SHALL WE HAVE WAR

We can not approach the discussion of a
war with England in a passionate spirit.
We have seen enough of the misery and
burdens imposed by war to consider it as
one of the last means to be resorted to for
the defense of national honor or the per-
petuation of our government. We can not
understand how men of reason or judy
ment cry at once for war when there is no
need for war. But even with these feel
ings, we can not shut our eyes to the fact
that the dispute between England and
America over the Alabama claims has now
reached a point where it becomes the
bOunden duty of our rulers to temper with
prudence, firmness and with the policy of
upholding our rights and honor, a calm,
impassioned judgment, We believe we
have in Secretary Fish and Minister
Schenck and above them both in the
President, cool and conservative minds
who will treat the matter with all the eau
ton consistent with the national honor,
The warmth of the discussi on in the
English press and in the Parliament, given
in our dispatches this morning, grows out
of the claim now alleged by England, that
the Washington Treaty was not intended
to provide for the settlement of the indi-
rect losses caused by the Alabama depreda-
tons. But that this is a great mistake is
evident from the statement made by our
Commissioners at the opening of the Con-
ference in Washington. It was then and
there positively understood that as the
Joint Commission could not agree upon
the basis of the liabilities of the British
Government for these damages, tribunal
should be organized to determine that liza
bility. The Geneva Arbitrators constitute
that tribunal. The very question they
are to decide is what claims presented by
America are just and what are not. In
pursuance of this understanding the
american case has been prepared, claiming
compensation for indirect damages. The
preteXt now put forward by the London
papers that our claims are unheard of, is
therefore, buncombe and foolish in the
extreme.
The probability is that this hullabaloo is
now raised for political purposes and
against the Gladstone ministry. The dis
cussion was pressed promptly at the OPEN
ing of Parliament to force vote of q want
of confidence in the ministry. That pub
lie feeling there must be intense is shown
in the speech of Lord Granville, the Eng
fish Minister of Foreign Affairs. Wepre-
sent elsewhere full particulars of the con-
troversy and invite earnest attention
thereto

A HOBBY WE WILL HELP RIDE.

We invite attention to the communica-
ton in another column about our East
Tennessee University. The writer's sug-
gestions are in'good temper, we know, and
we can one and all profit by them. We
think our people have not shown that in
terest in the success of the institution that
they should, and we suspect our correspon-
dents suggestion that some of the Trus-
tees have not, is not any too pointed or
premature. But, without doubt, one point
we know to be right, and that is, that, as a
community, we ought to do more for the
University than has been done. Viewing
the subject purely from a point of duty,
there can be no doubt but that the assertion
just made is correct. The influence to go
out from a University, such as we might
make this one, would reach every corner
of our mountain section and be felt in our
social, religious and business relations,
greatly and speedily to our advantage.
But to those who cannot be influenced in
this way, we say, looking at the question
from a more selfish view-from financial
point of view-it is manifestly to the in
terest of Knoxville to build up this Col
lege. Suppose we secure for it an attend
ance from abroad of two hundred students.
Their expenditures, each, for board and
room, lights and fuel, clothing, books, &C.,
will average at least four hundred dollars
per year. Here.we have in this item alone
an expenditure for the benefit of the city
of eighty thousand dollars per year. Add
expenditures of faculty, &C., and upon the
basis given, the city is benefited annually
to the extent of one hundred thousand dol
lars. Enlarge the number of students to
three or four hundred, as might easily be

THE ENGLISH COMMONS.

The Right Honorable John Evelyn Den
nison who has just resigned, was born in
1900. He was elected Speaker of the House
of Commons in 1857. There have been but
four speakers of this body since the death
Of George III. Mr.. G. Manners Sutton
was chosen speaker in 1917. Mr.. James
Abercromby succeeded Sutton in 1885, and
held until 1889. G.. Shaw Lefevre was
elected in 1889 and was followed by Den
nison in 1857. Among the candidates for
the high position now, Mr.. Brand, Right
Hon. Pleydell-Bouverie, Mr.. Denman,
Mr.. Bruce, Mr.. Whitbread and Mr.. Wal
pole are mentioned in connection with the

done, and ..our. benefits double or quadruple.
If we consider the subject then from this
selfish and. marrow view, we have every
thing to gain by aiding in the upbuilding
of the University.
But we do not base our advice upon such
grounds. We feel the great need in this
State of center of educational influence
that will give character and encourage
ment to the good work everywhere. This
center ought to be the East Tennessee Uni
versity, now resting upon secure finan-
cial basis. Here is hobby for some one to
ride as ourGcorrespondent suggests, and
we will only say that approaching its i'm
portance we will aid in the work under the
direction of the able President and Facul.

of the country. We expect to defend
the present National Administration so
long as it conducts public affairs in the
satisfactory manner which has character
lied its past history. We do this because
we believe the principles of the Republic

shall pursue this course aud advocate what
we believe to he right, with whatever abil-
ity we poss ess and with all the earnestness
of our nature, we will accord to others
the right to think and act for
themselves, and in our criticisms of those
with whom we may differ we will endeav-
or to exercise that courtesy toward others
which we expect in return from those who
may differ with US.
But while we are earnestly engaged in
these partisan discussions, our chief aim

An Advocate Of Free schools.

Regarding FREE SCHOOLS as indispensa-
bic to the public welfare, we will continue
to advocate the establishment in our State,
of a perfect Free School system.
In addition to all this, the PRESIDENTIAL
CONTEST comes off next year in which we
expect to take an active part. We will
keep our readers fully posted on every
topic of interest connected with the cam
vass. Excitement will run high, and
everybody will want the latest news. This
we will faithfully furnish to our pa
irons.
In consideration of all this, we call upon
our friends everywhere to rally to our sup
port. Let CLUBS be made up at every post
office. Let each one of our friends inter-
est himself in the matter and soon our cir
culatiOn will be increased ten-fold, and our
facilities for doing good correspondingly
increased. Let the work begin at once so
that subscribers may begin with the NEW
YEAR. Send on your clubs, and if you
can't make clubs, send ON your single sub
scribers. Our terms are exceedingly low,
consequently we are compelled to require
payment of subscription INVARIABLY IN
ADVANCE. We cannot depart from this
rule.

We want to see our population doubled,

humble efforts already made in that direc-
ton are being appreciated. There are
more numbers of the CHRONICLE being
sent out of the State to those looking for

never relax our efforts to induce immigra-

from the Ohio Valley to the South Atlantic
coast" said Old Probabilities in his telegram
on Thursday night. The luckless people who
had to be out yesterday, morning and evening,
will all agree that this prediction was not veri-
fed. The day was wet and disagreeable, and
in the evening it stormed and rained and blew

venerable meteorological will do better to-day,
although he does not promise what might be
taken as fine weather for picnic.
