EDITORIAL NOTES.


pl,.cted without opposition.
The Prohibitiouists Of Maine are
making trouble for Mr. Blaine.
II is said that Mrs. Cleveland,
The FIRST lady OF the land favors
Prohibition.
NJ. Pasteur says that men who
hshiiually use intoxicating spirits
are more difficult to cure if bitten by
a mad dog, than temperate man.
After a p:otractcd contest, Hon.
L. L. Anderson, of kosciuskO, was
dominated for Congress in the 9Th
district on tue ll9th ballot, over
Fewcll, Gibbs, KERN and Singleton.
The fact that the earthquake
was felt more sensibly at Vicksburg
than any other Mississippi town
nay be accounted for on the thcor,
that the crust between that place
and the domains OF Satan is right
smartly thinner there than at any
other place in the State.
Capt. z. h. Mayors, Of the Pasca-
gnula Dcmocrat-Star, is what may
he termed strict party man. He
declares he would vote for his
Satanic Majesty should he be nom
mated by the Democratic party;
therefore," he continues "he will
cast his vote for Col. Stockdale on
tue 9th of November"
Music that more gently upon the spirit
lies
Than tired eye-lids upon tired eyes
Balmy natures sweet restorer
seemed not half as sweet as the har-
monius strains borne 10 us on the
midnight air of last Tuesday. To
the festive serenadcrs we return
thanks and an Invitation TO come
again with harp and lutte and sweet
guitar"
The gubernatorial contest in Ten
nessee is one likely without pre-
cedent in the history OF electoral
contests. Alfred A. Taylor was
nominated some time since by the
Republicans for Governor. Since
then his brother, Robert L. Taylor.
was chosen by the Democrats as
their candidate, and it is now
thought that their father may &C
crpt the nomination OF the Prohibi
tionists, so that the governorship is
not likely to escape the Taylor
family this year.
Messrs. C. II. Rice and o. s.
Parker. late employees of II. Hitler 4
Co., Summit, are out in a card in
which they say any report to the
effect that they were discharged on
account of their Prohibition procliv
tiles, is unfounded and untrue, as
they left of their own voli,inn. The
Prohibition Mass meeting to assem-
bic at Adams Camp-ground next
Saturday tn consider the alleged
action of some of the Summit mer-
chants in this regard, should be sure
that they have reliable information
before they proceed to censuIe.

The anti Stockdale papers in the
9th district eat their crow with an
exceeding ill-grace. The editor OF
the Woodville Republican doesn't
seem to be able to gulp his down at
all. We could offer a wholesome
word Of advice to all such papers
for their future guidance, and it
would be thfs: just because you
happen To have your own personal
preferences, never abuse and attack
an opposing candidate for the nom-
ination TO such q degree that YOU
cannot support him at oil, or will
nave TO stuftffy yourself to do 50, in
case be 10 nominated. II 10 hard to
have to cat ones own words and
play the fool, and TO refuse to sup;
port the nominee one 10 asst be unloyal
to his party. Though II 10 not wise
for a man TO place himself in such a
position that he will hare 70 choose
hetween the two. we nevertheless
