SUNS RISE AND SET.

A correspondent writes an interest
ing story of scenes attending the ex-
piration of the old Senate and the
meeting of the new. The death of
the old was something of an Irish
wake in respect of some of the Sena-
tors whose terms had ended and who
were concluding their official life.
Senator German of Maryland re-
turned from exile and resumed his old
place of leader of the Democratic side
of the Senate. The man who came in
on the high tide that rose against the
Democracy in 1896. Wellington, wen1
out on the ebb tide. He had long
been out of touch with his party, and
since his beastly reference to Nc
Kinley, in the contest that arose over
the awarding of the offices in Mary
land had been Stunned by he men,
bers of both parties. The correspon-
dent says:
Senator Germans desk was COM
pletely hidden with numbef"bf mag
nificent floral designs, one standing not
less than ten feet high. All bore the
oriole colors, yellow and black. Sen
ator Hopkins had the largest number
of floral remembrances on the Repub-
lican side of the chamber. Senators
Foraker, Spooner. Platt of Connecti-
cut. Allison, and German were the
recipients of vociferous applause as
they came forward to be sworn.
One of the missing faces in the
new Senate is that Of Senator Jones
of Nevada, who has served for thirty
years and has long been recognized as
an able authority on tariff questions.
Senator Allison took the oath for his
sixth term, the longest on record.
Among the retiring Senators was Mr..
Vest, long and affectionately known
as The Little Giant of Missouri.
He had many warm friends on the
Republican side of the chamber and
was regarded as the representative of
the best element among the Democrat
ic Senators. He was the last man in
the Senate who had served as a men,
Der of the Confederate Congress. Sen
ator Simon of Oregon was one of the
departing. He had never mingled
with his colleagues. Reserved and
taciturn, he never seemed to be able
to understand the spirit of the Senate
or to take in good part the joking to
which every new Senator must SUBJ
nit. He had held himself aloof from
the first and expressed great satisfac-
tion at the conclusion of his public
service -
BILLY Mason of Illinois, who
won applause for some good things
said and done in the earlier years of
his term, degenerated into something
of senatorial plug ugly. and in bitter
ness and anger talked to death local
bill on which Senator Bailey Of Texas
was TRYING to secure a vote. And so
the curtain fell, ON the spite of Ma
son, and on the wrath of Morgan by
similar means obstructing considera-
ton of the Panama canal treaty.

None Ever Repealed

"No tempera nee law in Tennessee has
ever been repealed and none will ever
be. OF course if there were no organi
cation to meet this organization of the
saloon mon they might be able to &C
complish their ends. But fortunately
the Anti-Saloon League is here, aud is
here to stay.
II may add that am not a long hair
ed man. Nor do know any long haired
men or short haired women who are
prominent in this temperance work in
Tennessee. We are men and women, for
the mos part Christian men and Won
en-, who have grown tired of the presence
of these body destroying and soul damn
ing saloons in our loved State, with
their insoeDce and their lawlessness,
and no amount Of ridicule, no amount
of money can serve to deter US from
what we believe is the God given work
of driving out and keeping out these sa
looms from Tennessee. With 85 per cent.
of the people of the State behind US we
fear neither the saloon keepers nor the
wholesale liquor dealers nor tho brewers
and distillers either of Tennessee or Of
the United States, with all their money
and Vaccinations.

One hears 10 Washington, especially

deal of scornful talk about those news

of dissipation, chiefly, we imagine, be
cause it is habit which puts no strain

ever, is more general than might be
supposed. Otherwise good and honest
men indulge themselves in it much
too frequently, and really, Well-meanlng

Will Be All In Vain.
NASHVILLE AMERIcAN.l

DIR. f. f. Polk. President and Acting
Superintendent OF the tennessee Anti
Saloon League, returned to the city
Monday, after an absence of several
days attending associations in East and
Middle Tennessee
"Yes," he said, in reply TO a query
by an American reporter. 81 have seen
the dispatch from Memphis published
in last Saturdays American, stating
that the liquor dealers IF the State are
organizing to secure the repeal OF the
Adams law"
what have you to say about it?"
"Seyerai things. In the first place l
want to indLrse very heartily the edi-
torial in Sundays American on the
subject, ana thank you for it. The
saloon men are evidently dying very
hard. They had better take their med
icine ike little men or they may get
worse dose This dispatch shows
that the saloon men are Democrats for
revenue only AS a matter of fact
they do not care the snap of their fin
ger for party. They belong to the
Democratic or Republican party only
as it suits their personal interests, as
they openly confess in the dispatch from
Memphis.
1.-The saloon men seem to forget that
there are now only twelve counties IN
the State with saloons, against eighty
four counties without saloons. They
seem TO forget the overwhelming ma
jorities with which saloons were voted
out of the various towns of the State.
They seem to forget that there are
fewer people in these towns in favor
of saloons now than there we're before
they were voted out, while the tenn
perance sentiment is much stronger.
The saloon men may as well make up
their minds that the saloon is, gone
out of the most of Tennessee-and has
gone to stay. No political party will
ever father movement to repeal the
bill. Whatever party should
do so would be buried under an ava
lanche Of public sentiment, and of votes,
so deep that it would be long before it
would hear the resurrection trumpet.

think that either party will ever be

II am sorry for those saloon keepers
who are out of job, but ] am very
glad they are out of the job they had.
If they are not able now to earn support
for their families, there are great many
other men off of whom these saloon
keepers have been living who are now
able to support their families. 1t is
question as whose family shall be sup
ported. 1t is a question also of MAORI
ties. Shall many families be impover

keepers may be supported? Are they
the wards of Tennessee? Do We owe
them living?

men are fraudulent, objectionable, IN
ferior, distasteful. Society would be all

not for the newspapers. But for those
pestiferous and unprincipled and vulgar

no defender. We haye no thought of
thrusting a defense upon them, We
content ourselves with the statement
based upon many years OF close
familiarity with the personnel OF all the
classes rentioned-that the journalists
in Washington, compared with the riff
raft of greasy parvenus, and fawnlng
courtiers, and society Founders who
defile the surface of our community are
as pure wine to the most UNIV bolesome
dishwater. They are better born, better
bred, better educated, more honest, and
worthy, and useful than the whole
impudent and frowsy contingent put
together. Moreover, we venture to say
that the real people of this town will
affirm our proposition with cordial
unaI unity.
