OUR SENATOR.

The Republican Senatorial Con-
vention, which met at Loudon on
the 18th inst. Qast Wednesday,,
nominated G. B. French, of Kings
ton. There were FIVE gentlemen
before the Convention. It took 10
votes to nominate, and on the
fourth ballot Mr.. French drew the
lucky number.
We have no personal acquaint.
ance with the nominee except the
few short hours we were in conven-
ton together, but from those who
are acquainted with him we learn
he is a man of good characters
man standing well at home, in his
business and morals. It Is our I'M
derstanding that he has none Of the
foolish habits of fashionable life
and none INDUCED in by degraded
men. AS Republican he stands
shoulder to shoulder with the best,
and we are certain his constituents
will not be Inundated when he
passes through Chattanooga, on his
way to Nashville to take his seat "a
a member Of the State Senate.

THE TIME IS COMING.

There is growing sentiment in
this country that men who drink
liquor are not the men to hold the
Offices Of the County, State or Ma
ton. 1t will not be long until the
question Is settled that drinkef
can't hold an Office. In some places
an officer who gets drunk is subject
to impeachment. You ask the res
son for this stringency! 1t is found
in the fact that it renders Q man
incompetent. He who drinks has
no assurance for the safety Of any
trust which he may hold, whether
money or other responsibility to be
answered for. The experience Of
railroads is that a drunken man Is
unfit to have charge Of an engine.
Only a few weeks ago, when
North, we saw q fireman or en-
gineer put off train because he
allowed himself to drink to excess.
Our heart went out in sympathy
for him. We thought Of his wife
and children; what trial 1t would
be for them. We made inquiry
and found that when he was sober
he was as true as steel, but when
drinking it destroyed his presence
of mind and he could not be trust
ed. We said, Poor man, what q
pity he is under the heel of whisky.
We rejoice at the prospect Of q
better time. Make 1t Improbable
to drink, yea, even disgraceful, and
men will act cautiously.

The Chattanooga Times is for
Bob Taylor right or wrong; is for q
protective tariff and the Blair edu.
cational bill, but it is going to vote
for him If 1t loses all these-that is,
it fav0rs men before principle.
That is it exactly. Politicians care
but little for principle. ALI Taylor
represents just what the Chatta-
nooga Times processes to believe
and favor, yet the editor of that
sheet will not vote for his avowed
principles, because ALI calls him.
self a Republican and Bob calls
himself a Democrat, although his
vote and the vote of his party will
be an instruction to the Congress Of
the United States that the people
of Tennessee do not want the mil.
lion dollars u year to educate their
children.

INVITED TO LEAVE.
The Nashville Banner says:

~
It were idle for any well inform-
ed man to deny that there has been
q noteworthy increase and strength
ening Of the protective sentiment
In Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee
and other southern states. with
the upbuilding Of manufactures In
the south there Is a pr0pOrttOnate
growth in the protection sentiment
and especially in and around the
industrial centres will this senti-
ment be found. Notably among
the large and increasing class OF
citizens known as wOrkingmen will
this protection idea be found crys-
talized into q strong and earnest
conviction. It may be well for the
American to remember that many
of these workingmen are democrats
and that, with proper regard for
their own interests, they are becOm-
ing very Independent, casting aside
mere party pfejudices and think
ing for themselves.
When, therefore, the American
bids these democrats who believe
that q protective tariff promotes
their best interests as well as the
interests of the whole country, to
speedily take themselves out Of the
fold Of democracy, 1t may 4 be
Fastening, q distinct readjustfnent
Of the party line within the scope
of the Morrison idea, which will re-
suit in the loss Of q considerable
number of voters In this and other
southern states. ~
In inviting the protection Demo-
Gratis to leave the Democratic party,
the Nashville American is right. If
these men are honest In believing
that protective tariff is the true
principle. They have no business
in a free trade party, and they have
no right to demand that nine
tenths Of the party shall give up
any part of their principles to ac-
commodate the one-tenth Of the
party; but we admit that the party
did wrong for success to straddle
this great question in American
politics.
A few free trade Republicans de-
feated Mr.. Blaine in the last cleo.
ton. We believe these men ought
to stay with the Democrats, 90 the
Republican party has fixed princi-
pies on the tariff and, therefore,
those who believe in free trade as
the New York Times editors,
should remain where the principles
Of q party invites them. Therefore,
the Nashville Banner, Chatta-
nooga Times, Memphis Avalanche,
and Nashville Union should move
out of the Democratic building, and
the rooms vacated by them should
be rented to the free trade Republi.
cans. Then each party would be a
unit-when the tariff question
would be presented fairly on Its
merits.

THE MASK OFF.

