In Nashville, Vanderbilt on Thursday
defeated Sewanee in the annual game,
the score being 10 to s. 1t was a hard
fought struggle without spectacular
runs, the gains being for the most part
made by fierce assaults ana PUSHES,
which were at all times resisted with
stubbornness born of desperation. For

the rivalry of almost generation
nerved the players of either size to do
their utmost.
Twenty eight minutes had elapsed
before Vanderbilt was able to cross the
goal line that had not been crossed
before this season. and Vanderbilt mad
the best of the argument, for the play
had been all III Sewanee's territory.
At one time the ball WAS on her one

When Scarborough punted fro u the

back from near Sewanae's twenty
yard line. Sewanee's line held fast
and Kyle's run was stopped back of

SECOND HALF.
The second half was not unlike uy !

A Barbershop story.

One of the most remarkable barber
shop stories extant has local setting,
and is absolutely vouched for by one
of the most truthful men in Balti-
more, says the Baltimore American.
A gentleman who wanted shave
stepped into a we'll known barbershop
The barber bowed and smiled a po-
lite good morning.
The gentleman hung up his hat and
waited until there was an empty chair
A workman quietly said, You're
next" and the man took his place in
the chair.
The barber prepared him for shaving,
adjusted the chair to the most COM
Portable pose, and without word went
right ahead and shaved him.
The barber didn't ask him if he
wanted a haircut.
He didn't remark They're gettin' a
little long. sir.
He didn't say Shampoo to-day, sir?"
He didn't talk politics.
He didn't comment on the weather
or the news of the day.
He didn't try to get confidential.
The BARRIERS didn't stand and kid one
another while they worked.
The one who was doing the work
didn't say "Gettin' little thin on top
there-little tonic?'
He didn't ask Comb 'em dry?"
In short, he did none of the things
the funny men say BARRIERS do.
But the most remarkable thing about
it was that the man who got shaved
was not in the least astonished at that
sort of treatment.
He had expected it, for that. despite
the multitudlnous jokes sprung by the
funny men. is the way things are in
modern harbershop when the custom

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Cleveland co. Plain-D Dealer
(Dem.) says: Cuba and her friends
in this country have more to hope
from an aroused public sentiment,
which cannot have been lost upon Con-
gress, than upon any genuine change
of heart in those who have so per-
sistently opposed the reciprocity meas
ure."
The Louisville Courier-Journal (Dem.)
says: THE President is careful to
say that this case stands by itself ,
He says that this will benefit many
American industries. How? Obvious
ly by extending our markets in con-
sequence of the concessions made by
Cuba in return for concessions made
by US. But other countries are WILL
ing to make concessions on similar
terms. 1t is worth while. therefore,
for the President or some one for him
to show why this reduction of duties
should be confined to Cuba. If we
were merely redeeming pledge which
binds us in honor. we might stop at
this. But the President says we are
not merely keeping our word, but gain
ing important advantages. Why not
extend these advantages?
The Washington Post Qnd.) says:
"Our experiences during the past five
years have Injured us to surprise. We
venture to assert that if the President
or any member of his cabinet were to
visit the theater at this time and see

TRAVELLING OVER THE SAME
GROIND.

We are sure the public. at the close
of the last session, hoped that the
Crum case and the Crumpacker bill
had been laid on the shelf that nothing
more would be heard of them, but 1t
seems that we are to have the facts
in the Crum case again and that the
Crumpacker bill is to be one Of the
subjects which the Washington cor
respondents viii discuss when they
have nothing else out of which to make
copy.
1t isn't known OF course what the
Senate viii do with the Crum case
but the impression seems to be That
it viii now confirm his nomination.
The committe which has charge Of
rofhfnations has been changed, and
the indications are that the appoint
ment will be reported favorably, and
therefore confirmed. however great the
effort of Senator Tillman may be to
defeat it,
As for the Crumpacker bill, nothing
will be done with that. Congress does
MT want to get into a discussion Of
the race question. In all parts of the
North there has been q remarkable
change of sentiment in respect to the
negro, and congressman have noticed
it.
The negro isn't popular in the East
or the West. In those sections he isn't
wanted. The labor element doesn't
want him. and employers don't want
him, except in few localities where
domestic servants are scarce. 1t is
hardly probable therefore that the
Crumpacker bill will get further than
the committee to which it has been re-
ferred.
1t is true that a political situation
may be brought about in which the
Republican party will want the as
sistance of the negro vote. In that
case the bill may be brought forward
and a pretense of passing it made, but
it is a safe prediction that the bill in
it's present shape or any other shape
will not get through Congress.
There isn't going to be any
serious attempt to reduce the
representation in Congress of those
states which have practically taken the
ballot from the negro.

