MEXICAN PREJUDICE AGAINST
RAILROADS.

The Mexicans of Sonora evidently
belong to that class of people who,
II they become great, must have
greatness thrust upon them. Not
withstanding the benefits which
American enterprise is comforting
upon them in the opening up of
their territory by railroads, in de-
veloping their mines, and increas-
ing the value of their property gen.
orally, they have no fondness for
their benefactors. In this, we are
informed, they differ from their
neighbors of Chihuahua, who are
inclined to welcome the influx both
of citizens of the United States and
their capital. It LOOKS very much
as if the people of Sonora would
have to be made the subject of
diplomatic action, and q little
exterior civilization pumped into
them. Difficulties in the rum
ming of the new railroad
BY Americans have developed
themselves to such an extent that
a clearer understanding as to mat
tiers and things must be arrived at
in some way. 1t is all very well to
be rigid in holding railroad men up
to a sense of their responsibilities,
but the Sonora idea is too strict to
be practical.
On the arrival of the first train
from Guaymas to Hermosillo, the
conductor, engineer and brakemen,
ali of them Americans, were ar
rested because the train was behind
time. An application of this prln-
pie throughout the United States
would give rise to strenuous OBJ
jections IN railroad circles, however
beneficial it might prove to the
public. The prosecution of SO

The Tennessee State Debt.

Politicians are looking with some
interest toward Tennessee, whose
Legislature meets in January, to see
if the Democratic party will be as
fully ''Mahoneized" by the repudia-
tionists in that State as were the
Republicans in Virginia. Viewed
from a party standpoint, such step
would be very gratifying to Repub-
licans, as they would find in it a
countercharge whenever the scandal
of the Malone alliance is thrown at
them. The ''forcible readiustment"
of the Tennessee State debt is al
most an exact copy of the Manone
programme in Virginia, and it's sance
ton and adoption by the Democrats
would shut their mouths on the Re-
publican surrender in the more
eastern Stale.
The history of the Tennessee debt
is interesting and instructive. It
began in 1884, when the State grant
ed aid to the amount of about ST.
100000 for internal improvements.
In 1852 the State went heavily into
schemes of railroad development,
and voted nearly S30,000,000 to
build new roads. Then came the
war, which SO devastated the State
and destroyed the property of the
railroads that eleven of the roads
were declared delinquent, and sold
for only 100000, though they cost
the State three times that amount.
The debt balance rose in time, with
interest and with some other items,
to about 100000.
In 1873 the State, feeling the diff
fculty OF paying this large amount,
began to take steps to get accommo-
dat1on from its creditors. Various
proposals were made, on one side
and the other, and have in fact been
continued till the pres emit time.
Year by year, meanwhile, the Read
juster movement gathered head,
until in 1880 the crisis came and a
vote of the State was taken on the
direct issue, the vote standing 1885,
| 900 to 81, 900 in favor of sustaining
the States credit. Not dismayed
by this failure, however, the res
pudiationists continued their organi
cation and their Efforts, and in 1882
succeeded in capturing Democratic
convention. The argument used was
that the then existing agreement
providing for the settlement of the
debt at sixty per cent, with interest
at three, four, five and six per cent,
was of Republican antecedents, and
as such must be repudiated. 1t
would not do, so it was declared, to
let the Republicans have the credit
of satisfactorily settling the State
debt. At this convention of June,
1882, therefore, the agreement was
swept aside and new basis of set
Element agreed upon-namely, the
payment in full of the old
1884 debt, and the funding Of
the remainder of the State debt on
basis OF fifty per cent, bearing in
terest at the rate of three per cent.
It was at this time that the bolt il
| which Senator jackson took such an
active share occurred, and the quar-.
rel in the party still exists.
| The difference in money between
the basis of settlement accepted by
the creditors and ratified by the
State and that proposed by the fore
ible readjusters is only million and
a half of dollars, and it is a matter
of some surprise that the Democratic
party of Tennessee is willing to
compromise it's standing and that oil
the State for TO small sum-. Y

NOT "a THRIFTLEss SET"

We have seen several newspaper
illusions to the Knoxville Tribune'5
SANDER on the people who emigrate
from East Tennessee.
The Tribune says these emigrants
"may well be spared as a thrJtIess
set who give place both to new cap
ital and industry"
While the CHRONICLES panied to
see any man leave East Tennessee,
nevertheless when they do leave,
we wish them God-speed
ard prosperity; and We
send no message ahead
of them that they are "a thriftless
set" who "may wall be spared"
Emigrants from E sst Tennessee
have contributed greatly to the up
bull ling of most of our western
States; AMI wherever they settle
thy are roted for their inttlii-
gence, industry, enterprise and hon.
es'y. THY and their descendants
are found in 8 Ii the most prominent
places in church and State; and
there are always to be found in
Congress from the West men who
emigratad from E 4st Tennessee.
The Knoxville Tribune's indis-
crimiuate charge that these emf
grants are "a thriftless set" who
can swell be spared" does injustice
to those who leave and injustice to
their friends who remain.
We are3 for East Tennesseeans
whether they go out to settle the
West or remain to build up the
East. We honor those who leave
us, we love those who remain.

Some months ago we stated that r.
G.. Ingersoll had made the assertion
that the word hell could not be found
in the Old Testament, and that we
thought he must be mistaken.
During the recent term OF Court
our old friend VIM. J. Leonard was
on the Grand Jury, and one evening
he called at our office and said he had
been in poor health. and had put in
most of his time reading the Bible.
He said we were correct-that the
word occurred in many places. He
gave us the following references, and
as we have not space to copy the pas
sages, we will refer to the chapters
and verses. See Psalms 1870, 1s-5,
55-15, 1863, 1873. Proverbs,
SIS, 27-7, 9-1s, 15-11 & "a, 23-
IA, 27-2O. Isaiah 5-14, 14-9,
2S-15 & 1S, So. Ezekiel 32-21
& 81. Amos 90, and so on. 1t will
be seen, by an examination of these
various passages, that if Ingersoll
made the remark attributed to him,
that he is poorly prepared to expose
the mistakes of Moses or any other
man.