Bob Taylor tore off the mask ut
McMinnville on the Blair educa-
tional bill, as the people of that
county (Warren) are bitterly op-
posed to receiving money from the
National Government to educate
the poor children of the State. He
took strong grounds in his speech
at that point against 1t, and the
people were wild with enthusiasm
for Bob. ALI received no public
congratulations at McMinnville.
He was driven to a hotel in a pri.
vate carriage. This is the home Of
Hon. John H. Savage, the fighter
of railroads and all kinds of prog.
ress. There is no sight there for
men who would change the old
policy of corn in one side of sack
and stone in the other.

SHELVING THEM.

The six Democratic members Of
Congress who voted for . protective
tariff are being shelved by the
Democratic conventions The truth
is the Democratic party is q free
trade party, and tariff men have no
business inside Of that party. The
action Of the party is in accordance
with its known views; and as the
contest is yet to be tried 1t Is best
that the old parties clean out all
conflicting sentiments and present
the question to the American PEG.
on an honest declaration Of princi.
pies.

DOES IT PAY7

The City Council have reduced
the taxes of Atlanta % per cent

that city. Going on the basis that
the valuation Of property In the
city is one million dolars, she will

There is a great deal of growing
over the republican nomination for
the Legislature in Knox County;
and the growing is not without
good reason, so far as two of the
candidates are concerned. II the
democracy are wise they will nom.

the platter. They can do so II they
will, but 1t is said they will follow
suit and nominate the same class of
fellows.

The Republicans Of the Sd Con.

nominee.

1t is generally conceded by all
that the vote Of the people Of the

not?

In addition to the news from Wash
ington, which we were enabled to give
in the few minutes left us after the
arrival of the steamer on Saturday,
the information comes direct that the
Senate Committee ON Foreign Rela-
tions has been at work on new treaty
between the United States and the
Hawaiian Government, and actually
reported up the draft, unanimously,
with an argument for its adoption.
Besides maintaining the commercial
features Of the old treaty, it grants
the United States the exclusive and
entire use of Pearl Bay, with the
right to establish there a coaling sta
ton and shipyard. This proposal in
wolves the Hawaiian Government in
one of the very gravest questions
that the kingdom has ever encounter
ed. To accept it is to abdicate q
measure of independence, as well as
to assume share of the risks of
Americas wars, almost as great as
that of any State in the Union. To
reject it is tantamount to waving the
advantage of American alliance, if
not even inviting the covetous eyes
of European powers-perhaps invok-
ing a deadly international struggle
for possession of this strategic posi-
ton, without duplicate in the
Pacific.

pattern.
One Of the most painful duties of
fair journalism, in present circum-
stances, is that of discovering to
readers abroad the unsavory fact
that sixty acres Of pestilential slums
were cleaned up within the city
limits for the execution Of a sani-
tary purgation Of such vast dimen-
sions will be less startling piece Of
news to many than that the condi-
tions requiring it actually prevailed.
The only creditable sequel to the
narrative Of last Sunday afternoons
doings, that can be presented to the
world abroad, is the announcement
that new era in the sanitary and
architectural history of Honolulu
has been inaugurated.
The proclamation of the Minister
of the Interior, whether legal or not,
certainly expresses the sentiments
Of every resident in sympathy with
the progress and stability of the
city at home and the certainty of
well-merited reputation abroad. And
provided the laws are not sufficient
to meet the case, it is fortunate that
tie Legislative Assembly will shortly
be in session; and if that body
possesses a moiety of the calibre
supposed to be an inherent quality
of law-making minds, enactments
bearing upon this matter may very
speedily be framed. AS to the rela-
tions existing between the functions
of Government and the rights of
private property, it is an admitted
principle Of law in other countries
that no citizen may be deprived Of
his property or of any part of it
without just equivalent; and in
the case of railroad building and
other works for the use of the pub
lie, lands are taken and buildings
removed, the proprietors being COM
pensated on carefully appraised
valuations; and the same principle is
recognized in the courts here. Or
if it be necessary to the rebuilding
of the burnt district on a more
solid architectural basis and under
reformed sanitary conditions, for the
Government to take possession of
the whole area by purchase from the
proprietors and lease holders, there
is no doubt that the appropriation
of liberal sum from the public
funds for the purpose would be
welcome measure. And it is the
manifest duty Of the public to sup
port the Government in carrying to
successful issue any reasonable
measure that may be adopted to
meet the emergency. Every senti-
ment Of partisan feeling should be
suppressed. If the debris of half
annihilated city is not sufficient to
stir up public opinion to due ap-
probation Of the greatness of the
interests involved, and TO fix a
determination to forego all minor
considerations, then there is little
prospect that the future will be any
Improvement on the past. Union is
strength, and union has great posi-
bilities within its reach at the pre-
sent time. Whether the opportu-
nifty forced upon the attention Of the
people of Honolulu by the alarm Of
Sunday afternoon is to be won or
lost, remains to be written either in
congratulations over a renovated
city or in vain regrets over a resus-
citated town of shanties.

