The death of Judge Holman, of In

Senator Voorhees,, another distinguish

felt by the old-timers in Congress.
Notwithstanding his fame as an objector
to bills carrying appropriations he be-
lieved to be unnecessary, no member
of the House had more personal friends.
That he valued the good will of his as
sociates was strikingly shown several
years ago. He was very poor and when

Giant see-Saw at the Centennial.

The novel feature of the Nashville
centennial will be giant see-saw. 1t
is to be erected on Vanity Fair on a 25
foot terrace, the heighth of the tower
from foundation to center pin being
100 feet. On this center pin rests a
truss beam 200 feet in length; attached
to either end is car with a capacity of
fifty people. The machinery is located
at the top of the tower, consisting Of a
specially made motor driving the gear
ing on Is foot arc. This see-saw will
be quite an interesting feature of the
centennial, not only from its novelty,
but from mechanical standpoint.
From its cars can be seen all the points
of interest around the city, such as the
Hermitage, the home of Andrew Jack
son, Belle Meede, Tennessees famous
stock farm and the old forts and battle
field of Nashville. 1t is proposed to
build large pavilion under the tower
where band or music will be stationed
and where dancing parties may have
use of the floor.

office since 1869, was duly inducted-
In his inaugural address Governor Atkin-

f. not opposed to corporations. one would
suppose, judging only from his statements
in the same address, that his Democratic
opponents were entirely antagonistic to
corporations as such; which is an idea SO
wide of the fact as TO nearly carry its
own refutation. He assumed that, in the
late campaign. the Democratic party had
prosecuted incorporated institutions, and
crusaded against rich men. OF course it
did nothing OF the kind
Legitimate corporate bodies, claiming
apd attempting TO exercise no more than
their legal and proper power and in
flucnce, are no more obnoxious to party
or public policy than any other form Of
business organization or activity 1t is
when they combine TO defeat honest COM
petition, TO control and corrupt legisla-
tion in their own sordid interests, and to
Cypress the people that the Democratic
party does, and all good citizens ought to
oppose and repress them.
The position, which is being assumed too
much by Republican politicians just now,
that Democracy is opposed to honest and
legitimate a association OF capital for worthy
purposes is merely an impudent a sumption
OF what is not true, to cover and conceal
a strong tendency within the Republican
organization TO foster and sustain trusts,
combinations and other devices conceived
and operated ia defeat OF Individual trade,
and OF general popular rights.
To accuse the opposition of enmity to all
corporations because it has, does and will
fight that description OF outrage in copo-
rate disguise. is equivalent TO saying that
because one detests and abhors burglars,
he must be equally inimical to locksmiths.

decided that the time is not yet ripe to
institute any kind or reforms in the adj
ministration OF the island.
The news produceda great sensation here,
and all the more when il became known
that this new attitude OF the government
OF Senior Canoyas is strongly supported

eign Admirals Are Quibbling.
Canea. March 5.-For three days a dis
cussion has been going on between the
admrals of the foreign warships and M.
Baraklis, the Greek vice consul, who was
recently directed by King George to 60 to
selino to intervene with the insurgents in
behalf of the besieged Mohammedans at
Kandatnos.
The vice consul insisted upon going to
Selino on the Greek warship Hydra, but the
admirals. apparently thinking that il he
went in a Greek vessel Greece would get
too much credit for the rescue of the
Moslems declined to permit him to go
on the Hydra. They offered, however, to
place a Russian torpedo boat destroyer at
his service for the purpose specified, but
M. Barakls very pointedly refuses the
offer.
Its now variously stated that NJ. Barakiis
has gone on his mission of mercy and that
he has not gone. The Importance of the
matter lies in the desperate situation OF
the bcsieged Moslems at Kandamos. They
may fall victims to the incensed insurgents
while the diplomatic quibblings proceed,
a fact which seems TO he of no importance
TO the foreign admirals. Public feeling
here is strong against the attitude of the
admirals, which may lead to the loss of
many lives.