SENATOR GoRMAN AND THE WILL
son BILL.

II seems strange, in the light of the
facts, that Senator German should
ever have been charged with having
betrayed the cause of tariff reform.
Yesterday we gave the testimony of ex-
Senator Butler of South Carolina, show
ing that Senator German was no more
responsible for the Senates action on
the Wilson bill than any other Dem
ocratic senator. In Thursdays WASH
ington Post there was published a let
ter from ex-senator Pugh of Ala
bama, in which he makes practically
the same statement that was made by
ex-senator Butler. Mr.. Pugh says
that in the caucus of the Democratic
senators that was called by Senator
German to consider the Wilson tariff
BILL he was one OF the first speak
ers. He announced to the caucus that
he would not support the bill because
iron and coal We're on the free list.
He offered an amendment to put them
on the dutiable list. Alabama being
great producer of iron and coal, Mr.
Pughs constituents were violently OPP
posed to the Wilson bill as it passed
the House.
In the same caucus, Senator White
of Louisiana made a violent attack
on the bill because sugar was on
the free list. He insisted that it be
put on the dutiable list. The caucus
couldn't agree upon the bill and there
was an adjournment. The respects
in which the bill was subsequently
amended, so. that it could be passed.
is matter of history, but MIR. Pugh
says that Senator German offered no
amendment to the bill and isn't any
more responsible than any other DEM
ocratic senator for the amendments
to the bill.
1t is evident that somebody has been
trying to put Senator German in a
false light before the country. The
reason is plain. He is looming up as
q candidate for the Democratic nomi-
nation for President. Indeed just at
present he is the most prominent can
didate. The opposition to him in ehis
party aims to destroy his chances of
getting the nomination. From the
way the friends of Senator German are
coming to his assistance, making
plain the falsity of the charges against
him, it will not meet with success.

MORGAN TO LOSE HIS PLACE.

Senator Morgan will be deposed from
the position of chairman of the Com
mittee on Interoceanic Canals. There
isn't any doubt about that 1t seems
unjust to put him out of a position he
has filled SO ably. No other man in
the country has fought so long, so
hard and so intelligently for the sue
cess of an isthmian canal but the Re-
publicans say that he isn't really en-
titled to the place, that he ceased to
be in sympathy with a majority of
the Senate on the canal question when
he opposed the adoption of the Panama
route, and that he is still further out
of harmony with the forces that are
in control of the canal situation be-
cause he doesn't approve of what has
been done recently on the isthmus of
Panama in the interest of canal con-
cessions.
1t is true of course that the Repub-
leans have the. right to the chairman
ship of the committee. but as Senator
Morgan has held the place so long it
would seem as if it would be but right
10 let MIN Fetatn II. 1t is Df0DaDle
that when the Craftsmanship is taken
away from him and given to Senator
Hanna he will resign from the COM
mittee altogether. II isn't believed he
will serve under Senator Hanna. They
aren't on friendly terms. and it
wouldn't be pleasant for either of them
for him to be on the committee.
1t win be hard for Senator Morgan
to give up the place. AS chairman of
the Committee on Interoceanic Canals
he has done much of the best work of
his life. He is i'm his SOth year, and to
be removed from place with which
he has been so long and prominently
connected is likely to be a pretty Sc
we're blow TO him.
