Monroe City's receipts from
her electric light plant last
year were S.. $3.50 and expen-
ditures for the plant were Sc,
307.37. At Paris the light and
water plant earned about $1,000
above expenses, giving an all
night service of 30 arc lights
and 10 fire hydrants free of cost
to the city. Monroe should at.
tach a water wagon to her
plant. Paris Appeal.
The Appeal in drawing a
comparison should first separ-
ate the combined plants re-
ceipts and then should place
the proper accounts in the ex-
penditure columns. For in
stance, electric supplies 5000.
80; hardware and material and
W mains 1882; freight
and express for supplies $685.
40; sewer pipes S146.96 Total
$1441.53 and then they should
credit selves with 1904 80 sup
plies sold. Leaving S93671.
Take balance on hand from that
amount and you only have a
shortage of $247 30.
With an actual shortage the
Appeal ought to be mum.
Monroe charges up every.
thing, even to 1896 for perma.
neut improvements just com.
pleted.
AS to the water wagon, here
is another cold fact: When
Paris. Brook6eld. Macon. Mo.
berly, Mexico and Palmyra
was woefully short on water.
Monroe City had and still has
an abundance OF clear, cool.
healthful water. It does not
belong to the pond nor stag
nant pool stream variety.

Attorney General Hadley ia

Attorney General Hadley is
the greatest grandstander in the
state. No state Official ever
had a better chance to make a
good record than Hadley. he
has made a great show by fl.
ing information against most
all Kinds of corporations except
the Brewers. and every one
thus far has resulted in a fizzle.
Not a single dollar has he put
in the state treasury. but has
expended tens of thousands Of
dollars more of the states
money than any of his prede
cessors. He had a good case
against the Anheuser Busch
Brewing Association but craw
fished out Of it.-Queen City
Leader.

The Passing of Little Clifford.

The Passing of Little Clifford.
Little Clifford Sykes was born jan
uary 81, 1900. Fell asleep in Jesus
June IS, 1908, aged years, a months
and IS days.
Little Clifford was superior child IN
every respect and exceedingly bright
md intelligent; the kind that abides
not long on earth. He protested hope
in Christ in May. While upon his
bed of affection he praised God un-
ceasingly. A short while before his
passing he asked his mother and sis
ter to sing Looking this way" Then
he said. Mamma, when l am gone
don't cry, for l am not going to die;
but am just going to sleep in Jesus
arms" And with his head on a pill
low which had been placed in his
mothers lap at his request, he fell
asleep. He leaves a father, mother,
two sisters and two brothers to
mourn his departure, besides a host
of friends.
Dearest Clifford thou hast left US
Left us here to grieve your loss;
But the Christ he will sustain us,
Help us e'er to bear our cross.
You have gone to join the angels
On that happy golden shore
Where We'll meet you, blessed baby,
Meet to part, no, nevermore.

SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED.

The case of the policeman who as
saulted a woman with his club. a re-
port of which was published in the last
issue of The Globe. is one of the most
brutal, if true. that has come to our
notice. Now that Mayor Brown is
back in the city he should order the
matter investigated whether charges
have been preferred or not.
1t is revolving TO the finer sensibili-
ties of every true man, no matter what
his race, to hear of an officer of the
Law striking 4 woman with force SUI
ficient to require a physician to attend
to her injuries. And such a thing
happening in our city not only reflects
upon the good name of Nashville, but
also upon the humanity of those to
whom the policemen are directly re-
sponsible
We do not believe that Mayor
Brown endorses such methods of hand
ling women prisoners as it is alleged
the officer used. Nor do we believe
that the majority of the white people
of the city approve the clubbing of
women almost into insensibility, no
matter how obstreperous they may be-
come. Ample proof of their disap-
proval of such treatment was shown
a few years ago when an officer was
discharged for beating friendless
woman.
The victim in this case may be poor
friendless and a Negro, but above all
she is a woman. The case should be
investigated and If the charges made
by the woman be true the Civil Serv
ice Commission owes it to the good
nams of the city that the officer bt
discharged.

PRINCIPAL OF HIGH SCHOOL sU-
pERVISES EXAMINATIONS.