WEAKNESS OF THE FRENCH RE.
PUBLTG

Probably the French Radicals will dis.
cover that expulsion Of political foes is
about the worst policy that can be pursued
toward them. Louis Napoleon found this
out to his sorrow, and there is reason to be-
lieve that what proved true Ia the case OF
the empire will be found the same under
the Republic Victor Hugo in exile was
a more potent force against the usurping
Buonaparte than be could have been In Paris
in the enjoyment of that sovereign's Glenn
ency. The Emperor, himself then 4 fugitive,
lived TO see Hugo welcomed home with ma
tional applause, and while the poets remains
now rest in French soil those of the En-.
peror who banished him are entombed in
foreign land.
The federation extended by the Republic
to the Buonapartists and Legitmists thus far
has been justified by the results. The former
have become nobodies, and their following
in the chambers is 80 Insignificant that il is
now rarely heard Of The latter are more
respectable in numbers and in person, but
their followers are not increasing aud they
have not been charged with any unlawful
conspiracles.
Left alone, neither Of these families would

lie sentiment which u wise aud liberal Re.
publican government would draw 10 its sup
port Their expulsion would amount u
confession Of conscious weakness on the
part Of the Republic which its friends will

While it is difficult TO und crstand how
any other conclusion could be reached, the
announcement that Maxwell OF Brooks, the
murderer of Preller, in St. Louis, has been
found guilty OF murder in the first degree
is nevertheless a subject of congratulation.
Not that any body wanted him punished ii
he did not clearly deserve it. Far from it.
Every person in the country, we venture to
say, hoped he might have perfectly fair trial
with an the rights and doubts to which a man
on trial for his life is justly entitled. From
the first, however, there never existed the
slightest ground for doubt that the prisoner
killed his victim, and killed him in cold blood,
but the chances nowadays are so great
that The eneis Of justice may be defeated by
single corrupt or incompetent jurymen
that when the majesty oil the law is main
tanned in case which challenges public at
tention the whole country gives vent To its
feelings by a sigh Of relief, as 1t were. An
other cause for congratulation at the result
is found in the convicted mans statement
that in the event of his expected acquittal
he would have taken to the lecture plat.
form or dime museum, for his appearance
in both of which means OF n0toriety he had
already had flatterng offers. 1t is worth a
cool deal to the country to have escaped
such an exhibition Wash. Star.

Hon. McComas in the House, on Tuesdasfv
last, delivered himself Of a carefully pre-
pared speech in defence of the civil service
bill. 1t is little sugar.coated campaign
document for home use. We have neither
desire nor space to give it the slightest con-
sideration We have time and again assert
ed that we never entertained anything but
the utmost contempt for the civil service
bill as well as its originator, and we will
now add that we are in favor of any meas
ure on the part Of Congress that will impede
its operations, even though it be to strike out
the item in the appropriation bill that pro-
vidcs for the maintenance and support of
this odiuus and anti. Democratic measure.
The Baltimore press, however, speaks in
complimentary terms Of the effort of Mr..
McComas, whilst the Washington Star thus
makes editorial reference TO it:
"Since the days of Reverdy johnson and
Henry Winter Davis Maryland has not
made much figure in either branch of Con-
gress, and the vigorous and telling speech of
Mr.. McComas was something Of surprise.
The Republicans seemed to recognize that
they had gained decided accession to their
debating force"
There is some speculation among the con-
stituents of Mr. McComas in this section as
to where he got his speech or who got it up
for him. This would seem to be the most
unkindest cut of ALL"

DEEEA Z OF GLADSTONE

II is by far too soon to arrive at any cer-
rect conclusion as TO the extent of the defeat
of the Home Rule bill under the leadership
OF Gladstone. There was but thirty votes
between the minority and majority, show
ing that change of sixteen votes would
have changed the result. This vote, how
ever, showed that the Liberal U nionlsts an
waverers did not finally go with the bill, as
the Premier hoped, nor abstain from voting
as he anticipated, but went almost solidly
with the opposition.
The defeat of this measure will in al |
probability be the immediate dissolution of
Parliament and an appeal 10 the people in
campaign marked with degree of great
excitement and bitterness. In going 10 the
country the "grand old man" is always a
his best, and he still pQNeses great vigor
Tor one OF his age. Az pie it may be
regarded as certain that England will be
red-hot during the summer incident TO the
expression of the people on this question
This country will look on dispassionately
and congratulate the venerable Premier II
he comes back to Westminster with fifty
majority.
1t is fair to presume that Irish home rule
having been postponed, the Irish delega.
ton will not permit any legislation upon

and monopolists rejoice, whilst conservatism
in all its ncongruous forms is elated.
