Herbert Gladstone, Jnffer, Lord

his tour that there was very great
exsggeration in England in regard
to the condition of Ireland. The
alarmists, he said, took. their
standard from the worst county.
The arrests had produced q striking
and remarkable impression in the
distriets where they were made.
He blamed landlords for not CO.
operating with the COVER. rnsnt!in
taking strong measures. He did
not think more coercion was D eed-
ed, and the talk OF martial law was
absurd. Alteration Of the Jury
system would now be worse imam
useless. The "no-rent', movement
was not deep-rooted, and was only
kept up by Intimidation. He be-
!ieved the prospect was distinctly
favorable. kaA y IS

Clarksville weekly chronicle. (Clarksville, Tenn.) 1873-1890, 1881-04-02

THE. nomination of Senator Rob-
ertson by the president, as collector
of customs for the port of New
York, has raised the ire of Senator
Conkling, who is a pronounced enc
my of Robertson, and bids fair to
raise a great deal of trouble among
the advisers of the administration.
1t is understood to be an attack by
Blaine upon the influence of the
"turkey-cock" with the president,
and as the "plumed knight" has
always held his own in any contest
with his arrogant opponent, there is
little doubt that he will be victor in
the present bout. 1t is a favorable
sign for Garfield's administration
that he is beginning to show some
independence in his appointments
to office, and it will be a happy day
for him when he cuts entirely loose
from such selfish and imperiOus adj
visers 5 COnkling.

Last week, i'm the house of repre-
sentatives, thirteen low-taxers pre-
pared, had read and entered upon
the journal OF the house, a protest
against the passage of the PROPOSE
ton submitted by the bondhoIders,
in which they loosely charge, with
out shadow OF proof, that the meas
ure is the scheme of spectators.
and that some OF their fellow-mem-
bers were participants in the fraud
upon the people, and. the plant.
willing tools of lobbyists and
bribers. 1t is a sad commentary
upon the condition of our state poll
tics when men, who are placed in
respectable and honorable positions
by a people who know them and
believe in their honesty and ideli-
ty, are to have unblushing charges
of bribery and corruption, without
the least ground of proof, brought
against them by a pitiful band of
regulators and calumniators.
They have lost their opportunity to
do harm and bring disgrace upon
the state. Baffied in this they find
vent for their pent up rage by SLAM
dering the honorable men of Ten
nessee, and giving repeated utter
ance to the infamous and stereo-
typed cry of /" bargain and fraud"
The people of Tennessee and all
honorable men are worn out and
tired of such base charges and de-
mand the proof, or silence.
The reputation element has will
fully and deliberately widened the
breach, and encouraged discord and
discussions in the democratic party.
They have already placed the state
in the hands of u political enc
mics, and now when men deter
mine to act the honorable part at
any cost they cry out in their impo-
tent rage fraud, corruption, bar
gain" 1t will avail them nothing.
Their occupation is gone, and they
may just as we'll accept the inevita-
BILE. Their program of %villitication
and abuse will no longer serve
them.

TIE STATE nERr.

The vote upon the state debt did
not come off in the senate last
Thursday afternoon, owing to the
sickness of Speaker Morgan, and
the senate adjourned until $3.50
o'clock yesterday morning. The
last speech made upon the question
was made by Senator Bell, who
made an able and exhaustive argu-
ment in its favor.
1t is now thought certain that the
bill will pass. There is great ex-
element among u citizens to
learn the result. Although a
binding snow storm is falling,
groups OF men are standing up
on the streets discussing the
subject, and the telegraph Office
is crowded. The universal wish is
that it may pass and Tennessee's
honor and credit be vindicated.
Steady writing to the Courier
Journal at l o'clock last night says :
NASHVILLE, March 3i.-It is
now nearly certain that the 1908
bill will pass. 1t may not pass to-
morrow, nor perhaps not until
Monday, but that 1t will finally be-
come a law, | have the very best OF
information for stating.
At the hour of going to press we
have heard nothing later.

THE AFRICAN wan ENDED.

England has done a just and hon.
orable thing, and the Gladstone adj
ministratiOn gained high praise by
making peace with the brave Beers
of South Africa. The British sol
diers had been wOrsted thus far by
this patriotic and liberty-loving
little band of natives; yet, it can
hardly be doubted that England
could, in time, by superior force
and numbers, have driven them
from their homes and wreaked
her vengeance upon them. To her
honor, be it said, she has taken the
more honorable and courageous
course. She has made a fair COM
promise and peaceable settlement
with the inhabitants of the Trans
vaal. The war was unjust, and
Gladstone honored himself in over
riding the English passion and
prejudice and doing justice to a
brave people. England's action in
this unequal contest will be APP
plauded by all good people.

IT is a pleasant way they have
nowadays of c%Onsoling the bounc-
ed members of defunct administra-
tons by administering to the inner
man. The German citizens of New
York, complimented Carl Schurz
the other day with an elegant BAN
quet at Delmonicos. Such curtesies
seem to go far towards assuaging
the grief of ex-office holders.
