SANCTUM SENTIMENTS.

at is good day for citizenship
when any office goes out searching
for an upright man. This was pleas
ingly illustrated few days ago
when candidates for the legislature
were being nominated at Columbia,
MauTy County, Tenn. l.. P. Padg-
EFT, the well-knOwn Cumberland
Presbyterian ruling elder, who up
on several occasions has so accept
ably served as the temporary mod
orator of our General Assembly, re-
ceived, unsolicited, the enthusiastic
nomination at the hands of his fell
low citizens Cor the State Senate.
A dispatch from Columbia to a
Nashville paper says: AT the men,
tiOn of Mr.. Padgett's name there
was a prolonged applause, and he
received the nomination on the
SECOND ballot, his opponent having
withdrawn. Mr.. Padgett is not only
a leading lawyer of Columbia, but of
the entire State. He is moral
man, staunch Democrat and could
have had the nomination for Con-
gress of the Seventh District or any
thing else in the gift of this people
at any time within the past ten
years, but his business would not ad-
NIT of it, and to.day's nomination
was sprung on him as a surprise and
was wholly unsOught' After all, in
tegrity counts for more in the end
than mere scheming shrewdness,
and honesty is the best-politics.' -

BILE sires: "They can say politically
what Saint Peter said religiously
Il have fought good fight, | have
kept the faith, have finished the
work given me to do" Morgan
Fitzpatrick does or should know
better than this. Peter didn't say
anything of the kind. The Apostle
Paul, while in prison at Rome, in
his second epistle to Timothy, said
II have fought good fight, 1 have
finished my course, l have kept the
faith" Our Office testament will be
gladly sent to the committee on ap-
plicattOn.-OblOn Democrat.
Alger is reported to have said that
the mismanagement of the War De-
partment was due to general mex
perience." To some extent, yes.
But general ineXperience was due
mainly to general incompetence,
and worse, at the head of the War

Gov. TANNER, of Illinois, has
raised a new issue in law and poll
tics. The mine owners at Varder,
ILL.,, have had some trouble with
their miners, and a strike ensued.
The mine owners declared they
would import car load Of negroes
from Alabama, to take the place of
the strikers, who were white union
laborers. The miners rebelled
against this, and appealed to the
Governor to prevent the threatened
importation of non-uniOn, colored
labor, and the Governor commanded
the mine owners not to bring this
labor to the mines, telling them it
would precipitate a riot and blood
shed. But the mine owners brought
them in just the same-a car load OF
negroes, armed to the teeth; a riot
was precipitated and several men
on both sides were killed. Now
these are the facts, and the new
point raised by the Governor is this :
He says that the mine owners, un-
der the circumstances and knowing
the facts and having been warned
that the importation of this labor
would precipitate riot, are re-
sponsible for the consequences of
their acts that they are murderers,
because they have provoked muir
der; that they should be, and he
believes will be, indicted and
convicted of murder. "These
avaricious mine owners" he says,
shave forgotten their duty to So
ciety, and none such shall be
tolerated while 1 am Governor OF
Illinois" He takes the position
that a poor mans labor is "hi:
property" and that he has as much
right to fight in defense of it as the
rich have in defense of their prop
erty. The ground is hardly tenable
we think, but there is no telling
what day may bring forth in tbi;
country, where the chasm between
the classes is widening every day
where tens of thousand of robus
men are begging for work, and their
families starving for bread. There
is one thing dead certain. The rich
are becoming too rich, and the poo
are becoming too many. Something
must be done to change this ten
dency to extreme wealth or poverty
or the child is already born whC
will live to see a revolution in thit
country, which, for the want of
better name, the historian may call
"the massacre of the millionaires.'

Yellow Fever Epidemic Has Paralyzing
Effect on Mississippi's Capital.
The yellow fever epidemic con-
tinues to spread, although the plague
is of a decidedly less malignant type
than ever before known; but the
panic has been no less complete
Than during more fatal epidemics
At Jackson, Miss, the fever has had
a most paralyzing effect. The maj
or portion of the population has fed,
the newspapers have suspended, the
churches are closed and the business
is for the time being practically

MEssRs. PADGETT, Fry, PORTER
AND OLIVER, the Democratic legts-
lative nominees, have no opposition.
That shows that the people want
good men and will elect them when
they have a chance. 1t is the fault
of their leaders when the people do
wrong. Left to themselves, with no
corrupting influences to tempt them,
no bad men to deceive them, the
majority of the people will always
do right.

