STATE DEMOCRACY.
There's Music in the Air-The Drum
Beat for HarmOny-The Path
to Victory.
4 General Sentiment in Favor OF Har-
mOny and Fair Settlement
Opinions Of the Press.



Since the decision of the Supreme Court,
Major VIM. J. Sykes, OF Columbia, has writ
ten a letter to a prominent holder of Tennes-
see bonds, with whom he had corresponded.
Among other things he said UNLESS
a great change takes place in public SEN
timent a settlement at these rates (lO0-3)
cannot stand, and will be of no ser
vice to the creditors. This may be matter
of regret, but ii is true settlement at 60
Der cent. of the debt, with graduated inter
est commencing at per cent, or one at 90
per cent OF the debt, commencing with 4 per
cent interest, believe, would be sustained.
Nothing higher can. 1t is well to recognize
the true state of affairs. / have never given
you false information nor endeavored TO in
spire false hopes. To make settlement
that will not stand is folly. / am for doing
the best we can, but l am not in favor OF
losing all by attempting the impracticable.'
This is a plain, sensible view TO take Of
the question. The extreme State-credit II an
may say he is in favor of paying the creditor
100 6, unless he voluntarily releases a por-
ton of his debt This all seems fair enough,
but then when he comes to ask himself II
such a settlement will stand, or be ratified by
tire TvUPtr ne Is nut sure, and IN fact may
plainly say it will not. Then what is the
use of enacting law to pay 100 and have
it remain unenforced or overturned? Such
would not be wise action. Major Sykes is
clearly right, we ought to make settlement
but there is no earthly use in attempting
what is clearly impracticable to begin with.

viegiais ctsv.) Chronicls.l
Some weeks ago the Chronicle in
noticing that the press Of New York
and Boston had devoted considerable
space to the subject Of demand on
the part of the bachelors of Idaho for
Eastern girls to go out there and mar
ry them, was betrayed into an indiscre-
ton. The indiscretion was . pen per-
trait of the Idaho Bachelor waiting on
the veranda Of the Cosmopolitan Ho-
tel in Murderer's Gulch to greet his
New England bride as she alighted
from the stage-ceach. This morning
there was . knock at the door Of the
editorial room. A young man with .
dyed mustache came in. His eyes
were infamed and he wore a blue
flannel shirt embroidered on the bosom
in white silk. The brim Of his drab
felt hat was exceedingly wide, his
trousers were tucked into the long
legs Of highly polished boots, and
his breath was laden with the odor Of
whisky. A newly-bought fur-trim-
med overcoat gave an air of gorgeous
ness to the ensemble.
"I'm in from Haley to lick the
rooster that runs this institution" was
the alarming opening remark Of the
young man.
The editor turned slightly pale and
fumbled nervously under pile of ex-
changes on his desk. "lIaileyp" ven
tured the editor, "where's HALEY, and
why should you want to lick me?:'
"Hailey's in the Wood River coun-
try, cuss yeh, and the Wood River

Stories About Animals.

A gray horse used by the St Louis
Transfer Company in one of its teams
is an habitual tobacco chewer.
A terrier dog at Americus, Ca, has
forsaken his home and taken up his
lot with herd of goats, refusing to
associate with other CANNES.
Jealousy recently induced large
Berlin dog to attack a five-year old
boy. The boy was petting new lap
dog when the big dog jumped upon
him and threw him down. The lap
dog, going to the boys assistance, was
killed.
A novel fight occurred in stable
in Council Bluffs between q stallion
and bulldog. The fight lasted more
than an hour, and was so furious that
no one dared enter to interfere. After
fatally bruising the dog the horse
threw It outside the stall with its
teeth.
w. b. F. Daniel, of Dublin, Ga,
was deer hunting recently. His dog
caught fawn. Daniel attempted to
secure it, and the doe came to the
rescue. He dropped the fawn to
catch the mother, but after q desperate
struggle she slipped from his grasp
and got away.
A lady At Branchville, N. J., one
day fed common brook turtle that
had approached her door. Thereafter
the turtle paid frequent visits. This
season the animal brought mate
with it, and the two take frequent ex-
cursions from the brook to the house
to obtain food.
A fight between a toad and ! large
black spider was recently witnessed
at Merrick, L. |. After each round
the toad hoped to plantain leaf, bit
off piece, and then returned to the
fray. After this had occurred several
times the leaf was taken away, and
the toad, failing to find the leaf, soon
rolled over and died.
The distasteful odor Of assafetida that
Virginia lady had placed under the
caves Of tho porch as . disinfectant,
drove away . wren that had just gone
to housekeeping. For some days the
bird and her mate were observed to
be very busy, and it was soon discov-
cred that they had moved their nest
twig by twig to the opposite side Of
the portico.
