Two Tennessee Orators.

Bishop Gailor's address at the JEFF
ferson Davis memorial service at
Christ Church was a rare piece of elo-
quence. Always an crater who leads
his auditors to nobler imaginings, he
spoke on this occasion as one inspired, /,
and inspired by his theme he was, for
it was of the sorrows, of the valor, the
sacrifices and heroism of Southern
men and women during the days that

nessee is rightfully proud.
A few hours later Gov. Frazier at the
Tabernacle, with the same theme for
his inspiration, welcomed the veterans
to Tennessee in speech which arous
ed the highest enthusiasm of the thou
sands who heard it, and which in de
livery and thought was worthy of thu
splendid demonstrations it evoked. =

memorable in our history, when the
failures reached 8, 1873 and the liabili-

was fourth interval of stagnation and
disturbance, when the number of fail

again increased, this time to 1894, 1888, :
1872. In 1884 the fifth depression
caused the record of failures to reach
almost the same figures. Finally in

A Federal Judge has cut out some
new work for the President. His hon
or, being displeased at the Wilkesbo-
rough, N. c.. hotel, made complaint
"to President in person concerning g
what he terms the lack of fitting ac-
commodations for man of position,
saying that the hotel at Wilkesborough
was beneath his dignity" The Judge
has taken his troubles to the riget
place. 1t is true there is nothing in
the Constitution prescribing the Pres
dents functions in the way of running
hotel, but that is of no importance.
1t is not necessary that Mr.. Roosevelt
run hotels in his off cial capacity any
more than it is that he run coal mines
in that capacity. And who doubts that
Mr.. Roosevelt knows how to run no
tel? AT least the particular jurist
most concerned is confident of that,
and it is safe to say that this confidence
is fully shared by President and Mrs.
Roosevelt. Courier Journal.

SILLY STATEMENT
Contained In the Rep ubiican Platform
Acts as a Boomerang.

The author of the Republican plat
form, presumably Senator Dedge, who
may have had the assistance and GER
tainly had the approval of Mr., Roose-
velt, makes the following sweeping
statement. "a Democratic tariff has
always been followed by business ad-
versity, a Republican tariff by busi-
ness prosperity"
A keen French observer remarks
that man who repeats a statement Of
ten enough will gain credence for it
even from himself. The entirely un-
founded and absu rd declaration in the
Republican platform so fully meets
these conditions that it is to be infer
red that the distinguished gentlemen
are victims Of the spell of repetition.
If either of them had paused for FIVE
minutes, just long enough to remem.
ber how many Republican and Demo
cratic tariffs there have beeh in our
history, he would have saved his party
from committing itself in this formal
manner te gross misrepresentation of
facts.
The Republican party came into
power in 1861; this clearly fixes the pc
riod in which comparison between the
Republican and Democratic tariffs and
their consequences must be made.
Since that date there have been half a
dozen times of great depression in bus
mess which were accompanied by
enough excitement of the public mind
to be called pa MICS. The first occurred
in the spring o t 1861 and was due whol
ly to the impending contest with seoes-
sion. The second occurred in 1861,
