Democratic party. They we're in the
thickest of the fight, and when the
victory was lost, they still held aloft
the unstained banner of the Demo
cratic party, refusing always and for
ever to desert the standard of the
party and fly to the camp of the enemy.
They were defeated, but they refused
to disown and dishonor the cause for
which they had fought by going into
the Republican party and adjoining its
principles. These are the men that
have been written down as engaged in
political and speculative law suit. II
is not worth while to call names. We
believe all but one of the attorneys in
this suit voted for Judge Wright.
Their Democracy cannot be questioned
and all the ungracious slurs which
have been thrown at then come with
bad grace from newspapers and indi-
viduals who betrayed and deceived the
people and deserted the platform Of
the party as soon as an opportunity
was offered. These are the men who
believed that platforms were more
than simply tricks to catch votes.
These are the men who nave stood
true to the principles OF the party as
declared in convention, and any al
tempt to belittle them will only iDjure
the parties who make the attempt.

Major John A. Cheatham, formerly
of this county, married in Memphis on
the 18th inst, Mrs. Lottie G.
Cheatham, of Horn Lake, Miss. The
affair was private, only General Frank
Cheatham, of Nashville, brother of the
groom, and few special friends were
present. We drew from the Major,
during visit to our sanctum few
weeks ago, a bit of personal history
which has a tinge Of romance to his
late desperate venture. In the
morn and liquid dew of life" they
had been sweethearts, but his
proverbial modesty restrained
him from popping the question,
and he dritted to Arkansas, and
the war coming on apace, leaving her
to fill her woman's destiny, marriage,
while he pursued the path Of the ap-
parently incorrigible bachelor. Though
their paths and destinies were separat.
ed, an occasional meeting during the
long period between her marriage and
widowhood seems TO have kept alive q
spark Of the early fame, so at the
proper time in her loneliness and
widowhood he sought to comfort hei

the failure of his early life, and at last

promise afterwards, and indeed that

The Managing Editor of Ihe Re-

Who Wanted His Name
Lett Out and Who Gets
His Light Put Ont
Instead.

Special to the Coz rier-J Journal
WASHINGTON, February 9.-There
was bloody fight in the Office Of the
National Republican, of this city, TO-
night. 1t grew out Of feud Of four
years standing. A. NJ. Sotildo, a
we'll known newspaper correspondent,
was managing editor of the Republi-
can four years ago, and through his
influence Clarence M. Barton, the
news editor of the paper, was dis
charged. After Sotildo left the Re-
publican he entered upon the work Of q
correspondent; Barton returned to the
paper and was about a year since
made managing editor Of it. A. short
time ago there was row in bagnio
in this city, the principals in which
were A. M. Sotildo and one James
Keegan, an alleged newspaper man,
but dead beat of the deepest dye.
The row grew out ola supposed insult
which Keegan had offered female
friend Of Sotildo's. Sotildo knocked
Keegan down, and, fguratiysly speak
ing, trampled upon him. Barton, in
the Republican, published the details
of the brawl. To-day he followed it
up with further publication, reflect
ing very seriously upon Sotildo.
In answer to an inquiry as TO what
he intended to do about the Republi-
can publication, Sotildo to-day said:
"They laugh best who laugh last.
| Tonight at 9 o'clock Sotildo, accom-
panied by his brother, A. O. Sotildo,
walked into the Office Of the Republi-
can, aud was shown into Barton's
room. There was in the room with
Barton Frank Conger, son OF Senator
Conger, and business manager OF the
paper. A. M. Sotildo presented 9
statement to Barton, which he wished
to be published in to-morrow's issue
Barton referred him to q. Q. Gorham,
the editor. Then the trouble com
menced. After the exchange Of few
yituperative words A. M. SotildC
Rrasped Barton by the neck. In the
scufie a students lamp, for letter
reading, used by Barton, was knocked
toward Conger. A. @. SotildO, at tho
same time, drewa pistol and presented

AT recent meeting Of the Legisla'
tive Council the nomination OF DR.. H.
B. Thornton for the Presidency Of the
Board of Health, was not confirmed
This was a matter of surprise, and re-
greet to the friends Of the Doctor and to
all who know the value and efficiency Of
his services. 1t would look very like
a serious mistake to put a new and
untried man in the place at this par
ticular iuncture. We arejust rallying
from past epidemics and threatened
somewhat with a smallpox epidemic.
The disease is not an epidemic, but it
is in our midst, and the diligent atten-
ton of the health authorities is re-
quired to prevent its further spread.
DR.. Thornton has an experience that
could not be gained by new incum-
bent in years. He has served as Presi-
dent of the Board of Health through
the most trying times, giving entire
satisfaction and making an enviable
reputation as sanitarian. A
change might prove disas-
trous. We would suggest to
the new members of the Council
that good Health Officer cannot be
made in a day, and that something
more is required than fine attain
ments and high standing in the pro-
fession. Sanitation is a distinctive
branch of the profession, requiring
special study and practice before it
can be successfully applied and en-
forced for the benefit of the general
public. Ifa better. man than DR..
Thornton can be found, we would say
elect him; if not, re elect the Doctor,
and if possible increase his salary to
a living figure, so that he will not be
compelled to keep up his private prac-
tice.

