The motto of the mail order
house is every man for himself
aud the devil take the hindermost
and you bet the devil will. That
spirit never fails to work; and the
weak man, the unprotected man,
the man alone-the man ON the
farm, nj the end of the fact, when
his farm market is gone, when his
town is gone, when the spirit of
selhshness and greed has left the
country cold and hard and mean
aud noighborless-the farmer wllI

We note with regret that the
Nashville Democrat fills its col
umns daily with ridicule, criticism
and abuse of Mr.. Bryan. Coming
from the leading democratic organ
of the state this is very much to
be regretted. We have for some
time noticed and been PANIED by
these structures but have refralned
from adyerting to them for the
reason that we did not wish to TO-
ment any discomfort among the
people with this great democratic
journal. But the course of the
Democrat IN this particular has
become very distasteful to its best
friends and we only refer to it
now In the hope. that the manage
mert will let up on these attacks
and voice the universal sentiments
of tho great body of the people in
what seems now to be a hopeful
struggle for democratic supremacy
Mr.. Bryan was the dominant tig
ure, the controlling spirit of the
Baltimore convention. He dicta-
ted the nomination, he wrote the
platform, on which all democrats
must stand. The whole country
accords him this. And the masses
who do tie voting believe in his
patriotism and his sincerity OF
ii purpose Mr.. Wilson owes his
nomination to HIM and will IN Che
main owe his election to him
With his help Wilson seems a sure
winner. Drive him out of the
party op force him from the hight
ING ranks and Mr.. Wilson can not
be elected. Any effort to minim
lse his influence is suicidal. The
Democrat supports the nominee
and the platform. Mr.. Bryan 1,

The graft and corruption Incl
dent to the lawless gambling in
terests, in New York City, has
eliminated in a bold and brutal
murder, of a man who turned in
former of the "police system
which allowed lawlessness to
flourish there undisturbed. The
same condition exists there as to
gambling as we see in Nashville
as to selling, and we sup
pose the Nashville Democrat and
its regular supporters will de-
mand the repeal of all laws
against gambling and advocate
the legalizing the killing of him
who turns informer. This would
be consistent with their attitude

There is Il general regret among

national committeeman for this
state over the Hon. Nat Baxter of
Nashville. When the party was

castle stabbed it to the heart. That
a supporter of Mr.. Hooper should
have been promoted TO this impor-
tant party position over a true and
tried party man, we repeat is a
source of regret 10 democrats all
over the state. The cause is SAID
to rest in the fact that Mr. Baxter
in the convention voted with the
reactional1es for Mr.. Parker and
against Mr.. Bryan. The progress
ives were so absolutely in control
of the convention that no reaction
AIRY tendencies were tolerated. BE
this as it may it was not sufficient
cause to turn down so loyal dem

Mountcastle also opposed Bryan
and voted for Parker, we are
forced to the conclusion that il
was rather Col. BaXter's sixteer
year old fight on Bryan as the
nominee of his party that defeat
ed him. We would call the at

Let us keep the wheat and roses,
Casting out the thOrns and chat.
Let us live that each tomorrow
Find us farther than today,
With n patient hand removing
All the briers from our way.
Chorus:
Then scatter seeds of kindness,
For the harvest time draws
nigh,
Oh, scatter seeds of kindness,
For our reaping by and by.
If we knew the baby fingers
Pressed against the window pane
Would be cold and stiff tomorrow,
Never trouble us again,
Would the bright eyes of our dar-
ling
Catch the frOwn upon our brow
Would the print of rosy fingers
Vex us then as they do now?
All, those little ice cold fingers,
How they point our memories
back,
To the hasty words and actions,
Scattered all along our track!
How those little hands remind us,
As in snowy grace they lie,
Not to scatter thOrns but roses,
For our reaping by and by.

against Isadore .Greenbaum for poi
sonlng a dog belonging to Mrs Anna

and motion to dismiss on account
that the names of the witnesses be-
fore the grand jury were not named

the demurrer, Judge Kelly held that
dog was not a domestic animal in
the light Of the law and the deci-
sons fitted in the demurrer. The
case was sent back to the grand

will in all probability come before
