We see it stated that Senator
Bailey urged the confirmation of
Horace Maynard rs Postmaster
General in executive session few
days ago, while VOORHEES,, of Indi-
ana, did his best to defeat it be-
cause of the extreme hatred Mayn-
ard entertained toward the people
of his adopted state, and which he
never loses the opportunity to ex-
hibit. Senator Bailey has certain
ly misrepresented the wishes of his
constituency in this matter and
Mr.. VOORHEES, deserves our thanks
for opposing Mr.. Maynard's con
firmation. The people of Tennes-
see have about as much fondness
for a rattlesnake as they have for
Horace Maynard. 1t looks rather
bad, however, that the people Of
Tennessee should be Yindicated
by the representatives of other
States than their own. Mr.. Bal
ley is a good man, but there is
such a thing as being rather too
forbearing and in dealing with
this matter we think it the duty OF
a Senator rather to express the sen
ttments and wishes of his fellow
citizens than folloS the dictates OF
his own heart. Maybe be is eight,

when he found her for a moment
alone, show long is this to lastY

she said, coldly.
"But Mamie"
"Well, if you are not pleased with

not to blame. You must excuse
me now, Mr.. Ray, l am going to

And with q graceful gesture of

That afternoon Lennox walked,
unannounced, into Laura's room.

good-by before you went down

he.

Laura lett the room, and Lennox
stood moodily at the window.
Very soon Mamie came in and
stood near him.
"Are you really going awayS"
she asked.
"Yes l am" was the short an,
swer.
"And won't tell us whereY'

Then she slipped her hand in his
arm, with the old caressing move

spoke gently, using his name for
the first time since he came.
"But Lennox, dear, il you 90

He turned suddenly and caught
heI to his heart.
ooh, Mamie, MANNER no cried
passionately, "if you would only
come back to me and love me-if i
could recover my lost treasure
would not go anywhere. Oh, my
lost love, Is 1t too later"
She laid her face down against
his shoulder and asked:
"Lennox, dear, Tell me which you
love the best, the Mamie you used
to know or the fashionable young
lady you found hereY

"Then you will have to take your

A statesman.s NIistaIse.

From the Washington Capital.
1t never does to be too inquisi-
tive; it never works to be too prac
tically argumentative investigating
the actuality of hypothesis. There
are two gentlemen of the House
who should learn this fact. The
one is Omar Conger and the other
the Hon. Mr.. Atkins, of Tennessee.
These two members seem to be
united with the idea that a Divine
Providence created them for the fun
of the thing, just 10 watch how they
would antagonize in affairs of state,
Whenever Atkins arises to speak
on any question the dyspeptic fog
horn from Michigan toots In his
mouth, and the oracular odor is Of
fensive. Whenever Conger attempts
anything on the floor of congress
Atkins has a complaint TO enter,
and a verbal quarrel is sure 70 re-
suit.
But this is not what we were
thinking about; it was another mat
ter, and one, as wo started out 10
say, Of warning against a too in
quisitive nature.
One evening last week, we are in
formed, las Atkins was walking down
the avenue from the national jaw
shop, yclept tue capitol, and medi'
tating on the affairs OF the nation,
be saw one OF those black, shaggy
dog signs reclining in front of a
hardware store. Some ill-bred de
mon Of thought invested him with
the curiosity 10 discover whether
the dog was solid or hollow
whether made OF iron or painted
wood. SO he stepped up TO it and
kicked IL on its side 10 satisfy the
yearnings OF bis inquisi:ive soul.
The dog was neither iron nor wood,
nor hollow nor solid; ~ was one OF
the genuine article, enjoy ing a quiet
rest on an unoccupied entrance
way, and when it felt the vibration
from a number nine shoe appended
to congressional leg, the thoughts
of the legislative wrongs done the
happy land OF canine, and the GER
tainty that never would SO fine a
chance TO feed on Tennessee flesh
again present itself, flashed before
him, and he lit into the calf Of At
kins briefly, but vigorously, and
disappeared around the corner,
without even leaving his card.
The gentleman from the Tonnes
see district sat down an6 swore. IL
hydrophobia sets in we trust his
first act will be TO bite Conger, and
then let the two start in together In
a go-as.you-piease chewdng-up trial
OF jaw bone power on the rest Of
congress.

Courier Journal.
Mr.. Hoar said in his speech
Wednesday that tile mission of the
Republican party would not termi-
nate until every man had happy
home. This gives the party of
fraud a long term, for no political
organization at present existing. or
that will exist, can give every man
a happy home. A happy home is
the result of individual disposition
and exertion, and not the product
of The political machine. During
the entire term of the dominancy OF
the republican party, the principles
Of that organization have done lit
tie but make unhappy homes.

The political situation in Ten

who are puzzled to know what will

piled, "I tink so too.''

In a card published in the Co

Burke Bond announced himself a

Athens [Tenn.l Post.
The country has been preparing
to welcome to power a Democratic
President, ana it only remains to
be seen whether wisdom shall
prevail in party councils among
party leaders to keep the ball roll
ing in the direction of triumph.
If there be harmony and concert
of action there is no doubt of vic
tory; but if the same old selfish
chickering's shall characterize the
management, we do not hesitate to
say we shall be defeated.

Humboldt (Tenn. Argus: Thurs
day night thieves chloroformed the
proprietor of the City Hotel, and
robbed him of all money on hand
the exact amount is not known.
Mr.. Butler, the proprietor, awoke
before the thieves left, and a gen
uine Indian hug and knock-down
occurred. But they got the best of
the old man, and made good their
escape. We ought to brag on our
police, as this is about the fiftieth
robbery in the last two weeks.

A Good Sign.

Athens (Tenn.) Post.
While the newspapers and poll
ticians are reviling and abusing
each other, the masses are at home,
in their workshops and fields, in
dustriously pursuing their respec-

caring much whether school keeps
or not. This last we regard as a
good sign, and suspicious of a so
Der, sensible canvass and an intel
ligent and patriotic result.

As these societies multiplied 1t
was found the annual meeting did
not benefit the associations mostly
in need of its help. So each state
began to call conventions and thus
place within reach the advantages
of such practical instruction as
might be gained from these meet

effort has been that conventions
have been held in almost every i'm
