best route for transporting supplies to re-

TWO SUBJECTS FOR LEGISLATION

There are many subjects demanding the
attention of our Legislators at Nashville
and it is perhaps impossible that they
should give them all that time and study
they deserve. But it should be with them
a question as to what legislation is the
most important. What reforms in exist
ing laws will strike nearest at the root of
our present evils? Men talk of relieving
our State of its financial embarrassments,
hut all such relief can only come from an
increase in our revenues and decrease
in our expenditures. What will most
speedily bring us more capital and
more immigration? We do not know of
legislation that will more certainly stri Ike
down greater number of drawbacks to
our growth in wealth and numbers, than
a good system of schools and improved
public roads. Nine out of every tea
strangers who visi. our State complain at
these two wants.
Good schools will help us in hundred
ways. This want is now so generally ap-
preciated and public sentiment so univer-
sally demands adequate legislation on it
that it is now barely necessary to allude to
it as the one question upon which our
Legislature is certainly expected
to act wisely and promptly But
the value of good public highways
seems to be not so generally understood.
How many acres Of valuable land are to-
day either half worked or idle because they
are out Of reach Of good markets-not be-
cause Of the distance from those markets,
but because Of the impossible roads over
which the products must be transported ?
How many little shopsin the back eoun-
ties are idle half the year because of the
expense and time necessary to get the ar
ticies they might manufacture to market ?
How much timber, how many slaves, how
many other articles produced by a little
skilled labor are kept from market because
Of our rough, muddy roads? We hear
every day Of men losing opportu-

mites for making money because OF
our bad roads. We meet men every
day who consider the evil great
draw back to our State. Every farmer who
has farm products to sell, every mechanic
who has the products of his skill and la
Dor to bring to market is interested in bet
ter roads. Legislation TO make the pro-
perty holders and producers build good
roads would strike down many evils now
besetting us and do great good.
Here, then, are two subjects, affecting
almost every interest in the State, to
which the Legislature should give their
immediate attention. because they lie at
the very foundation of our prosperity.
Other matters, important enough in their
time, might be set aside, to give place to
these two elementary questions. We hope
to see less time spent on other subjects
now before the Assembly and thorough in
vestigation and legislation bestowed upon
these. The man who studies upthese two
questions and gives us the laws required
in reference thereto,is the man the people
will endorse

FUNDING THE STATE DEBT.

Considerable interest is being manifested
at Nashville, among members of the Leg
islature as we'll as by outsiders, on the
question of funding the public debt, as
proposed by Governor Brown in his late
message. He, it will be remembered
favors funding the whole debt, principal
and interest There is party in the Leg
islature, which favors funding the past due
interest, but thinks the sweeping PROPOSE
ton of the Governor to fund the whole
debt, is unwise if not absurd. They say
the creditors of the State will care no more
for new bond than an old one, and as it
will add nothing to the credit of the
State, the large expense for funding
should be avoided. They hold that we are
under obligations for the payment of past
due interest, and as it can not be paid the
next best thing is to fund it,
There is still another party, opposed to
funding any part of the debt. They say
there is no reason why the bonds not yet
due should be funded. They argue that
to fund the past due interest would add
more than quarter of a million annually
to our interest account, and that if bonds
are issued to run forty years, at the end of
that time we will have paid over ten mil
lions interest and still owe the amount now
due.
The question has not been discussed in
either House, but we understand there has
been lively time in committee meetings.
The party opposed to funding holds that
the Governors scheme would leave too
much margin for dishonest officials who
might have the disposal of bonds, if there
were such.

WE have often urged upon our readers
the great importance of giving a proper
encouragement to manufacturing enter
prises. The effect upon the general pros
perity of community can not and will
not be questioned. But in community
like this, where capital is never abundant,
and where it has been so long used in GER
tain channels, it Is hard sometimes to get
men to see it as their interest, and the in
terest of the community generally, to give
aid to an enterprise that is languishing, by
loan or by taking stock.

standing, but which is, unfortunately at
this time, total loss for want of capital
When in running order, its products are
manufactured almost solely from material
found everywhere in the country, and
which is good for nothing else. We have
the best reasons for believing that under
judicious management it could be made to
pay, and yet at present it is a total loss to
its owner and the public. There are thou
sands of capital invested in merchandise
here we have no doubt, that yields very
little on the interest, but its owners have
became so accustomed to its use in that
way, that it is next to an impossibility to
prevail upon them to even think of using
ii in any other way.
Every man certainly has a right to use
his money as he pleases, but it is to his in
terest to use 1t in way to pay him best
and at the same time benefit the commu-
nifty in which he lives. While so many
STORE houses are unoccupied, it is time for
men who have capital to devise some way

chandising, and we commend to this class

munity, and to find if they can what will

THOSE who are laboring to make our
people better by giving the rising genera
ton an education and teaching them to be
industrious ought 10 find the following
facts potent arguments for future use. The
Memphis Araldneko says:
OF the seven hundred and fifty-four con-
victs in the Tennessee Penitentiary at the
last report, only lightweight had ever
learned trades. Nearly all had reached
manhood without any definite avocation.
Perhaps most of them were lacks of all
trades and masters Of none" Having
been idlers in boyhood, they naturally re-
manned idlers. An idle brain is the 'dev-
IFS workshop" Even idlers must live /;
if not by fair, by foul means; and idleness
finally drifted these men into felons' cells
This is busy, busting world, in which it
is ordained that only those who SOW shall
reap. Society expects something more
from boys than idleness and vagabondage
when they grow into mans estate. The
stamp Of "idler" as utterly destroys a
young mans hopes of a life's usefulness
as though he were stretched on the fatal
bed of Procrusteus.
