The Prospects of Harmony.
Jaokson Tribpne and Sun


The Democratic State Convention
meets on the 10th inst. The counties
have very generally ppointed dele
gates. The complexion of the con-
vention may now be pretty accurately
determined and the prospects of
harmony fairly estimated. There
will be three clearly defined factions
in the convention. On one hand will
be the friends of the present settle.
ment, embracing some OF the ablest
and purest men in the State. On the
other hand will be the followers OF
Savage & Co., demanding the repeal of
the present settlement alone, or the
submission platform of '7S, which is
practically nothing more tGan repudi-
alton. Between these two factions will
stand the harmony men who will urge
a policy between the extremes, and
the coming down of one and the
moving up of the other. There
will also be a few State credit free
lances who will readily agree to COG
or 50-4, as may best promise a united
Democracy and a permanent settle
ment of the State debt.
The 60.6 men will be the weakest
numerically, and the Savage crowd
next weakest of the factions in the
convention. The harmany men will
be very strong, but whether strong
enough to control the independent Of
both factions is not certain. 1t looks
now as if tho majority Of the GGG &C 6 men
will be unyielding. There are also
grounds for the opinion that portion,
if not a majority of the Savage faction
will be equally as stubborn. Two dan
gers present themselves first, the

MR. Oscar Wildo. Of whom % much

Mr.. Oscar Wilde, ofwhom so much
has been said, makes his appearance
at Leubrie's Theater, Monday night,
and for that night only. Many will
go out Of curiosity, but others for the
more thoughtful purpose of hearing
what he has to say as the reputed
apostle of estheticism. We take it
that Mr.. Wilde's methods and forms
of dealing with his subject are new,
rather than his ideas. A love Of the
beautiful in nature is inherent, but a
love of the beautiful, the idealistic in
higher art and in the realms of poesy,
comes only with culture and ripper
civilization. Mr.. Wilde is an edu-
Gated gentleman, who has had the ad-
vantages Of the best schools and socie-
ty that Great Britain affords. In the
South he will be generously welcomed,
and listened to with respectful atten-
tion.

boiling of both extreme factions
thereby splitting the party into three
parts, each with candidate for Gov
ernor; and second, combination Of
the extremes against any action
whatever on the State debt except
demanding the repeal Of the 60-6,
which would result in practically the
same kind of split and fight as there
was iu 1880 But there are good
grounds for the hope that the strength
of the harmony men will be so marked
that recruits will come from both
facti ms in sufficient numbers to give
the party a reasonable hope Of success
At all events there is no hope for the
party except in obedience to the ma
jority sentiment of the party, and if
the effort to harmonic on this basis
fails the party will be no worse off
than at present, and chaos and defeat
being inevitable, every Democrat can
be party unto himself and act as
pleases him best.
But we hope for the best aud will
do our part in the work of union and
victory with honor.

AN article elsewhere, from the
Fargo Argus, refers to Col. Pat Donan
in justly complimentary terms. He is
one of the brilliant and noted journal
lists Of the times. Oflate years he has
cast his lot with the people of Dakota
Territory. He is the aggressive sort
of a man, to make friends and be use
ful anywhere, particularly in new
country, where. there is demand for
dash, pluck and endurance. Col. Do.
nan has been instrumental in attract.
ing many people to the great North
west. He goes about his work in a
whole souled sort of way, as though
he owned most Of the land aud was
anxious to fill it up with thrifty set
tlers-a work that is going on with
wonderful rapidity. He has organ
lied various excursions, and carried
people over the finest railroads in the
world through the boundless
wheat fields and prairies Of
the Northwest, who, before that,
had only vague and underlined ideas of
the vast extent and wonderful pro
ductiveness Of that region. Last year
he carried the Arkansaw Press Asso
citation as far as Winnepeg, and not
long since he conducted the st. Louis
Russian Broom Brigade as far as
Minnesota in the same direction. This
unique and charming excursion Of
young ladies, chaperoned by Mrs. Jno.
G. Brown and two other Tennessee
ladies, has already been given much
space and attention at the hands of the
press and the public. The Colonel in
charge proved himself equal to the
occasion, responded with charming
bits Of oratOry at all public receptions,
introduced everybody who should be
introduced, and performed the part Of
an agreeable and chivalrous escort
He has organized and conducted many
excursions, which have not only given
much pleasure, but done good in
bringing together people who live far
apart, and know little Of each other
This is certainly useful public SER
vice, and one which promotes good
feeling, nationality and homogenity.

