NO RAILROAD COMMISSION.

The caucus railroad commission
bill was defeated in the Senate
Tuesday by vote of p to IL. On
the same day the railroad commits
sion bill, introduced by Senator Ed
mondson was passed by that body.
The last mentioned bill provides
for the appointment of an advisory
board and is free from the objec-
tionable features that characterized
the other bill. 1t is not probable,
however, that this Senate bill will
adopted by the House, and the
consequence is that matters
will stand in stGtU quo. The people
of some sections of the State, and
particularly at this point, will re-
joice that this is true. 1t is not
clearly proven that the interest of
Tennesseans are anywhere suffering
from railroad Determinations and
new enterprises were likely to be
damaged by an untimely interior
ence. We are truly glad that the
field is left undisturbed for the in
vestment of outside capital in Ten
nessee. Our railroad system is far
from being developed. We need
many more roads than we have,
and all due encouragement should
be given those now projected, or in
process of construction. A compar-
isOn of the map of Tennessee with
that of Pennsylvania, Ohio or Illi-
nois will show how few railroads
we have compared with those
States. The resources of Tennessee
can never become fully developed
until its map is checked all over
with black lines. The few scatter
ing lines we have are not adequate
to the needs of a prosperous and
progressive people. We must have
more railroads, but we won't get
them if such enterprises are to be
meddled with by an arbitrary and
incompetent commission.

ADJOURNED.

The Tennessee Legislature has
adjourned. AS to the amount OF
work done and the general charac-
ter of its legislation, it will COM
pare very favorable with its prede-
cessors, but it is to be more criti-
cised for its sins of omission than
those of commission. Its great
fault has been in postponing inn
portant measures and devOting too
much time to the changing of coun-
ty lines and other matters equally
as frivolous. The failure 10 pass an
intermediate court bill is unpardou-
able, and the defeat of the Peabody
bond bill is disgraceful. Had these
two measures been passed on differ
emily we could let the Legislature
off with a small amount of grOwl-
ing.

HorrIodn'S Successor.

The Memphis Avalanche has the
following in regard to the recently
appointed Criminal Judge in that
city:
Judge James NJ. Greer of the
criminal court was born in Holly
Springs, Mississippi, about "a years
ago. His father was lawyer of
that place though heretired early in
life from the practice of his profession
and became planter. Judge
Greer's parents were born in Tennes-
see and their ancestors for several
generations were Virginians. Greer
is of Scotch-Irish stock on his IA
theirs side. At the age of l6 James
NJ. entered the confederate army
and served in the army of Northern
Virginia until taken prisoner. He
carried a musket two years. On
his return from the army he found
his father so much impovished that
the family had to give up their
town home and remove to a farm.
On this farm young Greer worked
for five years, reading law at such
odd times as he could find. In 1871
~ q bAuNChl
and in January, 1872, was admitted
to practice law. Poor, without in
fluential family connections and
having slight acquaintance in the
city he has diligently and steadily
fought his way up to his present po-
sitiOn at the bar. He WAS married
in 1877 to Miss Betty Allen, dangh-
ter of DIR. John r. Allen Of Men,
phis. In December, 1873, Mr.. Greer
formed a law partnership with Mr..
E. f. Adams. This is brief rec
ord of the young lawyer who now
holds the most important office in
this county. The people have ex-
pressed great confidence in his
knowledge of the law, his honesty
and his executive ability, and the
has faith to believe he
will fully meet their expectations
and enforce the laws impartiially
and fearlessly. He has great exam
pie to lead the way In the successful
administrationof his deceased pred
ecessor that may inspire the no.
blest ambition.

It will first cross the Alabama Cen
trail ard then the Southwestern ex-
tension of the Cincinnati Southern.
Nearer the Tennessee line it will
intersect the Memphis & Charles
ton and make junction with the
Nashville & Northwestern at some
place in Dickson county. The
Louisville & Nashville will be cross
ed here and the Chesapeake & Ohio
at Princeton, KY. 1t will connect
the Gulf with the Ohio, and cross
the Tennessee and the Cumberland.
Is it reasonable to suppose that
railroad through such country
and with such connections will not
pay the interest on its first mort
gage bonds? Is there a road of
equal extent and Importance in the
world that does not pay such inter-
est? The cheapness of construction
of the proposed road will add to Its
ability to meet its obligation. 1t
requires comparatively small ex-
penditure to build a narrow gauge
road and the expense of keeping it
up is proportionately as small.
More Of the earnings then will be
left for other expenses.
When the Illinois Central road
was built. it was provided in its
charter that the surplus of the earn
ings over a certain amount should
be paid into the State Treasury.
That surplus has for years been so
large as to defray the entire expen-
ses of the State and to relieve the
people from taxation. There is
really no good reason why the I. A.
& T. r. r. should not some day be
as profitable as the Illinois Central.
The investment then is a good one
and the capitalist is in his own
light who does not take advantage

GAINESVILLE is again interested on
the subject of a railroad to Prince
ton. Cen, E. G. Gordon visited the
city recently and addressed a large
audience of the substantial bust
ness men of the place. AS spokes-
man of the Gordon syndicate he
submitted another proposition
which is regarded by many as a
decided Improvement on the-one
formerly proposed. AS the PROPOSE
ton with its details, is too long for
the space at our command this week
and expecting that the matter will
be presented to our people soon by
some of the speakers interested we
omit it. We feel deep interest in
the success of the movement, and
feel safe in saying that our people
will aid to the extent of their abil-
ity. Bring the road by Cadiz, and
our business men will take stock in
it. If Montgomery, our sister viii

not complain. Let us have the

The New South.

