SANCTUM SENTIMENT.

The statesman who first discovered
Ned Carmack as senatorial
possibility is said to have hung him
self once with suicidal intent, but
some friend cut him down before life
became extinct. Gov. McMillin has
nothing in particular against the
would be suicide, but he would like
to form the acquaintance of the man
who whacked the rope in two
Chattanooga News.
The only fault that has yet been
found with Ed Carmack is that he
is young, brainy and has red hair

THE DAILY HERALD, of Column
bia, is on our table. 1t is splendid
paper and is worthy of the earnest
support of the business men and cit
liens of that city. In every respect
it ranks with the best of the
smaller papers of the state -Obion
Democrat.
Mckinley went into the Philippine
war for the purpose of re-electing
himself, but he may yet find that IT
will not have that effect. The Phiii-
pinos are not so anxious to be whip
ped, even to insure McKinley's cleo
ton. Otis has never defeated any
thing yet and probably never Will.
Mckinley would not send general
over thCre that amounted to any
thing Tor fear he would wind up the
the war in blaze of glory and come
home and be elected president.
Therefore he sent Otis. In this he
showed good Judgment. There is
no danger of Otis hurting anybody,
He may havetO send Teddy Roose-
welt yet. If Teddy goes over the
Philippines will at once take to the
woods. Teddy's teeth alone Will
scare 'em to death.-Murlrees bOro

Tie Memphis Scimitar and Chatta-
noo|a Times believe in being con-
sentative. CONSERVATIVE consists
in calling Bryan a son-ot-a-gun
every time he does anything and
shouting yourself purple IN the

Mr.. BIyan's "cinch" on the dem
ocratic nomination has been ac-
knowledged to be supreme. Tae
fact that in the lace It ueIeat, auu
an era of "Republcan prosperity"
he can sustain himself as the CALI
didate OF the democracy, Is in ltsell
tribute to his ability well worthy
of considering. The man who can
retain the coufide nee and esteem OF
so representative class of Amer
lean people in defeat will inspire a
following that will carry him ana
the standard of DE mocIacy TO VIC
tory.-Lawreuceburg Democrat.
Some of our exchanges think it
only necessary to nominate some
successful military man for Presi-
dent, and the thing goes-goes Dem
ocratic, whether the hero is a Dem
ocrat or 4 Republican. IT the true
heroes of war, now denOminated
Admirals or COmmodores, would be
allowed to speak they would tell
the American people that it was the
men behind them that brought sue
cess to the arms. The one idea in
the minds of all such is to relegate
w. J. Bryan to the rear. The PEG
pie are welded to BRYAN, and there
is vet plenty in the Philippines de-
manding the attention of our militia

Gen. Otis may be doing exactly
what the administration desires, and
reports from Manila may give an
accurate account of what is done,
but the people generally are becom-
ing thoroughly disguised with the
weekly report Of a Sunday attack on
yil'ug. which is evacuated as soon
a. the ,rarsd natives get out Of sight.
