GOD GIVE US MEN.

The following strong and beautiful
lines were written by oliver Wen
dell Holmes. The HERALD has
notion of keeping them standing al
the head of its columns until after
the next election; and we suggest tc
the voters that they memorize them
and think of them when they go to
the polls:
God give us men A time like this de
mands 80
Great hearts. strong minds, true faith ant
willing hands;
Men whom the lust OF office does not kill
Men whom the spells OF office cannot buy
Men who possess opinions and Will;
Men who have honor, men who will not lie
For while the rabble, with their thumi
worn creeds,
Their large professions and their LITTLE
deeds
wrangle in selfish strife-lol Freedom
weepS,
Wrong rules the land and waiting justice
sleeps

RAINS, THE DRUGGIST,

A MAN who votes for the Bryan
and Sewall electors in Tennessee,
casts a vote for the free coinage of
silver, and one that will count. But
a man who casts a vote for the Bry-
an and Watson electors; throws his
vote away. Both may think they
are voting for Bryan; but they are
not. The first is, because he has
every reason to believe that his vote
is one to make a safe majority for
his man. But the second man is
voting for "his party is doing the
very thing he derided the Democrats
for doing, preferring party" to
principle" There is some excuse
for the man who honestly believes
in the gold standard and votes his
convictions; but there is absolutely
none for the man who says he be
lieves in free silver, but votes
against the Bryan and Sewall cleo
tors. He must be either insincere
or ignorant.

The Nashville American pub
fishes a letter from j. H. Mcdowell
to Mr.. J. Cowell, of Camden, Tenn,
Populist Committeeman for Benton
County, asking him to support one
James Jeffreys for the Senate,
This, with other evidence from vari-
Gus sources, confirms the belief that
Mcdowell is traitor to the honest
Populists and hireling of the Re-
publicans. Certainly if the Popu-
lists have any self respect or love
for principle they will impeach this
renegade.

WE frequently read in papers
where pet dogs suddenly surprise
everybody by biting some member
of the family. An instance occurred
in Nashville few days since, where
a water spaniel, that had been the
playmate of little girl, suddenly
and without provocation took the
little girls face in his mouth and
tore it all to pieces. The papers re-
late that the father promptly killed
the dog. Wouldn't it have been bet
ter to have killed the dog first? And
wouldn't it be better for other par
ents who have these useless and dan
gerous pets about the house, to profit
by the sad experience Of Others, and
get rid of their dogs? Dogs are a
danger to the children who play
with them, and a nuisance to every
body else. Why not get rid ofthem ?

THE general opinion prevails-or
rather the fear is expressed-that
the politicians will capture the
legislative convention next Monday.
There prevails an idea that an at
tempt will be made to formulate
ticket who will let things alone.
The railroads want to be let alone;
the whiskey dealers want to be let
alone, and the fee grabbers want to
be let alone, and it is thought that
this ring of let alone interests will
attempt to dominate the convention.
To what extent this combine has
been made, we really do not know
We publish communication else
where bearing on the subject, and
we give the rumOr for what it is
worth. The people at least should
be on their guard. They should go
to the polls in every district and
take interest and pains to select as
delegates men who can be trusted.
That is the first and most important
step to be taken. Then these dele
gates should be very careful whom
they trust They should look to a
mans environments, his associa-
tions, his past record. If he is a
whiskey head, they need not expect
him to vote for temperance legisla-
ton. If he has been a ee-grabber
himself, and has lobbied against fee
reform in the legislature, they
should not expect him to. do other
wise as legislator than vote to per-
petuate the present Ubiquitous sys-
tenn. And if he is related by blood
or marriage, affinity or consanguinity
to the railroads, he will most likely
do as the railroads say do. We truly
hope that the districts will send
delegates who will put the peoples
interest and the party's success
above their personal likes and dis
likes, and select business ticket
above reproach, that will command
the respect of the people and the
support of the party. We hope they
will not forget, as conventions some
times do, that an appeal lies from
the convention to the people; for,
just as certain as the ticket is loaded
down with ringsters and class
representatives, just so surely will
that ticket be defeated.

