IT was the quietest bolt ever known.
and consisted Of mild protest with
out other outward indications Of
desire to slough off or drop out. A
number of the delegates who arrived
home yesterday say the first they
knew of any rupture or split, was
when they heard of the meeting to be
held the next day by the boilers. They
had quietly slipped out unbeknown TO
the mass Of the convention, and many
of their own friends and adherents
didn't know it. Among others who act,
ed with the convention to the last was
DR.. r. L. G. White, of the Lebanon
Herald. He afterwards became an
enthusiastic bolter, and said he would
have been one of the first to quit had
he known his sympathizing brethren
had. They did it, however, SC
quietly that he stuck it out to the end
and voted for the nomination of Gen.
Bate. Let it be hoped that he will
vote for him again, when the election
comes of.

The Baby Had It's Fathers COM
pleXiOn,

Mr.. Blanket sat looking at the baby
with a wistful, far. off look in his eyes,
trying to think Of the usual idiotie
unmeaning and unmeant things that
people say about new babies, and at
last, in q spasm of originality, re-
marked that "the baby had its fathers
complexion"
Then all sat aud looked at the rich
cardinal hues that made the wrinkled
countenance OF the unconscious infant
glow like mountain sunset, and no.
body said any thing until a feeble voice
from an adjoining room said:
1T was a good thing that the baby
had it naturally, then, as it required
about fifteen years steady practice,
aud the cooperation of three scien
tiAc clubs and five political campaigns
to acquire it.
Then a sad, quiet smile stole over
the room again, only broken by the
hard breathing of the baby's father
looding at the thermometer to see
what time it was, while Mr.. Blanket
feeling that he could add nothing to
what had already been said, stole down
the stairs, softly whispering to him
self about some fool, but the company
couldn't catch the name, and thc
company didn't know whom he meant

The ordinance passed some time ago

drawn that no attempt has
been made to enforce it, nor
as far as suffering citizens

stock off the streets, and they are en-

here to abandon the old GROSS roads

Ahranoinr Freight Rntes.

Commissioner Albert Fink yester.
day issued the new schedule of west
bound freight rates which it was de-
cided to put into effect a short time
ago. Its issue has been delayed by
the temporary inability of the trunk
lines to agree upon the rates. The
rates as now fixed, to take effect on
July |, are as follows: First class,
sixty cents per 100 pounds, against
forty five cents, the old tariff second
class, fifty cents, against thirty-twO;
third class, forty, against twenty-sixI
fourth class, thirty, against nineteen
cents. A special class, including
sugar, molasses and syrup, has been
created, with q rate of twenty-five
cents per 100 pounds. The present
actual rates are on the basis OF thirty
cents per 100 pounds for first GLASS.
They are secured by contracts which
run until July l. 1t is claimed that
noue of the roads have renewed their
old contracts or made new ones. 1t is
also asserted that the new rates will be
maintained, as the railroad war which
led to the heavy reductions Of last
year in rates being ended, the moYa fol-
carving the traffic at less than cost
has been removed Some shippers
are confident, however, that conces'
sions will ere long be obtained from

General Bates Acceptance.
Special to the Courier-Journal.


NASHVILLE, June %. - General
Bate was captured by a committee OF
the convention in the wee small hours
ayant the twae this morning, and in.
formed of his nomination, and carried
bodily into the hall, where his pres
ence was greeted with every demon
stration Of enthusiasm. Indeed, his
reception attested the hold he has on
the hearts and affections, not only Of
the citizens of Nashville, but upon
the people of every portion of the
State. There is something in the life
Of the camp,in the common endurance
Of the hazards and tolls of war,
which binds men together with the
ties Of fraternity. General Bate was
a soldier, not only during the late
great struggle, but also of the Mexi-
can war, and is personally endeared
to thousands throughout the State
who were his companions in arms.
There are times when men fortunately
override difficulties by the confidence
the people have in their fidelity and
good sense. No one who witnessed the
joyous enthusiasm with which the
nomination Of General Bate was
hailed in this city, and conspicuously
by the State credit element, could
have failed to be convinced that the
convention had cut the Gordian knot
and solved the difficulty between the
opposing factions. There is no good
reason why any Democrat in Tennes-
see should refuse to support General
VIM. B. Bate, who has at all times
been at the party's service and the
chevalier always in the thickeSt of the

