Section 30, article ii, Of the C0nsti-
talon of Tennessee, after providing
for the payment of members Of the
General Assembly at the rate Of four
dollars per day, contains this provis-
ion: "But h0 member shall be paid
for more than stVcHty-fve days of Il
regular session, or for more than
twenty days of an extra or called SEES
sion; or for any day when absent
from his seat in the Legislature, un-
less physically unable to attend"
1t is evident from the above that
members cannot draw pay for
Sundays, or for the days during
which the Assembly was in recess.
The late and unlamented Forty-Sev
enth General Assembly of Tennessee
convened in the Capitol at Nashville
on Monday the 5tn day of January.
From that day forward there were "a
working days in January, "A in Feb
ruary, and 20 in March up to and in
Guiding the day of adjournment,
March 9Oth, thus giving total of 70
wording days from the assembling
to the adjournment. But the Assem-
bly, took a recess of II days, thus re-
ducing the actual number of working
days for which members are entitled
to their per diem to g.,
In view Of the above facts, it is
pertinent to inquire if members of
47th Assembly drew their per diem
for the full seventy five days, and we
invite any member to answer
through these columns whether or
not such was the case,
Section 4, article ii, of the Consti>
tuition provides as follows: can
enumeration of the qualified voters,
and an apportionment of the Repre-
sentatives in the General Assembly,
shall be made in the year one thous-
and eight hundred and seventy one,
and within every subsequent term of
ten years"
The Legislature adjourned without
complying with this provision of the
Constitution, and in order to comply
with it an extra session will have to
be called. Whether the Governor
will call the extra session, or let the
matter go by default, remains TO be
seen. The Constitution is plainly
mandatory on the point. Now will
the Governor leave the responsibility
where ii belongs-On the shoulders of
the Legislature-Or will he put the
State to the enormous expense Of an
extra session? which would have
been avoided, had the Legislature
performed its plain duty as laid down
by the Constitution.
If the members of the 18th Assem-
bly, have drawn pay to which they
are entitled under the Constitution,
and by carelessness and eagerness to
get away from their duties have
necessitated an expenditure of from
$25, 900 to $50,0OO for an extra session,
the people should know the facts, and
if there are any facts about the mats
ter which we have not stated, or have
incorrectly stated, the STANDARD in
vites any member or official to give
the information through these col
umns.

THE announcement of the with
drawal Of Baron Fava, the Italian
Minister to this country, has created
Il big sensation, and given the news
papers many columns of news dis
patches, besides furnishing text for
much editorial speculation about
war. Nothing is more remote, how
ever, than the probability of war be-
tween the United States and Italy.
While the New Orleans matter is Civ
en- by Baron Fava as a pretext for his
withdrawal, that is doubtless a mere
subterfuge. He has not been in high
favor with his own government for
sometime, and as there has lately
been a change in the prime ministers
Of Italy, the opportunity has proba-
bly, been seized to make a change in
representatives Of that country to the
United States. The following from
the Philadelphia North American,
we believe contains the real truth of
the matter: GA rupture of diplomat,
ic relations by Italy does not indicate
anything serious, and it is not at all
unlikely that the recall of the Baron,
who is a survival Of the Crispi Gov
eminent, is made to enable Rudini to
manage foreign affairs through men
selected by himself"
If we cannot live so as to be happy

There are only two republican con-
gressional districts in Tennessee now,
the First and Second.-West Tenn.
Wing.
There never has been but two re-
publican districts in this state. A re-
publican got into Congress from the
Third district two years ago by fraud
and rascality, but the Third is now
and has always been a democratic dis
trict.

THE Congressional redistricting bill
passed By the late Legislature,
brought Marion county back into this
district, and snapped Cannon coun-
ty hack to the Fifth district for
Franklin. The changes increase the
democratic majority five hundred or
more.

IT IS thought now that the Method
ist General Conference will not be in
vited to Nashville for its next meet.
ing. The reason for this is that the
Kelley Hargrove matter will come
up for discussion, and it is thought
best to remove it as far as possible
from the Tennessee Conference.

SEVERAL thousand Italian immi-
grants have landed in this country
since the New Orleans affair. We
have enough of that class already,
and it is high time Uncle Sam was
closing his doors to the slum of Eu-
rope. 1t is a pity the Mckinley bill
didn't put prohibitive tariff on that
kind Of immigrants.
