Summary Of Ebents as They Happen

Nothing more shocking has in years
TRANSFERRED than the shooting ARRAY
in Nashville Monday afternoon,
whereby Ex-senator E. W. Carmack,
Tennessee's brilliant son, was al
most instantly killed. Last spring he
campaigned for the gubernatorial
nomination on a statewide prohibition
issue. In this he was defeated by
Governor Patterson. Out of the rival
ry springing up then and by reason
of certain caustic editorials in The
Tennesseean, a paper edited by Mr..
Carmack, grew up much bitter feel
ing between him and Col. Duncan B.
Cooper and his son, Robin. When
the three men met there was an ex-
change Of shots and the pail Of death
now covers a career that might have
been of inestimable service to his
country.
It is all so infinitely pathetic, be-
cause so utterly unnecessary. A man.
ly spirit Of give and take would have
avoided it all. The editorial which
so enraged the Coopers does not to
the casual eye present anything in
the nature Of vilifcation or insult
just piece of flashing sarcasm, to
which reply in kind might have been
made and the honors been even. AS
it is, the hand that penned it lies
cold in death-beyond the touch of
any further earthly pain or triumph,
while an innocent wife is left to wall
her dead, and relatives and friends
of slain and slayers alike must mourn
the awful tragedy.

And now the "Senator Bryan"
stampede has received a dampener.
When it was seen that the Nebraska
Legislature would be a Bryanite
body, the Senatorial toga was IN
stantly thought to be the very thing.
Now, however, it develops that no
senator is to be elected at the coming
session and that an entirely new leg
islature will have been chosen before
the determination Of Senator from
Nebraska becomes necessary.

Gently made the sapient observation
that the reform Of newspapers and

learn how to weigh evidence. This

gin a hundred or so years before his
birth. Weighing evidence" is the
most difficult matter confronting the
wisest judge on the bench, and to
imagine that partisan, and too Oft

give any true evidence for a diligent
reader to consider, is practically out
of the question. Few people, unfor-
tunately, care to bother their brains
with truth seeking, and those who do,
generally find something more relia-
bic than the average Metropolitan

Germany and France are trying to
stir up some difficulty over the

rest Of the deserters by French off

they did. So the papers Of both
countries are discussing the POSSIBLE
ity of war over the affair, while each
clearly sees the folly Con the part of
the other nation) in not taking the
necessary graceful steps to avoid it.

The proposed monument to the
Women Of the Confederacy has been
a long time coming, but it appears
to be nearer in sight now than ever,
since the reunion of the Veterans of
the State last month. Some fitting
and substantial memorial should be
erected. No patriotic enterprise fails
to receive the cooperation of our
women, when, indeed, they do not
initiate it; the beautiful Memorial
Day observed throughout the South
and the North was born of the ten
der thoughtfulness Of a woman Of the
Confederacy. So it is more than APP
propriate, it is imperative, that
among the marbles carved in com
memoration Of the heroism of the
Sixties one shaft, at least, should be
reared to those who had the harder
part-the waiting, the suspense and

the candidacy of Bryan out of the

Ing upon a vice-presidential nominee.
In this respect, the gathering will be
a counterpart of the republican con-

statement of principles. The union
labor leaders are busy and will at
tempt to secure an anti-injunction
plank in accordance with their ideas
on the subject Both the brewers and
the AntiSaloon league have estab-

question may be injected into the
convention. The National Good Roads
association will attempt to secure

Denver has never before been

crowds as are in the city today, and
as special trains are still pouring

parties, however, will sleep in Pull
man cars.
The decorations of the city are of
an elaborate nature and have elicit

visitors. Bunting and flags have been
freely used on all the principal
streets and thousands of electric

which is attracting much attention i.
