ADJUSTMENTS.
JANE CooMBs.

Last night the Jane Coombs combination
appeared at Harper's theatre in the play of
Ingomar. to only fair sized audience.
The play is one which, to be at all effect
i've, requires very fine support, and this
was not rendered by the company last eve
ming.
The majority of the actors imagined that
noise and uncouth makeups constituted the
characters of the play, and if such was the
actual fact they were eminently success
full
Miss Coombs as Parthenia was not at
her best as the character is not exactly
suited to her acknowledged abilities. Her
studied defamation was not consisten
with the part.
The audience was quite appreciative of
the good points made, and honored the
star by call before the curtain.

GUITEAU'S Appeal.

During this week when the whole
country's attention is again freshly
called to the great national tragedy
by Mr.. Blaine's eloquent and pa
thetic resume of the life and charac-
ter of the great victim, doubtless
many will be curious to know what
steps the lOathsome murderer is
taking to ward off the just and mer-
tied punishment which his heinOus
crime entails upon him. AS is well
known, he has appealed to the Dis
trict court in banc, for reversal of
the judgment of the lower court,
and with that cool, demoniacal as
surance and sublime cheek, which
makes him a moral mOnstrosity, he
confidently asserts that he will yet
be turned loose. 1t is stated thai
the court in banc will sit some time
in April to hear his appeal. As it
is stated that Judge Cox in the con-
duet of the case took no doubtful
step. without first consulting his
associate judges of the District, it
is hardly probable this court will
reverse the decision. The assassin
is justly doomed man, and after
a few months of neglect, public at
tention will once more be concen
trated on the fated wretch as the
day draws near for his execution.

THEY say mo COMPROMISE

In this hour of compromise and
conciliation, when all good Demo
Gratis are Disposed to .sforgive and
forget" the past and heal party
differences, and work together
shoulder to shoulder to try and solve
the question of dissension among
themselves, and then prevent the
State from falling into the hands of
the Republican party, it would be
discOuraging indeed-if such jour-
mails had any force or influence-to
read such sentiments as the follow
ing from those ultra-no-credit sheets,
the Shelbyville Commercial and
McMinnville New Era. They say:
The leaders of the low-tax de-
mocracy cannot honestly take any
other ground on, this State debt
Issue than they occupied in the last
canvass. Standing ON that basis i'll
the coming State canvass glorious
victory awaits Them. 4 deviation
would bring disgrace and defeat.

tee call a convention for the purpose
of nominating a candidate for Gov
ernor, and adopting or readopting
its platform, without any consulta-
ton or action with any other COM
mittee, and invite all original anti
1908 men to participate, and all will
turn out hal moniOuSly.
Let each county send up Simon
pure low-tax representatives as del
egates TO said convention and no
other. We don't believe in mixing
up the pure with the impure. ALI
honest anti-100-3 men will support

without being hired to do so, and as

EDITOR DOAK RESIGNS.

Mr.. III. M. Doak has resigned the
editorship of the Nashville Ameri-
can. 1t had been known for some
time that the American, by the
sale of the interest of the late Col.
Jno. G. Burch, had fallen into new
hands, and rumors of a change of
policy and editors have been rife
for some weeks, but nothing was
definitely known until last Sun
days issue Of the paper which con-
tanned Mr.. II. NJ. Doak's, the edit
or-in-chief, resignation. The news
was received here, at his old home
where he is generally known and
universally esteemed, with sincere
regret. Mr.. Daak entered the hon.
Orable field of journalism in this
city, as editor and part owner of
the Tobacco Leaf, in which position
he remained for six years. During
this time his splendid talents and
natural adaptability for the work
he had chosen, quickly displayed
themselves and he soon won for
& himself widespread name and
reputation as one of the most bril-
liant and promising young Journal
lists of the South. This well-deserv-
ed reputation easily secured for him
a position in higher and broader
field of action, and in 1876 he was
called to Nashville to take charge
of the editorial department of the
American. How well he has sus
tanned himself and placed himself
prominently forward in the front
rank of American newspaper wri-
tiers is known TO every reader of the
American and to the country at
large. He is justly considered one
of the ablest, soundest and most
gifted editorial writers of the day.
His writings are signally marked
with an originality of thought and
weight of meaning rarely found in
newspaper writings. The policy
he has seen fiji to pursue as a public
preceptor and monitor cannot fail
TO command the true respect and
confidence of men of thought and
intelligence. During the past
twelve years no Journalist in the
State has endeavored to uphold Il
higher standard or a lOftier public
policy than he, and we wish him
many long years to come, that he
may continue to weld his mastery
pen in defense of the sacred honor,
good faith and credit of Tennessee,
and in the cause of her progress and
prosperity.
In his valedictory, Mr.. Doak does
not say what will be his future
course, but there are rumors of a
new paper at the Capitol of which
he will be the editor. One thing
may be stated as certain, his pen
will not be long idle, and in com
mon with his many friends here,
the CHRONICLE hopes to read after
him ia Tennessee paper.

THE CORRECT VIEW.

The Dresden Democrat in a brief
and clear-headed article sums up
this whole hurtful and tiresOme
State debt question in an honest and
fair-minded manner when it says
''we owe the debt and it should be
paid. If the creditors of the State
will voluntarily scale their bonds
then we can hOnorably compro-
mise with them. We are now, as
we have ever been, unalterably OPP
posed to the dictation of terms of
settlement by the State. If by ne
gOtiatIOn, the creditors and the State
can mutually agree upon a basis of
settlement, then we will cheerfully
endorse such Il settlement" This
Is exactly our position and we think
ought TO commend itself to the
sound sense of every man in the
State. 1t is the view every State
credit man in the State takes of the
case. 1t is with the State lust as
with any other public or private
debtor. No man with any sense of
honesty would say that u private
debtor had the right TO go to his
creditor and demand that he COM
promise on his (the debtor's) terms.
But il may be said that the debtor
has the right to show his condi-
ton to his creditor and state to
him upon what terms he would
like to settle. This is true, nor are
we opposed to the States doing
this. If the Legislature or any man
can propose plan of compromise
to the boud-hOlders, which they
will voluntarily and freely accept,
why then, we and every State-credit
man in Tennessee, would be per-
fectiy ready and willing to settle ut
that figure. The point we simply
want to make is this, that no State
has right, either legally or NOR
rally, to demand or force Il settle
ment of its outstanding indebted
ness by cOercive measures. This
would amount to population and
cast an everlasting stain and dis
grace upon the State which attempt
ed to enact such an infamous crime.
Tennessee has never repudiated
dollar of her Indebtedness and we
are proud to believe she never will.

THE Banners cruel correspondent
from this city says: another ep-
idemic of weddings has broken out
here, and the air is redOlent of or
auge blossoms. Campbell, of the
CHRONICLE, and Brandon, of the
Leaf, are exposing themselves to
the infection, but somehow don't
seem to catch on worth Il cent"
Now, of course we, who are still
young and blooming, can stand
such unkind filings, but we protest
that it is downright inhuman to twit
a fellow whose wrinkled brow is
hoary with the bIighting frosts of
forty winters, with his inability to
enter the blissful state. If we were
Brandon, we would mop up the
pavement with that same cores
pendent. However, there is "hope
in the sweet bye and bye" and he
may yet heap Goals of fire on his
head by going and committing
matrimony.
