MAKE IT AGGRESSIVE.

Huntingdon Democrat: What we
want to see in Tennessee this year is
a courageous campaign upon the
part of the democracy. We want no
faltering, no chickering's or conten-
tons, no sleeping on the post ofduty,
but a brave, manly meeting of the
enemy upon every part of the
ground. Tennessee is democratic
and largely so, and we want to see a
quietus put to the saying that she is a
doubtful state. This can be done and
must be done. Let every democrat
do his duty aud the result will be
more than satisfactory.

Hon Joel B. Fort says he fears the
outcome Of the candidacy of Mr.. j.
O. Johnson, the prohibitionist. In
Middle Tennessee many votes will be
lost to the democracy unless some
thing is done, as several thousand
men will vote the prohibition ticket
from a sense of m0rality.-Memphis
Scimitar.
AS this is one of the dormant senses
inI thegreat bulk ofRepublican voters,
itnaturally follows that these several
thousand men will have to come
from Democratic ranks, if they
materialize. Every Democratic vote
given to the prohibition nominee is
that much aid to the Republican
candidate, and it will require a
microscope which would magnify
several million times to discover any
morality about that.

Mr.. SNoDGRAss' speech of with
drawal from before the Congressional
Convention was truly patriotic and
creditable, and rang with true and
faithful Democracy. There is no
questioning the fact that it elevated
Mr.. Snodgrass in the estimation of
every Democrat who heard it. Had
it been made about $40 ballots earlier
than it was, it would have gained for
Mr.. Snodgrass vastly more strength
than it did. Mr.. Snodgrass and his
friends knew from the announce
ment of the first ballot that he had
not the slightest shadow of a chance
for the nomination, and there was
absolutely no other course open to
him. While some of our exchanges
are sounding the praise of Mr.. Snod-
grass SO loudly, they should not for
get that to Mr.. S. and his friends is
also due the three days dead lock of
the convention. Had Mr.. Snodgrass
held the majority of the convention,
he and his friends would have used
it in precisely the same manner that
the Bates strength did.

THE SCOTTISH HOME RULERS.


 England hasn't trouble enough with Ire land, so the Scottish Home Rule association has been formed and is going to make what trouble it can. It seems to be a powerful association and will doubtless be heard from.
 The Scots who want home rule have some pretty reasonable and weighty complaints. For instance, they say that the union of Eng land and Scotland in Queen Anne's reign was forced upon Scotland by corrupt means, against her remenstrance and resistance. Scotland was then free from debt; it is now joint obligant in 8 debt of nearly thirty seven hundred million dollars incurred by wars against the enemies of England. Before the union Scotland had free trade; England loaded her with duties and inposts. The union brought schism into the national church. Scotch law is set at naught. Sect land is more heavily taxed than any other part of the United Kingdom, receives fewer and smaller grants for local and provincial purposes, has less than one fourth as much spent upon salaries in the civil department in Scotland as is spent for like purposes in Ireland, and the expenses of legal adminis- tration in Scotland are only about one-fourth those in Ireland. The abject poverty of the people in some parts of Scotland is attributed to the English rule. The extension of the deer forests, the encroschments of landlords and sportsmen upon the commons and rural ways are encouraged by English legislation and maintained by the influence of English. men, while the treasury will not authorize the spending of penny to defend the right of the public against aristocratic trespassers. Another trouble is the constant migration to London of Scottish men of talent The no- bility and gentry of Scotland reside there be- cause it is the political capital and there art- ists and men of letters follow them, reducing Edinburg to the position of provincial town.
 With Scottish agitation for home rule and an Irish agitation too England will have her hands full. And by and by she will proba- ply have to let the agitators have their way.

The True Story of the Defeat of the

The True Story of she Befeat of the
 Fren ch Imperial Guard at Waterloo.
 IFrom the Leisure Hour.l
 On April 20, 1914, Napoleon remained alone in his cabinet during the forenoon. He had appointed midday as the time of his de- parture. As the hour approached, the troops of the Imperial Guard were drawn up in the courtyard of the palace. An immense con- course from the surrounding country had collected to witness an event which to this day is remembered with more interest than any of the older historica! associations of the palace. On arriving at the landing of the grand staircase, he stood for a few moments Every eye was fixed on him. At any other time shouts would have rent the air. But there was silence, almost like the selemnity of religious awe. Many of the veterans bowed their heads, and tears rolled down their furrowed cheeks. Suppressing his own emotion, the Emperor descended into the courtyard, and as he approached the soldiers the drums beat the accustomed salute. By 6 gesture the Emperor arrested the martial sound, and amid breathless silence he spoke with clear voice and firm:
 "Gsnerals, officers and soldiers of the Old Guard, I bid you farewell. For fve-and- twenty years have ever found you in the path of honor and of glory. In these last days, as in the days of my prosperity, you have never ceased to be models of fidelity and of courage. Europe has armed Kagainst us. Still, with men such as you our cause never could have been lost. We could have nain- tained civil war for years. But it would have brought misery on our country. have, therefore, sacrificed our interests to those of France. I leave you. But do you, my friends, be faithful to the new sovereign whom France has accepted. The happiness of France was my only thought. It shall ever be the object of my most fervent pray CTS. Grieve not for nay lot. I shall be happy as long as I know you are so. If I have consented to outlive myself, it is with the hope that may still promote your glory. I trust to write the deeds we have achieved together. Adieu, my childreni I would that could press each one of you to my heart. Let me at least embrace your general and your eaglei"

 The Soldiers exemption act in Massachu- setts-the act which exempts veterans from competitive examination for appointments in the civil service-has not worked exactly as some expected it to- It has reduced the num- Der of veterans actually appointed about 75 per cent. The Civil Service Record shows that under the law, ss it stood before the sx- emption was passed, forty-nine veterans were appointed to desirable positions during the preceding year. They then had ,as they have always had, 8 preference among candidates who passed an equally good exaaination. During the six months since they were ex- empted from competitive examination only sixteen have received appointments, and all but four of these have been in the prison ser vice, "where, owing to the small pay and the necessity of residence in the institution, it was impossible to get enough competitors to make an eligible list." The reason for this change in the fortunes of the veterans as ap- plicants for appointments is that the soldiers generally believe that the civil law is broken down, and that appointments are to ae secured now only by influence" Conse- quently fewer veterans apply for examination than formerly.
 The use of paper fabric for building pur- poses is now advocated by some builders on the following grounds: First, continuity of surface-that is, it can be made in rolls of almost any width and length, is flexible, or by glueing several layers together may be made stiff, and will stop the passages of air, because there are no joints; second, it has no grain like wood, and will not split; third, it is not affected by change of temperature, and thus has an advantage over sheet metal as roofing material; fourth, whereas in it's nat ural condition it is affected by moisture, it may be rendered waterproof by saturating with asphalt, or by variety of other meth ods; fifth, it is non-resonant and well fitted to prevent the passage of sound; sixth, it is non-conductOr of heat, and can also be made of uncomfortable material, like asbes- tos, CT rendered fre-resisting by chemical treatment. The combination of paper with other substances and sohdifying the mass by pressure renders practicable the production of material capable of replacing wood for many purposes and not least among it's characteristics of adaptibility is the ease with which it may be made into sheets of any width and thickness, that will not warp or shrink from heat, cold or dampness.
