Senator Teller made a manly and
able speech in reply to the numerous
newspaper stories alleging that some
of the silver men in congress have no
proper conception of the financial ques-
ton, and are trying to force it to the
front merely to make breach between
Mr.. Mckinley and his secretary of the
treasury. He said that it was ridicu
lous to suppose that Mr.. Gage would
remain in the cabinet an hour if he and
the president were not in financial &C
cord; also that the republican party
was today fully committed to the gold
standard. Every eye in the senate was
upon Mr.. Teller when he uttered these
ringing words: 81 attack the republic
can party because it is the party of the
gold standard. I hope to see it go
down in 1900, and I pledge you that I
will do everything in my power to drag
it down. It's policy is not such as is
demanded by a great and free people.
I have no quarrel with the president,
but he stands for the gold standard
policy which in my opinion will i'm
poverish and wreck our people,"

Some of the best roads in Tennesst

Some of the best roads in Tennessee
are claimed by Hamilton county. They
are so we'll appreciated by all classes
that the Chattanooga News says "there
is a growing tendency among the farm
ers along our good roads to buy wheels
and the season finds hundreds of them
that used to have to hitch up their
teams and take from two to five hours
for trip to town now come in on their

than it used to take them to make the

move, and the farmers are not the leas {

Senator Butler of North Carolir

Senator Butler of North Carolina,
has offered joint resolution proposing
a constitutional amendment that would
revolutionize the United States Courts.
1t proposes that all United States
Judges, including those of the Supreme
Court, shall be elected by the people,
for terms of eight years, and provides
for division of the country into cir
cults for their election. Speaking of
his resolution, Senator Butler says
"There was a time when all the states
thought it incumbent upon them to APP
point.their judges for life. Now the life
tenure of a Judge in state is the excep-
ton. 1 believe in placing the power
over the Judiciary in the hands of the
people. If the system of stated terms
Is good in the states it ought to be
equally good for the Federal govern
ment.

Senator Chiffon, of Texas, says of
the civil service hubbub in republican
ranks; Gin my opinion if Mr.. Bryan
had been elected instead of Mr. Nc
Kinley, the fly specks which republic
can orators in congress now imagine to
be blood spots on the civil service sys-
tenn would have escaped their attention
altogether. Their sudden realization
that the idea of civil service reform has
been carried too far is due solely to
their purpose to get republicans into
places now filled by equally capable
democrats, aud no democratic senator
or representative should give them aid
or comfort in their designs

this matter under consideration. Let a
strong, dignified, resistless movement
be begun, calculated to secure her fair
share to Tennessee, of the capital that
now passes her by, and that will keep
at home the capital that now seeks

of the money distrust our taxing policy.

Nashville or Chattanooga, but the mat

That boy of ours has been taught (by

Mr.. Mckinley, by working over
time and by using shovel on the pie,
managed to send more nominations to
the Sanate since Congress reassembled
than have before gone in in any single
week since he took charge of the pie
counter, but it has not lessened the
pressure on him for pie even little
bit. For every hungry mouth he has
filled there are thousand asking to be
filled There is o suspicion that Mr..
Mckinley, instead of being opposed to
the warm fight that is being made in
the House for modification of the civil
service law, is really in favor of it.
Lacking the backbone to use his au-
thority to modify the rules under the
present law, he will do nothing. But
if Congress adopts any legislation he
will allow it to become law, probably
without his signature. The ground for
this suspicion is ample. Many Of Nc
Kinley's warm friends are engaged in
this fight, and every member of his
Cabinet has gone on record as favoring
some modification. The bill now be-
fore the House civil service committee
limits the law to those positions pay
ing from 5000 to 81, 800 year.
