The Curtain Falls.

Owe, the sorrow and over the bliss,
Over the teardrop, over the kiss,
Over the crimes that blotted and
blurred,
Over the wound OF the angry word,
Over the deeds in weakness done,
Over the battles lost and won,
Now at the end of the flying year,
Year thai tomorrow will not be here,
Over our freedom, over our thralls,
In the dark and the midnight the
curtain falls.
Over our gain and over our loss,
Over our crown and over our cross,
Over the fret of our discomfort,
Over the i'll that we never meant,
Over the scars OF our self denial,
Over the strength that conquered trial,
Now in the end of the flying year,
Year that tomorrow will not be here,
Quietly final, the prompter calls;
Over it swiftly the curtain falls.
Over the crowds and the solitudes,
Over our shifting, hurrying moods,
Over hearths where bright flames leap,
Over the cribs where the babies sleep
Over the clamor, over the stliIe,
Over the pageantry Of life,
Vow in the end of the flying year,
Year that tomorrow will not be here
Swiftly and surely from starry walls
Silently downward the curtain falls.

House have returned to Washing.
ton, there is nothing in sight upon
which to predict with any degree
of certainty what will be done with
the Carlisle currency reform bill.
In order that there might be no
misunderstanding and that every
Democratic member might feel at
liberty to propose amendments,
President Cleveland has allowed it
to be perfectly understood that he
is not welded to any particular
plan of currency reform, but is
ready to join hands with the Dem
ocrats in Congress upon any plan
that can be agreed upon. When
the House meets Wednesday the
discussion of the Carlisle bill will
be resumed and continued for tn,
rest Of this week. Further thar
that no definite program has beer
arranged. 1t is expected that
Democratic caucus to consider tn,
bill and proposed amendments vii
be called this week and that some
thing will be decided upon.

Saving

1t is fact which all leading physicians
admit that nine times out OF ten patient
will recover without the assistance of a
doctor. With the advance of general knowl-
edge people understand better what 10 do
for themselves. Medicines in themselves
can not cure; Nature alone can cure but
medicines help Nature. Take an illustra-
ton. Let us say you have sick headaches
occasionally, with dizziness, sour stomach
and loss Of appetite. You do not need to
go to doctor, for every ore will tell you Il
is biliousness, and that what you need is

the torpid liver TO action.
In this case you can buy many different
kinds OF liver pills. but the best course is to
secure the liver pills and also some TONIC
PELLETS for purifying the blood and
toning up the system, so that you will not
be troubled again.
You can get both of these medi-

SENATOR CoCKRELL, of Missouri,
chairman of the Senate Committee
on Appropriations, takes no stock
in there being any serious attempt
made to defeat the clause in the
urgency appropriation bill appro-
priating money to meet the ex-
psnses of collecting the income
tax, Notwithstanding reports which
pretend to give the details of a
combination organized to defeat
that appropriation in the Senate.
Mr.. Cockrell avs he intends to get
the bill before the Senate as soon
as possible, and that he anticipates
no trouble in getting it passed.
Senator Quay is said to be prepar-
ing an endless speech which he
proposes to make against the bill,
and Senator Lodge is also credited
with a desire to talk against it.
Senator Hill figures in all the ru-
mors about what is being done to
try to defeat this appropriation, but
those who know him best do not
believe he would defeat the appro-
priation if he could, although he
would gladly vote to repeal the in,
come tax. But voting to repeal a
law and voting to withhold an APP
preparation necessary to enforce a
law are two very different things,
Attorney General Olney is conf
dent that the attempt to have the
income tax declared unconstitution-
al by the courts will fail.

In an open letter, published in last
weeks COMET, President ] E. Crandall,
of the FIRST National Bank, of John
son City, tells how the recent collapse
of that institution came about.
He goes back 10 the time OF johnson
City's more prosperous days and re
lates in detail the financial phase
which have come over that place.
There is more money due the bank
than it owes, and if these notes were
paid up it would put an entirely dif'
ferent appearance on things.
While Crandall has been to len.
lent in many respects with customers,
he is regarded throughout this section
as A shrewd and scrupulous business
mln. His present condition should
not be judged without consideration
and it is to be hoped that the story be
published will be substsntiated by
the investigation which is taking
place. Greeneuille NeWs.