Washinston Post, 7th.I
About one o'clock yesterday those
who we're fortunate enough to be in
the vicinity Of the r1tunda Of the Cap
itol we're favored with an impromptu
concert and vocal test of the acoustics
of the dome. While people were hurry
ing to and fro along the rstunda, there
suddenly broke upon their cars delici.
Gus melody from a thrilling contralto
voice, and all paused, curious to know
from whence the music came. After
a little time they became conscious
Of the fact that some one was
singing in the apex of the dome,
and as the rich familiar air Of
"Suwanee River echoed and rever-
berated through the vast structure all
hustle ceased and the listeners were
held breathlessly spell bound. Though
the singer was elevated hundreds of
feet above their heads, the sorg rem
dered was clearly audible and each
word was as distinct as though deliv-
cred from the stage Of place Of pub
lie amusement, and the echoes were
marvellously perfect, lingering long
after the lips of the singer were
closed. The possesser Of the won
drous voice was a lady member OF a
party ofvisitors. Neitherjher friends
nor the artist himself would furnish
her name nor any fact as to her
identity, except that they came to
Washington on a flying trip of sight
seeing from Baltimore yesterday morn.
ing, The fair singer was heartily APP
plauded, and leit the impression that
# she was not a professional vocalist
there was certainly a fortune in bel
voice.

on the corner Of Main and Madison
streets gave expression we believe to
the sentiments of four-fiths of the
people of Tennessee. 1t was quiet,
orderly gathering of FIVE or six hun.
bred people who came at short notice
to manifest their satisfaction at the
decision rendered by the Supreme
Court in the 1908 case. There was no
excitement no hurrating or intempor
atespeech. 1t was. enough to know that
the sovereignty and dignity of the
State had been preserved, and that the
real custodians Of State credit, the OPP
ponents of the act in question, were
indicated by the highest tribunal Of
the State. The speeches were all in
good taste and spirit, indicating a de
sire to settle the State debt upon a
just and practical basis as soon as
possible. This is the message that
Memphis sends out to the rest Of
the State. A fair and reasonable set
Element will not be resisted or OBJ
structed. Leading business men Of
Memphis who had no interest 10 the
debt question except as taxpayers who
had no speculative interest at stake,
long or short" caused this suit to
be brought in behalf Of the people.
They believed that great wrong was
about to be fastened upon the State
and had the moral courage and the
libsrality to bring the suit and
employ able attorneys. The
movement was ridiculed and
abused and slandered TO an extent
without = parallel in the history o.
Tennessee. The Judge who granted
the injunction was held up as an OBJ
jsct Of scorn and contempt, and the
Judge who, on his own motion, dis
solved the injunction was lauded t
the skies. When the case went up t
the Supreme Court it was still ridi
culed and misrepresented by the higl
tax press, when not engaged in fulsomt
eulogies on that body. But wher
it came to be argued and the law ant
facts in the case were brought out,
became SO evident that the complain
ants had the advantage that the bond
holders began to unload and genera
panic took place. The decision came
as predicted, in favor of the people
the autonomy and the sovereignty @
the State. 1t is a glorious victory 70
the people against a powerful an
reckless combination of capital an
politicians. We need not relic
to this in detail. 1t is enoug
to know that Tennessee has escape
great disgrace and outrage, and tina
neither reputation nor coercion float
its triumphants banner. If the hig
credit elements had made settlemen
in accordance with the pledges of tn
last canvass, it would have stood q
least for years to come. The questio
is open again and We believe tina
many who at first were dispose
to acquiesce in the SO calle
settlement will be glad to al
in a more reasonable and practi
cal adjustment. II the bondholder
and those that seem so ready to d
their bidding will stand back the pee
pie will come together and agree uEo
a proposition that will vindicate tn
honor Of the State without bringin
poverty and ruin. The masses al
right at heart, but will not be il
structed in the principles Of Stat
credit or dictated to by any rio
large or small.

A CONFEOERATE MONUMENT,
A Sound Suggestion and One
That Ought 10 be Adopted.
Nashville Banner, 81

Nashville Banner, 81
Messrs. Oman & Stewart, stone ma
sons, who are now engaged in remov-
ing the old State Bank building, have
conceived the idea that the stone col
umns of the building might be used
in erecting Confederate monument
on a site to be hereafter selected in
the city. The suggestion is a good
one and one which the Banner
hopes to see adopted. 1t would be
singularly appropriate, in the event
such a monument were to be erected,
to have these old columns form a part
of it, for the building from which they
are now about to be removed played
no insignificant part in the struggle of
twenty one years ago. Such struct-
ure is now in course of erection in
New Orleans, to be known as the Lee
Monument. There is no reason why
Nashville, the most prosperous and
the most rapidly growing city in the
South, should not have a similar
obelisk to commemorate a cause for
which so many of Tennessee's gallant
sons yielded up their lives. Since the
suggestion has been made number of
prominent gentlemen have, without
solicitation, expressed willingness to
contribute largely to such an enter.
prise. Messrs. Oman & Stewart men
toned the matter to Mr.. W. II.
Cusack, architect, this morning, and
so favorably did he consider the sug-
gestion that he Immediately went to
work to draw up the plans There
are many ways by which the
columns can be used in the construc-
tion of a monument, and as Messrs.
Oman & Stewart propose to donate
them, they will cost nothing except ia
remove them. They might be erected
to one or group Of our distinguished
| Confederate Generals. The entire
cost Of construction could be raised in
a short time, by volunteer subscrip'
tions. The Banner learns that an ex
Federal soldier has already agreed tC
give 500 to general fund. 1t has
been suggested that a committee b.
at once organized to push the work.
