and means, “1 am able.’’ A* a filthy
varmint I decline it (till, and It l bad
been invited to the toast X Mould ha v«
replied noo ’possum. I can eat orow,
bat not ’poeeom. A bouaru would b*
so palatable, for oo* U a day scavenger
ana tba other bunt* for carrion by
night. Mot long ago Mr. Hal* told
me at Rising Fawn that his boy caogbt
three on three snetMlve night* by.sst
tlag bio steel trap on o dead bog In tb*
woods, uad Mr. Young told mo yes
terday that tb* last one hi* dug treed |
was In tba csrcase or a dead boras. I
Mow, if a 'possum Is kept up lu a cuop
or pen for a mouth nod fed on decent
food, bis oily carcass inlgbt be Alien
for a scalawag or a hungry darky.
<‘-ol. Candler In hU letter slogs the
praise* and tb* oily julost of the north
Georgia ’pornom. hut tutus up his
noo* at tbs piny woods breed. Tbe
difference U that dead dog* and bogs
and mole* are few and far between in
the plney woods, and tba 'possumj
can’t got enough carrion to get fat.
Rut 'poaaam Is just now thu poll tic* I
fad, and a politician will eat anything
for office except crow. They don’t
like that. Dr. Miller used to say Uni
he could aat orow, but be didn’t hank
er after it. W* college boy* uaed to
have 'possum supper* away io the
night bat Hansel, who furnished them
kept them up and stallfad them. Tbe
Chief MtlsfaCtlsc, however, was In
bnaklog tb# ruin sod dodging the
professors and tutor*. Jim VVarrau
and Obese Howard uaed lu give mid
night Mppera and pull up the ,possum
and turn So s basket by a rupo and
take it in at a tblrd-etory window.
Wail, tbe nation has got a slogan,
too. Cuba and Hawaii are still on
deck as Mattlreooks, and the gams is
loog and uncertain. Cuba la a fruit
that is about ripe, and ought to be
polled before It rola on tbe tree; but
i I swell is a* green at o gourd. On ha
is 400 miles lung, and it nearby and
nbould be purchased, Jan like we
bought Florida from Hpaiir but
Hawaii io 9,000 miles from our I’adUo
eoaat, and oil tb* Islands put logsUwr
have not at much area aa a tingle
county la Texas. Tnay toy we want
tifora coaling ststiou. W* have U
now for that, and can keep it daring
peace; but it would take oil our lluis
nary to bold it daring war. It looks
very Ilka tba wJTole plot of annexation
is a personal Job for a tew men. They
are trying to alarm at with the threat
tbat if we do aot annex It England
will. I don’t reckon England wants
it very bad. In case of a great war it
would take a good part of her navy to
hold it, and the game It pot worth tbe
candle. Oar poor ItIU* navy won't
Justify os in annexing anything, sod
we can’t burry up any more battle
ship* under tbo Diu^ley tariff and the
pension frauds.

Tba United State* hat 0 battleship*,

and 5 torpedo boat*—In all SO kwli.
How tS that for war ? Japan has
more war keel* afloat than tlie United
Staten, aad la now tba acknowledged
niatnwa of the Pacific ocean. But we
eaa beat than *U la a brag and bluster
J Ingot can. We are very like the aver
age young matt who lives oo bis fath
er’s reputation. We gobaekaoen
tary or se aad baak on the Conetltu
twa and the Wasp in tba days of Paul
Jonas sod Decatur. Those were glo
rious vtetoftsa, bet we were Cgbtlng
oo the defensive then, and our great
leaden, both on land and ms, were
Southern nsec—Paul Jones was from
Virginia and Decatur was from Mary
land aad old John Adams did ’ot like
either of theta.
Bat almost srerylblog that oonoerns
OoograM now Is political jobbery-and
tha penal on frauds will go on. They
grow bigger and bigger aa the yean
roll on. Tha fifty thonasnd pension
lawyers op Horth moat ba kept fat,
and Ibary are organised and know bow

from aaefa one will pUoa half a million

Wickedness la lilgta places still pro
fails, aad the wonder is that the na
tion survives lu corruption. I board
boom preachers discussing It on lbs
railroad nod one said tha wickedness
was so mi It sras a woodsr that tha
Lord didn't destroy tba capital and all
tbe great eltlee. But an ohl Irish
praachar said: "So air; do air t the
lend wouldn’t have destroyed Sodom
If tbsrs baa been tea good mao there,
sod I am sun that than are at least
fifty la Atlanta and nearly aa many In
Washington nod Now York.
Ne. slr, the oI lies ora safe for soma
Uma to soon, but It la wall enough to
keep your ays on a place lo Ilia ooun
try. In 1841 Thorn*i H. Heaton made
a great speech In tha United States
Senate In whloh bn opposed tba grant
of fifift.000 to President Harrlaoa's
wldoW aad said: “A new page has
been opened in tha book of our eiyen
d It urea and tbla new departure takea
which leads to tba bottomless golf of
penal one aad grata Ilia*.” Verily ha
epoka like a prophet, for H.OVJ.OUO.OUO

So all thla i tea la# e la uo new tbiug
and It wouldn’t matter very much If
It concerned the North only, hot we
down South bare to pay a big part of
It and get nothing beak. The wonder

