FaciinnnI CONTESTS.

The nomination of two free-silver
Democratic candidates for Congress in
the Seventh District by contending fac
tiOns makes one of the many curious
complications in the anomalous politi-
cal situation in Tennessee this year. In
the Eighth District the Sims Enloe pri-
mary episode has aroused bitter fac
tional feeling, and the proceedings in
Columbia last Tuesday indicate no very
pleasant state of affairs in the Seventh
Charges of injustice, trickery and fraud
have been freely made by the Partisans
of the several candidates. In the Eighth
Enloe has lost in his contention and
must yield to Sims, his competitor, who
has been proclaimed the nominee. In
the Seventh there are two claimants
for the Democratic vote, and each in
sists that he is the regular nominee.
These, and other manifestations of
the factional spirit throughout the
State, do not encourage the thoughtful
people to believe that there is at the
bottom of these contentious any real
desire to promote the true interests of
party or people. They are indications,
rather, of the effort to promote personal
ambitions, and give evidence of de-
moralization in our politics which is
far from reassuring. These hot and
close contests for nominations for office
are rarely for the good of the people.
They array people in the same party
against each other; they promote per-
sonal politics, and often lead the people
to lose sight of their best interests.
Scrambling for Office is one of the great
evils of our t1mes.--Nashville Banner.

THE LESSON OF NATURE.


There's wealth of lovely pictures in this
blessed world of ours;
There's the rainbow in the heavens, after
spring and summer showers,
With its wonderous hues prismatic, with
its perfect arching grace,
From the zenith OF its beauty to its distant
misty base.
There's the sunrise DER the mountains in
the simmering August days;
There's the sunset in the valley in veil of
blush haze;
There's the river flowing gently from the
upland to the sea,
Now all golden in the sunlight, in the shad-
ow Silvery.
There's the meadow full OF clover, and the
cattle grazing there
All is silent, all Is peaceful, all is free from
every care,
There's the vista through the woodland,
with its gorgeous autumn hue;
There's the twinkling star a-peeping
through the deepening evening blue.
There's the vast unrestful ocean, meath a
fair, unclouded sky;
There's the dancing waves R-winking as the
ships go sailing by;
There's the garden with its flowers, with its
roses all ablow.
There's the very soul OF purity, the first
fresh fall of snow.
And they come and go forever in a never
ceaslng train,
And we mortals, gazing on them, know
they're sure to come again.
Ills the message of jehovah to his People
you and me
Take the promise that give you OF your
immortalityn

became so great that the police had to
be called to aid in preserving order.
During n lull in the boisterous proceed
ings a conference was held between the
leaders of the contending factions, but
nothing was accomplished. The Cox
men, who composed majority of the
convention, were driven to the alter
native OF submitting to being run over
by minority or of boiling, and they
chose the latter course. The 7th dis
trict thus has two Democratic candi-
dates for Congress in the field. 1t
seems that minority can practice
fraud, bulldoze and use other objection
able tactics in convention as well as
in aprimary. 1t at last depends on the
honesty and fairness of the partici-
pants. The Congressional Committee
in this district resorted to the primary
as the best way of obtaining fair eX-
preston of the will of the voters. No
man can prove to the contrary, and the
only reason that can be urged against
them is the practice of fraud. II enough
honest men can not be found to hold a
primary, where they will be gotten from

Cox and Whitthorne both claim to be
the Democratic nominee for Congress in
the Seventh District of this state.
Neither of them seems to have the least
notion of yielding his claim and it is
possible that they may run it out at the
polls in November. If they should,
Republican will probably be elected.
In the interests of Democracy and the
cause of currency reform, it is hoped
that one or the other of them will be
withdrawn or that both of them will be
taken out of the race and new candi-

Queer Things About Flames.

There is a relation between the color of
flame and the energy of the combustion
causing It, The more vigorous and COM
plete the combustion the higher the re-
Tranquility Of the light. A flame burning
in tardy and restricted way emits rays
that are red. When burning in more
complete and effective manner, the emit
ted rays change to violet.
The flame of candle or lamp consists
of a series of eccentric luminous shells
surrounding a central dark core These
shells of flame emit light of different col
ors, the innermost one-that in direct con-
tact with the dark core-being red and
having a temperature of exactly 977 de-
grees F. Upon this and In their proper
order Of refrangibility, are shells of light
which are orange, yellow, green, blue, in
digo and violet The reason that such a
flame does not appear to us as nest of
cones of different colOrcd light Is this
When we look upon such flame, all of
the rays issuing from the different layers
or strata of concentric luminous shells are
received by the retina of the eye at one
and the same time. This can only impress
with the sensation of neutral or white
light.-St Louis Republic.

ton to order at l2:20 O'Clock, the meet
ing being held in the Opera House, and
as result of his partisan ruling there
was fifty minutes of pandemonium and
then bolt.
When the convention was called to
order John H. Henderson, of William
son, at once arose and addressed the
chair, but was not recognized by Stew
art, whose eye rested about that time
on L. +. Eslick, of Giles. The latter
was recognized, and placed in nomina-
ton for temporary chairman n. b.
Cheairs, of Maurv, and at once moved
that Cheairs he elected by reclamation.
Stewart not only wholly ignored Hen
derson, who intended to nominate c. r.
Berry, of Williamson, but put the mo-
ton to nominate Cheairs by acclama-
ton and failed to even call the negative
side, declaring Cheairs to he the tenn
porary chairman.
Cheairs at once resumed the gavel
and an unprecedented scene Of pande
monium followed. The Cox men re-
fused to recognize Cheairs and called
for Stewart, who failed to respond. The
members of the Williamson county del
egation left their seats and mounting the
stage, demanded that Cheairs retire.
They were followed by Whitthorne
men, who urged Cheairs to stand firm.
The outlook for trouble was so plain
that at Whitthorne's request his friends
left the stage, and number OF police
were called in and forced the Cox men
to leave the stage, pistols being in evil
dence. Then there were several con-
ferences. The Cox men proposed that
if Cheairs would decline they would
agree to elect u. w. Ewing, of Giles,
Whitthorne man-to be chairman, but
unless Cheairs did retire they would
bolt the convention.
Cheairs' announcement that he was
for the fair thing was greeted with de-
risive shrieks. He said that he had
been elected temporary chairman, and
by the eternal gods, he proposed to pre-
side. "Tf we are not going to agree"
said he, "let us disagree at once" He

Very Unfair and Arbitrary.

A very grave complexion of affairs
exists in the Seventh Congressional
District, there being two Democratic
claimants for the nomination, Hon. n.
N. Cox, the present incumbent, and
Senator VIM. J. Whitthorne, and unless
the differences are adjusted, the dis
trict will most certainly be lost to the
Democracy in November. From the
press reports of the convention proceed
ings at Columbia Tuesday, the Whit
thorne men were very unfair, and de-
termined to override all precedents in
their efforts to achieve victory, even re-
fusing Cox delegate the privilege of
nominating a man for temporary chair
man, an arbitrary ruling that the Cox
men resented by leaving the hall, hold
ing separate convention and nominal
ing Cox. The Whitthorne men then
had smooth sailing and nominated their
man in short order-West Tennessee
