HOPE TO WIN
Is the Way the Bluff City Grays
Feel Over lt.

Big interest is felt throughout the city
among the younger members of society
in the Nashville military contest. Ques-
tions are put and thousands of expressions
given at every corner and in all circles
and castles.
Bets were made to-day at two against
one to the amount of several hundred
dollars on the Bluffs coming out second
best or better in the final decision.
A fine reception is in preparation
for the Bluff Oitys upon their return
to this their home, ana whether they
win or not they hold a warm place
in the public heart. Our people appre-
ciate and esteem the Grays for their
many noble qualities Of heart and soul.
Drawn as they are from the families of so
many leading citizens, the Grays are a
representative body of the rising genera
tion. and it is encouraging to learn that
they have acquitted themselves so hand
somey in the Nashville match contcs ts
Going away from home so far to enter
field against carefully drilled companies
from New Orleans, Indianapolis and
Nashville it is natural that the Bluff
City Grays drilled at IA disadvantage, yet
the latest reports ind, ate that their
chances are good for the first prize,
amounting to $l700, and they are very
sure to bring home several purses
gloriously won, of lesser magnitude. The
Grays attracted much attention at Nash
ville,a and won all hearts by their soldierly
bearing, their precision and their skill in
the various military maneuyers. 1t was
their first competitive contest where regu-
lar army officers were judges They did
excellently in the manual, though some
were slightly nervous at the start, yet this
all wore off, and their column became
.eady as a stone wall ll.Their proficiency in
ield movements was splendid, and they
drew forth hearty plaudits of approval
from the thousands Of spectators. In
marching they were also admirable, and
their changes of front, etc, were superb
The modest department, soldierly bearing
and general superiority impressed tho
spectators with the belief that they had
achieved a success, and it will yet surprise
many if the first prize is not awarded tc
them
"The popular Grays are sure to win
yet" is the expression given by many,and
| they will come home with the belief that
they ought to have had the first prize
whether it is given them or not.

Quick Run.

The popular local packet steamer James
Lee, Captain 5. 5. Lee, has been doing
some tall running On the trip from Hell
ena to this port yesterday she came up in
eight hours and thirty-hve minutes, the
boat having left Glendale, on the opposite
side Of the river just below Helena, at ten
minutes past ten yesterday forenoon, ar
irving here at 6:45 last evening, the above
being the time from port to port. As she
is the regular mail boat, and made twenty
two landings, of course some time was
lost, and Engineer Lou Jones, who kept
the time, states that three hours and forty
one minutes were lost at these landings,
and if the same be deducted will make
her running time four hours and fifty-four
minutes, which is about eighteen miles an
hour against a heavy current.

For the week ending Way 9th, MS cabed to
the Memphis cotton exchange.

Prince Gortschakoff is said to have
somewhat surprised the young czar
not long ago. The old diplomatist
had always announced that he should
retire after % years service. The
czar accordingly sent him a hattering
letter, with touching keepsake, ex-
pecting to receive his resignation in
return. Instead of this the old chan
cellor sent sentimental reply, express
sing a hope that he would soon be
well enough to resume active service.
The emperorwas angry, but yentured
to say nothing, and since then seems
to be in search of a pretext, which the
willy diplomatist will beware of fur
nishing.

Big Sale ON a Blue Grass Ken
tuclky Farm.

LOUISVILLE, May 27.-The annual sale
of yearlings at the Preakness farm of M,
II. Sanford near Lexington, resulted in
the sale of thirty-eight head,ge of Virgil,
Glenelg, Monarchist, Ten Brock, and
other good sires. Eighteen colts sold for
Sl7, $50, the average price per head being
full $947. OF these eighteen there were
seven by Glenelg, and they brought S9240
Five by Monarchist sold for 5000. Two
by Virgil went for $4200. Tworepresent-
ing the great Ten Brock passed under the
hammer, aggregating only $870,and lastly
a haywood and King Leah declined to
800 each.
The average on fllies was a fraction
over $400, the full amount for twenty
head of these disposed Of being SS025. II
appears that three out of the twenty in
question were by Glenelg, and they sold
for 1895. Tue seven by Virgil sold fol-
$3.50, and the ten by Monarchist for $3470
Thus we have $25,075 as the entire sum
for the thirty eight head disposed of
Most Of the purchases were by Colonel
Bruce for James r. Keene.

We republish to day, before it gets
cold, the Appeals statement defining
its position on the 1908 act. The
exact words" are used, hence there
can be no mistake. Our cotemporary
has had good deal to say, and that
in an able and convincing style,
against the act, both before and after
its passage, but now declares that it is
and should be a fnality. There is
nothing we respect more in journalism
than an open declaration, and support
policy or principle. We understand
very well that the Appeal in arriving
at its final and doubtless irrevocable
conclusion with regard to this grave
and vexed question, accepts the set
tlement without condoning any of the
alleged rascality by which it was ac.
complished in and around the legis-
lature. But punishment Of corrup-
tiOhists, however severe, would not
afford any relief to the people. Public
indignation and a smarting sense OF
wrong and betrayal cannot be appeased
by relegating few weak or corrupt
legislators to private life, or even by
sending them to the penitentiary,
where some of them belong, unless
they are badly slandered. When a
man is arrested for stealing a horse,
and is sent up for it, the owner is
not likely to be satisfied until he
gets his horse back. Punishment
threatened does not meet the require
ments of this case The people were
basely betrayed by feeble-mindedif not
corrupt representatives, and will de
mand that this thing be undOne. The
LEDGER S position scarcely needs to be
defined, as we have pursued but one
course on this question. We opposed
the 100 3 before it was passed, re.
ioiced when it was supposed to be
defeated, and earnestly hope
to see it declared uncon-
stitutional by the courts and
reversed at the ballot box. We are
not for reputation, but for an equit-
able compromise and never expect tC
acquiesce in anything else. Sorry tC
part company with our good old FRIEND
the Appeal, when there is so mucf
sympathy and unison between us ii
common, but it will have to be SO

THERE is Judge omewherc up in
Middle Tennessee by the name Of
Williams. j. j. Williams, we believe,
is the way he signs his name. The
last time he signed it, as far as the
public knows, it was at the bottom Of
fiat which had something in it
about injunction, bonds, funding
board. and the like. Since then the
Nashville American, that dets copies
for 50 many papers, has dubbed him
plain Jack Williams, and expresses a
verypoor opinion Of said jackwilliams's
opinion. This is very sad; it reduces
an official to the ranks by drum head
court martial, without giving him
time to take off his uniform. 1t is
not known officially" as
they say in Pinafore, whether
jackwilliams has since smiled,
If he has, the bump of hardheadedness
must stick out on his Uranium like the
larboard side Of a punger gOurd. OF
course, it is of no Importance, as the
late Mr.. Toots used to say, as to what
