Microbes.

Investigation into the causes OF various
contagious diseases has established The
fact tbsi these disorders are brought about
by the action Of microscopic forms OF lie; !;
or, to adopt the term Invented abon' ten
yesrs ago by an enlnent btraxbou'g physr
eisn, by microbes Ia number OF ins'sn-
ces nvestisation has determined The form,
method aud action OF these inhniresimAl
germs The microbe which produces Ash
a,ic cholera can readily be disiinsu'sed by
scientific investigators from the microbe
which produces pulmonary consump-
ton OF hydrophobiA, Not only are there
differences in method and operation, aud
not only have these microbes been diseov-
cred, but specimens Of them have been
secured and in proper environments have
been permitted to develop themselves for
the purpose Of allowing the observer to
draw conclusions - TO the BEST way IN
which their notion on the physical system
can be checked.
TO prevent the access Of microbes is .
physical impossiblity. The air We breath
is full Of them; it is recognized that they
sre the scavepgers OF the world. removing
from it by their action waste material
which il would otherwise be difficulty to
dispose Of. Even 10 the human body they
have undoubtedly important functions to
perform 10 the nsintance Of life. Thus
the ordinary microbe is not only harm
less but useful entity. What we have to
guard against are those microbes which
work to the detriment Of the animal sys
TEN.
Not long ago the impression prevailed
that it might be impossible to neutralize
the action Of these germs Of disease by
means Of vaccination, and although it is
possible under certain conditions to thus
put check upon their 'ctivity, yet there
are many diseases where careful investigs-
tion has not yet shown any way in which
this can DO done. Thus In the case OF pri-
mary consumption no means has yet been
discoveredof making effective any system
OF vaccination. A more hopeful remedy
is in the possible discovery OF means OF
discriminating these germs by the use OF
substances which while deadly to the mi
crobes would be harmless to the human
being. Thus it has been demonstrated
that one form OF microbe which has been
secured and srtifcially cultivated with
great success. is quickly e1terminated
when brought into contact with silver. In
a glass or esrthen vessel their development
will 20 on with great rapidity, but in a
silver cup the process not only ceases. but
the microbes themselves give up that spe
cies OF life which they possess. II is by
no means improbable that Q more thorough
study OF the subject will reveal many sub
stances which are peculiarly deadly to
these different forms Of germ life, but
which can be taken in the form OF medi-
ciues by human beings with impunity
The Boston Herald says the discovery aud
application Of these would be benefit 10
the human race by the side OF which the
greatest inventions OF modern times would
sink into insignifcance.

and from Gov. Taylor's positive and
declaration, that he made no
reference whatever to prohibitionists
in speaking OF the third party" as he
was at the the time humorously dis
cussing the Belya Lockwood party,
The Democrat can substantiate this
upon the authority of one of its own
representatives, who was present ard
heard the governors speech, The
reference TO. the third party" was dis
tinctly made in the same connection
and in the sellsame sentence with the
humorous structures upon the wo-
mans rights party, which may. as APP
propriately as any other, be termed
the third party. Ii the governors re-
ference to the third party" was mis-
understood it was not the governors
fault, and it certainly is but fair thai
those papers which have been indus
trious in giving the story circulation
should be equally Jealous in sending
the truth out to correct the error. Gov
Taylor's emphatic denial, at all event
is, or should be, conclusive. The mat
ter is hardly worth the amount O
comment it has received, but the cam
paign should begin with no misundel
standings, and should not be diverte
on false issue.-NaShville Democrat.

Our Nominee.

The Congressional Convention OF
Democrats at Morristown last Tues
day was largely attended by represen-
tative men throughout the district.
Messrs. D. P, Wilcox, Of Carter, w. S.
Dickson, Of Hamblen, and w. j. Nc.
Sween, Of Cooke, were put in nomina'
ton. After the first ballot the names
Of Messrs. Dickson and Nc. Sween
were withdrawn and Mr.. Wilcox was
nominated by reclamation. He came
before the convention and accepted
denomination in splendid speech.
He promised to do all in his power to
carry the standard Of his party to VIC
tory, and said il he failed he would die
in the last ditch. The party
I has made no mistake in the nomina-
ton of Mr., Wilcox. He is man
without spot or blenish on his person
al or private record. He was Demo
crat before the war, q gallant Unien
soldier during the war, but he quit
fighting when the war was over and
has ever sinse tried TO build up his
country. He has never faltered OF
Jagged in the support of the Demo
cratic party and its principles. He is
an able and fearless debater and we
predict will make the best canvass
that has been made in the district in
years. Every Democrat can support
him, and every Democrat ought to dc
it. as we'll as every other man who be
lieves that the laboring interests of The
country should be relieved of tn,
burdens of unequal and unnecessar,
taxation.

TIMES CHANGE

And so do customers. Thirty years
ago the merchant went to market
twice a year, laid in what it would
take to do him for half the year, would
then return and sell his goods, wares,
etc, as he could for cash, trade and on
long time, sometimes waiting pa
tiently for two or three years for his
pay, but then he got large profits
But now the merchant buys whenever
an article is running short, and the
watch words are short profits, quick
sales, short time and spot cash; ant
doubtless the latter plan is much thu
best, for both buyer and seller.
