FRIDAY, MARCH II, 1893.

The whole energies of the expir-
ing days Of BENJAMIN HARRIsoN's
administration seem to have been
confined to handing over the Treas
ury Of the United States in a lam
entably depleted condition. From
HARRISON down they seem to have
been inspired with the sentiment
"After me the deluge," Itwas not
a statesman-like device, though it
was rank with partisanship.

NEARLY every prominent minis

nlittee headed by DR.. d. G. KELLEY

blymen. A bill has been reported
favorably from the Judiciary COM
mittee raising the age from 10 to
IL years. This action Of the rev.
erend gentlemen will meet with a
hearty approval from every chris
tian mother in Tennessee, and the
petition should be enacted into a
law in the interest of humanity.

The gross abuseof the pardoning
power is recognized by Governor
TURNEY, who is opposed to execu-
tive clemency. He was recently
interviewed on the subject, and is
quoted as saying that he could not
understand it as his duty to turn a
man loose after the court and jury,
in the presence Of the attorneys and
with the knowledge of the communi-
ty, and in the fear of God, had said
that the man was guilty and that
the law set his punishment as SO
much. This is the right and only
correct view of the matter, for Of
what use are our laws if they are
not enforced and respected by the
servants of the people?

The principle of rotation in Office
is sound Democratic doctrine, and
is embodied in the Constitution Of
the United States, and Of all the
States in those clauses which limit
the term of Office to a short series
of years, ranging from one in Mass
achusetts to four in Mississippi.
The policy of the patriarchs has
been upheld with fair consistency
by the Democratic party, which has
steadily adhered to short terms and
regular recurring responsibility to
the people. If the latest rule Of
action promulgated by Mr.. CLEvE-
LAND is the practical carrying out
of rotation in office, then he is SIM
ply adhering to a sound Democratic
doctrine. The very principle Of
rotation in Office is essential to par
ty vigor and success, and operates
to make valiant soldiers in a cause
that needs valor and address. Be-
sides, political parties have found
rotation in Office absolutely essen
tial to their well-being as politi.
cal organization. The aspiration
to fill Office is noble and praise
worthy ambition; but, in the Ian
guage of Mr.. CLEVELAND, it is de
grading when it becomes demon
alizing madness for spoils. How
ever, the principle Of rotation cal
not justly operate to debar men VIII
have already answered to the PEG

THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY.

assembly euneSudy OF laSJ week !
was taken up with the Davis cpl
sode in the house, and little bust
ness was transacted on that account.
The announcement of the house
vote expelling Speaker Davis from
the chair was literally applauded
by the members.
The Ellis coal oil bill to reduce
the inspectors fees from Is to 10
cents per barrel and increase the
size of the barrel from AZ to 30 gal
Ions, which was withdrawn from the
judiciary committee in the house,
will almost certainly come up this
week. The indications are that it
will pass the house, but, like the
Malone fee bill, it may strike a snag
in the senate. 1t has been given
out that the latter bill is almost GER
tain to be defeated in the senate.
The opposition now claim 10 votes
against it.
Representative Baker brought
down the house Friday by a red hot
speech on his motion to print 5000
copies of the report Of the special
committee which recently visited
the main and branch prisons. Mr..
Malone moved to print {, 900 copies,
but Mr.. Frost endeavored to amend
by making the number 1000 Mr..
Bonner thought the newspapers
would give it enough circulation.
Then Mr.. Baker turned loose his
eloquence. He bitterly denounced
the lease system as-the sum Of all
villainies, and said that the exiles
in Siberia lived in palaces compar-
ed with the quarters accorded the
convicts Of this State. "The peo-
pie all over the State" continued
Mr.. Baker, "want to read the report,
by far the best ever made by leg
islative committee, and it is all non
sense to expect or ask the newspa-
pers to give up their space to such
, a volumnious document. We were
r sent here to settle this problem and
remove the incubus which is dis
y grazing the State. The people
S have spoken. Every party plat,
t form has said the lease system must
a go, and if we don't pave the way fol
:, its abolition the people will speak
/ in thunder tones that can not be

d applauded by both Democrats ant
t Republicans.

to the general assembly last weel
in which he recommends a separa
ton of the Office of Acknowledgment

the governor, and that the Office 0
private secretary be made a sepa
rate Office. He does so for the rea
, son that he thinks it almost impos
sible for one man to discharge til
duties of both Offices under any con
ditions. The governor says it
very desirable that the great ez
penses now attending the protec
