Republican party literally guttcd It,

All this had 10 be contended
with, and It's present condition speaks how
wisely IL was handled. l do not believe
that there is a State in the Union whose
finances have been more capaby handled
since 1883 than Tennessee's. The problem
is being worked out for her unlimited
prosperity, and she will achieve it in few
years. There is no State in the Union
that has more or better schools
These have to be maintained, the people
are determined on that. II the property
OF the State Is properly assessed the rev.
enue will be forthcoming and the embar-
rassments which have so beset us on that
score will be overcome"

CONGRESSIONAL WORK.
Program of What viii Probably Be
Done This Week.

Done This Week.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.-The educational
bill remains as for three weeks past, the
unfinished business Of the Senate tomor-
row and Senator Morgan has the floor for
a speech upon it. 1t is likely to give place
temporarily tomorrow or Tuesday for the
House bill making appropriations for agri-
cultural experiment stations. II the edu-
cational bill Is brought 10 vote before the
end OF the week ii will probably be sue
ceeded by tho differentiation or the de-
pendent pension bill. Senators Kenna
and Platt are understood TO contemplate
the delivery of speeches on the tariff and
surplus during the week.
MIR. WIKI rs national bank bill comes
first in the ofler OF unfinished business,
but unless its author RECEIVERS from his
illness IN time to give il attention it will
give place TO the resolution assigning an
unlimited period OF time for the considera-
ton OF large number OF bills for the
erection of public buildings. This propo-
sition will be vigorously opposed by a
small minority, and il not disposed Of by
Thursday will be sent back again TO the
calendar, as the elections committee in
tends TO call up the Lowery-White Indiana
election case on Thursday, which will
possibly consume the remainder Of the
week.
The pension appropriation bill, which is
a privileged matter, may be called up for
action during the week, and the commit
tee on foreign affairs will make an effort
TO pass the French exposition bill II op-
portunity offers.
The urgent deficiency appropriation bill
will be reported to the House at the be-
ginning OF the week, and its consideration
will consume day or two.

Your issue Of Saturday last contains a
card from I. l.. Lee, agent l.. & N. X. r.,

last Legislature on coal yards, making the
total tax about $50 per annum.

author Of il TO risc and explain why Il was

production and price Of sugar, is u strong
appeal TO Congress In behalf Of the people
TO repeal the duties on that necessary OF
life and admit sugar free. Freesugar will

What Music Is.

Music is largely a matter of association.
If a person hears and if attracted by an
air in childhood, the chances are that its
hold will be intensified in later years, even
if he should have become more cultured
in music in the interim and knows the
melody to be trashy. What is one mans
meat is another's poison, in music, and
one must beware of judging hastily as to
the merits or dement's of any particular
school of music, ever if repealed by. it at
first. The Chinese music, for example,
seems to us q conglomeration of dissonant
noises, yet we have proof positive that it
goes to the hearts of even the most refined
of the Celestials while the finest of our
music leaves them cold and unmoved.
Custom has also something to do with
the appreciation of music of some kinds,
for East Indian gentlemen have informed
us that the music Of the Hindoos, when
first heard by them. with all it's third and
quarter tones, seemed quite out of tune,
but after hearing it through months and
years they not only grew accustomed to
it, but learned to like it greatly. 1t may
be stated as a truism that any combina-
tion of tone which can move the feelings
has a right to be considered music,
whether it repel some auditors or not

Giving the Flies a Chance.

He was eating a substantial breakfast
of steak and eggs in a well known restau-
rant a few days since, and the meal was
enlivened by the presence of a small army
of hungry flies, which perched content
eddy upon the food, and chung thereto
much closer than n brother, varying their
exercise by lighting on his face to rest
from their labors. He bore the ordeal
with supreme patience and for
a time, but he had ordered q square meal,
check therefor, he naturally desired to
appropriate the major part of the edibles
to himself and to contribute but little to
the voracious insects
Finally he muttered an expressive oath
as a detachment of the enemy made a bold
attempt to carry off a roll, and, dipping
his spoon in the sugar, he proceeded to
erect sundry little piles of the saccharine
pellets at intervals of several feet from
his plate, to which he invited their atten-
ton, and earnestly besought the buzzing
besiegers to communicate their good fort
une to their relatives and friends.
The experiment worked to a charm, for
the dainty creatures preferred the sugar
to the rump steak, and they Toasted right
royalty and in utter contempt of the
young man. When he left the table his
face wore a triumphant smile, and he paid
his check with SO much promptness and
satisfaction that the clerk ventured to re-
mark that the meal must ave been I'M
commonly well prepared. He replied,
after some hesitation, that he had given
the flies a chance and was at peace with
all the world.-Providence Journal.

In consequence of the absence OF sew
present at the sale of Hereford cattle held
at the fair grounds yerterday morning,
and of considerable misunderstanding as
to the exact hour at which the meeting
had hceu called, the Wyoming Stock
Growers Association POSTPONED their
special meeting until this (Satulday)
morning, at 1880 o'clock.
Every member Of the association is
earnestly requested to be present, as mat
tiers of vital importance to the welfare, not
not only to the association, but 10 the live
stock interests at large, will be considered.
The primary object of the meeting will
be to devise some means for keeping the
association alive and in good financial
condition The experience of those in.
terestcd in cattle since the association
gave up the active management of the
inspection and detective work, has led
them to believe that II reorganization Of
the association upon Ii practical basis is
imperativeiy demanded.
1t is hardly necessary to state that the
live stock commissioners cannot be crit
cisco nor be held responsible for the ex-
listing condition of things. The failure Of
the maverick fund has left them abso-
lutly without the means necessary 10
carry on the work entrusted to their care.
Until such time as the commission shall
have funds at their command. the stock
men of the territory must act together for
mutual protection, and 10 do this they
must rally to the supp IT of the aSso-
piatinn

A CRITICISM which could reasonably lie
made on the management OF the track at
the fair grounds during the whole week
is in regard to the unfortunately long waits
between the heats. The races all along
have been very interesting, some of them
superbly So, but they might have been
rendered more 50 ii the programme had
been carried out with more raIidity. This
is a comparatively small matter, but it is
something hat appeals TO every spectator
at the races.

This is the third annual territorial fair
and the others were also bel in Chey-

three and in its success the whole terri
tory should take great pride. There is
not an exhibit which would appear un-
favorably beside a similar one in an East

such a variety of products, but what she
has are as fine as are found in any of her
