NEWSPAPER OPINION

Policy
From the Nashville American Dem
If the question OF surrendering the
Philippines is not made the leading, or
a leading issue in the next national
campaign it will not be the fault Of
some of the Senators of the Democratic
minority. Il seems to be the misfOr-
tune of the Democratic party that il
has fallen into a condition in which it
is possible for those to assume to be
leaders. and to be so recognized, and
who in the better and drawer days of
the party would have been among the
last to be selected as material for
leadership.
II such leadership. If II is leadership,
is TO continue and is to be followed,
the party will be finally forced to put
mp It's shutters and go out of business.
or else continue as the sad remnant
and enfeebled ghost of a once great
and powerful party The mistakes and
plumbers of the last two campaigns
seem to have taught nothing to some
OF those who aspire to be leaders OF
who assume TO speak for the party.
Is It because they are incapable of
learning? Or is 1T because they prefer
personally 10 pursue a cheap and easy
course which requires neither ability
nor courage and which has brought
them into some notoriety, as the wave
of Populism brought obscure men tenn
porarily to the front? These seem ia
be able to view with some degree OF
lcomplacency continued national defeat
so long as they are permitted to parade
as party leaders and patriots during
the campaigns. and to occupy the few
best offices which the comparatively
few Democratic States and districts
stin have at their disposal-such al
governor senator. congressman. Blu
while this situation may be Target!
satisfactory TO them Il is rather rough
on the party as a whole.
IF any Democrtic leader. sO-called
thinks that the American voters vii
rahy to the standard of any party OF
the proposition to surrender the Phil
ippine Islands. which are as much tn
! property OF the United States as IN
District OF Columbia. he Is inexcusabl
ignorant OF the temper and spirit O
the American people. The noisy fey
who are clamoring for a policy of SUI
render may deceive a few individuals
but il any party allows itself to be d,
Q ceived and misled as to their number
r by their noise IL will not fail to met
10 with a rude awakening.

LADIES AT DINNER
From the Position of Carver to the
Principal Seat.

Principal seat.
The presence Of ladies at dinner-was
brought about by necessity more than
by the gallantry due to their sex.
Servers and henchmen were superseded
by lady carvers, who worked at a side
table. In Elizabethan times Mt private
dinners it became usual to place the
principal joints and grand pieces at
the upper end of the table, above the
salt, so the chief guests could see the
joints and secure choice helpings. We
have something Of this kind in the hab-
1t which prevails at restaurants of first
showing the game, poultry, etc, to the
diners before carving. The place which
came to the fair sex from necessity was
soon claimed by them as their right,
and they passed from the mental posi-
ton of carver to the occupiers of the
principal seat. The lady had helpers
who deemed it an honor to serve her
in their turn.
In this duty Of semiprofessiOnal cary
er lies one Of the first causes Of the
paper frills for legs of mutton, etc, for
it was used in every case where the op-
orator had to grasp some tangible part
of the joint with the left hand. In 1853
a grand dame suggested that it would
appear more comedy and decent to use
fork" this in spite of existing pref
udice.
1t was at this time, too. that travellers
from Holland introduced into England
the fashion Of seating men and women
alternately, the adoption Of which put
an end to lady carvers. Then the au-
thor Of 1.-THE Cooks Oracle" suggested
that joints and large birds should be
carved before they came to table, thus
starting the now prevailing fashion OF
carving at the side table

The Trusees Of the Poor owe it to
the people of this county to select a
competent man as superintendent OF
the County Hospital lie should not
be a man who is able TO control so
many votes in his district, but a man
who knows how 20 conduct the county's
affairs in the Farnhurst institution in
the most economical way. Further
more the wife of the superintendent
should be a hlousekeeper Of ability.
Names OF several good men have been
mentioned, but there may be other com
petent persons who hesitated about
making application for the place The
subject deserves most careful consider
alton by the trustees.

SAVED BY DUST.
How n Handful OF SOIdiers Fooled
General Early.


did ever tell you hos clouds of
dust once saved Washington city from
what many people believeg would have
been certain capture at rhe hands Of
the COnfederatesY askedSa member of
the old Veterans ReserveI corps, which
was on duty at Fort Stevens during the
war.
1T was when the Army of Northern
Virginia was just outside the Capital
City You may remember that General
Early, who was in command Of this
particular division of the Confederate
forces, in writing to refute statements
published in northern papers to the eff
feet that he could easily have marched
into Washington, said: L knew the de-
lenses were weak when ! arrived but
my troops were so exhausted from the
enforced march that halt was abso-
lutely necessary, and the next morning
/ knew, by clouds Of dust, that re-en-
forcements had arrived
''That dust, gentlemen, was raised by
few men, not exceeding 100, Of the
Veteran Reserve corps. The Temporal
ry commander of this company, stout
man of medium height, whose name or
rank l did not learn, because he wore
no blouse or insignia, placed the men IN
line in the rear of and between Fort
Stevens and Fort Slocum. After max
ing a short speech in which he urged
every man to do his best he directed
us to march down some distance on the
grass past Fort Stevens. Once there
he told us to break ranks and right
about, returning in the middle Of the
road and kickingfup all the dust we
possibly could.
We doubled on the line, marching
down on the grass and coming back in
the dusty road. 1t was n dry season.
and we all had on broad soled shoes.
We made the dust fly, tell you, and
It is no wonder General Early thought
re-enforcements by the thousands had
come to the relief of the handful on
duty at the forts. "-Washington. Star.
