The omission of three words from

Knoxville, Tenn, Nov. 14.-The SUI
preme conrt of the state of Tennessee in
session in this city rendered two opin-
ions today of far reaching importance
to the people of this city and county.
In both the famous X. G. G. & L.
cases, in which was involved the liabili-
ty in the city for a subscription of
1925, 900 to the stock of that railroad,
and the bridge bond case in which the
validity of the $685. 900 bonds was at
stake, the opinion upheld the lower
courts. The city will not have to pay
the railroad nor are the county bonds

A LASTING DISGRACE.

The county court has determined to
humiliate Washington county. At its
last meeting it voted to rescind o for
mer action providing for an appropria-
tion of $4,000 for county exhibit at
the Nashville centennial next year.
Just why this should be done does
not appear, and the only excuse for it
is found in partisan motives. If Till
man had been elected as the centennial
governor all the east Tennessee coun-
ties would have bankrupted themselves
trying to Guido each other in exhibits |;
but as "Turney stole the state" and
"Taylor was elected by fraud" the
good county of Washington could not
afford to disgrace herself by making an
official display at fair presided over
by a "usurper"l
This is foul shame. The county of
Washington is the mother of the state
and her county site was the first capital
of the state. Yet she has such a paucity
of public enterprise and historic pride
that she can not be represented atqthe
great celebration of the states one hun
dredth anniversary. Is there no way
to rebuke such narrow mossbackismP

GEN. WILDER THE MAN.

What is the matter with Gen. John
T, Wilder of Johnson City, for pension
agent ? 1t is customary for that Office
to be filled by a federal soldier and
there is not man in the south who is
more fitted OF more worthy to occupy
the position than Gen. Wilder, or one
who has to a greater degree the conf
dence of our people. He has been
identified for number of years with
the upward movement of East Tonnes
see and much of its progress is due to
his tireless push and energy. He
served his country in its great hour of
peril bravely and nobly under the stars
and stripes, and while he could have
obtained a pension, as many of his
honorable followers have done, he has
never applied for one. He has stub
bornly refused to accept nomination
and run for office, when plenty of
chances were afforded, because he was
more directly interested in the bust
ness enterprises of his section. The
terrible panic of '93 was too much for
him and like many others he lost all,
but unlike many Others he has never
given up, and now at his age is strug-
Cling with adversely with the pluck
and tenacity of youth. He needs the
Office but it is doubtful now if he would
apply for it, but if given him he would
surely not refuse to take a position SO
closely connected with the old soldier
for whom his rugged heart always beats
warmly. ig'- '
We hope some of our republican
brothers of the press who are not after
the place themselves will make fight
for Gen. Wilder. He is by long odds
the best equipped and most deserving
among those in reach of the position,
Gen. Wilder would honor the position
Give it to him.

THE PASSING OF H. CLAY.

H, Clay Evans, the great republican
martyr of this state is on his lost legs,
and his failure to get into the McKin-
ley cabinet will sink him out of sight
forever.
Few tears will be shed.
Only few Of his sycophants who ex-
pect to profit by his promotion will
care. He is a bombastic, egotistical,
affected, fake statesman, and his cheap
demogogy is too much for the republi-
cans of this state. ff
H. Clay will not get into the cabinet
as long as the long blade Of alabama
Dick" Austin responds to the skill OF
that willy politician. Austin is but the
vanguard, and when he makes bold to
tackle big fake like Il. Clay it can be
safely set down that he knows the
