Senator Harris, who, by the way,
will probably be able to get away on
his trip to Biloxi, Miss, next Sunday
or Monday, is wondering what degree
Of intelligence is now necessary in some
of the counties of Tennessee for cleo
ton to office. When you read letter
he received the other day, and which ]
propose to give below, you will wonder
with him. 1t appears that the writer
was elected tax assessor for his county,
the name of the men and the county, in
kindness and pity for the people who
elected him and the man himself, being
purposely omitted. Having been elected
and installed in the office, he found
himself in need of tax digest. There
fore he sat down and addressed letter
to "Mr. Isom G. Harris, at Nashville.
in the letter he said:
"Mr. Comptroller Harris Pleas Send
me Tax Digeste for I Wante to assess
the Taxes for our Countey, for have
Nothin but the law, CANT get any law
at L and so j Wante to ask you to
Pleas Sende me one By Return mail.
Yours truly, etc"
Here, then, is man elected to an
important office who doesn't know the
/ a = J I Il
state, nor does he seem to be aware of
the fact that Isham G.. Harris has not
lived in Tennessee for twenty years and
not in Nashville for quarter of cen
tury. The thing seems so incredible
that must add, in support of my
varacity, that the letter was actually
received. Washington correspondent

You can not eat your cake and keep
1t too. From this text the Nashville
Christian Advocate breaches this whole
some and forceful sermon. "This
homely proverb needs to be repeated
very vigorously in the ears of the
American people. They are naturally
sanguine and hopeful, Heretofore they
have found it comparatively easy to
make comfortable living. As re-
suit of this fact they have fallen into
extravagant habits, spending both the
dollar that they have and the one that
they hope to get. Hereafter the con-
ditions are going to be more difficult.
Thrift is becoming q necessity. The
fact may as we'll be recognized. The
men and women who despise economy
as something small and mean are bound
to go to the wall. We wish to say
especially to the young folks who are
just starting in life, that if they expect
to be comfortable and happy in their
old age, they must learn betimes the
hard lesson of self-denial. Not for one
moment would we encourage them to
be niggardly on stingy, but we beg
them to be prudent and provident. The
rainy day is sure to come"
That thrift is becoming a necessity
in this country is lesson that the peo-
pie will be forced to learn. The boom
days are over; money will not again be
made so rapidly; margins are closer,
profits are smaller, wages are lower.
Extravaganza which has been charac-
terlstic of the American people and at
which other people have wondered,
mustgive way to economy. The changed
and changing conditions will enforce
economy, thrift, or suffering and want
will follow. This is comparatively q
new country, but it is reaching the
point the older countries long since
reached where industry will avail, but
little.useless attended by economy, thrift
and an intelligent understanding Of
how to utilize and save. No country is
so extravagant as this in the manner ol
food and dress. More is wasted il
| American kitchens throuoh wanton ax
travagance and ignorance of the scienc,
of cooking, than would be required tt
maintain the French people in comfort
Enough money is spent in this country
for tobacco and whiskey and beer t,
feed all the people. Necessity will ye
force this country to learn the value 0
economy, of saving, of self-denial.

Farming Methods in Japan.

Japan is one vast garden and as you
look over the fields you can imagine
that. they are covered with toy farms
where the children are playing with
the laws of nature and raising samples
of different kinds of vegetables and
grains. Everything is on diminutive
scale, and the work is as fine and
accurate as that applied to Cloisonne
vase. What would a farmer of this
country think of planting his corn,
wheat, oats and barley in lunches and
then when it is three or four inches
high, transplanting every spear of it in
rows about as far apart as you can
stretch your fingers? A Japanese farm
er weeds his wheat fields just as Con-
necticut farmer weeds his onion bed,
and cultivates his potates and barley
with as much care as a Long Island
farmer bestows upon his asparagus and
mushrooms or his flowers.

For Young Married People.

Try to be satisfied to commence on a
small scale.
Try not to look at richer homes and
covet their costly furniture.
Try to cultivate the normal courage
that will resist the arrogance of fash
ion.
Try being perfectly independent
from the first, and shun debt in all its
forms.
Try to avoid the too common mis-
take of making an unwise effort to "be-
gin where the parents ended. "
Try going step further, and visit
the homes of the suffering poor when
secret dissatisfaction is liable to spring
up.
Try to be cheerful in the family cir
Gle. no matter how annoying may be
the business cares and the housekeep-
ing trials.
Try to cooperate cheerfully in ar
ranging the family expenses and share
equally in any necessary seh-denials

Try buying all that is necessary to
work with skillfully, while adorning
the house at first with simply what will
render it comfortable.

Gov. Lowndes, of Maryland, admits
that as farmer he has been complete

POLICY OF THE PRESIDENT.
Southern Applicants for Position
Find Themselves in a Hole.
No Tennessean Will be Elevated to the Reg
isterY Of the Treasury-Pie to be Post
nOned for the Present.


pOned for the Present,
Washington, March 2O.-The presi-
dent laid down a policy today in regard
to the distribution of patronage that is
considered by southern applicants for
the big national plums as the unkind-
est cut of all. Senator Prichard, who
has been to the treasury department
and presented the claims of H. P.
Cheatham, once the only negro repre-
sentative from the south in congress,
for the position of registry of the treas
ury, saw Mckinley later in behalf of
his man, who is backed up by the en-
tire North Carolina delegation in con-
gress. The president then seized the
opportunity to impress Pritchard, for
the enlightenment of the southern re-
publicans generally, that he proposed
to limit each southern state, be it dem
ocratic, republican, or promising to be
republican to appointment from among
the large national offices at his disposal
He said also that if certain southern
states secured better plums than others
under this system it twould be the result
of the states themselves in presenting
candidates lacking the necessary quail
fcations for the more important federal
positions.
This ruling is construed to mean that
the states of Tennessee and Arkansas,
which have already secured high recog-
milton in the appointments of H. Clay
Evans and Powell Clayton, may rest
assured that such offices as register Of
the treasury beseiged by Tennessee ap-
plicants, will not go to Tennessee.
1t means also that when the southern
pie brigade have solved the difficult
problem of uniting on man for impor-
tant national office he must have the
necessary qualification in the Judgment
of Mckinley or be turned down. This
is considered knockout blow to the
southern combine of national commit
teemen.
Representative Brownlow saw the
president today. Brownlow stated to
the Sun correspondent that the presi-
dent had just given him the information
that no federal patronage except to fill
vacancies by resignation, wonld be dis
tributed in Tennessee until the disposal
of the tariff bill by congress.

SOME STATISTICS.
As to the Number of Legislative Bills Passed
and Pending,

AS GO Jne NumDer OF Legislative Bills RAISED
and Pending,
Here are some statistics regarding
the work done by the legislature up to
the close of the fifty-second day (Fri,

Number of bills introduced in the
house, 653,
Number of bills introduced in the
senate, about 460.
Number of house bills that have
passed both houses, 80.
Number of senate bills that have
passed both houses, 27.
This makes q total of 152 bills that
have become laws, or which only await
the governors approval to go into effect.
Number of house bills now pending
in the senate, 45.
Number of senate bills now pending
in the house, A.
Number of house bills rejected in the
senate, 5.
Number Of senate bills rejected or Ia
bled by the house, 19.
Number of house bills rejected or ta-

Number of house bills now on clerk 8

larger than usual at this time. The to-
tai number of bills passed by the last
assembly was only about 1885,
1t is probable that before this legis-
lature adjourns there will be another
hundred more laws added to the list of
those already passed.

gin to show evidences of the strain they
