ATOR.
Our dispatches from Nashville an
nounce the appointment OF Gen.
Washington Curran Whitthorne Of
Columbia United States Senator to
al the place made vacant by the
resignation Of the Hon. Howell E.
Jackson. The special dispatch from
Nashville published in yesterdays
APPEAL foreshadowed the appoint
ment Of Gen. Whitthorne. Indeed,
tbs tone OF the dispatch plainly in
dicated that our correspondent was in
possession OF the fact that Gov. Bate
had selected Gen. Whitthorne, but
YVES no. at libCr,y to speak by autho.i-
ty. Gen. W. @. Whitthorne was born
in Marshall county, Tenn, April 10,
1926, and is therefore just sixty.one
yesr Of age. He graduated at the
East Tennessee University at Knox
vile in lS43 and Immediately COM
menCed the study Of law and prac-
ticed with great success, He was a
member Of the State Senate in 1856,
1856, 1867 and 1855; was elected in
1859 TO the lower house OF the Gen.
eral Assembly Of Tennessee and was
made presiding officer thereof; was
upon the Breckenridge electoral ticket
for the State at large in 1850; was AS
sistant Adjutant- General in the Pro-
visional Army oiTennesseein 1861 and
was aiterward Adjutant.G General of the
State, which position he held under
Gov Harris until the close of the
civil war; his disabilities were re-
moved by act OF Congress approved
July, 1870; was elected to the Forty
second, Fol ty-third, Forty-iourth and
Forty-6ith Congress, aud was re-
elected TO the Forty-sixth Congress as
a Democrat, receiving 659l votes
against 1913 votes for Hughes, Repub-
hcan, and 5593 votes for Moore,
Democrat. In 1884 Gen. Whitthorne
was candidate for reelection to the
seat he had so long and ably filed in the
House Of Representatives. While he
was the strongest man in the nominal
Ing convention he was not able to So
cure the requisite two-thirds majority,
and after several days balloting and
an adjournment for two weeks the
convention again convened and nom
mated the Hon. james d. Richardson
Of Rutherford county, and as a conse-
quancs Gen. Whittkorne has not been
= member of Congress since the 4th OF
March, 1886, He made national
reputation while in Congress. As
chairman Of the Committee on Naval
Affairs he developed great abili.
ties and untiring energy.
His exposure Of Robe sons
eorrHptlons as Secretary OF the Navy
attracted the attention of the whole
country, He made himself so fami-
iay with naval affairs that he was
strongly recommended for the posi-
ton Of Secretary Of the Navy In
Oleveland's Cabinet. Gen. Whit.
thorne has always been true aud re.
liable Democrat, and his appointment
a. United States Senator will meet
with popular favor in all sections Of
the State. His record, both private
and public, is clean, and his short
career in the Senate will be fitting
climax to long, useful and brilliant
life spent in the public service.

Business Common Sense.
Dry Goods hronicle.

l1N AO,hlS HIbnltiti
 It does seem as if there was less busi- ness common sense brought to bear upon the problem of extending Amcri- can trade to other countries than in any other matter in which this country is interested
 In developing the trade of our own great country, we know that quick and frequent communication is the first requisite; that the mails must be carried over the sparsely settled parts of the country regularly, even if the postage on many routes does not pay the eX pense; that when one business center "reaches out for the business of q cer tain territory by furnishing quicker com munication or lower rates, competing centers must do the same or lose the trade; that trunk lines build up thelr respective termini, and the great prob lem in trade is to get the business started your way, even if it costs something to do it, after which the natural increase may be relied on to reduce the percent age of cost and in time pay profit.
 Now, the foreign trade i> governed by the same rules Steam and electricity have made the world one vast market open to lHc HldHttldCihIfIS 'l dil tue world on equal terms, but those which can reach it the quickest and most ire quently will get the bulk of the trade. When merchant sees a competitor get ting the best of him he finds out where his competitors facilities are superior to his own, and meets them with equal Improvements, but the government of the United States refuses to sustain its steamship lines to even the extent which third and fourth-rate nations sustain theirs and while expending millions of dollars on mail routes on land which do not pay expenses, refuses to apply the same principle to commerce on the sea. Private citizens have patriotically cn- deavored to restore the American flag to the proud place it once occupied on the ocean, but have gone down before the competition of foreigners who were backed by their governments Even now such efforts are being made, nota- ply by the American line to south Amer ica, but it seems to meet with but little encouragement from the United States government, and il is not improbable that it will go down a. its predecessors have done before the unequal competi- ton of foreign lines that are sustained by adequate pay for carrying the mails If it does, it will be d long time before another set of men sufficiently patriotic and enterprising will be found to again put capital and effort into establishing American steamship lines
