Spooner resigned his seat. 1t is diff
ficult to determine which party suffer

lily be compared. One might say tha
Carmack was the Hazlitt of the Sen
ate and Spooner the Senate's Black

way-in the Senate Carmack was Jun

into the military, Carmack was Henry

sau. We think Of the brilliant Tennes-
sean as irresistible, of the able Wis
consan as impregnable Carmack is
a metaphysician; Spooner is a jurist.
Carmack is a rough rider like Forrest;
Spooner is schooled engineer like Nc
Clellan. Both are great statesmen.
One graduated from the bar, the 9th
er from the newspaper, from general
literature, and from the bar.
Another thing can be said of these
two men. The Senate needs them
more than they need the Senate. When
Carmack went out it was like the
Cleveland baseball club releasing La
joie; when Spooner left, it was like
Hans Wagner refusing to sign a con-
tract. The Senate has lost two of
its best players. The national game
of politics, in its greatest theatre, is
thus nightly cheapened.
Spooner left the Senate because it
was necessary to save money for
rainy day. He will practice law. Car
mack left the Senate because envy
loves a shining mark He, too, will
practice law Carmack had no money
when he got to the Senate and none
when he left it. He would die a poor
man If money grew on trees in Ten
nessee and was to be'bad for the pluck

CARMACK AND SPOONER
IN THE PRIVATE STATION

it's policy, and he might vary the thing
with 100 nights per annum on the lee
ture platform.
Mr.. Carmack retired from the Sen
ate at a particularly inauspicious time,
] because he gave an intimation that
he was prepared to answer Mr.. Bever-
idge's speech on child labor in the
States. Circumstances did not allow,
however, and that wonderful produc-
ton as yet remains unanswered. Haz-
| lit, in one of his fine essays, enumer.
ates the varied and wonderful accom-
plishments of Lord BrOugham, the as
tonishing versatility of that tireless
mind and the stupendous tasks it ac-
complished. Hazlitt closes the pas
sage with this compliment: He is even
able to follow the meanings of Mr..
Canning's speeches" l assume that
Mr.. Carmack is able to follow the
meaning of Mr.. Beveridge's speeches,
or he would not have sought opportu
nifty to answer that on child labor. 1t
is unfortunate that he did not reply
to the Indiana statesman, for / much
doubt if there is another man left in
the Senate who does follow Mr.. Bev-
eridge's meanings in that elaborate
production. 1t may become necessary
for Tennessee to again return Car
mack to the Senate If Mr.. Beveridge
shall continue a member of that body !
Mr.. Spooner also threatened to an |
swer Mr.. Beveridge's child-labor
speech, but unfortunately, Mr.. Hale
was so anxious to get the appropri-
alton bill through that opportunity did
not afford. 1t is a pity that Carmack
and Spooner, both did not answer that
wonderful piece of constitutional law.
We may be sure that no two speeches
having the same end to accomplish
would be less alike than those two
would have been Spooner would have
spoken the lawyer, Carmack the phil |
,sopher. All legal precedent would
lave been invoked by the one; all hui
nan experience would have been mar
haled by the other. Spooner would
lave reasoned, Carmack ridiculed-
hat is, if they had understood the +.
peech, and that is not altogether GER
ain.
Spooner was in the Senate sixteen
ears, and next to Matt Carpenter, he
yas the foremost Senator from Wis
onsin, surprising both Villas and

er as Carpenter, but he is not nearly :,
D great an orator. l believe Carpen- :

an l ever came in contact with, and p
len his voice was to the Senate what o
ooth's was to the stage. He never r.
,ove the conversational tone, but ev- W
y word was clear to the remotest gal CT
ry, Breckenridge had no such voice; la
ither has Cochran. His sentences a

GROUNDS OF MOTION FOR NEW
TRIAL BEFORE JUDGE HART.
CASE OF DEFENSE is CLOSED
Attorney General Asks for Continu.
ance Until Saturday to Prepare Re-
ply, Which is Granted-Points Re-
garded as important by the Defense.

The grounds on which Dr. J. Her.
man Feist asks for a new trial on the
charge of numbering Mrs. Rosa Mason
Mangrum have been presented to
Judge w. M. Hart in the Circuit Court,
says the Nashville American.
There was a large audience in the
court room to hear the concluding evil
dence in behalf of the defendant on
Monday morning, the interest in the
motion being almost If not as great
as in the trial. The affidavit of DR..
Feist, making sweeping denials of the
testimony of witnesses for the defense
and protesting innocence, was the
most interesting feature of the ses-
sion. F. D. Jaudon, the private de-
tective, who secured the letters con-
tradicting the Pullman conductor and
porter through the Office of Sheriff
Johns, testified as to his conn ection
with the case.
After the defense closed Attorney
General Bass asked that the hearing
be continued until next Saturday, In
order that the State might have time
to make reply to the grounds set forth
by the defendant for a new trial. This !
was granted by Judge Hart While |
for the State would not dis
cuss the case, they stated that they

Four Important Points.

While there are fifteen grounds fol-
new trial specified by the defense
the four points regarded as the most
important are as follows: The allie
cation that from three to four quarts
of whiskey were furnished to the jury
daily; the discovery of the records of
the Louisville & Nashville Railroad,
showing that only one ticket was sold
to Chicago on the day that Mrs. Man
grum disappeared, and that that tick
ct had been used; the affidavit Of Mrs.
George Passe that a man identified
himself to her as DR.. Bean about the
time of the disappearance of Mrs.
several afidavits that Jur-
or Carter had previous to the trial
made statements very prejudicial to
the defendant.

can't bring myself to conclude that
politics is done with either Carmack or
Spooner. That they are now in pri-
vate station is very true; but 1t is that
private station that is more conspic-
uous than public. Where then, is Ca
to's statute?" Carmack and Spooner
are national figures. They earned the
places they occupy because of their
commanding abilities and honorable
public service. 1t is a poor Senator
who belongs to one state. These two
men belong to the entire Union When
Carmack fell, Democrats to the remot-
est precincts of the Union felt it as a
wound; when Spooner resigned, Re-
publicAns felt the loss from the White
House council to the township pri-
mary.
If there is a political hereafter for
Carmack 1t will be in the United States
Senate. There is his official field He |

spects he is the greatest debater the

For the time they served in the

more reputation than any other two

land therefore he is not to be brought
into the calculation. Carmack was in
the Senate one full term Hill was
there less than one full term. Carmack
was at this Capital ten years, Hill
about eight years. And yet these men
completely filled the stage before they
left the Senate. Neversn my time were
there two men here so much dreaded
by an adversary. Hill and Carmack
were as different as a bludgeon and a
rapier. Hills conclusion of his speech

burst of eloquence he was guilty of
