TEMPERANCE VS.. ANTI-TENPERANcE = A
MIXED RESULT. ~ 80 3
From a Special Correspondent of the Sentinel
COLUMBUS, May 5.-For some days past
the workers on both sides have been muster
ing their forces preparatory to the grand
final movement of to day. Old party preju-
dices were thrust aside and the temperance
element of both parties united in an effort
to secure the control of the future of the city
to those of their views. As the number
of saloons here in the future depended some
what upon the result, holly contested day
was the outcome. The saloon keepers were
fighting for the success of the candidates op-
posed to an increase of the license to 81. 600.
and were somewhat more disappointed than
they expected. The candidates and result
was as follows:
First Ward.-Joseph McFall, temperance;
John H. Rush, present incumbent,
anti-temperance. McFalps majority. o.
% Second Ward-Brinkley, present incum-
bent, temperance, G.. A. Hubbard, also tenn
perance. Brinkley's majority 40. Third
Ware. Colonel s. Stansifer temperance.
William BrockInan ,anti-temperance. Brock
mans majority about IS. =
The defeat of Colonel Stansifer was
of a set back to his friends,
as it was confidently expected that
he would receive larger majority
while IN the First Ward the election |
of McFall greatly chagrined the anti tenn
perance faction, as they counted on his de-
feat as sure thing. Still with those who
hold over, the whisky element assert that
they will be able to carry all their points.

RAILROAD LEGISLATION. - After
the county elections have come Off
the State campaign will probably
open with great vigor and immedi-
ately. Up Co this time the aspirants
for legislative honors have done all
their electioneering in a private
way, but when the field is cleared
for action they will have to come
forward and make public declara-
tion of their principles and inten-
tiOns. The next Legislature will be
the most important that has assemb-
led in this State for many years.
Hard times are upon us and we see
that our best and most able men
are elected in order that il possible
to receive aid through legislative
means it may be assured to us.
One thing above others the people
should be certain to do and that is
to elect men who are determined not
TO accept free passes and sneeze for
the Railroads. 1t is high time that
they should be made to bear a reas-
enable share Of the general taxation
and placed under such restrictions
that Tennesseeans, especially East
Tennesseeans, will no longer have
cause to complain of exorbitant
freight charges over the very roads
which their money constructed.
The Railroads are now fully able to
pay tax. They have received
enough favor, now let justice be
done the people.-GreeneUiLe Ameri-

NORMAL SCHOOL.

THE PROCEEDINGS AT HUCKEL-
BERRY S-COMPLIXEN-
- TARY TO PROF. BEAMAN.
To the Editor Of the Morristown Gazette:
AS was announced, the Normal
School, at Huckleberry Springs, was
opened by Prof. f. C. Beaman on
the 14th inst. and continued until the
Gath inst.
The school opened with about ss25
teachers in attendance, all of whom
took great interest in the work.
This school, unlike the most OF
Institutes, was conducted as regu-
lar class drill, thus the teachers not
only reviewing their studies, and
hearing the best methods of teach
ing discussed, but also had each
method tested by an efficient instruc-
tor. The teachers expressed their
pleasure to have the actual work OF
the school room illustrated hence
the class drills were made very in
structive and entertaining.
Superintendent L. G. Harms, at
tended the Institute during the first
week and enlivened the exercises
with several able and scholarly
lectures. He has the thanks of the
teachers for his wholesome instruc.
tion and valuable suggestions.
Prof F. c. Beaman merits much
honor for the real fidelity and efilci-
ency i'm the management of the
school. None could have been more
thorough in instruction or more In.
borious and successful in the enter.
prise.
All were greatly pleased with the
school, and the way it was managed,
the teachers especially, and to show
their high appreciation of their in
structor's services, appointed a com.
mittee to draft resolutions. The fol.
lowing we're presented to the teach
ers, and unanimously adopted:
Res0EUed. That we, the teachers,
who have been attending the Normal
School at Huckleberry Springs. un-
der the management of Prof. f.. G.
Beaman, tender our thanks to him
for his efforts in our behalf.
ResOlUed. That, we will ever hold
in grateful remembrance his kind.
ness to US, and endeavor in the fu.
ture to profit by his example and
efficient instruction
The Institute adjourned to meet
the Sd Monday of July, rs.
As the success of schools depend
materially upon the grade of the
teachers. the directors should be
awakened to the Importance of Nor
NAL Schools. and insist upon their
teachers attending them; if they do
not do so with their own accord.
We hope. in the future, teachers will
show that they fully appreciate the
Normal School. by attending it.