Mr.. Henry E. Bowen, of the New
York Indedendent, recently made
an extensive Southern tour, going
as far as Texas, visiting en- route the
principal cities in Virginia, North
and South Carolina, Florida, Geor-
gia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisi-
ana, Arkansas, Tennessee and Ken
lucky. His conclusion is that the
Southern States is no longer an un-
solved problem-that "new life is
swelling her veins, old customs and
prejudices are dying out, and strong
influences are at work which, at no
distant day, will bring her to the
front ranks of the producing and
manufacturing States of the IN
ion." Mr.. Bowen confesses that
the newspaper readers of the North
can have no adequate idea OF the
vastly altered condition of things in
the South since the war.

Mrs. Vanderbilt's Easter Ball ha

Mrs. Vanderbilt's Easter Ball has
been a subject of very general Cos
sip and discussion in the papers. A
lady-whose name is withheld
wrote TO Mrs. Vanderbilt asking
for an invitation to the ball. The
answer, through third person,
was very polite regret that Mrs.
Vanderbilt could not grant the de-
sired favor. This lady sent a sec
ond note to Mrs. Vanderbilt, in
which she said: 81 only wanted to
go the same as l would go to mu-
scum or any public place, simply to
see the house and the decorations.
l had no desire to attend the ball
for its own sake" Or words to that
effect.

TERMS sa.oo I'M ADVANCE.
A SHAME.

The Houseof Representatives will
find but few to condone its action
in defeating the bill providing for
the payment of the bonds held by
the Peabody Institute of Baltimore.
The passage of this bill had been
urged by nearly all the leading
papers of the State, of whatever pO-
litical shade, and was so meritori
Gus a measure that little doubt was
entertained of its adoption. Sim
pie gratitude, to say nothing of
honor and justice, demanded that
these bonds be paid in full and the
action which defeated the bill can
only be characterized as small and
niggardly.
Our immediate representative,
Hon. w. A. Miliken, was the
mover of the bill and we regret ex-
ceedingIy that his efforts to secure
its passage were unavailing. Col.
osiah Patterson, that distinguished
Memphis Statesman who eondeScel-
ded to become q member of the
present Legislature and who quoted
such nice poetry in support of the
railroad commission bill, has inn
mortalized himself in this matter.
He thought the bonds ought to be
paid in full, but considered himself
bound by the action of the caucus
to vote against the bill. The nicely
of Col. Patterson's conscience Is
touching, really affecting and al
most as beautiful as the lines that
adorned his railroad speech. We
confess our inability to understand
the conscience" that holds the ac-
ton of party caucus superior to
all sense of honor and justice, but
admitting it so, why did not
other Democratic members consider
themselves so bound? The record
seems to indicate that the Hon.
Josiah has been "wabbling on the
gudgeon" in this matter. Two
members questioned him concern
ing his former action in regard to
the pending bill but it had all en-
tirely escaped his memory.
The House went contrary to the
June platform in defeating this bill.
That documen! has heretofore been
its guide and shining light, and its
recent action is all the more dis
graceful because it is in violation of
the debt settlement which its men,
bers claim they were elected to
carry out. The action is indefensi-
BILE in any light. The full payment
of bonds, belonging to institutions
of learning in the State, is provided
for, and it is an exceedingly mar
row-minded and selfish policy that
discriminates against those SO held
out of the State. 1t is purely a
sentiment of gratitude that has
prompted the payment of Mrs.
Folks bonds and Tennessee certain
ly has abundant cause to be CRATE
full to her benefactor, George Pea
body. But it is useless to argue the
matter. All honest people know
those bonds ought to have been
paid and the action of the House in
not doing so is simply shame.

American Newspapers inn 1sss.

From the new edition of Messrs.
Geo. p. Rowell d Co.'S American
Newspaper Directory, which is now
in press, it appears that the newspa-
pers and periodicals of all kinds is-
sued in the United States and Terri
tories now reach the imposing total
of IL, 1876. This is an increase of
5S5 in twelve months. Taking the
States one by one, the newspaper
growth in some is very considerable.
The total in New York State, for
instance, is l, 399-a gain of 80 in the
past year. The increase in Penn
sylvania is 4S, the existing number
being 943. Nebraska's total grew
from 175 to POI, and Illinois from
800 to 904. A year ago Massachu-
sets had 420 papers now the num-
Der is 438. In Texas the new papers
outnulnbered the suspensions by 8,
and Ohio now has 1873 papers instead
of 692. The most remarkable
change has occurred in the Terrific
ries, in which the daily papers have
grown from 43 to 60, and the week.
lies from 1859 to 243-Dakota being
the chief area of activity. The
number of monthlies throuought
the country grew from $40 to 1904,
while the dailies leaped from 996 to
1902. The figures given above are
exclusive of Canada, which possesses
a total of COG. 1t is interesting to
note that the newly-settled regions
of the Canadian North West are
productive of newspapers as well as
of wheat, for the number of journals
issued in Manitoba was nearly
doubled during the year.
