Passing Away.

Life is changing daily. The
teachers of this truth are many
We hardly begin to live ere it is
time to die. We may read it in the
falling leaf. The shadow is but a
picture of life. Every time the
heart beats it says passing away"
Somebody dies, and somebody is
born to fill their place every time
your heart beats. Every pain in
the body reminds US chat we are
passing away. Life is uncertain
but death, sooner or later is sure.
1t is only question of time how
long we shall pitch our tents in this
wilderness. The dew drops spar
kle like diamonds, but the sun soon
spoils their beauty. Above US the
flying clouds proclaim the message,
passing away" and beneath our
feet the withered grass and fading
flowers tell us the same story
Around us the whistling wind tells
US we are mortal, as it shakes our
frail frames, and within US a small
still voice confirms the testimony.
With SO many evidences of hu-
man frailty how could an attentive
observer be ignorant Of the fact
that man, at his best, is altogether
VANITY? Verify, sin the midst of
life we are in DEATH" for we see
young and old falling before the
reaper's glistening sickle. With
numberless ailments and accidents
to hurry mortals to the tomb, it Is
marvel that more do not die I'M
der the age of maturity. We are
all marching on to the great battle
field of death as fast as the swift
footed steed of time can carry US.
We see it every time we breathe,
that we must return to dust, and
mingle with our parent earth
Even the immovable mountains
must pass away as well as man
himself. Things of time are ever
changing, while things of eternity
are Interchangeable. May our pass
ing away be like that of the setting
sun in a cloudless sky-calm but
beautiful,

Senator Hills. Views.

Senator Ben Hill of Georgia was
in Atlanta last week, to participate
as counsel in a law case, and while
there a reporter for the Constitu-
ton had talk with him upon the
present political situation. Mr.. Hill
takes a hopeful view of matters
from a Democratic standpoint, as
will be seen from the following:
"My candid opinion is that they
(the Republicans have not the
slightest chance to win. They will
not succeed. The people are
brought face to face with an essen
tial question in free government.
1t is'whether the will of the people
shall make government, or whether
force shall create, maintain and per-
form the functions of government
in this republican system. The
Democracy goes before the country
upon higher and broader platform
of popular rights and popular lib
erty than did Thomas Jefferson in
1900. The question is between
force and freedom, fraud and jus
tice, Capitalization and colstitu-
tional government. l believe that
upon those issues the Democracy
will sweep the country, carrying
with it a majority of the North
itself"
In reply to the question as TO
what he thought of the Presidents
purpose in taking a stand against
the proposed legislation, repeating
partisan election laws, Mr.. Hill
said:
"Why, he has gone over, soul and
body, to the radical side of his par
ty. He has most unquestionably
gone back on himself and is now
controlled by the very worst ele-
ment of his party. Winning him
over to their schemes was the great
triumph they had to gain, for with
out his co operation all they did
was emptiness. They had to have
him, and it is said that he was even
told that to join with them would
be to solidify the party, identify
him as its great leader and make
him the party candidate of next
year. You see he held the stakes
in his own hand. He could dictate
terms and the party could afford to
promise anything for success, since
without him that success would be
impossible. 1t is said that he has
been promised reelection, and that
he has Joined the rabId leaders in
their schemes with a view to that
result"
Senator Hill is doubtless per-
fectly correct in his opinion regard
ing the motives that have prompted
Mr.. Hayes to veto the bills repeal.
ing Radical election measures. 1t
is natural that he should want to
be his own successor, and it would
unquestionably be very gratifying
to him to have his present admins
tration endorsed by a majority Of
the qualified voter IT the country

The South's Hopeful Future.

Boston Herald: A matter of'great
interest to New England, and
vital Importance to the South, is
the rapid increase of cotton mills
in the States south of the Potomac.
North Carolina has fifty mills, and
and in all there are reported one
hundred and eighty three erected
since the war in the cotton growing
States. This is the opportunity of
the South. Let the principles of
economy be observed in the State
and municipal government; let cap
italists be assured that they will
not be burdenod by enormous
taxes; let law and order prevail as
in New England, and there is no
reason why the region where cot
ton grows at the factory door,
where rivers turn the mill wheels,
and the adjacent fields furnish the
operatives with the staff of life, can
not compete successfully with the
territory east of the Hudson, which
brings its cotton q thousand miles
for manufacture, buys its fuel five
hundred miles away, and transports
the food of its laborers half way
across the continent. The outlook
in the Southern States is hopeful,
and they must nave a great future
before them.

Mr.. Hayes Third Veto.

