Tariff Revision.

Congress will be convened In ex-
ira session on Monday, March 18th
to consider the tariff question. The
president believes that many scbed-
uies ought to be lowered. and few.
If any, increased. In dealing with
the question. the attention OF con-
gress WIN be called especially to the
Pdehejt@of one hundred million dor-
lars In the revenues Of the pact year
and the necessity of providing suf-
hcient revenue to meet the demands
or government.
The Fifteenth Amendment
Great interest Is felt In, dbe sou,g,
especially. to know what will be tho
presidents policy In regard to an
po ntmentJ to office in the southern
ststes. On this point even Senator
TiDman win hardly take exceptions
TO his Views, so much does he yield
TO southern sentiment. He inarts
on the recognition and enforcement
or the Fifteenth Amendment, giving
the negro uhe ballot but he recog-
nizes the right Of the states to adopt
such qualificat o1s as they. sec ft
when not in conflict with the Fiji
ue'nth Amendment, and sayG It IS
not within the province OF the gen
eral government to Interfere. He
makes II clear that he IS not in SYM
p"Jhy with the Crumpackers and
his speech WILL not please that c,as
OF stdte-men. He cites tho rand
progress made by the negro race
Within the past fifty years and a1-
vocates the most liberal treatment
OF the race. They will be appointed
TO office as an euccIragemeut To az
pire to the highas. citizenship; ncb
appointments, however. will be made
after due consideration ana in local
tiles where public sentiment Is MOI
opposed to such appointment.

Nashville, Tenn, March AFTER
a strenuous recess day on the part
OF ccun el on both sides 10 the Coop
er-Sharp trial for the murder of for
mer United States Senator Il. w.
Carnack, only two\ facts developed.
One was that s. j. Bennings, the
mysterious witness for the defense
who claimed he saw Senator Car
mack revolving the cylinder of a
gun, which will not revolve, win be
recalled for further crass exarniua-
ton by the state.
The other was the ieverish &C W.
Iity OF the sped al agents or secret
police of the prosecution. 1t deyel-
oped that this activity was due to
Attorney General McCarn's belief
that he had discovered clue to the
identity Of one of three mysteri-
Gus witnesses for the prosecution.
Asked For Carmack.
On the day of Carmacks death
early in the day--three men via ted
the office of the Nashville Tsnnes-
seean, of which Senator Carmack
was editor. Each OF thee men ask
ed at the business office If the clerk
could give him Mr. Carmack's adj
dress and If he knew about what
time the senator went home each
afternoon. Two of the men called
in the morning or before noon. The
clerks-in the counting room did not
know where Carmack lived. But
after the second inquiry they Sc
cured the information, and when the
third man appeared, after 1 D. m.
they gave him the address.
Our clue is very vague" said
Attorney General McCarn last night
and doubt IL we will be able to
use the information. We know that
The inqm ries were made and can
prove this by Tennesseean employees
But unless we can identity the men
who made them and then further
connect them directly with a con
spiracy TO murder Senator Carmack.
under our laws we coud not offer
the tesbmony-even OF the Tenpss-
seeam employees. We are spari1g
no pains to identify the men. bowev-
er, despite the apparent hopeless
ness OF the talH. OF course. even
If we identify the men ghey VIII de.
ny the charge, and we might not be
atde to connect them with the de-
PENDANTS"
Counsel for defense were not less
active. Old and new Witnesses Wis
tied their Offices AL day and a num-
Der OF new ubpoenas were issued
on their behalf.
VIII Not Recall Patterson
1t became generally known That
counsel for the prosecution would
not cross examine either Governor
Patterson, or Adiutaat General Tul-
'ey Brown. At the same time Il be-
came just as wed known that the
attorneys for the state disagreed as
to the wisdom OF this proceeding
~ beast two of the attorneys for
the prosecution are strong political
enemies of the chief executive
These favored grdling the governor.
The other, however, objected for
TWO reaoens. First, they considered
uhat the governors testimony sim
ply corroborated that of other wit
nesses as TO the famous conferences
the day Of the tragedy. Thes econ.
'rences the state admits took place
Secondly, of the twelve jurorg
a'ne are Patterson supporters. and
II was not deemed advisable TO At
tack the governor on this account

SUFFRAGE FOR WOMEN

more enduring physically and more
masterful temperamentally.
That men are much truer han wo-
men to their convictions and to their
professions.
That men have more honorable STAN
dards of business. and therefore more
honorable standards Of politics than
women would have.
Men. bad as they may be. are by the
record truer to each other than women
to each other. Maj is capable of
friendships that women cannot reach.
Woman is by instinct loyal unto death
to her children, but that is a mere in
stinct shared with the animal creature.
yond the mood OF men. critical in their
estimate. largely without charity. and
harsh in their judgments of their sex.
Men may record individual instances OF
harshness and uncharity. but l chal-
lenge the wide range of wonlan's his
Eve all the way-to dupli-
cate the story of Damon and Psthias
or of Jonathan and David.
The world is filling up With men who
are for men and believe in men. and
Will take the mans side when chiva!rS
is dead.
There is no answer to the argument
for suffrage. The argument is COM
plete I'm logic. in law, in equity. No
ever will.
II women want it-all of them. or
half of then-and will make it plain
they are sure to get it.. l could no in
simple honesty or Justice fail to vote
for it myself.
But what on earth, ladies', do yo,,
want with it?
Or why do vol wish to voluntarily
dethrone yourselves from the glorious
position which you have held in the
worlds civilization from the beginning.
or certainly for the last 800 years?
You have never united on a wish or a
desire that the world didn't grant YOU
cordially. You have ruled men by your
g~entleness and your graces more than
you can ever prevail by your force or
virile assertion. There are improve
ments yet to be made in your condition,
errors yet to be righted. Inequalities
yet to be redressed. I call YOU to wit
ness that the history of the two dec
AIDES has been the record of the sue
%cessfve and willing progress OF men
toward the abolition of the laws you
protest and the establishment of the
legislation o desire. l challenge your
intelligence with the assurance tina by
g~entleness and united earnestness-by
being your w selves-you can win in
the next decade every remaining privi-
lege and right you desire-without get
ting into the mire of politics to do 1t.
Finally, ladies, let me admonish YOU
in utter seriousness that the day. when
by your own persistent agitation you
bury the age Of chivalry in the age of
