Prof. Frank Smith.

The Knoxville Journal, which has
for some time animadverted upon Prof.
Frank NJ. Smith because of an intem-
perate speech made by him at Column
bia during the recent campaign, pub
fishes another severely critical article
concerning him in its issue of yester-
terday. The Journal charges Mr..
Smith with the use of language in the
speech referred to which was insulting
to East Tennesseeans, and claims that
the several newspaper reports agree in
regard to the obnoxious utterances
which have excited indignation in
East Tennessee.
This charge the Journal reiterates in
answer to the publication in the Chat
tanooga Times of Knoxville special
in which it is stated that the legisla-
tive Educational Committee held a
meeting behind closed doors to consider
the complaint made against Prof.
Smith. The dispatch says:
THE committee says it does not be-
lieve it has the authority to enter into
political examination of the univer-
sity. 1t says, however, substantially,
that Prof. Smith denies that he in the
political campaign charged all East
Tennesseeans with being assassins. He
told the committee that his speech
made at Columbia October II, and re-
ported in the Nashville American was
reported substantially correct, and un-
der the same circumstances he would
do as he did then, 80 he had nothing
to take back"
The Journal, replying, says that Prof.
Smith was not charged with saying
that all East Tennesseeans were assas-
sins, but declares that he said, 81 had
three brothers assassinated in East Ten
nessee since the war, and the same
crowd that did it still rules there"
The Banner does not propose to en-
ter this unpleasant controversy. 1t re-
fers to the matter merely to give its
readers information, and to make a
pertinent observation that man hold
ing a chair in an educational institu-
tion has no business going upon the
political hustings to champion the
cause of political party. 1t would
be reprehensible enough for professor
in any college or university to go about
the country engaging in hot partisan
debates in a political campaign, but
there is even greater impropriety when
one of the faculty of State educa-
tional institution enters upon active
and aggressive party work. The Jul
versity of Tennessee is not party con-
Germ. 1t is a State institution which
should be kept as free from any politi-
cal agitation or censure as the School
for the Blind or the Tennessee Indus
trial School. Whether the offensive
remarks attributed to Prof. Smith as
partisan political speaker were cor
rectly or incorrectly reported, the i'm
propriety of his engaging in hot par
tisan discussion in political cam
paign is clearly seen. The interests of
the University of Tennessee have GER
tainly not been advanced by his polit
ical activity but on the other hand
there is grave apprehension that the
institution will suffer injury by his
course. Nashville Banner.

The LaraestLighthousoInthew In The World

From tBG Hall A4&4A aH HlEcLte-

Four different kials of apparatus have sIr,aiy been |, sted a. ilIs lightaouss.
 The first comprised oil lamp, witb reflect ore giving s lumilvus ia:e1ssjy of eight

 the second case oil lamps were used with | fixed lenticular apparatus, yielding n can | de power of nineteen thoEEAud, capable | of being seen in clear weather a oisIApce
 of forty-nine snd one half miles The
 third comprised the employment of the
 electric arc light, with Sxsd lsnticuier sp- | parstus, giving an .llEminss!Ol of twenty | four thousand cabdle power. the light hs- Il ing visible fifty seven miles away. In the | fourth case the use of the electric SIC light | was combined with a lsuticalsr fiashing | apparatus, yielding twenty four million | candle power and capable of being seen on 8 clear night no less than one hundred and thirty miles distant. Anew light has, however, now been practically completed at this lighthouse, and this will give q lu. mInous intensity of forty million candle power, and 1t will be the most powerful lighthouse light In the world. As far as
 the electrical spparatus Is concerned, the
 old ragueto mschines have been dispsnsed
 with, and four new generating machines
 have bsen substituted. Thess are two
 continuous current dynsmcs, giving each
 from twenty-five to one hundred amperes
 at a pressure of seventy volts, and two
 new De Meritens alternating current mag
 neto machines, yielding from twenty five
 to one hundred amperes st sn electro-mo-
 tive force of from forty to forty five volts.
 The current yielded by these machines
 will be utilized for producing light in Ser
 rin regulating lamps fitted with oylindri-
 cal carbons. The optical apparatus which has replaced the old fixed lights Is of s
 new type, devised by II. Bourdelles, one of the chief engineers of the Service det Phares, and who was prominent member : at the recent International Maritime con. 3 eress held Tn London This apparatui

THE REAL QUESTION.

