IT requires but moments refec-
ton for the cit zen, with ord nary
intelligence, to satisfy himself that
the proposition submitted by the
oonoholders for the settlement of
Iennessee,s State debt on tho boo;o
of 100 cents on the dollar, and .
per cent. interest, is most fayoro
bic one, and one which will redonna
to the honor and credit of all con-
cerned in bringing about the de-
sired result. In amount, this prop
osition IS the same as a SOC
settlement, but the moral effect OF
the 1908 will be infinitely more ad-
Vantageous and desirable. If the
question is settled in accordance
with this proposition of he bond
holders. the obnoxious taint of re-
pudiation will be everlastinplv and
efectually removed from rennessee's
fair name, and she will then be class
ed on an equal footing with her
honored sister states, who have NOT
even scaled their public indebted
ness, 1t Is unnecessary to expatate
on the beneficial results that would
accrue. A man with half an eve
can discern that such a consumation
would give all her energies and in
dustries a bound on the road to
prosperity, which no other one thing
would accomplish II e.

The last of the vacancies ia the
United States Senate was filled yes =
terday by the election of Hon. VIM.
P. Frye to succeed Senator Blaine in
Name. This places the organiza-
ton of the Senate by the Republi-
cans beyond the reasonable posi-
bility of a doubt. The Democrats
have 38 members, and the Republi-
cans 3S, counting Senator Malone,
of Virginia, who has plainly indica
ted his course, despite the revilings
and excoriations of the bourbon
ring-masters, who vainly attempted
to deprive him of his indepen-
dence. This turns the scale
in favor of the Republicans by the
deciding vote of Vice President Ar
thur. The Democrats of the Senate
virtually abandoned their cause
Mond4y by the naming of the MI
nority committeeman, but they still
presented show of opposition to
the Republican tactics until yester-
day, when, under the leadership of
Senator Beck, they threw up their
hand entirely, and quietly submitted
to the inevitable. It is now mere
matter of time, till the new Senators
can reach Washington, when the
Republican organization will be eff
fected. -....

The friends of State credit and
State honor in the legislature will be
entirely safe, as we conceive it, in
voting against all amendments VIII ch
may be proposed by the enemies of
the proposition submitted by the
bondholders, looking to a settlement
of the debt. All such amendments
will be proposed solely with a
view to hamper up and de-
feat the measure. The propo~
sition has been the SUBJ
ject of mature deliberation and
reflection by able minds, and the
terms are by them regarded as hon
orable to the State and satisfac ory
to her creditors. Let our represen-
tatiVes stand up for the proposition
as submitted and secure a fair and
equitable settlement of the debt,
and they vii reflect the W shes of
the constituency which sent them
to Nashville.
