Mr.. A. s. CoLYAR'S ADDRESS

The Memphis Appeal has this TO
say OF Dir. A. S. Celyar's address
before the Tennessee Press AssocIa-
ton on Friday last:
There were many good speeches
made at the Press banquet last
night. but she one most pertinent
TO Tennessee and to the people of the
whole State, was that Of Col. a s.
Colyar. He made and emphasized
three points, three str ong points,
that is to be hoped all the MEM
bers Of the press present will re
member as significantly essential to
the future Of Tennessee, The first
OF these was as to the illiteracy that
is a burden snd a menace 10 the
peace and welfare of the State
This he directed attention to as =
great mass Of offensive stuff that
stands in the way of eur progress,
and must be cared away before
anything like real, solid, tangible
advancement can be made. In this
we agree with Col. Colyar. The
State, the counties and cities must
put their whole strength to this
work and erect school houses as so
many beacon lights indicative not
only OF advancing intelligence and a
generous measure of enlightenment,
but Of a purpose t. take Tennessee
up TO the heights on whieh Con-
necticut and Michigan stand pres
eminent among the states. No state
can be anything worthy of the
American name without school.
houses. Where there is illiteracy
orIhalf education there is crime and
q low ebb of public opinion, With
out general intelligence, though we
had ali the blessings Of nature In
inexhauItAble quantity and strength
we cannot hope to make gains
against the states that are equippe d
by the schoolmaster. Another point
made by Mr.. Colyar was as to the
character and ability of mem bers Of
ths Legislature. This is the bSdy
whose action and nagemen of
affairs NEST nearly touched the pso~
pie. Congress concerns them re-
mOtely, the Legislature nearly 1t

ATKINS THE NAN.

Our Memphis correspondent.
whose letter was published in the
last edition of The Star, admits all
that a Tennessee democrat needs
to be convinced that Atkins should
be supported rather than Harris.
Our correspondent says; "Mr At
Atkins is certainly the superior OF
Harris as a statesman, a schGl>
ar and a gentleman" This is a
broad and liberal admission for a
friend and supporter of Harris, and
the sslt>satisfactiOn which leads
our correspondent to makethls hon.
est concession ought to lead hum to
renounce his allegiance to Harris,
and come out tor the man whom he
recognizes to be an ADLER statesman
and purer gentleman. Statesman
ship is what we need at The Ma tion>

which exhibits itself only IN secur-
ing "pie" for kinsfoik and political

The politicians claim that the
people as a mass are very ignorant
and that they take little or no in
terest In public questions or public
men, and that they generally fol-
low their leaders, and take the al r
vice OF those who manipulate and
electrify the political wires. The
Star is not prepared to endorse nor
to deny these statements, but il
would be greatly grieVed to posi-
lively know that the bone, Drawn,
and brain of this free land are too
ignorant and Indifferent to watch
their liberties and political rig Is,
and virtually surrender them to
office seekers. Surely this can not
be. The clalms are certainly false.

The Star IN its last issue was
seized with disposition to poke a

aad did so in the following manner:
{" Today The Appeal is for Nc

say 1t has been fer all, and when the

There now, The Appeal has again
been Endorsed"
Whersupon The Appeal got its
back up, and irately proceeded to
administer the following comment:
"The Appeal has not been for any
of these gentlemen for Governor.
On the contrary, it has stated that
it had ne candidate for that or any
ether efice. 1t has ublished the
