GUS mistake. Had he appointed Nc
Millin it would have been accepted as
q good appointment, and would have
pleased thousands of Tennessee demo-
Gratis, and would have been received as
q popular appointment at Washington.
In appointing Turley he has made a sea
lection against which no just or severe
criticism can be made and which will
rehct credit upon the state. Turley is
a straight democrat, free silver demo
crat, and made one of the strongest
speeches on that question that was
made during the campaign. His APP
pointment will be satisfactory to all
classes and all factions, gold democrats
being among his warmest supporters.
1t is good appointment ell round
Governor Taylor is to be congratulated
on giving to Tennessee so worthy
senator as Thomas b. Turley."

IN MEMORIAM,

Paul Henderson, son of ]. E. and
Gilly A. Henderson, aged 8 years, de-
parted this life at the home of his moth
err, near johnson City, Tenn, July 4,
1897, and was buried at Oak Hill Gene
terry July 8, Revs. W, L. Elliott and
John r, Herndon officiating. 1t is a
precious article of our faith that the
children are saved, and this consoling
truth is commended to all who are
touched by this sorrow, and we pray
that the divine comforter may come
into the darkened home with cheer and
resignation, and teach that Gods ways
are the best although we do not under
stand them. The same Saviour who
took .he children in his arms and
blessed them while he was on the earth
can be trusted to care for them when
they go out from us into the other life.
The sorrows and trials of this present
life are not worthy to be compared with
the glory that shall be revealed in all
those who, by the spirit, are made per
feet through suffering, "What 1 dc
thou knoweth not now, but thou shall
know hereafter" is Christ's message tC
all who are troubled over the mysteries
of His Providence. Trust in Him and
all will be we'll. JNo. r. HERNDON.

THE EXPECTED HAS HAPPENED.

The republicans OF the tariff confer
ence committee have agreed to cut out
the senate sugar schedule and insert
the house schedule with several chang
es, of course, in the interest of the sugar
trust The result is just as we stated
it would be. 1t is heralded as q defeat
of the sugar trust, and the agents of the
trust are doing their best to look dis
appointed, while they are entirely sat
isfed, as the amended Dingley sched-
ule gives them little moro than they
expected to get, although, of course,
not everything they wanted-they want
the earth and the fullness thereof. Now
that the farcial fight in conference has
been concluded, there is very little
doubt that the conference report will
be accepted and the bill sent to Mr.,
Mckinley during the present week,
There may be little delay in reaching
vote on the report of the senate, as
number of senators wish to express
their opinion of several bunco schemes
which were worked in the conference
notably the restoration of the 50 duty
on white pine lumber, which will put 6
tax of something like $40, 900, 600 on thu
people for the benefit of the white pin,
combine, and the replacing of cottol
ties and bagging on the dutiable list.

As was expected, Col. Dave Num-
has been appointed revenue collector

would resign. But he is not of the re-

than honor or decency. Self-respect is
to him an unknown virtue. He tried
to be vice president and was defeated
at the pest. He tried to break into the

given a little $4,000 Office under the

What has the Carnegie Armor Plate
Trust done to the senate? While dem
o,rats are glad to see even one trust
hit, they are at loss to know what
it was that caused the senate to limit
the cost of the Armor plate to $780, ton
and senators to inform members of the
House that it was useless to add a cent
to that limit, because the senate had
fully determined that no more should
be paid. Republicans friendly to the
Carnegie trust made hard fight for
an increase in the house, but failed,
and the trust will have to make armoi
for that price, or wait until congress
authorizes the payment of more. Mr.
