Mcdowell Against the Third Party

The Toiler, edited by j. III. Nc
Dowell, one of the leaders in the old
prohibition fight, has the following
editorial this week regarding the
third party movement:
For the life of us we cannot see
what good can De accomplished for
the cause of Prohibition by either
Democrats or Republicans voting for
Mr.. johnson for Governor. No sane
man, in our opinion, believes he has
a ghost of chance for election. so,
WE'LL" said Prohibitionist to us,
1--WE may take off enough votes from
certain party to elect the candidate
of the other party" Well, suppose
you do, what have you accomplished?
To vote for one man on principle to
elect another you don't indorse is
nothing gained. Besides, if you are
a friend to prohibition, let us give
you our honest opinion, and that is if
Mr.. Johnson's vote is large enough
to cause the defeat of either the
Democratic or Republican party in
Tennessee, thousands of men in the
party so defeated, who voted with
you for the amendment last year
will be driven away from your cause
forever, and you will find that you
have injured prohibition instead of
building it up. Party ties are strong
er than prohibition principles with
nine-tenths of those who voted for
the amendment last year, and If they
believe it is injuring their party will
desert the cause forever. We believe
all reforms demanding the enactment
of laws can only be attained through
the dominant parties. If they can
not teach or educate men in these
parties to work for proper measures
ofreform, party ties are so strong we
cannot pull enough of them out of
parties in Tennessee to enforce these
4 measures. The amendment was vOt-
ed on last year, and majority of the
people said at the ballot-bOx, we don't
want prohibition. You Can't under
our Constitution, even start another
amendment for six years, and two
years and half more to reach vote.
Then, we ask in all seriousness, what
good can come of keeping the people
stirred up on it now in the excite
ment of hot political canvass, when
the chances are that men will be
made mad and driven from your
cause? Independent legislative tick
cts have been put out in Knoxville,
Nashville, Memphis and other points
without the remotest chance to elect
them. We asked a supporter of one
of these tickets if he expected to elect
any of them. "Oh no." he said,
"but we will draw off enough from
one of the parties to elect the candi-
dates of the other party" Now we
ask in all good conscience, if this is
principle, to vote for one man to elect
another, who is nota Prohibitionist?
We know there are men who will
differ with us, but having right to
,, our opinion we express it in all sin
cerity, that a political Prohibition
party in Tennessee will be a failure
, and greatly injure the cause they seek
,, to advance.

The Marriage of Chaska.
N. Y. Graphic.

All the contradictory reports con- cerning the marriage of Miss Cora Fellows to a Santee Indian named Chaska, or in the English equivalent, Samuel Campbell, have been put at rest by the authoritative announce ment that the Indian and his bride have been engaged as freaks for dime museum.
 It may be said that newspapers have no right to criticise or comment upon the private life of the people, but there are times and occasions when an exception to this very excellent rule must be made. We believe this is one of them.
 Mrs. Campbell is, according to all accounts, refined and we'll educated young woman. Her husband, accord ing to the report of the government agent at the place where the marriage took place, is an ignorant and not par ticularly industrious Indian. He has made himself suddenly famous by hav- ing captured the heart ot susceptible young girl, who conceived strange infatuation for him, and the two will now pose throughout the country in company with armless men, bearded women and living skeletons.
 Miscegenation is a violation of 8 natural law, and its consequence &C., cording to excellent authorities are frequently deplorable. Mrs. Camp bell has set an example which many & foolish girl with head full of TO- mantle nonsense would like to follow.
 Marriage is such sacred institu- tion, such an important part of the foundation of our social fabric, that it should be the principal theme for dis cussion between mother and daughter. The proper selection of husband and the proper selection of a wife are the things on which we depend for the future sons and daughters of these states, and we should use as much care in the union mentalities as in the se- lection for physical qualifications. MT. and Mrs. Campbell are freaks in truth, and it is not at all desirable that they should be emulated.

