The bill providing for the cleo
ton of Senators by the people
has passed both Houses of Con-
gress. The amendment giving
the General Government the con-
troll of these elections is very
Objectionable. It is another step
towards the Capitalization of
power in the government at
Washington. Our fathers guard
ed well the rights of the states
and gave us a constitution that
would protect the states. The
tendency of the two amendments
to that instrument, the one Civ
ing the general government the
right to tax the incomes of the
people of the states and the other
to give it control of the elections,
should both be rejected by the
Legislatures of the states.

the University of Tennessee, needful
condensation and broad perspective
present peculiar difficulty. In 1898,
two years after the beginning of his
vigorous and progressive administra-
ton, DR.. Charles W. Dabney, presi-
dent of the University, called Profess
sor Schmitt from his Pantops work to
assume the chair of mathematics.
"Thls should be said to DR.. Dab
ney's credit that, with few exceptions,
he showed great sagacity and rare
judgment in the selection of his pro.
fessors. He gathered about him a
group OF men of singular fitness and
of approved skill, young in years and
full Of zeal. The scholarly ideals
were those fostered at the University
of Virginia. Illustrating these be-
sides DR.. Dabney and Prof. Schmitt
were such other Virginia university
men as DR.. Thomas W. Jordan, DR..
Charles E. Wait and DIR. Charles w.
Kent. When DR., Kent retired in 1893
to return to his alma matter as pro
lessor, he was succeeded by fellow
alumnus, the late DR.. John Bell
Henneman, an able and productive
scholar of honored memory. Other
members of the faculty, representing
John Hopkins, and other institutions,
fitted in admirably. AS DIR. Jordan
said IN recent letter. there was a
spirit of oneness IN ideals and harm
ony of intercourse, which permeated
and stimulated the whole institution.
IA good representation of the Or
ganization and workings, of the spirit
aud ideals of the university of that
period may be found in the report of
the committee appointed by the 1897
session of the state legislature to visit
the institution.
| sit may not be amiss here to give a
bit of secret history as to the framing
OF that report. A disclosure of the
facts detracts nothing from its trust
worthiness and does no discredit to
those Immediately concerned in its
preparation. After the legislative
committee had finished its investiga-
tions, the chairmen of both senate and
house committees said to DR.. Dabnev
that the joint committee was so
thoroughly satisfied with the univer.

Mr.. JONES WAS ABSENT.

The democrats of the House of
Representatives were in caucus
almost all Thursday and until
half past twelve that night. For
the democrats it was the most
important day of this session of
Congress. The question discus
sed and disposed Of was the pro-
posed new schedule of tariff
duties on wool and wooden pro-
ducts. The discussion involved
not only the rate of the duties to
be imposed but the principle as
between a revenue tariff and free
raw material. The discussion
was prolonged and free. While
there was much feeling at times,
in the final result there was har-
mony, and policy was outlined
for the democratic party which
will exercise potential influence
on the next presidential election.
On this impor ant day and in the
solution of this vital question the
Hon. William A. Jones, who was
elected to represent the First
Congressional District, was abb
sent. He was in Virginia cam
paigDing for a seat in the Senate.
We are reminded to add that
next to this, the most important
other question considered during
the present session of Congress
was on the occasion when the re-
ciprocity agreement with Canada
was considered. On that occa-
sion Mr.. Jones was present at the
Caucus during the discussion, but
as soon as as the secretary Of the
caucus commenced to call the roll
Mr.. Jones retired. Of course,
Mr.. Jones would not dodge vote,
for he has said so time and again. |
He simply preferred not to be re-
corded on that important occa-
sion and in respect to that vital
question. For the occasion the |
First District was unrepresented.
On minor occasions it is true Mr..
Jones has answered the roll calls |
when his presence in Virginia
was not required for the purpose
of making campaign speeches in
his personal candidacy for seat |
in the Senate.-Alex. Gazette.

MARROW PASSAGE.

Narrow Passage was visited by
the hardest rain of the season
Tuesday afternoon. The hail
tore the corn, some wheat and
beat the wheat also. The binders
will soon be heard singing its
piece in the golden fields.
Several of our young folks at
tended the social at Pine Grove
last Saturday evening in spite of
the threading weather.
Our Sunday School is progress
ing very nicely at the Hoover
school house with large atten-
dance.
There is going to be meeting
in Woodstock Saturday for the
purpose of erecting school
house at Narrow Passage let all
the patrons be present.
There is five miles between the
two schools, which in the cold
winter days makes it impossible
FOR small children to go so far.
Our taxes on the average are
more than the rest of the vicinity.
We are living in a progressive
age. So we need a school where
we can raise our children up and
of ignorance, and fit them for the
higher duties of life. With a
school house at Narrow Passage
we can have Sunday School and
preaching occasionally, as the
old saying "a chain is no strane-
er than its weakest link and
also a community without a school
is just the same. Now let every
energetic school man get to work
before the time for school to re.
open for the ensuing year.

his devotion to study. At ten years
of age he completed arithemetic, and
at twelve he was we'll advanced in
higher maihem atics and Latin. At
sixteen he entered the sophomore
