WASHINGTON, May 2l,-The President o-day ap-
pointed Samuel w. Ferguson, of Mississippi. to be
a member Of the Mississippi river commission,
vice James B. Eads, resigned, The appointment
creates a good deal OF comment here Ferguson,
1t is said, was West Pointer and a confederate,
and many are wondering why the President
should pass by a number of active men in his
own party to appoint Ferguson. Secretary Lin
coin is understood TO be one of the wonderers.
Washington special N. Y. World
Why should it create comment? Gen,
Ferguson sas West Pointer, and waS a con-
.federate, but there are no confederates in the
Uar sense of the term now. Gen. Ferguson is
fine engineer, has lived all his life on the
Mississippi river, and is thoroughly CONVEX
SAINT with all the plans and schemes proposed
for the improvement of the river. He is a
gentleman who does not belong to any rings
and will do his duty. Is the war over or
not?

THE filing of the vacancy caused by the
resignation of Internal Revenue Commits
sioner Raum came at last as a surprise,
though there was no haste about it, 1t was
the result of careful looking over of the
ground by the President himself and the Sc
lection at last of man of ability,
familiar with the internal revenue laws,
without any entangling record as one who
had been active as Counsel for defendant"
in revenue cases. Mr.. Walter Evans is gem
tleman prominent in the republican party of
Kentucky and pretty we'll known to
many gentlemen in politics outside that
state. Though it was a surprise to many here
and elsewhere, it will be no surprise in the

In a column and half editorial the
Gallatin Examiner arraigns Mr.. Head,
representative of Sumner county, for
his disloyalty to the interests and
wishes of his people, the state and TIE
party in supporting the railroad con-
tiscation acts. The democratic plat
form never demanded any such ar
bitraPy seizure OF the railroads, and
even the World, the most rabid up
holder of latter-day monstrosities, has
acknowledged its error in this matter
by turning its opinions. The legisla-
tors have mistaken popular thought.
Ii is easy enough to create a prejudice
against monopolies or rich corporations.
Men are naturally envIous and they
have exaggerated ideas of the power
and will OF railroad corporations to OPP
press and gouge them, but when it comes
to selling these railroads and choking
them to death, the people call for halt
and they Will not sanction such legisla-
lion, because they know that it will in
jure them more than the railroads AL
ready work has been Suspended on the
Lawrcnceburg road, On railroad
through Sumner county, and in several
other places. Notice has been given
coal dealers in Nashville not to make
the usual contracts for coal, as the rail-
roads will be compelled TO advance the
freight some ten cents bushel. The
railroads are compelled to defend them
selves. They are net charging near as
much as their charter rs allow them and
if they are to be put under outside
management and their affairs controlled
by outsiders they will have to run up
their rates to meet their losses. We
arm that Gov, Brown said that the
creation of the commission in Texas
had stopped railroad building there.
they have called halt in Georgia.
Verify, the south is cutting her own
throat. We shall have to make applica-
zion after awhile to have q guardian ap-
pointed tor us. This is the worst
blight that was ever cast upon Tennes-
see-an absolute, whitening, devastating
blow to our state. We hope our senator
will not vote TOR it, and we are sorry
that our representatives made them
selves parties to this damaging bust
ness. We call upon Gov. Bate, in the
name of our struggling industries and
our unborn wealth that railroads alone
can develop, to veto the obnoXio us
measure If it shall pass the senate
Democracy never contemplated such a
terrible onslaught upon our interests,
and the platform has been grossly vio-
lated.
