WHAT WE'RE EARTH

WHAT WERE EARTH?
Written for the Democratic Advocate,
BYJ ". sLAUGENHAUP.
What were earth with all its beauty
We're our faith not fixed on high?
For our fairest flowers blossom
Soon, alas! to fade and die.
There are joys that are eternal,
There are blessings yet untold,
Fairer, sweeter. purer pleasures
Than this fleetirg earth can hold.
Fading, fading from our vision
Pass away our brightest flowers,
Called to give sweeter fragrance
In the upper Eden bowers.
If. bereaved, the heart is bleeding.
Ifthe shadows are around,
Then the soul. by faith triumphant,
Has fadeiess hope beyond.
What were earth were there no heaven
Where our treasures may be laid?
Kept by blessed angel guardians
Never-nevermOre to fade.

Special Dispatch 10 The Appeal.
WAsnINGToN, March @.-Tho nomination
Of Wm. S. Upton today to be Marshal OF
the Eastern District Of Tennessee SHOWS that
the policy Of making removals ON charges Of
offensive partisanship is to prevail with this
Administration. There Is at present no va
cancy In the Eastern Marshalship, but Con-
gresham Evans had filed papers against the
present occupant, Mr.. Nixon. charging him
with using his Office for partisan purposes,
breaking up Republican meetings with the
aid Of his deputies and intimidating Rcpub-
licans in other ways. II Is upon these
charges that Mr.. Nixon l. removed.
Attorney-Gcnernl Miller stated today
20 some Tenncssccans that II any charges
were filed against the occupants Of office In
the Middle or Western divisions OF Temp
csscc, holding commissions under his de-
partmcnt, they would receive immediate
attention, and N the charges were proved,
removals and appointments would promptly
follow. Asa result Of this invitation, Il Is
understood that charges Of partisanship
will soon be filed against District Attorney
McCorry and Marshal Iancy. IL is claimed
that both OF these gentlemen have

all election frauds IN their districts, and that
this will be sufficient 90 secure their re-
moval. II this Is done Winstcad will sue
coed McCorry and Haynes will take lancy's
place. There seems TO be no doubt about
these two appointments. Mr.. Winstead
yesterday received a strong letter Of indorsc.

law partner Of Samuel w. Hawkins, who has
been a candidate for the District Attorney