An occasion of considerable COM
ment, favorable in the extreme, was
the placing of Prof. F. g. Smith as
the supervisor of the examination
held for colored teachers in the city
public schools last Saturday. This
was the first time in twenty years
that a colored teacher has had charge
of the examinations given to coiofed
applicants. The appointment was
made by the new superintendent
Prof. Weber, and is characteristic
of his desire to place men of integ-
rity in positions of responsibility
There were 81 applicants who took
the examination, and it is reported
that the order and discipline was as
good, if not better, than when white
principals were in control.

To the Nashville Globe
Let it alone" is what should be
by every colored person of this city
and elsewhere with reference to The
Nashville Tennessean. This sheet, in
stead of conducting it's fight against
Gov. Patterson upon some real issue |
or his unfitness to succeed himself on
account OF his lack of ability as the
Chief Executive of the State OF Ten
nessee to govern we'll, goes to the pro-
verbal wood-pile and gravels out an
imaginary Negro, misrepresents him,
and then holds him up in its vile col
umns as the reason why Gov. Patter-
son should not, according to Democrat
&c custom, have a second term. 1t
predicates its puny and miserable pc
litlcal fight upon the gin bottle, its OBJ
scene picture and the Negro. In a
preceding communication the attempt
was made to show that the better class
of the Negro people has always worked
with the better class Of the white peo-
Die to eradicate whatever evil that al
fected the welfare of the community.
The Tennessean, like drowning
man, in its desperation to save itself
and It's protege, ex-senator Carmack,
| from the muddy depths OF defeat in
| the political stream that is bound TO
overwhelm them, is catching at the
veriest straw to keep them atioat. 1t
mas gone beyond its depths at last; 1t
has struck viciously at time-honored
democratic custom to land its candl-
date, Carmack, who seeks to gain his
lost political prestige via. the Capitol;
that is saying that Carmack seeks to
90 by the way of the Capitol back to
the United States Senate from which
he was ousted by the redoubtable Bob
Taylor To get back he espouses the
popular cause, prohibition, puts his
saddle on its back and The Tennes
sean is trying by any old hook Oh
crook to help him mount. But from
indications they are both nursing q
: forlorn hope. The Tennessean cares
t nothing for statewide prohibition
What it is trying to do is to pave the
way for Carmack back to the Senate.
The intention of this cOmmunica
: ton is to say that the Negro people
t should not help sustain the existence
!. of such newspaper as The Tennes
sean. They have seen by its recon
published articles-articles dripping
+ with the vilest vituperations-wha it!
e position is toward them. In consti
t tutional parlance he that gives aid
help OF comfort to an enemy OF tn,
country is guilty of treason. Is no
this true, in a sense, in other cases
+ Should the Negro people aid, abet o
e give pecuniary comfort to The Nash
l. Vile Tennessean? Hundreds and hun
dreds of them are subscribers for it
which means much to its exchequer
AS it has clearly shown in it's recent is
l. sues that it has no respect for thei

SCHOOLS.
1t is a matter of congratulation
that the new superintendent of the
city schools is showing such an active
interest in the welfare of the colored
schools. Since his installation, two
new school houses have been built for
the children of our race and manual
training and domestic science depart
ments established An incident char
acteristic of the man, we believe, was
the appointment of the Principal of
Pearl High School to supervise the ex-
animation of Negro applicants for pc.
sitions in the schools, something that
had not been done in this city before
in twenty years. While we have not
agreed with everything Prof. Weber
has done, we must commend him for
the healthy interest he is taking III
the schools and we hope that the city
public schools will soon surpass in
efficiency and scope anything in the
whole country as they now excel any
sshoolsystem in this Southland.

There have appeared several arti-
cles in the news columns of The
Globe, stating that colored men en-
ployed in the local postoffice have eth
sr been discharged or have secured
transfers to other branches of the post
al service. What is the trouble? Is
it that these men who have passed the
Civil Service examination with very
high marks are incompetent? Or, is
it as Dame Rumor says, can effort is
being made TO rid the post-office of all
Negro employees?" We have heard
something of a speech made by the
Postmaster at Erie, Pa, some time
ago, which did not add any laurels to
that gentleman's record; yet we are
loath to believe that men are appoint
ed, promoted, or discharged from the
service of the United Staes simply on
account of their color. Something,
however, must be wrong. What is it?
