American Society,

There is really growing to be some
thing which may be strictly called So
ciety in America. We are discovering
that society does not mean a collection
OF rich people, whose possessions permit
to them any sort of extravaganza, but
that it means all sorts of people those
who have much money, and those who
have little; those who are clever and
those who are dull; those whose man.
sions hold hundreds, and those whoes
parlors are crowded with fifty. And NE
last is the most important discovery.
The left-out feeling that many persons
OF moderate means have had is passing
away. They find they can take a
graceful part in social life without too
great an outlay Of time and money !;
and they embrace the2opportunity with
cordiality. Society must always be 80
different in this country from what it
is anywhere else, that no comparison
is possible. But it cannot fail to have a
freedom d and variety very attractive

The Elections.

In Wisconsin, the bottom Of the Re-
publican tub has fallen out, and the
State goes reform, anti-monopo]y or
whatever it may be called, by some five
thousand majority.
Get down to New York, and you
hear nothing Of anti monopoly or farm
ers' party, there it is Democracy
straight, and they have carried the
State by about 10000 majority.
Massachusetts, gives Republican
majority of about 10000 on Me, State
ticket, and elects twepty-sixl Gut Of
forty members of the Sd pate I'D about
two-thirds of the Assembly,
The contest in Mississippi WAS be,
tween the Ames and Alcorn factions Of
the Republican party, and the -heturns
indicate that Ames -has~been successful
by handsome majority.
The returns from Arkansas are mea.
ger, but indicate the election of the en-.
tire Republican ticket.
In Illinois the farmers ticket was
successful, but by how much majority
we have not learned.
New Jersey has elected fourteen mem.
bers of the Senate to the Democrats
seven, while the Assembly stands
thirty-two to thirty eight, giving the
Republicans majority of eleven on
joint ballot.

equal than the man.
also believe that the world vould
to-day be happier, if man had never ex-
isted.
AS a success, /. man is a failure, and
l bless my stars that my mother was a
woman. (Applause).
| not only maintain these principles.
but maintain shiftless husband be-
sides.
They say man was created first.
Sposin' he was? Amt first expert
ment always failures?
If was a betting man, I would bet
two dollars and half that they are.
The only decent thing about him
was rib, and that went to make some.
thing better. (Applause.)
And then they throw it into our face
about Eve taking an apple.
I'll bet five dollars that Adam boost
ed her up the tree and only gave her
the core.
And what did he do when he was
found out
True to his masculine instincts, he
sneaked behind Ewes Grecian Bend,
and said " 'twasn't me, twas her; ;"
and woman has had to father every
thing mean since, and mother it too.
What we want is the ballot, and the
ballot we're bound to have, if we let
down our back hair and swim in sea
Of sanguinary gore. (Sensation)
Bring up your little daughters to
love and caress the ballot, and when
they grow old and scrawny they will
not depart from it.
Teach them that man occupies no
position that woman cannot fill, even to
pair of pants.
Teach them that without the ballot
woman is simply cooking and wash.
ing machine, that with it she can just
rule her little roost.
Give 'em little ballots to play WITH
We have plenty Of ballet girls, but
what we want is ballot women.
The male creature now sitting on
this platform, whom the ID compe}s me
to call husband, says I haye got ballot
on the brain.
He says 1 sleep with ballot unde,
my pillow, and dream that am com
mander in chief of large army of bal
lots, and am cleaning out everything
that looks like the male sex, while the
band plays "see the conquering Sherc
cometh."
Such remarks show that man was
created lower than the beasts of the
sea, the carrion OF the e5air, or the rhi
noceros upon the prairies.
And what can be expected of this
man Skinner, whose intellect is lower
than that Of a oommonsquahaug? Gap

My soul is filled with poetry and sen

WILL THE MAYORS ORGAN ExPLAIN'

Van Gilder's organ has not yet explained
to the public how it is that he can afford to
serve as Mayor of Knoxville free of salary,
and yet spend several thousand dollars to
rally up votes enough to elect him. His
hackers in this city and his subordinate
officials i'm the city governmental have boosted
openly of the several thousand dollars they
were going to spend to re-elect the Honor
able Mayor. We can give names, times and
places where these boasts were made, if any
interested taxpayers want to know. They
were made by men who keotc what the
real estate ring are doing. We ask again,
how can Mayor serve the city for moth
ing and spend so much money, for his re-
election? There must be a profit in the
office somewhere! For three years, now,
this ring has spent money freely to beat
good men for office. Where does
it come from. Honest taxpayers
want to know how it is. Will the Mayors
organ explain? We are talking now in
earnest. We mean that the taxpayers OF
this city shall know before election day
how their money is expended and why it
is that the real estate ring can afford to
spend so much money on voters.

GENERAL GEORGE H. THOMAS.

Few men have more deservedly won an
enduring fame than General George Ill.
Thomas, the hero of Chickamauga. Few
men more thoroughly enjoyed the conf
dence of his army or had the love of his
soldiers than "old Pap Thomas" His
services tolhis country have been inesti-
mable. 1t is proper that now, since his
death, the Congress of the United States
should perpetuate his memory by proper
statue. 1t is eminently proper that re-
quest for such public testimonial should
be made by LTennessees honored Repre-
sentative in the House of Representatives.
Murfreesboro', Chickamauga and Mission
ary Ridge-scenes of his most heroic eX.
pIoits-are all OH Tennessee soil. Even
the gallant Confederates, who so bravely
withstood his stubborn onsets, respect and
admire General Thomas. Not a stain rests
upon his fair name. His sword is not
dimmed by single ungallant act. Pile
high the monumental shaft! Epgrave
deep upon it the record of his honors, fol
Americans everywhere respect and admire
the character of the dead hero.

MISSOURI is the scene of some political
excitement now, growing our of Senate
rial election to choose Frank p. Blairs
successor in the United States Senate.
Frank wants to be his own successor, and
to bring this about he is writing letters
and attempting to explain a somewhat
troublesome record. He first authorized
friend to deny that he ever voted in Con-
gress for the confiscation act of 1862
Now, after thinking about it, he re-
members that he did vote for said
act. He is down on his knees to
his Confederate friends, telling them that
he did do it, but he won't do it any
