Is Il WorthIThinking About2

/ have before nae the official fig
nres of every gubernatorial election
in Tennessee since 1869. A study
of them is rather startling. Not tC
weary your readers l reject the ode
years when party lines were more
or less relaxed, and consider only
the presidential years. The results
are given in round numbers:
In 1872 John c. Brown had 98,-
900 to Freemau's $4,000. The de
feat of Maynard, by Jas. D. Porter
in 1874, by a majority of $4,000, sc
discouraged the republicans that in
1876 they gave Nancy and Yardley
together, but 1880 votes. Porter
having 124, 900 and D. B. Thomas
Independent, $4,000.
In 1880 Hawkins had 100000
and was elected. Wright, demo
crat, receiving 10000 and Wilson,
boiling. Democrat, $1,000. Total
democrat vote 10000.
But in 1854 Bate received only
1872, 201 and Reid, republican, 1885,
276-a democratic plurality Of less
than 1000 in a total vote of 25S,
Alb, for W. J. Buchanan had csc
votes.
In other words, while the demo
cratic vote has increased in twelve
years $4,000 or about 35 per cent.
the republican, vote has increased
41,O0O, or nearly so per cent. The
same ratios, continued for four
years, will give the state to the re-
publlcans in 1888.
OF course this is the best possible
time for a fight in the party be-
tween the machine" and the Sin
dependent" for ruling all who do
not happen to agree with US on the
questions of the tariff or the rail
road commission, and particularly
those who, some years ago, differed
from the majority on the state debt.

STARTING THE IMMIGRATION BALL
Col Robert Gates Addresses the People of
Giles Yesterday.

Col. Robert Gates, assistant COM
missioner of agriculture, statistics
and mines, addressed a small audi
ence at the court house yesterday.
HIS address was above an hour in
length and was a beautifully word
ed and philosophic presentation of
farm life in Tennessee, our agricnl
tural development and particularly
what we need to advance our pros
perity. Col. McWhirter did well to
select Col. Gates for such mission.
His object first is to traverse Mid
die Tennessee and stir up an inter
est among home people to prepare
them to receive and appropriate
the benefits Of an excursion of north
ern farmers that will come down in
November. He goes into the move
ment with the correct assumption
that progress begins at home, and
he is preparing the way and max
ing straight the path for boom in
agricultural progress that is sure to
follow an intelligent appropriation
of the advantages to flow from
these northern excursions. Col.
Gates in a few weeks starts north
and will make a circuit Of the fairs
in Ohio and Indiana where he is ad-
vertised to speak and where his
masterful way of presenting the
beauties and advantages of Tennes-
see climate and soil is sure to be
followed by a multitude of inqui-
ries and visitati0ns thisward. Those
present yesterday were intensely
edited and interested, and it is APP
parent to all that he is capacitated
to do a splendid work for our coun-
try. After a while, when the i'm
mense benefits that follow a wise
and vigorous administration of the
commissioner office are so appar-
ent that they will crowd and cram
their way right down through the
thick skull and into the dull brain
of the legislators, then it will be
seen that our stinginess held back
results for years and we will make
some amend in giving that bureau
a liberal appropriation. We shall
have more to say as November ap
proaches. Pulaski will be expect
ed TO entertain the excursionists fol
day and night and show them oul
country

Dixie Williams.

Prescott, Ark, Picayune.
The revival meeting now being
carried on by the Rev. Dixon c..
williams is the most powerful and
gracious ever held here. Large
crowds attend each service, of which
there are three daily, at 6 a. M, at
1890 a. m. and 8 p. m. AS many
as $500 have been out at one ser
vice and all seem deeply interested.
The different denominations are all
taking an active part in trying to
lead men out of darkness into light.
Up to this time "Wednesday morn
ing) there have been 1T CONVEX
siOns, fifty five of them having pro
fessed Tuesday night. Some of
these have been among our most
wicked, but by the power of God
they have been turned and all class
es arc rejoicing at it. A great work
is going on in our midst-may it go
on till hundreds more shall see the
error of their way, and, like the
prodigal, return to their fathers
house. Many of our business men
have been closing up to attend the
meeting heretofore. We hope every
one will do so.

