The following is comparative state
Discomfort and Duty.

A good many people spend all their
life hunting for place in this world
that they were never intended to fill.
They never settle down to anything
with any sort of restful or contented
feeling. What they are doing now is
not by any means the work that is suit
ed to their abilities. They have SUM-
ny ideal of a very noble life which they
would like to reach, in which their pow
ers would have free scope, and where
they could make very bright record.
But in their present position they can
not do much of anything, and there is
little use to try. Their life issa hum
drum and a prosy outline, and they can
accomplish nothing really worthy and
beautiful. So they go on Disconnected
with their own lot, and signing for an
other; and while they sigh the years
glide away, and soon they will come to
the end, to find that they have lost ev-
cry opportunity Of, doing anything wor-
thy of a rational being on the passage
to eternity. The truth is, ones voca-
ton is some far-off possibility. It is al
ways the simple round of duties that the
passing hour brings. No day is com
mon-place if We only had eyes to see its
splendor. There is no duty that comes
to our hand but brings US the possible
ty OF kindly service Elk.

THE FIFTY AND FOUR.
Some siSy-biue Tints Reflect
ed from 1873.

From the Chattanooga Democrat
1t is amusing to witness the wry faces
which those of the boilers are making
who attempt to escape from the predic-
ament in which their unwarrantable
course now places them when viewed
under the..electric light of their past rec
ord on the State debt question. In 1878,
after the 50-4 bill had passed the Legis-
lature, there is not man of them but
who urged upon the people the accept
ance of that basis of settlement, notwith-
standing the fact that that measure con-
templated the forcible adjustment of
more than half the debt-granting that
an offer of acceptance had come from
the number of creditors who at the time,
it was said, had .signiied their willing
ness to take that figure. At that time
it was perfectly right to make propo-
sal, scaling the debt to the bondholders.
There was nothing wrong about it then.
Now, however, the same men are howl
ing themselves hoarse with the baseless
cry of reputation, when the party of
fers to settle at figures that will be bet
ter for all concerned. They enter upon
a warfare against their party, alleging
their adherence to principle as mo-
tive cause, when an investigation dis
closes the fact that the last man of them
stood upon platform not whit more
honest than that which they have ar
rayed themselves They speak Justify
for State honor, and denounce Demo-
Gratis as regulators, when they them
selve are standing on platform that
must inevitably, should its provisions be
carried out, result in the reputation of
two-fifths of the entire debt. They ar
rogantly resume to be the only honest,
progressive men in the party, and for
no other reason than that they failed to
control the Goth of June convention in
behalf of their favorite leaders.
When they were for 50-4, they were
the State-credit men; when they were
for the do-nothing policy of John v.
Wright. they were the State-credit men;
when they were the supporters of the
1908 act, they were the State-credit
men; and now, adopting the trick set
for them by the Republicans, they are
also the State-credit men.
The fact of the business is, they are
mpractIcables; they are insurgents
without just cause, and they would not
have submitted to anything that the
party would have proposed.
In answer to these charges they point
to the sky-blue back ground and the
empty jug, and go on with their vain
glorious assumption of all that is true
and good. They have stood obdurate-I
ly upon each Of the several Platforms
which they have adopted, and with the |
same assurance which they now display,
claimed to be standing on the only hon.
est principles.
The fexibility of their principles is
only exceeded by their cheek" and
from present indications their strength
in the State will be evidenced by thel
smallest vote for RUSSELL that was ever
cast in the State at any time for can
didate for Governor.

Gen. r. B. Hood, of East Tennessee,
a member of the Boilers Executive
Committee for the State, and one of the
most influential supporters Of RUSSELL,
has written letter to Gen. w. h.
jackson, the Chairman. in which he
says: 81 am opposed to the Republican
party and its principles and anxious to
use any influence / may have to defeat
the Republican party After mature
deliberation 1 have concluded that my
action in supporting Mr.. RUSSELL for
Governor can only aid the Republican
party. / have, therefore, concluded to
support Gen. Bate for Governor, and
help in my humble way to restore the
Democratic party to its rightful power

We are happy to be able this week to
send to the Home Journal readers most
glorious news from the " Buckeye
State" Just think of Ohio going dem
ocratic by over 80. 1000, and gain, too,
of nine Congressman, besides Demo
cratic LegislaturelI Even Democrats
are surprised. Why, sirs, we
have come TO once more believe
in signs. Many years since we had to
abandon our happy belief that the
beautiful rainbow was an evidence that
the world would never be drowned
again. In fact, our reasoning influenced
us to- doubt if the world was ever
drowned and to regard as truth the as
sertion Of smart men that suoh thing
was impossible. Hence, We lost faith
in all signs, except the beautiful stars
the poetry of Heaven" (Which bespoke
to us the majesty Of God. But now our
lncredulous heart is drawn to believe
that the brilliant celestial phenomenon
of the East, commonly called comet.
is sign that the Republican party is
going to ruin-that the ''bloody shirt
talk which has kept it in power so long
is about played out, and that the Demo
cratic party, with Free Trade and a
Tariff for Revenue only" upon its ban
ner, will hereafter rule. The astrono-
mers tell US the comets nucleus has d.
vided into several parts. We think
one part has struck in Ohio. The other
pieces will strike in Indiana, New York
and Pennsylvania There is no mis-
take about the present political drift
the very comet indicates it. The comet
is not going to fall into the Gun and blot
the world from existence. 1t is sign
to Radical rule that it can rule no long
er-that the hatred engendered by the
war must cease and Democracy come in.
"Ring out the old, ring in the new;
Ring out the false, ring in the true"
And now let every true Democrat
gird on his armor, with hope afresh,
and see that Tennessee goes by %. 600
for Gen. YIN. B.. Bate for Governor.
