Col. lanes Il. HALEY.

We reproduce, from the Erin Re-
view, the following true and befit-
ting testimonial to the Inanliness,
worth and high character of one of
Montgomery county's most deserv-
eddy honored sons:
We were pleased to see the Hon.
James E. Bailey, of GAINESVILLE,
EX-United States Senator, in atten-
dance on our court engaged in an
important law suit, to wit: f. NJ.
McAdoO and others, VS.. Lagrange
Iron Works. His numerous friends
and constituents of this distinguish
ed gentleman residing in Houston
were glad to see him, to shake hands
once more with a faithful public SER
want, and to perceive that he had
not lost that courtesy, ease and ur-
banity of manner which has char
acterized him from his boyhOod.
These same friends regarded his
defeat for a second term in the u. s.
Senate as one of the greatest of out
RACES. He literally fell a victim to
his own manlinesS and indepen-
lions of state and National emer-
gency, Col. Bailey's voice gives
forth no uncertain sound. He
strikes right out from the shoulder.
Because he thought proper to raise
his voice from Carter to Shelby
earnestly in favor of preserving the
honor and credit of the gallant old
volunteer State, the State in which
he was born, he was beaten by
faction of the Democratic party
aided ~ Republican votes. Ifpub-
lie opinion is to be regarded as any
criterion of the correctness and
soundness of his views, "the people"
of Tennessee have said by vote of
10000 out of 100000 that he was
right. And his conduct showed
that he had rather be right than to
be senator. His defeat is an ever
lasting bid to the honorable and
ambitious young men of Tennessee
not to dare lift up their voices for
the right in opposition to popular
clamor, (Which is sometimes egregi-
ously wrong,) but fall in with the
popular current, to sacrifice princi-
pal to eXpediency and personal am
bition, and to express honest opin-
ion for fear of losing votes.

fiuous to say that our amusement

this famous play and its splendid
presentation by the Madison Square

fed the splendid reputation she has
gained in the beautiful character of

FOR SHAME.

In the House of Representatives
at Nashville last Monday our Rep
resentative, Mr.. r. N. Rhodes of
fered resolutions of respect to the
late President James a. Garfield
and moved a suspension of the rules
for the purpose of adopting them.
1t was moved by Mr.. Anderson
that the resolution be adopted by
rising vote. The Banner says sit
was supposed, of course, every men,
Der of the house would be willing
and glad to vote for the resolutions,
but to the intense surprise and inf
mite disgust of the house, one men,
Der arose, and in a weak, effeminate
voice, uttered his objections to vOt-
ing for the resolutions and fell back
into the Oblivion from which he
came, and will now forever re-
MAN," This was John r.. Beasley,
the leader of the low-tax element in
the House When the resolutions
were put to vote every member of
the House except Beasley and his
prOtege, Head, voted for it. The
other members of the house deeply
deplored the Obstinacy of these
members and regretted that a sin
gle member had refused to support
the resolution. In the language of
Representative Wiltse, we say: "let
any gentleman that chooses, take
upon his contemplate, head the
scorn that it will raise in every pat
riOtic BOSOM"

ALAS! how wretched, must be
that poor Confederate Brigadier
who hangs upon the favor of his
Republican allies. Having used
him in corrupt bargain, they have
already begun to sicken of him.
His friends in Washington the 9TH
er day tried hard to get up a seren-
ade for the distinguished Readjus-
ter, but upon applying to his sup
posed friends for their share of the
wherewithal to pay for the band
and the blue lights, they declined
to "ante up" and no soul-stirring
streams cheered the lonely repudia-
tor on that night. Such ingratitude
is the meanest of all crimes, and,
doubtless, the Senator has already
awakened to the bitter thought
that had he served his State with
half the zeal he served these base
ingrates, she would not have failed
to come to time on those sad, mel
ancholy nights when his weary
heart yearned for the gloom-dispel-
ling music of brass band. If he
will come back into the fold, we
will promise to have him nightly
soothed to gentle slumbers under
the Gnellifuous tintinnabulations of
a first class tin-pan orchestra.

