John M. Taylor al Pulaski.

The American is saying many
nice things about John M. Taylor,
and there is no harm in it. Mr..
Taylor is nice man, and nothing
else has or can be said about him,
and we are pleased to see the Ameri-
can doing good work for good man.
Democracy will hardly suffer by his
nomination, and while we have a
home choice, we are with the Amer
lean for any pure man who can be
nominated. We have got fight on
our hands in the coming campaign,
and must have strong man with
clean record to win. We are for De-
mocracy in this fight and not the
man. In view of the situation at
Washington and good news from the
West offering help, we cannot afford
to take any risk of turning the State
over to the Republicans this year.
Every patriotic Democrat, if he be
true to himself, his family, his coun-
try and reform, will let personal
preference and class favOrites sink
into insigniflcance and go for pure
Democrat who can lead the aggreS-
sive hosts without having to defend
his own Democracy or his public rec
ord. There may be other good men
found, but we are candid from a gen.
eral view of the situation, in the
belief that John M. Taylor is the
only candidate before the people who
should receive the nomination. But
here is what the American says
about his Pulaski speech, and such
reports are heard from every place
where he speaks:
PULASKI, July L. Special. T.
John M. Taylor made here to-day
one of the most taking and adroit
political speeches ever heard here.
He had a good crowd, that gave him
good attention. Evidently Col.
Taylor is Democrat, not of the
"tin-horn" and ''drop a-nickel-in-
the-slOt' variety, but rather of the
crock bottom and "upper.case"
kind. He paid his respects to the
Republican party, its past, its broken
promises and untitled obligations, the
Federal election bill, the protective
tariff and such other iniquities. He
declared in favor of free coinage.
Reading the platform or the ALI
ance, he said, as a Christian and
Democrat, he could endorse it all,
and he didn't see how any Republic
can could get membership in the Or
der. He urged the Democrats to
turn out and vote for the man who
might be nominated, whatever
might be his name, and said if he
were the nominee he would visit
every county in Tennessee to repeat
the warning.

The Cause of Poor Health

Is often found in the neglect of ones
own self. A light cold or slight head
ache is treated as not requiring much
attention; the assumption being that
they will soon pass off, and it is only
when case of lull-fiedged sickness de-
velops Itself that the consequences Of
that neglect are fully realized. AS a
preventive and positive cure for Conghs
Colds, Hoarseness, Splitting of blood,
Asthma, Pains in the Chest and first
stages OF consumption, use Eilert's Elk
tract of Tar and Wild Cherry, and for
sick Headache, Torpid Liver, Dys-

Some of our exchanges who spoke
out bravely in the opening of the
campaign favoring a clean, clear
headed man for governor, clear of
flies and frills, are now lecturing
such papers as are engaged in ven
.ilating the boosted claims and records
of certain gentlemen who are running
over the country clamoring for the
nomination-the very kind of men
that these moralizing brethren adj
vised the Democracy to let alone. If
all the papers in the State had acted
as these lecturing brethren are now
counseling, how would the people
have known anything about the
fitness or qualifications of candidates?
Such a man as Boss Quay, If DEM
ocrat. might sail through under their
ewes as an angel, and the people
wonld be none the wiser. They
attempt no defense Of the candidates
assailed and offer no testimony TO
disprove the records. but feign dis
belief in the charges. How are we
to purify politics under such advlces

Floating Islands of the Aztecs.

Probably the most curious craft-if we
may call it a craft-that man ever con
structed or handled was the floating island
(Chinampas) of the Aztecs They were the
outgrowth of necessity.
Being environed by enemies who occu-
pied the main land Che Mexicans were
obliged to construct these boat gardens or
subsist without fruit and vegetables. With
branches, roots and other light materials
they made a float; on this they placed
weeds and earth dredged from the bottom
of the lakes. Some of these islands were
forty EIGHT feet long, eighteen broad and
raised about a foot above the water. These
floating gardens had one great advantage
if the proprietor's neighbors were unde-
sirable, or if the proximity of an ill kept
field endangered his own crop, he could
pull up anchor and jumping into his
canoe tow his real estate into a more de
sirable locality. A few years ago there
was natural floating island drifting about
Greenwood lake. 1t has since become fixed
near the lower end.-Rudder.

Still there is no agreement between
the conferees On the Silver bill. 1t
is tie, Senator Jones, Republican,
from Nevada siding with Senator
Harris and Representative Bond, of
Missouri, in favor of free coinage
(the Senate amendment), Sherman
and two other Republicans holding
out for compromise-anything TO
defeat free coinage and keep the
circulating medium under the control
of the gold bugs. If Mr.. Jones holds
out under the caucus lash being so
freely applied by the gold sharks,
free coinage will yet pass and put
Mr.. Harrison to severe test on the
question.

