of polities a contest between
i
two such men vnnnot fail to
be very interesting, repn
sen tiny; : us they do the ex
tremes of the Republican
arty. Mr. Noble was select
ed personally by President
llnn i.son for his present po
sition, and has always he-
longed to the conservative
or Milk stocking w iny: of the
Republican party; while Mr.
Tracy cvime into the cabinet
as the personal representa
tive ol the craftiest politi
cian in the country Kx Sen
ator T. . Piatt, of New
York, and belongs to the
working wing of tne Republi
can party. President Harri
son's personal iii'lir.ntions
are all undoubtedly with Nr.
Noble, but owing to his sus
ceptibility to the influence
of the powerful members of
Jiispnty it is doubtful which
Secretary he w ill in the end
sustain. The trouble be
tween the two gentlemen
comes frni the Pension office
which continues to be a, veri
table thorn in the side of the
administration. (Secretary
Noble lias askod for the res
ignation of five of the promi
nent officials whose pensions
were re-rated duringTanners
regime.' One of them hap
pens to be a special friend of
Secretary Tracy's, and that
gentleman advises him to re
fuse to resign and promises
his help to aid him in keep
ing his position. The result
is that not only Mr. Tracy's
fiiend but the other four offi
cials vhoso resignations were!
asked, have refused to resign
and they, together v.ith all anxiously awaiting the Pres
the other re-ir.ted officials hint's decision in this mat
have formed a combination
and propose to light for theif

ker have been put on the

to the Republican Senators
that Ingalls will probably
be defeated for re-e!ecl'ioi to
to the Senate. "Too good
to be true", is the general
Democratic comment on the
last item.
The local Republicans are
very much worked up over
the rumor that 7u uce, the ne
gro ex-iSenntor, is to be ap
pointed Recorder of Deeds
for this city. If protesting
to the President will prevent
the appointment will not be
made.
Honors are now- easy be

Wanamaker, as the Presi-

slate in making the rest of
the Philadelphia Federal ap

President Harrison proposed
to pigeon-hole the report of
the Civil Service Commis
sion handed him nearly a
week ago. It recomonds the
prosecution of several office
holders for violating the law
against soliciting campaign
contributions from ollice

Last winter I was over, in
Poplar township, this coun
iy of Mitchell, and remained
over night where 1 had been
most cordially welcomed on
other occasions. It was at
the residence of three maiden
sisters named Dennett. Thev
lived n ar the mouth of Pig
eonroost Creek, which emp
ties into Toe River, a few
miles from whor the latter
plunges into Tennessee and be
comes the Nolachucky.
The previous time I visited
these venerable ladies was in
'8(5. Then there wen? four of
them. They owned a- good
farm, on which they were
born and always lived, and
which they tilled principally
until the infirmaties of age
came creeping upon them,
and then they took under
their kjudly roof a nephew by
the name f Lewis Denne.tt,
who is now married, and, I
suppose, w ill ultimately come
into possession of the Den
nett homestead. Their fath
er left them a saw and grist
mill, which the eldest one ten
ded. In '80 she complained
to me that idie had beomel

President Harrison was
bublicly burned in el'igy,last
v;ek, at .felfersonvdle, ludi
ana. Of course it might na
turally be supposed that this
was done by some bitter
"Bourbon" Democrats; but
no, strange to say, it was
d -ne by some' of the "truly
loyal" Republi'-ans ! There
aas been much dissatisfac
tion among the Republicans
of that town at several of the
President's recent appoint
tnents, but the immediate
c::use of their violent out
burst of indigimt on was his
appointment of thi post
master, w ho obtained his ap
pointment solely because he
was a personal friend of the
Pi evident.
The burning in effigy of the
Presalent of the United
.S'lates is disgraceful to all
coiiwiKil, and if it had been
done by any Southern Demo
crats thev would be bitterly
denounced by every Repub
lican oolit ician ami oarier as
(isiOVili to t, n;ltiou-
al government. Alas! poor
Harrison seems to have the
peculiarly winning .vay of
making enemies among the
mon who elected him, and
when his term expires he will
bo respected even less than
was i he oitiable Haves.

Family Pride.-
If )eople wllo are trouble-.!
with that form of egotism
which they are self flattered
into believing is "family
pride," would catch hold of
the idea that in thin Repuhlb
can country every tubsfauds
on its own bottom, and that
nobody can disgrace theai
except themselves they would
escape much miry.
The sad case of the threi.)
ladies in Washington of one1
of the oldest families in the
District, who have gone iiw
sane as the result of brood
ing in private over the shock
to their pride, illustrates thn
folly of this tendencj'. 0:;e
(jf their troubles was due to
the fact that a half brotheV
contracted a marriage some
years ago which was kept a
secret, for several months,
the wife being known during
the timeby her maiden name
Another brother, a never df
well, "accepted a position''
as marked in a billiard an
loon.
What is there in either, or
both of the occurences ft
cause a poignant feeling,
of personal disgrace in the'
mind of any relative of th;?
parties who are; not: resotH
siblefor them? An ho7lor'--able
secret marriage, with
true affectiovi as a basis, is1
much more creditable than
the open sale of themselves
for money which many poor
hut proud daughters of old
famalioH consumatc. The;
'black sheep' of a family may
disgrace himself, but there is
neither rhyme nor reason in
his sister and brothers fa
king upon theufsdves any
the shame.
The "old fnmila pride" 4
one of the most absurd and
illogical of all the survivals
and apings of aristocracy in
the republic of equal citizens.
Some of its vagaries are ainil
sing but the Washingtrn caw?
is pitiful Ex.
