver patient, mild and sweet:
Long -beside the shining river,
Ere she trod the golden street.
But the angels beckined —“Over,
Darling come, with joy we greet.”
And we would not, though we
mourn her,
C.i* her from t hat r 'diant show.
Hoping up in Heaven to meet her
•re these parting scenes are o’er
ite robed spirit, she has enter -
