HOW THE HING Lf1sT HIS GROWN.
J. 7. TRoEBETD6E

The kings men, when he had slain the boar,
Strung him sloft on the hshers oar,
And, two behind and two before,
AN sp ssvs 4ba t aiOns tne sn9 ORE
Did the fisher frown and the good wife sigh7p
"A trihe, sire'" was the fools reply
Then frown or laugh who will; for l.
Who laugh at all and am only clown
VIII never more laugh at trifes."

And launched g sk1f from the fishers strand;
For he cried, IAN army invades the land!
The passes are seised on either handi
And must carry my message straight,
Across the lake to the castle gate"
The castle is heated, but the waves were great,
The Hanged rocks foaIned like the jaws Of lats.
And lacking an oar the boat went down:
The furies laugh at TRIES.
The swimmer against the waves began
To strive valiant swimmer can;
"Methinks,' said the fool, ."twere no bad plan
If succor were sent the drowning mani"
TO succor pertled pawn, instead,
The monarch, moving his rock ahead,
Bowed over the ehessmen, white and red,
Gave eheek-then looked on the lake and said
The boat Is lost, the man will drownr'
o king, beware of trifes! ~
To the lords and mirthfuI danes the bard
was trolling bis latest song; the guard
Were casting dice in the castle yard;
And the captains all were drinking hard;
Then came the chief of the aIberdiers,
And told TO the kings sstonished ears:
An army on every side appearsl
An army with banners and bows and spears,

The red usurper reached the throne;
The tidings over the realm were blown:
And. flying to alien lands alone
With trusty few. the king made moan.

And so the messenger CHANGED to drown,
The messenger lost, we lost the town;
And the loss Of the town has lost q crown;

HEiIPWlS APPEAL
THURSDAY. sEPTEMBER Z, lss2

KNOCKING DOWN AND SETTING UP.
The Republicans are making ten-pin OF
General Chalmers. They take pleasure in
knocking him down and trying to set him up
again. They kick him out of the House for
Stealing the Shoestring district" and then
Assess the poor women in the employ OF the
government to put him back again. The
person of General Chalmers is made black
and blue with the toe Of Republican boots,
but these wounds are to be cured with the
greenback plaster furnished by robbing the
government employees Of their hard earnings
General Chalmers is making funny can
vass. He is a confessed bulldozer, and pre-
sents himself "a the champion of free
ballot and fair count He has opposed
everything he now favors, all because the
Democrats would not flibuster to retain him
in seat to which be was never elected, by
large majority. 1t is impossible for Chsl-
mers 10 Mshonize Mississippi, for the man
whose example he proposes to initiate has
lost his hold in Virginia, and with the clese
Of the present year he will be the mort
odious and unpopular man in the
United States, hated by the party he
has betrayed and abandoned by those who
used him because of his failure to Repub-
Hcanize Virgins, even when backed by all
the patronage of the government. The issues
which gave Malone an ephemeral popular
ity have passed away, and he is destined 10
sink into shameful oblivion. The Phila-
delphia Times says: "Mahone went up like
rocket and is coming down like a stick.
Everything points to speedy termination OF
his rule. His party is dividing against him
and deserters are numerous. Since the debt
question is no longer one of politics the Vir-
ginia freebooter has shown himself in his
true light. His only excuse for cracking the
whip over the voters is to secure what spoils
he can for himself and his henchmen. His
party Is entirely one of spoils, and it cannot
stand for any length of time on a platform
OF that nature. 1t is almost certain that the
State will go against him this fall, and his
contract to deliver seven or eight Readjuster
congressman over to the administration can
not be carried out, In several of the districts
where he has been strong there are three
tickets IN the field, and it is not likely that
ne can carry more than one or two of them.

Mr.. Gray, from causes have already set forth,
Is the most powerful man in Ireland with
The Catholic clergy; and it is one of the
most significant facts of the hour that the
subscriptions to pay the fine inflicted upon
him is headed By two Catholic bishops.
Then every municipal officer in ireland
ieels himself aggrieved BY the slight put
upon one of the highest Of the order, and
every, wealthy man sees that even high posi-
ton does not save from the outrage Of arbi-
trary. power. In short, this Imprisonment
will throw the moderate section OF the couu-
try into the battllions which have hitherto
only been manned by the out-and-out be-
levers in Parnell. Its immediate effects
will be to arrest the progress of Ireland
toward paei6cation, and perhaps it was not
wholly unconnected with the appalling
tragedy in county Galway, of which we have
just heard in London. Mr.. Gladstone, in
deed, under these circumstances, might we'll

Dishonored Itself.

The Chester Leader simply dishonors an
honorable cause projected and carried on by
honorable men when it charges General
Bate With intemperance. 1t is simply false,
and one need only 10 see the man to know
that il could not be true. As to this canvass,
we stand just where we did in 1880, when
Mr.. Wilson's personal character was attacked
in reply 10 assaults upon the Democratic
candidate. Knowing nothing of the matter,
we declared that it had nothing to do with
the political issue in Tennessee and we de-
clined 10 have anything to do with il. As to
this charge upon General Bate, we know il
is slanderots, and do not hesitate to say so
as frankly as to an opponent as if it were our
own candidate was involved. The Chester
Leader, we believe, has but lately come from
the other side, and we suppose it has not yet
learned that sky-blue Democracy deals in
truth and in politics only in public issues,
and public policies, and the public records
of men, and never in private character or in

It will be as much as the honest men oil
Tennessee can do, when united, to overcome
this terrible epidemic Of rascality that is
raging all over the State. II we should fail
through divisions in our own ranks, we
would be doubly dIsgraced. On the other
hand, where the Republicans are strong in
any legislative district, we think the State
credit Democrats should have patriotism
enough to support Republican. And il
they are prompted by principle they will do
so. A true christian loves all christians,
whether Baptists, Metho5ists or Presbyte-
rians. A false christian claims to love his
own denomination, but considers all other
denominations sold to Satan. So a real
State-credit man loves all Stste-credit men,
whether Republicans or Democrats, and is
willing TO join forces in the grand battle for
the right. But false State-credit man Is
one who claims to love the St&te-credit men
in his own party, bat hates the State-credit
