WHAT WILL THE DEMOCRATS Do?

1t may be accepted as almost Gers
tain that the Legislature will pass q
low funding the State debt on the
basis of the proposition submitted
by the bondholders. We are not
prepared to say that all the creditors
of the State will compromise on that
basis, but a respectable number of
them have SAID they will. and we are
satisfied that majority of them, if
not all, will compromise on that
basis. Speaking for ourselves, we
would never have asked or even in
timated to them that we desired such
proposition, and we say now as we
said when the 50-4 proposition was
before the people few years ago,
that if there are any who are willing
to fund on the basis of sixty cents on
the dollar, and shall decline to
do so, that we shall favor their pay
ment on basis which is satisfactory,
even to one hundred cents to the
dollar and six per cent interest.
We recognize the fact that this
proposition comes, not because the
holders of the bonds have any doubt
as to the validity of their debts, nor
from feeling that the State is une
able to pay, but from convictions
or rather a fear, that it is impossible
for them to collect what the State
has promised to pay. Taking this
view of the case, we do not think
that the honor of the State is fully
preserved in the acceptance. But
under all the circumstances, thes e
people having voluntarily made the
proposition, without any solicitation
from the authorities of the State, the
Legislature cannot refuse to
accept it. To do so would
be construed into a refusal to pay
that much, and would strengthen
the reputation theory throughout
the State, already strong.
When the proposition is enacted
in the form of law, what will the
Democratic politicians do about it !
The coupon feature is not included
and there will be no ground for lu-
diciaI interference. The funding
board will proceed at once to FUND
the debt under the new law. Before
the election, in November, the con
tract will have. been executed and the
creditors placed in possession OF
their new obligations. On the 20th
day of next month the Democratic
State convention will be held. 1t must
take some sort of action on this
question. It can neither ignore
nor dodge it. Can those who have
protested to be State credit men OPP
pose a sttlement on that basis? Will
the low tax men oppose settlement
at that rate and contend for still
lower one? Will the Democrats,
whether State credit or so called low

The Nashville American is sort
of Democratic barometer. 1t indi.
Gates that a great storm is brewing
in their party. 1t is painfully alarm
ed. For few weeks it has ground
faithfully on it's harmonicon, and try
ing to create the impression that in
the Democratic camps all was as calm
and bright and serene as a May
morning. But the fact is, it has been
crying peace, peace, while there was
no peace. It's music has been of that
ghostly sort, practiced by men who
whistle to keep their courage up.
But now it has changed its tune. 1t
has gone back to fifteen years ago,
and instead of trying to keep the De-
mocratic ranks unbroken by the hypo-
crisy of it's music, it is trying to
frlghten ignorant and superstitious
Democrats with the ghost of
"Brownlow's militia" It points to the
decentralization produced by the war
and the exciting events which fol
lowed, as specimens of what we may
expect if the Republicans succeed in
Tennessee.
The poor old American, senile and
in its dotage, a laughing stock to the
Republicans and humiliation to in
telligent Democrats Unable to
save the party by legitimate means,
it is going back and raking up the
smouldering recollections of the war.
Not being equal to the present it
lives only in the past.

tax, keep this most demoralizing ques
ton in State politics, for no other
reason than that it has been settled
under a Republican administration,
Some ofthe Democratic organs, with
monumental stupidity, are already
saying and have for some time said
that no settlement could or would
stand unless made by the Democrats.
The people of the State may make
good such assinine assertions, but we
do not believe they will.

The subject of the land grants made to that road

The war between GOnId and NanderbIIt
about Eastern rates on cotton from St Louis con
tinues to be waged and the results promise favor
able for Memphis. A st. Louis agent recently
predicted the situation as follows: 1.-The Eastern
lines will soon begin TO be crowded with orders to
move the produce that remains in the country, and
they will be taxed their utmost 10 meet the de-
mand In anticipation of the rush, they are in
different TO the cotton aspects. snd am of the
OPT uiOn that they do not care whether they carry
a single bale OF Elst-bOund cotton. They have
come To the couclu- ion that Gould was taking the
cream OF the business and leaving his rivals moth
ing but skim milk 10 subsist upon. They may be
right. and probably know whether they can afford
to drive the cotton trade to Memphis, New Orleans
and Galveston; but If he cereal movement is not
equal to their expectations they will regret the

will lose by the inimical opposition of one or two
Eastern lines. The trade learn, has despaiTed
