A GREAT SUCCESS.

The recent change made by the New York Weekly World in issuing two papers a week in place of one is meeting with great favor.
 The people appreciate the change, and are taking advantage of 1t.
 Why pay S1 year for weekly paper when you can get the Now York World twice week for the same price?
 Keep informed of what is going on in the world, and particularly in your own coun- try. Congress is now ln session.. Every movement will be of the greatest interest. Keep abreast of the times by reading the Twice a. Week World-two papers week 104 papers year for only S1.

Gov. HENRY L. MITCHELL of Florida has revoked the order he made accepting the acquisition papers of the Governor of Texas for MT. Flagler. He says that the papers were in due form, the copy of the indictment found by the grand jury of Texas was attached to the requisition, and it.was set forth that Flagler was fugitive from the justice of the State of Texas. But subsequently, MT. Flagler fled an affidavit stating that he had never been in Texas and never had any business transactions there. Hence the warrant was revoked in order to give him hearing.

THE South pays annually about S30, 900, GOO to the pension list. Nearly all these pensioners reside in the North. They re- ceive the money and pay it out in their respective communities.

CONGRESSMAN PHILLIPS of Pennsylva- nia has introduced q bill providing for the appointment of a labor commission. His idea is that the country is not yet ready for law on the many industrial issues, as the best form of remedy is not yet apparent. He therefore proposes in his bill that commission of experts shall consider the many plans of reform proposed and ascer- tain the most feasible legislation to be recommended to Congress. MT. Phillips is so we'll satisfied of the merits of his bill that he offers to give S250, 1000 to defray the expenses of it's provisions if Congress will pass 1t. Let Congress pass the bill and establish precedent. Then in the future no Congressman can expect to have his bill passed unless he pays for it. This will stop good deal of useless legislation and increase tho gold reserve of the treasury.

POLITICS in Tennessee can get hotter, and get hotter quicker, than in any other State ip the Union. The State debt settlement disrupted the Democratic party, set brother against brother and let in a Republican Governor. Nor have the wounds of that conflict healed in the eight or ten years that have elapsed. Again the State is boiling hot. It was thought when the face of the returns showed the election of Evans, Republican candidate for Governor, that the matter was settled and be would take his seat. But the State Democratic Executive Committee met and decided to make contest The committee contend that the Republicans in East Tennessee have violated the election law by voting without paying poll tax, falsifying returns and using illegal ballots. The contest will come up before the Legislature. Already dozen Democratic members have de- clared their intention of supporting Evans.

the victory. which was not what might
be termed an important one. The
trading indicated nothing particularly

prices. The feeling, however. was very
steady, the considerations affecting if
being an unusually good cash de-
