Its Sunday eight and late the hour And what can make them wait? 'Say what desire can have such power To make them stay so late? You haven't heard? Jost listen then tell you what I In fact I'm sure that all these molts Are waiting for a drink The chrysanthemum show and the flower mission have been recorded in the archives of good thing and now across the horizon another vision dawns It is the vision of a thousand faces tiny faces that shine In long rows from a vague whiteness like Danteli dream of judgment Brown eyes and blue eyes black eyes and gray tresses of gold and tresses reflecting the rsven's wing gleaming and smiling and fluttering above dainty dresses of tulle and other materials forever unknown to me Miniature ladies and babies cbils every one of them And when they have been taken to the grand reception in Baxter Court early in December an Adamless Eden will have been created for men to wonder at And spend money on And feel good for having helped a noble charIty Credit for allot which belongs lathe women of Nashville the moat beautiful and self-sacrificing creations in the universe You can't fatten a man like log cap a beef because a man thinks and yet you will find that the deepest thinkers are fregently the plumpest and beat groomed of men The difference Ilse in the method The deep thinkers have chosen a particular line for their life work and pursue it methodically The ordinary run of men catch an idea as they step from the household of their youth into the opea field of their manhood and that idea is usually that pleasure is the aim of life and work an incident Pleasure worries the soul and devastaum the pocketbook and after awhile Its followers find out that happiness should be the aim of existence and that more happiness comes from work thah pleasure and more money Nothing on earth makes a man do more genuine thinking than to be dead broke and thats why so many men are thin and are always broke The red-cheeked deep thinkers found this out In time and set about putting a foundation under their feet before drawing the beauties of living about them and while their brothers struggle and ries a little and fall a good deal they sit by calmly plot and grow fat on the follies of their purposeless follow-citizens whose strength Is sapped in the eternal chaselor bare bread This la right The fellow-citizens might have been deep thinkers if they had listened to what their elders told them and since they to waste the vicr of their lives on pleasure it is perfectly fair that they should be debarred from happiness in the days of the sere and yellow leaf Otherwise the world woult be worse than It is thee tabula docet that young men should think first and fatten afterwards since respectable fatness shows an ability to appreciate happiness And now we revel in the twilight of the year the closing In time when the lamps are lighted and the drear winds rush down the streets and whistle through the bare trees and around the gables Months ago our little world went out In the bridal dress of the early spring radiant under the kiss of heaven's breath Then she was wedded to the glad days of summer when the zephyrs came down from the mountain and told her secrets brighter than she had ever dreamed and the sun shone down upon her and bleeeed her with a crown of gold All the flowers were In bloom and the birds sang and nature broke into rapturous applause And now the flowers have falleethe birds have crouched in hidden places and nature has drawn her shroud around her and my little world has come back tfred and sleepy dressed In tho same dainty dross but tattered and shorn of all its bkessoma In the evening you gather about your hearth and hear the wind blow and watch the firelight playing among the curtains and through the deep fringes on the floor you think of the one away the one who once was glad at that hearth but now in the cold where brightness is not a wild longing vague and depressing comes over you and you go and bang the latch outside the door a sweet relief comes over you a gladness lights your eye and you fall asleep in the hanclikpf God Thursday Is Thanksgiving Let him who puts the latch outside and him who lifts it and enters in render praise and love and honor and glory and thanksgiving to the Ruler of the universe for the privilege of giving and receiving of loving and being loved of helping and giving help: for every human soul has abundant reason to sing louder than the roar of cataracts "Gloria Gloria in Exceleis Deo" An Unnatural We defy eny man with a Belem of humor and eepecially with a sense of the ludicrous to contemplate the confederation of heterogeneous elements attempted by the Alliance leaders without bursting more or less buttons off his clothe' What for Instance could be more preposterous thau a combination between land-owners and men who indorse henry George's scheme of making land bear all the burdens of taxation? The organization known as the Knights of Labor has solemnly declared in favor of the George theory of confiscating the private ownership of land and yet the esteemed politicians of the Farmers Alliance In their med hunt for 4votee have joined political forces with the Knights and propoee to unite with them in shaping