because he has not succeeded in mak
ing a favorable impression on thp
world; nor should a young man of 21
become unduly elated or vain becaiioo
he lias succeeded in winning some ad
miration. The. battle of life has not
begun for most men at 21. With the
great majority both victory and de
feat are a long way off.. A poor start
does not by any means mean a bad
ending, nor does a good start alwa3
lead to a triumphant finish.
The proposition presented by tbc
suicide of j-oung Stevenson and tbe
elevation to a justiceship of young
Osborn amounts only to this: That
a boy, as a rule, does not and cannot
Imow whether he is a success or a
failure at 21, and he is simply im
pudently presumptuous when ne
passes judgment upon the ways of the
world or the wisdom of his Creator.

A Timely Warning to Democrats,
We publish today, under the caption
"Will Tennessee Democracy Surren
der Its Principle and Repudiate Past
Platforms?" a forcible presentation of
the political situation, and one whl'h
clearly points out the dangers that
now threaten the party. Every demo
crat in the land should read and pon
der over the pertinent facts and the
logic of events as indicated in tWa
warning.
It would be well for the party in
Tennessee especially to heed this
warning.
As is shown, those who disrupted
the party and aided in defeating it in
189G and 1900, now are seeking to taivc
lull control, reverse the whole party
creed and nominate the chief deserter
in Chose two notable campaigns.
i ho writer of the communication
Urfes the high ground that the party
declarations, to which Mr. Cleveland
aad his followers re.fused to subscribe,
have reflected the sentiments and
hopes of the party throughout the
long years of its existence since 1840,
when the first national democratic
cilatform was adopted.
It is shown that all along the event
ful career of the democratic party
smce the year of its birth to this gojd
hour, Hie paity of the constitution has
been for bimetallism and against the
rule of the "concentrated money pow
er." it is pointed out that Cleveland aad
his crowd are trying to recapture the
democratic parly, adopt a Cleveland
Matform and nominate Cleveland for
tne presidency.
In view of the designs of the minor
i'y element, that element that has
been oi t of sympathy and out of vot
ing with the democratic party during
he past eight years, it is now up to
the democratic party to meet the ex
igencies of the hour by forcing a dis
tinct and thorough understanding a
to what may be expected at the hands
ef the national convention.
The persistent contention on the
part of the "reorganiezrs" for an iin
instructed delegation carries the
stamp of fraud upon the face. It has
the double purpose of procuring the
nomination of Grover Cleveland and
the repudiation oj the Kansas City
Platform. The movement is one of
stealth and deception. While concil
iatory in its offering, the design 13
cicarly evident to force stultification
aad humiliation upon those steadfpet
ud faithful democrats who have stood
by the party through a long period of
attraction and vilification.
The Cleveland organs, with one ac
cord, have all along urged a compromise-
policy, and at the same time have
held Cleveland up as the great and
only Moses to lead the party out ot
he wilderness. While advocating a
harmonious coming together of the
discordant elements on a middle
ground with a compromise candidate,
tiiey have industriously and persist
??tly searched the face of the earth
jw those who would consent to say,
tiL?im for cloveland." Falsely pre
wmaing to favor a compromise, they
have designedly sought to bring about
the nomination of the man who had
more part in the undoing of the pai :y
in 1896 and 1900 than any other one
man.
Self-respecting democrats, who have
no apologies to offer for marching un
der the party's banner when Bryan
was in the lead, the democrats who
still believe the declarations of the
party were right and that the cause
espoused was a righteous one, will re
sent the insolence of this arrogant mi
nority that is striving to turn the
party over to Cleveland and Wall
street.
Forewarned Is forearmed. Know
ing the deserters are seeking to con
trol the state convention for the pur
poses nerein enumerated, every dele
gate chosen by the mass conventions
should be of the genuine type, to the
end that the 'lelegates to St. Louis
may be democrats, and not deserterb;
that they may be of. that class of demo
crats who have faith in the traditional
principles of the party and have the
courage to maintain them, and hot
of that class that are in the service
of the party of pelf and plunder.
Select democrats to perform the
party service, and whatever com
promises are deemed expedient and
admissable will be made by them, and
not by a crew of party wreckers.
Senator Carmack, who Is one of the
nation's strong men and who is demo
cratic in every fiber, every impulse and
every Inspiration, strikes a blow at
the Cleveland movement. With char
acteristic force and candor, he says:
"The class of democrats who may
be distinctively described as Cleve
land democrats seem to be dominated
by the one id6a of rubbing it into
the democrats who have loyally stood
by the party "vvMIe Mr. Cleveland him
self was supporting the republican
ticket."
Senator Carmack then hands the
Cleveland interviewers the following
hot one:
"A little coterie of Cleveland boom
ers say to us in effect, 'We insist on
putting the brand of infamy upon ev
ery man who supported the democratic
ticket as the only condition of peace.
We must have Cleveland himself, or
else we must have some man who
voted for McKinley or for Palmer
and Buckner.' Such anarchy, of
course, will be destructive of all har
mony and ruinous to the democratic
party. So far as the argument for
Cleveland's nomination is concerned,
it amounts to nothing more than that
with him as the nominee, Wall street
and the trusts will put up a larger
campafgn fund than they would for
any other candidate, democrat or re
publican." Nashville Daily News.
The Way of the World.
There was a man once on a time,
Invested all his health,
With madly avaricious aim
To win the goal or weauu;
And wien the same he had attained,
With all his might and mam,
He vainly lavished all his wealth
To get his health again.

It is humorouslj' said in Colon that
tiioro it takes the people all the rest
of the year after the rainy season to
get dry.
In the dry reason the heat is in
tense, the morcury ranging from 80 to
90 degrees day and night. There is
little difference in the temperaturo
after dark, but it is possible to adapt
oneself to the conditions of the place
and there is a certain fascination
about it that, in the case of some
people, seems to make up for the heat.
Chicago Chronicle.
A Scientific Diagnosis.
"What is your diagnosis?" asks tho
older physician of his young confrcie,
who is earnest, but inexperienced, and
who has been called in consultation.
"Well," says tho younger medico,
"thcro doesn't seem to bo much the
matter. The pntient lids a slight fever
and some little tightness of the chest
I should say thcro was nothing mora
than a cold bothoring him."
'My boy," said the oldor man, kind
ly, "you havo gone about it wrong.
Note these symptoms: A white mar
ble stairway in tho entrance hall, gold
furniture in the parlor, cut glass and
silver galoro in tho dining room, two
automobiles in the side yard, a solid
mahogany "
"But what has that to do with tho
sickness of Mr. GumpurseY"
"It hns lots to do with it The man
has congestion of tho bank-account,
and the proper move for us to make Is
to relieve that as much as possible."