THE following is taken from the
Washington correspondence to the
Nashville Banner, and is "a fair
sample of the vicious lies the hire
ling correspondents to the gold bug
press are sending out to the country.
To-wit: Watson has been regarded
as representing the worst element in
the Southern country. His appeals
to the negroes have been more
vicious and rampant than any ever
made by the Republicans. The ma
ior part of his following in the Tenth
District in Georgia consists of ne
groes. He is certainly popular with
the colored folks. He shocked the
staid old community of Augusta in

tory embraces of buXom colored

Mr.. BRYAN spoke as truly as elU-
quently in his Louisville speech,
when he said: 1--WE are opposed to
the gold standard because it makes
money dear. Dear money makes
cheap property and cheap property
makes hard times. Hard times
makes every producer of wealth
taste of distress, and out of those
who would be employed it makes
idle men. And out of the idle men
it makes destitute men. And out of
the destitute men it makes criminal
men. The gold standard means
more of crime and larger army to
keep the criminals in subsection.

ening blight that can touch the en-
terprise of a nation"

AS A prophet Col. John R. Fellows
is not success; therefore the public
need not fear the calamity howl he
raises over the possible success of
the free silver movement. Four
years ago he predicted that New
York would give Harrison fifty
thousand majority over Cleveland;
and sure enough it didn't. Then the
Walls of his wrath were poured out
on Cleveland, now he shys oratorical
bouquets at him. Really the doughty
Colonel is more of politician than
statesman, and the public has long
since ceased to take him seriously.

MAINE went Republican last
Monday by some forty or fifty
thousand majority. There is moth
ing surprising or disheartening in
that in the least. Names large
Republican majority and Arkansas
large Democratic majority, signify
this; that both Democrats and Re-

strength this year, and a tremend-
Gus popular vote may be expected
in November. Tennessee's total
vote will be thirty thousand more
than two years ago.

Mr.. J. A. BATES, of Centreville, is
the member from this district of the

tee. Mr.. Bates is not only fair
sample of the make up of the COM
mite, but fair sample also of the
boltocrat following in this state. He
was one of those supercilious Demo
Gratis too virtuous to vote for Peter
Turney in his contest against the
carpet-bagger, H. Clay Evans. 1t is
easy enough when man has once
voted for Clay Evans to vote for
anything that is undemocratic. And
if you will investigate you will find
that the boltocrats are largely made
up of his kind. This is not the first
time the majority of them have
scratched their tickets.

IT costs Georgia ten thousand dol
lars year to enforce its criminal
laws. 1t costs Tennessee one mil
lion dollars. Who pays this enor-
nous cost? The people. Whose
pockets does it go into? The pock-
cts of the office-holders and specula-
tors. And yet, when this question
is agitated, and the people begin to
cry for relief from this burdensome
and altogether useless taxation, a
lobby, composed of Sheriffs, Clerks
and Attorney-Generals-men who
have been elevated to Office, honored
and trusted by the people-confronts
the Legislature to deter them from
their duty. Take money out of the
peoples pockets and put it in ours
is what they virtually say. "Tax
the people for our benefit" is their
appeal. "Take a million dollars out
of the sweat and labor of the tax
payers, and give it to u.s." is their
cry. The way to defeat this lobby
is to choose men for representatives
who will not be lobbied with. And
another effective way, would be tC

against him every time for anything

The HERALD makes no complaint
against the railroads for sending out
their literature to influence votes for
Mckinley, for it takes just such OBJ
ject lessons as this to arouse the peo-
pie and make them fully compre-
bend the situation. This fight is a
"battle of the standards" and a bat
tie of the standards means a fight
of the corporations and money deal
ers, as against the producers and
common people. Many people will
say yes to that, and pass on; but
when the corporations show their
hands as the railroads are doing,
then the people get aroused and be-
gin to fight back. Hence we make
no complaint against the railroads
for showing their hand. "All's well
that ends WE'LL" 'ft ti

PERHAPS the most important news
item in the HERALD this week, is
contained in McKennon, Anderson
& Fosters advertisement. When a
firm of such extensive operations
makes radical change from the gen.
eral credit system to the exclusively
cash, it means something to a large
class of people. And their custo-
mers all know that "when you see it
in their ad, its So" When they say
cash, they mean cash. We hope the
same success will attend them in
this as in their other ventures, for
they are progressive, enterprising,
deserving and reliable. They pro-
pose to make it to the interest OF
their customers to pay the cash, and
intend, they say, to save the people
of Maury County several thousand
dollars annually by their new
method.
