THURSDAY.

The election for county officers will be
held throughout the State Of Tennessee
on Thursday next The people are not
excited on the subject in this coun-
ty, because the Radicals and In
dependents have not yet an
Dounced their ticket. But it is to
be hoped that the consciousness Of SUI
perior strength will not induce the De-
mCcracy to be so inactive IS to lose the
election where they need nothing but
energy and enthusiasm to enable them
to win an easy triumph. In times OF
war the officer who permits a surprise
commits crime, and IL the Democracy
of Shelby, on Thursday next, suffers the
Radicals and Independents to surprise
them with ticket, and thereby elect it,
they will commit crime for which they
will suffer. Let every Democrat in
Shelby county turn out on Thursday
and work for the regular nomi-
nees with as much zeal and
energy as If they had formidable opposi-
ZION. This is the only way to prevent
cefest by surprise. II Tennessee is the
first State to vote before the Presidential
election, she should be the first to in
spire the National Democracy with hope
and enthusiasm. The Radicals and In
dependents must be defeated on Thurs
day next; not 10y Decorating the polls,
not by fraudulent invasion Of the rights
and privileges guaranteed by law, not
by intimidation, but by the force of ar
gument, labor for the nominees, and
calm determination that right shall pre-
vail. Memphis must do her duty. The
southern people contributary to this city
are essentially Democratic, and they de-
sire to see the emporium Of the State,
the great city OF the south, true expo
nent Of their principles. Then they
would be proud to build her up and
place her where che deserves TO
stand. Let Memphis be true to
the people by whom she is sup
ported, then they will stand by a city,
not alien to their sentiment and feeling,
not rejoicing in the victories o. their
Radical enemies, but glorying in the
triumph OF the Democratic party, labor
ing to promote the prosperity OF the
south and all tina. contributes
to her prosperity and welfare.
Then the tsx-paying people of the south
who are Democrats will continue TO
pour into her lap the wealth Of as rich
back country as can be found upon che
hsbitsble globe. The Democrats pre-
sent an unohjectioaable ticket for alb the
offices - be filled on Thursday next
and again we earnestly urge upon the
party the necessity Of going to the polls
and working for the Democratic nOmi-
nees. Be prepared for trickery on the
day Of the election. The schemers are
at work.

The HeaIthfuIness Of Lemons.

When people feel the need Of an acid,
if they will let vinegar alone and use
lemon or sour apples, they would feel
just as well satisfied, and Teceiye no in
jury. And suggestion may not come
amiss as good plan when lemons are
chesp in the market. A person should,
in those times, purchase several dozens
at once, and prepare them for use in the
warm days Of spring and summer, when
acids, especisIly citric or malice, or
acids Of lemons, and rips fruit, are so
grateful and useful. Press your hand en-
the lemon, and roll it back and forth
briskly on the table to make it squeeze
more easily; then press the Juice into q
bowl or tumbler-never into tin; strain
out all the seeds, as they give a bad
taste. Remove all the pulp from the
peels aud boil in water-a pint to a
dozen pulps-to extract the acids. A
few minutes boiling Is enough, then
strain the water with the juice of the
lemons; put pound of white sugar to
a pint Of Juice; boil ten minutes; b title
1t, and your lemonade is ready. Put
or two of this lemon syrup
in glass OF water, and you have a cool
ing, healthful drink.

Washington Chronicle, July 2Ist.l


Yesterday We were called upon by q
gray bearded, silvery- h. aired map, tall
and hearty looking, whose appearance
Ct Orca suggested Joe Jeffers 0n's Rip
Van Wrinkle, or what one would term q
hermit Of the mountains. After brief
conversation with the visitor, it was q
surprise to find that standing before us
was the veteran printer, w. A. KeiI,
whose travels and wOrdeiful history
has been So, ken OF in the papers
throughout the country. He is
a typo Of ammo domini 1900, and
is now on o return tramp from st. Louis
to New York. When he started on this
tramp he left New York, went to st.
Louis, thence to Memphis, Vicksburg,
New Orleans, Mobile, Montgomery, At
'anta, Macon, Savannah, Wilmington,
Norfolk, Peters burg, Richmond and
Alexandria to this city, which he leaves
to-day for Baltimore, going thence to
Philadelphia, where he will do the Cen.
tennial, then proceed on his walk to
New York, where his trampjng in this
country will end, and ne will take
steamer for his home in Europe. Mr..
Keil wss born in TromsjOe, Norway,
April 8, 1900, and is now over seventy
Fix years Of sge. Ia 1913 he entered his
fathers office as "devil," and remained
there five yesIs. He then started on his
travels through Switzerland, Hungary
and Austria, thenca to America, visiting
all the cities on his route, and working
at various offices. When the war of the
rebellion in this country broke out he
entered the Union army at the age Of
sixty-one years, and fought bravely I'M
til peace was proclaimed once moe. He
then started on his travels again and
Continued until stricken with dropsy, at
st. Louis, where he was confined to the
hospital for six months. Upon his re-
cOvery his physicians advised him to
travel as much on foot as possible, and
he set out again. 10 1868 he celebrated
his semi.centeEnisl jubilee, and was
congratulated by the press generally.
His present state OF health Is excellent,
and he says that he expects to live to be
as old as his mother, who died at the
advanced sge of one hundred and ten
years. We tender him our best wishes,
and trust that the remainder of his jour-
ney will be pleasant and that he may
reach his home in Europe in perfect
health,

THE mORTUARY REPORTS.

