EDITORIAL NOTES.
RAILROAD COMMISSIONERS.

The result of the unbecoming Sen.
atorial 'sit down" on Gen. Rusk, is
the appointment of JACK TURNER.
With proper respect for the cour-
tesies due a brother of the tripod,
and with full appreciation Of Jack g
capabilities as an editor and political
manager, we must admit that had
we been required to select man to
stand in the breach between the
railroads and the people as Railroad
Commissioner, we should have never
thought of selecting Jack. His con-
firmation by the Senate is accounted
for by the fact that that body were
prepared to repair as far as possible
their malicious conduct toward
Rusk, by a graceful acceptance OF
whomsoever the Governor might
next nominate. But for this peculiar
circumstance Mr.. Turner's confirma-
ton would have been tardy if at ali !;
as many Senators who opposed Rusk,
openly say that had they anticipated
Turner's being tho next nominee,
their course would have been differ
ent.
What special plea or consideration
could have Influenced the Governor
to nominate Turner instead of one Of
the many better qualified and equally
deserving gentlemen presented for
his consideration is mystery no
one undertakes to explain. A few
who must be wholly unacquainted
with the christian grace which
forbids returning evil for evil,
seem to think that in making his
second nomination the Governor
was mainly influenced by desire
to retaliate upon the Senator'S for
their unchristianlike course toward
the Executive in dealing with Rusll,
by a nomination equally distasteful
and which the Senate could scarcely
avoid confirming. W. II. Is.
