under strict regulations OF the Government,
have proved themselves the friends OF arbitrary
extortion and opposed to free commerce be-
tween the States as the feudal barons OF tho
middle ages.
THIRD That we hold, declare and resolve
that this despotism. which dehes our laws,
plumbers our shippers. impoverishes our people,
and corrupts our Government, shall be sub
dued and made to subserve the public interest
at whatever cost.
RESOLVED, That we believe che state did not,
and could not, confer any OF its sovereign pow
er upon any corporation, and that now 10 the
most favorable time to settle the question, 30
that it shall bs never hereafter misunderstood,
that State can not create a corporation which
1t cannot thereafter control.
RESOLVED, That in view OF the present ex-
tortions we look with alarm upon the future OF
an interest which can combine IN the hands OF
few men capital OF $3.50, DOC, 900 IN our State
and $4,000, 10000 in our Union, and we be-
heve II essential to the prosperity or oil classes
that this contest continues until those corpora
tons acknowledge the supremacy OF the law.
RESOLVED. That we regard it as the undoubt-
cd power and the imperative duty OF the Legis-
lature TO pass laws fixing reasonable rates for
freights and passengers without classification
OF roads, and that we urge upon our general
assembly the passage Of such laws.
RESOLVED, That the existing statute provid-
ing for classification OF freights, with view
OF tariff of charges according to the gross
amount Of earnings, is delusion and snare,
and is 80 framed that the railroads are able to
classify themselves, and that it ought to be
carefully modified or regulated.
RESOLVED. That, inasmuch as the Supreme
Court has clearly pointed out the way to reach
the unjust discrimination made by railroads of
this State, we can see no reason for delay on
the part Of the Legislature in enacting the
necessary laws on the subject, and we urge
immediate action thereon.
RESOLVED That we urge the passage OF q
public highways, and requiring railways to
maintain connections with all roads whose
tracks reach across Its own and receive and
transmit all cars and trains offered over their
roads ut reasonable maximum rates, whether
their roads, and empowering the making OF
connections by municipal corporations for that
purpose, and for the public nse.

SEWING MACHINE MoNoPoLY.-When our
women are thoroughly aroused it is net easy to
curb their walls. For this reason the sewing
machine men are distressed by recent rovela-
tons in the newspapers in regard to the source
and extent of their profits. 1t appears that
four great firms have entered into combination.
All later inventors are obliged to pay them a
royalty, and agree not to sell at rate less than
$50 for single machine. When it is explained
that the total cost Of that which brings $50 IS
not more than S1S, the revenue realized by n
thrifty manufacturer will be under TODD; and
when this news has reached the toilers OF the
workshops and the garrets, it Is likely to work
a revolution in the sentiments entertained
toward the monopolsts, and corresponding
change in the opinion OF Congressmens wives
and Congressman. In the face Of this feeling,
the application for a renewal Of the patent
rights will hardly be successful.

VETO OF THE LIQUOR LAW,

Governor Brown has vetoed the Liquor
Bill which passed the Legislature on
Wednesday last, on the ground that it was
d hill In lieu and had not been read three
times in each House before a final vote
was taken. We learn that Gov. Brown
has signed several other bills during the
session which were passed in like man
ner-without three readings. If it was
wrong for him to sign this bill under the
circumstances it was equally wrong in
him to have signed the others, and wo are
forced to the conclusion that those meas
urcs met with his approval, while he was
opposed to this one, and took this means
Of defeating it. If this is not the case
why did he withhold the bill which was
passed on Wednesday until Monday,
when the session had virtually expired
and there was a probability that there
would not be a sufficient humber of the
friends of the bill upresent to pass it
over his veto.
We are not inclined to charge an Off
cial with misconduct because he happens
to differ with us on a question of public
Importance, but facts are stubborn things
and without a satisfactory explanation the
people will be apt to take this view of
his action In this matter.
The bill simply gives the people oreach
civil district the right to say whether or
not liquor shall be sold within its bors
ders, aud through the interference Of the
Governor they are denied the privilege of
expressing their views on this important
Question at the ballot bog.
The Nashville Union and american
announced its opinion that the bill had
not passed in a constitutional manner,
thus calling his attention to it in ample
time to have informed himself and by
prompt attention he could have returned
the bill to the Legislature in time forthat
body to have passed upon it. His failure
to do so may have been the result of an
accident but it looks very much like de.
sign.
