If somebody hadn't told us about
1t, and II Ii was not Tor an occasional
glimpse at the HERALD's announce
ment column, we would hardly rec
ognize this as an election year. IL
Is really too tame TO be interesting.
And yet we commend 1t. 1t is nicer
aud better and more to be desired
than the hurrah, speaking, drinking,
rowdy elections we used to have. 1t
is not only so in Maury, but in the
other counties of this Congressional
district. All Is quiet and serene.
There are three entries in the field,
but the race is between two of them,
Padgett and Boyd, and they are both
running smooth aud easy. The
friends of one are not urging any
thing especially against the other;
in fact the friends of one are not in
anywise enemies OF the other. But
they are saying this about Mr.. Boyd;
she has a good office, and ought to
be satisfied for the present" Mr..
McMillln's double Darrell candi-
dacy has intensified the public mind
against the effort to monopolize two
offices, and has popularized the ida
that when man asks for an office
and is elected, it is a trust he has
no right to abandon until his time
Is out. It is not unusual to hear a
farmer say, "if [ hire man for q
year, | don't expect him to quit
me at the end of six months" The
giving and taking Of an office is in
the nature of a contract. The people
when they elect man, enter into a
contract to employ MIN for certain
length of time, and cannot discharge
him without good cause; and on the
other hand, he, when he accepts the
Office, takes upon himself a n implied
obligation to faithfully attend 10
the duties of that office for the full
term for which he was elected,
and should not lightly cast
aside an honor the people have be-
slowed upon him ora responsibility
he has voluntarily assumed. Be-
sides, Mr.. Boyd is young man and
has time to wait; especially as he
is being 30 well taken care of while
he is waiting. But in addition to
these arguments against Mr.. Boyd,
Mr.. Padgett's close canvass of the
district, and his markedly able
speeches, have made him many
friends and strengthened i'm great
ly, and his friends say they are
ready any day for the nominating
convention or primary to be called

Two West End merchants, we are
reliably informed, sell goods on Sun
day just the same as any other day
in tive week; and Attorney-General
Boyd and the grand jury, whose at
tention was called to it, could find
no law to stop them. But there is
another way TO stop this dissertation
of the Sabbath. Let the good peo-
pie who believe that the Sabbath
should be observed, do all their
dealing with those who observe that
day. Let them refuse. positively
absolutely and point blank, to buy
any thing any day in the week from
a man who keeps his house open and
sells goods on Sunday. 1t is re-

should transfer their trade, all of it

to those merchants who observe the
Sabbath from q moral, christiat

them to or not. To say moth

sentiment of the age recognizes
Sunday as sacred day of rest. ant

ty in which they live. If they d.
not, then the way to compel them il

GOVERNOR Mount of Indiana, has
refused to honor Governor Beck
hams requisition for the eXtradition
of w. s. Taylor. The Indiana Gov
ernor gives as his reason that his
fugitive protege is being persec uted

given him in Kentucky. The best
way out of the difficulty would be

THE Speakers veto is getting to be
serious thing. It has no constitu

of overriding it. 1t not only stops
legislation, but stops it before it be-

tending towards one-man power.

The Columbia Journal OF this
week announces a change of
management. Col. A. s. Horsley
and Col. Rolfe Saunders having
leased the property for one or more
years. Col. Horsley is the Nestor
of journalism in Maury County, and
very few men have ever had a
warmer place in the hearts of this
people than he had as editor of the
HERALD some eighteen or twenty
years ago, and he has concluded to
quit his wanderings in the wood
and return tn his first love. His
friends will find him at the old
stand, the same old unreconstructed
rebel, the same old dyed. in. the-wool
Democrat, and wearing the same
old genial smile as Of yore. Col
Saunders is also veteran journalist,
a straight Democrat and good writer
At present he is Editor of "Democ.
racy," weekly political paper p7b.

