FlOrida's Kind of a Mule.

The Jacksonville Street Railway
company has a big gray mule of which
it is as proud as a hen with one chicken.
This mule has a very mild and benevo-
lent countenance and is not afraid of a
bushel of oats. 1t is up to a trick or
two also and has a very melodious voice
that a rattle off white Wings,
until you are dissolved in tears. When
it wants a drink, it goes to the hydrant
at the stables, turns the faucet with its
teeth and envelopes itself with a barrel
or so of good cold water. Best of all,
when its thirst is quenched it carefully
turns off the water and goes to its stall
satisfied and happy. Such a mule is
certainly worth its weight in bananas.

defence of the Gubernatorial steal.

That is o satisfactory voucher for
Pete's good character.
But oh, hear him in his divinely elo-
quent apostrophe to the truly great

"All that falsehood and rancor the
greed of Office could invent, have
hurled their weapons of calumny
against this man; but serene in his
ideas of what is right, rising supremely
above these, Peter Turney has stood as
a grand old statesman in this political
fight, holding his head unscathed above
the storm that broke harmlessly at his
feet"
But these two brilliant passages are
the vapid efflux of utter brain fog com
pared to the peroration of his sym.

II say to this convention that Peter
Turney was not born to shame, upon
his brow shame is ashamed to sit, for
it is a throne where honor may be
crowned sole monarch of the universal
earth. This man, fellow citizens stands
today the observed of all observers.
He stands today in his personal char
acter as spotless as the suns rays, as
pure as purity, as matchless as Lee and
brave as Jackson"
Shades of Cicero, Webster and De-
mosthenes what an orator.
The Legislature forthwith, in joint
assembly met, proceeded to disfran-
chise 10000 East Tennesseans, and the
whole anti Turney element or the body
polite would have shared the same
fate had the star warbler said "ary

If Clay Evans, the brass mouthed
adventurer from Yankeedom, escapes
the hangman's rope it will be entirely
owing to the star warbler's forbearance.

is that VIZ all escaped with our lives
even though it were only by the skin
of our teeth.

The Middlesex Club of Boston, Mass.
is one of the oldest and strongest Re-

One of its main purposes is to honor the

the finest banquets and q flow of the

1T rs OYER WHAT WILL CON.
GRESS DOP

The deep tragedy of subverted JUS
tice and outraged law has ended. An.
archy has taken the place of popular
freedom. 1t is now the Government
of the machine" by the '~'machinen
and for the machine" In the near
n hundredth year of her existence
the citizens of the Volunteer State
have been denied the right to choose
their own Governor. Continued Tur-
neyism is the usufruct of deliberately
planned and badly committed crime
against every man, woman and child
in the State. From beginning to end
it was a barefaced steal-an undis-
guised rapacity for plumber and spoils.
The Federal Constitution guarantees
to every State a republican form of
Governmental Government in which
the people rule and not a gang of ire
sponsible and conscienceless despera-
does and freebooters. The Government
in Tennessee, at this time, is not a whit
more lawful and respectable than the
Hawaiian farce or the average speci-
men of a Mexican usurpation. II is
not only a damned spot upon our own
name but a disgrace to the entire coun-
try. With a striking unanimity the
press of the entire Union, regardless of
party connection, holds up the foul
and rotten thing to the deep voiced
excavations of all mankind. The shame
of it is that the crime was committed
in defiance of the earnest and urgent
protests of eighty per cent. of an entire
citizenship. The honest and respect
able element of the Democratic party
did not hesitate to denounce the i'm.
measurable infamy in unqualified
terms, and the patriotic expressions of
their utter adherence of Turneyism and
its corrupt penitentiary and coal oil
adjuncts constitute a written history
of the contest, of which we are proud.
When honest and respectable men of
all parties bear concurring testimony,
how can Congress overlook the fact
that free Government in Tennessee no
longer exists-that the will of the PEG.
pie has been ruthlessly thrust aside to
subserve the conspiracy of a lot of
knavish ringsters and jobbersp
The question has gone beyond the
domain of politics and partisanism. 1t

Exposure Of Children to Disease.

Few mothers are anxious to have theil
children contract any of the usual diseases
to which they are subject, yet there has
been an old foRy sentiment abroad fol
years that II children escape diseases In
their youth 1t will go all the worse with
them later in life. But it is certainly
right to protect everybody from disease sc
far as possible, and that children, of all
others, should be carefully guarded from
all forms of contagion. There is none OF
the SO called chldren's diseases unless /
be chicken pox, but which is liable to be
followed by train of serious consequences,
besides being sometimes fatal.
Measles are very apt to produce diseases
of tho eyes, and scarlet fever, diseases OF
the ears, and also cause Inflammation OF
the kidneys so that afterward Bright's
disease may set in In every way it is
better to avoid all contagious diseases as
long as possible, and it is quite probable
that in adult life persons may escape these
diseases altogether, or if they have them
it will be in lighter form. The popular
idea that grown persons have these dis
eases harder than children is fallacious
Adults are better developed and have the
judgment necessary to cooperate in the
treatment which is lacking in Children

pale, delicate green, just the shade of grass

of material were ample for the rather
stately young blond who is to wear it,,
and four yards of wide lace, with two
yards of narrow and quarter of yard
of piece velvet for the bows, constitute the
trimmings, costing 50 more, leaving 90
cents for the Innings, which was quite
enough. The lace is heavy cream and
looks extremely rich over the green The
daring color effect introduced in the vel