Some More Blaine Sense.

The Americans Washington cor
respondent says Secretary Blaine has
written n letter to Senator Frye
chairman of the Senate Committee
on Commerce, earnestly advocating
large appropriations for the perma-
nent improvement of the Mississippi
levee system, and expressing hope
that the Senate will agree to such APP
preparations.
The writer further says Senator
Frye denies having received such a
letter, but if not he will certainly re.
ceive it tomorrow. If Mr.. Blaine
continues pressing such policies as he
has started out on he will soon be-
come a very popular man in the
South and West. If the Reed, Me-
Kinley, Harrison conspirators would
pursue the course lately marked out
by Blaine, il would go further to-
wards breaking up the solid south
than all of the election laws they
could pass in ten years.

About After Dinner Speaking.

"Stop when you get there" is an ancient
form of schoolboy irony, and it applies ex
cellently to the occasional orator. Wher
he has excited a laugh, or tribute o.
hearty applause, then he may count him
self happy in being through with his task
He has assuredly got there"
But If he does not in short measure make
such an impression he will do well to bring
his speech to close with the same inexora
BILE promptitude before his hearers have
time to vote him bore, which they will
most certainly do, secretly, if not openly.
The fortunate orator is he to whom
speech making is such second nature that
he can follow Rousseaus advice for com
posing love letter, and begin without
knowing what he is going to say, end with
out knowing what he has said. "-Youth's
Companion.

1t seems to be d settled fact, at
least the charges have been proven
and 90 undenied or controverted,
that two of the prominant candidates
for governor are professional lobby
lists of dangerous character to the
public interests and that one of them
has been guilty of engineering cor
rupt legislation. Now will the
Democratic convention commit the
folly of selecting either one, with
certain defeat staring the Democracy
in the face? Remember that Kelley
is in the ring, and it will take a
clean man to beat both the prohibit
tionists and Republicans. Senti-
mentality will not win this time.

Sir Edwin Arnold and n Christian Epic.
Letters from Toxic give some interesting
facts about Sir Edwin Arnold's new poem,
upon which he has been working for six
months. He lives in the Japanese quarter
and has adopted the native customs in
many respects. When he comes in from a
walk he leaves his shoes at the door and
enters the apartments In his stockings.
lie has also become expert in writing ia
panese In the native STYLE and by the aid
of two pretty Japanese girls he has mas
tered the language, which he speaks fluent
ly and writes with ease. 1t was only by the
polite fiction of serving as an English tutor
to these two young women that he was
permitted TO live In the native quarter.
Sir Edwin has written comparatively lit
tie for his newspaper while In Japan. All
his leisure has been spent on his new epic
of Christianity, which he has been turning
over in his mind for the last twelve years.
He conceived 1t before he wrote The Light
of ASIA" and subsequently he travelled
through the Holy Land, visiting all the
places memorable in sacred story. He has
seen all the places which he describes in
his poem. This poem consists of 6O,00o
lines. II is written in blank verse and is
relieved 10y excellent little lyrics.
His study Of Mary Magdalen is said to be
a fine piece Of work The poem will be

One of the worthiest philanthropies in
London is the Children's Happy Evening
association; its mission is explained in its
title. The work of this association has
been rewarded with flattering success, and
now new series of entertainments has
been devised for the delectation of boys.
The first of these entertainments was given
at the Stanhope street school, under the
patronage Of the countess Of Iddesleigh.
1t began with magic lantern exhibition,
and the 900 boys present were wild with
delight; then followed music by the Mary
lebone amateur banjo band, and singing
and recitations. When the health of the
countess of Iddesleigh was proposed every
little fellow stood up in his chair and
shouted like Trojan. It's estimated that
these entertainments provide pleasant and
profitable evenings for 100000 little folk
who otherwise would be running at large
in the public streets.-Cor. Chicago News.

There may be cases where human aid
would be powerless to save from death a
man caught in quicksand. A case which
almost proves this occurred in Milton

into quicksand up to his knees. The wind
lass rope was promptly placed around him
but it was soon discovered that if the effort
to pull him ont were persevered in his legs
would be torn off. Accordingly an attempt
was made TO dig him out, and men with
shovels worked uninterruptedly for six
hours to accomplish. that end, which was
successfully achieved.-Hamilton Globe
