THE FUNERAL SERVICES.
Formal Ceremony Over the Remains in
the Senate.

Formal Ceremony over the Remains in
the Senate.
WAsHINGToN, July lot falls to
the lot of few men to be hOnOred
both in life and death as was Senator
Harris; and nothing could remind
one more of this fact than the scene
this morning in the United States
Senate chamber. 1t was in this
chamber that he earned the hOnOrs
of his life, and here, too, the most
signal honors were paid to the
statesman in death. His funeral
was a great local and national event.
The Senate chamber was adorned
just as it would have been had the
occasion been to do honor to the
proudest hero of the nation. Along
the walls were rows of palm trees,
and in every recess was some grow
ing plant.
The body having been brought
from the late residence of the Sem
ator, remained in the marble room
until II a. m, great many of those
who visited the room bringing with
them beautiful floral offerings.
Promptly at IL o'clock the captain
of the Capitol police and a dozen of
the police staff bore the coffin from
the marble room into the Senate
chamber around by the west cor
ridor and through the south door.
In the semi-circular area, i'm
mediately in front of the presiding
officer, stood the casket, resting on
heavy black draped pedestals and
literally buried in floral offerings.
The casket was covered with black
broadcloth with heavy oXidized
silver trimmings and on the plate
was inscribed.

THE ONLY REMEDY.
Our Constitution Must he Chang ed 10
Reduce Expenses.

Our Constitution Must he Changed To
Reduce Expenses.
Here are some questions concern
ing the constitutional convention.
which it would be profitable for the
taxpayers of Tennessee TO study:
The question whether we shall
have Il constitutional convention is
not party question. But if it were,
we would point to the fact that it
was submitted by democratic
legislature and signed by Il demo-
cratic governor.
But it is not party question. 1t
is "a question addressed to every
citizen of Tennessee.
Do you want low taxes?
Do you want to reduce the e Y
penses of your state?
Do you want to paw salaries to
double the number of judges needed
in Tennessee?
Do you want to reduce the Grim
inal costs of the state?
Do you want to extend the
Jurisdiction of justices of the peace
SO as to enable them to dispose of
hundreds of criminal cases without
the expense of a grand jury and
court trial?
Do you ever want to get rid Of the
indebtedness of S9OOO,OOJ bonded
debt of the state?
If 50, you will have to reduce eX-
penses. Our state has just had to
borrow S3j0,OO0 to pay interest on
our state debt and certain expenses,
while the taxes of the people are
higher than any state ia the South.
Still we must borrow money to pay
our running expenses 1t is time
the people were taking the matter
in hand. Legislatures can afford no
relief. If they try to, the supreme
court declares the act uncOn-
stitutional. Let's have a sensible
constitution. and one in keeping
with the times.--Clarksville Leaf

Following is one of the numerous
stories now being published of Ten
hessee's late Senator, lsham c..
Harris:
He was the war Governor Of
Tennessee, aud his life during that
strife was one Of incident, aud ad-
venture. When Lincoln wanted
troops he wired Harris:
"'WAR DEPARTMENT, WASHING

leucy, Isham c. Harris, Governor
of Teunessee-Call made on You by
to-night's mail for two regiments of

"'SNIoN CAMERON.

1T was evident that Lincoln did
not know what hOt-blOOded
Southerner Harris was, but he knew
it when he received Harris reply,
which was:

coercion, but 10000 il necessary for

Chicago. May 15.-Judge Gibbons
rendered a decision today declaring
the American Tobacco company an il
legal corporation and prohibiting its
agents from carrying on its business in
this state. The decision sustains the
information filed last December by At
torney-General Maloney. asking that
the American Tobacco company be en-
joined from selling paper cigarettes on
the premise that it was an illegal trust,
monopoly and conspiracy in the bust
ness in question.
The defendants filed demurrers, gen.
eral and special, but each was over
ruled in the exhaustive opinion handed
down today. The representatives of
the American Tobacco company gave
notice of an appeal 10 the Illinois su-
preme court.
The announcement of the decision
til after closing hours on the
Stock Exchange. The plea of the
attorney general alleged that the
American Tobacco company manufac-
lures and sells 80 per cent of all the
paper cigarettes manufactured in the
United States, and the combination is
in restraint of trade.
Inc company llleu d Scileldl uclilui
rer the main contention being that the
state of Illinois is powerless to restrain
a foreign corporation from shipping
any article of commerce from one state
TO another or from distributing or SELL
ing such article in the state to which
the shipment is made.
This proposition Judge Gibbons dis
cusseS at length. The court said that,
admitting the facts alleged as to the
business of the company and the man
ner in which it is carried on to be true,
the question is whether it falls under
the ban of outlawry, pronounced
against trusts by the federal and state
statutes.
The court said that a close investi
cation of the decisions of the United
States supreme court leads to the con-
clusion that the power of self-preserva-
ton is inherent in statehood. This
gives the state the power TO pass and
enforce any law which is necessary
and indispensable to the preservation
and conservation of public health.

necessary. All reports were encCurag-

a substitute for the finance committee
bill but 10 propose amendments which.
while they Will reduce the rates would,
if added to the rates of the wilson law,
produce sufficient revenue to meet the
demands of the government
They regard the committees bill as a
revenue producer and calculate that with
out the proposed beer taxes and tariff
duty it would bring surplus into the
treasury
On the other hand, they regard the
house bill as nearly prohibitive on many
of the schedules. and think that on this
account it would be deficient IN the pro-
ductiOn of revenue. The Democratic
members are especially critical of the
sugar glass and wool schedules, and eX-
pect TO offer amendments on all of them
None of the amendments have been
formulated