Following De Belle's example, made circuit of the basin and was soon on the edge of the trees. Then I walked on tiptoe through them, and soon came upon tumble-down shanty. I quickly drew back to the shelter of the trees and watched the house in- tently. l was dying with curiosity, but 1 was afraid to advance. Perhaps that shot had killed De Belle. be- gan to tremble and had half made up my mind to run away when I saw De Belle come out of the low door, way. He came straight towards me and ran out to meet him.
 "Did I not tell you to remain where I left you?" were his first words.
 paid no attention to the rebuke, but asked "Are they counterfeiters? Have you captured them?"
 "Yes, I've captured them, such as they are," he replied and thought at the time that I detected look of disgust in his face. "Come," he added, if you want to see den of counter feiters."
 I followed him across the open to the house. We entered, and I saw an old woman and crippled boy sitting on the floor. Plaster-of- Paris images were strewn about the place, and the woman and boy were engaged in mod cling other images in clay.
 This was the den of counterfeiters. The hammering on metal that had been heard was when the boy was making the molds in which to cast the images. The shot that had 80 startled me was an accident. De Belle had approached the place, and, looking through one of the windows, saw the true nature of the "den" at glance. In placing the revolver back in his pocket it had been accidentally dis charged. The woman and the boy were mother and son, and the boy sold the images in the cities.-Ne,o Yorb Word.

Chased by a Walrus.
Exchange.

One of the most novel encounters between man and wild beast ever re- ported is the following incident told by Captain Koldewey in "The German Arctic Expedition" It occurred on the east coast of Greenland:
 AS, with difficulty, we were follow ing the road, we were suddenly star tied by walrus breaking through the ice close to us. We fled as quickly as we could, for any attempt to defend ourselves would have been madness.
 But the walrus swam as quickly under the ice after us, breaking through it near us, evidently intending to swim in our company. We dispersed as much as possible, springing over the ice-crust, through which the alpen- stock constantly broke, followed by the rustling and Tapping caused by the monster. Had any one fallen in, it would have been impossible to have pulled him out again.
 Fortunately, near Cape Wynn, a screen of old ice relieved us from our pursuer. These creatures can break through ice six inches thick and strike the exact spot where they last saw their enemy.

 "Can't I go with you2"
 "No."
 I knew by the tone that this "no" meant no, and when saw him take a heavy revolver from his pocket and cock it I did not hesitate to obey. Telling me to remain perfectly quiet and await his return, De Belle started around the edge of the basin. He kept the trees between him and the smoke, and made circuit of the basin in or- der to reach the house, if there was one, behind the clump of trees I watched his figure until it disap- peared behind the trees at the far side of the basin, strained my eyes in the direction of the den of counter feiters, which I firmly believed that place behind the trees to be, and waited. The minutes dragged slowly along, and thought l had been there half an hour when I looked at my watch. It was just ten minutes since De Belle had left me. I was afraid to disobey him, but my curiosity was rapidly getting the mastery over my fear.
 Just then heard the loud report of . pistol. It echoed and re-echoed around the rocky basin, and for . mo- ment I thought that tho single shot had been answered by volley from . h1ndred muskets. Then all was still again. | could endure this no longer.

THE WEATHER FOR SEPTEMBER

The weather report for September pre-
pared by Prof. Snow, of the State Uni
versity al Lawrence. shows that the
month was remarkable for the large
amount of fine weather. The rainfall
was below that of any previous Septem-
Der on our record. The temperature
and wind velocity were below the aver
age. The first frost of the season oc-
CURED on the 2Sth, four days earlier
than the average date. 1t was a light
and harmless hoar-frost. The obserya-
tons taken at that peint tally almost ex-
actly with the record kept by the signal
officer. DR.. johnson. at this point, sum-
mary of which was given in yesterdays
EAGLE. These observations indicate
that the weather for the past month has
been no less remarkable for ITS uniform
ity throughout the state than conducive
TO health and comfort. 1t certainly could
not have been excelled by any latitude
or locality on earth. And it IS eth
with us
