Candidates Are Held Up.

Nashville, Tenn, Feb. 27--Al.
though the actual battle between
the gubernatorial candidates has
not begun in Davidson county, the
Democratic primary committee is
already under fire from many direc-
tions. The plan of assessing can
didates for governor $500 each; for
railroad commissioner, SIS each,
and delegates So each, is being con-
siderably criticised. 1t is figured
that if each gubernatorial candi-
date has a set OF candidates for
delegates in each ward district, the
committee will corral something
like ST 900, and this sum, it is said,
is far beyond the expenses of the
primary. The committee proposes
that if there is surplus it shall go
to the United Charities at Nash
vile. This many of the leaders
look upon as hold-up, pure and
simple. They contend that if there
is any surplus it should be returned
proportionately to those who pay
the entrance fees.

stallion, Clarence S, 40804, which

trotting record of 2.19H made on a
half mile track.
Col. Dietzel now has three prime

than will perhaps be found on any
one farm in this entire section.
Col Richard Hughes will remain
as manager of the farm during this
season.

county's best citizens, died last
Tuesday of pneumonia. Mr.. Mich
OILS was about 81 years OF age. He
was for long time engaged in mill
ing and manufacturing lumber and

gard and esteem of his fellow citi-
zens. His character was broad and
strong. He buIlded we'll and what
he wrought was of the very best.
Squire Nichols was a member of
Obion County Court for fifteen
years, and his influence has left its
impress throughout all the county
transactions. He was a strong
friend and an honorable foe. He
wascharitable in his nature and con-
servative in his opinions. There
was no hypocrisy in his mold. He
was a stranger to unbelief, and
when he espoused cause his whole
soul and mind we're given to its
support. The deceased left large
family. Names of the children are
as follows: Alfred, William, Wal
ter, Matte, Ora, Essie. Ebert,
Ross, ALIVE. Walter, one OF his
sons, is a member of the Cobbs-
Nichols school faculty at Dresden.
Squire Nichols was a member of
the Methodist Church and a consci-
entious loyal follower OF the Chris
tan faith. He was an honest man,
the noblest work of creation, and
that is saying volumes. His mem
Dry is priceless legacy to the be-
reaved.
The remains were laid at rest in
the Union Grove Cemetery, services
being conducted by Rev. Carl.

st. Louis Live Stock Market.

Reported by Evans-Snider-Bue Co,
Live Stock Commission Agents.
National Stock Yards, H.. Feb,
%, 1906.-The week opened with
very light receipts of cattle and a
strong, active market; beef steers
regaining the loss noted last week,
whea at the close most sales showed
decline OF Is to 25 cents. A good
many plainish pretty good export
steers are selling from IS Is to IS so;
yet 1t takes a pretty good grade of
1850 to l250lb. steers to bring 81. 80
to $5.25. No fancy grades have been
here, thus accounting for the lack
of higher quotations, as nothing
prime as to flesh and quality would
sell around So 90. In short, the bulk
of the fat steers are selling from
81 IS to 81 90.
Butcher grades showed less de-
cline than beef grades last week
and likewise a little more strength
this week, values averaging shade
higher than notnd in our last let
ter Odd lots of stall-fed prime fat
cows have reached 81 so, but the
bulk OF the receipts sold from So. so
to 81. Is; cutters around SO 90 and
Gamers from s. 50 down. Some
sales show 10 to 20 cents advance
over week ago.
Owing to the severe storm the
fore part of the week, country buy
ers were scarce. as were also re-
ceipts in the stocker and feeder di-
vision. Yard traders are all pretty
we'll supplied with all but desira ole
grades and the trade is less active
than week ago.
We have the highest hog market
in the West, and extreme TOP OF
SO. 40 having been reuched here and
our values are 20 cents higher than
Kansas City and to 10 cents high
er than Chicago. Chicago had 90, 900
hogs on Monday which caused a
slight set back, but prices have
ruled steady to strong since with
the bulk of the packers selling So. Is
to So. Is; pigs and lights, SIPS to
IS. IS. Sheep trade unchanged.
Compared with year ago the
average prices of cattle are 81. IS
per cwt. higher; hogs IS cents high
err and sheep rs cents lower. With |
these facts before you, you should |
not hesitate to take advantage of |
these prices on anything that is
ready for market. With thirteen
inches of snow on the ground, coun-
try roads almost impossible and
lent coming on this week, it is
question what the near future will
bring forth.