derstood, he will move to Columbia

greeting, and the right hand OF fel

THE Legislative Offices are going
begging. Nobody seems to want
to go What used to be considered
q place of honor ia now considered
a questionable occupation. That
should not be so. The place does
not make the man, but the man the
place. Law making Ia indeed an
honorable vocation, il honorable
men are law makers, and it il by the
best men refusing to stand for cleo
ton, that the legislature has fallen
into disrepute. MAury county,
though entitled to three members,
has no candidate; though number
of good men have been solicited to
run. That condition will not con-
tinue. If capable and deserving men
will not consent to take the places
then incompetent and designing ones
will soon begin to ask for them
And to those who ask, 1t is generally
given. To an honest, conscientious
man, there is neither profit nor pleas
ure in going to the legislature. But
there is an honor in it to such mar
who will make the sacrifice from a
sense of duty. The genius who goe:
there for fun or frollc, and learns the
trick of spending ten dollars a day
on five dollar salary, and the mar
who either gives or takes any of thu
corruption fund, is a disgrace tt
| himself and curse to his country
But the man of honest purpose, whC
will go there not to play politics o
poker, but to study the interests 0
his people and to serve his country
cannot be better employed. 1t mat
ters not who he is or how exalted
his station, no man is too big or too
busy or too great for patriotic worl
like that.

ONE of the most painful surprises
as we'll as one of the biggest disap-
pointments we have experienced in
public men since Grover Cleveland
deserted to the enemy, is the at
titude Mayor Head of Nashville has
assumed toward the liquor dealers
and gamblers of Nashville. We
have not yet been able to bring our:
selves to believe that all the press
and preachers of Nashville say
about Mr.. Head is true. We
cannot believe it. Certainly he has
had too much experience in life,
and has observed too much, to be-
lieve one minute that "moral
suasion" can restrain these classes
in the least, 80 far as their business
is concerned. AS individuals they
may have private virtues of their
own. You may find among their
number good husband, or devoted
father, or true friend, or charitable
man. "Moral sussion" may lead and
does lead some of them, as individuals
to kind and generous deeds. But that
is outside of their business, and an
individual act. When it comes to
business, and as a class-and that is
how the Mayor must deal with them
you had as soon hope to reform
the SOW from her wallow or the dog
from his vomit, as to talk the
Righteousness of Sunday Jaws or
the morality of anti-gambling laws
to the liquor dealers and the gam
blers. First place, they are deaf to
''moral suasion," or they would not
be in the business they are. Nota
one Of them but some sweet old
mother, or clinging, devoted wife, or
loving sister, or pure. young daugh-
ter, has plead and cried and prayed
with them, that they might stop
their poison mills and robbery dens !;
but they would not. How does the
Mayor then hope to persuade them?
The liquor dealers and gamblers fear
neither devil nor man. The only
thing they do fear is the law. That
and that only, can control them. A
etrick enforcement of that, would
run them out of business. Under
the law they are not allowed
to sell on Sunday, or to sell to
minors; they are not allowed to
sell to confirmed or habitual drunk
ards, or to have any gambling at
tachments connected Herewith. III
those laws were strictly enforced, il
would so reduce their sales that
there would no longer be any profii
in the business, and two out of three
of them would have to shut up shop
Mayor Head should enforce the
law. He caunot do it of course
by himself, but with the press anC
pulpit behind him, he can. If The
police are inefficient or too few, hi
should employ any number of privat,
detectives to do the work. The law
are sufficient; the liquor men anC
gamblers can be controlled; anC
when any public official decides the!
cannot, he should step down and on
and give the office over into more de
termined hands.

league would precipitate war. announce

would be somewhere on the South side,
and that Mr.. Hart himself had asked
the American association to place club
here Mr. Johnson says further that the
other National league magnates were
aware Of the request made by Hart, and
that all of them seconded the suggestion.
He intimates that Harris change of mind
is due to the fact that the association
bubble, which appeared on the baseball
horizon last October, when the promise
of cooperation is alleged to have been
made, burst suddenly within the last. two
weeks.
Self-preservation is given as the main
reason for placing a club of the minor
organization in Chicago. The American
magnates say it would be an impossible
ity to conduct the league with Western
circuit leaving out this city. In a state
ment given out President Johnson char
