TENNESSEE, notwithstanding the
lugubrious howls Of the protection
organs, secured three chairmanships
in the Carlisle lottery. All three are
important committees. Warner, OF
Lewisburg, is placed at the head OF
the Committee on Mines and Mining.
Casey Young is set down for the head
Of the Committee on Expenditure for
the Interior Department. Mcmillan
is at the head Of the Committee on
Claims, the same position once held
BY the Hon. John M. Bright, This is
a we'll bestowed tribute to their hons
orable service in the House and TO the
State Of TeDnesse. II NashvilleWorld.
These are not very important CONS
mittees. They conduct for the most
part mere routine business which
has very little to do with the shaping
Of legislation, Still these chairman.
ships are honorable positions, and
we'll deserved by the gentlemen
named, and we are glad that Tennes-
see has this distinction and represen,
tAtion. When Mr.. Randall was
Speaker the last time he appointed
Adlai Z Stevenson to the place now
given to Mr.. Warner; Nicholas Null.
Ter, Of New York, to the place now
given to Mr.. Young, and John M.
Bright to the place now assigned to
Mr.. Mcmillan. This last is by far
the most important Craftsmanship Of
the three.

MEMPHIS gol through Christmas
without any one being killed or seri-
ously hurt. This is fortunate and
surprising when we take into account
the casualties Of other places There
was the utmost latitude allowed, oil
which very few seemed inclined to take
any advantage. Public sentiment i.
often stronger than written law
10 fact is law itself. The law that
respects the rights Of person or prop.
erty was we'll understood and observed
in Memphis on Christmas day, al.
though the fun was carried to the verge
Of safety and propriety. We read Of
many serious accidents and cold
bloOded murders conceived and
brought forth in whisky in other
places. The Memphis boys, old and
young, although in a rollicking mood,
were on their good behavior and &C.
quilted themselves with decency, pro-
priety and credit.

The Country Editor,
Atlanta Constitution.


The country editor has q hard roaC
to travel. He is reporter, book
keeper, mechanical superintendent
business manager, collector, mailing
machine and soliciting agent of the
establishment. His work is hard, his
receipts small ard his creditors nu'
merous In a small town an editor
has to steer his course so as to avoid
giving offense to different circles Of
society, the religious denominations
the business community and the rural
population. If an influential old
farmer wants a three column notice Of
his new barn it must appear or the
editor may lose hundred subscribers
Patchwork quilts, big beets and phen
omenal eggs also clamor for space il
the columns OF the country paper. In
the course Of time the rural scribe
becomes either jooose or mOrose, bul
10 either frame Of mind he continues
to make friends who demand free adj
vertising and enemies who WORK
against him.
The country editor is always gottinl
ready to abandon journalism for some
thing else, but he rarely carries on
his threat. He generally dies in har
ness. 10 some wild communities edi
tors occasionally meet With rougl
treatment Sometimes they are driver
out OF the county, aud when Othel
methods of getting rid of them fai
they are sent to the Legislature. Thu
city editor gets a good deal of fun ou
Of the country editors work, but the
man who bears the burden regards il
as a serious business. And in thu
best sense it is serious. The little
local weeklies scatterd all over the
country are in their way potentia
factors Of civilization. They develop
their Localities, bring their resources
before the public and in a mannel
educate their readers. They are
always on the side OF the churches
the schools, progress and reform
Men who live aud die working fo
such objects are public benefactor
and deserve a substantial reward.

MADAME Modjeska is not only
gifted and highly culture ! as an artist,
but is charming and unaffected lady
in private life. She is a devoted wife
and mother, a real sensible, sweet
good woman, whose head has not been
turned by success and the hattery OIL
the world. During her stay here she
spent a quiet afternoon with her
friend Mrs Col. A.J.Kellar. The Col
being absent until late, it was purely
a ladies affair. Miss Kate Thompson,
and few ether special friends, were
present, and all were delighted with
the sociability, the frankness Of ex.
preston, and the goodness in word
and manner Of the fair actress. She
is yet comparatively young, as we'll
as very handsome, and talks ireel :, il
is said, Of settling down on her hus'
bands rancho in California,
where they have spent SO many
happy days. Her idea is to preserve
life in its freshness and buoyancy and
usefulness Those who know hel
best hope and believe she will succeed
far beyond the limits OF those who
rush through the world, constantly
seeking its feverish excitements, with.
out taking the mental and physica
rest and recreation that nature re.
quires. These thoughts are suggested
by one Of the ladies who was at Mrs
Kellar's quiet little dinner party yes
terday afternoon, and whose best
wishes will follow Madame Modjeski
in all her travels, aud to her distant
home on the shores Of the Pacific.

IHE brutaltreatment Lolita received
at the hands Of lot Of claquers 10 a
London theater few evenings since,
is shame and disgrace and should be
resented by all decent people, Ameri-
cans especially, who are in a position
to do so. She is bright, sweet little
woman, who seeks to amuse and please
the public without aspiring or pre-
tending to be a great actress. The
better elements Of society, to their
credit be it said, we're generous Of APP
plause but could not drown the
noise or repress the clsmor Of the mob.
The cause for such disgraceful DEM
onstration cannot we'll he understood
at this distance. 1t probably had
some foundation in English prejudice
against everything American, and was
further aged on by some rival
actress or management Americans
are snubbed in and out Of season when
they 60 to London, and yet their silly
ambition is to run after and ape the
English people. Members Of various
professions feel this and know it.
General Pryor recently got a sniff Of
the same breeze. Mary Anderson
was treated very coOlly at FIRST
and the critics we're exceedingly
chary Of praise. But her supe.
rior genius and presence, and the sup
port Of the upper classes finally car
ried everything by storm, and John
Bull, for once, became as enthusiastic
ss an American on theFourth Of July
although from quite a different cause.
In this country it is the fashion to &c
wild over any and all the cast,of ce
lebrities Of England that come Ovei
here to replenish their purses. SCI
how Oscar Wilde and Langtry wer,
received, and many others who hav,
no merits as actors, lecturers or au
thors. tits time the American peOpl
we're learning some sense and discre
ton il such matters, and +
understand that the gushing style o
taking on over all foreigners Of an.
