Carmack on Funston.

The criticism of Gen. Funston by
Senator Carmack, in the course of his
speech on the Philippine bill, will be
enjoyed from one end of the country to
the other, and here in Tennessee it will
call to mind the strength of Mr.. Car
mAck's sarcasm and ridicule when he
was following the profession of jour
nalism No man in the senate is near
er master of ridicule than Senator
Carmack, and if any one of his fellow
senators can approach him III point of
sarcasm we do not know who he is.
Certainly it was the worst faying Fun
stan has yet received, and it must have
done old Senator Hoar's heart good to
hear it. Funstan was not the only
person put on the rack by the senator
from Tennessee, either. The whole
administration at least that portion of
it actively engaged in pushing the Phil
ippine policy came in for share of
the merciful arraignment. 1t was a
fine speech, 1t covered the subject fully,
and struck decisive blow to the intol-
Grant abuse and villification that has
been heaped upon United States sena-
tors by such bloodthirsty coyotes as
Funston seems to be.
The roprimand given Funston by
President Roosevelt two days ago was
probably the most severe ever admins
tered by a president Of the United
States TO an army officer. On top OF
this, we are of the opinion that no ar
my officer ever caught such lashing
from a United States senator as Mr..
Carmack gave Funston yesterday. II
Funston has any regard for the good

Senator Carmack at His Best.

Senator Carmacks speech on the
Philippine question must have given
the slow-bodies of the senate some
queer sensations. 1t was Carmackian,
but not in the least senatorial in style.
In the first place, there was not dull
sentence in it. From first to last it was
a corruscation of lively salies, humor-
GUS illusions and sarcastic thrusts at
men and measures of the majority. AS
an argument il will not be seriously
considered, but as a specimen of catchy
rhetoric and brilliant play of wit and
fancy it will take rank as the most no
table speech that has been delivered in
the senate in years. Even those who
differ radically from Mr.. Carmack in
opinion, will admit that he is one Of
the most attractive orators in congress.
There is no danger of anybody going
to sleep while he is talking. Memphis

Something Better for Evans.

Washington, April 20.-The Chatta-

informed that the president today ten

London to Commissioner of Pensions

cepted the position. The nomination

cally all of the courtesies extended to
the ambassador. The office is a most

What is the U. S. senate for, anyway !?
When man makes a speech that has
something in it and is listened to, like
Carmack's, he is called all sorts of

senate he should leave his brains be-

Mrs. DwYer Dead.

Wednesday evening about 8 O'Clock
the wife of Rev. Calvin Dwyer died
from heart failure. She was at her
home in her usual health and remarked
to the children that she was going to
lie down for moment, as she did not
feel well. In a few moments she was
dead. Death robbed q household of a
good mother and wife without a mo-
ments warning. Mr.. Dryer was away
from home at the time. The funeral
services were conducted at the Christ
ian church Thursday afternoon and the
remains laid to rest in Oak Grove.

will resign and accompany his resigna-
ton with a statement in writing to the
effect that he recognizes that he is not
fit to hold a commission. This, we be-
lieye, is the only sensible course for
Funston to pursue. After all that has
happened, he will be the butt of ridicule
for every man above him or below him
in the army. When Senator Carmack

We are told that Seaboard Air Line