PhilaIelphia ChiId stealers.

There is nothing new in the Phila-
delphia kidnapping case. except a
private telegram was received in
that city at a late hour Saturday
night stating that child, supposed
TO be little Charles Ross, had passed
through Belair, Md, and that the
detectives were twenty-four hours
behind it. The following note was
received by Mr.. Harry Brown ip
Philadelphia last Friday:
"PHILADELPuA, July 16.-Look
after that youngster of yours, Harry.
He is watched by English snatchers.
Has been watched at Norris square:
Others had better be careful.

The note is written on a small
piece of yellow paper, the writing
being of neat business style, but
apparently disguised. The address
on the somewhat soiled white enve-
lope is in a small, crooked hand, and
looks as though it might have been
written by a woman. The boy al
luded to, who is an only child, is
between two and three years of
age, and is greatly idoIized by his
parents. Mr.. Brown will have the
matter investigated. 1t is reported
that for some time past strange
man has been playing in Norris
square and Hancock and Diamond
streets, where the writer of the above
note states the English snatchers"
are watching.

Calvert. alias !" Button Joe," has
been arrested by private detective
on suspicion of his knowing some
thing about the boy Ross-Calvert

INDICTMENT.
The People VS.. Railroad Corpora
tiOnS.

1.-Nearly. all the railroads of the State
were built principally by State and
county aid; the balance of the cost
being furnished mainly by private
stock subscriptions among the farm
ers and others along the various
lines, and not by the capital of those
who now control the roads. ....
2.-This private stock which constitut-
ed only a comparatively small pro-
portion of the cost of the roads, has
passed out of tile hands and control
s of those who furnished even this
portion of the means to build the
roads, into the hands of the present
railroad owners, in and ont Of the
State, at about 25 cents on the dol
lar. So that the present owners of
the roads have paid for them. a ue7y
small per cent of original cost; the
balance of the cost having been land
is still being paid by the taxes of the
people, and by the original stock
subscribers.
3.-Present owners of the railroads of
the State by getting control of the
roads in the manner they have,
have amassed immense wealth, and
in addition to the immense amounts
annually added to the value of the
railroads, arc drawing princely salar-
les, and in many instances dividends
a of from 20 to 40 per cent on their
actual outlay.
4.-These railroad owners are now DIS
TERMINATING AGAINST THE
PEOPLE whose taxes and subsclip-
tiOns built the roads, and in favor of
foreigners, in their freight rates, to
such an extent as to badly cripple
the agricultural and other interests
of the State.
5.-They are charging, and always have
charged, rates of freight out of all
proportion to the actual cost of the
labor performed by them.rt
G.-Thcy are charging, and always have
charged, rates of freight greater than
their charters allow them, and hare
tins rioIettod their charters and rendered
them subject to t0g5eiture.
1.-THE railroad property of the State
has been hitherto exempted from
taxation, in violation of that clause
of the constitution whicn requires
that "0U property shall be hred accord
ing to its value"
3.-The officers in'charge of these roads,
- are, and have been, exercising a very
corrupting influence upon the pub
lie press, and various governmental
departments of the State, BY A
DESPICABLE SYSTEM OF DEAD
HEADISM. This system is danger
Gus in its tendencies, AND OUGHT
TO BE LEGISLATED OUT OF
EXISTENCE.
0.-These railroad corporations have
heretofore, to some extent, dictated
legislation in Tennessee. Their
power, at present rates, will soon be
such, that they viii do for us, of
Tennessee, what they have already
done for the people of some other
States, dictate Through their wealthy
our legislative policy, and Through
the ba1lot-box and their influence on
voters,) the judicial policy of the
State.
