A CONDITION IN POLITICS.
tennessee Has Not "a single Aspirant for
GuberDatoriaI Honors

Tennessee Has Not "a single Aspirant for
GuberDatoriai Honors
From the Washington Post.
remarkable condition of affairs
prevails in Tennessee politics to-day.
Tennessee has the honor of including in
the roster OF her citizens the name of
Andrew Jackson, who is regarded as
having been something of a democrat
on account OF him and his influence on
the minds of Tennesseeans II has al
ways been taken for granted that Ten
nessee was bound to be a democra tic
state and that there would always be
an abundance of candidates for demo-
cratic honors. But a most strange con-
dition has come about Within one
month the democratic state convention
will be held. That convention will not
only have to choose delegates to the
national convention, but will also have
to nominate a candidate for governor.
But to-day there is not one avowed
candidate for the democratic guberna-
torial nomination. Comptroller James
"A. Harris, a young man of brilliant
parts. was such a candidate, and start
ed to make the race with a formidable
organization, but he was suddenly with
drawn and there is now nobody I'm the
field as a personally active seeker of
the nomination. County after county
has declared in favor of the nomination
or Ex-Governor Robert l.. Taylor. who
is attending strictly to his lecture work
and has not raised his hand In his own
behalf. He merely remarke at one time
that he had never yet refused TO meet
his party obligations, and this seems
TO have been sufficient for his people.
As the case now stands. he will be nom-
mated by acclamation. The man has
a peculiar hold upon the people of the
state, and though there are many dem
ocrats who would like to be nominal
ed. none care to enter the list when
there is the slightest probability that
Taylor's name may be mentioned on
the floor OF the convention. The situa-
tlon, so far as the political history OF
Tennessee is concerned, is absolutely
unique.

NTith better understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys
ical Ills which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle efforts-pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There Is comfort in
the knowledge that so many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to a constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
ly removes. That is why IL Is the only
remedy with millions of families, and Is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it Is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness, without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. IL is therefore
all important, in order to get its bele-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine article,
which is manufactured by the California
Fig Syrup Co. only, and Sold by all rep

Waterman What of
the Hour.

If the past is true interpreter of the
future-if human experience is o De
trusted, the present is fraught with
pregnant import to the country and
her people. We are no pesimist, no
alarmist, no complacent harbinger of
i'll omen. but unless we have read his
tory unpr ohtably and used our own
senses and experiences blindly, we are
treading on the thin crust of a political
volcano-the upheval of which is liza
BILE to be precipitated at any moment,
which means wide spread desolation
and ruin-of which human reason can
not foresee the limits. Natural causes
of financial depression of the masses,
which is wide spread and which natur-
al and equally as slow remedies of re-
paration as caused the conditions can
only rectify the roubles-have been
perverted by selfish politicians and
some honest but deluded people, into
blame of government, and into an alb
SuIu IICd thdt Cdh dnCiu
relief. Long and persistent prejudice
of the masses against the so.called
classes and the utopian dream and de-
fusion of poor people rolling in unearn-
ed ease and splendor, has been SO WV
idly presented to the wild magma
ton of the populace of this country I'M
til they clamor for the life blood of
FLoATED CAPITAL and anticipate an
immediate shower of free silver MIR.
Bryan, no other man, and no party can
stem this tide; it has risen too high and
is too resistless by reason of the force
behind 1.-THE great restless, unsatis
fed, excited people. When Caesar
turned his victorious legions on Rome
excitement ran high. The conserva-
tive element felt secure. Pompy said
all he had to do was to stamp his foot
and all Rome would rise. Pompy de-
feated, chrgrinned and in despair fell
upon his sword. Caesar The popular
idol and usnrper died by the assasin's
,.agger, and where was Rome. Crom-
well plebian under popular dlscon-
tent, step by step rose to the British
throne after stalking in person into the
British parliament and dissolving it.
The streets of Paris were barricaded
by the dead bodies of "Sans Culottes"
from the deadly fire of Napoleans can
non. Secession ran riot and rampant
in popular favor until it drenched this
land in blood and placed the seal of
poverty on every Southern home. Con-
servatism and the reason of the calm
patriotic men in all these instances
counted for naught-were sneered at
and passed unheeded and in contempt.
Yet they had to share in the common
ruin. A fearful responsibility rests
on the precipitators. No matter who
is elected in November he will have to
confrouta crisis he will be powerless |
to remedy, except by the strong arm of
power, and how this will be done or
when it will end no man can tell. Let |
disappointed labor strike
and the army be required to quell
trouble & the Altgelds and other agi
tators will precipitate desired revo-
luton, from which when the shock of
battle is over the people will suffer.

