Fellow-citzens, the great and vital princi-
pie OF government involved in the last cleo
lion is that the people are the source OF all
power, and that the representatives of the
people should carry out and execute their
will in all matters of legislation The lac;
General Assembly trampled under foot this
sacred principle. They knew that they were
not executing the will OF the people OF Ten
nessee. The Wall street bondholders and the
representatives who voted for the one-hun-
dred -andthree bill knew that they were do
ing it 10 defiance OF the will of the people.
lApplsusel. They put the coupon feature
IN that act because they knew that they were
insulting the people when they did il, and in
order 10 bind them to legislation which fhey
knew they would not submit TO il they could
helpIt
Ihe little dollars and cents referred to by
the gentleman who last addressed you is a
very small matter compared with this great
principle. l, for one, would have been will
ling 10 have seen the debt settled al a higher
figure than that named in the Bate platform:
but il is not my will that am 10 execute,
but the will OF the sovereign people of Ten
nessee: We were divided upon this ques-
tion, and we harmonized upon it. We
referred 1t 10 the people, aud the people have
voiced their will, and in response to what
the Hon. Isham G. Harris said to night, |
feel like l am authorized on behalf OF the
Democrats, who compose a large majority Of
the present General Assembly, TO say that
we will sincerely, faithfully and honestly
execute that platform to the dot IApplause.1
More than that, fellow -citizens, we don't
propose in this Legislature to give any man
free rides over the railroads. We don't
want railroads, or any other corporation, to
perform services for the people and moi be
paid just compensation for il. We will be
as just to them as we will be Just to all men;
but representing the people as we do, and
with the people at our backs as they are, we
do not intend for them 10 be controlled, for
them to De wronged or injured, either by
corporations or monopolies..
The truth OF the msIter IL, we have got
back here, in this General Assembly, TO the
original idea of democratic government, and
that is the supremacy OF the people That
is the fundamental rock upon which all our
acts rests, and il is there that this General
Assembly will plant its foot, and from that
standpoint they will legislate, and they mean
and intend in good faith and honesty 10 ex-
ecute the will Of the people. 10 returning
the Hon. Isham G. Harris to the United
States Senate We have obeyed the will of the
people OF Tennessee. In settling the State
debt on the Bate platform we will obey the
will OF the people OF the State Of Tennessee.
In regulating the railroads of the State we
will obey the will of the people of the State
of Tennessee. Their will, and not OUR, be

The Corn Orop.


How the corn does love to ache lust
after the shoe is removed. 1t seems
then to take fresh start and to rejoice
in renewal of its youth and strength
What is a revolution in France or a
general war in Europe to man with
an active cornp
No man can be truly pious or devotion
al with an energetic corn. Nor woman.
In point of pain it spares neither age
nor sex.
There is more misery concentrated
in corn than in anything of its kind
extant. 1t reminds the man of its
presence from the rising of the sun to
the going down thereof. 1t involves
more positive agony than dozen quiet
deaths. 1t makes no noise. 1t lets its
victim make all the noise for it. 1t de-
stroys capacity for study and all con-
tinuity of thought Corns when in
dulged in by poets have spoiled poems
which might have thrilled the world.
Nominister with a lively corn can preach
perfect love-" A corn seems to do
business at either end. That is, the end
that is inserted twinges while the outer
end aches. A corn converts Hercules
or an Apollo into an awkward, linger-
ing, hating cripple 1t causes him to
halt fearfully on street curbs ere he at
tempts crossing, when before he plunged
fearlessly into the maze of vehicles and
was quickly over. 1t is continually
sending through him mental twinges OF
anxiety lest some one step upon it. 1t
turns a mans whole thought from the
contemplation of the beauties of nature
and the grandeur of the universe to the
remembrance of its abominable self.
| 1t changes the beatific expression of his
countenance to one of querulousness
and anxiety. Yet there is no more
sympathy for corn, or rather for the
person attacked by the corn than there
| is for the toothache or seasickness.
That is because it is supposed the corn
kills nobody. Yet if it did kill the
| greater would be the mercy. A corn
cannot agonize dead man or woman.
Dead peoples corns do not ache. So
long as one is alive and able to suffer,
so long no one much cares. When we
are dead and out of pain and the wicked
corn ceaseth from troubling and the
| weary toe is at rest, why then our friends
set up their boohoo! and spend for
HOWeTS 10 put On our Coluu lHe luoHey
| that so much, when alive, we needed for
oyster fries.
A corn is really wicked demon in
| carnated in bit of callous skin. Its
mission is to distress and agonize hui
| mainly and to increase wickedness.
Corns are really lost souls and evil
spirits allowed thus to return and in this
guise to afflict US. You look upon 8
corn and regard it as bit of half dead
skin. But within there lives a wicked,
| glowing, incandescent spirit, with nc
other impulse but to affiict, and with
poisoned fangs, hot pincherS and RED
hot knitting needles to do so.-Neu