The subject of food adulteration
opens up an infinite field of discussion,
and there is much to be said for and
aga nst it. ITh utt ,ile 'aotoryin this
city, which has just decls ed a divi-
dend of ten per cent, reveals tue fact
that an extensive business has been
carried on the past year in the manu-
iacture and sale of an imitation of
butter; but while butterine cannot be
called an adulterated article of food,
nevertheless there can be no doubt
that thousands of people are daily
buying the article under the impres.
sion that it is genuine butter. And
in this connection we will say that
from practical knowledge of the mode
of manufacture, we would infinitely
prefer oleomargerine to rancid butter,
and will readily concede its superior
healthfulness and yet the business
although the company sells its product
as butterine-supplies the retailer
with means of deception, and practi-
cally results in giving to the consum-
er, perhaps in majority of instances,
that which he did not buy.

The richest treasure a man ever gets
in this world is a good wife. The poor.
est investment he ever makes Is a poor
wife, no matter how much money she
has. Marriage is a transaction which
should be removed as far as possible
from the moneyed value of either par
ty. The happiest homes everywhere
have been bought and paid for by the
mutual earnings after marriage. Moth
ing is truer than that the good wife in
the home is as surely a money Garner as
the husband who tolls with hand or
brain. The best motto of every young
man or woman is, "Marry for love and
work for riches" 1t may be an old
fogy idea, but millions of homes will
bear testimony to its truthfulness.

A NEW CATTLE COUNTRY.

A little more than one-third Of all
Colorado lies westward of the crest of
the Rocky mountains. 1t is to some
extent an unknown, an u~uexplored
country. 1t has not yet been surveyed
even, since until lately 1t was the great
Ute Indian reserve. Here 10000 Indi-
ans have roamed and lived since a time
history knows not Of. As early rs 1912
Gov. Gilpin travelled up Grand river
and across the White river country, and
there found Indians in large numbers
along those valleys. They knew not
the use Of firearms, but they treated
him kindly. The governors remem-
brance of the country away to the AK
treme southwest of Colorado is that it
is the finest grazing region he has ever
seen. The rivers and small streams all
run to the southwest, aud the SHOWS
seldom lay many days. Grasses upon
the foothills are green at their roots the
twelve months in the year. The larger
number of the mountains are not abrupt
like those this side the great divide, but
are covered with bunch and gramma
grass even to the tops. Water of the
purest kind is very abundant in the
many rivers and streams, and in the
thousands of springs that burst out
everywhere along the mountain sides.
Here is a country bigger than all
New England, with New Jersey and
Delaware thrown in, and yet ~unoccupied
by white men, except in a few isolated
places. Here is grazing sufficient to
sustain millions of cattle and sheep for
all time to come. Their lands have
been purchased, and many of the Indi-
ans are gone. The government will
soon survey tue country and place 1t in
the market for homestead pre-emption
settlement. Ere many years have
rolled along Denver will rely upon the
Grande, the White and the Blue rivers
for its supply of beef.
Mr.. George Thompson and several
others of the stockmen of the south,
have gone into this country to select
locations, and from present indications
a million Of neat cattle will be grazing
in these valleys before the SHOWS of next
November. The Denver & Rio Grande
road, when its connection with Utah is
accomplished, will make access to this
new Eldorado easy and rapid at all sea
sons of the year. The White River
agency, where poor Meeker was massa-
cred, may yet become a fourishing city
of retired cattle kings.-Denver Times.
