The board Of school visitors is too
large, 1t is an unwieldy body, yet
often welded by an active minority.
We have no especial fault to find, and
certainly no objections personally to
any of the gentlemen who compose
the board. But we do object to such
a large body of men being organized
to transact business which could be
done better by one-fourth the mum
Der. Instead of two visitors from
each ward one visitor from two wards
would work much better. Let the
board be cut down to five members,
and its efficiency will be increased
even as the Taxing District govern
ment in a few hands is an improve
ment over the old cumbrous system.
Do this, do away with the high school,
take a new start and the LEDGER will
try to be foremost in advocating a
thorough system of good common
schools, and when it comes to build
ing school houses such as are needed
we win favor that also. This is a fair
proposition. Come to time, gentle
men, and we will stand together
shoulder to shoulder in a commoh
cause.

Mr.. G. F. Hall, the baritone singer

Of William Tell" and again appeared
with equ-l credit as Count ArDheim

lyric artist Of solepdid dramatic fin

Mr.. George A. Comfy, another f. Z

is also a gentleman of culture and a

so much imposing grace aud grandeur.
Mr.. Comfy ranks seccAd to no artist in
America as a basso profuudo, aud, IN

equal to him. The deep. clear tones

on the admiral's iron-clad. Soon
afterwards we left the palace. Such
was the presentation at the imperial
court.
Some one has said that he who can

proud, and so | fully appreciate the

pervous-I would cay embarrassment,
were he not a king. Then, too, in the
palace, there was not that proiusion OF
eastern splendor l had expected. Like
the empire, it is faded, and remains
only a relic Of former prosperity. All
the gorgeousness | saw was in the
uniforms and decorations of the OIL
GERS. 1,
The State dinner, which was ordered
by the sultan, vas given the next day
at the admiralty, aud far surpassed all
expectations in elegance aud lavish
ness. There we're only two officers
present under the rank Of commander,
most of them being past captains,
commodorcs and admirals. :,
After the reception in the council
chamber, a room Of magnificent pro-
portions, now celebrated as the scene
of the debates Of the ConstantiDople
conference, where cigarettes wee
smoked aud the officers presented, we
were escorted to the diuing-loom.
Covers were laid for forty, AID the
table was most beau fully sci. The
high rank. of he officers, the splendor
of their dress, heightened by swords,
for swords were worn at the table. and
the elegance and case with which
everything was conducted, con,ribut |
to an impressive and digqiicd eco.

At tho conclusion Of the dinner,
General Longstreet proposed the
health of the C naa. figure Of the
Ottoman empire, with the hope that
he might always rest serene on his
pillow and enjoy a long and prosper
Gus reign" Afterward several toasts
were drunk, after which we were
taken around the rOoms and the OBJ
iects of interest poinled out. Coffee
was served after leaving the dining
room, as is the custom in some parts
of Europe, and later in the evening
chartreus and cognac, cigars and
cigarettess, of course. About
nine o'clock we left,
after the most elegant aud cordial en-
tertainment Of the cruise. 1t is some
thing to be always remembered with
pleasure, aud Yet ANYTHING | could

that a brass band Of forty pieces began

BAILEY hi SAVAGE.

1t may look like a paradox to place
these two names together, when the
men are so far apart and so different
in some respects. Their juxtapositiOn
proper does not indicate that they are
together, except that both are promi-
nent as leaders Of conflicting interests
and factions within the democratic
party of Tennessee. They are opposed,
it is true, only upon matters Of do.
nestle policy, but it has happened, un-
fortunately, that state and national
issues have been linked together in
such a way that Tennessee is we'll
nigh lost to the democratic party. The
party, perhaps, has too many leaders.
it is useless to p%hilosophise now ;
when it is all over and the passions Of
the hour have given place to sober re-
Fiction, we will all see where mis-
takes were made once how party Dis
union could have been avoided. This is
not the time to renew a family quar-.
rel, which lever should have been
begun. But it may not be i'll timed
to remark that some Of the leaders
have over-reached themselves and
can never again WELD as much inau-
ence as they have heretofore and very
recently. The men who bring on
disastrous war are liable to be retired
afterward. But we only started GU.
to introduce as a phase of the presen.
complications a portion Of an articl,
which appeared last week in the Muir

stated editorially, by one Of the ablesI
lawyers ofthe state and a leading stat
credit man. 1t seems to indicate thai

lows:
One should be elected senator who
could best restore party harmony and
success, and whose former history
makes him most deserving. By this
criterion let the senator be selected.
without regard to the late unfortunate
differences in the party. You say the
leaders Of the factions must not be
thrown overheard. On this we agree.
Let us then compare the great leaders
Public ledger. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1865-1893, 1881-01-18

of each faction, keeping steadily out
of view the late differences.
John HI. Savage was the leader on
one side, and Senator Bailey on the
other. How do they compare is now
the only question. For parliamentary
experience no one will contend that
Senator BaiIeyis the equal of Colonel
Savage. Colonel Savage has served so
long in deliberative bodies as to have
learned by experience all the rules and
usages recognized by parliamentary
law. For many years he was a mem
Der of congress from this state, as we'll
as a member Of the Tennessee legisla-
ture. While in congress he was a
most jealous advocate of pensioning
the soldiers Of the war of 1872. While
in congress he always stood wisely by
the interests of the democratic party.
His speech in congress on the COM
promise measure of 1850 has been read
and spoken in nearly every school
house in the nation.
All those who have read Fields
Scrap-book know that it is one OF the
brightest gems ofAmerican eloquence.
Can any production of Bailey's be
found to compare with it? Ii 50 let 1t
be produced. The personal merit OF
the two and their service OF country
is rot improper elements to be looked
to. Savage, when a boy, served his
country in the Florida war with gal
lantry and distinction. In his mature
years, in the Mexican war, and yet
wears the honored scars, constantly
reminding us Of his gallantry and SER
vice Of country.
Senator Bailey's wal record has not
vet broke upon the country, it re-
mains to be unfolded by the Ameri-
can with a shower Of adjectives. L
believe he served in the co1federacy
on the staff of Senator Harris. II l.
get his history correct, it was n free
from hardship or danger.
Colonel Savage served too in this
war, which was upon the field and in
the midst of danger, as bis bOnored
scars attest. Which record presents
the most personal merit? Let the
American answer and tell Us here
what Senator Bailey has done in war
and ia peace to win distinction. With
the Americans idea that the leaders
of the late faction must furnish the
senator without regard to the late diff
~ferences, and the rules heretofore
aiven as the criterion for the selection
of United States senator, should not
the American support Colonel Savage?
1t is not too late for the American to
make character for magnanimity and
party discretion.
