RADICALS AND THIRD PARTY
The Two Organizations Fixing
Up a Deal In Tennessee.

NASHVILLE, Aug. 9,--The state dem
ocratic convention was called to order
at noon today. There is nothing to do
except nominate Judge Peter Turney, the
only democratic candidate for governor,
thereby ratifying the action of the pri-
maries. Governor Buchanan, the alli-
ance democrat, withdrew his name from
consideration by this convention several
days ago, it being evident that Turney
had secured a majority of votes at the
primaries. 1t is thought the absent del
egates, about 500 or 600, are opposed
to Turney and will not support him if
Coy. Buchanan will run as an independ-
ent.
a statement from Knoxville this morn
ing which may have some political sig
nihcance, was that efforts are to be
made to have the alliance support Win
stead, the republican candidate for gov
ernor, and in return the republicans will
support alliance candidates for the leg
islature. Thus IN effort will be made to
control that body and, if successful, Buc.
hanan is to be elected to the United
States senate.

HOLMAN ON TIKI: HOUSl: OF
REPRESENTATIVES,
a Mig Reduction Made, All Things
d---EliIninating the
River ana HarbOr BiII, The To
tai is EiEv Millions Under That
of the Last House,

WASHINGTON, Aug. 9.-By author
ity of the house of representatives Mr..
Holman prints a speech in the Congress
sional Record today dealing with the
appropriations made at the last session
OF congress, from democratic stand
point. Mr.. Holman says:
"The appropriations made at this ses-
sion of congress, including permanent
appropriations, show arc duction of$33,
500, ,291, under the appropriations made
at the last session of congress, or a reduc-
tion equivalent to 500, 900 to each con-
gressional district in the UnitedStates;but
for purposes of comparison the amount
of the river and harbor bill, $21, 154, 4,613,
should be deducted from the appropria-
tions of this session for the reason that
no river and harbor bill was passed at
the last session of congress, against the
appropriations of which those made at
this session should be legally contrasted.
Without the river and harbor bill, the
appropriations of this session are $751;
6S2,909 less than the whole appropria-
tions made at the second session of the
hfty-first congress"

CANADA BACKS DOWN.
The discriminating Rebae Sys-
tenn In Canal Tolls Abolished,

OTTAWA, Ont, Aug. 7.-Just as the
United States has levied its retaliation
rifle and drawn bead on Canadian
canal discriminating tolls, the Dominion
government, following the prudent ex-
ample of Davy Crockctt's coon, says
Don't shoot; I'll come down"
At the cabinet meeting yesterday Pre-.
mier Abbott, Secretary of State Chap
leau, Minister of Customs Bowel Min
ister OF Agriculture CARING, Messrs.
Smith and Quimet being present, it was
decided to abolish the rebate of Is cents
a ton on grain shipped by the st. Law
renee canals to Montreal, and to levy on
American and Canadian vessels alike a
toll of 20 cents ton on all grain pass
ing through the Weland and st. Law
renee canals. whether bound for ports in
Canada or the States.
This removes the cause of the United
States complaint of discrimination. But
it does not reduce the rate American yes
sells must pay. 1t simply, by allowing
no rebate. in effect makes the Canadian
craft pay more.-N. Y. World.

Church Collections.

Putting a collection basket under n
mans nose at church is mild sort of
bulldozing that keeps great many peo-
pie away from divine services. A man
hates to put in less than he sees his,
nelghbors contribute, and thus he is
forced into the position of being COM
PEELED to give something, and gives
about what the rest do whether he can
afford it or not. There are certain peo-
pie who stay away from church because
they do not feel able to contribute. and
some modification of the present system
of taking collections is very desirable
In England all embarrassment is re-
moved by law compelling the use in
the established church of certain kind
OF receptacle for taking the collection.
1t Is bag six or eight inches deep. the
mouth fastened to a ring, which is at
the end of a handle long enough to en-
able the collector to reach the end of the
pew without entering.
You hold your contribution in your
hand, put your hand half way down the
bag and let the coin drop, and unless
you choose to tell nobody will know
what you have contributed, for a cop
per falling into the bag makes as much
noise as sovereign. The custom is a
wise one, for it prevents the rich from
making parade of his riches and the
poor from being ashamed of his poverty.

A Sad Sight.

A scene which turns the mind of thu
thoughtful individual toward those mis-
slonaries who are trying to convert the
Hottentots to long clothes and religion
came to the eyes of the Rambler day
or two ago. Two boys in rags with
faces wan and pinched with hunger, one
about fourteen and the other perhaps
ten years old, both drunk, so drunk in
fact that they lurched against each
other, were standing on corner near the
city hall. The boys We're jostled every
now and then by the crowds of passers
by. They minded it not, for they were
IN the middle of a maudlin quarrel.
Profanity of the most lurid type came
from their lips. The smaller bow had
drawn a jackknife which he held with
the large blade open in his hand. His
face bore an expression of bloodthirsty
hatred which belonged to murderer of
four times his age.
"Y' leave me alone or I'll jab y wild
dis" he said warningly to the larger
lad, and the look which accompanied
the remark was a guarantee that the
words were not an idle threat. The
elder boy stepped forward and as he did
SO the small lad raised his knife. Dis
erection, that universal better part of
valor prevailed on the part of the elder
boy and he staggered away leaving the
smaller drunkard master of the field
Rambler in Brooklyn Eagle.

The Ideal Woman,

The ideal woman VIII be far more
free, IN the right sense Of freedom, than
women are now. Love will be free. bat
freedom will mean a deliyerance from
inner bondage, rather than from outpI
social restraint. Very much of the tall
at present about slavery and bondaa,
means merely that the person is hin
dered from unlimited paasion-or waste
of affection. The only love that is worth
our while is that which beauties, and
puriiies and helps. When you will use
the word love in that sense it cannot be
too free
The coming woman, do not doubt
Will have great purpose and strong will
to help; and let me assure you that
there Is no power ever manifested IN
this world like that Of a clean hearted
wholesome woman. She will not pros,
tItute her body in marriage, nor out OF
1t, and marriage will not mean power tt
any one over the kody and soul O.
another. Bondage that DESTROYS is sub
serVIence to forms and pretenses anu
fashions. Over half of woman's time
and mind is given to matters of dres.
and social rivalry Out of this we shall
rise and are slowly rising. There will
be transition era OF unstable views o.
mdIvli Ial duty and social duty; but the
hnallty win be that honorable character
and beauty Of spirit will win the dav.
