became linked. 1 would plead for her
love more passionately than ever man

innocently had fallen into Ceneri's
schemes how free from blame l was

was such that she was unable to refuse

then l would hear my doom from her
lips.
Having settled this l should have re-
tired to rest; but was in no mood for
sleep. Again and again l recalled her
last words and commenced one of those
weighings of hopes and fears which
always means self-torture. Why, if
Pauline had guessed the truth, had she
not asked me about it? How could she
spend hour after hour with me,
knowing she was my wife, yet not
knowing how she became SOP Would
her words admit of the Interpretation
that she dreaded what she had to learnp
Did she wish for freedom and continual
forgetfulness? So, on and on until 1
made myself quite miserable.
Many n man on the eve of learning
whether his love is to be accepted or
rejected has been racked as was that
night, but surely no lover save myself

mentous answer from the lips of a
woman who was already his wife.
The hour was late when l returned

at it l wondered if she, too, were lying

window was open vt the top. Before ]

picked a rose from bush in the gar,

open sash. She might find it in the
morning and guessing from whom il
came might wear it. 1t would be g
good omen.

Afar In the west the sun went down
In shimmering mist of golden rain,
AS the grumbling herd swept DER the crown
OF grassy mound on the rolling plain.

A Narrow Escape.

There came near being a row at a
caucus meeting of the legislative
members at Nashville few nights
since. Representative Fisk remark
ed that Senator Dorsey B. Thomas
was a man who always stood where
the wind blew the strongest-mean-
ing that the venerable senator gen
orally galloped with the gang, so
to speak. Mr.. Thomas denounced
Mr.. Fisk as a liar, and endeaVored
to strike him, but was prevented.
1t is SAID a pistol was heard to click
in Mr.. Fisk's pocket. Senator
Thomas is not exactly bad man
from Bitter creek, but he once
threatened to slap the face ola gen
tleman who a few years ago had a
considerable reputation as a grave
yard producer and man of peculiar
business habits. The gentleman
was Hon. Jesse James-the rea
James-of train robblng and mar
numbering fame. 1t might bC
proper to say that Mr.. Thomas
was not aware of Mr.. James identi
ty at the time he made the hostile
threat, as the famous knight OF the
road and the revolver was known t,
Mr.. Thomas and other citizens O
Humphreys county, where he liveC
two years, as Mr.. j. D. Howard. -Nt
doubt Hon. Dorsey B. often congrat
ulates himself that he did not carr,
his threat into execution.-Whig

Why TheY Left.

One reason for the sudden depart
ure of the great throng of office
seekers is that the few men who
seem to have influence with the new
administration with regard to the
patronage have made it one of the
conditions under which they should
render assistance that the appli-
cants 90 home and stay there. They
say they will not do anything for
an applicant as long as he hangs
around the hotel Hobbies. They
don't want to press a man for a
place who has become nothing
more than a hotel "bum," not fit
fer the appointment. 1t is the fate
of an office-seeker who hangs about
Washington long to get in with the
hotel loafers and hang about the
bar-rooms and Hobbies until he is
good for nothing. This has been
the case in former years, and some
of the red-nosed relics of eight
years are still hanging on as dis
NAL warning. To prevent repeti-
ton of these experiences members
are driving their friends home as
fast as they under pain of deser-
ton if they remain. Most of the
post office appointments that have
been made are men who have re
manned at home or have been driv-
en- there by their mem bers. Sever
al who were trying to take care OF
their cases were told point-blank il
they did not go home at once
nothing would be done for them

Rate of Taxation.

The following are the main fea
lures of the revenue bill which wa;
taken up in the house Tuesday anC
will probably pass:
The bill provides that the gener
al state tax shall be forty cents OIL
every 500 worth of property, thirty
cents of which shall be for state
purposes and ten for schools. Coun-
ty courts are authorized to levy an
annual county tax on every 500
worth of taxable property for gen
eral county purposes, not exceeding
three-fOurtbs Of the state tax in ad-
dition to taxes for general county
purposes, in which shall be includ-
ed all purposes except those herein
after named; they may levy a tax
sufficient for public roads, for
schools and to pay interest on exist
ing debts, and they may levy taxes
for ordinary purposes on MERCHANTS
and privileges not exceeding three
fourths of the rate of state taxation
on merchants and privileges, and
no more.
Merchants are required to pay the
same 0d UaIorena tax of forty cents
for state purposes, a privilege tax
of thirty cents for state purposes,
and a privilege tax of ten cents for
school purposes. 1t is provided
that the first named privilege tax
shall not be less than So, which is
to be paid when license is taken out,
the So to be a credit when the bal
anoe is paid. No regard to the
length of time business is to be tax
en- into account,

Sam Jones.

