Patterson's Persistence.

With a persistence that never
tires, that rugged old Paladin of
Democracy, writes "Savoyard" to
the Courier-Journal, Josiah Patter-
sou, spent the winter in Washington
pushing his contest for the seat in
Congress now held by E. w. Car
mack.
The majority members of the
committee are unanimous in their
report that Patterson was elected,
and as soon as the House gets a
whack at it he will be seated,
and when his name goes on the roll
there will be but one ADLER man in
the House, and he the Speaker. He
will be ostracised on the Bryanite
side of the House; but little he cares
for that. Had he been the oppor-
tunist that most of the Bryanite
leaders are he would have been
chosen the successor of Isham G..
Harris in the Senate, for he is by
long odds the ablest man in Ten
nessee. He will be slandered and
denounced as an enemy of the South,
this man who was the last Confed-
crate to surrender east of the Mis-
sissippi. He will be pointed at as
bolter-this man who refused to
follow his party into the Populist
camp.
1t is little he will care, and the man
who openly attacks him may look
out for squalls, for old Joe is amply
able to take care of himself. Two
hundred years ago, when the politi-
cal conditions in England were not
wholly dissimilar from what they
are in America today, Bolingbroke
said: "Liberty has been the cry of
one set of men, as prerogative, was
formerly of another. But it has
been no more than cry; and the
cause of liberty has been as little re-
garded by those leaders who gave
it out to their followers as the case
of st. George or st. Dennis was con-
cerned in the battles of the English
and the French" The cause of
Democracy in this country is in the
hands of paternalists. Jerry Simp-
son is leader on the Democracy
side of Congress, and Jerry is an
avowcd Socialist. There is not a
single leader on the Democratic side
who is not a fiatist. Democracy
on the lips of such men means moth
ing and is nothing. Old Joe Pat
tersOn knows this, and he will prob
ably have something to say before
the session closes.
Jerry Simpson would as soon see
the eternal devil himself take his
seat in the House as old Josiah. 1t
was in the Fifty-third Congress that
they had a bout. Old Joe was
making a speech in favor of the re-
peal of the Sherman law. Jerry
interrupted him to call attention to
the fact that a year before he made
strong silver speech. go, yes,
yes" retOrted Patterson, $50 |
did. Tom Carlyle said that consist
ency was the bugaboo of little minds.
| have never held to the doctrine OF
once fool always fool" Jerry is
very thin-skinned man. The shaft
went home. 1t ranked and Tester
ed, and what was worse Jerry was
not Spartan enough to conceal the
wound but he never again tackled
old Joe openly.

The amount of something over
$500, 900 borrowed by state to pay
interest and meet other necessary
expenses last year is gradually being
wiped out. Already State Treas,
urer Craig has paid on this debt this
year s425, ZOO and Monday he sent
another darft to the fiscal agents of
the state in New York for 500. 600
to pay a note for that amount due
on the 25th. The debt now outstand-
ing is 1915, 900, but this 500. 600
will reduce it to 1915, 900. Another
note for $4,000 will be due
on the Slst, and the Treasurer ex-
poets to have money to meet this
also. The money to liquidate this
obligation Las come into the treasury
through the ordinary sources, col
lections turned in by trustees and
other revenue collectors. The
receipts from ordinary sources so
far this month have been 1882. 900
and last months collections were
S40S, 900. Last month the collec-
lions from trustees alone were 1884.

An exchange having demanded to
know ''who the dickens is Grover
Cleveland?" the Coffeeville Miss. }
Courier makes this singing reply:
Grover Cleveland is the man who
twice led the Democratic hosts to
victory and was twice elected to the
Presidency of these United States.
Grover Cleveland is the man who
placed Lamar in the Cabinet, and
afterwards made him Judge of the
Supreme Court. Grover Cleveland
is the man who made it possible
and gave to the country the valua-
bic services of Fitzhugh Lee, Walter
B. Barker and host of other good
Southern men, and Grover Cleveland.
or some man with the same character
of backbone, will be the one who
will lead the Democratic party when
it shall return to its pristine power
and wrest from the Republican
party control of this government.
This is our answer.

selection of candidates for County
offices. They could see no necessi-

that all the candidates announced
are democrats. Their course will
be approved by ninty-nine one-hun-

they propose to allow others to do so.

When DR.. Schweninger arrived at
Frledrichsrhue railway station shortly
after 10 o'clock Saturday evening the
two Counts Won Rantzau were waiting
with a carriage, and the physician was
driven furiously to the castle, where
he found the prince already uncon-
scious.
According to an unofficial account the
death agony was prolonged. The
prince died without taking leave of the
family. For fully an hour he suffered
terrible difficulty in breathing, and his
groans were fearful to hear during the
death struggle. His powerful consti-
tuition fought to the last. The family,
gathered in an adjoining room, was
plunged into the very anguish of grief
by the means from the death chamber.
The despair was intensified by DIT.
SChweninger's absence, although medi-
cal art was unavailing. The only con-
ISOLATION was that the prince was un-
conscious during the last two hours.
DR. Schweninger was in time only to
afford some relief in the final moments.
The last words Prince Bismarck ut
tered were addressed to his daughter,
Countess Won Rantzau, who wiped the
perspiration from his forehead. They
were: Thanks, my child"
The prince lies as he used to sleep,
in an easy position, with his head
slightly inclined to the left. The ex-
preston on his face is mild and peace
full. 1t is remarked that his head re-
mained warm for an unusually long
time.
In accordance with Prince Bis
marcks wish he will be buried upon
the hill opposite the castle, in the vicin-
ity of Hirschgruppe.
