nopoly is not TO be determined by the
common law nor the statutes of the State,
but by the intelligent and judicious action
of the people acting in their commercial
and individual capacity. To restrain the
growing power of corporations, combina-
tions and wealthy associations must some
times be formed, and they should be based
on the lust demands and necessities Of the
community generally.
In my remarks yesterday, and by the
map presented to you, l showed you how

of interest to your city. need not repeat
this to-day. 1t meets want of yours as
well as of the people on the line and in
Cincinnati, by establishing healthy COM

reasonable people do not object. 1t is said
to be the life of trade.
In expressing the desire of the Rock
port Railroad, and the commercial interest
of Cincinnati, represented in her Board Of
Trade and Chamber of Commerce, that
YOU maintain your Southern railroad lines
as free and Independent as possible, we
disclaim any desire CT disposition to die
tate to you your duty. l came here on
rnnr invitation to say, to Won what tha
feelings Of our people are, who have an
increasing interest in what concerns you.
am confident it is to the interest of your
city to do as indicated III the proposition
before your honorable body.
With superior geographical position,
surrounded by country unsurpassed in
natural resources, you have the elements
to become very large city, as you are
now evidently prosperous one. Do not,
therefore, embarrass yourselves by allow
ing a commerce and trade that is legiti-
mately yours to be controlled by other
cities, through an injudicious control of
your necessary lines Transportation.
Now, expressing to you the best regards
of the queen City, / will close my re-
marks,
The Doctor continued his remarks by
saying that he came to Nashville with the
very best wishes and feelings on the part
of Cincinnati. 1t was a matter Of interest
both to Cincinnati and to Nashville that
the control of the lines of railroad South
of Nashville should be kept in the hands of
Nashville. People in Cincinnati were be-
ginning to see that the best section Of
country was west o. the Louisville and
Nashville Railroad a. far as Nashville, and
then south OF Nashville, and also tnat the
route to Chattanooga from Cincinnati
would pass through much poorer section
of country. If Nashville could obtain this
lease through her City Council, well; if
not there was money force enough and
brain force enough in Nashville to devise
sjIne other means; and if Nashville could
get the lease he (Dr. S. was confident qhe
could get plenty Of parties to sep in and

Mr.. Shellabarger from the Conference

MIR. Kerr said if this bill was enforced
self government in this country would be
gone, sacrificed forever, and sacrificed in
the pursuit of an unreal and unsubstsn-
tial shadow and for supTemely insufficient
reasons.
Mr.. Brooks, of New York, said the
Senate knew nothing of clemency; moth
ing of Justice. 1t comprehended none of
the merciful and tender provisions Of
loVernKent. He hoped the House would
not be driven nom is position by an oil

the past, and which, if it could not be re-
formed and re-cresiea; 20 represent the nu

Mr.. Poland believed it constitutional
Mr.. Kelly, of Pennsylvania, spoke IN
favor of the bill.
Dir. Blair, of Michigan, opposed the
Sherman amendment.
Mr.. Bingham endorsed every sentence
of the bill except the Sherman amend

MIR. Farnsworth opposed the jurors
oath provision and the Sherman amend
ment.
Nj. Hoar argued the right OF Congress
to impose tine Sherman amendment.
Mr.. Perry, of Ohio, spoke in favor OF

cept substitute making citizens having

outrages they commit.
sherman Wants Universal War.
Mr.. Sherman opposed the substitute.
The only provision of any value left in
the bill was the use of the military force
of the United States in case of necessity.
He (Sherman) would not have Senators
feel too gingerly because the conditions
of things with which they had to deal
was that of civil war. He was willing
to create state of universal war, if ne
cesary, to put down these outrages.
Thu man spoke against the bsll.
Mr.. Edmunds replied 81 length. He
would adopt the motto of the State which
was the mother of liberty, the sword
shall preserve liberty. If the sword be ne

Death Of General Stand Waite.


This prominent Cherokee died
at his farm on Honey Greek,
Cherokee Nation, OH, Sunday last,
aged about 65 years. There was
no Indian in the country better
known or more highly esteemed,
than General Waite; his courage
and integrity were recognized
even by his enemies, and he emil
nently deserved the respect and
admiration of every one. Cen
eral Waite was an own brother of
Elias Boudinot, and q cousin of
John Ridge, who were assassina-
ted in June, 1889. Boudinot was
a protege Of Hon. Elias Boudi-
not Of New Jersey, while at
school at Cornwall, Conn.,, and
adopted while there the name of
his friend. The rest OF his fafni-
ly bore the family name of Waite.
