A NEW LEADER.

Senator Carmack has sounded
the tocsin Of battle for the next
Presidential campaign. In the
brief space of few hours upon
the floor Of the Senate last week
he completely transformed the
machinery Of declining Demo
cratic minority, and inspired it
with new life and strength. In a
single speech upon the pending
Philippine tariff measure, involv-
ing the whole question Of our colo
NAL policy, he has leaped to the
front in he greatest body of leg
islators 10 the world, and practi-
cally established himself as min
ority leader. Not only that, he
has named the leading issue for
the Democratic party i'll the next
national campaign, upon which
the Democrats in Congress will
place themselves on record during
the present session, and upon
which the entire Democracy all
over the country in delegated
bodies will have asserted itself at
the proper time. 1t is true the
trust issue will loom up nightly
in that fight, but it is only a child
in proportion of magnitude and
belongs to a branch of the same
family.

lands for sale, will send brief de-
scription of the same to the rail-
road agent nearest them, giving
the prices and terms of sale. The
prices must correspond with the
prices asked of local buyers. The

Winter Scenes.

How fair is the earth to all human eyes,
With her trailing robes of purest white;
Adorned as a bride who awaits for her
husband
Decked with jewels of glittering light,
IT'S lovely to gaze on thy scenes,
OF hills, woodland and plain,
Like queen on her throne the fair
luna looks down,
A befiitting crown for such a glorious
reign.
The leaden-colored skies lowering
above US,
And the wintery air with its frost
ladened breath
And the signing wind with its restless
motion,
Reminds US the race tends downward
to Death.
Meath their shining and crystalline
robes,
The trees PROSTATE bend;
Like subjects before a monarch bow
Guided ever by Creators hand.
Like the sword of mighty conqueror,
In mid-air it brightly CLEANS;
Where the golden sunshine kisses,
What vision of beauty to the eye it
seems.
With awe and wonder we gaze GU this
ice-covered earth,
On scenes that are lovely and grand;
But remember it is the work
OF an advise Creators hand.

MAKE 1T ONE OF PROGRESS.


The following pertinent sugges.
tions by the Nashville American
for the platform to be made by
the Democrats at the May conven-
ton come in good season. AT
present we find no reason for OBJ
iecting to a single item; in fact, we
are prepared to say that we heart
lily indorse them as a whole, unless
we except the Election Commits
sion for the reason that we have
not given it thorough considera-
ton and the paragraph referring
to the separation of our colonial
policy from the reaf6rmation of
the cardinal principles of Democ
racy. That is hardly possible.
However, we are not particular if
the State convention does not
deem it necessary to dwell on ma
tional issues. The minority in
Congress, under the present ag
gressive leadership, is preparing
to take its stand, and the conven-
tons at the proper time will bold
ly declare and reafirm the princi-
pies of the party upon all issues.
May 30 the State Democratic con-
vention meets in this city to nominate
candidates for Governor and Railroad
Commissioner, and formulate plat
form on which the party will go be-
fore the people.
The Hon. James B. Frazier is the
unanimous choice of the Democracy
of the State for Governor and will be
nominated by acclamation.
The Hon. j. N. Mckenzie is in the
same position as to Railroad Commits
ion r, and will be chosen.
But what shall the platform contain?
The State stands upon the threshold
of an era of development unequalled
in its previous history. Shall that de-
velopment be retarded or accelerated
by legislation, and by the policy of the
powers that administer the States af-
fairs?
The answer rests in a large measure
with the State Democratic platform,
and the execution of the promises it
contains.
The platform should be made for
Tennessee and Tennesseans, not for
Cuba and the Cubans, or the Philip
pine Islands and the Filipinos, and
beyond a reatfirmation of the cardinal
principles of Democracy should not
enter upon a discussion of national is
sues.
Questions which contemplate their
amendments to the Constitution are
not considered for obvious reasons.
The platform should declare for:
The repeal of the present un-Demo-
cratic Election Commission law.
A constitutional fee law placing all
State and county officers on salaries.
A practical road law.
A practical and effective dog law
in counties whose representatives de-
Wand it.
A no fence law in counties whose
representatives demand it.
better schools and more school days
for country children.
County high schools in counties
where the revenues will permit.
Manual training and agricultural
in public schools and those
by public funds.

Of one of the members present
"labored the whole night and &C
complished nothing" They talked

hours and then Representative
Serene E. Payne came in and told

to the same conclusion, they ac-
cepted his dictum and adjourned.
A sharp tilt occurred recently in
/ the Senate Committee on Inter
Oceanic canals when Senator Nor
gan, chairman of the committee,
openly accused Senator Hanna OF
wilfully obstructing canal legisla-
ton. Senator Morgan, SO | I'm
told, even went 50 far as to accuse
the Senator from Ohio of greater
soIicitude for his friends, the trans
continental railroads, than for the
updubitably expressed wishes of
the American people. Senator
Hanna is said to have turned very
red under the Alabamiaa's charges,
and then to have denied them in
no uncertain terms, and q more Sc
we're encounter was only prevented
by the interference of the other
members of the committee. When
the canal question comes up for
consideration on the floor of the
Senate the same accusations are
likely to be implied, but in more
yelled form, and it is hardly likely
that the dignitied Senate will be
treated to the dramatic scene which
occurred in Senator Morgan's com
mittee room.
Represel tltiye,Sibley, of Penn
sylyania, told me yesterday that
he was unchanged in his opposition

cation Till and that he felt it to be
his duty to work and speak against
it. He said: II am a farmer my
self and | know the difficulties with
which the farmers have to contend,
the long hours they have to work
and the depreciation of the value
of their lands, at least in the East
ern States, which has confronted
them. OF course | realize that the
time will come when it will be
proper and expedient for the Fed
eral Government to lend hand
towards the irrigation of the arid
lands of the West if 1t can be done
without it's operating to the adj
vantage of a few large land own
ers rather than to the advantage
of small farmers and would be set
tiers, but the time is not yet ripe.
The farmers of the East have seen
hard times and have battled fear
full odds and now that they begin
to see day light there come to Con
gress men who would add vast
acres to the present area of tilla-
BILE land and increase the competi-
lion which in the past has been SO
Keen as to make farming the most
aborious and least profitable of
he professions. These gentlemen
from the West are on the right
rack but they are away ahead of
lime. The time will come when
he manufacturing interests of this
country will have vastly increased,
md the home market will have in
creased proportlonately and there
will be ample demand to consume
vt good prices all the farmers prod
lets. Then | will be glad to see,

Deaf and Dumb Racket Works
Man Into the Gang.

The nerviest tramp ornamenting(?)
the streets of Americas in some time
was furnished transportation to the
changing few days ago by Judge
Crisp, in the city court. The tramp, a
big strapping, able-bodied white man,
had been working the town, playing
the deaf and dumb racket having
printed cards to that effect. After
reaping harvest of dimes among the
too charitably inclined people here
the tramp got gay and began talking,
giving away the snap. Fearing he
might be prosecuted for obtaining
money under false pretenses, he begg-
ged to be allowed to go, promising to
leave town instanter. AS protection
to other towns, however, Judge Crisp
sent him up for six months or pay $50
fine.-Amer1cus Times.
