New. York sun: The official re,Jr1s In
Tennessee elected Henry clay Evans, a
Republican, as Governor By a plIrality
OF ISL votes IN d total of $1,000, the Leg
is;ature is Democratic, and the cl9SeIess
Of the contest has given rise 20 accusa-
tlCas OF fraud. The Governor Of the Big
Bend State takes Office on January iJtn'
and there IS some dispute as 10 whether
Evans, the Republican, or rurney, the
Democrat, wil be installed OH the 18th.
Happily for the cause of Tennessee De
mccracy the reelection to the United
States Senate OF the Hon. ISham G..
Harris seems to be assured. Isham is the
one member Of the United States Senate
who positively refuses to declare his age.
1t is known officially that he began 10
practise law In 1871. and that he was elect
ed to the Tennessee Legislature in 1877
He was a presidential slector in 1875,
when Zachary Taylor and Lewis Cass ran
against Martin Van Buren,, and IN 1913
he was first elected to Congress. in 1891
ha was elected Governor OF Tennef'ee,
and reelected in 1859 and 1851. lie fought

Charleston News and Courier: he an
nual Conference of the Methodist Church,
in Florida, is now in session at Jack
sorvile There are l03 clerical and 800
lay delegates in attendance. Bishop w.
W. Duncan, of South Carolina, is presid-
ing over the Conference. A dispatch 10
the Savannah Morning News says:
"a peculiar speech at the opening of
the Conference was a caution o. Bishop
Duncan 10 those delegates who chew to-
bacco not to expectorate on the floor
or the handsome new carpet, wAlcn has
recently been put down. He told them
that IL they must chew tobacco TO go
outside, and they would find nice. new
curbstone and plenty Of fresh sand to
eXpectorate upon, or they could bring their
cuspidors, and in case of an emergency
they could use their hats
The Rev. j. +. Depars put in good
word for the preachers by saying that
on Tuesday he was in a railway passenger
coach with twenty of them, and not one
in the party chewed tobacco"
Bishop Duncan was right in admonlsh-
ing the ministers not TO chew tobacco in
church and not to spit on the carpet, but
he was wrong in advising them 10 spit
in their hats. Hats were not made for
the purpose, even lin case of an emer-
gency."

CONFIDENCE, NOT MONEY, WANTED.

The amount of actual money necessary
for the business of country Is ehor-
mousIy exaggerated in the minds Of ren'
Confidence that contracts will be per-
formed just as made is the important
thing for the transaction of business, ana
ii thai confidence is perfect. actual iaeney
is hardly ever seen. Commerce is rdt
the purchase and sale of commodities for
money Commerce is the exchange Of the
commodities of one place for the commod-
tiles Of another. Neither nation no,
neighborhood could live II 1t had TO buy
for cash 1t must exchange its commo]i-
Ties. We find 1t convenient 10 put the
exchanges through the forms Of rur-
chases and sales. but these purchases and
sales are all sham transactions, the real
transactions being swaps of commodities
effected by the transference from one per-
son to another Of the credits which blnks,
principally, and other parties grant upon
the tomodties themselves. The paper
promises to pay money that We call cur
rency will operate very conveniently 10
swap these commodities, but not one Of
the swaps in million is actually effected
by either paper currency or coin. The
great bulk of them are effected by trans
fers of credits on the books of the banks.
Confidence, then, that contracts will be
performed exactly as made is the great
engine that draws the train of commerce
When that is absolute business runs along
the track with rush. The moment any
things occurs 10 arouse a suspicion an
impediment TO commences train has been
placed on the track.
The incalculable advantages II conf
dence In finance was strikingly illustrated
In the experience OF France during her
last war with Germany. In the course of
her ten months struggle she incurred
war expenditure OF thousand millions.
OF dollars in specie values. and In the
twenty-eight months after the concl ision
OF peace she paid an indemnity OF q
thousand millions more In specie or it's
equivalent. The French Government
judged II wise, At tho beginning Of the
war. 70 relieve the Bank Of France from
the obligation to pay It, notes In specie
when that was demanded. and II per-
nittsd II also 70 increase IL note Issue

THE MIRROR OF LIFE.

The great gift of Christianity TO man.
kind was the realization of the highest
manhood. showing It's possibilities. The
desire of all nations, the hope of proph-
cts and righteous men, the IDEAL of phi
losophers, the hardly defined yearning OF
all men, was the knowledge OF the per-
feet man. And that knowledge implied
and necessitated the great God, as its
light and life and worship. The dim
vision of the wisest OF Israelites and
heather strongly suggested the ideal. but
fell in dust and ashes, in consciousness OF
the actual. The most righteous and hon.
orable OF men. on the glimpse OF Deity.

Thee. apd l abhor myself" The wise

were born for II, but without II.
The perfect character OF Jesus OF Naza-
reth is the highest and best possession OF
human knowledge. 1t is d pearl OF great

ideal, fuIfils the lodgings OF humanity.
The Life was the Light of men. And the
life SO agreeable, so satisfying, so exalt-
ing TO the human soul. pespeaks its Won
cerfm superiority TO its brethSen. The
character and life suggest deity; and IT
would be disappointment TO find 1t with
out power In keeping with its divine
holiness and wisdom.
The light and life OF Christ lifted the
whole human race from darkness and
death to life; so II was small exertion
