DO a supreme Court Justice.
Judge Howell e. Jackson, Of the
United States circuit court for the
sixth judicial circuit, has been
appointed by President Harrison
to succeed Che late Justice Il, Q. G.
Lamar on the bench Of the Supreme
Court Of the United States.
The nomination came as a great
surprise to both branches Of Con-
gress, and was received Thursday
Of last week while the Senate was
in executive session. There was
Ino,comment made on the floor, but
the Republicans gathered about in
little groups to discuss it. With
the exception Of few, who think
the President should have appoint
ed Republican, the nomination
was we'll received. There will be,
it is said, little if any opposition to
his confirmation.
Judge Howell Z. jackson was
born at Paris, Tenn, April s, 1882,
and is the son Of the late Dr.. A.
Jackson. He graduated from the
West Tennessee College at Jackson
in 1S49, after which he entered the
University Of Virginia, graduating
with high honors.
He read law and graduated from
the Lebanon Law School in 1856.
He began the practice of law at
Jackson and subsequently moved to
Memphis, where he formed part
nership with Hon, David M. Currin.
He met with much success in the
practice Of his profession. When
the late war broke out Judge Jack
son was appointed receiver under
the Confederate sequestration act
for West Tennessee.
At the close of the war he re-
turned to Memphis and resumed
the practice of law, forming apart
nership with Judge B. M. Estee
Subsequently Judge Ellet was adj
mitted to the firm. In 1874 Judge
jackson removed to Jackson and
there formed a partnership with
General Alexander w. Campbell
He practiced law there until 1880,
when he was selected by the Dem
ocrats to represent Madison County
in the general assembly.
He became a leading member in
this body, and was elected United
States Senator to succeed James e.
Bailey, and took his seat March 4
1881. In the United States Senate
he at once distinguished himself as
Mt a capable law-maker. He attained

f, ABUSE OF A BAD SYSTEM.
The Fee system and its Akonilnations have
Become Reproach.


Become Reproach.
Nashville Banner
The abuse of the fee system in
Tennessee has thoroughly aroused
the people to an appreciation Of the
necessity for reform. The system
with lis denominations becomes a
reproach not only in this State, but
ii is discussed in other States as an
odious system to be avoided. Says |
the st. Louis Republic:
Not long ago thegeneral assembly
Of Tennessee passed an act giving
county assessorsaper centage Of the
assessed value Of property as fee.
The act IA most extraordinary and
dangerous absurdity is still, we
believe, a part of the Tennessee stat
utes.
1t has one use in illustrating the
dangers Of the entire fee system.
1t was bride offered by the State
itself to induce assessors to do what
they were unwilling to do on their
consciences under their oaths Of Of
fee. The State deliberately at
tempted to corrupt the integrity Of
its own servants by allowing them
to increase Assessments at will and
making the amount Of their own
remunerationdependo on theamount
of injustice done to their neighbors.
y We believe that it is the
worst policy to pay any public ser
want in fees. But certainly no one
who has anything to do with the adj
ministration of justice in any way
whatever should be allowed to re-
ceiye fee.
We know Of town constable who
received fees on every prisoner carr
ried to the county seat. To get the
fees he made habit of lying in
wait for passing tramps and sad
ding the expense of keeping them
in prison on the taxpayers Of the
county merely for the sake Of get
ting his fees. This was bad enough
but the injustice Of arresting poor
and utterly defenseless strangerand
of throwing him into jail, perhaps
for months, for such q purpose, was
simply villainous. Yet the villainJ
was that Of the system. The fees he
got probably persuaded the Officer
that he was doing Gods service.
Whether the State or the fedora
government sunder consideration
it would be easy to write volumes OF
the injustices that men who are no
essentially bad have been induced
to commit to get fees. The Stat
will be happy that is able to wip
out every vestige of the system.

The testimony Of one or two homework
ers before the Ways and Means Com
mittee is somewhat astonishing to those
who have intelligence above the Ordi-
nary.
They testified that If the tariff were
reduced wages would have to be re-
duced
We do not know how long they have
been iron-workerS, but they must
know that their wages have been going
down ever since the war while the tariff
has been steadily going up. Recently,
under the highest protective tariff ever
known-tbe present Mckinley tariff
the iron-workers' wages received an
other cut.
Nailers who received from $50 to 500

wages their feeders used to get. Com
petition in the labor market brought
about this enormous reduction re-
duction that occurred under the highest
tariff 10 the world, tariff that has since
been raised to an average Of 60 per
cent

PRESS COMMENT.
Senator Faulkner Score, One For West
Virginia,


Virginia,
From PhitfpDi PldindsOIsr.
West Virginia is no small star in the
political armament OF to-day, and new
brightness was set ablazs by the Hon.
C. ]. Faulkner, who addressed the
Senate on Friday last on the situation
as il presents itself to-day. New ideas
as to the cause of the stagnation Of
BUSINESS were presented, and they were
logical, too. The ground taken oy
West Virginia'S able Senator was a
medium between the two extremes on
the monetary question, and his views
met with approval on all sides. The
Senator believes in the white metal as
we'll as gold as circulating medium,
and while it may be considered COM
promise by some,it was intended by the
Senator as the true policy Of the Demo
cratic party to keep faith with the
pledges, it being the only reasonable
solution of the question as II
now presents itself. BY the policy out
lined by Senator Faulkner, gold and sill
yer will be kept on parity, and the ma
tions Of the world will be given to un-
derstand that the gold producing coun-
tries will not be allowed to dictate
American policies. We regret that our
limited space prevents the publication
of the Senator's speech, but az an early
day they will be az this Office for distri-
button.
