CRISP AT NASHVILLE.
He Shows Up the Beauties of Democracy

He Shows Up the Beauties of Democracy
and Fallacies of Populism.
NASHVILLE, Oct. 25.-An immense
audience greeted Speaker Crisp to-
night. A torchlight procession of
Democratic clubs escorted Mr.. Crisp
to the Vendome, which was packed to
OVERLOOKING and hundreds were turned
away. Mr.. Crisp was introduced by
Hon. u. B. Cooper and spoke for two
hours to an intensely interested
audience, which gave him
the profoundest attention. He had
come to discuss some of the things the
Democratic party had done, to men>
ton some of the things it hopes to do,
and to give some reasons why in the
approaching election allegiance should
be given to the interests of the Demo
cratic party, national and state. The
Democratic party is responsible for
federal legislation, and as one of its
representatives he did not seek to
avoid responsibility. Mr.. Crisp then
reviewed the acts of the Democratic
congress, spoke of the disturbed con
dition of the country financially and
industrially, referred to the panic and
traced it back to its source.
In regard to the financial legislation,
he discussed the action OF congress in
repeating the purchase clause of the
Sherman act, and said that candor
compelled him to state that the result
was a great disappointment to him.
II have believed always" he said, "and
l believe yet that the majority of the
American people, irrespective OF party,
demand a law which shall continue
the coinage of silver for the use OF
the people. But this is a
great country with a large pop
ulation and laws must be the result OF
compromise, and every man must not
expect to get what he wants done.
The Democratic party, | believe.
without one exception approved OF
bimetallism, some perhaps one way,
some perhaps to reach it another.
This discussion will go on, the people
will be reached, their representatives
will have free coinage of silver.
Mr.. Crisp then said the Populists
would financially swamp the country
if the bills the congressman of that
party had introduced into congress
would become laws, and also with the
extreme tendencies of the Populist
party. The tariff law was then dis
cussed, the savings under it to the
people pointed out. the diminu-
ton of taxes specified and the revi-
val of trade and industries, the re-
tnrn of cOnfidence and the better con
dition of the country in general
ascribed to the passage of this law
The speech is regarded as the stroug.
est made in this city in years. Mr.
Crisp goes from here to Alabama to
make few speeches and from there
to West Virginia.

Americas Dead Sea.

Medical lake, so called on account of
the remedial virtues of its waters, stu
ated on the Great Columbian Plateau,
in southern Washington, at an altitude
of two thousand three hundred feet
above the level of the Pacific, is the
Dead sea of America. 1t is about a
mile long, and from a half to three
quarters of a mile in width, and with a
maximum depth of about sixty feet.
The composition of the waters of this
Alpine lake is almost identical with
that of the Dead sea of Palestine, and,
like its oriental counterpart, no plant
has yet been found growing in or near
its edges. 1t is all but devoid of animal
life, a species of large "boat-bug," a
queer little terrapin, and the famous
walking fish, being its only inhab-
itants. This walking fish is an oddity
really deserving of a special note. 1t
is from eight to nine inches long and
has tinny membrane extending from
head to head even around both the
upper and lower surfaces of the tail.
1t is provided with four legs, those be-
fore having four toes and the hinder
five.-St. Louis Republic.

Injurious Effects of Too Much Haste

In prescribing for patient the other
day, physician, who is a specialist in
nervous difficulties, declared that a
young woman under his charge was
literally killing herself by too rapid
movements. "She is not satisfied" he
said, with going about and doing things
in quiet. ordinary way, but actually
rushes through with her work and con-
tinually overtaXes herself. She can
not be convinced that little more
deliberation might accomplish Just as
much and save her strength. So firm
ly is this habit of haste fixed upon her
that she will run up and downstairs
when there is no need for hurry. and
indeed when there is no possible pre-
text for doing it" The doctors pre-
scription was: a good deal more de-
liberation, large amount of rest and
pleasant occupation. The world is full
of people who are rushing themselves
to ruin of health as fa.r A.. they can
go. They not only rush IN. worry
and. between these two, subject their
nervous systems to more ',.'ra,.I tear
than anything short of w~rvvDt ssgsl
would epdure.-N. y. Ledger.

IT is humiliating to note that there
is distinction between Democrats
The Galveston-Dalas News says Gen
eral Maxey is still a soundSmoney
Democrat. In all time previous to
late schisms on the silver question
every Democrat was considered a
sound-money Democrat, and it is a
shame that the party is losing one OF
its most distinguishing features. A
sound currency is important most OF
all to the welfare of the laborers of
the country, and the Democratic party
has heretofore been considered the
special friend of the laboring classes
becauses it was sound.money party.

A Rousing Time.
Special to The Statesman.
DALLAS, Oct. 25.-Huudreds of old
veterans of the "Lost Cause" were
here today in honor of the Daughters
of the Confederacy. Signor Liberati
had a splendid program for the
Daughters and their friends. The
Bonnie Blue Flag recalled stirring
scenes of their days and brought tears
ID the eyes of the men that loved ii, ,
fought for it, and lost all but their
honor under its now fuTled fold.
Dixie thrilled their hearts and made
them young again. They cheered as
Justify az in days of strife and of earn

proudly above them. The "Old Rebel

GOVERNOR HoGG has gotten into the
habit lately of euIogizing President
Cleveland. Since the fact has dawned
upon him that the mention of Mr.
Cleveland's name receives more uni
versal and hearty applause than any
thing else he could mention, he resorts
to that expedient to enthuse his audi
euces. Governor Hogg is wise in his
generation and can see as far through
a grindstone as any other man, if 1T
has a hole in it.

