WHAT CONSTITUTES HELL.

Dr. Norman Mcleod is accredited with
the following:
Let the faircst star be selected, like a
beauteous island, in the vast and shoreless
sea of the azure heavens, as the future
home of the criminals from earth, and let
them possess what they most love, and all
thst it is possible for God to bestow let
them be endowed with undying bodies,
and with minds that shall ever retain their
intellectual powers; let no Savior ever
press his claims upon them, no Sabbath
ever dawn upon them, no saint ever live
among them, no prayer ever be heard
within their border, but let society exist
there forever, smitten with the leprosy of
enmity to God, and with utter selfishness
as its all-pervading and eternal purpose
then, as sure as the law of righteousness
exists, on which rests the throne of God
and the government of the universe, a So
ciety so constituted must work out for
itself hell of solitary and bitter suffer
ing, to which there is no limit except the
capacity of a finite nature. Alas the
spirit that is without love to God or its
neighbor, is already possessed by Power
which must at least create for its own
self-torment a worm that will never die,
and fire that can nevermore be quenched.

Whereas, the public welfare and pros
perity are prominently involved with the
railroad system of the State; and where
as, such system has been largely aided by
stock subscriptions of public-spirited cit
liens, whose object and interests were
especially to promote the development
and prosperity within the limits of the
State of Tennessee. Therefore
Resolved. as the sense of this General
Assembly, 1t is in all instances desirable
that those most thoroughly identified with
the interest of the State should control
the railroads of the State as agencies most
powerful for adding TO the public wealth,
by increasing both commerce and popula-
ton within the borders of the State,
Resolved, That our nOn-intercst paying
roads should be with jealousy guarded
and protected against the influence and
control of parties whose leading interest
may be the building up of cities and COM
mcrcial centers outside the limits Of Ten
nessee, to the injury of those who have
been largely taxed for the construction Of
such roads.

THE NEED FOR THE CONVEN-
TIONAL INTEREST BILL.

We have heard recently of two facts
which show more plainly than any argu-
ments just why and how badly Kentucky
or at least Jefferson county needs the Con-
ventional Interest Bill --
The Connecticut Mutual Life Insurance
Company has accumulated assets amount
ing to more than $20, 600. 1t tries TO
invest this amount at the highest rate of
interest consistent with security. In Hi
nOis the law allows money to be loaned at
ten per cent, on bond and mortgage. As
a consequence, this single life insurance
company has now loaned in the city of
Chicago alone, about $12, 900, 600. 1t is a
popular company, and Kentucky pays to
it in premiums thousands of dollars an
nually, not one cent of which comes back
except in case of death. r
Another. A party in Louisville en-
gagged manufacture was DESTROYS of get.
ting partner with $40, 0O0capital. A gen.
tleman from another State hearing of it,
offered to lend him the amount upon
mortgage at 8 per cent. interest. The
proposition was accepted and the papers
were about to be drawn when the lender
inquired if he could collect s per cent by
law in Kentucky. OF course the reply
was in the negative, and as consequence
the transaction went no further.
We have no doubt that every business
man in Louisville could furnish facts like
these which have come under his own OBJ
servation. Millions of dollars, which
would seek investment in Kentucky if the
rate of interest we actually charge and
pay was legalized, now pass us by; and
worse than that thousands, if not mil
lions, go out of the State, which would
remain if that were the case. .r
By the way, can anybody tell US how
much of the capital and assets of our
home insurance companies, which haven't
banking charters are invested in Kentucky
and how much seeks a higher rate of in
terest abroad.
1t behooves our business men to be up
and doing. This session of the Legisla-
ture should not pass without the relief
which their interests demand.-LOUis-