1t is unjust and cowardly to crit
icize and abuse a preacher under an
assumed name. The Nashville pa
pers are filled with cruel thrustS at
the evangelist Sam Jones. He
found many open places and crack
ed joints in the christian armor of
some citizens and pointed them out
and the Wearers were furious be-
cause they had been exposed in
their attempt to make God believe
they were real christians. They
Jump on him and stamp him, but
they take care to hide behind a
nom de plume so Gsd won't know
who it is that is trying to damage
His cause in Nashville. Sam Jones
said some foolish things, but he did
some heavenly things. "By their
fruits We shall know them" You
don't judge fruit tree by the gum
my excrescence that oozes from the
bark. Sam Jones suffers many use
less words to pass his lips, appar-
emily, but the sum of the influence
of all he says and does amounts to
the miraculous saving of souls.
Measure up the mans deeds and
count the souls he has saved and
see them piled high and God saying
"Well donep And compare this
mountain of good deeds and saved
souls with the little cynical gang of
cowardly backbiters who are abus-
ing him! God works in mysterious
ways his wonders to perform. Sam
Jones is one of Gods wonders.
When he said that some christians
~ didn't have sense enough to
know that it is meaner to get mad
than to laugh, he answered in adj
vance all the mean criticisms that
followed. Even this abuse is made
to work for good; it stirred up such
red hot interest that it was no troub-
lie to raise money to buy tent to
seat 10000 persons to hear him

The Commission Law Repealed

The Commission Law Repealed
Senator Lambs bill to repeal the
commission act which passed the
senate some four weeks ago passed
the house last Saturday, after four
days discussion, by the decisive
vote of Sc to sc. All manner of eff
fort was made to defeat it by delay,
or to substitute some other crazy
bill for it, and its opposers actually
concocted and tried to carry through
a scheme to override the will of the
representatives and postpone the
matter, with a view to it's ultimate
defeat. Several members voted fin
ally for repeal who had spoken and
worked to substitute another bill.
Thus has come to pass that
which the CITIZEN was foremost in
urging and predicting months ago.
The state is to be congratulated
that the returning sanity of her
statesmen has led them to rescue
her from the peril in which they
placed her, and the democratic par
ty can now hold its head up and
take its place, reunited and reinYig-
GRATED, in the line of progress and
development. 1t is human TO err
but manly to reform and make res
titution. The party in good faith
adopted q policy which upon trial
proved damaging and unwise, and
it acknowledges the error and steps
back into a correct attitude. We
consider this the wisest and best
thing that the legislature could
possibly accomplish.
There has been wonderful wax
ing up of the people on this ques-
tion and the repeal will be welcome
news to a very large majority of our
thinking people. We are now up
on an equal footing with the balance
of the south, having removed this
ipsuperable hinSrance to progress.
Let ne see to it now that the men
who came near Wrecking the party
are given back seats in the council
chamber.

The American reports Mr.. Black
burn as saying that the extortions
of the railroad "broke down a large
-four mill in Pulaski" Surely Mr..
Blackburn didn't say that. He
knew the mill was burned. The
Union also records an enormous err
ror. He said the Savage commits
sioners got 1927 votes and Bate
800. The facts are: Savage, 2O84;
Bate, 2757-leaving Savage 613 be
hind. Mr.. Sanders and Mr.. Black
burn both failed to state that the
republican commissioners did beat
the democrats 60 votes in a county
that is over double democratic.
The majority was not made up of
democrats either, for Hughes ran
l3I behind Blaine, while Savage
ran 692 behind Cleveland. Here is
an apparent scratch of S26 voters.
We don't care much for these fig
ures now, but we think it our duty
TO see that these palpable errors
shall not 90 down on the record I'M
cbalIenged. Ir. Blackburn is in
correctly reported, we doubt not,
Init as he did not see proper to cor
rect the errors, we concluded to do
so.
