The following letter from Senator
Edmundson Will correct an error
into which many have fallen with
respect to the revenue assessment
bill that has passed the legislature.
He also throws some light on the
railroad legislation project:
Dear Sir-An amendatory assess
ment act has ,assed the legislature
and been published in some of the
papers here, which seems to be
creating quite disturbance in
many portions of the state. 1t APP
plies only TO the Memphis taxing
district and not to the state gener-
ally. No assessment or revenue
bill for the state generally has yet
been passed or considered. Your
letter in regard to public roads was
read with much pleasure and doubt
less with profit. The road bill 1
sent you was agreed upon by the
Joint committee of the two houses
as the best one of the many referred
to said committee. l hope it will
be amended in several particulars,
vi 4 GlAellA WIG ~ dAA ACb
the old law remain as it is. You
seem to be rather averse to a rail-
road commission. The bill / sent
you is regarded by the railroad
officials as the most conservative
and moderate and the only one of
the many introduced in the legisla-
ture in which they wall acquiesce.
This bill of mine is rather strin-
gent in some particulars, l think,
but / fear it is not enough so to !
meet the demand of majority OF
the members-it was not enough so
to suit the views of the caucus
Whether the caucus bill will receive
the sanction Of the two houses is
vet to be seen. 1 am committed |

we have discretion as to its char
acter or features. l certainly shall
not vote for any kind of one
Even railroads have some rights
that should be regarded.

DIR. w. B. Squire, prominent and
well-known physician of Worthington,
Ind, in writing to DR.. White, says: 81
have sold your Pnlmonaria and Dande-
lion in my drug store for six years and
have never known them TO fail doing
all that is promised for them. The Pull
monaria is a specific for whooping
Cough. L have practlced medicine for
more than twenty-five years, and have
tried all the usual remedies for this dis
ease, without success. l have recon-
mended the Pulmonaria in more than
one hundred cases of Whoopipg Cough,
and it has always cured. Last January
my own child was attacked with whoop-
ing cough, and became quite bad before
we were aware what the difficulty was.
We at once began the use of the Pulmo-
maria, after which she rested well at
night. Her cough became better ut
once, and in two weeks time she was
entirely cured. L could procure score
OF certificates as strong as my own, in
favor of your PulmOnaria."

The Stock Company.

1t has not yet been decided what
shall be the name of the association
for the breeding and training OF
pacing and trotting horses, but the
project is already under way and
the charter prepared awaiting the
selection of q name. The company
has organized by electing Mr.. F. G.
Buford as president, Mr.. r. c. Rey-
nolds as vice president, and Mr.. NJ.
G. Fitzpatrick as secretary md
treasurer. The other stockholders
are Ed. Buford, Terry Dickerson,
L. w. Reynolds, VIM. Alternately,
DR.. w. E. Wilson, D. S. Simmons
and Mrs. Tom. Buford The farm
of Mrs. Tom. Buford has been
leased for term OF years and ST.
600 has been subscribed, with pros
pect of an immediate rise to $25, 900.
The company have bought Almont
for $4,000 and are already making
arrangements for fine mares and for
q competent trainer.
There is no doubt now as to the
enterprise, with these men of expe-
and capital to push il. The
good effect of it is already apparent
up there, as it is said that under
the inspirations born of discussion
the people generally are sowing
more oats and clover and renounc-
ing cotton. We hail this venture
as the pioneer in the great advance
Giles county is about to take-is
taking-towards more
profitable and pleasant system of
These lands of ours, so pc
and splendidly suited to the
raising of all the grasses, ought not
o be prostituted to cotton that i'm
1overishes land and owner alike.

