The large increase in the registration
terday's Eagle is suggestive. 1t means
that people are going 10 vote. 1t means
that the citizen. Of this city, as in other
cities, are going to express another
opinion upon party policies as well as
the individual candidates. 1t i. not rea-
s1neble to suppose that these men went
down 10 the city hall, took an hour or
two from their business 10 kick on dol
lar wheat. 1t wasn't the enthusiastic
rush of Populists who are eager TO say
by registered ballots that they aIe

clare that they are glad they didn't get

didn't pass such a measure. Is this in

Do you hear any Of them crying out in
alarm because the gold reserve IS $780,,
0O0. 900 above the hundred million dollar

On next Tuesday week there will be
five hundred men who last year had
nothing to do but loaf all day at the
polls, take half and hour from their
work, vote, hurry back TO their duties
and go home at night with days
wages. and a good appetite. These are
part OF the men who have increased the
registration. VIII they go up to the
polls and say that the Republican party
is a bossism of monopolies and corpora
tons, producing paupers?
Are these sci newly registered voters
in Wichita tumbling over themselves to

has proven only a nightmare Of sus-
picion, a delirium of prejudice? And
coming nearer home, are they going 10
all this trouble to support a lot of men
who pose formally as opponents of this
fallacy? Are these men running over
each other to endorse the men who
preach the gospel of gloom and base sue
cess upon a failure of the wheat mar
ket?
October of '97 set over against October
of go is an argument that needs no
elaboration, and all this increase of
registration is significant.
Il means that Morris Lloyd, Charley
Simmons, A. VI. Denny, Captain Thatch-
er, A ]. Weaver, ]. r. Moore and
George Harris, individually and for the
principles they represent. will be 50

do everything but reform have had the

Other sores came on my neck and on nv

soon became great running sores. NV

feared this would irritate the sore and
make it worse. Sol

After THE COMET had gone to press
last Thursday three men Mart Correll,
John Clayton and Jack Washburn-
were caught in slide at the Sugar Hol-
low mine, at Embreeville, and entombed
alive. Correll and Washburn were
killed, but Clayton was taken out alive
and will probably recover, 1t was a
most trying ordeal for Clayton, and
that he is still alive is nothing short of
miraculous. When the cave-in occur
red Clayton was forced under one of the
unfortunate men, whose body shielded
Clayton to some extent and probably
saved his life. While thus entombed
Clayton could feel and hear the dying
mans desperate struggles to breathe
The efforts soon ceased, and when
Clayton was rescued it was from under
the dead body of his companion.
Correlps parents live in this city
where his body was brought for inter
ment. Washburn's home was neal

IsHAM G HARRIS.

The death of Senator Isham G, Har-
ris removed striking figure from the
arena of national politics, one whose
ideas of personal integrity We're as old
fashioned and straight-laced as his ideas
of party fealty, and who didn't have
one set of ideas for public use and
another set to govern his private ac-
tions. During his half century of pub
lie life, Mr.. Harris was n credit to his
state and to the democratic party, and
was never guilty of an act that even his
most bitter political enemy-he had no
personal enemies could cast suspicion
upon. For twenty years he has repre-
sented the people of Tennessee in the
United States senate, and how thor
oughly we'll he did his duty a whole ma
ton can bear witness. He was posses
sed of a Spartan like devotion to what
ever causes he espoused, and only his
opponents know how impossible it was
to defeat him in what he conceived tC
be right. He was man of spotless in
tegrity, undaunted character and gener
GUS impulses, and with all the state W,
mourn the loss of one of TENNESSEE
most illustrious and bravest and bes
sons. Having said that much, it il
needless to add that Senator Harris
died "a poor man.

Marbleton, Tenn, July 9, ~

MArDleIOu, lenu., July y, VI.
Mr.. J. T. Essary, Knoxville, Tenn:
Dear Sir-Your esteemed favor of re-
cent date was duly received some days
since Your information in regard to
my views on calling o convention was
not well founded, as | am very decidedly
in favor of the call.
/ hold that no people will long re-
main free who are too cowardly or too
Indifferent to revise their organic law
every twenty or thirty years. AS a
matter of fact our constitution has not
been materially changed for sixty-three
years, aud the people are dominated by
all kinds of trusts, rings and greedy
corporations.
Your ideas and mine in regard to pro-
tecting the taxpayers of the state are as
wide apart as the north and south poles.
The very reason-the chiefest reason
why favor convention is to save the
taxpayees from the load of taxes now
saddled on them unjustly by our anti
quated constitution and our supreme
court interpretations of it. The world
renowned oracle at Delphos was not
more uncertain in meaning than our
organic law, if we accept all of our su-
prem6iSourt reports as the law of the
state. A wise and patriotic convention
can save the people each year vastly
more money than the whole cost of a
convention. Very truly yours,
M. T. PEBBLES.

Wabbling William" is the rather
uncomplimentary name that has been
applied to Mr.. Mckinley by prominent
members Of his party, because Of his
lightning changes of mind in connee-
ton with that special message to con-
gress asking for authority to appoint q
currency commission. One day he wuold
tell the prominent members of his party
who called to protest against his sending
in the message at this session that he
had made up his mind to withhold it
until the regular session and make the
recommendation in his annual message.
but the next day, when the agents of
the banking interests put the screws to
him and reminded him of his campaign
promises and their campaign contribu-
tions, he announced to them that the
message should go in. He kept this up
for several days, much to the disgust
of those who applied the epithet OF
"Wabbling William" to him, and did
not finally decide the matter until Sec
rotary Gage, the personal representa-
tive of the bankers, had secured the
assistance Of the rest of the cabinet to
help brace his backbone up.

The democratic senators and repre-
sentatives who are members of the con
ference committee on the tariff bill
know no more of what the committee is
doing than the rankest outsider does.
The republicans informed them as soon
as the conference begun that they de-
sired to fight their differences out among
themselves without having anybody else
present, and, of course, the democrats
retired and will remain out of the con-
ference until sent for. The republicans
evidently regard Jones, of Nevada, as
one of themselves, as he not only was
not asked to retire but is taking very
prominent part in the conference as an
able assistant to Senator Aldrich in
championing the interests of the sugar
trust. 1t is said the republicans expect
to reach an agreement by the middle OF
the week if they do, the tariff bill will
become law by the end of the week,
and congress will adjourn at once.