President Cleveland has started
on his summer vacation. He is go
ING up into the calm recesses of the
Adirondacks, where perfect quiet
reigns, where every prospect pleases
and only an occasional piscatorial
politician is vile. The president
might have gone to Newport or Sar-
atoga or IA score of fashionable re-
sorts to disport himself, but he is a
plain, old fashioned man and he
prefers the pleasures Of tho painless
woods. u is even said that he Is
fond of bacon and potatoes boiled
with the skins on. He likes green
corn that has been plucked in the
fields of the simple husbandman,
and he drinks his refreshments
straight from an earthern jug with
corn cob stopper. In other words,
his tastes are simple and democrat
ic, though he is not moved to tears

whether there was really a change

learning, being a fine Hebrew schol-
ar. This gentleman upon arriving
and having matters explained to
him, unrolled the parchment and
after carefully examining its con-
tents, pronounced the writing to be
In the Hebrew language, and to
have been written before the flood.
"The liquid used to write with"
said he, sis undoubtedly the same
as that used by the master work
men in putting their marks upon
the stones used in building Solo
mons Temple. Those marks ex-
list to this day." he continued, "and
their color, deep red, is the same
as the writing on this parchment"
1t is imperishable and the art of
making it died many thousand
years ago. This Hebrew gentle
man was convinced from his eXami-
nation of this strange roll of an
cient writings that they were I'M
dOubtedly analogous to biblical
works and while he was not prepar-
ed to say positively they were the
seven lost books of the Old Tesla
ment, he felt convinced the religious
world would have such light thrown
on their belief as to change it en-
tirely and perhaps bring to light all
the dark and mysterious passages
of the bible. The conversation
continued till late at night and
when the reporter left he felt
strangely confused and his feet
were hardly sensible to any touch
upon the earth as he walked. Mr..
Hadden left next morning with mis-
valuable treasures for the Smithso-
MAN Institution at Washington, D.
c., where they will be examined
and translated and given to the
world. Mr. Hadden's theory re-
garding the box is that when Nebu-
chadnezzar captured the ark of the
covenant, he did not destroy it, as
was generally supposed, but in or
der to secrete it he sent it to this
side of the Atlantic and its guar
dians in some unexplainable way
lost their lives in the cave where
he found their remains. One pecu-
liarity of the box is, though petri-
fed, it still retains the gold inlaid
both outside and'inside, and at one
end it has a curiously constructed
pedestal which is the mercy seat
spoken Of in the Bible.
The CITIZEN is not by any means
done with this wonderful matter, for
it has in its possession transla-
tions of some of the passages, kind
ly permitted by Mr.. Hadden, which
are startling. We have decided to
test them thoroughly through our
Hebrew friend so that the transla-
ton may be perfect and the appli-
cation made. Some of them I'M
doubtedly point to events that are
now transporting.

winter with US, and last week and
this we had st. Johns day and St.
Peters day, which are about the
same here as Christmas and New
Year in the United States. For
three or four days the fire crackers
and rockets, and Roman candles
were going off at all old hours of
the day and night, and paper ba-
looms were making glorious voy-
ages of discovery over the noun
tain tops aud far out to sea. 1t got
to be so that we feel badly if half a
day passes without the mild excite
ment of few rockets and pack of
fire crackers. Cousin Ella has
some friends. She says, They are
three little children just like Uncle
Clay's, land they come to see me under
the same sort of an umbrella, and
they are two girls and little boy"
Well, you ought to see your
Cousin Ella entertain those chill
dren, for you must know that they do
not speak a word of English, and to
tell you the truth, your Cousin
Ella does not speak Portuguese as
well as she speaks English. But they
get on some way. You just ought
to see how quickly your Cousin
Ella can get up when a pretty little
lizard crawls under her dress, or
when spider as big as your broth
er Andrews fist begins to prone

to come to see five little China-as-
tiers blooming on one puny stem.
