C. W. NICHOLS.

JOHN q. SHEEHAN, one of Tam
many's cheiftians, has recently been
travelling in the South and West,
ana he says, sin my opinion Bryan
is stronger than ever in the West
and South, and these portions of
the country practically dominate
the Democratic party. Indications
point to Democratic victory, for,
despite the successful conduct of the
war, the present policy Of imperial
ism is each day making new enemies
for the Republican party" We
mention this not because it is news,
but because it comes from the ene-
my's country, and from the ranks of
the enemy. Bryan will be the NOM
inee of his party in 1900, on a BIZ
metallic, anti-expansion platform
Whether he will be elected or not
depends upon how many men the
plutocrats can buy away from him,

THE Democratic party in Tennes-
see is committed plainly, unmistak
ably and irrevOcably to judicial re-
from, which means to reduce the
number of judges and attorney Cen
erals in the employ of the State.
Now, which judges shall stay and
which go, an impartial committee
appointed for that purpose can bet
ter determine than the aforesaid
Judges themselves; and the leglsla-
ture ought to treat these learned
judicial gentlemen who are in Nash
vile lobbying for their private in
terests, just as they have sometimes
done other lobbyists; that is, kick
them out. 1t ought to be beneath
the dignity of judge, to beseech
and beg the legislature to make a
place for him. Such conduct is in
itself good cause for legislating such
an officer out of office.

If the volunteer army in the Phil
ippines should stack arms and re-
fuse to fire another gun, it would be
the bravest act an army ever per-
formed. They did not volunteer to
go ten thousand miles away from
home to rob and plumber and kill,
and drive people away from their
rightful inheritance. They volun-
teered in the name of liberty, to give
their service and il need be their
lives, to help patriot band shake
oil the yoke of tyranny and oppres-
sion. But now their Commander
in-Chief, seduced from the path of
right and honor, is using them for a
purpose Numerically opposed to
the one for which they enlisted
and one in which, we believe, not
one in hundred Of them have any
sympathy or any heart. II there
ever was a good cause for mutiny
aud rebellion in the ranks OF an
army, this Is one.

To Buy a Suit of Clothes

To Buy Suit of Clothes
is to look around for something
that's cheap-a cheap suit is an ex-
pensive suit at any price. 1t may
look passably fair on the connter-in
fact cheap suit is made to look its
best while on sale, but after weeks
wear it bags at the knees, pushes up
in the back, trays out at the bottom,
while the pockets have hang-dog
look; and the general appearance of
premature decay that fingers about
the wearer is evidence that he has
been making a futile attempt to save
money by indulging in cheap suit
of clothes. We don't keep the cheap
kind. We do have some good suits
at reasonably low prices, but they
are not the cheaply made kind.
They are made not alone to cell but
to wear.

The war with Spain, declared by
Congress, for the freedom of Cuba,
is over. The war you now read about,
with the Filippinos, was not de-
clared or purposed by Congress, but
is being waged by Mr.. Mckinley, for
the sake of conquest. No American
soldier ever volunteered for this war
his motives were higher, nobler; he
did not go, he was sent; he did not

friends try Kipling. He writes poe
try for them, and they publish vers-

poet, might not have any better
gumption than to be used as a decoy

THE Tennessee soldiers in the
Philippines volunteered to fight for
freedom, not to fight to subjugate
those who are themselves fighting
for freedom. OF course our boys will
do their duty, and obey orders, and
fire when they are told to, but their
hearts are not in this unholy war for
conquest, we know, and if they had
known they would be called upon to
do this work, never one of them
would have ever worn Uncle Sam S
uniform.

GEKMAN.AMERICANs.

