which delights the souls of Washingtonians

gone. going from the best to the cheaper

let down their gripsacks from the windows

THE Maxwell, the Nichol-
son and the Duncan Hotels,
of Nashville, have served
long enough as the Govern
or's Mansion" The state of
Tennessee should have a
home of its own for its Gov
ernor. Among the thousands
OF visitors, from different
parts of the Union, who will
no doubt attend the Tennes-
see Centennial, perhaps some
will ask, "where is the Gov
ernor's Mansion?" They
will be surprised when they
learn that Tennessee's chief
executive is domiciled at a
hotel.

WHO WOULD SUCCEED HlM2

While there is no one in Tennes-
see who does not wish Senator Har-
ris a speedy recovery and a long
lease of life, the question of his sue
cessor has been agitating the pub
lie mind in this and other States,
and especially around Washington,
where the venerable senator is such
a conspicuous figure. The Wash
ington correspondent of the Atlanta
Constitution is of the opinion that
Hon. Benton McMillin would receive
the toga, and no doubt this is the
opinion of the Tennessee colony at
the national capital. McMillin has
seen much public service and is
equipped as are few men for the re-
sponsible position of senator, but
ability and experience do not always
secure preferment from capricious
public or from the representatives of
that public in the legislature. AT the
present time McMilIin would be at a
disadvantage. He is not intimate
enough with many of the members
of the present Legislature and, living
so long in Washington, he is looked
upon as being more or less an outsi-
der. This is one of the many penal
ties which public men pay for the
prominence which they enjoy. With
the younger members of the present
Legislature Hon. E. w. Carmack
would be a favorite. His dashing
and pyrotechnic style has given him
a wide prominence and his defeat by
Col. Patterson has aroused consid-
cradle sympathy, but it is not proba-
bic that he could rally enough sup
porters to secure him the prize. The
most eligible and fortunately situa-
ted possibility is Gov. Taylor. He
has just come through a heated cam
paign VIGOROUSLY. He reorganized
the Democratic forces, that were con-
fused and scattered, and in the con-
test which ensued he drew near to !
him every Democrat interested in /
politics, and he is regarded as the
real leader and commanding general. I
Gov. Taylor would in all probability
be chosen to succeed Senator Harris
in the event OF the latter's death.
This would make speaker Thompson
governor and would be satisfactory
all around.-Commercial Appeal.

THE President has signed
upon the recommendation Of
the Secretary of the Interior
an order reducing the num-
Der of Pension Agencies in
the United States from eigh=
teen to nine. The object OF
the order is to save expense
to the government, without
mountaineering pensioners.
Under this order, the Knox
vile Office will be abolished,
and pensioners who have
heretofore received checks
from that office will be paid
direct from Washington.

A BILL has passed the Ten
nessee legislature abolishing
the Office of Superintendent
of the Capitol. and imposing
said duties upon the Land
scape Gardner. In view of
the fact that there were more
than 300 applicants for the
position of Superintendent of
the Capitol IAN appointment
to be filed by the chief exec
utive Of the state) Gov. Tay-
lor no doubts feels relieyed.
But, while the Governor is
relieved---of embarrassment,
are the tax payers relieved to
any great extent? Not much.
Such reforms are insignifi=
cant. Train your guns on

you will strike the root of
the evil.
