Bad Blood in Tennessee

Nashville, Tenn, September
%. Scenes at the State Capitol
of Tennessee to-day resembled
in no small way the troublesome
days of 10 years ago in Ken
lucky, when Governor Goebel
was assassnated.
Eighteen men from the noun
tains of East Tennessee, employ
ed at the penitentiary as guards,
stood behind the legislative
friends of Governor Hooper, the
first Republican Executive of
Tennessee for 80 years. Look
ing daggers at these men from
over the mountains were Is de-
tectives of the city of Nashville,
armed heavily, and there, so they
said. ION a mission Of peace.
When it was learned early dur
ing the morning session that two
suit cases, said to be full of re-
volvers, had been carried to the
Capitol and locked in room for
the use of the penitentiary
guards, the fun started in the
House of Representatives. A
leading Democratic member
moved to investigate the pres
ence of the guards and the con-
tents of the suit cases locked in
the office of the Superintendent
of the Capitol.
A storm of protests came from
the Fusion element of the House
that aroused the gunner, and a
riot and probably bloodshed only
was prevented by hasty adjourn
ment of the body by Speaker
Stanton.
The cause Of the array of gun
men was the threat of the Dem
ocrats to unseat eight Fusion
members for alleged completely
in alleged Fire Marshall graft
while they were serving as mem
bers Of the Legislature and the
threat of the Fusion gunner to
take the lives Of three members
of the House.

ProgresSiveS on the Debt Question

One of the planks in the pat
form adopted by the First Dis
trict Progressive party reads as
follows:
We view with great apprehen-
sion the possible result Of the
present litigation over the Vir-
ginia debt as most disastrous in
its effect on our state. We be-
lieve that whatever judgment
may be rendered. it should be
paid by the Federal government
as solemn obligation owed by
such government, growing out of
a great civil war.
We declare that West Virginia
at the most critical period in it's
history, stood loyalty by and be-
came one Of the United States,
born and baptised in patriotism
and joined in the ggreat struggle
to preserve this Union. We hold
that West Virginia was created
out of the stern necessities Of
that great civil war; that her
citizens were patriotic in estab
fishing our state and that she
should not be obligated to pay an
enormous and crushing debt by
way of a fine for such patriot
ism.
This is a straightout and un-
qualified appropriation and en-
dorsement of John M. Hamiton's
plan of settling the debt. 1t al
so shows that the First District
Progressives know a good thing
when they see it. We regret to
say, however, that many of the
Fourth District Progressives aid
ed in the retirement of Mr.. Ham
ilton, the only man who was in
position to bring this plan to
successful consumation, but, it is
plain that in the future, they
will stick to their own colors in
stead of serving as Republican
aid society.

water last night by Secretary
Bryan and the visiting French
commission selecting site at the

denial of published story that
Mr.. Bryan had not drank when
the champagne glasses were
raised for the toast, and that the
French visitors were offended.
Major Dickinson explained
that there was no champagne at
the dinner, merely an old fash

men had expressed a curiosity to
taste, and that as Mr.. Bryan pro-
posed the toast near the end of
the dinner it was drunk with
water.

The Lighting of SchOOlrOOmS

Public school children's eyes
are often seriously damaged by
poorly lighted schoolrooms.
This fact should be remembered
IN building schoolhouses. Mod
ern school architects and hygen-
lists have worked out some def
mite plans to conserve eyesight,
which should not be forgotten.
For instance. in Northern coun-
tries, where sunlight is less pre-
valent than in Southern coun-
tries, and where fog, clouds and
smoke are common, schoolrooms
should have one-fourth as much
window-glass as there is floor
space. In Southern countries,
where the atmosphere is clear,
one-siXth window-glass space is
sufficient. The bottom of the
windows should be four feet
above the floor. Windows should
be as numerous as is consistent
with safe construction. They
should be as far back in the
room as possible, and to the left
of the pupils. The windows
should be contained between
iron or steel mullions, and their
edges should be rounded, to per-
NIT the ingress of light and it's
useful distribution, and to pre-
vent shadows falling on the
desk. AS the best light comes
from above, the windows should
extend to the ceilings. If hills
or tall buildings are close to the
school prismatic or ribbed glass
should be used in the upper por-
tons of the windows, but not in
the lower portions, as too much
glare is produced. Sliding or
Stat blinds should not be used.
They are expensive and inefi-
Gent Use double shades, SO
large that chinks Of light cannot
enter. They should be fastened
in the center of the window and
should roll up or down, so that
light can be admitted from either
above or below. The curtains
should be light green in color.
Blackboards absorb much light,
and should be covered by light
curtains on dark days and when
not in use.
