CONGRESSMAN
GIVEN A JOLT.

Washington, Jan. PA question
having been raised concerning the
right to transmit labels for seed pack
ages through the mails under congress
sional franks, the law officers of the
postoffice department has ruled
that such labels are not public
documents within the meaning of the
law, and that therefore they cannot be
mailed free of charge.
This appears to be very simple rul-
ing, but as fact it will affect a good
many members of congress who have
been sending to postmasterS in their
district seed labels with instructions
10 mail the seeds-also sent free in
packages-to those who desired them.
The postmasters responded to the re-
quest of the congressman, to whom
they were under obligations for their
jobs. The ruling of the department
puts an end to the system, which has
been practiced for many years.

HORSES PERISH IN BARN
Fire Supposed to be the Work
Of an Incendiary- Heavy
Loss to the Owner

A large barn on the farm of Henry
Jackson, county trustee, was discover
ed TO be on fire Thursday at noon and
before removal could be made, four
horses and large amount of machin-
cry were consumed. One horse escap-
ed from the burning barn, but was SO
badly burned that it will have to be
killed. A large amount of provender
was also burned. The stock belonged
to AL. Beard, tenant, and one of the
horses burned, was said to be the best
horse in Washington county. The
losses are estimated to be quite large,
and include practically all the proper
ty owned by Mr.. Beard. There was
no insurance, and the fire is supposed
to be the result of incendiarism, as this
is the third fire that has occurred with
in a mile and quarter within the last
twelve months.

THE POINT OF VIEW

In response to an invitation by the
members CT the Tennessee Society in
New York city, Governor Patterson de-
livered an address at the annual ban
quot, which all his friends and most OF
his foes pronounced to be a, model OF
good English and good taste.
In his tribute to the character OF
Robert +. Lee, Governor Patterson
was convincing and eloquent without
being tiamboyant.
The Nashville American still holds
out. If the Tennessean should learn
that Patterson was slated to go to
heaven it would blaspheme, die and
ask the devil for quarters in the infer
nal regions. That paper is still main
tanning its standaod Of stupidity, vul-
garity and abuse, as the following
shows:
"The many-sided governor has made
another great speech. This time he
spoke in New York and had his re-
marks printed in his official organ, the
Cascade American. Secretary of War
Dickinson and John Bell Keeble, two
worthy and able Tennesseans, also de-
livered addresses, which were, from the
angle of the Cascade organ, as insight
icant in comparison as Red cross
stamp to Cascade distillery revenue
stamp OF the ten-thousand dollar de-
nomination.
The speeches of Judge Dickinson
and Mr.. Keeble were of characteristic
weight oflightness, while the elaborate
effort of the governor was of the mid
winter quality, the genuine blizzard
lind-aIl wool and yard wide.
The general prison superv scr and
confidential and intimate advisor of
the state penal industry, who is also
the beacon light of protection for the
liauor interest, port of refuge for the
lawless saloon, and a friend in need to
the pardon attorneys; the many sided
and many kinds Of man, is genius
in his portrayal of what man ought
to be. When he takes celestial fight
and mingles with the angels, he makes
a preacher look like 30 cents. He can
make all the notes and play all the
tunes and play all the tunes, from
"Rabbit in the Pea Patch" to "Come
Thou Fount of Every BLESSING"
In brilliant contrast to the Tonnes
seams criticism of the governors speech
in New York we print the following
received from woman in Missssippi:
A Tribute OF Thanks
May God forever bless Gov. Malcolm
r. Patterson for his eminently chaste
and beautiful vindication of Robert f.
Lee and his immortal followers. His
utterances bear The impress of insPir-
alton. He quaffed from Truths I'M
mortal Fountain, and, unconsciously
it may Debut no less surely-his lips
were clothed with inperishable gar
lands dropped, by invisible hands,
from the chaplet which crowns the
brow of Lee.
perseverance is Roman virtue,
That wins each God-like act--and
plucks success
Fen from the spear-crowned heights
or rugged danger"
Upon these heights stand Lee and
his deathless compatriots.
They never die who fall in Great
Cause;
They but conduct the world, at last,
