out for SeGSIeH.

Our much perturbed contempO-
rary, the Shelbyville Commercial,
which has fought so long and val
iantly for Low-tax doctrines, charges
that the Low-tax party was sold out
by the politicians in the high joint
convention. 1t now refuses TO sup
port the nominee of that convention
and comes out boldly for Beasley
for Governor. How earnest the
Commercial is in the matter will be
seen from the following extracts
taken from last weeks issue:
If "honesty is the best policy"
then no LoW-tax man can support
either Hawkins, Fussell or Bate.
Beasley is the only man they can
vote for and be honest, as his plat
form proposes to settle the State
debt according to LOW-taX doctrine.
Seriously, how any man can be
for Bate and not for his platform is
what we can't make out. He can't
repudiate one without repudiating
the other. If he takes Bate he
takes his platform. 1t is the quin-
tessence of demagOguery to say you
are for Bate but not his platform.
A vote for Bate is vote for his
platform.
II the honest yOemanry of the
State wish to see Hawkins and his
aiders and abettOrs, the stalwarts
and half-breeds of the High-tax,
State-credit wing of the Democratic
party defeated and settlement of
the State debt reached on a basis
proposed Bs the Low-tax Democra-
cy, all they have to do is to work
and vote for Beasley and members
to the Legislature that openly de-
nounce the platforms upon which
Hawkins, Fussell and Bate stand
on. If the Low-tax party will
unite upon him they can elect him.
AS Low-tax Democrats have no
candidate of their own to vote for
the best thing they can do is to vote
for Beasley. With the solid Low
tax vote he stands q chance to
defeat all the rest. In voting for
him no Low-tax man violates his
honor. Principle are everything
men nothing. Letlus stick to prin-
ciples if we have been deceived by
our trusted leaders, and if we must
die let US die game.

The Abundant Harvest
Nashville Banner.

Not to mention the potato crop,
which was the largest ever known
In Tennessee, and brought thous-
aims of dollars into tho State, IL
now seems to be AN ascertained fact
that other crops will turn out more
favorably than the most sanguine
predicted. IL may now be put down
as a certainty that the wheat crop,
after furnishing all that Is required
for home consumption, will yield "A
surplus of ten million dollars to the
use and benefit Of our State. II Is
also estimated that the crop OF green
fruit, In addition to the money re-
ceived from small fruit, strawber-
ries, raspberries, cherries, etc, will
amount to one million dollars, with
an equal amount yet TO be realized
from the sale of dried fruit. IL Is
nearly too soon yet TO predict In
dollars and cents what the harvest
will be in corn, but the crop In all
sections, Notwithstanding the cry
of the croakers, is immense, and
seasons so far has been very favora-
BILE. Altogether, Tennessee has
cause to be thankful, and IL we will
Just determine that the recent hon
orable settlement Of the State debt
shall remain, Providence will smile
upon us again, and reward us with
plenty for our own and the states

A Sleep,Hg-cGr Episode
CINCINNATI Times.


A comical scene occurred on
board a sleeping-car that left Cleye-
land the other night. Among the
passengers was a plain, staid, West
ern Reserve "school-marm," who
was going West on vacation. She
had secured a lower berth, but
when about TO retire discovered
that gentleman was to occupy the
shelf above her. In the language
OF the porter, she made n "holy
kick" against this arrangement,
and fatty declared that a company
that had no more regards for sin
gle lady's feeling than to make 1t,
was unworthy of the patronage of
respectable people. The conductor
was called, and after considerable
trouble got the lessee on the shelf
to take lower berth in the next
section. The gentle damsel retired
without disrobing, and later In the
night had occasion to get up TO get
a drink of water. Before leaving
her berth she pinned "A piece of pa
per to the outside of the curtain In
order that she might make sure OF
it on her return. Her movements
were observed by the gentleman
whom she had caused to be re-
moved, and he, being bit of
wag, bethought him that now was
his chance to get even. Hastily re.
moving the paper he pinned 1t 10
the curtain Of a Boston drummer,
who was decidedly on the mash,
and then awaited developments.
In little while the lady made the
best of her way to where the paper
was affixed and got into bed. A
later n succession OF pierre
ing screams issued from the berth,
followed by the alarmed lady and
the now thoroughly awakened
who hopped out after her
to see "what the devil the racket
was about" The scene that en-
sued beggars description, aud can
be but family imagined. 1t took
the conductor and the porter an
hour by the watch to pacify the en-
ragged female, and even then she
refused to be moliled until she was
given state-room for her sole use
for the remainder of the night.

