WASHINGTON, March 5.-The
Presidents Cabinet appointments
were all confirmed by the Senate to-
day and practically without Opposi-
ton. There was for time a threat
of opposition to Mr. Gage as Secre-
tary of the Treasury because Of his
financial views and because he is a
banker, but there was more of this
among Senators in the cloak-rooms
than in the Senate.
While in legislative session the
credentials of Mr.. Hanna as Sena-
tor from Ohio to succeed Mr.. Sher-
man were presented by Mr.. Foraker,
and he was sworn in by Vice-Presi-
dent Hobart. DIR. Davis was also
designated acting Chairman of the
Committee on Foreign Relations to
succeed Mr.. Sherman.
Mr.. McKinley's cabinet is as fol-
lows: John Sherman, Secretary of
State; Lyman G. Gage, Secretary of
Treasury; James Gray, Postmaster
General; John M'Kenna, Attorney
General; Cornelius S. Bliss, Secre-
tary of the Interior; John d. Long,
Secretary Of the Navy; James Will
son, Secretary Of Agriculture, and

The Senate.


The following new bills were in
troduced in the Senate:
By Mr., Gilmore-To prevent dis
elimination in the carrying of
freights by any common carrier and
to provide for the punishment of
same. This bill makes it unlawful
for any common carrier, by special
rate, rebate or drawbacks, or any
other device, to charge, demand,
collect or receive from any person
or persons, firm or corporation
greater or less compensation for any
service rendered in the transporta-
ton of any kind of property within
this State thNn it charges, demands,
collects or receives from any person
or persons, firms or corporation for
doing for him or them a like service
in the transportation Of like kind
of property under like circumstances
and conditions. 1t is further made
unlawful for any common carrier to
receive any greater compensation in
the aggregate for the transportatIo on
of any kind of property for a shorter
than a longer haul over the same
line in the same direction, the
shorter being included within the
longer haul. A violation is made
punishable by fine of not less than
500 nor more than $500.
BY Mr.. Smithson-To refund to
cigarette dealers certain money paid
by them on uneXpired license as
such dealers, and to prescribe the
amount and mode of payment.
By Mr.. Case-To abolish the GUS
tomary days of grace on promissory
notes, drafts, checks, acceptances,
bills of exchanges, bonds or other
evidences of indebtedness.
The Senate Railroad Committee
reported the railroad commission
bill favorably, but the Senate re-
referred it to the Judiciary Com
mittee.
The Estes constitutional conven-
ton bills were favorably reported TO
the Senate, so amended as to make
the time for submission the first
Thursday in August; the time for
electing the delegates the first
Thursday in October, and the date
for the convention the first Thurs
day in November.
Mr.. Collinsworth's bill to require
saloons to remove screens, blinds
and other distractions to the public
view came up recommended for re.
lection by the Committee on Liquor
Traffic. At the request of the

THERE will be three interesting
questions presented to the + fifty
fifth Senate of the United States in
regard to the filling of vacancies in
in that body. One is from Florida
Senator Calls term expired March
4th and the Legislature of that
State does not meet until April,
and the Governor will proba-
bly, appoint for the interim,
since Mckinley has called the new
Congress together in extra session
the 10Th of this month. ....
Another interesting question
arises over the appointment by Gov
ernor Bradley of Kentucky, of Maj.
A. 7. Wood to succeed Sena tor j. G.
S. Blackburn. 1t will be remem-
bered that the legislature of Ken
lucky last year was dead locked and
failed to elect.
Still another vacancy is in Oregon,
where there is a fight to elect sue.
cessor to Senator Mitchell. The
legislature has never been able tc
organize and consequently there has
been no election, and the governor
may undertake to appoint.
The precedents of the Senate are
against the Kentucky and Oregon
cases and it will probably refuse tc
recognize the appointments. The
rule has been that where the legis.
lature of State has refused oil
omitted to elect senator, the gov.
ernor could not appoint. This rule
does not cover the Florida case, fol-
the Legislature has neither refused
nor omitted to elect, because it has
never met since the vacancy oc
Cured and does not meet till April
1t will be interesting to know how
this case will be determined.

CORRECTIONS.

