SANCTUM SENTIMENT.

Carl Schurz has made an attack
upon the Philippine policy of the
administration, and no Republican
paper was more prompt in attacking
him than the Nashville American,
which is now one of the most staunch
supporters in the South of the Hanna
imperial policy j tckson Sun.
There is reason to believe that the
American Book Trust is giving
every encouragement possible to the
fight being made upon the state text
book law. The trust is still suffer
ing from the staggering blow it re-
ceived by the Legislature, and 1t does
not propose to supinely submit 20
any interference with it's lucrative
grasp on the people of the State.
Like all other greedy institutions of
it's kind, it will brook no restraint
as long as it has power to resist.

Bv every consideration of justice
the Beers are entitled to that cOun-
try where, as the learned Nashville
American would say, the hands of
the white man had hitherto never
set its foot.-Memphis Commercial
Appeal.
The Nashville American is still
vilifying those Democrats who are
i'm favor of making silver an issue in
the coming campaign. Now, II the
American will frankly state what
issues it wants the Democratic party
to make, it will succeed in getting
itself better understood, but we will
not promise that the party will
adopt the Americans policy. The
American would doubtless advise
the Democratic party to declare in
favor of single gold standard, inn
perialiam, monopolies, trusts com
bines, and Mckinley, but w0uldnt
that be a pretty mess of broth for a
respectable political party to be
sloshing around in?-Woodbury

its fight against The people. That
might not be very good policy, 1t is
true.-Knoxvill Seminal
Ifthere are no trusts, as Hanna
contends, what is the meaning of
those anti trust planks in the Re-
publican State platforms-Adams
Democrat.
Reylying to our declaration of
loyalty at all times to the princi-
Piles of Democracy, the Nashville
American says: I'VE admire our
esteemed contemporary courage,
but we may well doubt its wisdom"
Ofcourse, the American has never
of late years-considered it the part
of wisdom to give loyal support to
Democracy. The wisdom dispensers
OF the American are looking in an
entirely contrary direction.-Chatta

The manufacturers of Cleveland
