The Tennessee Debt Question.

Judge John L. T. Snoed, one of the
most prominet public men in Tennes-
see, made strong speech at La
Grange, in that State, few days ago,
in opposition to the settlement Of the
Tennessee debt as provided by the late
Legislature. He pronounces the 1909
bill an iniquity which should be
throttled in the courts, if possible
but advised a quiet submission
to it should the Supreme Court de-
clare the bill constitutional in the
test case which is now aV aiting its de-
cision. Judge Sneed is perhaps as
well known as any man in Tennessee
For several years be was Que of the
Supreme Court Judges, and was q
Democratic Elector in the late Presi.
Dental campaign. His speech may be
regarded as the opening gun against
the 1908 bill.

Tue Appeal Of the 4th inst. imputes
to Judge Sneed an "oagerness to JUS
tify the reputation Of part Of the
State debt" For the "old reliable"
this is inexcusable recklessness Look
at that speech again, and then look at
your own files for last March, and see
if you did not set your coulter deeper
than that LaGrange speech has done.

The Basques, with all their strange
peculiarities, are no longer a race;
they are still the best tennis players in
the world, and they still possess a Ian
guage-the Euscara, which, they as
sure you, is the idiom spoken in Par
lament; but their national existence
mauifests itself in no other shapes,
The entire lineage is emiTating to
South America, because it offends it
to wear red trousers in the army. In a
few years there will be no BasQues left,
but the tongue will remain; for,
though it is the most difficult
which exists, philologists have man
aged to catch it, and have put it into
a grammar. 1t is one of the glories Of
William Humboldt that he learned
this impossible dialect, and traced il
to its Iberian roots. And this glory
is all the grandeur, because accord
ing to local statements) the devil spent
seven years at Mauleon III the vaiI
endeavor to acquire the power Of con
versing with the Basques, so as TO b
able to lead them to perdition. TIL,
task was too much for him; he neve
could learn the seven articles en-
ployed in Euscara; he failed wher,
William Humboldt succeeded; tn
result is, that he is unable to tempt |
Basque, because he can not speak t,
| him and that congpnuenilv ever
Basque goes straight to heaven.

We exist. As village, city. collectively, we ferment in sundry places. and move ourself actissly, and If nothing happens the whole lump will be rleavened eventually. Could you have been in our streets last Fri day, you would have thought bedlam let loose. You might have seen the sheriff of Kent roaming up and down the streets seeking whom hs might clap on the shoulder ''by au- rhority of the state of Connecticut" you might have also seen deputy sheriff Wyant leaning right back in his sleigh. hanging onto that fractious colt of his aa he spun up the thoroughfare. Then there were three consta bies, besides lawyers, justices, abette.s, spec tatsrs. and those who didn't care. a cent, but alftte same were extremely anxious to know what was up. Altogether it was considerably lively as they rushed about with their writs, attachments, executions, injunctions, etc. etc, sticking out of every pocket. Every third man had a law book under his arm and such grin on his face that you couldn't tell where it left oil and his eara began. You never saw anything like it. Everybody who was ever guilty of any peccadillo kept pretty dark till he was sure the coast was clear. The Kent sheriff went over to arrest G. c. Hitchcock, but found him suffering from acute neuralgia and the jumping toothache, 90 the arrest was postponed till Mir. Hitchcock shall be able to bear up under his inirmities Sheriff Want went for Watson CogsweIl for assault upon the person of Frank Grant, and he was taken to Marbledale before Justice Gibbs, of Kent, and put under one hundred dollar bonds to ap- pear for trial next Friday, Thus yea per ceive, the racket still continues. Besides. one day last week. ap;.rty of sixt or more .men.w ith rake and shovel went to the Cogswell and Grant battle ground. and raked over the snow and debris. and at last were rewarded for their diligence by finding such knife as Grant swore, at the recent trial he lost during the ahray. It was single bladed. common pock. etiknife. and considerably risted by exposure, whereas, as will be remembered, the knife ths Stats produced in court was double -bladed ens. Our city may not be lighted by gas, has no water works, sewerage system, city hall, fre.alarm or prison, but she can manufacture law suits faster than Danbury can runaways any day. and don't you forget it.

There were recitations by Miss Julia Averill and Miss Carrie Bolles i; instrumental music by Mrs W. Graniss; duets and quartetts of vocal music, and cha. rads in three acts which was very amusing.