During the hex Inge given by the
Rouse committee ou tanking and cur
rency u> the member* of tbe monetary
on man** ton there have been no mure
interested llrtenera than those Demo
cratic member* of Congress who are
most pronouncedly iu favor of silver.
They profess to believe the failure of
ti e Republic ms to agree upon a plan
of currency reform will strengths*} tbe
silver srutimeot at the country ami
aid tbo Democrats materially in the
oougressioual elections. The dismal
prospect of currency leicislatiou ai Uii*
enalon Is, therefore, as planting to Hie
silver Democrats a* It is disheartening
to the sound money uien of tbe two
lionses, sod If it alto transpires that
Uie BepoUlcau majority In tha Uoute
cannot agree upon a hill I be Demo
erttt will be delighted.
The Republicans, they aay, agree
with the Democrats that Uie presant
monetary system Is unsatisfactory, iiud
Uie volume of money lusuffieienl fur
Uie builueaa of the couutry. Instead,
however, of agreeing with tbe Demo
crat* that better times eon be brought
a boot by a larger use of silver, tlw Re
publican* propose to Increase the cir
culation of ptper money based prlcl
pally upon gold coin, but partly upon
the credit of the government und
partly upon the available astoli of tha
various banking institutions. Iu de
funding their own contention regard
ing silver, they insist the controversy
over the money question, since U>e
formation of tbe different financial
scheme* now being considered by tbe
banking and currency cnmmilUs, lias
narrowed down to a positiou for tbo
larger roe of p»per money Instead of
ailver, and that the proposed provi
sion* for the sarety of tha currency *r*
such a* would give an artificial value
to tha paper with >ut Insuring Ute sta
bility of Its value,
Iu addition to thl*. the silver Dem
ocrats hope to be able to straw Hist the
Republicans bra unable to agree upon
a plan of ourreaoy reform, although
.there Is apparently no lack of agree
ment rupee ting the need of currency
legislation. Tbo absence of a fiction*
plan lor Improving tha currency sys
tem limy contrast with tbelr own well
defined belief lu tbe efficacy of fra*
silver ooluaga aa a remedy for all
financial ills.
While the Democrats are no mot*
practical Id tbeir plana of monetary
reform bow than they wars during tbe
campaign of 1890, their hope that the
UrpublioaDi will not be able to evn|e»
a general financial fubeme upon which
llwy caa agree and which will also
bar* tbe approval of tbe commercial
world I* aot without reaauu. 'Chare
ia grave danger that tha multiplicity
of plans which are already being stig
g«»ted, and which are still to |>a
evolved, together with LUe disagree
tuenl of the Republican members of
the bauklug and currency oomtalttea
on the charautcr or tbe hill to be re
ported. will Increase the opportunities
of the silver men to oast doubt upon
the sonuduera of the Baanclal princi
ples upon which the last presidential
campuln was won.
The Democrats are preparing tor a
most active campaign In the coming
summer and Tall, and as the money
qucstluo will again be the dooiloiint
euaSKteration ia .tottrmlalog the elec

Cusuky MOON rATN. Jan. 18.—This
seclloa la now ublaxa wllb excitement,
aod (lie color of blood Ison tba pale
face of 1 he moon. The caoee of war ia
not bonds or lb«> repudiation of bouds,
but because of dirif rercaeot as to laud
boundaries. Tim land bare U not vel
uable, aod H Is not because tbey have
not enough to cultivate. Some of the
alleged farms are to poor you can’t
mlae a disturbance oo them, aod a
great deal of Use land is looked after
as a place to harvest ptna-korta tu th»
winter HDd fox-grapes In the suauKr.
The hr*1 pessage-at arms took place
between the Brst nlerk and gieaaer-ln
chlef of a saw.mill, and a very re
doubtable minister of llm Gospel. A
surveyor-general was Called lu from
Rutherford county toralabllah the line
between the contending parties, lie
tort two dejre. his last year's crop of
religion, aud then refined both farms
as part pay. Tire contest auta are not
sat is Bed and have appealed to the solar
plexus stroke, aa tbe moat satisfactory
arbitration. Tim match will come off
oa February 220, lbt>8, under Marquis
of (jueensimry rules. Tbe tight will l*
loaUnlsh.
Two other Grangers, the one au ex
bouae carpenter and the other en act
ing justice of fbo p*«et\ lied some Uif
fercuce of opinion about land. The
face of each look! like a chopping,
block, and their clansmen liaVe ou war
palut. The aarveyor took no extra
hazardous accident poller, and when
laat eeeu waa offering 123 for nne end
of a road leading into the state of
Buncombe. Thera, lie aavi, the wick
ed laud-grabbers cease from troubling,
and surveyors are at rest. He says he
had ruUier risk hie life end limb among
the most arrant bond-repudiators of
buncombe, yea, even tearless Stanly,
than to meet a eon of Cherry Moun
tain who has ina amuck because soni«
bodjr disputes purt of tile 40 acre claim
In the forest.
While Pllzsimmows and Corbett are
Ulklug their jaws off and perforating
their bead-gear with unseemly speaeh,
osr hayseeds gel right down to besi
oeas. Get up the land subject sod we
can have a nice scrapping match lu 13
minutes.
The disputed boundaries are ell near
the school house, end when any -‘mix
ing'’ la done, as Ashling U termed, we
stand adjourned till some defeated as
pirant for freebolderehlp throws op the
si>oote, and admits that he owns no
laud, never has owned any and never
expect* to own but two feat by six.
Xo man is looked up to hare unlesa
be owns at laaat five dug* They also
■crap over the titles while the masters
Aghi, and lo see about three coo plea
of man arid a strong Istllalkm or dogs
rolling in oombat i* Indeed thrilling.
We are prepared to say that edoeaUou
does not Increase erlms. Tbeas sladi
slur# are not irarosd-don’t want to
be learned. No cnmmanlty is euirelt
ed with literary attainments where Hie
dog la too conch in evidence, a sheep
has no show lu thesuylrun* of Oheriy
Mountain, and the bog unless I* be of
the pluey woods rooting variety. Is de

Book learning Is rated with uncer

regarded as au eetl, and not a very
