Hon. John r. Neal.

Hon. John R. Neal died March Goth,
at his home at Rhea Springs, Rhea
county, less than month after ~hav.
ing completed his second term in the
Congress OF the United States.
In his death Tennessee loses one OF
her noblest sons. He was one OF the
purest and best men the State has
ever produced and his death will be
mourned sincerely by thousands who
have had proofs of his disinterested
friendship and by the thousands who
have admired his many virtues. He
was a man OF unusual ability, but nev-
er reached the exalted position in pol.
itics he was capable of filling, simply
because OF his modesty. He never
thrust himself forward and the honor
able Offices he held as a soldier and q
citizen were thrust upon him as marks
of the confidence and esteem Of hi;
fellows and as tributes to his ability

nliteracy as a Qualification.

The Nashville American writing Of
the Dortch bill says:
This bill contains the provisions
which have met the approval of the
best thought and study all over the
country, of those who have given their
earnest attention to the reform of the
electoral abuses. Democrats and re-
publicans alike in other states have
pronounced it a wise, sound and salu-
tary measure for securing an honest
and unpurchased, unintimidated vote.
If the democratic party gets an ad-
vantage from this law it is Legitimate
advantage, for no party can complain
that it has suffered on account OF a
purification OF election methods.
The republicans will no doubt act
in concert and vote as one man against
this bill because they know that pure
elections means the defeat of the re.
publican party. But democrats
should at least learn from their enc
mics the value OF unity of purpose and
concert OF action

John Rrlght,s Death.

While John Bright lived the Glad
stonian Liberals would not have seri-
ously thought Of contestng his return
to Parliament, although he had fallen
away upon an important dogma of
Liberal faith. Now that he is dead
however, the return OF n Home Rule
Liberal in his place becomes of the
greatest importance. This is an op.
portunity to rebuke Mr., Chamberlain
in his own home, and the election OF a
Gladstonian in Mr.. Brights stead will
have the effect OF utterly dissipating
and destroying the Liberal Unionist
faction.
In the case Of Mr.. Bright much
could be overlooked in his declining
years. His services in behalf OF hui
man progress had been as benificent
as they were long and distinguished.
He was a great and unselfish leader,
and when he erred at last it was be-
cause age had impaired his powers.
This entitled him to a consideration
that could be accorded to no one else.
Without doing any injustice to his
memory, with mis- death comes the
duty of reversing the policy OF his
later years, and thoughts OF his sue
cessor naturally intrude even upon
the ministrations in his nor.-Phil-
adelphia times.
