Hon. JAS. ID. RICHARDSON has
made a record in Congress second to
that of no one-term member in the
House, and every paper in his dis
trict ought to be proud Of him, and
give hearty support to his re-elec-
ton. Such is not the case, however,
as few Of them are antagonizing
him very bitterly. No member from
Tennessee has done more hard, earn
est work for the State during the SEES
sion than Maj. Richardson, and we
hope and believe his district will re-
turn him by an increased majority.
A failure to return him would be a
sad mistake on the part Of the Demo-
Gratis Of the fifth district, and a serious
loss to the Tennessee delegation.

upon our chief executive. In princi.

Democratic party, and if selected as
its standard bearer he would carry it,

THE applicants for Gen. Jackson's
seat in the United States Senate are
about as numerous asthe prominent
men" in Tennessee, and the woods
are full of them. Jackson's term
would have expired the 18th of next
March, consequently our next Legis-
lature, which meets in January, will
have the responsibility of electing a
Senator. Gov. Bate has to appoint a
Senator to fill out Gen. Jackson's I'M
expired term. When it is considered
that Gov. Bate will himself be cam
didate for the position next January,
this appointment now becomes o very
delicate task. Messrs. A. S. Colyar,
A. S. Marks, T. M. Mcconnell, Josiah
Patterson, John F. House, w. G.
Whitthorne, Robt. F. Looney, and a
number of others are being earnestly
pressed by their friends for the APP
pointment from Gov. Bate. We
think it more than probable the light
ming will strike Hon. S. F. Wilson,
of Gallatin. Wilson will be an ardent
supporter of Gov. Bate next January.

New York World: The republican
party bequeathed to its successor a
thoroughly partisan civil service, a
ruined navy, the memory only of a
lost commerce, a public domain that
was fast passing into the hands Of the

est in trans-continental railways
enveloped in the anaconda like grip
of constituencies corporations. The

be righted in a day. Give the de-

THE Senate on Wednesday had up
for discussion again the question of
open executive sessions. The L. $.
Senate is the only legislative body in
the world, with one exception-MeX-

pressure for open executive sessions
is becoming so great that the secret
sessions will doubtless ere long be
discontinued, except perhaps for the
purpose of considering treaties with
other countries.

THE Nashville American, with
characteristic enterprise, has fitted up
a plant at large expense to do its own
illustrating. The process is by photo
engraving on zinc. The American is
the first paper in the South to own
this process and the fourth in Ameri-
ca to operate it. AS this feature of
modern journalism is fast coming
into use, we are glad the American
has taken the lead in establishing its
own plant. In point of enterprise,
and in fact, all the characteristics of a
great newspaper, the American is not
eclipsed by any other journal in the
South.

Rich Western Cities.

has about two hundred and fifty business
houses, counting the cattle companys'
offices, which number sixty six"

900 in that branch of business alone. y

''Do you know it seems to me that
there is not poor person in the whole

She Knew Her Man.

The Boston Rec07I tells this story
Prof. X, an excellent educator and
profound student, who does not spurn
a reasonable share of homely household
duties that falls to the lot of every head
of New England family of moderate
circumstances, was in his den deeply
absorbed in the contemplation of an alb
struse subject, when his wife opened
the door and called softly to him:
my dear, could you help us in our
house cleaning by beating Just three
rugs that you'll find out under the south
window of the parlor2 If you will
please take them out into the back yard,
and beat them and hang them on
the line. and I'll be ever so much
The Professor arose, seized his most
serviceable walking stick, and went out
into the yard, still deeply absorbed in
the learned meditations that had occu
pied him in the house. He took one of
the three rugs from under the parlor
window; transferred it to the back
yard, beat it long and manfully, and
flung it on the line. When he came
back for another rug he was still foo
much absorbed to notice that there were
still three rugs under the window, and
when he had beaten another, and had
hung that out, and had come back
again, and there were still three under
the window, his meditations never
switched off from the subject of their
concentration to the regular and mys-
ferrous renewal of the third rug.
And so he kept on beating those three
rugs and meditating until the morning
wore to midday, and, the Professor be-
gan to grow hungry; md when the
warnings of appetite actually brought
his contemplation down to sublunarv
things, it occurred to him to look at the
clothes line, and there he counted no
less than sixteen rugs, all beautifully
beaten.
