A SONG OF GAIN.

We are indebted to Mr.. John Trot-
wood Moore for copy of the poem
below. The talented authOress lives
in Atlanta, and is one of the editors
of the Alkahest Magazine, being the
wife Of Prof. Mcconnell, editor OF
the Alkahest. Mr.. Moore pro-
nounces this to be in his opinion, the
best poem ever written by a wolnan :
Loving must ever be pain;
Beautiful, passionate pain.
But sweet and complete it's tender re-
frain,
And to love and to prove is gain, is gain
Living must ever be pain;
lettering, pittiless pain.
But surer and purer the life we attain
So to live and to give is gain, is gain.
Dying must ever be pain;
SOrrowful, desOlate pain.
But the grave is to save the soul of the
slain,
And even to die is gain, is gain.

ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY.

Tennessee has justified the hopes
of the country, and Tennesseans
have given the Democratic Party
another opportunity to regain its
fading prestige and do something to
entitle it to further confidence.
The Democrats have not been
satisfied of late years with the adj
ministration of State affairs. There
has been too much of craftsmanship.
too much of cheap politics, too much
of extravaganza, too little of busi
ness methods. The country wants
more business and less politics in
their laws. The people want laws
that will protect them against the
robbie" rates of soulless corporations;
and laws that will protect corpora
tons in their rights against the
greed of mercenary, heartless men;
laws that will give equal and exact
justice to all, special privileges to
none. They are tired of so much
talk on this line, and are clamOrOus
for a fulfillment of these oft re-
peated promises.
1t is a fact that Tennessee has
been eXtravagan;ly run; that there
are too many feeders at the public
crib; too many hangers on at the
State Capitol; too many rings, too
much of bossism, too much machine
work. Too many bad laws have
been made; too many good laws
have been partially executed.
The people have suffered and en-
dured and partially borne these
evils for long time in the name
ard for the sake Of their party, but
with weakening spirit and failing
loyalty until Tennessee had become
indeed and in fact doubtful State.
1t was at this dangerous stage that
the Chattanooga convention met
and seeing and realizing the danger
ahead, made platform ringing with
Reform. With all that, the rank and
file of the party were doubtful, dis
trustful, lethargic and hard to
arouse. They sulked in their tents
and refused to be comfOrted for a
time. But by the most strenuous
efforts they were aroused once more
and by their verdict have said, We
will give you one more trial. If the
McMillin administration is what il
promises to be; what we know his
experience and ability can make i
if he will, then we will all get bacl
in line two years hence, and give
him majority he may live and di'
proud of. But il not; if our affair
are run in the same loose, disjointed
extravagant fashion, then look on
for squalls; for "rather than endure
the ills we have, we will fly to thos
we wot not Of"

All of these states elected Con-

lima, Rhode Island, Virginia and

10000 Majority.

With twelve counties to hear from
McMillin's majority over Fowler is
$3.50. OF these twelve counties ten
are Republican and two are Demo-
cratic. If the Republican counties
continue their habit this time of
bobbing up in the Democratic col
umn, there is no telling what the
Democratic majority will be. 1t
looks now as if 1t will be a safe
30. 600.

The following Congressman were
elected, the only change in the dele

Dem. Pop; Fourth, Snodgrass,
DEM; Fifth, Richardson, Dem.
Sixth, Gaines, Dem; Seventh, Cox,
Dem. Eighth, Sims, Dem; Ninth,

Brownlow and Gibson were both
elected by decreased majorities, and
in Brown'ow's district, the re-
suit is said to be uncomfortable
close.

CHAIRMAN CHEAIRs is entitled to
all the encomiums his friends are
heaping upon him. 1t is largely due
to his fine executive ability and un-
firing energy that Maury County
gave McMillin majority 700 larger
than "Our Bob" received two years
ago, and three times greater than
"Old Pete's" majority four years
ago. At Democratic headq uarters
in Nashville they say no county in
the State was better managed than
Maury.

MAURY and Giles are by odds the
largest counties in this COngression-
al district. Two years ago they cast
the same Democratic vote, $500
each, and their presentation in
the Congressional convention was
the same. But in the CongressiOn-
al convention two years hence,
Maury will Out-class Giles. Neither
will have the strength they had be-
fore, but Maury will have five or SIX
more votes than Giles. Maury's
vote will be about 26, while Giles,
from present indications will have
about 81. There has been a consid-
cradle fall off in all the counties,
and it will require perhaps third
less to nominate in the convention
two years hence, than this year if
there had been convention. Maury
has more nearly held her own than
any of her sister counties in this dis
trict; consequently Der strength will
even be greater in proportion than
heretofore. These are important
pointers to the friends of prospec-
tive candidates.

THE DOrtch law and the poll tax
law are largely responsible for the
small vote in Tennessee. But that
does not argue, by any means, that
these are bad laws. Itrather proves
the contrary to be true. A man who
lacks the intelligence and ambition
to learn to read a plainly printed
ticket, is an exception in his class
II he deserves the free use Of the bal
lot. And man who is not willing
to pay two dollars year to the
school fund of Tennessee, lacks the
patriotism to make him a safe voter
to choose law makers. These laws
may and doubtless do work injustice
to a deserving few; but in the main
the class affected are either densely
ignorant, low or vicious, and a law
which excludes them is for the
greatest good to the greatest mum
Der. The incoming legislature We
hope will let these laws severely
alone; but the Election Commits
sioner laws is purely partisan and
should be repealed.