Many northern people believe there is
q malaria in the south distilling disease
and death. We have business men in
Memphis who are constantly signing
for the health of New York, when
the mortality bills show that the
city of New York is one Of the sick
lest places in the world. The Herald,
few days since, published facts which
are astounding, showing the health OF
the American metropolis. In Paris,
which is twice as large as New York, In
a humid climate and on g plain, the
death rate is 22.4. London, it is nearly
four times as large as New York. 1t is
q city densely populated, with every
form of misery and want, and its death
rate is 176. In New York the death
rate for the week ending July eighth,
was AZ IS. In other words, nearly three
times as many die in New York as in
London. Nor can this be attributed to
the general unheslthiness Of the coun-
try. II we 90 east-tO BostOn-we find
the rate is 2463, showing that New EGG
land is as healthy as France. five go
west, we find the rate at ST. Louis 26 80,
which shows that the generally mala-
rious valley Of the Mississippi is much
healthier than New York. II we go
south, we find thst Charleston, in low
country also, and near the rice and cot
ton lands. which are famous for mala-
ria, has only rate of 26 SIS. This NOR
tality is largely among the children. In
twenty-five days in New York city,
over two thousand children, under FIVE
years, have been buried, and the report
says: "The direct cause Of their death
is cholera infantum, caused by the ex-
IRENE heat aud want Of proper diet and
fresh air.

toms management snd skill. Gov
ernor Lewis, under his reign, paid for
books, papers, pencils and writing ma
terisl, the sum Of So 7SS y. Governor
Houston mas expended S944 SIS, saving
the taxpayers in this matter 81 7i3 62,
enough to furnish every man IN the
state with a stock OF writing material.
Governor Lewis paid out OF what is
known So the contingent fund, 3d.
600 IA. Governor Houston, with his
great ability to finsneier and econo-
mjzs. made out TO run through the hs-
cal year on $50 IS. Here you see Slo,-
$40 10 left in the treasury to show the
difference between prOdigality on the
one hand, with the peoples money, and
old.fashioned, old-time honest economy
on the other. Governor Lewis had a.
lowed him for expenses to New York
and elsewhere, beside his regular sails
~, to cell bonds which ought never TO
have been Issued, the -um Of S2iS5
Governor Houston, TO uudO or adj
inst what Governor Lewis
did in New York, sent an agent in the
person Of General Lawler, at 8 cost Of
1886. Governor Lewis paid his record
ing secretary, who was drawing q regu-
lar salary, S2lOO to look after that lover
flowed bacon" Governor Lewis paid
n. II. Rice, then secretary Of State, on
a regular salary, 1852 for affixing
1872 seals to bonds. Colonel Boyd, secre-
tarv of State under Governor Houston,
has affixed, aud will affix, lO,596 seals
to bonds, and has never thought he
should have extra compensation for It.
He regards # as in the line Of his duty
and a part OF his business. Governor
Lewis paid Treasurer Bingham Sl4lO for
travelling around and around. colonel
Crawford, the present treasurer, has
never charged dime for any SUCH trips
Governor Houston's administration VIII
save 81 coo in abolishiDg supe1huous
Offices and reducing the clerkships In
the various departments. as follows:
Superintendet of industrial resources
$500, his clerk $1,000; lieutenant-gOv-
ernor, $500; superintendent OF educa-
lion, one clerk less, $500; supreme
court, one clerk less, $500; auditor, one
clerk less, $500; secretary OF State,
one clerk less, $500. The current
expenses of running the State govern
mept have been reduced $40, GOO under
the wise and prudent guidance Of Gov
ernor Houston. When Governor Hous-
ton went into Office the State owed $780,
100000. The debt of the state by the
economy and reform Of Democratic rule
has been reduced to less than $4,000,
900. The came results have followed
Democratic reform in Virginia, Georgia
and Tennessee. In few months after
the Democrats sscended to power in
Mississippi, honesty and reform was in
augurated in every department Of the
State government. We have not the
figures, but presume the reform has been
as great as in Alabama, as taxes have
been reduced nearly one-half, The
change from Radical to Democratic rule
in Arkansas has been equally as salts
tory TO the people. Governor TiIden
succeeded a Republican governor OF
New York, and he at once set about the
work Of reform and ia one year ne re-
duced the expense Of the State govern
ment to nearly one-hah. These facts
carry their own com ment; words can
not add to their force.

Au American Tribute to English Poets.

From the London Leisure Hour.
The name of an American citizen hon.
orably appears Ia Westminster Abbey in
this centennial year o.: independence.
The first chapel or bay in the nave, on
the right in entering by the great west
door, contains mOnU nents of Words

is sometimes called "Western Poets
Corner" Dean Stanley, in his restors-
tons Of the Abbey, proposed to place
here a memorial window in honor Of
three poets, who had ail bean old West
minister boys, George Herbert, Charles
Wesley, and William COwper. The
erection o; monument 70 John and
Charles Wesley in another part of the
nave confined the memorial to Herbert
and CowpeT. Circulars were issued ask.
ing funds for the proposed window. One
ofthese circulars came into the hands of
George William Childs, OF Philadelphia,
who generously offered to he al the sole
expense of the memorial, as q tribute of
respect from an American to these Chris.

was accepted in the spirit in which it

RADICAL AND DEnOCRAr1C RULE.

Corruption, proAigscy and extrsva-
gauce follow Radical rule just IS nstu.
rally as an impure stream flows from an
unclean fountain. Reform, retrench-
naeat and honesty have invariably fol-
lowed the rule Of Democracy in the
southern States. The figures demon
straie this fact. The State elections
take place in Alabama one week
from tomorrow. The canvass Is
very animated. Governor Houston is. a
candidate for reelection, and If he
should be defeated, honesty and reform
is at a discount, and corruption and ex'
,rsvsgance are passports to Office iu