THE charge by the Populists that
the low price of wheat and cotton is
the fault of the Democratic party is
absurd. The price for what we sell
the surplus OF anything we send
abroad fixes the price of that article.
How could the Democratic party have
any influence in Liverpool or London
upon the price they are willing to
pay for wheat or cotton? 1t is the
most absurd charge that desperate
party has ever resorted to in order to
prejudice the people against the Dem.
cratic party.

GENERAL JOHN b. GoRDoN's lee
ture at the opera house N this city
Thursday night was q magnificent
piece of oratory. Without sbating
the least in his loyalty to the govern
ment of the nited States, and while
paying splendid eulogies to such
federal generals as Grant and Custer,
he exhibited and urged the proper
spirit of gratitude to the veterans OF
the "lost cause" and admiration for
the young Confederscy that sprang
into life full armed in a day and leav-
ing such a brilliant and glorious, but
brief, history of her Diem and intrepid
ity, went down TO rise no more for-
ever.

THE canvass in this state is getting
up to white heat. Every village and
hamlet is nightlysalive with citizens,
vocal with brass bands and resounding
with political eloquence of aspiring
candidates If the people are not eds
ucated up to a full knowledge of every
issue it will be because the candidates
and public speakers are not capable
of teaching them these issues. AS far
as Travis county is concerned it would
be impossible to present more intel.
igent set of men to the public for
their SURFACES than the regular county
nominees OF the Democratic party.

A Curious Issue in "a Will Contest Before
n Buffalo Court.

BUFFALO, N. Y, May 10.-To Surro-
gate Stern these questions have been
presented for his official decision: Is
the soul immortalP DO masses cele-
brated by the Roman Catholic Church
benefit the dead?
This has come about through the con-
test over the will of Mrs. Catherine
BaclIus, who died in January last. Her
estate of 81, 900 in cash was bequeathed
to Nicholas Eastman as trustee, 10 be
expended for masses "for the benefit of
my poor soul and that of my deceased
husband"
Mrs. Backus' seven children decided
to contest the will, and the case was
argued yesterday. The will is contested
on two grounds. That the trustee was
invested with too much discretionary
power, and that in drawing the will the
testator violated the principles Of q
trust. 1t is maintained that trusts are
created under will for the benefit OF
some living person, and cannot be ere.
atod for soul, which can have nc
standing in court.
Mr.. Bagley, the attorney, asserts that
the soul is at best an intangible legatee
and that there is no competent evidence
before the court that Mrs. Backus or hel
husband is possessed of a soul, fol
which trust might be held. He also
makes the point that if the soul IS i'm
mortal, it is doubtful whether it can de
rive any benefit from masses celebrated
ON earth.

OPPOSED TO A THIRD PARTY
DR.. Kynett's Address Proved
a Disappointment.
HIS IDEA OF TEMPERANCE WORK
Should be Conducted Outside
of Party Politics.
The Doctor Gave His Hearers to Under
stand That lie is Republioan-Ths
Glass of Ministers That Was Delighted
with His Talk-His Address u Disap-
pointment.

Thursday a convention of represen-
tatives of tho various churches of the
city was held in Central Presbyterian
Church to form u Temperance Alliance.
Daniel Green of Newport was made
chairman and the Rev. w. A. Wise Sec
rotary.
DR.. A. J. Kynett, chairman of the
permanent committee on temperance of
the Methodist Episcopal Church, was
the principal speaker. He gave his
views of what was needed to meet and
destroy the rum traffic, but early in his
address gave the audience to understand
that he was a Republican and always
had been and wanted this work done
outside of party politics. He said he
was opposed to a third party on the
liquor question.
His address was disappointment, as
the largest proportion of his hearers
were In favor of out and out third party
prohibition, but few of the ministers
present who talk temperance and pray
for temperance, but go to the polls and
vote for the saloon were very much
delighted with the DOCTORS address.
After u lengthy discussion of the sub
| iect 1t was decided TO form Provisional
Alliance and then to have temperance
leagues formed in each of the city
churches.
Those who participated in the discus
sion were the Revs. w. p. Swartz, ]. K
Milligan, A. N. Kcigwin, o. q. Bud
dington, L. E. Barrett, w. L. White
George w. Todd and several otheI
speakers.
On motion of the Rev. w. P. Swarti
tho officers of the convention wert
elected as officers of the Provisiona
Alliance, and an executive committee
consisting of the Rev. ]. b, Quigg, tn,
Rev. G, +. Hendricks, the Rev. A. N
Keigwin, w. II. Gregg, Charles Baird
l.. d. Jones and Charles s. Rowland
was appointed.
The convention adjourned to meet a
the call of the chairman.
