These are the words Of an honest
Democratic statesman. They are in
stinct with the very spirit of liberty.

cause "it conferred benefits upon all
classes" It is in this spirit and for
the same reasons that James Phelan
advocates Federal aid to education,
and all the people say "amen." Let
us multiply our schoolhouses on
every hill and in every valley
in Tennessee. Let Us, as the people
Of the great and prosperous West
always do, make the schoolhouss the
public shrine to which the children
of the State shall go every day for
fresh inspirations for love OF country
and fidelity to the State and National
Governments, Let us do this, as
Senator George, the man who released
Mississippi from Radical thraldom,
says, because it will "confer benefits
upon all classes and colors of citi.
zens." Let US have Federal aid to
education that we may be a more in
telligent and therefore hsppier and
more prosperous people. o

ESTABLISHED 1910.

SINCE the day when Lamar made
his great speech of Cancellation and
reconciliation, standing almost in
view of the body of the dead Sumner,
he has always been hearty and out
spoken advocate of utter oblivion as
10 the war, its passions and its re-
pressive legislation. Today he speaks
out in the same key. He refuses 10
revoke the commission he conferred
upon Maj. Wsggeper, of East Ton
nessee, as Pension Agent of that dis
trict. He refuses to punish him for q
vote cast IS a member of the Legisla-
ture Of this State, even though it was
cast to disfranchile the "rebels." And
in this Secretary Lamar is right. TIA
contrary policy was enforced tho
South would become very hell upon
sarth and we should find ourselves,
one and all. parties to great public
vendetta, wreaking vengeance one
upon the other as the success OF par
ties made such vengeance possible.
Peace is essential to public prosperity,
and to enjoy peacs we must forgive as
we hope to be forgiven. Lamar is
right. Waggener is every way well
qualified for the office of Pension
Agent, and we are glad that the Sec
rotary Of the Interior has determined
to keep him in it. We thank Secre-
tary Lamar for another lesson in for
bearsnce and patriotism. He sinks
the past under the public service.

Mr.. Parks is a successful lawyer of

SECRET SESSIONS OF CONGRESS.

Senator Platt, of Connecticut, opened
the debate upon secret sessions with a
very forcible and conclusive argument.
There is really nothing to urge in reply
but precedent and the feelings OF those
who are nominated. But the Senator
showed that there wal always a feeling
that secret sessions were unwise, and that
there has been a constant disregard OF
the rule requiring secrecy. He reaf-
irmed Senator Sherman's remark that in
a Government like ours there should be
no secrets, and declared that there was a
general public demand that the doors
shall be opened.
Privilege and prerogative, said Mr..
Platt, as well as patronage and perqui-
sites, are words that should have no sig.
niGcance here, and reform is fatally in
effective until they disappear from
familiar use. The Senator is unquestion-
ably correct. They are words describing
tniuRS WulCu OCASuS w "AN
class Governments, and which have no
rightful place under popular institutions.
The natural tendency of every great
official body in the State, like the Sen.
ate, remarks Harper's Weekly, is to grasp
and extend power. and it is a tendency
which can be withstood efectually only
by a r~esolute and intelligent public opin.
ion.
We shall see with regret distinguished
Senators opposing the change contem.
plated by Senator Platt's resolution.
The country has a right to know both
those who recommend persons for ap-
pointment to the public service and the
reasons for their rejection. The prac.
tical unanimity of the press in favor of
opening the doors, to which Senator
Platt alluded, is a very significant fact.
1t shows that the moment the question
was asked, the instructive reply was that
secret sessions are a tradition without
reason. They are not justified by the
common.sense of the people to-day, and
therefore they will be abolished.

THE RAILWAYS AND TIE RE-
PUBLIC.

One OF the most important, timely'
and significant of recent works IS Inc
Railways and the Republic, by James r.
Hudson, just published by the Harpers.
1t appears at q moment when universal
attention is directed to the subject,
which is treated in the work with a
f~ullness OF information, a courage, IN
sight, and sagacity, which are sure to at
tract general attention. The introduce
tory chapter upon Railway Domination
is a strong statement of the situation,
which the author holds to require deci'
siye remedies. The blessings produced
by railways are so familiar and so con-
stantly celebrated that he justly thinks
the time to have arrived for a careful
and comprehensive presentation OF the
public dangers which they have also
developed. If it should appear that a
vast multitude Of abuses OF every kind,
threatening private property and equal
public rights, and legislative corruption
and even the courts of law, have accom-
panied the growth Of this vast power, 1t
is a question Of vital Importance whether
these are necessary results OF that
growth, and how the public welfare is to
be defended against them.
With complete knowledge and tamili-
arity with details, the work describes In
an exceedingly interesting and inteiilgi-
BILE manner the abuses which have sprung
from railway domination. 1t tells with
graphic skill the tale of the tyranny OF
great corporations, tracing the course OF
legislation and judicial Interpretation,
exposing clearly the scope OF the pooling
policy, the course of competition and
combination, and so proceeding to the
discussion of remedies. The public well
fare demands, not lower railway charges
nor legislative tariffs, but "the enforce.
ment of the principle that all persons
have equal rights, and that all the serv-
ices Of the railways shall be performed
with impartiality, and at charges based
on the same standard OF cost"
The usual arguments for non-interier-
ence are stated with entire candor, and
answered simply and clearly. The rail.
way corporations must be subordinated
to the will of the people. The power as
now exercised the author believes to be a
standing peril to popular integrity and
Republican freedom, because it is per-
v~erting the machinery OF government
from being an agency of the people, and
making it an agency of the corporations.
"The only effective reform is to destroy
the cause out Of which all the evils OF
the system spring. by taking away the
monopoly of the railways, and making
them public highways in fact as well as
in name" The work is a striking and
valuable contribution to the discussion OF
a question which daily becomes more i'm
portant, and which cannot be set aside.

A Washington correspondent says that
Manning. like every Secretary Of the
Treasury, is the victim of sewer gas in
the Treasury building. Congress has
time and time again been asked to APP
propriate enough to remedy this evil, but
has uniformly neglected it. Congress
prefers to spend its money on the funer.
ais of deceased statesmen. To remedy
the trouble might diminish the number of
funerals.
