\ NASHVILLE correspondent
writing to the Commercial
Appeal prophesies that Sen
ator Turley will not be a can
didate for reelection; that
Gov. McMillin will not stand
for denomination, but will
seek Turkeys place, and that
the democratic nomination
for Governor viii 90 to Hon,
E. w. Carmack on first ballot.
On the strength OF the above,
the Columbia Herald proceeds
to turn prophet as follows:
cit is true that SenatorTurley will
not be 4 candidate for reelection.
1t is also true that Hon. Benton
McAIillin is already aware Of Sena-
tor Turkeys intentions; and it is
further true that to all intents and
purposes he is already a candidate
for Mr.. Turkeys seat In the Senate.
But it is altogether a mistake about
his not standing for a denomination
for Governor; he will hold to the
one while he runs for the other. Ii
is likewise a mistake about Mr..
Carmack becoming a candidate for
Governor. His ambition does not
lie that way. lie, TOO, is aware Of
Senator Turkeys intention to retire
from politics, and he wants to, and
intends to, and, in our opinion,
will, occupy his chair in the Amer
lean House of Lords"

ADMIRERS ofAdmiral Dew.

ADMIRERS of Admiral Dew
ey, who is now on his way
home, having sailed from Ma
Mia Friday, propose to
build by public subscription
a magnificent home and pre-
sent it to the great naval he=
TO. If the Admiral will de-
cline to accept the offer, temp
ting though it be, he will
act wisely. Dewey is amply
able to build his own home.
A generous government has
recognized his worth by pro-
noting him to the highest
rank in the Navy, carrying
with it a salary sufficient to
keep him in ease the remain
der of his life. Let him fol-
low Gen. Wade Hampton's
example. The home of this
aged gentleman was recently
destroyed by fire in South
Carolina. South Carolinians
especially and SOutherners
generally asked to be allow
ed to rebuild his mansion and
present it to him as a testi-
monial of the love and esteem
in which he is held by our
people. Firmly, but politely,
he declined the offer, and in
declining wrote a patriotic
letter, from which we make
the following extract:
1t is the duty of every citizen to
serve his state whenever called upon
to do so, and his sole reward should
be the consciousness of having full
filled that obligation. If my fellow
citizens think that | have ever been
able to serve my state in any man
ner, only discharged my duty in
doing so, and | am amply cOmpen-
stated for any service rendered by
their verdict of ''well done, good
and faithful servant"

they differ very materially In regard
to my influence when in the legisla-
ture. Citizen complains because
! did too much. He even accuses
me of trying TO repeal the Jarvis
law, because have brother-in-law
who is clerk of the Circuit Court.
He also accuses the legislature of
passing and the Governor of sign
ing compromise bill to keep me
from removing the Jarvis law from
the statute books.
J. w. Jones complains Of my mi
croscopical influence. "People
who live in glass houses should not
throw stones" l am ready and
willing to compare records with }.
w. Jones at all times. 1t is true
that the legislature of 1899 raised
the state taxes from 30 to 50 cents,
both on real estate and corporations,
railroads, ETC., and if the people
will examine the acts of the regular
session, extra session and extraordi-
nary session, while Mr.. Jones rep
resented US in the Legislature, they
can readily see why it was necessa-
~ to increase the state taxes.
My influence in the legislature
may have been microscopical, but |
was one of the 80 and had a vote
and used it. l will now compare
my voting while in the legislature
of 1899 to the voting of the Hon.
J. w. Jones while he was in the
Legislature of 1895, aud let the peo-
pie Judge.
l voted, and the bill passed the
House, to make the railroads pay
lin addition to the advalorem tax
privilege tax. l also voted, and
the bill passed the House, reducing
the salary of state officers. | also
voted to abolish seven useless courts
and four attorneys general. 1 also
voted to abolish the Chancery
Court of Appeals. / also voted to
abolish the Office of the three treas
urers of the Insane Asylums, and
the private secretary Of the Govern
or.
In 1895 Mr.. Jones voted to create
the Chancery Court of Appeals,
three judges at a salary of So, 500
each. This useless court up to date
has cost the tax payers SAP, 900.
Mr.. Jones in 1895 voted to create
the Eleventh Criminal Court, in or
der to give Judge John M. Taylor
an Office at salary of 50, 500 per
anuum. This useless court has
cost the tax payers $40, 200. In
1895, Mr.. Jones voted to create the
Second Chancery Court of Shelby
County (the home of Josiah Patter-
SOM. This court has cost the tax
payers $4,000. In 1895, Mr.
Jones voted to create the Second
Circuit Court of Davidson County.
This court has also up to date cost
the tax payers $4,000.
Mr.. J. w. Jones complains be
cause / denied "Citizen's" state
ment that the charitable committee
Ol 1899 spent IuOie ludH ShSI DS-
fore on themselves, when the rec
ord shows that we spent on our
selves S5O7.39 less than the same
committee spent on themselves in
1897, and 81, 1872. 80 less than Mr..
Jones' committee did in 1895.
"Citizen" further stated in his
communication of May the 9TH,
''that the visiting or junketing
committees spent more than ever
before on themselves. | cannot
understand why Mr.. Jones made
this statement. He was a member
of the charitable committee of 1895.

let the people judge.

observation-disclosures Steamers.
Seattle, wn., Feb. 1S.-Starvation in
all it's terrible forms threatens the min
ers of the Lower Yukon, and it will only
be by the most careful outstanding of
supplies that the miners will pull
through the long winter until the north
power and throws the mighty Yukon
open for another 100 days.
The 200 miners at Fort Hamilton have
probably been compelled before this to
make a terrible trip of 200 miles over
the ice to Rampant City. 1t was a choice
with them between death by starvation
or the dangers of the trip over the snow
fields. At Rampant 1000 and more men
will be compelled to pay for their sup
plies in almost their weight in gold
There is not enough provisions in the
camp to last through the winter, and a
single steamer on the Dahl river, some
so miles away, will command any price
asked for it's cargo of supplies.
Among the river boats that have
hardly a chance to escape destruction
are the Herman, Dawson City, Gov
Stoneman, Yukoner, 20 steamers on the
Koyukuk and five in Aphoon Pass. The
identity of the vessels in AphoOn Pass
is unknown. Five are said to be
stranded near Kutlik, and nothing can
save them from destruction Aphoon
Pass is the principal mouth of the Y u
kon delta, and the greater part of the
ice will go out that way. The boats
will be crushed and damned when the
ice in Bristol Bay finally gives away.
The crews of these vessels are prepar-
ing quarters on shore and will remove
as much as possible from the doomed
steamers.

New Haven, Conn, Feb. 1S.-At the
end of the second act of "Heartease" at
the Hyperion theater last night, by
Charles Frohman's company, two wo-
men in the dress circle, overcome by in
tense emotion, sobbed loud enough to be
heard throughout the theater. Every
one laughed and giggled at this.
At the end of the third act Henry
Miller responded to a curtain call. He
said that he was greatly annoyed by
the conduct of portion of the audi
ence and he compared that conduct to
what be expected to the slums of Lon
don. He said that while he had always
been received by the culture and refine
ment of New Haven theatergoers, on
this occasion it was apparent that the
culture and refinement hadn't extended
to the byways and hedges of the town,
and he was not aware that there were
so many hyenaS in the audience.