The HERALD, being incorrectly
informed, made two mistakes in its
last issue, both of which we take
pleasure in correcting, being glad to
learn, in both instances, that the
facts were not as first reported.
In the first instance we reported
that our Pictorial Representative,
DR.. j. w. Stockard, had attended
the inaugural at Washington, TAX
ing the trip on the special car fur
nished by the railroads. We OBJ
tanned our information from one of
the Nashville papers, DR.. Stock
ards name being in the published
list of those who left Nashville on
the special.
The facts are that DR.. Stockard
did not go to Washington at all, but
stayed at home and travelled his dis
trict for the express purpose of con-
sulting his constituents about I'M
portant measures pending in the
legislature, being DESTROYS at all
times and upon all questions to re-
fleet their wishes.
In the second instance the HER
AID reported that 1.-The whiskey
sellers of Columbia and the whiskey
makers of Maury County" had re-
tanned counsel to test the constitu-
tionality of the mo screen" law
recently passed by the Board Of
Alderman. We have since been in.
formed that the whiskey makers OF
Maury County had nothing to dc
with the employment of counsel tC
resist the law. The aforesaid publ
cation was made on information
that the Maury County distillery
was corporation, and that thell
Manager was one of several who haC
retained counsel.
Such, we are assured from re
liable source, is not the case, anC
we very gladly make the correction
Counsel has been retained, how
ever, and the courts will be called
upon to pass upon the law.

CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION.

The rigidity and inflexibility of the
constitution of 1870 is one serious objec-
ton that might be urged against it.
According to its express provisions all
laws must be general and operate alike
upon every member of the conn unity
in similar circumstances, and upon all
portions of the State without reference
to important differences in soil, topog-
raphy, geological formation, etc. There
is one particular exception to this rule
expressly provided for in the Constitu-
ton. ...
BY Section 10 of Article NJ it is pro-
vided; ..... ..
"The General Assembly shall have
power to enact laws for the protection
and preservation of game and fish,
within the State, and such laws may be
enacted for and applied and enforced in
| particular counties or geographical dis
tricts, designated by the General
Assembly"
This section does not appear in either
of the preceding Constitutions. The OK
perience of the people had taught them
the wisdom of modifying the procrus-
team character of their fundamental law
by which every law, of whatever char,
acter, must apply to every portion OF
the State, regardless of the variety OF
conditions in the several counties and
sections, and led them to the adoption
of the above provision in the Constitu-
ton of 1870, giving the legislature pow
er to legislate on the subjects of game
and fish according to the needs and con-
ditions of the various counties or geo.
graphical districts.
There are other subjects of more i'm.
portance over which the legislature
should be given similar power, for
instance, road laws and fence laws. In
an address issued by the Committee OF
Fifteen this subject is thus presented
No Fence Law.
Many of the counties have become sc
denuded of their forests that the mat
ter of fences has become so costly as tC
make the people clamorous for non
Tense law. Each county should be
allowed to regulate this matter accord
ing to the will of the people. An Act
was passed by the present legislature
intended to give this relief, but in the
case of Sutton VS.. the State it was de
clared unconstitutional.
Road Laws.
1t is said that the roads of a country
are indicative of the civilization which
prevails among its people, and all will
agree that we are behind in the respect
of public roads. The great difficulty
which confronts us is that no law car
be passed for one county which does
not apply to every other county in tn,
\ State. Take the mountain counties O
East Tennessee, where in many part,
all that is needed is trail around tn,
mountain, or even take Middle Ten
nessee, where there is an abundance o
stone and the soil is tough, then TAX,
West Tennessee, where there is M
stone and the earth in a large measur
is composed of sand, and it will at once
be seen that it will be impracticable t
pass general law for the whole State
under which we can have a good roaC
system for either division of the State.
These are two of the most importan
subjects affecting the material progress
Of our state and counties, and the pros

What the Press Thinks of the Presiden-

Probably no other President ever
vacated the White House whose go
ing was the cause of so much gener-
al satisfaction. Mr.. Cleveland is
loved less by the Democrats than by
the Republicans if possible. He has
few very ardent admirers, but
could not secure the electoral vote of
a single state in the union. A few
years of McKinleyism may change
the public estimate of Mr.. Cleve-
land, but at present the change of
Presidents is welcomed by thou
sands of good Democrats.-Pulaski
