Assumption Corrected.

The travelling American must ex-
pect to be taken down. occasional
ly in the old world, when his love
for his own country leads him, after
the manner of all patriotic travel
ers, to vaunt it a little. An amusing
instance of this kind is related by a
correspondent of the New York
Post, writing Of a visit to Grey
friars churchyard at Edinburgh.
The sexton was a man of Aber-
deenshire and took pleasure in
showing the visitor the grave of
Duncan Ban Maointyre, Gaelic
poet, and in Interpreting the Gaelic
inscription on it, as if it were the
chief glory of his charge. His heart
was in the highlands plainly. The
visitor had been at Greyfriars' be-
fore and said to the sexton, as the
old man pocketed his fee:
II have seen your highlands since
I was here last. y
"Oh!' said he, with inimitable
highland infection. "And had We
never been there beforea''
"No, have never been in Scot
land before. l live in America"
ooh! Ills graund country that. .
America? It is indeed!"
The old man looked up in utter
surprise. NAY, nay, he said i'm
patiently, "the hollands! A graund
country!"

A Peculiar Worm.

An animal growing between the
high and low water marks on the
Japanese coasts is a mud worm call
ed ISABELLA. It occupies hard limy
tube of its own making and gets its
food, when the high tide comes up
over its hiding place, by thrusting
out head bushy with tentacles and
sucking in currents of water loaded
with minute particles of nutrilnent.
Out of this wriggling creature the
shore people make soup, which is
true vermicelli, not paste imita-
ton of little worms!' and is said
to taste as badly as it smells.

Deadlock Broken.
NASHVILLE, Feb. 2.-The Democratic
legislative caucus on the first ballot last
night nominated for senator Thomas B.
Turley Of Memphis, to fill out the unex-
PRED term of Isham G.. Harris and who
was appointed by Governor Taylor SEN
ator after Senator Harris death. The
result was a surprise to all spectators,
for it was not expected the deadlock
would be broken. The ballot stood j:
Turley, IS; McMillin, 43 Taylor, l.
Efforts had been made during the
day to induce Turley to withdraw in
Taylor's behalf. 1t is stated he posi-
lively refused. Then negotiations to
deliver the Taylor vote to Turley were
begun, and resulted in the dropping of
Taylor and the delivery of sufficient
number of votes to Turley to nominate.
Senator Turley was notified and brought
to the capitol and addressed large au-
dience.
The joint convention of the two
houses of the legislature elected Mr..
Turley senator today His term will

THE GREAT PACIFIC.
The Future of That Ocean Is the Future
of the World.

The Future of That Ocean Is the Future
of the World.
The relations of the great powers
are changing, and the Pacific is be.
coming the center of their striving.
The powers that adjoin this ocean
are destined to be the actors in the
next drama of the world and the
Pacific the stage thereof. England
is the greatest of these powers.
This she owes to Canada and to her
possessions in the east. Russia is
destined to future greater than
England's present. France is max
ing desperate efforts to build up for
herself an Asiatic foothold in this
company. China's vast population
and wide territory make her another
factor in the problem. She may be
conquered and enslaved for years,
but the great vitality, the great in
dividuality, the exclusive cohesive
ness OF her people, seem to destine
her to an ultimately independent
national existence. She must even
tually emerge from her position of
subsection and inferiority and be-
come one of the great nations of the
earth. Japan role will be smaller
one, but the inherent identity of her
interests with China's must make
them allies against Europe in work
ing out their common destiny. In
the handy of these powers lies the
future Of the Pacific, and the future
of the Pacific is the future of the
world
Our country cannot shut its eyes
to this condition. The people of
America, with a rapidly increasing
population producing more than
they can consume, with an aggres-
sive character that brooks no oppo-
sition, with coast line greater than
that of any power of Europe, dotted
with fiourishing cities, constitute a
factor in the future of the orient
that no apathy, no neglect, can be-
little. Whatever policy we may
have inherited as to entanglements
with European powers must be dis
carded here. The people of the
United States must not be content
to see their neighbors to the west,
with their boundless potentialities
of trade, handed over, an uncontest-
ed prize, to the ambitions of Eu-
rope. America may attempt to
evade the responsibility thrust upon
her. She may, with shortsighted
resolution, turn her face away from
her great future, but she will not
succeed. The markets of the orient
are the heritage of her merchants
and the time will inevitably come
when the voice of the republic will
be heard in oriental courts with the
same accent of authority as in the
commemorative of South America.
It will be we'll if the certainty of
this destiny could be recognized be-
fore European craftsmanship has
barred the way with ''vested inter

posed any measure which he believed to
be in the interests Of organized laoor was
a simple juggle Of words which will not
pull much wool over the eyes OF the work
ing people. The question is not whether
he opposed any measure which he thought
beneficial, but whether he opposed any
measure which they thought beneficial,
and which they demanded. On this point,
his record is written in the legislative his
tory Of the State, and has been weighed
by the labor organizations Of the State
and found wanting.
There were several other smaller mat
tiers which Mr.. Voorhees, felt called upon
to explain, much to the disgust Of the old
campaigners, who believe that in politics,
as well as love, the man who explains is
rapidly becoming a lost cause. while the
prospects of Democratic success in this
State grow brighter and brighter with
each day. Wherever Mr.. Voorhees, APP
pears and speaks, he does himself injury.
He has all the air of a man who does not
believe in himself or in the justice Of his
claims. He has the air of a man who is
fighting a hopeless battle. of which he is
tired, who wishes at was all over so he
could get home and hide himself.
Mr.. Voorhees, is really an object Of
sympathy. He is a nice amiable gentle
man, altogether too delicate and sensitive
to carry the Republican load of sin
through a campaign.
