Congratulates the Bulletin

EDITOR Bulletin congratulate
the BULLETIN upon the position ii
has taken in behalf of Hon. Z. w.
Carmack for United States Senator,
and feel that all sincere friends of
Mr. Carmack and good democrats
generally will heartily approve of
the course you have taken; and it is
pleasing to note the enthusiasm
Carmack's announcement has arous-
ed throughout the state, in spite of
past differences. From all sources
it is acknowledged that the election
of Carmack would be to maintain
the old time prestige of Tennessee
in the Senate. Mr.. Carmack has
earned aud will continue to deserve
the cOnsenting praise of honest men
everywhere. His matchless ability,
his sound integrity, are everywhere
admitted. His devotion to his ma
tive state and section are evidenced
by his own words on the floor of
the House: every fibre of my
being and every drop of my blood,
every pulsatiOn of my heart are con-
secrated forever to the people of
my native state and section" He
will be a source of pride to every
Tennesseean, and will prove him
self not unworthy to occupy the seat
once occupied by such men as Felix
Grundy, Hugh Lawson White,
Andrew Jackson, Andrew johnson,
Aaron V. Brown and Isham G.
Harris and the long line of illus
trious men who added to the digni-
ty of the Senate of the United
States and reflected lasting credit
upon the people of Tennessee.

Women as Policemen.

London has many queer things il

none queerer than its women guard

does not exist in any other city on
earth, says the Chicago Chronicle

ing to find how this is brought
about you will probably be shocked
at discovering that Covent Garden
has police force all to itself in the
shape of some hundred or so of old
women.
They dart in and out among the
cars, order the drivers to stop, TO
back their horses or move on. They
shout and swear and shake their
fists and catch the horses heads,
and, if neccesry, shy turnips or po-
tatoes at the drivers. But they al
ways succeed in having their own
way. But for these women it is
believed that it would be necessary
to read the riot act every Saturday
morning in Covent Garden. As it
is, the women police make a COM
Portable living out of their pro-
fession, the drivers giving them
daily tips, while the proprietors pay
them a fair salary.

widow of Gen. VIM. B. Hazen.
The date of the wedding has not
been announced. The Admiral has
moved into his new home on Rhode
Island avenue, and his anxiety to
occupy it without any delay leads
his friends to believe that the mar
aiage of Mrs. Hazen and himself
will be an event of the near future.
Mrs. Hazen is the daughter of
Mrs. Washington Mclean, whose
Washington residence Admiral
Dewey occuied during the ceremon-

He says that until within a

forced to borrow all their

they are able to get money
in the Southern cities at New

Gen. Lee on Cuba.

Washington, Oct. Gen.
Fitzhugh Lee, who arrived in Wash.
ington last night from New York,
in an interview to-day said that the
people of Cuba are steadily improv.
ing under the existing protectorate
of the United States and are slowly
but surely rebuilding their war-wast-
ed homes and repairing their Grip
pied fortunes. Life and property
are secure in Cuba, owing largely,
he said, to the salutary restraint ex-
ercised by American military au-
thority. He thinks the time not
ripe yet, however, for a purely
Cuban government.
"Cuba," said Gen. Lee, sis i'm
proving. The Cubans are trac-
table and quiet, and the revolution
has given them self-respeet and self
reliance. Their impulses are gen
orally in the right direction, but of
course, both in the theory and
practice of self-government they are
wholly without experience. There
is among certain Cubans a deepseat-
ed prejudice against some men who,
the Cubans think, oppressed Gu
bans under Spanish rule, and if
given a free rein, the Cubans would
make short work of them. The
United States Government is pledg-
ed to grant independence to Cuba
after the Island has been pacifed,
and | believe that promise should
be fulfilled just as swiftly as we can
in reason and justice. The indus
trial situation is improving, and
money is gradually going into Cuba,
but nothing like as fast as it would
if investors were sure that property
would remain safe for years to come
and be protected by a Government
strong enough to enforce law and
order"

Will Be a Silver Man.

I'm the event of Mr.. Car
mack's leaving Congress for

lively scramble for his vacant
seat. Who ever succeeds
him, however, will be a pro-
nOunced silver man. There
is no doubt on that point.
This talk of a chance for a
sound money man from this
district is all nonsense.

son, the ablest representative
Of sound money doctrine in

n NEWSPAPER claiming to
be democratic and to have
the welfare and success of the
party at heart, acts very
strangely indeed when it
seeks to keep alive passions

The farmers of Hardeman
County are taking advantage
of the present seasonable
weather and are busy sowin g
wheat. They have at last
learned the folly of depend
ing entirely upon cotton.
While it is a fact that the
price of cotton this season is
higher than it was last, this
should be no inducement to
increase the acreage next
year; for is it not also a fact
that the price of everything
you have to buy has advanc-
ed correspondingIy? SO what
better off are you? The true
plan is to raise everything, as
far as possible, you consume
