"That will cost you s2," said the

the stranger.
"Well, you can't go out of the store
until you pay Cor that glass" said the
storekeeper in determined voice.
"IIn sorry, but I'm willing to be

TIE Republicans in the Senate have
determined in caucus not to submit to
the reductions of salaries and expendi-
lures agreed upon in the House, except
such items as may suit them. This
means hat the country must still bleed
for the o~ficeholders and that the Office
holders must bleed for the party. Their
assessments next year for political pur'
poses will necessarily be large, and the
Republican party, which relies upon
money and strong political machinery
for success, is but providing for its per.
pstuity in opposing the economical
measures of a Democratic House Of
Representatives. The proposed reduc.
ton of the Presidents salary. it seems,
was not q party measure. 1t slipped
through somehow, but an effort will be
made to reconsider and kill it in the
Senate before the House has an oppOr-
tunity to pass the bill.

A laughable incident occurred at a
trial in o Justices court in this citv "a.
Gently. A trial was in progress, and
several important witnesses had been
examined at length; the trial had lasted
nearly ell day aud the case was about M
conclude, when one Of the counsel picked
up the book upon which the witnesses
had been sworn, in a careless manner
and, perhaps to refresh bis memory with
a bible text, opened it, when ts bis AZ.
constituent he found the book was an.
titled Tales and Novels" by Maria
Edgeworth. He Immediately arose and
announced the fact, to the consternation
Of the justice and tho amusement Of the
spectators. In consequences all the viii.
nesses had to be sworn and repeat their
testimony. One cause Of the mistake
was the close similarity Of the covers Of
the two books, and il is also limited that
it wal the work Of a waggish lawyer to
get a joke on the justice Lsrseg or
Journal.

TIE DOC AS A POLITICAL FACTOR.

TIE legislative in East Ten
nesses has virtually opened, as the aspi
rauts are at work and their claims pro-
fusely set forth in communications to
the country press. Nearly all the new
candidates expect to succeed by de-
nouncing the dog Law and the conven.
tional rate Of interest law. The dog
Law is the strong hold with the most Of.
them. An extraordinary effort will be
made to reduce the legal rate Of interest
back to six per cent. II this is accom-
plished we presume the next step will
be to pass a measure compelling men
who have money to lend it at six per
cent. without security. There should
also be a law raising the price of eggs SO
as to make the business profitable, and
reducing the price Of sugar and coffee
80 as to bring these accessories Of civil
cation within the reach Of everybody.
Upon q platform like this, and sufficiently
enlarged to hold q pair Of number
eleven brogans. we think some sterling
and unsel6sh patriots can get into the
Legislature next winter. The dog
owners can out-vote the sheep ~raisers,
and they will be appealed to to rise and
throw of the shackles hat Cypress
them. The thirty.fve Changers in the
last House nearly all voted for the Law,
aud It hiss been Endorsed repeatedly by
the Changers. and as recently as at the
Jackson State Grange meeting. The
no dog tax men have overlooked this
fact, but they will find it out in time to
put hay seed in their hair and Spanish
needles in their clothes and declare
themselves in hearty accord with the
objects Of that noble order. There is a
deal OF cheap, patriotic claptrap going
and yet to come. 1t is amusing some.
times to observe the means employe ed
to court popular favor and the low esti
mate often placed on the peoples intel
ligence. The Grange element is an
outgrowth Of the necessities of the
times, and since the advent Of tina.
order it is noticeable that the farming
classes take more papers than formerly
and as q general rule are remarkabl!
we'll posted upon the live questions o
the day. The average stump orator ha
lost much Of his power and f%ervency il
the presence of intelligentthinkinI
farmers, almost any Of whom coult
meet his fervent flow Of words viii
facts, and his d~emagoguery with thI
logic Of practical common sense. /
the people want the next Legislature Il
repeal or amend. dog laws they can sa.
30, but at the came time send ssnsibl
men who are capable Of grasping othe
questions. The great question to crap
pie will be the State debt. This will re
quire men Of thought, experience an,
well-balanced minds. Tennessee canno
let another year 60 by without snnOun
ing a policy. The last State platform
was meaningless in some points that vii
have 10 be made clear.

His whole method founded itself upon
the child's nature. A child is social.

Here is work for a child, not against
the grain, but with it; not in violation of
Gods law il the child's nature, but in
loving obedience to it. Instead Of pun.
ishing the lad who makes pictures upon
his slate, the loving Kindergarten mas
ter puts him to making pictures, and
gently shows him how to produce with
his fingers the pictures that float in bis
brains. Instead of rebuking his curios
ity and constructiveness, the Keilhau
schoolmaster Jokes them to his purpose.
Instead Of checking the child's sweetest
impulse-the impulse to play-he con-
socrates it. Jean Paul has said: "Plsy
is the child's first poetry" It was a
wise and poetic saying Of a poet. But
Froebel was not q poet, bat a school
master and philosopher. he went
deeper. and said the supreme word
about play when be called It " the FIRST
work Of childhood" 1t is the child's
chief business. Use play to serve the
ends Of education you may, but to do
away with it is the objectionable sin Of
the prevalent method Of tesohing,-E

HOW ELEcr1oHs ARE WON.

The Radicals did their work in New
Hampshire rather too well and are now
engaged in explaining away or toninq
down their unexpected majority. Many
columns in their papers are taken up in
explaining howthey happened toincresse
their vote 80 much, taking pains at the
same time to deny explicitly that money
or corrupt mean we're used by the party
They profess to know just how much
money was sent into the State for politi-
cal purposes, and say that it was not
enough to defray the ordinary expenses
of the campaign. This is an Indirect
admission that funds are raised at Wash
ington to carry elections in distant
States. The New Hampshire Demo.
Gratis have no such resources, and are
obliged to pay for the music ~when4hey
have any. A correspondent Of the New
York Times (Rep J, writing from Con.
cord, says:
There we're many speakers from other
States in New Hampshire during the
