Senator Henry Cooper of this
State was way-laid and killed by.
robbers near that place, that day.
Ex-senator Cooper lived at Column

there. He WAS a native of Maury
county and has lived in Bedford
county, in Lebanon and in Nash

professor in the Cumberland uii-

member of the State legislature and
served one term in the Unit Il

A FAM SPECIMEN.

The Nashville Banner, which was
the pronouRced and official organ of
the state debt PERFORMERS" is the
most careful and reasonable organ
of that glOriOusly whipped party
in Tennessee. The GAINESVILLE
Chronicle, and the Lebanon Herald,
and several other ADVANTAGEOUS,
twO-for-a- nickel country weeklies
in the State, would do well to either
come back into the Democratic fold
or go boldly over to the Republi-
cans. This sOured, halfway bust
ness is growing I'm
ION city Anchor.
We should not deem the above
paragraph worthy Of attention ex-
cept that it illustrates the spirit of
certain class OF newspapers in
Tennessee whose style the Anchor
affects. To show the.truth and fair
ness that characterlzes this utter
ance it is only necessary to state a
few facts, and, we may add, all
similar editorials, are inspired by
the same exalted motive that
brought this one into being.
The present editor of the CHRoN-
IcLE, as everybody familiar with
the paper should know, supported
Bate for Governor in the last State
campaign and nothing he has ever
written has been out of accord with
the Bate platform. If we are cor
rectly informed, the editor of the
Anchor WAS a citizen of Kentucky
in 1882, and has only resided in
Tennessee during the past year.
That Immediately ON being "im-
ported" he begun to boil over with
Indignation against the defunct
''sky blue" cause, may possibly be
ascribed to the fact that the rival
paper in Union City supported Fus-
sell for Governor.
The Anchor, and more important
papers whose style it copies, should
know that the key note of the Bate
was Democratic harmo-
ny, and these organs that seek, for
selfish motives, to keep alive the
strife in the party are sadly out of
accord with the spirit of the June
C convention of 1882.

WENDELL PHILLIPS.

The men who figured SO conspicu-
Ously in the public affairs of this
country before the war and whose
lives are so interviewer with the
history of those times are rapidly
passing away.
Wendell Phillips died at 6.15
O'Clock Saturday evening in the
73d year of his age. He was one of
the original agitators of the aboli-
ton movement, a man of great force
of character and possessed of superb
or talent as an orator. In his SYM
pathy for the slave he suffered him.
self to be carried into an extreme
hatred of the slave holder and he
said many bitter and unjust things
about the Southern people. 1t is
difficult for a representative South
erner to review his life without
feeling of resentment, but no can
did person could deny his sincerity
of character or impeach the purity
of the motives that inspired him
with so much zeal. In him, as is
often the case with great reformers,
this zeal did not stop short of ma
Lightly, and the abuse he heaped
upon the South very naturally stir
red up bitter feelings towards him
in this section. But still there is no
intelligent Southerner to-day who
Is not prepared to accord to him the
eminent place in history he de-
serves.
Mr.. Phillips feelings for the
South seemed to have been much
softened of late years. He was in
vited some time ago to address the
Cotton Planters Association, at
Vicksburg, and he has been among
the first to read the future greatness
of the South in the signs of the
times. In speech before the Bos-
ton Manufacturers Association, de-
livered a few months ago. he said:
"As the South grows stronger and

VIII y. KEENAN,.


We have received a copy OF the
Sunday Free-Lance, a new paper
started i'm Leavenworth, Kansas,
with Will III. Herman as editor. Il
ID filed with the
Outrageously
Radical
Sentiments with witch Herman
always touches up his
Stirring and
Singing
Stacatoes.
Kernan's fame in this section is
simply that which attaches to the
memory of the Oklahoma States, and
that is not a very enviable one. He
is generally regarded as a fiery
crank, or What is worse, de-
signing sensationalist. We know
Herman personally, and we appre-
ciate the friendship that he has
manifested towards US. We know
him to be man of unusual talent.
His command of invective is un-
surpassed and he has written poetry
that will long survive his political
record. Herman is radical by ma
ture. His ideas are all ultra and
he lives in spirit OF opposition to
established law and fixed institu-
tions as a fish lives in water. To
make sober and sensible citizen
out of him after our own model
would be simply to make him a
worthless nonentity, il it were pos
sible to change him at all. Esti-
mating his character and abilities
as we do, we want to give him some
friendly advice that we think he
will do well to follow. We don't
wish to be understood as having
any admiration or sympathy for
the course we ADVISE, but ii is the
only way Herman can make sue
cess of life. We believe, he can sue
coed in that way beyond what he
has ever hoped for.
Herman should go to New York
and start socialist newspaper. He
could make worldwide reputa-
ton in six months He would prob
ably be more hated and abused than
any man living, but that is what he
would delight in, and he could
"cuss back" with a commanding
mastery of the art that would great
ly increase his fame. He will new
er do anything at his kind Of writ
ing in the small towns and provin-
cial cities out West. Well ordered
communities where the conservative
law abiding element is in the ascen-
cy are never going to tolerate him.
He should go to a metropolis where
he can speak to the world at large.
We repeat that Kernan's ideas
and style are very foreign and even
to our nature, but on ac-
count of the friendly personal inter-
est we feel in this hayward repro
bate out of whom there is no chance
to make anything good or stable,
we offer him the above suggestion.
