Watch a genuine lively boom strike lookout valley—wait, watch and be “careful.” Oh, unhappy Trenton: when Will you be blessed with a school to suit the factions. “Amazing grace, how sweet the Bound”: Wo have anew board of town commissioners. •*— The new Town Commissioners are J. P. Bond, J. A. Cureton, li. T. fcßrock and B. P, Majors with a fifth Knan to he elected. The tie of T. J. Lumpkin and T. H, B. Cole nec essitated another election. 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.
