The hanging up of the Blair Educa
tional bill in the Committee on La
Dor is discOuraging to the advocates
of the scheme as to It's prospects.
But even if the committee should
report the bill it would have to run
the gauntlet ofvarious objections not
the least of which is that of the Presi-
dent. Ithas been very generally
rumored that the President would
veto it if passed, but no one is au-
thorized to anticipate the Presidents
action IN the matter, and he is the
last kind of president to be making
declarations in advance Of what
measure he would veto or approve.
nevertheless it is the general under
standing and even by friends of the
Blair bill, that the President IS oppo
sed to it. But If the Committee on
Labor should report 1t, it would

beng croweG and the season being
late, its hopes are quite problemati-
cal. In the House the members
having charge of the appropriation
bills and the tariff bills are opposed
to the Blair Bill. Both Randall and
Morrison are open in their hostility
to 1t, and Carlisle is also believed
to be unfriendly to it. The com
mittee on Education is opposed to it
and hence it was transferred to the
Committee en- Labor, IN whose
hands it is tied up. Mr.. Burnes,
OF Missouri, a member of the House
Education Committee, says that that
Committee considers itself deprived
of jurisdiction Of the Blair Bill, since
a duplicate of the ILL was referred
to the Labor Committee, and that it
is not probably that the Education
Committee will further consider it.

HON. FRANK HURD.

It's claimed that the evidence in
the contested election case of Hon.
Frank Hurd VS.. Romies, in the
House at Washington, showed
clearly that two precincts in his
district was deban ded by money and
intimidation, and with the vote of
these two districts thrown out, Mr..
Hurd had a clear majority. 1t is
further claimed that he was denied
his seat because of his well-known
views upon the tarif-many pro-
tective tariff democrats casting
their vOts against him on that ac-
count. In support of this idea, the
Americans Washington Correspon
dent refers to the fact that every
Pennsylvania democrat, and four
democratic members from Ohio,
who 1t is alleged belong to the Stan
dard Oil Company, voted against
MIR. Hurd. Mr.. Neal, whose district
is composed largely of prOtectiOn
democrats, was the only democratic
member from Tennessee who voted
against Hurd.
These facts certainly give good
grounds for the charge, that Mr..
Hurd was defeated because of his
| pronounced views against a protec-
tive tariff. This shows the impor>
lance of sending to Congress none
but democrats whose views upon
the tariff are in accord with the
Democratic party. We would not
turn round for the difference be-
tween a Republican, and protec-
tive tariff Democrat, and the time
has come for the people to ascertain
the views of candidates for Con-
gress upon this all-impOrtant ques-
ton, Heretofore but little attention
has been paid to this matter in this
! Congress onal District, at least, but
the democrats of this district shOulc
see to it that no protective tariff
democrat represents them in Con
gress.

CONVENTION FOR CHANCELLOR,

CONVENTION FOR CHANCELLOR
On Monday last, the Chairmen Of
the several executive Committees of
Of the Counties composing this
Chancery Division, met in Jack son,
for the purpose Of determining the
question as to whether or not
convention should be held to nom1-
nate a democratic candidate for
Chancellor. All of the counties
were represented. The meeting
was held at the office of Bullock g.
Anderson. Esq. G. H. Anderson
of Hardeman. Was made Chairman
Of the meeting, and E. L. Bullock,
of Madison, Secretary. The gentle
men present were unanimous for a
Convention, and it was determined
that the Convention should be held
in Jackson, OH Monday, the 14th
day of June. An executive Com
mittee for this Chancery Division
was then formed, and Z. II. Ander-
son was made Chairman Of the Com
mittee, and E. L. Bullock, Secretary
The Committee then adjourned
subject to the call Of the Chairman.
The meeting was perfectly harmO-
NOUS, the only difference opinion be-
as to the time and place Of holding
the Convention. We do not know
when we have had the pleasure Of
meeting a more sensible and conser
vative body of gentlemen, and we
feel sure that the interests of the
Democratic party in this Chancery
Division are In safe hands.

