fFrom Thursday,s paily.l

After being on the witness stand
continuously for day and half, the
examination of the defendant Harry
Granbery was concluded at 1915
o'clock today During the morning
the defendant was subjected to a rigid
cross.examination by Attorney Gen
eral Garner, but there was very little
new evidence that developed and in
it's essentials the story that he told
was substantially that which had been
unfolded in the original examination.
There was another intensely dra-
matte and pathetic seen in the court
room when the defendant in reciting
some of the more narrowing details
of reports that had been brought to
him concerning the alleged miscon-
| duct or indiscretion of his wife, ex-
claimed to the Attorney General: 1T
is enought to drive man crazy, Joe.
The defendant at this outburst, which
was distinctly heard to the most dis
tant recesses Of the court room, was
convulsed and shook with passion and
emotion. It was necessary for the
Attorney General to pause for a few
moments in order that the defendant
might have an opportunity to compose
himself.
The defendant was carried over
much of the ground that he covered
on the previous day. He admitted
that his brothers and the father OF
his wife had shortly after their sep
aration agreed upon formal separa-
ton and that they should not again
live together He was not present, he
said, when this agreement was made.
The State made an effort to ascer-
tain from the defendant whether or
not investigations which he made OF
the stories rejecting upon his wife
had not revealed the fact that they
were all ISLANDERS and that there was
no truth in them. The defense OBJ
iected and insisted that the question
must be confined to any investigation
that was made before and not after
the killing. The court sustained the
objection, holding that this evidence
of stories brought to the defendant
concerning the conduct of his wife and
the deceased was competent merely
to furnish a motive for the killing
and to establish defendants state OF
mind at the time Of the killing.
The Court held that witness could
only be asked concerning investiga-
lions which had been made before
the tragedy. The question In this
form was then put to him and he an
swered that he had never obtained
facts that would make him know that
his wife was guilty, but he did secure
facts that led him to believe at times
that she was guilty. He did admit,
however, that he had not run down or
traced to their origin directly some
OF the stories that were brought to
his ears about the alleged conduct Of
Mrs CRANBERRY.
The Attorney General insisted upon
his original question as to whether or
not Investigations and discoveries
had not revealed the falsity of all
charges rejecting upon defendants
wife, but Judge Anderson for the de-
tense, said that the question could
not be put in this form, significantly
remarking that the result of investiga-
tions of the character of defendants
wife conducted by his lawyers since
he was confined in Jail would not be
competent.

aRYAN,s TARIFE sPEEcH.

No stronger argument for genuine
revision Of the tariff has been made
IN recent years than is contained IN
the speech delivered by Mr.. Bryan at
Des Moines, a few days ago. II re-
calls the days when the reform Of the
tarif burdens was one Of the leading
issues in National politics and one
Of the cardinal principles OF the Dem
ocratic faith. Upon the tariff ques-
ton there has been no real division
Of sentiment among Democrats for the
past fifteen years, and in making this
issue prominent Mr. Bryan will do
much to unite all factions of the par
". The last great victory won by the
Democrats was won upon tariff for
revenue platform, and but for the fall
ure of those entrusted to carry out
the will of the people to meet the
party's demands upon this issue it is
probable that the Democratic party
would have been saved from the val
leyS Oh the 5uduOW tAAOu6h "hANA -
has wandered these fourteen years.
Bryan's admirable speech is ter
rife but most truthful and accurate
arraignment of the iniquities of the
present schedules. 1t is a powerful
plea for the consumer. Although the
latter are many times more numerous
than the tariff protected manufacture
ers, their rights and interests have
never engrossed Congress when the
schedules of a tariff measure were
being enacted. Because of the unholy
partnership which has existed be-
tween the Republican party and the
monopolists, the direct beneficiaries OF
the tariff have been allowed to dictate
the schedules, the interests Of the
great body of the people to the con-
trary Notwithstanding. Why not?
Have not the tariff fostered trusts con-
tributed literally of their ill-gotten
gains to fill the Golfers of the Republic
can party, that the electorate might
be debauched?
Mr.. Bryan correctly argues that no
relief from the trust breeding tariff
can be expected from the Republican
party AS well expect Ban Murray
and Jack Daniels to enact temperance
laws in Tennessee as to expect the
direct beneficiaries Of the tariff to re-
form it in the interest of the people.
His Satanic majesty that presides
In the internal regions could as well
be trusted to evangelize the world as
the tariff barons to surrender any adj
vantage which they have by reason
of a corrupt alliance with the Repub-
lican party,
It is not necessary to arraign the
masses against the classes to obtain
tariff reform. The Democratic party
simply demands justice; simple JUS
tice; nothing more and nothing less,
for the millions of consumers. 1t de-
mands equal and exact justice to all
and special privileges for none. Moth
ing ever devised by legislation, more
directly and more fagrantly violates
this cardinal principle of the Demo-
cratic party than protective tariff.
It is confessedly levied as tribute to
promote the interests of class at the
expense of the great body of the peo-
ple who seek no favors from govern
ment. If the Democratic party can
not win victory upon the tariff issue
1t cannot win at all.

