Assignment Law UncOnstitutIonaI.
The supreme court of Tennessee has
declared the general assignment law,
passed by the legislature of 1895, to be
unconstitutional. This was anticipated,
but nevertheless cuts quite figure in
several big assignments recently made
in the State. The case on trial was the
Third National Bank of Knoxville VS.
the Divine Grocery Company of Hamil-
ton county. The bill was filed attack
ing deeds of trust filed by the Divine
Grocery Company and involved the con-
stitutionality of the general assignment
act of 1895. If the act was valid, cer-
tain preferences were given that were
not lawful. The act was declared to be
unconstitutional and of no effect. The
deeds were held not invalid, and the de-
cree of the court of chancery appeals
reversed this and the bill dismissed
with Costs

TO SUCCEED FRANCIS.
WeSterners Hoping That They May
BE Saved From Another
H0Ixe Smith

Washington, Dec. 16.-(Special) Western
men are deeply interested in the question
as to who will succeed Secretary Francis
in the interior department under the Nc
Kinley administration. Hoke Smith never
learned to understand the needs of the
growing and but partially populated sec
tions of the West, but Francis in the short
time that he has filled the office has shown
that he is fairly appreciative of these great
interests and would probably have made
signal success as secretary. 1t is hoped
by Western members that Mckinley will
not repeat the fatal error of Cleveland by
appointing a Southern man. Payne, of
Wisconsin. will probably go into the cab
met, and it is likely will be appointed eth
er to the postmaster generalship or the in
terror department Western representa-
tves say he would prove eminently salts
factory to them in the latter position To-
day the California delegation in congress
met and resolved to recommend Horace
Davis, of their state, for the interior de-
partment, and this action is thought likely
to exercise a great deal of influence on the
president-elect, who is desirous of filling
one of the cabinet places with a man from
the Pacific coast, if one can be agreed
upon. Davis is president of the California
university, and is represented as well quail
flied to discharge the duties of the office
Next to Payne, he will probably prove ac-
ceptable to most of those interested in leg
islation for the development of the re-
sources of the West.

M'KINLEY OFF FOR CHICAGO.
VIII Remain Until Next Week and
Then Accompany His Wife
Back to Cnnton

Canton, o.. Dec. 16-MaJor Mckinley is
on his way to Join his wife at the home
of her cousins. the McWilliams. in Chicago,
as fast as a limited train can carry him.
He left Canton at 9:25 this evening, accom-
panied by Captain II. o. Heestand, national
committeeman; Charles G. Dawes, who re-
mained over TO accompany the president
elect. and the special newspaper men who
have been stationed here for months. These
newspaper men were so numerous that
the railroads were obliged to supply spe-
ciaI extra car to supply orders for berths,
although Major Mckinley's only prepara-
tion was an order for berth on the regu-
lar train. ---
The major drove to the depot shortly be-
fore train time and remained in the family
carriage until the train pulled into the
station. Then he led the party TO the
coach and at the door met his brother, Alb
ner, who had come on, from Pennsylvania
to join the president-eleCt during the Chi.
cagO visit.
Major McKinley's object in going to Chi
cago is to find rest and change, and it is
his intention TO do as little as possible and
be quiet as he can. He is almost sure
TO remain over Sunday. How late into
next week he stays in the Illinois metropo-
lis depends entirely on the degree of quiet
and rest he secures.

Is good enough to command premium the
commissioners of the school fund cannot

Il therefore suggest that the law relating
TO the investment of the permanent school
funds be changed to as to remedy this evil
EITHER permit the schol fund commissions
ers to pay premium for good bonds or
else make 1t absolutely obligatory upon the
county commissioners of counties town.
ship officers. boards of education and mu-
nlclpal officers to sell their bonds TO the
school fund commissioners. The cOnsti-
tuition provides that the permanent school
fund shall never be diminished. This be-
ing the case, if the law is so changed to
allow the school fund commissioners to
pay premium for extraordinarily good
bonds. the law should provide that the
amount of premiums paid should be drawn
out of the annual interest fund instead
of the permanent school fund itself
Perhaps better remedy would be to
destroy premiums on bonds altogether by
authorizing all municipalities about to is
sue bonds to sell them to the parties agree
ing to take them at the lowest rate of in
terest. Let the competitive bidding be as
to how low the interest shall be instead of
how high price the bonds shall bring
This would enable the schol fund to have
the best securities by simply carrying them
at a lower rate of interest"