ONE Of the evidences of harmony,
and one Of the hopeful signs for the
Democratic party, lies in the fact that
the public men in West Tennessee are
not pushing themselves forward, or
seeking to impress their particular
views upon the people. They manifest
a conscious respect for the fact that
they are not above the people, but are
accountable, as public servants, at the
bar of public opinion. This sentiment
is creditable to public men and popu-
lar feeling. 1t accounts for the fact
that men do not allow themselves to
be pushed forward for any particular
position. The unwritten motto Just
in this exigency seems to be: "The
party first, men afterward." There
are excellent men in West Tennessee
suitable in every sense for Governor,
but to insure harmony and to avoid
all complications, no one has been
specially pressed forward. Personally
we might have preferences very near
home, but as matter of sound pub
lie policy these are waived and the
claims and merits Of mon are passed
over until the party comes together
upon common ground. Then we will
look around for the right mantle
mau Tor the hour, and expect to sup.

he comes from Carter, Shelby, Rhea

Since ho came home night before
last, leaving Mrs. Jennie Dixon. who
carried him away from his anxious
parents in St. Louis, at farm house
in San Antonio, little" Johnnie Cur
lis, whose escapsde has given him al.
most national reputation, has been
quite lion among his former asso-
ciates, who have been very desirous of
seeing how young man looks alter
being run away with. Curtis has been
modest, however, and only a favored
few have been accorded the privilege
OF seeing him, reporters not being sd-
mitted at any price. The latest news
received of him before his arrival was
when he was seen by members of the
Missouri Press Association in Calves
ton, several weeks since. A former
friend, who found that he was still
living with Mrs. Dixon and that both
were out of money, tried to persuade
him to return but Johnnie wouldn't
hear of it, as there was probably a
doubt in his mind as to whether it
would be safe for him to come in reach
of his father.

When the reporter called at the res
idence to inquire after Johnnie's
health, he was informed by the servant
girl that he was not at home, and a
matronly lady who might have been
Johnnie's ma, confirmed the state
ment and supplemented it with the
information that he wasn't to see
newspaper men.

How CHEApLY ONE CAN LIvE.-Bread,
after all. is the cheapest diet one can live on,
and also the best. A story is told just how
cheap man can live, when he gets down to
mush.n figuratively speaking. Colonel Fltz-
cibbon. was, many years ago, colonial agent at
London, for the Canadian government, and
was wholly dependent upon remittances from
Canada for his support. On one occasion
these remittances failed to arrive, and as there
was no cable in those days. he was compelled
to write to his Canadian friends to know the
reason of the delay. Meanwhile he had JUST
one sovereign to live upon. He found that ne
could live upon six pence per day, or ABOUT ~
cents of our rmoney-four pennyWorth OF Dread,
one penny worth of milk, and one penny worth
of sugar. which served for breakfast, dinner
and supper, the milk being reserved Tor the
last meal When his remittances arrived,
about a month afterward, he had five shllllngs
remaining of his sovereign, and he liked MS
frugal diet so well that he kept it up tor TWO
wears, possibly longer. Twelve cents day is
certainly small amount to expend for food
but a man in Minnesota, about three years
ago, worried through whole year on ten dol
lars. He lived on 'JOhnny cake"
We know of theological student In an
Ohio college. who, sustained by grace, rice and
corn bread. lived thirteen weeks OH ten dollars;
hut there we're several good apple orchards
near the college and the farmers kept no dogs.
It is not the necessities of life that cost much,
but the luxuries = and it is with the major part
of mankind as it was with the Frenchman
who said if he had theluxuries of life, he could
dispense with the necessities. Mere living is
cheap, but as the hymnalogist says, "It is not
all of life to live. ."-American Miller.
