follow the life of private citizen;
though no one familiar with the po-
litical history of Tennessee for the
past quarter of century can fail to
recognize the important part Capt.
McNeal has played in making that
history. In party councils, when
weighty matters were to be consid-
cred, his advice was sought. The
late Senator had the utmost conf
dence in and respect for his opinions.
Capt. McNeal was, perhaps, closer
to Senator Harris than any other
man in Tennessee; hence, we repeat,
that upon Capt. McNeal's shoulders
the mantle of the lamented Senator
should fall, and that it will be
worthily worn is foregone conclu-
sion.

ON him! He is nothing but a
81, 500 mani" That's what Harris
called William J. Bryan, while the
preliminary work of the Chicago
convention was being done, and
some one suggested the possibility
of Bryan's nomination. Harris, the
Chairman of theSilver Committee of
theUnited States, who had toiled and
schemed with Teller, Jones, Stew
art and Dubois for months before
the convention, dismissed the sug-
gestion with an oath and a wave of
his hand. But Bryan was nomina-
ted and Isham g. Harris, disguised
and disappointed, left Chicago and
remained in Memphis during the en-
tire campaign. He neither spoke
nor wrote one word in defense of
the silver cause. He knew Bryan
was not the man for leading the sill
yer forces, and he knew he would
be defeated. Cincinnati CONNER

A Picnic for Lawyers.

Despite all arguments of the adj
vOcates of constitutional cOnven-
ton they'cannot obscure or disprOve
the fact that there is no desirable
change in the constitution that can
not be made by amendm ent, and
that it lies within the power of the
Legislature to remedy most of the
evils complained of. The claim
that new constitution is necessary
to reduce the cost of courts and pro-
secutions is not true. The cost of a
new constitution would be from
$50, 900 to $4,000. Its adoption
would be exceedingly doubtful, but
the cost of making and submitting
it would be absolutely certain. A
new constitution would mean the
necessity of much new legislation
and of an enormous amount of liti-
cation in constituting the new instru-
ment. 1t would be picnic for the
lawyers. The total expense result
ing from a new constitution cannot
be calculated, but it would run far
up in the thousands. The amenda-
tory process and legislation are ex-
pensive enough, but they are safer
and cheaper and more satisfactory
than a constitutional convention
with its great possibilities for harm,
and they can accomplish all wise
and necessary reforms.

The following article is repro.
duced from sFThe Diocese of Ten
nessee," a church paper published
at Memphis:
The Board of Regents elected by
the general convention for the pur-
pose of promoting the interest of
church schools and colleges estab-
lished three scholarships of $500
each and invited the senior students
of all church colleges to compete
for them. The examination ques-
tions were set by professors at Har-
ward, Yale, Columbia and Princeton.
Five institutions entered for schol-
arships, viz: Hobart, Trinity, St.
Stephens, Kenyon and Sewanee.
Neither the names of students nor
the colleges were written on exami-
nation papers, which were examined
and graded by the professors who
set the questions. When the three
best papers were marked by examin-
ers last week it was found that the
three Sewanee men had won all
the scholarships, coming out we'll
above all the rest. 1t would have
been a victory if one Sewanee man
had come out first, but for the three
Sewanee men to lead the entire
list in one, TWO and three order was
magnificent. Hurrah for Sewanee!
The competitors for the scholar
ships were all from Northern col
leges except Sewanee. The result
of the contest is a high tribute to
Southern education generally, and
to this justly celebrated institution

The United States is probably the
only country in the world that has
no national holiday, even the Fourth
of July, in strictly legal sense, is
not such. Congress has, from time
to time, provided for special holi-
days. The Fifty-third Congress
passed an act making Labor day a
holiday in the District of Columbia,
and in bankruptcy legislation GER
tain days are recognized as''no days"
for commercial and banking purpos-
es, but, with these exceptions, no
provision has ever been made by our
national Legislature for national hol.
idays. The day of Thanksgiving,
annually appointed by the President,
is legal holiday only in such states
as have made special provisions for
it. In various states action has been
taken by most of the Legislatures
providing for holidays-the Fourth
of July, Washington's birthday and
a number of others having received

TENNEssEANs regret the death of
Senator Isham @. Harris, which &C.
CURED at his Washington home last
Thursday. In many respects, Sen
ator Harris was remarkable charac-
ter, and future writer's will accord to
him the proper place he deserves in
history. He did much for Tennes-
see, and in return Tennessee did
much for him. Of late years, he
seldom visited his native state, save
during political campaigns, though
he always kept in touch with our
prominent men through cOrrespOn-
dence. Senator Harris was not a
moulder of public opinion, but he
was close student of politics and
whenever he espOused cause it was
generally successful. The secret of
his success is attributable to his
rugged honesty and to his loyalty to
his friends. He never made a prom
Use but what he fulfilled it. Broad
minded, he sought TO legislate for
the best interests of the whole
country. During the latter years
of his life, while a member of the
United States Senate, he was recog-
nized as authority on parliamentary
law. His opinions were asked and
accepted by those of different politi-
cal parties. lie was a stickler for
senatorial courtesy" and no
fair-minded person familiar with his
conduct, either as presiding officer
or as member of the senate, can
point to any advantage he sought
of his opponents. Whenever he
ruled upon any point or addressed
the senate, he was listened TO with
marked attention. In expressing
himself he never used a superf1uous
word. His remarks were always
pointed, his articulation clear and
distinct and his delivery perfect.
But, no man could fill a public sta
tion a. long as Senator Harris did
without making enemies: and TO
deny that he had enemies would be
untruthful. Death, however, levels
all differences. Peace to his ashes.

The following good joke is told
on a prominent physician of this
county. 49,. !
Some. few weeks ago his good
wife expressed a wish for setting.
of turkey eggs, with which she in
tended to compliment favorite
hen. The doctor, who is as gallant
as handsome, made many inquiries
among his patients about turkey
eggs, but failedeto find them. On
returning home one day he saw
some boys, who had robbed a bus
Yards nest of two eggs, and the
idea struck him to buy the eggs and
palm Them Off tothis@wife as turkey
eggs. 1t was a greateseheme, We
can see the fat side of the jolly de-
sciple of Aesculapius shake with
suppressed merriment. Several days
passed. The doctor came in one
day just at dinner time, tired and
awful hungry. A good dinner had
been prepared, a splendid egg custard
holding the first place in the course.
The meal was finished, the chairs
pushed back. The doctor asked
about the turkey eggs. The wife
replied: "Why, doctor, my hen
went on a strike, and l used the
eggs in the nice 1custard you Rave
just eaten -
There was a sound like that of a
mighty river going through rat
hole, and the doctor fell out in the
backyard limp and almost lifeless.
