Marx Hanna's advancement to a
seat in the United States senate is
not the reward of merit, the achieve
ment of an ambition justified and
fortified by distinguishing acts of
craftsmanship the result of which
have been beneficial to the entire
country, but is the reward of trust
combines, etc. that have prospered
upon the working of his wiley brain,
and that will use him further to
that end in defrauding the people.
Hanna will be puny substitute for
John Sherman.-West Tennessee
Wing.
We heard wag say that the bar
bers were discussing the advisability
of charging by the yard for shaving
the late advocates of the gold
standard. Their faces are 50 long

Whar in all the world is the black
jack statesman Of LookOut-H. Clay,
the all around political trickster,
schemer and martyr? His name,
like his pretensions, is mud. He
falls with dull, sickening thud,
kerhunk. Go weep and gnash your
teeth, for Evins is not in it, as
Brownlow, the imperturbable Walt,
will hold the pie tray, and woe to
the worshipers of the carpetbagger
from Pennsylvania, for he is no wise
a part or parcel of the cabinet. How
ungrateful, for this same Ajacks was
a trooly original dyed-in- the-wool
and all around Mckinley or Hanna
man. Too bad too bad.-Cookeville
Press.
A st. Louis astrolOgers statement
that the stars predict all sorts of
pitfalls and perils for the Mckinley
administration indicates that the
benign influence of Mr.. Hanna's
corporation slush fund may not have
been so far-reaching as had been
supposed.-St. Louis Republic.
Cleveland and his protege, La
mont, have both picked up million
or so since they went into office, and
neither of them will be compelled
to exert himself for a living now
that they have ceased BOOSTING the
United States. Other members OF
the cabinet are not so fortunate,
notably the southern men who have
been i'm Cleveland's council of state.
Carlisle and Herbert will go back to
the practice of the law and wilson
to the work of educating. 1t is al
together to the honor of our southern
statesmen that none of them grew
rich in office, but do they get as
much credit for it in the eyes OF the
public as the men who feather their
nests while in public place? How
do Carlisle, Herbert and Wilson
compare, for instance, with Cleve-
land and Olney and Lamont in pub

Whatever of good or evil the flu
ture historian may record OF Grover
Cleveland, it may safely be averred
that his pusillanimOus policy toward
the Cuban patriots and unsympa-
thetic attitude toward the Turk rid
den Armenians will find few defend
ers. His highest conception of the
glory aud dignity of the country APP
parently lies in the careful cultiva-
tion of gilded ties betw cen Wall and
! Lombard streets. Franklin Review
Appeal.
Finding that it is no longer fash.
ionable to wear their hats in the
theater, some Of the Memphis wo.
men have conceived the happy
idea of standing their children up in
the chairs in order to cut off the
view of those in the rear, If this
sort of thing continues Col. Monte
verde will have to introduce "A bill
in the legislature prohibiting womer
from wearing their babies at the
matinees.-Commercial-Appeal.
A bill is before the Kansas legisla,
ture to let out county offices to the
highest bidder.-Lebanon Tribune
The daily papers continue to harI
upon the Bradley Martin ball. w,
are of the opinion that the Bradley
Martins should be made to have
