Gen. Sherman's Slang.

From a Washington Letter.
The Endorsement made by Gen
Sherman on official papers and docu-
ments will, in the course of time, be a
matter of much study, and doubtless
some little amusement to the men who
have to rake over them for reference
after the general has departed. Gen.
Sherman uses very frequently slang
in indorsing official papers, and is
quite profuse in attaching to them
quotations from the popular operas
and plays of the day. There is one
expression of his more commonly met
with han any other. Almost numer-
Gus instances are found where he says
he cannot see sin all June" why this
or that should not be. An indorse-
ment by Gen. Sherman upon a re.
quest from Gen. Mcdowell, shows
very clearly how official papers reach
the office of the secretary of "a after
being referred to the general
of the army. Gen. Mcdowell re-
quested that he be allowed to have
painted q portrait of himself to be
hung up in his headquarters in San
Francisco. In his Endorsement Gen.
Sherman says that Gen. Ord and Gen.
Scofield have been allowed to have
their portraits painted as a special
privilege, but if this kept on there
would not be a second lieutenant in
the army who would not want a por.
trait painter to take his likeness al
the expense of the government. Thu;
the general says, in the language OF
''Pinafore:" "The line must be
drawn somewhere, and / propose that
it be drawn right here, and that nc
more portraits be painted at govern.
mental expenses. After such al
Endorsement as this, it is perhaps
unnecessary to state that Gen,
Mcdowell was not allowed to sit foi
his portrait at Uncle Sans expense.

geon-general of the army. He ought
never to have been talked of for the
place. 1t is known that he has not been
examined for and which he probably
could not fill. 1t was arranged to
have him mentioned for the place, but
thanks to himself, he will not heroaf-
ter be even mentioned. In my opin-
ion no change will occur in the sur
geon.generalship. Barnes will be
allowed to retain it MS long "a he
pleases, but if he should die to-mor-
row Baxter would not get it. Let me
tell you another fact: Baxter's claim
to the position of "family physician
to the president exists only i'll his
fevered Imagination. Mrs. Garfield
said to the wife of u cabinet of
Ger, who repeated it to me only
a day or two since: DIR.
Baxter s statement that he
was or is our family physician is su-
premely ridiculous. No physician has
the right to claim that he is our fami-
ly physician. DIR. Boynton, our rela-
tive, comes as near being our family
physician as any one, and he does not
claim that title "As a matter of
fact, continued the doctor, the Gar
fields never had a family physician.
Baxter prescribed for them, Boyn-
ton prescribed for them, ] prescribed
for them, so did n dozen others.
When they needed the service of a
physician they called one in. Baxter
had the audacity to come into the con-
sultation room next to the sick-room
of the president on the morning of
of the Sunday after the shooting, and
say: "Bliss, 1 want to see the presi-
dent. l am his physician" I'm
paralleled %eilrontry is characteristic
of the man. Dir. Bliss detailed
the now familiar conversation between
Baxter and himself, concluding: And
| said TO him. "All know thet you
are and have been for years a profess
ional lobby t, a nan who has toadied
to the great, attending all public
officials who would accept your
services gratuitously. l admit don't
object to that. You got all that your
services were worth. We know that
you are Il shame ana q disgrace TO the
medical profession of this city"
"You're a liar" burst cut Baxter,
who was very angry. ] was as cool as
a cucumber, although l looked, Rey-
burn said afterwards, very much dis
gusted, and l said, as coolly as pos
sible, 81 am astonished and
panied to see you forgetting your
duties to your brother physician as a
gentleman and a physician to such an
extent as to apply to me such an
epithet in a place where you know l
cannot possibly resent it." Just here
my son-in-law Fred forcibly expelled
him. We agreed = Reyburn, Mason
and my self-to hush the matter up,
but Baxter vomited it about, and we
had to tell the straight story to the
cabinet and the family. They are
united in condemnlng Baxter"

A Surgical Aspect OF the Spells
System.

What may be called a surgical as
pect of the spoils system has been set
forth by DR., Bliss to a correspondent
of the Boston journal. After grace
fully intimating that the attending
surgeons of the president have known
for some time that DIR, Baxter was
the inspirer of much of the published
criticism of the surgical treatment of
the case, DIR. Bliss tells afresh the
pretty story of his battle over the
presidents body with Baxter, and
gives us this picture of the spoils sys-
tenn in its application to SO high AN
Office as that of encouragement of
the army. 1t will be seer that Bliss
confirms the story that an arrange
ment existed between President
Hayes and his successor for the ben
eft of Gen. Swain and DIR. Baxter:
referring To Baxter, DIR. Bliss
said: 'He has cooked his goose
brown, It's overdono, in fact. He
is not so big a man as he was six weeks
ago, and less worthy of attention.

