SENATOR cLApP's SPEECH.

Colonel Clapp made his speech in
the senate yesterday on the State debt.
From the telegraphic accounts it can
notbe known whether Ire defined what
rate Of settlement he would favor He
seems to have made five hours
speech, which was but o repetition of
the complaints made in this State
several years ago by the bondholders
and their agents on this subject 1t
was simply moral lecture to the peo-
pie Of Tennessee, upbraiding them for
not paying debts that he calls honest,
and an attempted defence along the
whole line and in every particular Of
the bondholders' position, and their
demands against the people of
Tennessee. This speech meets
with no favor in this community, and
our people are sorely disappointed in a
public servant whose ability and ex-
perience would naturally have led
them to expect sympathy and repre-
sentation from him. Colonel Clapp
has not been in public life in Tennes-
see, and has doubtless given such lit
tie attention to the political discussions
in the State for the last ten
years that his present very awk-
ward and unsatisfactory position
may be ascribed to this cause. The
battle in favor of what is known as
State credit in Tennessee was ably
fought in 1901, ~ '73, and in 1874,
and it was lost The champions of
that side have long since quit the
field and given up the contest. 1t is
surprising that a man of sense should
now go on this worn out ground. Col.
Clapp, in doing it, is utterly behind
the demands of the times, and does not
appreciate the situation in this State.
Craftsmanship should address itself
solely to the question of accomplish
ing the best settlement for the people
that can be effected in view of all the
equities Of the case. Senator Clapp
thinks that every dollar of the debt Of
Tennessee is valid and legal. What
were his views about the Mississippi
debt? We ask the senator distinctly
whether or not he favored reputation
in that State? Such is the opinion in
this community. Ifhe lives in glass
house he ought not to be throwing
stones at his people.

THERE is big gun in India--or a
gun which long ago was thought to be
big-and which on memorable occa-
sion some years back was fired with a
heavy charge. Itis generally supposed
in the neighborhood that the ball is
flying yet. The new Krupp gun, which
is to be tried next Saturday at Meppen,
in Westphalia, may not rival this, but
it will certainly surpass all other guns.
This gun is 32 feet long and weighs
Y tons. Its charges is 385 pounds of
prismatic powder, and it is to throw a
chilled iron she'll of 1860 pounds. 1t
is asserted that this monstrous can
non, if set at an angle of 43 degrees to
the horizon will throw ball fifteen
miles. The material is steel, and the
piece is heavier by sixteen tons than
the heaviest Krupp gun heretofore
made.

A WASHINGTON correspondent tells
the following: Colonel Aston, who
was killed at Atlanta, was business
partner of Senator Gordon, and spent
much time in Washington. When he
supposed that Tilden was elected
President, he and his friends got up
a petition for his appointment as a
United States marshal 1t was ad-
dressed to Samuel j. Tilden, Presi-
dent of the United States When
Hayes was inaugurated Aston brought
the petition to Washington, and pre-
sented it to him without altering the
name Of the person to whom it was ad.
dressed.

THE last number of the Congression-
al Record was not completed until last
Thursday, because during the last
twenty-four hours of the session mem
bers of congress obtained leave to
print many speeches that had never
been delivered. Members are allowed
to have a certain number of their
speeches printed in pamphlet form,
and for all additional copies are re-
quired to pay cost price. On the last
day orders were given for 100000 cop
les of speeches, Mr.. Hewitt, of New
York, ordering 1900 copies Of his
speech on the federal election laws,
and Mr.. Garfield 10000 copies of his
speech on the sugar tariff. There
were orders for about 100000 copies
of the speeches made in the senate
debate upon the exclusion of Jefferson
Davis from the Mexican war pension

Texas alone will gain not less than
ten members of congress by the next
census. AS to the popular majority
in the Union, the Republicans were
never anything but a minority party.
Lincoln was elected by minority in
1860, In 1864 ten States did not vote
at all. In 1868 the South was dis
franchised. In 1872 the mistake Of
nominating Greeley kept over a mil

A Disease that wrecks the system.
Every function is deranged, every nerve

which, If unchecked, eventually wrecks the

SelE-made Men.
Terre Haute Mail.)

We notice an item going around the
press calling for convention of "self-
made men," This, we presume, means
convention of men who, once poor have
grown rich. There is deal of vanity
not to call 1t arrogance-in the term
of self-made men. That vanity, however,
is pardonable, when the words "self.made
men" signify something beyond the mere
acquisition of money. But applied solely
to the rolling up of dollars, we know no
ambition more lowly than that which
boasts of such requirements as evidence
of uncommon merit. There may be
merit in money making; there is no merit
necessarily, in it. The boast of the self
made man should be that he had done
something to benefit his time and his gen
Grafton. If it be that his energies have
been engrossed in mere acquisition Of
riches, his boast should be that he made
good use of those riches. If his acqus-
tions are the product of brain labor, he
may well congratulate himself for his
contributions to science and to art. But
the boast Of mere riches is the lowest am
bition of our nature. And we protest
against the abuse of the term "self,made
men as appropriated by those who have
money, and nothing else, to show for
their life-labor. The man who through
his own researches has caused two blades
of grass to grow where but one grew be-
fore, though he may be pauper in purse
should not be excluded from the ranks of
selfmade men. He who invented an ap-
pie parer, he who taught the housewife
to cover her kettle if she would econo-
mize time and fuel in making it il,may
be poor in this worlds goods and yet as
exalted above the mere rich man as heav-
en- above earth. This dollar land cent
measure Of merit is the DEVILS tape.ine,
and the same measure Satan attempted
to apply to the son of man on the exceed
ingly high mountain, when the devil as
sayed to make the first great purchase of
human conscience and service.
