reputation in the six years of his term.
He is still a young man, and tempo
rary defeat does not close his career.
During President McKinley's admins
tration Senator Pritchard practically
controlled the patronage of the south.
He was Mckinley's trusted friend and
adviser. They became intimate when
Mckinley was a member Of the house.
During Mr.. McKinley's presidential!
term he twice offered Senator Pritch-
ard places in the cabinet and once IN
important judicial position. The
temptation to accept was very strong,
but Senator Pritchard is entirely self
made. When he was IL years old he
was apprenticed to a printer who was
a hard master. He ran away, crossed
the mountains of his native Tennessee,
and started life friendless, poor and
alone in western North Carolina. He
studied law without assistance, and
the aristocratic members of the bar
at Asheville tried to make his legal
examination so difficult that he could
not get his license to practice law. In
spite of this, he passed a brilliant eN-
animation, was admitted, and has
steadily risen since. He is admitted
to be a statesman of unusual breadth.
but above all he is a lawyer. He loves
the law, and, as he has a strong, clear
voice, a good delivery, and fine com.
mand of language, lie is much sought
after in criminal cases. His law prac-
tice pays him far more than the sena.
torship and is more congenial to him
He is identified with large business
interests in this section, but his party
leaders will not allow him to attend
to his private affairs. He is a trusted
friend of Hon. Mark Hannaan stumpe6

Blunders of Democrats.

The democratic party is celebrated
for its talent in making mistakes, but
it never made a bigger blunder than
in approving the filibuster in the last
house of representatives because Rep
resentative Butler, of ST. Louis, was
unseated. There may be circum-
stances or conditions under whicHa
parliamentary flibuster may be .justi-
fled or mitigated, but this was not
such a case. Buffers pretended cleo
ton was rotten with fraud, and after
giving him the benefit of every pos
sible doubt and a majority in SO pre-
cincts where the voting was admitted
ly honest the established frauds in the
remaining precincts Of the district
were more thar enough to defeat him.
He richly deserved unseating. A party
that filibusters in defense of fraud
lacks leadership as well as issues.-In-

THE RACE PROBLEM
AMONG THE CHER0KEES

The race problem IN the Cherokee ma
tiOn Is solved to the general satisfaction
of the three races concerned and the in
termediary mixed bloods. In the IOca-
tion OF homes the Cherokee fullblOods
alld negroes are mostly in settlements.
The intermaTried whites largely are in
toxins and territory contiguous 10 each
other. The Cherokee speaking citizens
much prefer TO associate together.
In the nation there are thirty schools
attended by fuilblOod Cherokee children
and seventeen by negro children The
negro blood schools are not so by legal
requirement. but as a corollary of their
preference to live near each other. The
Cherokee and negro do not inteTmarry
or socially mingie. Two seminaries and
an orphan asylum are attended by full
bloods and mixed blcOds only. the col
oTed high school by negroes Only.
In the incorporated school districts
whites and Indians attend the same

Both sides are better satisfied in the

prices were advanced l to points

LOOT CITY TREASURY

Unique Schemes Reso-ted to by Clever

One result of the present graft in

sons claiming to- have suffered personal
injuries on account of municipal negli-
gence and the remarkably large pro-
portion OF these in which the COM
pIainants have obtained substantial
damages at heavy loss TO the depleted

The bringing OF damage suits against
the city seems to have become an ex-
tensive and profitable industry. All
