SENATOR IsHAM G. HARRIS.
A just Tribute to Distinguished Ten
nessean.

The St Louis Republic, the lead
ing Democratic newspaper of the
great Northwest, recently contain
ed the following tribute to Senator
Harris, Of this State, through its
Washington correspondence:
Senator lsham G. Harris, of Ten
nessee, has since this session began
been called to the chair more fre-
quently than any other member Of
the Senate by ice-President Nor
ton when the latter wants to take
some hours of. In about seven in
stances out of ten when Mr.. Morton
is not in the Vice-Presidential chair
Mr.. Harris is, and good presiding
officer does the senior Senator from
Tennessee make.
He has a voice that would fill the
whole Capitol if he gave it full play.
He has it in excellent control, and
only permits it to do the work cut
out for it. 1t is a clear voice, too,
and far from unmelodious. When
Mr.. Morton summons Mr.. Harris
to the chair, and he takes hold of the
Senate, the contrast is bit start
ling to those not accustomed to the
change. The doorkeepers wake up
and the pages jump. The members
Of the Senate, too, seem to revital-
ize. Business is given a squirt and
Legislation humps itself. 1t is not
intended to convey the impression
that Mr.. Morton does not make q
good presiding officer, for he does
make a most excellent one. Under
him business goes smoothly along
Under Senator Harris it is given &
touch of the whip and always re.
spends. Mr.. Harris, notfgurative
ly, but actually, drives the Senate
He does it in such a way that it
members are perfectly satisfied, al
though somehow little surprised
at their ability in doing what the,
are elected to do.
When the next Senate, whicl
will be Democratic, is organized
Senator Harris, of Tennessee, viii
be itspro temporepresident Vice
President Morton very likely think
Of this when he selects him to bos
the Senate for the time being, an,
there will not be single Senate
who will object to Senator Harris
selection as president pro tempor
of the Senate in the next Congress
nor anybody else, for that matter

OLD AGE IN DISGRACE.
A Septuagenarian Accused of Criminal
Assault OH Little Girl.

A Septuagenarian Accused of Criminal
Assault OH Little Girl.
Mckenzie special to Memphis Commercial,l
The town Of Gleason, s miles west
of this place, on the Nashville, Chat
tanooga, andSt. Louis Railroad, has
a sensation.
A man by the name Of Cullom,
about seventy years of age, has for
some time been boarding with a
Mrs. Cobb. A few days ago it was
currently reported that Cullom had
been guilty Of criminal intimacy
with the 9-year-old niece of Mrs.
Cobb.
He was notified Of the charge,
and ordered to leave town at once.
He denied any criminal conduct,
but the indignant citizens needed
not his plea, and again warned him
to leave town Immediately; that he
would not be allowed to wait for a
train, but must "get up and get"
Cullom obeyed orders, starting
down the railroad toward Dresden
through the heavy rain and wind
But ere he had proceeded far night
overlook him, which, owing to his
advanced age and impaired eye
sight, made it almost impossible fol
him to travel further,
Hearing the voices of some o
the indignant citizens who were
pursuing him, he left the railroad
track and took refuge behind a hug,
tree until his pursuers gave up tn,
search and returned to town, whel
he proceeded on his journey, bu
made little progress, wandering
around in the mud and rain al
night. He was found next morn
ing almost frozen to death, and as
sisted to a house near by where h
was cared for until he could leave
Cullom is very fond Of children
and usually keeps a crowd aroun'
him. The little girl reported hi
conduct, and was corroborated b,
the cook of Mrs. Cobb, but the cit
, liens Of Gleason are divided i
their belief. All concerned ar
? prominent and highly connected
and what may be the outcome Q
, the affair is only surmisable.

SAM JONES ON "CRAPs."
The Evangelist Says it is Dirty, Low
Down Game.

The Evangelist Says it is Dirty, Low
Down Game.
Rev. Sam Jones, the evangelist, is
evidently down on thepopular game
of chance called CRAPS" In one Of
his sermons at Memphis recently
the Commercial quotes him as fol-
lows:
"There are over one thousand
boys shooting craps in this town to-
night, In Chattanooga two white
men were brought before Judge
Moon for crap shooting and he fin
ed them $500 each. He said it was
negro's game, and when white
folks played it they had to pay for
it, and when negroes play they have
toput up, too. | tell you, if you had
Judge Moon on the criminal bench
of this town he would clean up this
town as though the Mississippi Riv-
er had overAowed it. Don't you
want to borrow him, Brother Ma
hone?" he said, turning to the pre-
siding elder.
Scraps is a low-down dirty game,
and nobody but low-down person
would play it. Nothing but low
down, good-for-nothing town would
permit it. Nothing but a low-down
Judge would allow it, and if your
grand jury was not low-down il
would find bills against the players,
and your Encouragement is low
down, or he would make complaint
against them"

Speaking Of the product of the
Jersey COW, the jackson Dispatch
says: Mrs. w. d, Neff made from
four Jersey COWS for the month of
January, 1898, l41 pounds of but
ter and 226 gallons of butter-milk,
for which she received 25 cents per
pound for her butter and 10 cents
per gallon for the butter-milk,
amounting to S57.S5. The cost OF
feeding the cows per day is7 cents
each, making $40 per month, and
$40 for the four. Net profit for
the month, S49.4O. Captain Nefl
says that during the year of 1895
they realized $500 from the four

THE PENITENTlARY QUESTION.
Some Knots In the Matter Which are Hard
to UnraVel.


The discussions in the local pen
itentiary committee and the drift
of evidence taken at the sittipgs
last week demonstrated several
facts very clearly, to wit:
(1) That the Democratic men,
bers of the general assembly are
committed to the abolition Of the
lease system when the present con-
tract expires, and that they favor
carrying out their pledges.
(2) That the people Of the State
demand the erection Of new and
modernly constructed penitentiary.
az That the present structure
is a disgrace to the State, and In
stead Of being a place Of reforma-
tion is a breeding place for crime.
(4) That the mixing all classes
Of criminals in the main prison and
at the mines is a reflection upon
the intelligence Of the people Of the
State, and makes Of the penitentiary
an academy Of crime.
(5) That the only way to raise
money to purchase lands and erect
the prison thereon is by the issu-
ance of bonds.
co. That there will have to be
slight increase in taxation to do this,
but the people will not listen to
much Of an increase.
(7) That the building Of the
prison at any other point than
Nashville is hazardous undertak-
ing.
(S) That the whole prison sys-
tenn must be divorced from politics
and the convicts managed and
worked upon business principles
by business men.
(9) That prison commission Of
three frst-class men should have
charge Of the erection Of the prison
and formulate plans for the man
agement and employment of con-
victs.
(10) That the governor should
appoint these commissioners from
any part Of the State he chooses
and that their term of Office should
be limited to faithful and intelli-
E gent service.
CID That the new prison should
be built Of stone or brick, with
, steel and iron cells, and amply large
\ to hold 1000 persons.
(12) That there should be a re-
I vision of our criminal laws so that
petty offenders can be punished
in some other manner than by be
ing sent to the penitentiary.
(l3) That the new prison should
, be so constructed as to keep the
youthful and less hardened crimi-
nails away from the hardened and
! vicious inmates.
(14) That the present system OF
. prison inspection is hollow mock
cry, without result and without
, profit to the punisher or to the pun
: ished.
(15) That a new prison will cost
E not less than S50O,00O and possibly
twice that sum.
(16) That it is the most difficult
g and least understood problem that
d the people have had to face in a
a long number Of years.
t There were last week 1,467 con
: victs at the main prison and at the
:, mines. In the main prison there