The people of the United States are actually waking up to what has been and is going on in the Senate. And they don't think much of 1t. They begin to see that something more important than the silver question Is involved in the performance. The real question now Is not the silver question, weighty as that Is, but the ques. tion whether the majority shall rule, and whether the minority shall prevent legis, letion because it cannot have it's way. In such an emergency it Is pleasing to see our Senator Platt taking the right view of the situation, doing his own duty and try ing to persuade the wrong-headed senators to do theirs. In the debate between Sepa. tors Plstt and Hoar and Senator Teller the other day Senator Platt said: l cannot ss- sent to the very remarkable position which the senator from Colorado (Teller) has taken, which, if understand 1t, Is in plain words this: That if he does not like pro- posed legislation he will not only violate his constitutional duty, but, as 1t seems to me, his constitutional oath. The rules of the senate require that every senator shall vote unless excused, and they require that absent senator's shall be brought here, that their attendance shall be compelled, and, when compelled, the rules require that they shall vote unless excused. I supposed when I swore to support the constitution and to discharge the duties of a senator that constitutional duty rested upon me to observe the rules of the senate. The constitution provides for the rules of the senate, and yet we hesr, ,and kear think for the first time in the history of the gen. ate, the deliberate statement made by a senator that he will not observe the rules of the senate, because he thinks he is in a minority and does not want the majority legislation to pass. It is one of the things which is fast hringing the senate Into dis grace in the United States.
 And Senator Platt added: do net see how any senator can cit in his seat when the roll is called and not answer to his name. remember when I first came to the senate, in the session of 1879, In the heat of party strife one evening, in oom- mon with other senators, did refuse to answer to my name when the roll was called; but, upon reflection, made up my mind that never should again, and I think have never, under any state of e1- citement, done 1t since that time. If I have, it has bssn in my judgment wrong and 1t cannot bs defended. The duty of a senator is to take part in legislation; and taking part in legislation means, smopg other thinss, answering when his nsme is called, to show that he is present voting when the roll is called.
 Senator Plat Is usually on the honest, the right anh the patriotic eide of the questions which arise In the senate. He Is emphsticsl!y So this time. The kind oi action he attacks is bringing the senate into disgrace. It is exasperatlns th, people who cannot understand it. And il is causing the thoughtful to perceive that constitutional government is attacked jus
 where 1t should be surest of support There must be no compromise with thost who are attacking it.

ponR RuC pROSpEROUs.

Awhile ago, when almost every body Ras prosperous, the air was full of the paints of the farmers and t1eir friends. It was constantly announced that while everybody else was making money the poor farmer wasn't even holding his own. Now au- other tune ia sung, and it is discovered that the farmer is ss well off ss anybody and better off than many bodies. Especially is this the case with the western farmer. Mir. George E. Roberts, man who knows how to figure up profit and loss, has been inquiring into the condition of the western farmer. He finds raat he has done pretty we'll In the rise in value of his property. The history of Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, says Hr. Roberts, was a guaranty that 8 good homestead entry of 160 acres west ot the Mississippi would within lifetime be worth moro than the average life savings of mechanic or laborer. And go these cheap lands filled up not simply for the annual profits Of the farm, but to secure the riss-the unesrned increment. Thus the value of the farms In Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan and Wisconsin increased nearly three-fold between 1850 and 1880, and that was 60 much to be added to the visible yearly profits of the farmers in these States during that ten yeara. The same process has been ever since, and Is stillgoing on in other and new. CT States.
 | And these valuable farms are not st hopelessly mortgaged az Is generally sup posed Thus the farmers of Iowa, accord ing to their O VII State auditor, have enough money on deposit in the banks to pay of all their mortgages. The horses on thu Iowa farms, valued ct ST head, would pay of all the farm indebtedness of ths State. While 1t is true enough that tn farmers as class are not so prosperous a perhaps they might have been if som things had been different, the same ma, be said of any class of workers. Farm ms chinery has greatly reduced the cost o production, as other machinery has i other industries. But the prices 0
 farm products have scarcely fallen a
 much as the prices of manufacture
 goods. "In the region of sure crops,
 says Mr. Roberts, 'sths farmers as 8 clas
 are the eafest people in the world to d
 business with, to sell goods to or to loa
 money to-" In proof of this there is tf
 report of the Minnesota Bureau of Lsbo
 which shows that the mortgage sales p
 year amount to only 206 per cent. of tl mortgages in force in the agricultur countries. In conclusion Mr. Rober l quotes the statement of an Iowa farmer