Mr.. Mckinley, in following the
lead Of the greedy expansionists of
the East, has run against IA sharp
political snag. The expansionists
are not only working like land grab
bers for the squatting privileges in
all the islands Of the sea, but for rru-
Dental and financial reasons they
are clamoring for an Anglo Ameri
can alliance. Against this the Ger.
man-Americans in Chicago last
Monday filed most vehement pro.
test They called meeting at the
Auditorium, and the large building
was packed to its utmost capacity
early, while later corners were turned
away by the thousand. The meet.
ing was red hot from the beginning,
and its political tenor may be- seen
from the following, which is ia part
the resolutions they adopted:
with profoundest Indignation we
have noticed the persistent efforts of
English American newspapers, not
only to incte among our people vicious
prejudices against Germany and to de-
fame the character of the German.
Americans, but also to draw the United
States into an alliance with England.
"As loyal citizens of this republic, it
is our right as well as our duty to re-
sst these wicked pretenses with all due
firmness, and we emphatically object
to the attempt to stamp our people as
Anglo-Saxons and to make it subser-
Went to English guile. Not England,
but the whole of Europe, is the mother
country of the white inhabitants of the
United States.
eve demand that not only friendly
relations be maintained with Germany,
which has been faithful friend of our
people for more than 12O years, but that
peace and harmony be cultivated with
all nations, and we will, Therefore, at all
times firmly oppose the formation OF
entangling alliances with England, as
well as with any other country, that
this country may not be involved in I'M
necessary war.
ave further declare that, with all
lawful means at our disposal, espe-
cially in political campaigns, we will at
all times strenuously oppose all who
favor the wicked attacks made upon
friendly nations and who labor to en-.
tangle our country in an alliance with
England. We call upon the committee
that has had in charge the arrange
ments for this mass meeting to invite
all the German American churches,
societies and orders in this city to send
delegate to a convention to be held al
an early date for that purpose of form
ing permanent organization, that the
German-American citizens may be
called to action whenever it shall be-
come necessary to protect the blessing
of our American institutions agains
wicked and willy politicians.
"We call upon the committee to senC
copies of these declarations to the Presi
dent of the United States, to his Secre
taries and to the Senators and Repre-
sentatives in Congress-"

AFTER the local option bill has
slept the sleep of death in the COM

fighting chance to do something,
they are as quiet as church mice.

UPON the pages of history and be-
fore God, upon what ground can
this government justify its war up
on the Filipinos. What have they
done that they should be pursued
and hunted and murdered? Is that
not their country, and hav'nt they
the right to defend their homes and
native land? Is that not what our
forefathers did before they had
lived here a year, compared with
the time the Filipinos have lived
upon their Island? And did not
King George have better title to
this land, than we have to that?
Every patriot in every country I'M
der the sun, would do just as Agui-
naldo is doing, if his country was
being invaded by foreign power.
And it is nothing but army discip-
line, strong and severe, that holds
the American soldier in that line of
battle. They know, every one of
them, that they are fighting a patriot
band whose cause is just; and il
there was any honorable way to do
it, they would lay down their arms
aud come home, aud leave behind
them free, independent and happy
people, albeit they may be uniu.OFed,
naked and poor.

WHAT farce 1.-The law" some
times seems to be. Here we have a
committee appointed by the Govern
ment devotlng days, weeks and
months to an Inquiry to determine
the character of meat furnished It's
soldiers, because of the horrible sus-
picion that perchance some of this
meat was not as fresh and Juicy as
was contracted for. All this time,
however, this same government, so
jealous of the meat its soldiers eat,
is selling to others the right to poi
son its soldiers with drink. Suppose
the committee should take up the
drink question as we'll as the meat
question, what a howl we would
hear about personal rights and the
liberty of the individual, and such
like. How many men died during
the recent war from eating embalm-
ed beef? How many died from
drinking mean whisky? 1t is against
the law to kill beef while it is
overheated or mad, and offer for
sale the meat thereof; but it is
strictly according to the statutes to
feed man on fire water that will
50 inflame his mind that he will
have no more reason or control over
himself than mad bull. 1t is un-
lawful to give man meat thought to
be tainted or the least unwholesome
but it is all right to poison him to
death with drink. So awfully par
ticular is Uncle Sam about his chill
dren's meat, that he even draws the
dead line on "ticky CATTLE" but the
dealer in rum, the manufacturer oil
