hatch 1t frequently. What is that? :?
His biographer says the most material
article in his political creed was that
''the will of the majority must govern.
This may sometimes err, but it's errors
are honest, solitary and short. lived"
Thero is no special democracy in that.
All parties endorse it. Jefferson said
that difference in politics was not
reason for the removal of competent
and faithful officers and he did not re.
move but very few while he was presi-
dent, and those were for misconduct.
But now the democratic doctrine is to
turn the rascals out and every Office
holder is presumed to be q rascal.
[ have tried in vain to mako
these modern political garments
tit Thomas Jefferson, but they
won't do it. In his day there was no
quarrel over gold and silver, nor state
banks, nor income tax. He went into
office in good circumstances and came
out insolvent. Even his home at Mon
ticello was levied on and would have
been sold but for the generosity of n
few wealthy friends. After his second
term was out he was not sure of being
allowed to go home without arrest and
giving bond. On becoming public
man he resolved never to engage in
any kind of enterprise to improve his
fortune. Ec kept this resolve faith
fully for fifty years, which wns as long
ms he held Office. He married young
and beautiful widow and could play
the violin exquisitely, both of which
were democratic usagcs, and still are,
though neither playing the fiddle nor
shooting ducks are put in any modern
platform.
But the Issue now Is concerning the
currency, Gn abstruse speculative qucs-
ticn about which the average man
knows SO little that he ought to be
ashamed to talk and thereby show his
ignorance. And yet there are here
and there good citizens who profess to

a Pathetic d


One of the pathetic little incidents
which row and then crop up in a
conference session occurred Thursday
when the characters Of the superan-
uated preachers were being passed
in the Southern Methodist Confer
ence at Roanoke. When the name of
Rev. j. w. Tongue, of this place,
was called, he arose and in a ~faltering
voice expressed his love for his
brethren in the ministry and said he
did not expect to attend conference
another year. He had closed his
seventy-fifth year he said, ffty-six of
which he had spent in the ministry.
He felt that he was worn out, that
his life was practically at an end and
the supreme moment was not far off.
He felt that he would not meet his
brethren again on earth, but expect
ed to see them all above. When
he sat down a dozen members of the
conference started up the old hymn,
''How sweet it will be in that beauti-
full land, so free from all sorrow and
and pain" Everybody joined in
and the hymn was sung by the
preachers, while down the faces of
many the tears were streaming.

A bold and well nigh successful
attempt was made Tuesday night to
rob the store of Mr.. S. Fl. Lands,
in the Sadler building. The burglar
or burglars had cut out a panel of the
real door sufficient to get a hand in
and turn the key in the lock and
unscrew the bar-lock on one side.
A little more cutting would have
made the aperture sufficient to reach
the bar-lock on the other side, and
then all would have been plain sail
ing so far as effecting an entrance
was concerned. At this j%uncture,
however, work was suspended, and
as Mr.. Luther Beavers, clerk of Mr..
Landis, and Mr.. Thomas Knight,
assistant of Mr. Sadler, returned
from a trip 10 the country about one
o'clock, and went to Mr.. Sadler's
stable to put their horse away, it is
supposed they frightened the thieves
off ; otherwise Mr.. Lands would
probably have found a considerable
hole in his stock Wednesday morn
ing.
