The New Appellate Judge

Following the plan that was pursued
by Hon. James d. Porter when he
was governor, in promptly making ap-
pointments when there was vacancy,
and thus avoiding embittered con-
tests, the bringing of outsiders into
the fore and otherwise giving room for
complications, Gov. Ben W. Hooper
Saturday night named successor on
the court of civil appeals vice the late
Judge John M. Taylor, in the person
of Hon. FL. Nelson Cate, of Newport.
In going back home to find the new
appellate judge, the governor has sur
prised no one and has honored one of
his most loyal friends. Last fall, when
Gov. Hooper was being urged to get
into the congressional race in the First
congressional district, he wrote sever
al letters to friends, declaring that he
would never again take active part in
politics. But after the success of the
independent judicial ticket in August
the present governors friends began
to urge him to enter the contest for
the gubernatorial nomination. Nelson
Cate was one of the first to suggest it.
And when the next governor reached
Nashville and saw the obstacles ahead,
the first person to whom he appealed
for help was Nelson Cate. The next
train carried him to Nashville. He
placed the name of Gov. Hooper be-
fore the republican convention and
saw him nominated Throughout the
he remained at home, and
with W. o. Minis, William McSween,
George Carroll. these being democrat
ic lawyers refuted attacks made upon
the nominee, and worked earnestly for
his election. Judge Cate is the first
republican to sit upon the appellate
bench, and his appointment gives East
Tennessee two judges on the court.
He is the first republican on the high
er courts since the seventies. He is
an able lawyer, who has given espec-
lal attention to equity practice, and
will make a good judge Like Gov
Hooper, he is an alumnus of Carson
Newman college at Jefferson City, and
moreover, like the governor, fought
against universities to place of honor
among his fellow citizens. He served
n the state senate, is liberal in his
politics. though always voting the re-
publican ticket He was formerly a
aw partner of the governor, and was
lot an applicant for the office to
which he has been named. Gov.
Hooper, has done the right thing in
tanning a judge at once and thus
leeping down strife and the impor-
unities of friends of candidates, which
re always legion.

tario de Paco'', southeast of Manila,
Told Manila is the ancient city of
Manila that has been surrounded by a
high, thick stone wall for centuries)
where soldier dead were sleeping their
last long sleep (since then they have
been exhumed and brought back to
America for a last burial). At this
time, before the instruction, Sc
mounds marked the resting place of
once true American men that had Civ
en- their lives for the country they low
ed. The cemetery is circular in form,
and the dead natives are laid in vaults
built in the stone walls inclosing the
cemetery. There are two of these
walls, an outer and an inner wall, and
between them is a broad passageway
thickly shaded with trees, shrubs and
flowers The inner wall incloses
court crossed by a walk leading across
its center from the gate to the chapel
at the rear. This walk is crossed at
right angle by another walk, cutting
the court into four quarters, which
are set to grass, trees, shrubs and flow
ers. On the right of entrance to this
cemetery is where our soldier boys
we're buried. Most of the vaults in
the walls have marble or granite
fronts and are richly carved, polished
and decorated The vaults are arrang-
ed around the walls in three tiers.
The adults are in front and the child
rem to the rear of the chapel. There
are vaults for 1879 adults and 5O4
children. The chapel situated at the
rear of the inner court is a tlusset-
shaped building, surrounded by per-
istyle of sixteen Corinthian columns
with beautiful capitals. The roof is
dome and inside is a beautiful altar.
surrounded by pavilion with the ris-
ing sun Of Righteousness rays ex-
ecuted in gilt underneath which is
splendid statue of Christ in the death
agonies, and also a statue of the ever
present Virgin Mary.
But back of the chapel, hidden from
view and difficult of ascent, is hor-
rifying spectacle, another monument
of the crime of Spain. 1t is the Pest
Hole, pen walled in with solid
rocks, and with no entrance save from

TO HIS BUG" FRIENDS.

l am aware, ''Mrs. Butterfly.
June Bug" and other bugs, that
criticism is not any proof to the jus.
tice or injustice of thing. Now that
you are all hot enough to be quizzed,
suppose you tell me what your beliefs
are on the private ownership of land.
That's the real question at ISSUE Is
private ownership right, and do you
all believe it had its origin in chris
tianity, and does the doctrine of the
Bible uphold the policy and system
Then, again, is not its policy the
cause of so much poverty and misery
turnout the world? My belief is that
no man should be allowed more land
than is necessary to make an honest
living on, and no more. Then if a
man won't work, it let's him starve.
That's Bible, reckon. But don't rob
him of his inheritance and birthright
and then guy him because he is de-
pendent on somebody else for job
No christianity is such as that. So far
as preachers are concerned, we've bad
enough of their ugly conduct exposed
to do us. Let's turn to the more i'm
portant question of how to aid and
help the poor to regain their lost
birthright Will the republican par
ty restore unto these people their in
heritance or let one of the old parties
do as much? If not, why should the
landless and homeless vote to perpetu-
ate system that builds up trusts and
combines, and compels men to pay
tribute to live or what God created
for all menY Now, you have some
thing to answer and write on. Let us
hear from you on this question. Don't
fly into passion and confound things
Answer like ladies and gentlemen.

MEETING OF CIVIC
RETIREMENT CLUB

The Civic Betterment Club met wed.
nesday afternoon in weather that migh'
well have discouraged any but the
most enthusiastic. .,.
Various departments reported work
along their several lines, ana an inter-
esting article on future cleanliness was
read 6v Mrs. r. A. Williams.
There will be no regular meeting oil
the club in July and August, but any
necessary executive or committee
meetings will be called by the president
or chairmen Of the committees.
The club desires to take this oppor-
tunity to request all its members, and
TO appeal to all citizens, to make their
sidewalks as clean and attractive as
possible by the Fourth of July. The
city will then be visited by large
number of strangers who will. of course.
be interested not only in its past his
tory, but also in its present condition
and its future possibilities. Neglected
and grass-grown sidewalks must detract
greatly from the appearance Of the
place, and feeling of both civic and
personal pride should induce all citizens
to make their premises as attractive as
possible.
The city has been cleaning cutters,
etc, in some places. but their Jurisdic-
tion-we are told does not extend to
the sidewalks. These must be kept in
order by individuals. Therefore we
make this appeal.
