cause of democratic rule. This is
tie fact of history and the logic of
events. If the south would 60 fol-
ward into the sunlight it must be
democratic To be republican
would be to move backward into
night. The defeat of the republi-
can party in November means is
disintegration and collapse. The
opportunity to administer the final
stroke of annihilation should be
welcomed in spirit of exultation
by every southern man who loves
the south. That is the first thing
in order. There must be no relent-
ing this year, no wandering after
false gods, no divisions in the
ranks, no trihing with providence.
The coup de grace must be inflicted
and so thoroughly that there shall
be no resurrection. The democrats
of the north have begun valiantly;
their comrades of the south must
show the same deter N ination and
elation. Not point must be lost

The American PARTY.

The national convention of the
new political organization known
as the American party will be held
in Washington on the 10th of Au-
gust. The principles of this as
enunciated by circular, is as fol-
lows:
They demand the care and re-
striction of immigration to persons
of good character, who are willing
to obey our laws and respect ouI
institutions; require an educational
suffrage and the extension of the
probationary period to fourteen
years at least; they declare in favor
of our glorious free school system
and would protect it in tact against
the assaults OF either open or secret
foes; they ask that American lands
shall be owned by American citizens
only; they favor the permanent and
most thorough separation of church
| and state, and demand protection Of
industrious Americans from the
curse of foreignism in whatsoever
shape it Rntagonizes our institu-
tions or threstens our national lib

1t is many years since the travel
er who was advised to 90 and see
India, remarked that he did not
care to do so, IS the government had
abolished hook swinging and wild
ow burning. But some of the in
nabitsnts of that vast peninsula are
still given to strange customs, of
which little or nothing is known to
Europeans. 1t seems that in the
Nizams dominions there is caste
in which this practice prevails.
When any of it's members dies a
flag is attached to q bamboo and
given to a man to hole over the
corpse of the deceased. Then hav-
ing retired to convenient distance
The men of the caste open fire on
the flag, probably by way of show
ing their distress and of helping
the soul Of The deceased on its
journey to some other world. But
not every body is William Tell,
and sometimes it happens that the
man holding the flag is shot. This
actually occurred on recent occa-
sion and notice was taken of it by
the Nizam's government. In the
Tarida, or government Gazette, it is
known to all concerned that no flag
held over corpse is to be fired at

How Often Should Cows be Fed

This question has received some
attention at farmers meetings and
dairy conventions during the past
season. Most people fodder three
times a day and same have even
given five fodderings during the
twenty four hours. But it is be.
ginning to be found out that the bo-
vine stomach, as well as others, de-
mands time in which to properly di-
gest food, and that feeding twice a
day produces as good, if not better
results than feeding oftener. 1t il

up her food and masticate it in lit.

then is prepared to enter the other
three stomachs and go through the
process Of digestion. All this takes
time and any interruption of the
process is an injury. Twice day

found often enough to feed COWS
that are confined. When IN pasture
they will spend the early part of the

Let Us Still be Solid.

The campaign, with the n0mina-
ton of the republican candidate for
governor, has fairly opened. The
democratic party OF Tennessee
should now grid up its loins and
proceed vigorously tC 40 battle.
There is nothing now for which to
wait. The leaders have been nam
ed and the issues have been joined.
1t has gone abroad that Tennessee
is a doubtful state. This should
act upon the democratic heart as an
inspiring tocsin. Let every demo
crat 90 to the front. Honor that
way lies. The war against the par
ty of spolistion is not over. A
spl1ndid victory awaits the demo
cracv IN November. When the day
OF election shall have passed and
the recko ning shall have been made
it must not be found that the enc.
nv has captured or crippled us.
Tie banner of the Tennessee demo
cracy, on that day, which will he so
memorable in the political history
of the country, must be far advanc-
ed. 1t is life or death struggle
with the republican party and the
democrats of the state of Andrew
jackson must win proud record IN
the crisis. Noblesse oblige. 1t Is
the same old republican party-vir-
ulent. destructive, sectional and ra-
nacior. 1t is still the party of
plunder, the machine OF the monop-
olist, the refuge of the bigot and the
ranscalllon. To restore 1t to power
in the nation would be to stop the

In a collision by two trains on the
Louisville d Nashville railroad
twelve miles south of Birmingham,
Ala, Tuesday morning, the Mem
phis Appeal thinks one of the no
blest displays of courage was made
OF which we have record. The
"cannon-ball' train, for New Orlens
driven by Engineer Nickolls, and
running at the rate of fifty miles an
hour, collided with an ''extra"
freight which was running off times
Mr.. Nichols, when he saw the dan
ger, sounded the alarm, reversed
his engine and stayed at his post
until the awful crash came, when
be and his fireman were buried I'M
der the debris of the wreck. This
timely action of the brave engineer
saved the lives of the passengers
that filled the coaches Of the train.
Such deeds as this deserve the high
est praise, and Nickolls' family
should be the especial care of the
Louisville & Nashville company and
the general public. They should
not be allowed to suffer.

ThA Christian Warfare,

Not long since | heard a christian
say that his religious life had been
one incessant struggle. 1t does not
seem to me that it ought always to
remain so. Effort will always be
necessary, but Christ tells US his
woke is easy and his burden is
light. In some way that must be
true; and thousands can testify that
it has been far easier life to lead
than they ever found life OF sin
or Indifference. All who have tried
both ways know it is far easier to
live whole christian than half
one. If we have a fire to make on
a cold morning it is very hard to lie
in bed thinking about it, dreading
it more and more. But if we step
out boldly without waiting to think
how bad it is going to be and how
very cold the weather is, and set to
work with a will, we find it really q
small matter. Our attention is di-
rected from the disagreeables and
fixed upon the matter in hand, and
before we have time to realize how
cold we are the trouble is over, the
fire is throwing out its heat and we
are warm again. So it is with duty
of every kind. No matter how hard
it looks to us, if we set about it at
once and put our will and energy
into it, with look upward for
guidance and help, the work is done
and we are often surprised to find
how easy it was after all, and what
a hugbear we had made of it. The
Lord always helps the willing
worker (if he don't get "set up"
and begin to think himself somebo
'dvl, and as he makes the effort
strength is given and he is carried
through. True, there are things
that are very hard at best, but even
these are far easier in the decided
than in the undecided way.
So of the things we must not do.
If we stand tamperlng with tempta-
ton, thinking how hard it is to be
debarred from this pleasure or from
that, the victory is already won Tor
the adversary.
Again there are two ways of liv-
ing, that of self-dependence and that
of dependence upon God. In one
we resolve, yet fail almost as ofte o,
until we grow discouraged and sick
at heart. In the other, knowing
how weak we are, we look to u ID
at once for strength to bear, and
help to do, and go on expecting vic
tory through him, and so the work
is done for US, and in US, and with
out the fruitless resolving and
struggling. That is simply because
God ID SO much stronger than we
are. We are not made to fight alone
and we need not. Paul says, when
am strong, then am / strong" and
so may we be-. A. 5. in Indiana
