Political Pull

Is a rather uncertain thing to depend
upon as basis for obtaining the nee
essaries of life. With the frequent
changes of party somebody is sure to
get left, so that on the whole any man
Of brains and ability is really fortunate
if, by missing fat public job, he is
compelled to take up some such bust
ness az agency for DR.. Foote'S "Plain
Home Talk" which is sure to be good
paying business as long as he will de-
vote himself to il. A really popular
medical book such as "Plain Home
Talk sells at all times and in all places
and often the best ground for agency is
that which has already been plowed
over once or twice by an agent. There
is room for all who will apply to the
Murray Hill Publishing Co., l29 Fast
18th St., N. Y. City, and first come,
first served ;"

A Miserable BOtch.

The redistricting bill as finally
pass is a miserable botch and can
not be complied with. 1t gives but
one week in which to try both the
criminal and civil dockets in Giles.
Ii gives six weeks to Maury in Jan
uary, nine in May and six in Sep
TENDER. The chancellor of this dis
trict could not make his circuit if
he had no courts to hold. He
would be continually riding and
could rarely get to place in time
to start for the next. At the Sep
TENDER term in Giles the chancellor
has only three days to hold court
and travel the 80 or q 100 miles to
Lewis where he must open court
the next Thursday, and must
thence on to Perry the next Mon
day. The chancellor cannot posi-
bly, hold court here at all if he goes
to the other counties, and he can
not hold court in either of those if
he goes to the next appointment,
thus keeping him continually flying
and no time to light. He must
also open his court in Giles and in
Hickman on the same day in Sep
TENDER. We could go on and pick
out numerous outrageous bOtches,
but it is not necessary. Our repre-
sentatives voted against it. We
presume there is no way to avoid it.

Aha! Did you notice both our
representatives voted with the re-
publicans? That's the way the
news was received and the readi-
ness with which ignorance criticizes
and condemns without a hearing.
Rivers and Sanders did vote with
the republicans-Rivers once-but
it was on a question of parliamenta-
ry law. 1t did not touch upon any
question nf import nor affect in the
slightest any legislation. 1t was
simply a question of order. Must
Mr.. Rivers violate his conscience
and his idea of right and stultify
himself just to,be with his party? If
it had been a matter that affected
legislation it would have been differ
emit, but we submit that it is unfair
and unjust to criticise an act that
had absolutely no effect nor pOliti
cal significance.

The redistricting bill as finally
passed is said to be a fearful botch,
sometimes requiring judges to be in
two places at once. The 9th judi
cial circuit comprises Maury, Giles,
Lawrence, Wayne, Hardin, Lewis
and Hickman. The 7th chancery
division comprises Maury, Giles,
Lawrence, Lewis, Wayne, Hickman,
Hardin, Perry, Decatur, Dickson and
Benton. The circuit court is to be
held in,Giles the fourth Mondays In
March, July and November, and the
chancery court.the. third Monday in
February and the first Monday in
September. That section which
made the circuit Judge the chancel-
lor was stricken out. The judges
are to be elected in August of next
year and the act go into operation
Sept. 1.

The Lebanon Herald discredits
and denies that Hon. Frank Wilson
is being groomed for the supreme
bench in nearly a column of care
fullest groom. The CITIZEN recog-
nlzes in Frank Wilson, what it once
denied, a whole-souled, able, bril-
liant, generous gentleman, but we
do not think that the supreme
bench should be painted as red
with politics as his election would
mean. We imagine also that Mr..
Wilson will agree with the CITIZEN
that a man of his Ted-hot political
temperament should not be laid up
on such a cheap shelf. If Frank
Wilson will cut loose from dema-
gogs, there are better things he
might get.

The Ohio republican platform
adopted last week is a series of
ld-blooded, villainous ISLANDERS of
democrats and the southern people.
Nine-tenths of ;theImen who voted
for the platform, we venture, never
rose higher than a sutlership in the
army, and if they ever came within
range of the gentlemen they now
Islander we'll bet they ran like the
cowardly dogs they are. The
brave fighting men at the north are
glad the war is over. How miserably
and pitiably little these fellows and
how futile their wrath! They've
been cut off from their chances to
steal and rob the government and
the people, and they naturally de-
spise decency and honesty.

There is now running in the east
a thoroughbred horse named Sam
Brown, bred by E. H. Douglas, of
Williamson county, whose sire was
the old stallion Gen Rousseau,
we'll known in this county, and his
dam Bonanza, by Imp Bonny Scot
land. The horse for two or three
wears has been hacked around over
the country, until purchased by his
present owner at something like a
low price for a saddle horse. This
wear it seems to be almost an i'm
possibility to beat him. He can
stay over a distance, carry heavy
weight, and go as fast as any of
them. Bonanza was probably the
only really first class mare ever
bred to Gen. Rousseau. Sam
Browns winnings this year are al
ready considerable.

Rivers and Sanders Pro test.

Representatives Rivers and San
ders voted for the bill authorizing
the funding board to borrow money,
but entertaining the exact views as
expressed in the CITIZEN last week,
they offered the following explana-
ton:
Mr.. Speaker-On the passage of
senate bill No. u, authorizing Dor
rowing of money for the purpose,
we vote aye with full con
seriousness of the amount of assur
ance required for the state of Ten
nessee, in the impaired condition of
her financial credit, to go into the
money markets of the world as a
borrower, but we have the hope, as
it is expressed by members of the
funding board, that the presentation
of the old bonds for funding will be
so slow that the collection of incom-
ing taxes will obviate the necessity
OF borrowing. We desire to enter
our protest against:
l. The evil principle of borrow
ing money.
2. The feature of the bill which
allows the funding board to borrow
money without fixing any definite
limit in dollars and cents.
The urgent exlgency of the time
demands immediate action, and to
pass this bill seems at present the
only best thing possible to be done.

ZEN from a distinguished gentle
man at Lebanon has the follow
ing perditious
P. S.-(Unofficial)-May 1 express
the hope that the sojourn of our dear
brother Williams among the pagans of
Pulaski will result in great good-and
that you will share in the general out
pouring? If Brother Williams gets a
fair chance at your town, there won't
be enough depravity left in it to start
an ordinary fish story. He is an evan
gelist "from the headwaters of Bitter

sinners had just as well emulate Capt.

For fifty years a public servant
in various stations of responsible
and exalted trust in the state and
national councils, he was honest,
capable and faithful; and notably
illustrated, by precept and example,
the excellence of republican insti-
buttons and the wisdom of popular
government.
He was upright and irreproacha-
BILE in his private dealings and ami
able in intercourse with his fellow
men, and his useful life was ended
in peace and perfect honor.

st. Louis Post-Dispatch: One
reason why the Ohio republican
platform seems so thin is because
it tries to stretch itself over the
whole field of national politics. You
cannot get the republicans of Ohio
together and make them believe
that they are not holding national
convention.

The appearance Of Represents tive

The appearance of Representative
Sanders name in the list OF
absent members, given by S peak
er Manson to the sergeant-at- arms,
does injustice to one of the most
faithful representatives in the gen
eral assembly, and one who was
most constant in his attend
ance. Mr.. Sanders was not absent
at the time and never sought to
avoid any duty. In the house he
could always be found in his seat,
and while never making himself
conspicuous by taking the floor
upon every trivial question, he was
ever watchful of the interests of
the state and prompt to take action
when he believed it necessary.