The Rendiuster Of the Me.

AS has been already explained in
the Sun, the main issue involved
in the movements which have pre-
cipitated the conflict in Egypt was
a debt issue, and desire on the
part of the Egyptians to get rid Of a
financial burden imposed on them
by an extensive system of internal
improvements has brought to the
front Arabi Pasha, the Malone OF
the East, the foe Of bondholders and
'irreconcilable enemy of all brokers.
Arabi, with the keen scent Of a
born readjuster, for winning party
cry, has taken advantage of the
modern tendency to repudiate irk-
some national obligations, and by
pandering to it has become the
hero for the time being of his fell
low readjusters. Like the rest of
the tribe, he processes great cOnsid-
Grafton for the States creditors.
He twill pay the last farthing," {"
but he is inimical to the continuance
of the conditions and agencies by
which the first farthing may be eX-
pected to reach thecreditor's hands.
The Malone of the oldest State of
the Old World is, however, not so
happily placed as was his analogue
in the oldest State of this continent.
He has by this time discovered that
it is hardly safe to attempt to read
Just his dues TO the British lion,
that royal beast, in keeping with
the role assigned him in the fable,
never contenting himself with less
than the whole of the game brought
within his power. Arab is not
perhaps worse than other bosses and
men who administer
upon the effects of the States credit
Ors, but the very appearance Of his
success at first has made the danger
of his existence more apparent and
justified more violent measures for
putting him down.

EVERY crossed, but able bodied
swain in this country will now be
seeking a place on the police force.
A Baltimore policeman fell in love
with the beautiful daughter of a
millionaire who owned palace
near his beat. She heartily recip-
rocated his tender passion, but the
old gent heard of it and ''kicked"
like a dray mule. TIE usual elope-
ment followed and the two were
duly married. The old cuss heard
of it and came bowling around and
making a nuisance of himself. The
young officer was fully equal to the
emergency and promptly arrested
his new-made pa-in-law and took
him off to the station house on the
charge of disturbing the peace. 1t
required nerve but it worked like
a charm and all parties are now
recOnciled.

The Mirrors Romantic SIDE.
Gibson County Mirror.


