The SOuthern CuItiyator.

We have received the June number I
the Southern Cultivator and Dixie Farm
er, and as usual it is full OF interesting
reading matter for farmers and their
families. A comparison OF this sterling
journal with similar publications.
north and south, shows decidedly in ia
vor of the Cultivator and Farmer. In
quantity the latter has about one-half
more than any other and every article
bears the impress of care in selection or
thought in preparation. Every number
OF the Cultivator has letter from Bill
Arp, prepared exclusively Tor it. Special
attention is given to the interests OF
"Patrons OF Hnsbandry," the secretary
of the State Grange being employed to
write in the interest of that order. Our
opinion is that ifthe Cultivator finds its
way into the farmers home, it will al
ways be a welcomed visitor.

sum of $3.50 per annum.

Lieut.. Danenhower tells an Incl
dent of his Arctic experiences,
which is printed in the Washington
Critic. He says: after the sink
ing of the vessel we landed, as you
know, ON the Siberian coast. After
proceeding some distance inland we
met some of the native Indians
whom we found, to our surprise, to
be Christians and Roman Catholics.
After eating, they crossed them
selves, shook hands and said, 'Pashee
Bah They also showed us their
crosses, which they kissed, and 1
was very glad to have in my possess
ion a certain talisman (the Lieuten-
ant meant a miraculous medal of
the Blessed Virgin which had been
sent me by Catholic friend in San
Francisco, with the message that it
had been blessed by priest and 1
would be sure to be safe if wore it.
! did not have much faith in this,
however, but when ] showed it to
the natives they kissed it devoqtly.
1t was the only article in the posses
sion of the party, indeed, that indi-
Gated to the natives that we were
christians. You can imagine our
feelings at meeting these people, for
they were the first strangers whom
we had seen for more than two years,
and 1 never before felt so thankful
to missionaries as did on that day
at finding that we we're among
christian natives"

The Louisville Courier Journal
remarks upon the fact that all the
horrible abuse of Chalmers which
has for some years appeared in re
publican papers has suddenly
ceased, and asks, rs Chalmers

mo; he has only declared himself
an independent anti democratic
candidate for congress in Missis
sippi." In a few weeks it will be
observed that the republican organs
believe Chalmers, the Bourbon the

What Protestant Girls Think
of Convent Schools.


To the World.
Prejudices in religion, like in
politics, are often family heirlooms,
and the getting out of the ruts en-
mobiles the individual in the end.
The enclosed slip from a protestant
source is a sermon in itself for the
divine who preached the subject of
convent schools in the recent con-
ference of the NJ. E. Church, South /:
A writer in Quiz, Philadelphia S
Society paper" is responsible for
this:
Take a child born of protestant
parents of any sect of the church,
who has heard, as most children
reared in the protestant faith have
heard, the objections and iniquities,
so-called, of the Catholic Church, it's
teaching, its converts, Its women
and after hearing this opinion of
Catholicism, let that child be put at
school or academy, or a convent,
taught by a sisterhood of the Catho
lie church, for six months, or even
three, and you will find, if she is in
telligent and truthful, that her faith
in the wisdom and purity of pro
testant teaching las antagonistic to
Catholic) will receive a great shock,
or be shattered altogether; because
it will become evident to her that
the Catholic sisterhood, which she
has heard are community of weak,
foolish women, whose life is made
up of unmeaning prayer and ridicu-
lous penance, are, instead, living,
working example of what protest
antism aims to teach-faith and
works, and following of Christ as
a model; she knows the dungeon
stories are false, that the inmates
of the convent are not unhappy, be-
cause, in this country, at least, no
catholic who does not prefer Sc
questared life, enters a convent; or
if, after she has entered one, she |
finds that ''she has mistaken her vo-
cation" she informs her spiritual
and returns to the world and
to her home, and marries or not, as
she pleases.
Any protestant girl who has been
at convent school can tell of her
own convent experience of a young
zealot who insists upon a trial of
herself as a novice who enters the
convent, and stays perhaps a week,
and then returns to her home be-
cause the life does not suit her
this girl can re1ute Of her own
knowledge the stories of ':eoaxing

The convention will be OF democrats
not high takers or low takers. II sue
cess is to follow, do not adopt any ultra
measure. High takers should not at
tempt to cram the convention with COG,
or low-taxers should not attempt to
make it swallow submission. If the
high-taxers prevail with 60-6,-a split
and a bolt. II low takers adopt sub
mission bolt and split. Don't do
either. Name your figure, put it in
the platform and let the people vote for
or against representatives to carry it
out. That is the proper way to submit
qaestions-the old, tried democratic
way. To foist in another method at
this critical juncture will precipitate a
split.