Only Bulwark Against Revolution

THE House, based on population and elected by
direct vote coupled with Senate representing
territory and State entity, together constitute
governmental machinery that has served admirably
the purpose of compelling the recognition of the
rights and liberties of every section OF the country,
save those few instances when sectional and party
spirit have for the time created conditions of eX
treme partizanship and sectional hatred. But even
under these trying circumstances the Senate has
been the only bulwark against revolution and
threatened destruction to free institutions.
This is due entirely to the conservatism lnsep-
arabic from its origin.
In the evolution of events changes have been
wrought in governmental structure by two po-
tent causes: I. The immense immigration OF
people from Europe who are only partially informed
or are lacking in sympathy with the fundamental
principles of American institutions. These
foreign born citizens, many of whom know little
of history, have exercised profound influence
on our country 2. Then the unparalleled progress
of the nation along all industrial lines, the immense
wealth that has been garnered from our mines, our
forests and the products of fertile fields, have
contributed to produce conditions that were never
dreamed of by the fathers of the Republic, Party
spirit has lent its aid toward the transformation
that has been going on and al of these instrument

markable fact that Nevada has fewer people
than when it made State fifty years ago. Then,
Rhode Island, with twelve hundred and fifty square
miles of territory also has Senator's while Texas,
with two hundred and sXty-tive thousand seven
hundred and eighty square miles, has only two. 1t
would be interesting to give some further account
of these garing inequalities but space fOrbids.
Suffice it to say that the Senate regarded by
the founders of the Government the balance
wheel which would protect the smaller and weaker
States against the larger and more populous ones.
anger which might sweep over the country and
bring to Washington a House of Representatives
which would alone represent the popular will. 1t
has always been an axiom how tickle the people are,
and though "5or PoPnh, Del" has its sanctity,
it has not always been found best to trust imPlc-
itly to that sort of government. The people often
need protection from themselves The fathers, too,
We're somewhat distrustful of the common people,
and the dual form of government which they gave

House Represents Corporations

THE great corporations and business interests rep
resented in the banks and manufacturing indus
tries have of late years grown to have commanding
influences in shaping legislation and the House has
come to represent these rather than the masses of
the people. This is true, because these influences
have exercised controlling power in party con-
Der of representatives who are but tools in the hands
of these elements of national life While the
Senate has not escaped these same influences, and
in large degree represents them as the House does
the two bodies are wholly dissimiar in many
spects, and a comparison of their methods and work
is altogether TO the Senate's credit.
There have been some sad and dishonoring events
which will be chronicled by future historians rs
marking the decay and degeneracy Of the Senate
these first years OF the twentieth century. Sena-
tors have been charged with unlawful and more or
less dishonest acts and two OF them have been con-
Victcd in the courts of crimes which brought shame
and disgrace to themselves and humiliation ard
regret to every member OF the body. Others stand
pilloried in the public gaze as unworthy and unit
New-York tribune., 1906-04-29

talltles have united to subject our Government to
the severest possible test to determine whether
not it would be a durable structure
The House of Representatives, chosen by the di-
rect vote OF the people, has lost immensely in the
estimation OF thinking men in comparison with the
Senate, elected by the State Legislatures 1t has
shown IN recent years striking disability to pre-
serve Its own independence of utterance and action
| would not speak disrespectfuy of the House of
Representatives.; but under the Reed Rules as
they called, that body gagged and manaCled, Is
pOWerless in a measure, and its members can speak
and vote only under restrictions and limitations
that almost pitable far freedom of thought
and independence of action go. The Committee
on Rules dictates everything, limits debate
pels vote allows amendment when it wills
and IS an effective piece of machinery to place the
control of the House in the hands of the Speaker
and his half-dOzen lieutenants. To use the language
OF a witty correspondents YOU hear the clanklng
of chains when the puppets dance"
This has caused the House to lose its distinctive
characteristic as a delberative assembage and it
only occasions that there is permitted
freedom of debate clashing of mind against mind
that marked its slttlngS IN the past. The result
is that the House rapidly losing caste among
its own members, and it no longer wields the infu
in the affairs of the Government which it
did and for the loss of which it alone responsible
In the Senate the other hand there has always
obtained unlimited freedom of debate There is
absolute equality of opportunity for any and every
member to show the best that IS in him In the
Senate there is full deliberation, and though
matters OF legislation carefully considered and
almost always licked into shape in the committees,
it is only when the measure is a party that the
discussions in the Senate do serve to illuminate
the question and produce that wise and sautary
legislation which come only from perfect free
dom of discussion and a clash of mind against mind
in trying to reach solution. The change which
has been wrought the House that body to
register the will of few men rather than its
deliberative judgment and its legislation has
and of recent years been controlled largely
influenced by the executive. The Presidents

the thousands OF offices he has to I'LL.
