The Right Man In the Right Place.

Governor Bob Taylor is pre-eminent-
ly the right man in the right place as
Governor of Tennessee during the Cen
tennial year Who else in all the state
could meet our distinguished visitors
with more grace and ease, and welcome
them in more eloquent words than Bob
Taylor? His few peevish enemies as
sail him "M he does or if he don't" as a
general thing, but in respect to his
honoring the state, as a man and an
official during this time of celebration,
they are bound to be silent, or admit
he is 'the only pea in the dish. >

The republican Senators and Rep
resentatives have succeeded in convinc-
ing Mr.. Mckinley that something must
be done for their office-seeking constit-
uents, and he has promised to shortly
issue an executive order removing a
number of desirable federal positions
from the control of the civil service
rules. Mr.. Mckinley was not hard to
convince, as he has been as anxious az
anybody to let down the bars to the Of
fees, but, having always posed as q
civil service reformer, he wanted con
gress to order him to act. There are
reasons substantial, too-why on,
gress haf not done 80, and is not likly
to do so; hence his agreement to &C

The authority to appoint a currency
commission will not be given to Mr..
Mckinley at this session of Congress,
nor at the next. 1t is possible that a
bill creating such commission may be
passed at the next session, but it will
not give Mr.. Mckinley the choosing OF
its members. If there is to be such 8
commission, the silver democrats will
see to it that it shall not be packed in

CHICAGO STOCKS AFFECTED.
Break In Securities of Which He Was
Holder-His Successor.

Mr.. Pullman's death affected the Chi
cago stock market quite appreciably.
He was said to have been a heavy
holder Of both Diamond Match and
New York Biscuit securities. two of the
most active stocks listed on the local
exchange. When the announcement
of Mr.. Pullman's death was posted on
the bulletin board il caused a break in
the latter stock of 3A points. A break
of 6 points in Pullman Palace Car
stock was chronicled on Wall street
but a rally followed.
The death of Mr.. Pullman. besides
leaving a vacancy in the Pullman Din
ing Car directorate also causes q SIM
liar condition of affairs in the board Of
directors of the Chicago Telephone
company. He was represented in the
New York Biscuit company and Dia-
mond Match company by his son-in-
law, Frank Louden.
It is believed in local stock exchange
circles that Horace Porter will sue
coed Mr.. Pullman as president of the
Pullman Palace Car company.
Ndr. Pullman's fortune is variousIy
estimated from 5000. 600 TO $40. O00. 900

THE PULLMAN SYSTEM.
Plans For It's Future Revealed By Its
Originator.

New York, Oct 19.-Mr. Pullman was
in this city on Friday last, and while
discussing with business associates
plans for distributing part of the Pull
man colnpany's surplus, talked freely
OF the great system which bears his
name. He laid especial emphasis on the
complete organization which existed,
and, as if with some thought of retir-
ing from active management, alluded
particularly 10 Vice President Wicke's
ability to carry on the business in a
perfectly satisfactory way. Mr.. Pull
man seemed to believe that the internal
workings Of his company had finally
been brought to such perfection that
his own supervision was not necessary
to ensure the continuance of its in
creasing prosperity,
Those to whom Mr. Pullman talked in
this strain on Friday recalled his words
today, and discussed the strange sig
nifieance. It is well known that during
the last two years nearly all the imp0r-
tant contracts Of the Pullman company
with the railroads have been renewed
under long terms and favorable condi-
tons, and II was chiefly the completion
of this task that led Mr.. Pullman TO
believe that the zenith of his company
had been reached. The only matter,
which IN Mr.. Pullman's mind, remained
unsettled, was the distribution Of the
$25. 000, 600 of surplus, which, it is said,
has accumulated during recent years.
Plans for the distribution Of this sur
plus have been frequently discus-,d,
the one most Professionally urged beng
the doubling of the stock. Mr. Pull
man was opposed 20 this, and author
ity was recently invested in him to ar
range a plan to settle the matter. 1t is
believed here that within the last few