The house of Representatives at
Washington has declared that Hon.
Frank Hurd was not elected to a
seat In Congress, and they gave the
scat, for which he was contesting,
to the sitting member. The decis-
sion was, no donbt, correct, but tn e
loss to the country is none the less.
Mr.. Hurd was defeated by organized
capital, because Of his pronounced
free~trade views. He is one Of the
most brilliant Young men in the
United States, and will rise and
come again. lie can not be kept in

The Republicans on the Ways
and Means Com mittee view the CON-
mittees Tariff bill "as the first step
toward reversal of a revenue system
founded by the fathers" The Chlca-
go Times crusmngly reminds them
that 1.-The fathers would have regard
ed our present tariff law, which,
according to a statement made by
the minority, taxes some articles as
much as $50 per cent, as an intolera-
Bile monstrosity. In their first tariff
most duIiable articles were taxed at
the rate u 10 10 per cent, and all
enumerated articles were taxed at
the rate of 5 per cent. The average
was a fraction oyer 8 per cent. The
protectionists have so far abandoned
the system founded by the fathers
that the present taxes on imports
average AZ per cent. American

The appointment, by Gov. Bate,
of Gen. Whitthorne to the seat in
the United States Senate made va
cant by the resignation of Senator
Jackson, gives general satisfaction
to the Democratic party in Tennes-
see, and in the Union. While the
feeling in this section was that the
appointment should come from West
tennessee to fill the unexpired
term Of Mr.. jackson, who was from
West Tennessee, and that Capt.
A. T. McNeal was the most suitable
man for the place, our democrats
are not of the complaining and
kicking kind. and were prepared to
indorse the action of the Governor,
whether their views were reflected
by the appointment or not. The
new Senator is a man of ability, and
has had a large experience as a
member Of Congress, which will
enable him to be of more service to
the people and the party between
this and the end of his term, than
would be an inexperienced MEM
Der, of even greater talent. AS a
member of Congress, and especially
as Chairman of tEe Committee on
Naval affairs, Gen. Whitthorne ac-
CURED a national reputation as a
man of ability, and as fearless in the
discharge of any public duty. In
addition to this, he is true demo-
crat, and is in perfect accord with the
| Democratic party in Tennessee
which is more than could be said Of
his predecessor in office. Mr.. Jack
SON is perhaps the superior of Gen
Whitthorne in point or talent, but he
was not IN line with the people whom
| he represented, and his usefulness
as Senator, was, thereby, IN {
great measure, destroyed. Witt
Harris and Whitthorne IN the Sen.
ate the people OF Tennessee will be
ably and fairly represented.

JOHN 4. PITTS.

The name of Mr.. John A. Pitts,
Of jackson, has been frequently
mentioned in connection with a place
on the Supreme Bench ofthis State.
This gentleman has enjoyed the lar
gest country practice OF any lawyer
in Tennessee for the last II or Is
years, and we know Of no lawyer in
this state who is more deserving Of
it. We know him first as student
at the Lebanan Law School in 1870,
where he stood in the front rank as
pupil. He is one of the most learn
ed lawyer of our acquaintance, is
young, and energetic. We need just
such men as he IS ON our Supreme
Bench. He is not an asplrant but
his friends are determined to bring
HIM forward. He is the hardest

the Nashville Christian Advocate,
has recently paid the country ad-
iacent to Carrolton, Miss, a visit,
and made it point to enquire into
the causes which led to the lamenta~
bic affair which occurred at that
place short time ago. He learn
ed that whole affair originated
from whiskey, and that politics had
nothing to do with it. The people
there regret it very much, and the
District Attorney informed him that
he was doing all III his power to
bring the guilty parties to justice.
We had the pleasure of meeting DR..

I had seen it oft, this old grey stone
Thst lay meath the broad spreading willow,

The grass was my couch, and it my pillow.

When the wind seemed whistling low sad song
Through the graceful boughs of the dear cid
tree.

Whose scattered locks were of silyery grey,
His step was slow, and he bent his head
And sighed, Is ne slowly walked that way.
He stood for moment over the grave,
And brushed tear from his withered cheeks
Then sat him down on his faysrite stone,
And raised his head as if to speak.

But none would eau me friend or brother;
Or il they did, twas bu for a while,
Tomorrow they'd bless and love another.

We wandered all night in the rasin storm,
And rested at last meath this willow tree.

When Rosa wept mournfully on my breast,
Like a flower she dropped her gentle head
And 1T last her sweet spirit sank to rest.

We had never left the ship before,
But do remember its cruel men,
This Captains loud voice, and the oaths he

A lady who taught US to pray to God,
And told OF Jesus who saYed mankind.

are being champIoEed by individual

Whenever that is the case, much
hasty, and illadvised legislation Is
sure to be the result. We are hav-