Developing Egoists.

|
! Egoism is in the ascendency. The
opportunities offered for self-enjoy
ment and the great Difference paid tC
those who have succeeded in accumu-
lating much money. is rapidly develop
ing race of CYCLISTS. All are so intent
upon getting mon Y that all other
things are made subordinate to ii, and
the finer fac ulties are suffered to be-
come dormant from disuse. AS the
struggle is intensified honor is east
away, aud every means of getting
money is utilized SO long as the crimi-
nal code is not broken.
This is the logical result of placing
the possession of wealth above ali other
things, and RELOCATING honor and merit
to subordinate positions. The power
full influence welded by the capitalists
in both public and private enterprises,
the positions of honor occupied by
those who have no qualifications other
than wealth. the admiration bestowed
upon the possessors of riches by people
of small mental powers, all serve to so
intensity the desire for wealth that no
sacrifice is considered too great to at
tain it. The attainment of great riches
is usually at the expense of happiness
and he who sacrifices all for money Of
ten discovers when it is too late that all
power OF enjoyment is gone.
Talent and honor should take pre-.
cedence over money. Men should be
put in public Office and positions of
honor because of their fitness and not
on account of their wealth. The altru-
ist who is ever ready to help others
over the rough places and always on
the alert to say kind word to the
faint-hearted or to do good act. should
be venerated, while the man Of money
who has no regard for the welfare of
his fellowmen should be but tolerated.
Wealth should be honored only for the
good 1T does, and the owner Of it should
be shown respect in proportion to his
humanity.
If we do not stop our worship of
mammon and cease giving money the
preference over mental attachments,
honor will become un '-nown and talent
will be- lost in the mire of sordid de-
sires. Booster (i-a.) Banner.
The above from our La cotem porary
and exchange, is so true and so good
we give it place to endorse its every
word and sentiment, and to call the
special attention of our readers both
old and young to its truth, and the
fact that only by this idea can a man
or people become what they should.
Money is truly the root of all evil when
it gets full possession. Riches take
wings and fly away or if permanent,
often debase the nobler nature of man.
Personal worth, honor and virtue, are
to be chosen above great riches-it is
all the poor can have that cen abide
with them. Make sure of them and he

When all of GOODNESS that can perish dies :
Mrs. Maggie Dinkins whose recent
death left an aching void in the hearts
of loved and loving ones, that no time
nor power can fill or remove-was
lady of rare attributes of mind and
character-far above the median walks
of life. Born on the 4th day OF April
ls4S, she was the recipient of all the
auxillaries that wealth could give to
natural endowments, and how well they
were bestowed, her after life amid the
cruel reverses Of fortune demonstrated
py the luStre to her achievements. On
the 4th day Of April 1869 she married
Henry Dinkins, handsome, manly,
worthy man. and after few years OF
welded life was left widow with two
boys to care for as well as herself.
Bravely facing the battle of life at
tune wien financial depression was
rife In the land, she relied upon the
mind to coin its gems into dollars. and
by series of years il school service
and rigid economy and financial
finesse she accumulated by her own
unaided efforts sufficlency to give
her boys commercial course OF train
ing and build comfortable home for
herself. Not many men have done
this. She was proud of character, OF
honor, of right and of her boys. Kind
and just as neighbor, and true and
intensely devoted as mother and
daughter, She was one of natures
noble women" No earthly love equals
a true mothers, the boys have lost the
truest heart that will ever beat for
them, and the aged mother left has
one more deep wound on her devoted
heart, but the christians faith the
sheet anchor in the souls agony must !
be their solace, and they must realize
that
Deaths but a path that must be trod