passed the 1908 act. 1t Is alleged by
certain respectable tax payers that
this act is unconstitutional, and upon
this and other grounds,set forth in a
petition to Judge Williams, an in
junction was granted restraining the
state officers from funding the bonded
debt under the act. That is all there
is in the case. A motion to dismiss
has been entered on the ground that
the chancellor who granted the in
junction had no jurisdiction, and the
case will come up for hearing Tues
day, the 18th inst, at Nashville.
These organs know we'll enough why
the validity of the state debt was
never brought up in the state courts.
1t was never contemplated that the
state should be sued, although this
was permitted for brief period by an
act of the legislature Neither wing
of the democratic party, and not even
the republican party so far as I'VE arein-
formed, has advocated that thecourts
should be thrown open so that the
state could be sued like an ordinary in
dividual or firm. There is some little
respect left all around we hope for the
autonomy and sovereignty of the state,
much as the words states rights and
sovereignty have been misunderstood
and abused. When the first Tenr es
see bonds we're issued many years ago
there was no provision in the consti-
tuition of the state under which the
state could be sued or made
to receive the coupons for taxes.
1t remained for a small but thoroughly
organized class of modern statesmen
to devise scheme whereby the state
was to be shorn Of its sovereign pre-
rogative and bound by simple act OF
the legislature for ninety-nine years.
This is direct blow at the life of the
state and principles laid down for
many generations. Any clique, fac
ton, ring, party or set of men,
of whatsoever name or position,
who think they can fasten such an
arbitrary and unheard of measure upon
free people and give it permanent
binding force, will find out their mis-
take. No party lash, no oracle, no
gerrymandering convention, com
mittee or legislature can cram this
sert of thing down the Threats Of the
people of Tennessee.

OUR NEW OLIGARCHY.
Ex-Chief Justice Agnew on the
Tendencies aud Dangers of
COnkllngism.

Ex-Chief Justice AgneW delivered
an address at the commencement ex-
ercises of Roanoke College, Salem,
Va, last week on Dangers of the
Republican Government of the
United States" In the course of his
address he alluded to the danger from
the rule of quasi-feudal oligarchy,
which obtains and perpetuates its
power by deceiving the people, and
continued.
Sometimes the oligarchs choose
chief whose wealth or other at
tributes may be used for the
benefit of the system. The power
and mode of action Of this organizaa
ton is often seen in Its control of na-
tional affairs. Through the oligarchy
state convention is called in hot
haste, before the people can act in
primary capacity. This thing is often
prepared year beforehand, and dele
gates not chosen by them, but APP
pointed by a sub-organism, are sent
wearing the bonnet and kilt of the
,chieftain, whose whistle heard
1.-The signsl sarrisous the glen
q At once with full five hundred men,"
Perhaps to stihe local or independent
opinion they resolved that the dele
gates shall vote as a unit, and the
chieftain casts it-"Solid for Null
hooly." Thus, too, ardent unionists
and defenders of nationality, suddenly
are transformed into loud defenders
of state rights, and sing peans to the
power and mighty of solid state
that is, solid for The oligarchy.
These modes are sometimes carried
into the affairs of the nation itself. 1t
is not enough to control factions, such
leaders mustcontrol the government.
This they effect not only by caucus,
but by engrossing the powers of the
president. To do this a new reading
is given to the constitution.
The constitution gives the president
the sole power Of the nominations, but
the chieftain. carried into the senate
by fundal power, turns upon the exec
utive with inimitable assurance, and
demands that he be consulted
before a nomination. Not con-
tent with his own pswer to confirm
or reject, he must be the channel of
nomination also. And if perchance,
nomination be made without his
permission, the president must with
draw it, or be held guilty of trans.
crossing the privileges of the senate.
A common understanding would con-
slider this an invasion of the power of
nomination. Not so with the chieftain;
his swollen Importance sees no change
Of the constitution in his demand; he
would rather resign and destroy the
power of his party than lose his own.

Mhat Makes the Rate Of Interest.

The difficulty Of finding profitable
employment for their surplus incomes,
which so many unlucky rich people
experience nowadays, and which is
daily pushing higher and higher the
price Of safe interest and dividend
bearing securities, is ably treated in a
paper by Edward Atkinson, What
Makes the Rate of Interest" in the
international Review for July. Mr..
Atkinson S view is summed up in this
paragraph:
I'm general it may be said that the
productive capacity Of this country
has during the last decade outrun the
social, political and industrial educa-
ton of the people. The very low rate
Of interest now paid for the. use Of
capital-or, in other words, the very
small income that can now be earned
on capital that is lent on the safest
seeurity-is due less to want Of oppor-
tunity to use it than to want Of conf
dence in the capacity Of character Of
those who enjoy the opportunity, but
who could, If morally, mentally and
physically well trained, find ways to
employ every dollars worth Of sub
stance which is produced in the land.
If all orr common laborers, especially
in the southern states, possessed more
skill, and could direct their labor
more intelligeutly, there would
be quicker demand for all Of
our capital. If all states we're
free from reputation, their
people would not suffer for need Of
capital. 1t may follow that a very
low rate Of interest 10 a country Of
such unlimited possibilities as our
own is not a matter 10 boast Of over
much, although it may enable us TO
reduce the burd n Of interest on our
debt Such q saving is but a trife,
and could well be spared if we could
safely and surely apply our means to
the more complete use Of our i'm
mense advantages. But the mental
aud moral changes which 10 ust occur
10 order 70 assure quicker and safe
demand for e4pital must be Of slow
growth, and it now seems probable,
70 say the least, that the normal rate
e interest on safe inyesime lis viii be
lJW for long period.
10 other words, interest is low be-
cause Of the limited number Of Dor.
overs whom the owners Of caDital
are willing 70 trust. Most Of those
whom they would trust have capita
Of their own. and will not borrow
while those who want 10 borrow vii
not, il il feared, be able 70 reDay wher
called on. Consequently, leaders com
pete with one another 10 seekinf
opportunities 70 lend safely, and III,
rate OF interest goes steady QOWD
how long this condition Of thinqs vii
last no one can predict with absolute
confidence, but Dir. Atkinson think
it will not change soon.
