Examine Yourself, Boy.

Get away from a crowd little
while every day, my dear boy.
Stand to one side and let the world
run by while you get acquain ted
with yourself and see what kind
of a fellow you are. Ask yourself
hard questions about yourself. Find
out all you can about yourself. Ask
certain information from original
sources if you aro really the man
ner of man people say you are.
Find out if you are always honest,
if you always tell the square, per-
feet truth in business dealings.
Ask if your life is as good and up.

are at home; if, in short, you are
the sort of young man your faith.
er hopes you are, your mother says
you are, your sweetheart believe:

with yourself, my boy and believe

these private interviews you will
be stronger, better, and purel

"PeriShable.''

On a barrel of freight I recently
observed the word at the top of this
article. 1t indicated the need of
it's being forwarded with haste.
The single word was to me SER
mon. 1t suggested much more
than was intended. l thought that
with propriety it might be inscrib-
ed on all earthly things, 1t might
be written on the riches of the
world. None of these are durable.
They perish with the using. They
are uncertain possessions. The
fire and the flood may destroy
them. The moth and the rust may
corrupt them, Thieves may break
through and steal them. They
may suddenly take to themselves
wings and fly away.
1t might be written on the hon
ors of the world. None of these are
enduring. None of them are secure
to their possessors., Those who oc-
cupy the highest seats of power
and fame are not sure of them for a
day. Now we see Nebuchadnez-
Ear proudly walking in his palace,
and saying, 'Is this not great Ba-
bylon that | have built for the
house of my kingdom by the might
of my power, and for the honor of
my majesty?" And whilst he yet
speaks, there falls upon his ear
voice from heaven, saying: 90,
King ACKNOWLEDGMENT, to thee it is
spoken: the kingdom is departed
from thee" And the same hour
was the thing fulfilled upon him.
His glory was turned to shame.
Great was his humiliation.
And SO as regards the pleasures
of the world. How transient are
all thesel They are but for
brief season. And SO of the fash

frail and crumbling? How soon

they arel And so of the world it.

RAILROAD COM MISSION.


Information is brought to us that
keeping up the names of the candidates
for Railroad Commissioners is accepted
in some parts of the State as evidence
that the American favored their cleo
ton. We do not intend to be misun-
derstood on this question. We have
explicitly and emph,tically declared
that not to vote in this election would
lead to the repeal of the law. This we
earnestly desire, because the law has
been declared unconstitutional, and to
pay large salaries for a name, under Il
law which cannot be executed, is an alb
surdity as well as great wrong. Be
sides, we do not entertain a doubt but
that the commission, if continued, will
MATERIAL y affect our industrial growth.
That nobody may be deceived about
what we mean, we take down the names
Of the candidates, and suggest that we
indicate our desire for Il repeal of the
law by refusing to vote at all --Ameri-
can, Oct. 25,h,

The Political Outlook.

Mr.. Dulin, who will succeed us next
week in entire management of the Home
Journal, tells MS he will delay for one
day its issue, that he may give the re-
suit OF the impending National election.
This is business-like, and we embrace
the occasion to express our hope and
belief that grand Democratic triumph
can be announced We think it ONLY
possible that Blaine and Logan will be
elected The probabilities are on the
side of Cleveland and Hendricks, the
first having carried New York in his
race for Governor by the astounding
majority Of nearly 200, 900, and the lat
ter having carried Indiana in his race
for Governor, MS well as for the Vice
Presidency on the ticket with Mr.. Til
den. These two States and solid
South will place Cleveland and Hen.
bricks at the head ofGovernment. We
also have strong reasons to believe that
the Democracy will carry New Jersey,
Nevada, California, Wisconsin, and
Connecticut We earnestly hope such
may be the result, for we do believe
that the Republican party, in nomina.
ting Blaine and Logan, nominated the
two most sectional and corrupt men of
their party, and they are "waving the
bloody shirt" with Il bitterness scarcely
known when Grant first was elected,
and this, too. when q generation almost
have passed away since the war ended,
and in which AIR. Blaine had substi-
tu.e. He is intellectually superior to
Grant, but morally far worse. Grant
did wrong very much through ignor-
ance. Blaine is great culprit, moral
ly, from impulse and education.
We will add our belief, also, that
Ohio will go Democratic. 1t went Re-
publican lately by less than $4,000,
which is not a large majority to over
come in State that casts so large a
vote as Ohio. Besides, it lie proven be-
yond doubt that n vast amount of
money was expended by the Govern
ment and Republicans in order to carry
the State, the prices paid for votes
ranging from ten to fifty dollars. And
| it is also fact that thousands ofroughs
we're imported and badged as U. 5,
Marshas to imtimidate voters in Cincin.
natl, and many persons killed and
wounded We believe that the people
will rebuke the bloody shirt party in
the National election.
AS to the State election in TENNESSEE
we are happy in the firm belief that
Gov. Bate will be reelected. In this
Congressional district we think there is
no doubt of the election of Maj. james
d. Richardson. DR.. Lewis Metcalfc is
the regular nominee for State Senator
and W. w. Gordon for Representative
and their names will be found in the
ticket in this issue. Vote the straigh
ticket.
