is CENTS PER WEEK.


AT the present rate 1t won't be
many years before an honorable man
OF ability will be ashamed to offer
for the office of governor. That once
high Office has been greatly lowered
within the past four years and there
are uncomfortable indications that it
is likely to be still further degraded.
--ObiOn Democrat.
The Democrat speaks timely and
truthfully. No man of true worth
cares to enter q scramble for the
small amount of honor there is in it..
We believe, however, that the DEM
ocrat sides with many other papers,
that the man who can do the most
hustling ought to have the office, and
the press is educating the people to
the same idea, that they should look
only to the working candidates for a
leader and the sam" sentiment will
prevail in the convention this week.
Two gentlemen in the race have
made pot and kettle campaign, and
the proof is that one is no cleaner
than the other, yet the Democrat
would take one of the two as choice
of the field. The methods obtaining
In Tennessee politics are exceedingly
demoralizing and dangerous. When
q candidate is willing to spend more
than the salary of an Office to obtain
1t, he does not come under that scrip
tural commentator that "the labor.
er Is worth of his hire" and should
be let alone. 1t is this class that rule
in Washington now, and here we
are in good old Tennessee encOurag-
ing the same idea by running after
men who hustle and spend the most
money to obtain office. We should
look back to the methods that char
acterize our purest and best men. As
related of Haskell and Henry by
Col. Fleming, of the Knoxville SEN
tinei, when the party friends of the
two men were debating which one of
the two should run for governor,
Haskell settled the question by frank
ly admitting that Henry, by service
rendered, was entitled to the prefer
ence and he would yield, and no
campaign of the State was made eX-
cept by the press discussing the
merits of the men. But our latter
day Henrys and Haskells are kept
In the background by the hustlers
Tennessee has number Of able Dem
Ocrats who would reflect credit upon
the Office and the State. Will this
convention bring one of them to the
front, or will it undertake to reward
some one of the candidates for the
time and money spent in making the
campaign?

A ShnrrOM Story.

The town clock stopped at 4:30 Thurs.
day morning, and Mr.. Williams, ON going
to ascertain the cause, found that the
hands had been securely tied by strands of
Irvine and grass. The mischief had been
done by pair of English sparrows, who
had selected the angle formed by the
hands as n suitable site for II pSst. The
movements of the hands interfered with
their plans, and the birds evidently put
their wits to work To devise emedy that
would secure the stability of the nest.
Their first scheme was to wind the shaft
on which the hands are pivoted round and
round with grass and cords That failing,
they tied the hands To each other and to
the framework in such manner that it
took considerable time and great deal of
labor on Mr.. Williams part TO remove the
distractions. The engineering skill dis
played by the birds in accomplishing their
object showed that they possessed reason
ing powers OF no mean order, besides an
smount of industry and perseverance in
gathering the necessary material within
the few hours at their disposal that is al
most incredible -4Sarnia Observer.

Jonas Got Even.

Jonas Hill, of Fayette, was at one time 0
sutton for the hand of young lady whose
parents did not favor him. Her father did
not think that the social standing of Jonas
was such Us to render him fit match for his
daughter, but he told the young man that II
he would bring him high toned references he
you'd consider his claim. Jonas said moth
ing, but felt indignant, and resolved to have
his revenge. So he procured the best Of rec
concentrations as to his character and stand
ing in society. The old man examined tina
credentials and was satisfied. "Ali right, 7"
said he, you are welcome, walk into my par
lor, and your horse shall be stabbed and fed. 4"
Not by any MEANS" replied Jonas; my
horse is neither hungry nor dry, and | shall
never darken your doors any more. Good
day, sir. :" And, putting the whip to his
horse, he drove out of the door yard, leaving
the old gentleman glaring after him, dunn

Our Trouble With England.

The press is discussing very gen
orally the complication of the United
States with England in reference to
the Behring Sea fisheries. The New
York Tribune objects to the concen-
tration of powerful British naval
force on our Northern Pacific Coast,
yet 1t points out in forcible terms the
folly, the crime, of Il conflict of arms
between two nations which the world
regards az the special champions of
civilization and human liberty. The
Memphis Avalanche says the Tri-
bune overlooks the point made by
Senator Hawley and emphasized by
the Avalanche, viz. : Where are we
to get the means Of fighting for
eign war, if the Treasury is to be
bankrupted for decades to come by
pension looting? This is question
that must not be ignored in dealing
with the Behring Sea difficulty.

A few lines that should be carefully

ward off many diseases that are nat

would enumerate a few: Chills and

all malaria affections; indigestion,

the root of the evil as surely as sparks

DARLING.

A little maid with sweet blue eyes
Looked upward with a shy surprise
Because I asked her name
Awhile she bent her golden head
While DER her face soft bushes spread
Like some swift rosy flame;
Then, looking up, she softly said:
My name is Mammals Darling"
" Tell me your mothers name my dear''
And STOPPING low paused to hear.
The little maid seemed musing;
why, mammals names like mine, you know
But just because we love her so
We call her Mamma Darling"
" Tell me your papa's name,' cried;
The little maiden's eyes grew wide;
MY papn? Don't you knows
Why, ever since the baby died
Mamma and have always tried
To cheer him from his sorrowing;
AND my mamma and love best
To call him Papa Darling"
What did you call the baby, dear?"
The answer came quite low but clear:
The baby-oh, wonder what
They call him now in Heaven;
But we had only one name here,
And that was Baby Darling"
Swift years flew by, and once again
That little maid so tender
Stood by my side, but she had grown,
Like lilies, tall and slender;
THIS time twas that called her name
And swift the bushes grew like fame
At rosy mist of morning;
4 claSped her in my arms and kissed
My tender-hearted Darling.