THE soldiers are coming; about
2, 50OO of them viii soon be encamped
in or near Columbia. They will
bring some trade with them, but,
unless they are different from other
encampments they will also bring
with them a corresponding amount
of rowdyism and drunkenness.
Trade purchased at such price, we
think, is dearly bought; and we very
much fear that some of our citizens
who have been instrumental in
bringing this encampment here,
will not be proud of their work a
month hence. We do not criticise
the motives of those who differ with
us. 1t is a question upon which the
good people seem to be about
equally divided. But from what
we read in the newspapers of the
behavior Of encampments else
where; from what we hear by word
Of mouth from those who have
visited cities where these encamp-
ments are, we are forced to the con-
clusion that the soldier boys are not
very desirable neighbOrs. Our en-
campment NAV be an exception to
the rule; we hope it is, for as a rule
they are an unmitigated nuisance.
They are young men as rule, away
from home and restraining local in
fuences. In addition to that they
are in state of enforced idleness;
and they are dissatisfied with their
| lot; in a moment of enthusiastic
patriotism, they joined the Ameri-
can army to fight the Span
| iards; they have not been allowed
to fight, and now they are mad be-
cause they have not been given a
chance, and because they are not
likely to get one. They are disap-
pointed, dissatisfied and detected.
n this state of suspense and chagrin,
they are easy victims to the saloon
temptation, and then follows all the
folles and vices which so abundant
ly accompany the curse of liquor
drinking. The trade from this en-
campment will be rich harvest for
the saloons and other questionable
resorts; and the money spent at these
places will find its way into other
channels Of trade. But the HERALD
hcontends that money made at the
sacrifice of morals, whether to the
individual or the public, is i'll gotten
gain that brings no permanent bless
ing with it. Time will develop
whether we are wrong, or whether
some of our friends have allowed
their zeal for trade to lead them
into a grievous error of judgment.

BLOODY BATTLE IN ILLINOIS,

A bloody battle took place at Vir-
den, Ill.,, last Tuesday between
striking union miners and negro
miners who were being imported
from the South to take the strikers
places. The negroes had just
arrived, when the miners opened
fire on their train with Winchesters,
revolvers and firearms of all de-
scriptiOns, the negroes on the train
answering with steady fire. AS a
result, ten men were shot to death
and eighteen wounded, some OF
whom will die. In an interview
Gov. Tanner scores the mine own
ers, and says they are morally re-
spOnsible for every murder com
mitted.

THE fast thinning ranks of the
boys who wore the gray, had another
love feast at Pulaski, yesterday and
the day before. The sacred memory
of a common cause as dear as life it,
self, makes these reunions what they
are, and bind together with hooks of
love-strOnger than steel-the heroes
of lost cause. May God bless and
prosper each and every one of them
in this life, and when done with
them here unite them with their
comrades gone before to the home
prepared for them above.

OUR friends the enemy, if we are
not mistaken, are playing a shrewd,
sly game. They will not run any
opposing candidates to our legisla-
tive ticket, and their reason is
plausible, and not without truth.
We agree With them that tits most
excellent ticket; an unusually good
one, and one they could not hope to
defeat. But is that all? We sus-
pect not. The republicans are rely
ing upon the apathy in the Demo.
cratic ranks to defeat the Demo
cratic nominee for Governor. And
now you begin to see that no fight
in the legislative race will encOur'
age that apathy in this county, and
may possibly cost Mr.. McMillin
sOmes four or five hundred votes
and four or five hundred stay-at-
homes here, and four or five hun
dred stay-at- homes there, might
possibly turn the State over to their
little man Fowler and his big Boss
Brownlow. That's the trick, we
suspect; and now you know it, you
know how to prevent it. Go to
the polls and vote, and see thai
every Democrat in your neighbor'
hood does likewise.

THIS was not good year to hold
wheat. Last year was. This year
the farmer is holding the wheat;
last year the Spectator had it and
held it. The farmer raises the wheat,
but the speculator manipulates the
market. The bucket shop like the
lottery, ought to be driven out Of
business. The stock gambler, like
the common gambler with dice or
cards, ought to be outlawed. All
sorts, kinds and conditions of gam
bling is wrong; and whatever is
wrong ought to be condemned by
law, for law is supposed to be right.

lowing resolutions were read and
adopted:
Whereas, it has pleased Almighty
God in his allwise providence to
remove from our midst our beloved
brother and pastor J. V. Krepps,
who has for the past few years a.
bored so faithfully in the Masters
cause; and, whereas, we the COM
munity deeply mourn his loss. He
was at all times a most jealous
worker in all religious causes, and
ever ready to do anything to adj
vance Christ's kingdom.
Resolved 1st. That while we sub
NIT humbly and reverently to the
divine will of God, we offer our
heartfelt sympathy to his grief
stricken wife and relatives in their
great bereavement, and that with
them we mourn our loss.
And be it further resolved, That
copy of these resolutions be sent
to the family of the deceased, and
that said resolutions be published
in the newspapers of the county.
Adopted by the Y. M. C. A., the
