SANCTUM SENTIMENT.

When the next democratic cOnven-
tion declares for the free c,inage of
silver, what will the American do
then, POOR thing?-Fayetteville
Observer.
We don't know what there is in all
this talk, but Dom Carmack doesn't
usually tumble over any Cra(Dgs
and things when he starts into
race.-Dyersburg Herald.
Mckinley said in a speech the
other day that 1.-The Bible was to
follow the guns into the Philip
pines" Wouldn't it be better to
send the Bible first? Perhaps then
the guns would not be needed
Woodbury. Press.
The picture of Ned Carmack
published in the American yesterday
does that gentleman an injustice. 1t
may lead some people to infer that
Carmack has been putting black dye
on bis hair. Ned's hair is crimson -
Chattanooga News.
The Chattanooga News is one of
persists in bowling before the silver
idol despite the logic of events.
There are none so blind as those who
will not see, SO goes the old adage,
and if it suits the News to cling to
silver perhaps we shall have to let it
run its course, hoping that in the end
it will learn MISUNDERSTANDING
American.
Experience shows that our present
system of assessing property does
not give n just basis on which the
state may levy takes. All fairmind-
ed citizens will agree that a just basis
is desirable, and all must admit that
actual cash valuation would consti-
tute such a basis, if we had practi-
cable way Of ascertaining the cash
value of taxable property.-Pulaski
Citizen.
The DAILY HERALD is a new one
just started at Columbia by f. ID.
lander, the bright aud enterprising
editor of the weekly COLUMBIA
HERALD. Columbia can amply
support daily paper and when a
city reaches that point enterprising
publishers should not be slow to
make the necessary venture. We
wish for Bro. Lander much success
in his undertaking. Woodbury.

Carmack has no political secrets,
and, like that grand old warrior and
statesman, Isham G.. Harris, he is as
bold as lion, true as steel, plain as
an old shoe, big Drained, broad mind
ed and agreat fighter for What he CON
ceiveS to be right. His ascendency
has been rapid and not without good
cause. 1t has been due to his splen
did qualities, manly bearing and
unseltsh service.-Gallatiu Tenues-
sean,
1t paihs us to confess that we are
disappointed in McKinley's Secre-
tary If War, Elihu Root. Mr.. Root,
is was announced, was going to in
au2urate a vigorous policy in the
Philippines. He was going to knock
the bull right square off the bridge.
He was going to swipe the Filipinos
off the earth. And yet Elihu hasn't
swiped anything up to date except
his salary .-MurfreesborO News

Canada's impudence in Offering
to surrender territory to the United
States that Canada never had a
shadow of title to, or claim on, is
sufficiently eNasperating. But her
aupOuncemeut that she will not even
consider such surrender 10 Us of our
property until we shall have PROM
ised TO give her harbOr on our
coast, TO which she has no more
right than she has to Portland, Ia
coma CT San FrauciscO-this is pos
itively insulting. OF course no such
insolent demands can be, or will be,
considered. We may easily afford
10 give the Canucks the port they
covet; but we'd play the moral COW
ard II We gave IL on terms Canada
has brought Observation-Disclosures
