Tho Lost Atlantis.
Dedicated TO LgnGtius Donnoly.
The night of ages is passing away,
Yet the dawn Of Atlantis shines afar,
Where the mind of man like perfect day
Beams out on the earth like morning star.
There is nothing new there is nothing old,
In this beautiful world so fresh and free;
The mountains arc filed with silver and gold,
As they came from the hand orDestiny.
The hills and tho wales will blossom in spring,
The ocean will roar with II sullen cry,
Old Time in his flight with restless wing
Shall whir DER the dead without pity or sigh.
So the sun will rise and the sun Will set,
And stars will bejewel the upper blue,
And the earthquake shock, like gaping net,
Win swallow together the false and true,
hear voice DER the rolling deep,
And catch glimpse of that far-of shore
Where men and women will never weep
In the new Atlantis forevermore.

Better thousand times that the chain

than that brave officers life should
have been sacrificed. There may be occa
sions in the life of every policeman when
it becomes absolutely necessary for him
to employ q revolver or club in conquer
ing desperate characters, or in his own
protection from ruflianly gangs but police
officers should be taught the folly and the
danger of too much lightncss and freedom
in the use of firearms. There is moral
power in n revolver in the hip pocket or a
club in its sheath. In active play they
become agents of passion or cowardly
brutality rather than peace proservers.

ODDS AND ENDS.



Ipledge TO thee this golden cup
Filled with my life's red wine;
Drain, If thou wilt, the generous draught,
For every drop is thine.
Look down into its sparkling depths
And watch the bubbles bright
That rise from out It's ruby heart
And break in foamy light.
Then take the cup pledge to thee,
Filled with a draught divine;
My soul lies trembling on the brim,
And every drop Is thine.
Is thine to take or to reject;
But If reject thou must,
Toss to the winds this worthless wine,
And crush the cup to dust.

Special to the Appeal
Washington, March PA care
tul canvass among the leader of both
wings of the Democracy justifies the
prediction that q spirit of mutual
concession will prevail at to morrow
nights caucus.
Speaker Carlisle said to the Appeal
correspondent tonight: ''Thc tariff
reformers will insist upon an emphatic
demand for tariff reform as the for
NAL expression of the Democratic par
~, but there is no desire to read any
Democrat out of the party who
cannot subscribe to such a resolution.
l think the danger of division has
passed"
Casey Young believes the caucus
will be agreed upon some harmonious
plan.
Representative Caldwell, of Tennes-
see, does not think the caucus will
take any extreme action. He believes
that difference will DO Lamonized."
Morrison said to night: ''There
will be no trouble. There will be
a fe IS hotheads in the caucus, but we
viii control them. We do not pro.
pose to read anybody out of the party
because they do not subscribe to
tariff reform"
Your correspondent has talked
to-day with Buckncr, of Missouri.
McMillin, of Tennessee; Culberson,
of Texas, Nichols, of Georgia. Ellis,
of Louisiana. Forney, of Alabama.
Vance, of North Carolina; Rpsecrans,
Slocum and other party leaders, and
they all Ieiieve that while the caucus
may develop some bitterness, some
plan will be devised that will avert
ANYTHING like Il party catastrophe.
They belive the imminent danger Of
a disastrous party split has passed.

We learn that the friends ST Col.
Albert McNeal, Of Bolivar, West
TSnnessre, will present his name as
one Of the delegates for the State at

Convention, to. meet at Chicago in

! Manchester Time.
Col. \. r. McNeal, of Bolivar,
has been prominently mentioned as
one Of the four delegates for the State
at large to the National Democratic
Convention " hich meets in Chicago,
July 8. Col. McNeal ia a strong man
in West Tennessee, and we would
like to see him CHOSEN as delegate,
feeling assured he would faithfully
discharge the important duty imposed
upon him. Representative men should
be sent to Chicago, and Col. McNeal
would fill the bill as nearly as any
man we have seen mentioned. The
Times is for McNeal and Champion.
and two more like them as delegate
for the State at large.
Knoxville Tribune: Sol. Albert
T. McEeal, Of Bolivar, Tenn, is be-
ing mentioned as the right man for one
Of the delegates from the State at
large to the National Convention.
Surely no better selection could be
made. Col. McEeal is not IL p0liti-
clan and has never sought any public
distinction. though he has most e'uin-
ent qualities for this service. we
need men of his character at our
National Convention, men who are
informed as to the value of issues
with settled convictions and courage
to carry them out. We have known
this gentleman for some years, and
had frequently heard his name nefOre
our acquaintance, and we can heartily
indorse him as delegate, believing
that his popularity will insure his
election.

More Education for Vcnnencr.

From tho Appeal
1t is stated as certain that a vigor.
Gus effort will be made to call con-
veniion in Tennessee to revise the
State constitution. II that I've done
nothing in connection with the bust
ness Of the convention can possibly b
of more Importance than to give in
the neW constitution every possihly
aid and facility to education. Flu
cation Is tho crying ~ant of the State
Of Tennessee. Complaint is made every
now and then as to hard;mesurcs adopt.
ell hy the North against the South.
As long rs the cultivated brains are
in the North the power that moves
public opi"ioR and guides the onward
course oi the social current will be
there knowledge is power and they
who have attained the knowledge
will WELD the power, and thuse having
the least knowledge will go to the
wall. Why should the South hav e
less knowledge than the North2 Are
not youths of the South as bright, as
quick, as well endowed, as Favored
in natural parts as those of the NortEi
The records Of anr college where
Northern and eouthern youth are
brought together will answer the
question IN a way that will put nc
Southerner to the blush. When, how
ever, we come to look at the actual
statistics Of education in Tennessee,
we End that what it is possible to
sccomplI~h and what is actually done
are two different things. Tennessee
has not the education facilities her
position and POPULATION require. There
ure not schools enough; the teachers
taking the State at large-arc not ac-
cOmplished enough; and where schools
are opened, the terms are not long
enough. Those who have read the
State, while rejoleeing at what is
done, cannot but mourn that much
greater effort is not made. IF ever
Tennessee is to stand before the world
with the prominence that is its due,
it must educate its citizences. What
gave Ohio IFS singular prominence
am eng ths States? its natural advant-
ages? No; not as compared with
Tennessee; but its public schools, its
population Of men and women who
can read and think. We want more
educatian in Tennessee-education
for the laborer rs we'll as for the
merchant and the lawyer, education
for the negro as we'll as for white.
II we are to revise our State eOnsti:u
ton, let one Of the objects be to So
mold it as to make education as uni
versal as our youthful population.

Senator Cameron, who was one of
the committee investigating the Co
piah county affair at New Orleans,
had fine story fixed up when he got
back to Washington, and told it to the
Appeals correspondent. During his
remarks he said that he believed the
South has more illiteracy than it had
Ten or twenty years ago, and that il
Louisiana and Mississippi little or 10
interest was manifested in the prcsi !
Dental contest, either by Democrats
or Republicans. He intimates that
elections are carried in those states
Wy making the returns to suit them
selves and by bulldczing the voters.
This is the kind of stHff out of which
the Republican campaign literature
is being manufactured.

The above was written after the
published denial of many Of the best

of the unfortunate and crushed family