Educate Men for Statesmen.
1t is just beginning to dawn upon
the country that craftsmanship is IN q
deplorable state of degeneracy. New
England that used to constitute one
third of the government, both in
strength and craftsmanship, has gone
back to the twelveth. The south that
before the war grew giants in politics
and intellectual ponderosisy is ruled by
tdemagogs and real ability such as
used to be her browning glory in I'M
recognized Il it exists. The west never
had any particularly great men and she
holds her own There are no Jeffersons
or Calhouns or Clays or Websters or
Jacksons. The reason of it is in the
carelessness of the people in selecting
officials, until mediocritY is all that is
demanded. The machinery of elections
is managed by trieksters and every
thing is run for the profit and grab
there is in it, and the machine is in the
hands of the demagogs and tricksters
and they manage it from year to year,
and by device and promises of patron
age and chicanery and bribery they sue
coed themselves in Office and turn it
over to others in the ring. All for
profit and for the glory that profit
secures, but naught for patriotism
This is the rule and the result has been
degeneration and dishonesty. 1t is get
ting worse. Can we stop it? Can we
recall the glory and excellence of the |
golden days of the republic when men |
served their country for the same reason
they served their God-for its glory and |
advancement and because they owed it
allegiance and it was right to give to
its service the best of their lives?
There is one improvement we may
make. We can educate men for those
luties. We have been picking ap our
officials here and there, swapping at
each election and turning a man out as
soon as he had learned his duties
Rotation in office" is sham and

helped them to achieve.
The reform could commence right in
Giles county. Let the people select a
good, honest, educated, strong, de-
ermined, patriotic YOUNG MAN and send
him to the legislature and KEEP HIM
THERE, so that he may grow up in the
harness and keep up with the peoples

The president of the United
States is the magistrate-in-chief of
the United States. In legislative
pnYer he is equivalent to one-siXth
of The Legislative power OF the
government, and by the veto power
that has been given him by the
constitution he is equivalent to
twelve senators and fifty representa-
tives. This, with his large appoint
ing power, makes him the grandest
and greatest officer of this or per
haps any country.

The stone that the builders rejected is
now become the chief corner stone OF
the temple. Blaine's foreign policy,
enunciated so clearly and properly, was
made the pretext of his removal, and
then his enemies Matched up an investi-
CATION and brought out Shipherd to lie
on him and smirch him, but it all failed.
And now comes Frelinghuysen and re-
iterates Blaine's foreign policy, deny
ing the right.of Great Britain to estab-
lish protectorate over the Panama
Canal, asserting the true American idea,
that America stands alone in the man
agement of her affairs. He cites the
fact that the United States was not asked
to join in the Suez Canal guarantee.
Europe may govern her own affairs as
she chooses, bat she must hands of ofthe
American republics. 1t asserts and
claims more than Blaine did, but it is
only following in the policy he blazed.
1t will be powerful card in the hand
he plays for the presidency.

Lawrenceburg Convention.

To the CITIzES.l
The democracy of Lawrence
touched the chord of the "harmoni-
cam to-day and it gave forth its
sweetest notes. There was some
little effort made to load the con
vention with aOaste basket truck in the
shape of resolutions, etc, but the
convention sat down on them at
once by appointing committee of
one from each district to select 3
delegates from their respective dis
tricts to attend the Nashville con
vention, and if they saw fit to draft
resolutions. They gave the dis
and grumblers a heavy
pill to swallow, by inviting every
democrat present, who intended to
vote with the party, to take part in
the convention. The delegation
goes uninstructed, except as to har
mony and the success of the demo
cratic party. You may count on
old Lawrence wheeling into line.

Southern Opportunities.

An article which appeared in a
late number of the Journal of Com
merce and Manufacturers Record,
referring to Pulaski, Tenn, as an
available point for manufacturing,
touched one idea which should be
brought more prominently to the
consideration of capitalists who
want to make paying investments.
Capital and skill are the only things
needed to make the south pre-emi-
nently manufacturing country, and
shrewd energetic men from the east
and from Europe are rapidly supply
ing this deficiency. They have dis
covered that cheap fuel, cheap
cotton, cheap living and cheap labor
can all be found here, and that here
lies the secret of the enormous
profits southern mills are making.
The same may be said of iron as of
cotton. 1t is abundant, cheap, of
best quality, and in close proximity
to coal. 1t does not require a very
expert mathematician to see that
there is very wide margin in favor
of the southern manufacturer of
cotton or iron. But Middle Tennes-
see is prominently a field of vast
resources and vast opportunities.
1t is ''land of hog and hominy,"
Land of milk and honey pro
ducing, as your article said, grain,
grapes, fruits, vegetables, cattle and !
hogs equal to any country beneath |
the sun, making living cheap as it |
is anywhere in America. Add to
these coal, iron, cotton and water,
and you find it combining all of the |
elements, except capital and skill, |
to make it a grand manufacturing
district. Pulaski is a most invit-
ing place, situated on the line of the
L. d N. d G. S. R. R., between Nash
vile, Tenn, and Montgomery, Ala,
in the centre of large cotten-pro-
ducing area, is particularly adapted
for cotton manufacturing seed press
ing and other kindred works, all of
which are very remunerative to
those thus engaged in this section
favorable advantages belong
IN a great measure to all parts of the
south, there are some, such as cheap
living, &c, that belong peculiarly
TO the Tennessee basin. The
southern opportunities are great, if
hose who have the capital and can
control the skill would only take
hold Of them.-Baltimor Journal
