Racial Existence.
AS to woman's curiosity, it may
be said at the outset that she is not
SO curious, by an infinite measure, as
is man himself. Women, it is true
are persistently and assiduously cur
ious; but men also are not only per-
sistently and assiduously but patient
ly and systematically curious. 1t is
the character of female curiosity that
makes 1t apparently contemplate
scientific men of every kind have no
raison d'etre for their infinitely pa
tient research save pure curiosity
alone; and their curiosity has no more
purpose in 1t than has the curiosity
OF the woman who cannot rest until
she finds out all discoverable facts
about her neighbors. or the cause of a
mysterious sound by night.
These two forms of curiosity, the
male and the female, originated no
doubt in the early needs of the race
long before men appeared on the earth.
The male animal is interested in the
causes of remote things-things which
upon being run down might turn out
useful for food purposes. The female
is Interested in the quick investigation
OF near and small things which may
turn out menace to the lives of her
young. The female watches with in
tense and lively interest the vicinity
OF the nest or lair; the male is prompt
ed to look abroad-away from the lair,
in or towards fields where his daily
prey is found. These two kinds of
curiosity were among the most potent
instruments in the struggle for racial
existence and in the ultimate devel-
opment of man.-National Magazine

RECORD OF DEMOCRATIC PARTY N
sTATE-sTATE DEBT.

No Democrat need be ashamed of the record
made by the Democratic party in the state.
/ Whatever mistakes 1t has made 1t proposes
to correct but it's service to the people in the
dark days of reconstruction will never be for
gotten long as memory lasts or the history
of those troublous times is read. 1t led dis
franchised people back to power and rehabili-
tated shattered and debt-ridden government
If it had other recommendation, 1t would
be found in its management of the enormous
public debt fastened the State by Republican
corruption and misrule the evil effects of which
still hamper our progress.
A brief summary of the State debt and a COM
parison showing what has been done under
the Democratic and Republican rule will be
con vincing from business standpoint.
On Oct l. 1852 the entire State liability, ac-
tual and contingent. was $16.64s,606. When
the Democrats went out of power during the
war the debt with matured interest about
$40, 600 600. Much of this debt was in aid of
railroad construction which abandoned
during the war, and which would not have been
lost except for this cause
In 1s66-67, when the Republicans were in
power, bonds were issued in aid of railroads,
amounting to $14,513,OOO, although the State
impoverished and more than half Of its
taxpayers disfranchised. The Republicans
claimed that this done to rehabilitate the
railroads. but the figures show that enormous
amounts must have been squandered cor
ruptIy diverted, as was shown when the roads
were sold.
The following will serve to illustrate:

Rogersville g. Jefferson 226.o00 $4,000
Knoxville Charleston 100000 10000
Knoxville Kentucky. 2171,000 100000
When the Democrats came back into power,
June l. 1871 the State debt, including matured
interest, was $37,9O4,0OO. Facing bankruptcy,
the Democratic party took up this burden, and
on Sept 10, 1906, the total debt had been
reduced to $14,257306, and with cash in the
treasury on that day amounting to s1.O46,-
ss5.12
In the meantime, the credit of the State was
restored and its institutions increased
in number and efficiency.
Under the Republican rule of 1868 and 1863
the State tax rate was COO on 500. Under the
Democratic rule of 1905 and 1906, the rate was
35c on the 500.