our WASHINGTON LErrER.
tFrcm our gegular Correspondent,

(Frcm our -egular Correspondent
Quite a number of speeches were
spread on the record in the Senate
last week and no less than 800 bills
were introduced in the House, and
nearly 600 in the Senate.
The speeches in the Senate were
chiefly. on civil service reform, and
the subject of the presidential sue
cessiOn in case of the death or disa-
bility of the regularly elected exc
cutive. Senator Garland, of Arkan-
sas, introduced a. bill, the object of
which was to ensure the presiden-
tlal succession against such confu-
sion as was threatened on the death
of Garfield, both the Senate and the
House being left without a head,
and the Vice-President alone stand
ing between the chief magistracy
and possible anarchy. Mr.. Gar
lands bill proposing that the sue
cession shall lie in the Cabinet may
be crude and faulty, but if it shall
have an effect to call public atten-
ton to the subject of the presiden
tial succession and election, it will
have done much good. Certainly,
in our system of Government, when
the sovereign prerogatives are ves-
ted in the people, and are peremto-
rily transferable every four years,
there should be most careful precau-
ton against ever imminent lapses.
The American people have great
and laudable respect for the institu-
tions of the founders. Conservative
sentiment acts like Westinghouse
brake on the break-neck speed of
modern progress but it is evident
to all thinking men that, the pattern
cut from sea-coast population of
three millions, in stage coach and
turnpike era, will have to be enlarg
ed to fit fifty millions, of people, OPP
Grating through steam and electric
ity, from ocean to ocean.
Mr.. Blaine retires, and Mr.. Ere
linghuysen takes his place. The re-
firing premier has been severely
criticized for his South American
diplomacy. He has even been call
ed ''rackety and journalistic" in his
management of our foreign affairs /!
The difference between him and
his predecessor is that Mr.. Blaine
has direct Bismarckian way of do
ing things, and does not, like Mr..
Evarts, send encyclopaedia dis
patches. The South American mat
ter is of but little importance, and
it makes but little difference to us
who is recognized as president of
either of any of those perpetual an
arches called republics. But Mr..
Blaine's more important paper,
with reference to the Panama ca
nal, observe, is criticized only by
aliens, averse to our national claims
and policy. His assertion that the
route across the isthmus is a part of
our coast line, will receive the sane
ton of every American capable of
'scoping" our destiny on this side
the globe. Whether that destiny
shall be to slowly absorb the CONT
nents and islands of this hemis-
phere, or to simply exercise such
peaceful suzerainty over the weaker
powers, as Germany, by alliance
with Austria, is now seeking to
exercise in Europe, the waterway
to the Pacific can be controlled by
the United States alone.

unanimously declared the choice of
the convention. VIM. Peyton,
Chas. Keesee, and other prominent
colored citizens, were present, and
said they were there to pledge the

rHE ADvANcEmENT.


On last Saturday the Supreme
court of the State decided. in one Of
the clearest and most unanswerable
decisions ever eminating from that
high tribunal, to advance the IA
nous 1908 Injunction case on its
docket, and set it for hearing on the
18th. of January next. We are
glad of this and believe it will meet
with the appreciation of a great
majority of the people of the State.
We rejoIce at it, not in any parti-
san exultatiOn or simply because
we are pleased that the step we adj
vocated has been followed, but for a
higher and truer reason, and that
is, because we sincerely believe the
speedy decision of the question one
way or the other, will redound in
much great good to the prosperity,
the welfare and the happiness of
Tennessee. We do not propose to
go back and recount the iIiad of
woes, the thousand ills and misfor-
tunes that have come to dear old
Tennessee in the few years just
passed all on account of the deplora-
bic agitation of this hurtful State
debt question, for these are, in
deed, innumerable and could rot be
told; but we wish to express our
unqualifiable approval of this action
of the Supreme court and to assert
our intention to stand by the final
action OF the court. The deter
minatiOn to advance it on the
docket seems to be considered by
some as the final decision of the
case. We know lot how this may
be, but one thing we do truly hope,
and that is that those State-credit
Democrats, who have lately run off
on the 50-4 idea, will hoid up bit
and bide the final decision of the
court. They have promised to
abide by the decision of our highest
court and we believe they will do
it. Let them call halt in their
arrangement and see what this
honorable court decides to do, be-
fore they allow their passions to get
the better of their judgment. If
they are going to abide by the de-
cision of the court why not wait
and see? The Supreme court is
composed of honorable and tried
men, whom they profess to believe
will do justice, then why not await
their decision? Do they not know
they are forming third faction in
the ranks of the Democratic party, |
which will still deeper widen the
breach and let ia the Republican
party to full control of the State? |
Poor Democrats, indeed, must they |
be, if they still continue in the face
of the near decision of this vexa-
tiOus question, to stir up strife and |
dissensions in the ranks of the Dem
Ocracy, Let's hear the decision of |
the Supreme court and then come |
together as brothers and true DEM
ocrats and reclaim our State from
the hands of the Republican party.
