Mr.. Mckinley and Secretary Root
had clash of opinion as to the word
ing OF the rejection OF the action OF the
Cuban constitutional convention in
making Wholesale additions to the Platt
amendment, before accepting ii, that
threatened to be serious for a time.
Mr.. Root regarded the actions Of the
Cubans as violation of pledges made
by the Cuban delegates who visited
Washington and wished to tell them SO
in plain words. Mr.. Mckinley, while
not doubling the accuracy of Mr.. Roots
view, insisted upon making the reiec'
ton conciliatory, .and, Of course, had
his way. Secretary Root is very sore
on the subject, and has much smaller
opinion of the Cubans than he had
and privately calls them tricksters and
similar names.

Can't Hang Birchfeld.

A. V. DEADERICK

Jim Birchheld, the Hawkins county
wife murderer, was given sentence
last week Of thirty years in the state
penitentiary. The hearing of the case
took place at Rogersville before Judge
q. T. Campbell. Birchfield is one of
the most noted criminals that ever dar-
kened a prison door in the state. He
has killed two men and spent twenty
four years of his life in prison, having
served five terms. Two years ago he
went home drunk, and because his wife
did not have warm supper for him at
the midnight hour he shot her and set
fire to the cabin. 1t was many months
before Birchfeld was arrested, and
when tried first he was given a sentence
to hang, but the supreme court year
ago reversed the case on technicality.
1t is not likely that Birchfield will pray
another appeal .-Morristown Gazette.

Attorney-General Knox has done his
part toward avoiding decidedly en-
barrassing matter, by rendering an
opinion that claims resulting from the
destruction of the battleship Maine, in
Havana harbor, are national, and there
fore barred by the treaty of Paris from
consideration by the Spanish claims
commission. But some lawyers have
doubts as to whether that opinion will
stand legal test, and they are still
filing claims Of the Maine victims and
their heirs with the commission. In
order to decide these claims either way
it would be necessary to fix the respon-
sibility for the destruction of the Maine.

SOLDIERS HOME.

Congressman Walter p. Brownlow,
of the First district, spent a few hours
in the city today on private business.
While here, he was seen by Sentinel
reporter and was asked concerning the
progress being made towards the cree
ton of the new soldiers home at John

tects of the home, who will adapt the
plans of the buildings to the topog-
raphy of the land, and will plot the
ground for the location of the different
structures. The plans for the build
ings of the Johnson City home will be
practically identical with the plans for
the new home at Danville, ILL., This
home IS just now being completed and
is the most modern in its appointments
of any of the homes which have been
established. After the architects have
completed their work in connection
with the plans and maps, bids for the
erection of the structure will be sole
tied. The law requires that the plans
be open for bids for thirty days. |

Criticism From Senator Carmack on Su-
preme Courts Insular Decisions.


Memphis, Tenn, June g. Senator
f.. W Carmack today gave out n strong
statement of his views upon the recent
decisions by the United States Supreme
Court in the Porto Rico and Philippine
cases:
"The decisions" he said, "do not
seem to have satisfied everybody. /
see that some Of the friends of the Ad-
ministration are demanding a re-argu-
ment of the cases in order to have the
opinion of the court modified in GER
tain particulars. If the administration
really wants it modified, l have no
doubt that it will be modified in ac-
cordance with its desires.
"Ihe majority of the court evidently
started out with the fixed purpose of
making the opinion of the court accord
with the policy of the administration
They made the mistake of trying to
compromise with their own consciences.
Nobody, even those who were most
confident in their opinion that the
government is limited in its taxing
power by the constitution in the terri.
tories, as we'll as in the states, had any
doubt thatthe supreme court would de,
eide otherwise.

A young lawyer was employed in his
first case few days ago, and it hap
pened to be in our court. The charge
was simple assault and battery. The
young disciple of Blackstone announced
ready for the defense and the state
called its first witness and was about to
proceed when the young Blackstonian
arose, and, looking as wise as possible,
said: "Your Honor, / move to squash
this warrant, and gave as his reason
that "the evidence did not warrant an
indictment for felonious assault" This
was sumner, and as no evidence had
been heard, We told him that we did
not know what might turnip in the
case, and if he would lettuce we would
proceed with the trial. We told him
that he must not think that because we
allowed cabbage heads to practice in
our court that we would squash war

Has Mr.. Mckinley deserted high
protection and become a disciple OF
Blaine reciprocity and Babcock tariff
reform? Misunderstanding question has
been more or less discussed is Wash
ington for some time, and the number
of those who take the affirmative side is
steadily increasing. It will be remem-
bered that Mr.. Mckinley was unusual
ly persistent in his efforts to get the
Genate to ratify the reciprocity treaties
negotiated by his direction, and he
made no effort to hide his chagrin at
the failure of those efforts. Interest in
this matter was increased by the tele-
graphed report of a speech made at
Montreal by Mr.. Siegfried, o French
statesman who was a recent caller at
the white house, in which he quoted
Mr., Mckinley as having said to him
that he was no longer an extreme pro-
tectionist; that the time had come when
it was necessary to obtain new and
wider foreign markets and that tariff
concessions wonld have to be made to
get them. That statement is believed
to be substantially correct, although
white house officials decline to either
deny or affirm it. Another witness
along the same line is Mr.. Charles A.
Moore, president OF the American pro-
tective tariff league, who was with Mr..
Mckinley on his trip to the pacific
coast, and who has publicly stated that
Mr.. Mckinley was no longer an ex-
treme protectionist and that he was in.
tent upon trying to extend our market
through commercial reciprocity. Mr..
Moore went further and said that un-
less We could get more foreign market
reproductions would soon make
serious trouble for us. Compare this
sort of talk with the speeches made
when the Mckinley tariff bill was be.
fore congress, and yon get an idea OF
the radical change of mind these high
protectionists have undergone. The
original Mckinley tariff bill did not
provide for reciprocity at all, and it
was only by reading the riot act that
the late James G.. Blaine, then secre-
tary of state, succeeded in having a re-
ciprocity amendment added thereto,
There is food for the brains of thought
full democrats in this subject.

DECAYED SPOT.

'"The decision emphasizes the fact
that the Supreme Court is a decayed
spot in our Constitution. In the in
come tax decision the Supreme Court
stripped the Government of important
powers which it had possessed for more
than 100 years. These decisions clothe
: with power which for more than 100
years have been denied it. Both de-
cisions almost justify one in believing
that the court which was once regarded
as the mainstay of the Constitution,
has become q revolutionary tribunal,
engaged in a work of destruction.
81 know it is fashionable to describe
every man who expresses such senti-
ments as an anarchist, but they are
simply the sentiments which the four
minority justices expressed concerning
the opinion of the other five.
"My opinion is that those who are so
intent on breaking down the limita-
tons of the Constitution and in teach.
ing the people to dispose of it will rue
the day, for they are the very class OF
people who have appealed to it again
and again for protection against ex-
treme radical legislation. They cannot
continue forever using the Constitution
to protect their rights and breaking
through it whenever it suits their pur.
poses. The great anchor of a popular
government is reverence for established
principles. When this is lost, the gov.
eminent is at the mercy of every storm.