A few days ago gentleman re-
marked that sin less than one year
the present would be the most nm
popular legislature that had con
vened in Tennessee for ten years
While 1 hope the prediction will not
be verified, fear the interest and
welfare of the tax payers is not
guarded as well as it might be, and
legislation to be popular must OPP
crate in the interest of the many
not the few. ,..,s.,.-.....
First, then, the settlement of the
state debt being the most impor-
tant matter for this legislature to
consider, ever 81, 900, 900 could have
been saved, the platform preserved
and entire Justice done by propos-
ing to the holders of state debt
proper bonds none but original
according to Compt. Gains report,
1,34O, say 81, SAC, 000--all the edu-
cational and charitable and Mrs.
Folks bonds to fund them at 70 or
rs cents in the dollar and 3 per
cent. interest.
Second, nearly $4,000 could
have been saved to the state by
accepting the defaulting treasurer's
proposition without in any wise
compromising crime.
Third, privilege taxation, unless
very wisely distributed, operates in
the interest of the monopolists and
against the masses. For instance,
tax cotton gins 500 and you com
pei the many small producers to
go further and pay higher toll to
get gin able to pay the privilege.
By reducing competition you enable
the privileged to charge greater toll,
The same with the milk dealers !;
the tax will keep off small compel
itors, preventing them from dispos
ing of their surplus and enabling
the dealer to raise his prices.
And last but not least, the many
are not interested in creating more
Offices at public expense. Better
for them, many oflthe Improbable
ones we have were abolished. There
is not bill before the legislature
that 1 have seen creating railroad
commission but that would be use
less to the many taxpayers and ben
eft only few large shippers and
the lucky ones that. get the com
mission with big salaries and no
hard or difficult work. The salaries
are too enormous; hundreds of
men are doing more work of brain
and muscle than is required of
them for less than one-fourth; nor
could they adjust the differences
between small shippers and dam
aged stock owners and the railroads
without more expense to owner or
shipper than his claim is worth. I
do hope this Legislature will act
wisely and create no railroad COM
mission, and by wise 'and economi-
cal legislation Tighten as much as
they can the burdens of the tax
payers, make their legislature pop
ular that there may not again arise
the necessity of low-tax party or
ganization. s Low TAXER.

Rridegroom snragne.

Mr.. Halstead's special: Ohio
people will be interested in the new
start taken by ex-Gov. Sprague,
of Rhode Island. He not only
holds Canochet by the decree of the
supreme court OF the shotgun, but
on Saturday he took possession with
his new wife of the old Sprague man
sion in Providence, and had all that
he could do to avoid giving a bril-
liant reception. He is not only a
bridegroom-he is also n reform
candidate for governor. and after
the election OF Ben. Butler to boss the
dignities of Massachusetts, who
shall say what blessing may not be in
reserve for Rhode Island. The pop
ular heart still turns fondly to the
heroes of the war. Butler promises
to help Sprague in his run, and as
the only objection TO Sprague is his
incapacity for the office and utter
unfitness for the performance of its
duties, the presumption is that I'M
less the humor OF the people has
changed within a few months he
has first rate chances for q return to
public life. The race of the ex-gov-
ernor for second term is to be
strictly in the character of an indie
pendent reformer.

We want to say, without stopping
to discuss the matter, that the pro-
posed railroad legislation will not
meet with the endorsement of the
people. The commission will have
more power to regulate the affairs
of the roads than the owners of the
roads themselves. AS well appoint
a committee to run your farm or
your store or your shop. We re-
peat, that while there are evils to be
corrected, it is better to approach
the matter moderately than by hasty
and oppressive legislation to Grip
pie our great developing power and
so hedge them in and about that no
capital win dare to invest in other
roads. IL railroads are not to pay,
men are.not going to build them; and
il they are not TO be permitted to
manage the affairs of project in
which their money is invested, they
will invest it somewhere else. We
have just cause of complaint, but
are we not making matters wOrse2
The Courier Journal takes this
view. The Banner and the Ameri-
can see the danger, and even the
World has softened in its resentment
Country papers all over the state
are giving these Mornings. The
legislature is mistaken in the pop
ular mind One or two papers
thought denunciation was the card
to paWto tickle the populace, but the
people had more sense and discre-
tion than they were credited with.
We want more railroads and this is
not the way to get them. That is
enOngh.