PRESIDENT CLEVELAND is the
only man who has the authority to
call an extra session of Congress,
but that little fact, important as it
happens to be, is being entirely
overlooked by those who have re
lieved the President of all trouble
in the matter and assumed his au-
thority without even saying, "by
your leave, sir" and who are now
busy arranging all the details of the
extra session, but both he and Sec
rotary Carlisle some time age
pointed out to leading Democrats
that some sort of relief must soor
be had for the Treasury, and tina
if this Congress failed to provide
it necessity might compel the call
ing of an extra session. The situa
ton has not changed. The calling
of an extra session depends largel,
upon the action or non-action o
the Democrats in the present Con
gress. The Republican leader
would regard the calling of an ex
ira session of Congress as a grea
misfortune for their party, although
some of the small fry are swagger
ing around talking about "wha
we'd do" The leaders know tina

The Tennessee Contest.

At present there is a good deal OF
interest in Tennessee over the con-
test for the Office OF Governor, which
is to- be settled by the incoming Legis-
lature.
On the one hand are men who be-
Ileve that Gov. Turney was honestly
elected, and that the slight plurality
which the returns on their face give
to Evans is due to fraud. On the
other hand are those who believe that
Evans was no more the beneficiary OF
fraud than Turney was, and that the
result should be declared without go
ing behind the returns. Between
these two classes is a third that looks
upon politics as a game in which
everything is fair, and in which the
side that happens to hold the cards
and can take the most tricks should
always win. According to this class
Turney should be given the seat, il
for no other reason than that he holds
the stronger hand in a Democratic
Legislature.
1t is an unfortunate thing that this
low estimate of politics has been con.
sstently encouraged by the Republi-
can party ever since the beginning
OF the period of Reconstruction in the
South. Its notorious prostitution Ct

ponents OF President; its employ
ment OF it to override justice and de-
cency in Congress whenever it found
it expedient to increase its working
majority" In that body; its resort to
it in various States OF the North like
Connecticut and Rhode Island to keep
a minority in perpetual control, have
all tended to place party pol itics on
the low plain of might instead of right.
1t is not strange, therefore, that there
should be Democrats in Tennessee
who think that what is good medicine
to take is good medicine to give; il il
not strange that the Republicans OF
the State threaten that if Evans be
denied the Governors chair several
Democrats who were elected by good
majorities will be denied seats in the
Fifty-fourth Congress nor is it strange
that both sides believe, in view of the
record of Republican Congresses. that
this threat, if diaregsrded, will be
made good.
The Courier Journal is sorry to sc,
any occasion for such q contest il
Tennessee. Surely the politics OF tina
State has been badly enough democrat
lied already. But if the Legislator
is to attempt to investigate and sif
the returns of this election we trus
that it will do so in a strictly impair
'ial spirit, with determination to d
justice, at whatever cost to eithe
side, and to eliminate fraud, whethe
it inures to the advantage OF eithe
Evans or Turney. The triumph of NJ
party through unfair means can b
more than temporary. The Democrat

a situation not widely differing
from that existing in the present
House will at once be developed;
that the financial differences are
quite as marked in their own as in
the Democratic party, hence their
dread of an extra session the year
before a Presidential campaign.

witness the presentation of the
colors to the first corp. There
were two flags, one Hawaiian and
one the colors of the Army. The
Army flag had a yellow star on a

blue. Fire blood and purity are
represented by these colors. In
the corner at the top is a small
Hawaiian flag. The colors were
presented with appropriate cere-

the folio wing advantages:
THE CRUSHER will cut the cane
transversely in pieces about 3 inches
long and extract about 80 per cent. of
the juice andideliver the crushed cane in
uniform layer to the 3 roller mill,
thereby causing a perfect feed and in
creased extraction of juice.
THE CRUSHER will leave the "skin"
on the cane, thereby giving the juice
better chance to be expelled than if the
cane was ripped open subjecting the
pulp to the hard packing on the retnrner
bar of the 3 roller mill.
THE CRUSHER will save labor in
handling of the cane, as an irregular
distribution of cane on the carrier will
not materially effect the regular and
even feed to the roller mill.

ditional steam or boiler power, as it has