the policy of the Government and the legislation of the country That men whose Interests are bound up In the private ownership of land should have anything in common with men who hold that land-owning is a crime appears utterly impossible to men of average intelligeitce who look no further than the formal utterances and declarations of these respective bands of patriots and reformers Yet it Is even so that the resolution adopted by the Knights In session at Atlanta was hardly cold before Powderly and a committee of Knights were being toasted cheered end taken Into feliewship at St Louis and now the two organizations whooping it up together thoroughly confederated united and harmonious The Knighte also demand that eight hours shall be considered a days work of course they do not and cannot CODSill tently make any exception In favor of the firmer in this respect The Knights represent hired labor the Alliance represents the employer of Ishor The farmer Is a capitalise-he may be a very small capitellet it is true but in the sense that he is an employer of labor in the work of produethee that is what he ts Bow are thee two elements to pull together? Is the farmer willing that his hired hands shall work only eight howl per day? Is he willing to unite with the Knights of Labor In the effort to raise the rate of wages end diminish the hours of wok? Is he willing to have all the burden of taxation piled upon the land? Is he willing to have the system of strikes and boycotts applied to himself by the laborers on his farm? Of course he is not Of counts there Is no genuine sympathy tior unity of purpose between the farmers and the Knights of Labor The 'thing in common between the two organizations is the common sire of the leaders to get office and partition tbe treasury among themselves The forces which these respective leaders repreaent are merely two roving bands of office bunters who have agreed to go in together and divide the swag hien who are eternally howling about the overtaxed farmer and men who ere clamoring to put more taxes on him would never have dreamed of a coalition for potiticel purposes if either hid been governed by honest convictions on any question Think of Simpson the free-trader and Powderly the protection-let Peffer who wants no tax on land and Powderly who wants ail taxes on and whooping for the same candidates and the same party! These patriots are merely out for the stuff It is calculated that the men who favor all taxes on land a protective tariff an eight hour day labor strikes boycotts and high wages can control so many vote the men who want less taxes on land free trade a fourteen hour day reliable labor and low swages will contribute so many add them together end they may be enough to get some offices for some That is all there is In IL The action of the Alliance convention at Indianapolis in solemnly denouncing the Clothing Es-thistles of Rochester for locking out their employee and chargihg that it had procured the conviction of a knight on a false charge by a corrupt Jury was a mo4 transparent piece of demagogy Not a man in the convention knew or cared anything of the facts of the cue or whether the charges which they then and there beard for the first time from the mouth of a representative of the knights were true or fake They proceeded to declare a boycott against this clothing establishment on an ex parte stetetnent five minutes after they bid beard It for the first time in their lives It was all a most transparent vote-catching scheme The plain truth is the farmers of Tenoessee do not care five cents a bunch for the Knights of Labor or their quarrels and the Knights of Labor do not care two cents thousand for the farmers of Ten 'tteseee Their political ideas are as wide apart as the poles lint the men who are bossing the two concerns have one common and demagogue polities Like misery sometimes make straege bed Baltimore Sun Nov 16: The lion Irby United States Senator-elect from South Carolina who wm chosen over Gen Wade Hampton by the votes of the Farmer' Alliance members has been interviewed on the political eituation He expressed tite belief that Mr Cleveland would be the Democratic TIOnlitlf43 for President and despite his views on the Elver question be believed the Alliance men of South Carolina will fell in and support him to a man Philadelphia Time Nov16: A contatt between Cleveland and Harrison would be hkely to give fonr of the New England States to Cleveland and from present indications it would make both Illinois and

