THE testimony taken before the
investigating committee of the State
Senate is repulsive to every honest
Tenneseean, and brings the blush
of shame to the cheek of every man
who loves his State. Candor COM
pels us to say that the revelation are
the most disgraceful when they ex-
pose the conduct of the opponents of
the 1908 measure. All along the
charge has been that the corruption
was entirely on the side of the friends
of the measure, who were supposed
to have the money and the power
to carry their ends by bribery and
corruption, and this the people have
believed almost with out exception.
But such are not the facts brought
to light by the testimony before the
committee. The darkest villiany,
the most diabolical and unscrupu-
lous efforts to make money, even at
the risk of the lives of members Of
the Legislature, is to be found laid
at the door of the opponents of the
measure, Conduct little short of
murder, was resorted to by these
men to carry their purposes. We
duldZGu dU ISNSIdLlODS
before the committee. 1t is the
most disgraceful episode in the his
tory of Tennessee, and every man
who is guilty should be put into the
penitentiary and made to wear the
felon's garb, having dishonored
their State, and debauched and
prostituted their claims to be con-
sidered any longer gentlemen, or
worthy citizens. Thestartling rev.
elations before the committee will
have wonderful effect on the pop
ular mind of the State. The most
powerful cause of the tremendous
opposition to the 1908 measure has
been that the people believed that
it was brought about by bribery and
corruption, but when they find that
equally disgraceful efforts at bribery
and corruption came from the oppo-
nents of the measure, their eyes will
.be open, and a corresponding effect
will be produced in the public ap-
prehensiOn of the matter. We own
that we have been astounded at the
turn things have taken, and were
not prepared for such an exhibition
from the side which has always
been most clamerous for the rights
of the people, and most denunciato-
ry of the corrupt methods and
measures of their opponents

THE American Manufactured
says: "The industrial development
Of the South Is advancing by leaps
and bounds, and the beauty of 1t Is
the fact that the other sections of
the country have no feeling of jeal-
ousy, but on the contrary, have only
words of encouragement. We are
glad that this feeling exists--glad
in behalf of the South, glad In be-
half of the other sections, and glad
in behalf of our common country,
in whose greatness and progress we
all take pride"

Cost of the Guiteau TriaI.

A calculation has been unofficially
made by the officers of the court as
to what the Guiteau trial will cost
the government. 1t is estimated
that the regular expenses, including
the payment of the bills and eXpen-
ses of witnesses other than experts,
will foot up about 5000. In addi-
ton to this there will be the pay
ment of the expert witnesses, who
will put iD bills for regular profess
ional services. 1t is estimated that
their bills and the extraordinary ex-
penses. always more or less connect
ed with criminal trails, will make
bill of some $4,000 or $50, ,000
which the government will have to
pay.

The Orange Crop.
Jacksonville lElnA dispatch.

We have to report a continuation
of loss and decay of fruit by split
ting and falling from the trees.
Some groves from which ii was. es-
timated 5000 boxes would be ship
ped, now do not expect to get more
than 2,Q',0 boxes. This Is a special
ly bad case, proDably the worst in
the State. The gross results OF dam
age from this cause Is difficult to es-
innate, but we would say that 25
per cent. of the crop win be lost,
The question arises, what are the
dealers going to do to supply tho
demand for Florida fruit? There
is none in Louisiana, although we
see Louisiana fruit quoted in the
New York market. The supply Is
not in this State. Somebody Is go
ing to be woiully humbugged, and
the fortunate possessor of good Flor
ida oranges after January 1st will
be handsomely rewarded for intel
ligence and energy.

Couldn't Pull Him.
jackson Tribune and Sun.

The loW-taX crowd evidently
"caught Tartar" when they got
BransfOrd on the witness stand in
the bribery scandal. The lawyers
on that side made strenuous efforts
to get him. It was freely given out
that he would establish all that they
charged. His non-appearance for
some days after the subpoena was
issued greatly exercised them, and
the senate was called upon to take
extraordinary steps to bring him
forward. The longer he absented
himself the louder they proclaimed
that he was the witness of witnesses
for their side, and it was even
intimated in outside circles that the
1908 men were hiding him out.
But all of u sudden, and when ex-
citemeut and expectation were at
fiood-tide, Mr.. Bransford came up,
smiling, and insisted that he had
not been hiding out, and was per-
fectly willing to obey the summons
of the committee. He was placed
on the stand and the loW-taX law
yers entered confidently and smil-
ingly into the congenial work of
tuIulAS Hill 1uoIOO Outs Dut LhCJ
had not proceeded with the process
long before they began trying to
turn him loose. They looked sol
emnly at each other and wriggled.
They gazed gravely on the COM
mittee and wiggled. They gazed
at the garrulous witness and shook
and shook and shook. But they
couldn't turn him loose. He held
fast and "turned ON the chromeo."
Finally, like the Irlshman who
caught the turtle, they implored
help to turn him loose. But Gen.
Wright, the chief counsel for the
accused senators, instead of helping
the despairing "counsel for the peo-
pIe," laid hold and assisted in "turn-
ing Oh the chromeo." There was no
help for it Bransford couldn't be
turned loose until he run down, or
it thundered, or until he got through
with his panorama. And his
"chromeo" is now fully before the
people. What do you think of it?
What can they say in future to the
howlers of fraud and corruption
against everything and everybody
that dares stand up for state credit
and the law of the land? Is it pos
sible, after the revelation made in
the investigation now going on, for
the people to again trust the men
who are primarily and altogether
responsible for the present state of
things, and whose efforts to bespat-
ter the garments of state credit lead
ers has resulted in bespattering the
yi1t,r of
own faction, and showing that if
there was fraud in the 1908 settle
ment, the burden of it rests on the
shoulders of those interested in its
defeat?