The President Of the United
States impertinently lectures Con
gress for not obeying the command
contained in the veto messages l
and 2. This is unparalleled inso
lence. The use of the veto is his
privilege. To lecture the represen-
tatives of the people upon their
view Of their duties is a piece Of
afrontery of which OILY a week,
obstinate man, in the hands Of a
cabal of designing politicians, could
have been guilty. The statement
that the Democrats have determin-
ed to withhold the appropriations
is absurd. The Democrats have
never indicated any such intention,
and Mr.. Hayes is simply guilty Of
prostituting his position to write a
campaign document for the leaders,
who hold him by the collar.
The objections TO the repeal OF
the Deputy Marshals laws, and 10
all power to make arrests, are said
by the President to be, that the re-
peal will deprive the United States
OF all power Of authority over cleo
tions. This is not fairly stated,
and is not the ground of objection
to these laws. IL prevents a parti
san control under color Of Federal
authority. 1t is necessary TO pro
vide that there shall be no power

Causes of Sudden Death.

Very few of the sudden deaths
which are said to arise from dis
eases of the heart do really arise
from that cause. To ascertain the
real origin of sudden deaths, exper-
iments have been tried in Europe
and reported to a scientific con-
gress held at Strasbourg, Sixty
six cases of sudden death were
made the subject of a thorough
post-mortem examination. In these
only two were found who had died
from disease of the heart. Nine
out of sixty-six had died of apo
plexy, while there were forty-six
cases of congestion of the lungs
that is, the lungs were so full of
blood that they could not work,
there not being room enough for a
quantity of air to enter to support
life. The causes that produce con-
gestion of the lungs are cold feet,
tight clothing, costive bowels, sit
ting still, chilled after being warm
ed with labor or rapid walking,
going too suddenly from close,
heated rooms into the cold air, es-
pecially after speaking, and sudden
depressing news operating on the
blood. The causes of sudden
death being known, an avoidance
of them may serve to lengthen
many valuable lives which would
otherwise be lost under the verdict
"heart complaint" The disease is
supposed to be inevitable and in
durable: hence, many do not take
the pains they would do to avoid
sudden death, if they knew it lay in
their power.

THE CRISIS.
Northern congressman Held Respon-
sible for It, and Are Requested
to Take Charge Of Affairs.
Washington Special to N.Y.Timos, Rep

For some time past there has
been much dissatisfaction manifest
ed among the Southern Democrats
in Congress in relation to the tenor
and temper of the discussion upon
the political riders to the appropria-
ton bills. Many of them have
freely declared that the present po-
sltlon of the party upon the ques-
tions under discussion was coca
stoned by the Northern wing of the
party, and that, so far as the South
is concerned, all that twas demanded
was the repeal of the jurors test
oath, to which there is little objec
ton, while the Northern Democrats
insisted that the Federal election
laws and the laws authorizing the
use of troops at the polls should
also be repealed. Upon these last
two propositions only is the contest
made. The Southern men claim
that they care nothing for them.
and yet they say that they and their
section have to suffer all the odium
that attaches to the present Demo
cratic plan, while they are merely
acting as aids to the Northern Dem
ocratic leaders, who are mainly re-
sponsible.
The outcome of this feeling is a
move on the part of the Southern
Democrats to force their Northern
allies to come to the front and ac-
cept the responsibility for the pres
ent and future attitude of the party
upon these questions. To that end
a letter has been prepared, setting
forth the fact that, as the future
political battle-ground of the De
mocracy will be in the North, it is
best for the Democratic representa-
tives from that section to lay down
a line of policy to be pursued in the
contest upon these questions. They
also pledge themselves to follow the
advice of their Northern friends and
stand by any future plan of action
they may see fit to adopt. The
communication invites an inter
change of views, but distinctively
asserts that the responsibility for
the conclusions reached must rest
with the Northern Democrats. This
communication has already received
the sanction of a majority Of the
Southern Senators and members,
but it has not yet been presented to
the Northern Democratic leaders,
although they have been advised OF
its import and of the determination
of the Southern men to fix upon
them the responsibility for any fu.
ture contest that may be made upon
these political riders TO the appro
priation bills.
Mr.. Goode of Virginia is saiC
now to be in possession of this i'm
portant paper, and he is to deliver
1t to the Democratic caucus com
mittee as soon as it shall be called
together, and if it meets their APP
proval it will be signed by The
Southern representatives and form
ally presented to the caucus.
The Pulaski citizen. [volume] (Pulaski, Tenn.) 1866-current, 1879-06-12

But, as Senator Hill says, the Re-
publicans have not. the slightest
chance to win, unless they resort to
fraud and violence. 1t is evident
that the Republican leaders, who
hold the Federal purse and sword,
now seek to perpetuate their power
by the use of both. 1t is the last
desperate and wicked purpose of a
party defeated at the polls, and IN
clear minority, to maintain itself
against the popular will. 1t is this
instinct of self-preservatioA that in
spires the movement for Grant; it
is the same that inspired the last
veto. 1t is an infamous design to
use the United States forces at some
decisive point in 1880, so as to Sc
cure the election of a Republican
President. A baser crime against
free government and popular cleo
tions has never been contemplated
or conceived. 1t will not be sue
cessful # the councils of the Demo
cratic party are influenced by wis
dom and courage. and not by folly
and passion Nashville Banner.
