Memphis Gubernatorial Candidate.

viii the Hon. David Park Had
den be a candidate for Governor?
His name is being mentioned in that
connection by some of the State pa
pers, but it is highly probable he is
content to remain plain "factor"
for the present at least. The tussel in
this neck of the woods will be be-
tween Col. Josiah Patterson and
Hon. Lucas Clapp. However, il
things should get in a muss Judge
MADDEN may take a hand Scimitar.
We should not blame the old Ty-
coon for taking a lively hand
Brother Patterson and Clapp have
done all they could to down him and
now it looks as if the Judge was
coming to the front with flying
colors and clean hands and ha;
proven himself a man of distin
guished administrative ability.

New Process for Steel Making.

A writer in the Manufacturers Re-
cord claims that a new process for the
manufacture of steel has been dis
IcqSered, and a number of United
Mates patents have recently been
granted that promises TO revolution
lie the manufacture of steel in the
South.
The claims made for this new pro
Icess are that by ore and the same
heat, and by continuous process,
steel for mechanical and structural
purposes can be made at very ma
terial reduction from present cost Of
manufacture, and that by this method
1.-THE phosphorus iron ores of the South
can be utilized for the manufacture of
Ievery grade al steel as readily as high
lgrade Bessemer ores.
I The process is one founded on we'll
known chemical and physical prin-
ifiples for reducing ores to metal at a
minimum cost. The special mode of
Treatment of the ores is such that by
it the phosphorus and sulphur, the
silica and titanum are, it is said, en-
tirely eliminated.
The ores of the South that hold an
excess of phosphorus can, it is clam.

Ores of that nature in this finely

Tobacco Outlook.

The Western Tobacco Journal pub
lished at Cincinnati, in summing Ut
the tobacco situation says "If thesiA
months of 1920 show as active manu-
facture in tobacco as the first six
months of 1889, the product for tht
fiscal year 1Ss9-9O will be about thu
same as that of the year 1889, anC

Poor Humanity!

The common lot is one of sorrow
say-at least-the pessimists, they
who look at the worst side. Ger
tainIy what would otherwise be a
bright existence, is often Swallowed
by some ailment that overhangs it
like a pail, obscuring perpetually the
radiance that else would light the
path. Such an ailment, and very
common one, is nervousness, or in
other words, weakness Of the ner-
vous system, q condition only IRENE
diabie where inefficient or improper
means are taken to relieve it. The
concurrent experience of nervous peo-
pie who have persistently used Hos
letters Stomach Bitters is, that il
conquers entirely supersensitiveness
Of the nerves, as well as diseases sc
called which are invited and sus.
tanned by their chronic weakness
AS the nerves gain stamina from the
great tonic the trouble disappears
Use the Bitters for malaria, rheuma

sible to strengthen his efforts and the
bill will pass.
The Obion Democrat speaking of
the measure truthfully remarks:
1t is an amendment that should be
adopted. The United States Senate
is too far removed from the people.
1t is about as near to the masses and
about as much in sympathy with
them as the British House Of Lords,
in which membership is held By vir-
ture Of birth and title. There are Sem
at0rs who occupy that high position
solely because of their great wealth.
Possessing none of the attributes
of craftsmanship they have Sc
cured their elections by means of
their millions. The election Of a
millionaire to the Senate does not
necessarily imply that he secured his
election by corrupt methods, but the
Senate roster shows the names of too
lmany rich men who have no claims
Ito craftsmanship, and who would
never have been elected had it not
been for their money. 1t is possible
flor a millionaire to buy his way
Through legislature to the Senate,
but it is hardly possible that he could
buy the voters of a State.

The Nashville Banner is offering

guess to the population of Tennessee,
as will be shown by the next census
report. Col. MACEDONIAN of the Chat

at 1872, 535 for the State, and for the
city of Nashville 1851. We make
the guess that both sets of figures will
be considerably under the population

question of double taxation, which

need an enable to assist him in
arriving at knowledge of his duty

pensive luxury to the State, but it
may be more expensive to allow the
bunglesome legislation of the last SEES

should face the emergencies squarely

continually spreading the tail of his coat
for fight mean an intellectual fight,
as physically he was not pugnacious.
Quarrelsome persons who do not indulge
in pugilistic encounters are fond of law
suits; it is only another way Of having it
out, and Burton must have spent for
tune in fees. His humor on the witness
stand was quite equal to that of Sam
Weller. On one occasion while the actor
was going through bankruptcy, an eln-
inent lawyer in Philadelphia thought he
detected desire on Durton's part to
conceal some facts relative to q large
sum of money that he had made during
the production Of the 'Naiad Queen
Rising with great dignity, and glaring
fiercely at Burton, he demanded: What
became of that money, sir? The come
dian looked him straight In the face;