Reports 81 The County Saperin-
rendendsnfs 81 Public Instruction II
Tennessee. which are being made @
the state Department. indicate q very
gratifying progress in the school in
terests during the year. These re-
ports demonstrate an Increasing APP
probation for school efficiency as In
dieated By the increased average at
tendance. They also show that there
Is a disposition manifest upon the
part OF the authorities wherever pos
sible 10 increase the salaries Of the
teachers and thereby promote the e.
hciency OF the schools. IL is believed
that the entire State, when the hg-
ures have all been tabulated and COM
pared. will show a substantial increase
IN the average salary paid to the
teachers.
II the people desire an efficient
school system. one that will be de-
serving of the attendance of all class
es of the public. they must prepare
themselves TO pay the cost thereof.
In the long run the best is always
the cheapest and this axiom certainly
applies with redoubled force to the
public schools. To have efficient
schools, competent teachers must be
obtained 1t has been demonstrated,
as if so simple a thing would need
practical demonstration to prove its
truth, that these cannot be secured
unless they are sufficiently compensa-
ted for their labor and talent.
The State cannot expect to obtain
the best class of teachers at an aver
age yearly salary of less $500. There
is too great a demand for first class
teachers at more than twice that sal
airy in other States to expect the tai
ent of Tennessee to remain at home
and teach for the pure love of the
profession. The laborer is worthy of
his hire. Teaching is an arduous and
difficult profession, one that requires
or should require mental training of
high order. Good teachers deserve
good pay. If they cannot obtain it at
home they will go where they are
properly appreciated.
ii the people of Maury county would
have more efficient public schools
they must be ready to pay for them.
1t will be no very dificu1t matter to
obtain an adequate appropriation from
the County Court If the members are
made to feel that in making it they
are rejecting the sentiment of the
majority of the tax payers. 1t is by
arousing public sentiment that the
schools have obtained what they have
secured and have thereby advanced to
what they are now. 1t is probable
that during the coming fall the Coun-
ty Superintendent, who is always alive
to the interests of the cause of pub
lie education will hold a series of
public meetings or rallies at various
points in the county. If interested in
better schools, longer terms, better
paid and therefore more efficient
teachers you should attend these
meetings.

If the Governors organ at Nashville
thinks that it can help the Democrat
ic ticket by indiscriminate SANDER
of Senator Carmack and by gratui-
tiously insulting his followers, it is
mighty badly mistaken. In charging
that offices were promised by the
wholesale to the followers of Senator
Carmack, it uttered statement which
has not a shadow of foundation in
truth. 1t has been challenged to give
the name of single Democrat who
was promised an Office, but it was as
silent as the grave. Mr.. Carmack's
followers we're Democrats from prin-
ciple, the old guard of the party who
do not have to be tolled to the polls
by promises Of Office or lucrative
pardon brokerage business. A large
majority of them will Loyalty support
the party ticket not because OF any
thing that the organ may say, but in
spite of its SANDER and abuse which
in common decency ought to have
ceased when Mr.. Carmack was de-
feated.

The Louisville and Nashville rail-
roads earnings during the past week
were $2O0000 less than they were
during the same week last year. Can
this be the character Of prosperity
of which Republican spellbinders
have in the past so loudly boosted?
It is the kind of prosperity from
which Mr.. Bryan and the Democratic
party would save the country.
