THE END OF IT.
Shelbyville Commercial.


Now that the people of Tennessee
have said by an overwhelming vote
that they will not pay so cents in the
dollar on the railroad bonds, the suit
brought by the b6ndholder against
the railroads will be heard by Judge
strong Of The United States Supreme
Court at Nashville on the IS b instant,
and it is evident to our mind tLat the
bondholders will gain it, which will
settle the matter. 1t Twas the dread OF
such result that prompted the stock
holders in these roads to put forth such
strenuous efforts to enlist all the prom
ir ent officials in their behalf, that
through them they might induce the
people to assume the Indebtedness of
the roads, that in the event they lost
the suit the people would be pledged
to repair all losses they might sus.

The damage to Tennessee, re-

demagogues who have 5 made a
great many people believe that the
road to material property lays
through Glow taxes, is incalculable.
The most prosperous States in the
Union pay high taxes. In some
portions of New York the road
tax alone is ten times more than
the entire State tax in Tennessee.
The school tax in a majority of the
prosperous States els four or five
times more than our entire
State tax. Public benefits do not
