WE ARE THE PEOPLE.

Whitwell Tenn, Nov. IS, 1901.
We are reliably informed that recent
ly the members Of the Marion Co. Bar
met In Jasper to decide who should be
the candidate for Circuit Court Judge
in this district. We do not presume on
our ability to select for ourselves a can
didate for this office, but as that can
didate is to be selected from among the
members of the bar, it seems that they
should have been modest enough to say
nothing about it. But as they have de-
cided, no doubt, upon the proper per-
son to make the race, it only re-
mains for us to ask the question "Haye
the members of the Marion County bar
robbed the citizens of Marion county Of
the right to choose whom they will for
Circuit Court Judge?" Should that
have been a republican convention, re-
publicans would say that they had not
been deprived Of any privilege, what
ever, of choosing for themselves a suit
able man 20 make the race for Circuit
Court Judge; but as it was a democratic
convention it remains for every true,
loyal democrat to arise with indigna-
tion and denounce policy which robs
them Of the right to choose for them
selver the man who is to say what is
Justice between man and man.
Now gentlemen, let us ask a question:
If the republicans who are members Of
the bar, make the decision as to who
shall make the race for Circuit Court
Judge or any other office, when he is
elected who does that officer represent,
the people or the members of the bar?
Why the members of the bar, of course.
Then if the members of the bar decide
who shall make the race on the demo-
cratic ticket who does that office repre-
present? The members of the bar.
Then who are the people? The mem
bers of the bar AS an emperor once
said 81 am the people, " so the members
of the bar say now, I'VE are the people.
They represent us without our consent
They presume upon their ability to at
tend to all the business pertaining to
our public affairs and say "We are the
people, You fellows 60 along and dig
and toll and make your bread and meat
and we'll tend to this, Don't bother
your heads about it, Well look after it
for you.
We believe the members of the Mar
ion county bar got little out of their
places and would advise them in the flu
ture to be more discreet and we as citi-

There are always some self-styled

A DIPLOMATIC RUPTURE.
Turkey Notified by France of the
Severance of All Diplomatic
Relations.

Constantinople, Aug. 21.-The
French ambassador, NJ. Constans. has
notified the sultan's first secretary
that all diplomatic relations between
France and Turkey are broken off
and that the ambassador has in
formed his government to this effect.
N. Constans communicated direct
with the sultan because the latest
negotiations were transacted with
the sultan personally.
The ambassador justifics his action
on the ground that the sultan broke
his direct, personal promise, given to
NJ. constants at an audience in the
Nildiz palace. Thursday, regarding the
purchase of the quays and the settle
ment of the disputed French claims.
The foreign minister also gave formal
assurances that the agreement would
be carried, so, in view of this double
breach of faith, NJ. Constans holds
that it is impossible for France to
continue diplomatic relations with
Turkey.