to-night There has been a dark cloak of uncertainty hovering for some time over the ultimate and definite political complexion of the New York General Assembly Republicans have of course laid violent claims to both branches Indeed Editor Elliott Shepard of the New York Mail and Express has threatened the country with a war of the b-loodiest character if the Democrats so much attempt to prove that there Is an anti-Republican majority In spite however of Elliott the Democrats have gone' along successfully doing that very thing They have progressed so far in fact to establish their claim to the Lower House and with the kind and very timely assistance of Providence are about secure In their tenure by a margin of the upper branch The Senate according to matured esti mates wu Republican by one majority end the followers of Platt felt safe In their ability to prevent any legislation favoreble to the dominant party in New York politics Just at the time however when assurance began to assert itself with fullest force Republican State Senator was so unfortunate as to die Such event makes the upper branch a tie and gives to the Democratic Lieutenant Governor the deciding vote upon all political questions The death also gives to the Democracy of New York an opportunity to elect as the late Senator Deane's uccesnor one ot the proper way of thinking and voting With the Democrats in power in both branches there will be an immediate redistricting of the great State of New York upon a just and equitable basis which will make its Legislature surely Democratic in the future and

thousand Gabriel will not mar the doom of his disgraceful oblivion The two Sams Jones and Small down in Atlanta are contributing their wit and scurrility to the alleged cause of prohibition Bore by the way is what Sato Jones thinks of a certain prominent American citizen: "Let me say as a Democrat but as a greatest President this country his bad in a hundred years was Grover Cleveland because he bad the backbone and the grit to do what he thought was right all the time lies got I backbone as big as Ilarrisou's bat" iMM Local Forecast The weatber in Middle Tennesaee will be threatening with

Telegraph Nov 14: It Cleveland isn't the next President of this United States it will not be the fault of Alliance President Polk who faithfully promises to take the stump against him in the event of

10t4t C1111114i If not alreaity one and those whom he opposes' invitriably march to victory Over in the Second District they have decided upon a suceassor to the late Leonides Houk It Is John Houk son of his father and heir to the latter's petit-cal craft and prejudices The result Is no surprise however much good citizens hoped for a better men than young Hook The District Knot County excepted was prima facie liotik4 from the very first moment that it beceme known that he wanted it It was his because of Its linorauce its bitter prejudices its mercenary greed for pensions Its hatred of Democracy as the party to whieh the twitter clesses of Southern people intrusted their destiny and it was his because of its post-bellum history and Its rotten traditious Gen Williams made a corn pieta canvass of the district and dared the young Houk to meet him in a discussion of political issues The youngster conscious however of his own infirmities political and otherwise declined and bunted out the sinuous and silent hog paths as an exchange puts it to hide away his weakness and incePacity from the sight of men He will go on to Weshington and may the Republicaue of the Second District reap the whirlwind of their mid choice But speaking of young Rook calls up In nand nb less an individual than my old friend and legislator Hon Christopher Catawampus- Collins the red-heided orator agitator legislator expander from the Republican wilds of Car ter County Chris went Over to Knox County to make some speeches for liotik and In one of his sublimest perorations raised his hand to heaven and declared that it was his most earnest desire to see the time when every dollar in this fair and happy land could steno flat-footed and say "I know that my redeemer liveth" Collins' bead crest eye brows 'Mekong nose and language are about as red as the bloody shirt which be never neglects to wave but Its a cold day when any ordinary everyday specimen of a mangy Republican orator can discount any of his efforts on the political stump Anent the expresined determinitloa of Carter lierrison the newly inducted ed itor of the Chicago Times to substitute the singniar pronoun for tiee usual plural "we" In his editorial columns the Courier-Journal makes the following observations: "The experiment has been made before and It has invariably failed The anonymity of the editorial 'we' in solves a mystorious power which Is always reepectecl if not feared Throw ofr the disguise and mystery which that potent monosyllable affords and editorial utterance is robbed of ball ha importance represenui merely an individual opinion the editorial 'we' repreitents not only the writer and newspaper but the newspapers constituency whatever that may be This reminds us of a speech made at oue time by the late Roscoe Conkling It seems that In one of his communications to the Senate President Hayes dilated upon what "we" Intended to do Conkling properly despised Hayes and he saw here an Opportunity for a sarcasm ol arn sure" he aid "that tbe S'enate shares my desire to get an understanding of what the President means when be uses the pronoun 'we' There Ire we know three classes of people who by common consent are privileged to use the pronoun in communication with the public they are sovereigns journalists and people with tapeworms Let us ascertain if we can to which of these classes Preeldent Hayes belongs" There are two figures In the political developments of the times which seem to be growing longer and broader and bigger In size In the affections of the people One of