There are girls and girls. There
y twirl and curl and rhythm of
poetry in the name, and Its very
sound awakens a kind Of musical
echo that makes you think of
charming serenades floating over
blue waters by moonlight. They
are blondes and brunettes-fioral
visions always fair, whether tinged
with olive and orange or blushing
in tints of violet like roses touched
by soft beams of a new morning
sun. They are dark-eyed and blue
eyed and brown-eyed houris sent
from some far away Paradise to
scatter the melody of laughter and
the perfume of violets along the
rugged halls of Time, between the
walls of which hangs the rugged
arnor Of war and strife and death.
They are twlnkling stars that seem
10 ripple and laugh over the dark
and shadowy waves as we wander
across the stormy main of Life.
They are chime Of bells whose
melody floats out to meet US from
the sacred church towers of a sweet
memorial youth, and both as "A
memory and fact, they draw us
by their silken cords of love TO
higher aims and nobler purposes.
They are the regal emblems and
crowning ideals of all our cherished
romance and the refined and subtle
essence that vitalizes the dull sensi-
bilities of real life. They are nobly
practical and beautifully ideal.
They are dreams that always come
true. They are fringes Of silver
that send CLEANS of mellow light
around the edges of all our Mourn
ing Habits, and the white robed
Angels who spread their wings of
love over the Tomb and hush the
walls of bitter grief with tender
lullabies. They are the DAISIES and
the Ferns that lift their willowy
forms in lines and dots of contrasted
freshness from the crevices of rug
ged rocks amid the estorm-riven hills
OF Time, and their refreshing love-
illness sparkles and ripples along our
pathway like crystal rivulets that
now and then thread liking path
way over the Desert sands. They
are Eolean Harps that wind their
mellow notes above the harsh
voice OF every storm, and they are
the gentle Doves that always come
back to us with glad tidings from
over the dark waters of care. They
fit along by our side like red-birds
and mock-birds and larks and ca
naries and linnets-to shut out the
hoarse croakings of the ravens that
always beset our pathway. With
out them all the fair dreams of life
would end in parlyzing night
mare, and ) rainbow hopes would
melt into midnight darkness. The
Mirror may have its lukewarm
friends in commerce and its bitter
foes in politics, but no man shall
say it is not the friend of woman
and the devoted lover of laughing
children. The Mirror hates decep-
tion and fraud, and loves the pure,
the true, the honest, the frank and
the beautiful; aud this is our Ro-
nance, If you choose to name it SO.

WALLACE, the chairman Of the
late Low-Tax Democratic commit
tee, has this to say in his paper, the
McMinnville New Era:
The platform is one on which we
cannot stand or give our support
without stultifying ourselves, and
giving the lie to much we have
said for the past five or six years on
the State debt question. If it had
succeeded in bringing peace and
harmony 10 our ranks, we could
have afforded to have held our in
dividual views in obeyance, for at
least the present, and given a quasi
support and endorsement of the
platform, but having failed In this,
as a lOw-taxer we do not feel bound
by its policies. al.

a Distinction Without a Difference
Gallatin Examiner.

The Readjuster orators and papers
are very fond of calling the meet
ing of June 10th, the CbaUention OF
the Democratic party and claiming
for it all the authority ordinarily
attached to such an mblage.
1t was not such a convention. IL
was a joint conference of two wings
of the party, convened for the pur-
pose OF ascertaining whether an
agreement could be reached. There
was no agreement, at any stage,
entered into that a majority of the
whole should be binding. The
wings failed to agree, or to harmo-
nize and that was the end OF it.
We have no objection TO being cali
ed boher, since we never did have
anything to do with conventions and
the term is not applicable to those
who refuse to abide by its action.
They couldn't agree with the other
wing and left it to make q platform
of their own. And they carried
with them all that was left of the
good old party of their fathers.

THE TRIO.

Among the sisterhood OF States
Three wear n coronal OF glory,
More beautiful and grand by far
Than any known in song or story.
The Empire State her bushes hides;
The Keystone State, whose fight was glorious,
Must Yield the palm to Iowa,
The youthful queen, the last victorious.
And now the trio Ia complete;
Yet soon we trust that all the others
WIN come beneath the snowy flag
Which shields our fathers. sons, and brothers.
For man Ia weak and drink ia strong;
Klngs, priests, and rulers fall beforeit
While both great parties trembling cringe,
When asked TO stand for truth ignore 1t.
God bless the pioneer, fair Malnel
May her brave sons and daughters ever
Stand fearless for the truth and right,
And bow before the tyrant never.
Kansas, free daughter Of the west
The theme Of many thrilling story,
with her brave governor, 81. John,
Next wears the coronal Of glory
And Iowa, the home Of one
Whose logic, eloqueuce, and pleading
Have deeply stirred the nations heart,
Has set the seal, with no receding.
God bless the Foster May her sons
Prove worthy Of their noble mother,
While laws strong arm shall throw lts shield
Around the homes Of myriad others.
God bless the glorious trio all
Grand leaders in the reformation;
And may protection :" be the law
OF every state in this great nation.
