JUDGE CATE TALKS.

JoNEsBoRo. ARK, Aug. o3.--Judge Cate w;ts interviewed yesterday by representative of The Memphis Con- mercial concerning the convention. which nominated Featherston yester- day, and the probable results groning out of it. He said.
 Il was not well and did not attend the convention. am told it was har- monious and quiet, and of course we expected them to nominate Mir. Feath- erstnn. That was a foregone conclu- sion. l have heard one or two others would have accepted it, but I don't
 know as to this. Featherston's strength --wcll, he has no special element of
 strength more than any ono else they might have nominated, nor indeed any
 less. There is a certain amount of op- position to Democracy in the district,
 and any one they might pnt on the
 ticket would get it, whether known or unknown to fame.
 "As to the outlook well, guess I will Do elected, and by an increased
 majority. The opposition will make very
 BITrEx CANVASS, and will denounee the party and my self and friends, charging us with every conceivable enormity. In fact, they will make it hot for us with view of drawing public attention from the out rase perpetrated upon the people in lilseating me, and to cover up Mr. Featherston 's record in congress, espec- ially his course on the silver bill, and vote fol the force bill. The effect of this will be benefeiyl to Us, as it will stir lp our friends and they will 20 to the election to Il man, which Is our greatest need. We have clear major ity of 5000 in the district. At the last election there was the largest turnout ever had in ! national election, and vet there were 10000 votes in the district not cast. Of these at least 1000 were
 Democrats. But the fight they afe making on us now, if kept up, and no doubt it will be, will have the effect of bringing out a vote, aud we will profit by IL, The district is in good shape and We will gain largely in the upper coun- ties. Tue September election will of course show how the parties stand.
 Oh, yes. Eagle will he elected by a large majority--say about au, 600. Win l hold my seat2 Ishould certainly think so as there will be no excuse even for a Republican congress to intefcrc, There have been mo iiots, and there will be m absolutely unimpeachahle election in the district.

 Under the impression that we would have no trouble in getting the official returns of St. Francis county. in time for this paper, VIC patiently waited until our usual time for going to press
 We learned yesterday morning that it would be this Saturday. morning be- fore we could get the returns, 80 that Il we had delayed the paper for them, it would not have reached our readers until Monday. We at once concluded not to do so. The county gives Fizer and his ticket a majority, and count ing the illegally appointed precincts, went against the Fair Divide ticket.

Start AT Once.

One of the great things in life is to
get started. The shores are lined in
every direction with craft of all sizes
which seem unable to get themselves
launched; they are eager for the water.
but they fail to reach II. A host Of
men and women are in this position.
they are bewailing the fact that they are
not at work, and are going about IN
every direction seeking for openings,
but they find nothing to their mind.
Now, while il is true that there is no.
thing more difficult, in many cases, than
TO get a start in life, it very often hap
pens that the inherent difficulty of the
undertaking is immensely increased by
the lack of practical sense on the part
Of the man or woman who Is making

IT is a chance nevertheless. 1t takes
one out OF his stationary, waiting posi-
lion. gets him into the field, loosens his
limbs, and puts him into training for
whatever lies before him; and il often
happens that these very unpromising
chances are straight roads to fortune.
No man ever succeeds who refuses TO do
anything until he can do il on his own
terms; the man who succeeds is the
man who is willing TO do the thing on
any honorable terms. We must begin
as servants If we wish to end as masters
We must take what we can get if we
hope finally TO get what we want. The
