Samuel !. Tilden a few years ago.
The World Of yesterday says "A
few days since it was given out
that Judge T. W. Turley, of Franklin,
had been appointed a special Judge Of
our Supreme Court, in he room Of
Judge Freeman, who, it was said, was
unable to work at the ensuing term Of
said court, on account of physical
prostration. This is not so. Judge
Turley was appointed to hold the
Chaneery court at Lewisburg, because
Chancellor W. s. Fleming is conYa-
leseing from a severe attack Of fux.
1t was said at the same time that
Judge Andrews, Of Knoxville, had
been appointed to I'll the seat ofChief
Justice Deaderick, who was reported
disabled. The announcement Of
appointments so early and SO far in
advance Of the meeting of the court,
caused the knowing public to prick
its ears and inquire very solicitously
about the matter. Never in the his
tory Of that tribunal has there been
such anxiety manifested about the
condition, physically and mentally, of
the honored occupants. Tennesee ex-
poets every man to do his duty in

The Facts as 10 Public senti.
ment.

nashville World, III
The people in Nashville who have
been accustomed to rely upon the pa
pers published here, aud get their in
formation as to public sentiment from
these papers, are but poorly informed
as to the sentiments of the people all
over the State upon the subject of the
State debt. 1t is constantly being
reiterated here that the matter is set
tied, and that the people are perfectly
satisfied to go on paying their taxes
without murmuring; whereas the REQ
pie pay their tax because they are
obliged to pay it, and they know full
well there is no escape frcm either
death or taxation. The papers that
report the people marching up mer-
rily to headquarters and paying their
taxes, are certainly not posted, and the
papers that take it for granted because
they have done this. they are acqui-
eseing in the 1908 bill, 60 a long ways
to ind an argument to support the
theory that the measure is a popu-
lar one. The people have paid their
taxes because they were obliged to
do it. Perhaps these same papers
have forgotten that during the terrible
drought last summer in many locali-
ties in this State, did the people as.
semble and petition for a postpone.
ment Of the taxes. The same paper
which now represents them as march
ing up in a heavenly frame Of mind to
pay their taxes, can refresh its mem
ory on this point BY looking into its
waste basket Tor the recorded pro
eeedings Of some OF these meetings,
which it was asked to publish, but
which It declined TO do. We prefer
not to shut our eyes to the fact that
the people all over the State have
manifested a hearty disapproyal of
tie bill TO settle at 1903. Men whose
business confines them to the narrow
liEtts of the city of Nashville and
who do not get out into other portions
Of the State. little dream Of the
amount Of dissatisfaction which exists
on this subject. Those men, however.
who do take occasional visits away
from Nashville, find that we have not
IN the least misrepresented the situa-
ton. There is no i~nducement 10 US
to pursue such a course. We are In
no way responsible for this dissatig.
faction, and We do not propose to shut
our eyes to the fact that il docs exist.
Where is the use of lulliDg our Nash
vile readers to sleep by singing to
them that the State debt is settled
upon a satisfactory basis, and the Yot-
ers of the State are pleased and
delighted with il? We prefer that
they shall know the facts in the case.
and 50 far as We are able. we will try
to give them both sides Of all questions
In which they are interested. If we
were TO say now that the people we're
satisfied, aud there was no opposition
TO the 100 3 settlement, they would
learn, sooner or later, that VIC had not
only been mistaken ourselves, but that
we had led them into the same mis-
take. w have not reached the point
when. in order to have onr own way.
We are willing to suppress the exist
ence Of facts.

The Late ArchbIshop McTIaIe.

By far the most important loss Il
has sustained since the death Of Plus

hierarchy Of Europe in the death Of
John McHale, Archbishop of Tuam,
Ireland. This venerable prelate was
born in the county Of Mayo, ireland.
In 1880, and wal consequently in his
ninety-second year. In 1914 he was
ordained priest and appointed pro-
lessor OF dogmatic theology in May
nootb College. While acting in this
capacity he published an important
series Of controversial letters on
Catholic emancipation. Three years
later be wrote a book in defense of
his religion which was at once trans
lated into French and German. In
1874 he was elevated to the titular
~episcopacy Of Killala. and a few
months later RAJ created Archbishop
Of Tuam. Besides constructing sew
eral cathedrals, he is said to have
built or repaired in his lifetime up-

can converts and three big schools for
Christian Brothers. Toward the latter
part Of his life he edited an Irish YER
sion Of Moore's Melodies" an Irish
version Of six books Of the "Iliad."
and an English and Irish translation
Of the Pentateuch and other books of
the Old Testament. Archbishop Nc
Hale was a strenuous advocate Of
Catholic Emancipation in Ireland. and
much Of the success Of that movement
Is ascribed TO his personal endeayors.

ofthe institute consists of eight teach
ers, some Of whom are graduates ofthe
best normal schools at the North.
About fifty young men in the school
pay their way by working mornings
and evenings. The entire cost of the
school per year is about $4,000. The
American Missionary Association sup
ports it with about fifty other similar
schools Of different grades, among
which are twelve colleges or chartered
institutions at the South. The total
amount expended by the association
in its work last year, mostly at the
South, was 1929, GAG %. The income
of the association is derived from Con-
gregational or independent churches
and philanthropical persons at the
North and in England. It's accom.
plishing a great work the result Of
which will be realized in the ages to
come. Dir. Steele has been here sew
eral years and has made many friends
among all classes. He is a quiet,
pleasant gentleman, a hard and con-
.sciertious worker in a field of edu-
cation which a few years ago was not
very inviting or promising. Our
leading citizens, irrespective Of politics
GA the part they took in the late war,
have given him a very hearty welcome
