A Chain of Narrow Guage Roads that
Promises Great Results.
Correspondence. OF the Knoxville Tenn. ChrOniclel
As the different railway projects CEN
tering at Knoxville have been quite
generally discussed, beg the privilege
OF callingsthe attention Of your readers
to new projection paper that may at
some future date be an important link
IN hnOxV1lle's transportation interests.
Few are aware of the Importance the
narr0w-guage system has assumed in
the North and West, whether of good or
bad report, Is question of time and de-
VelOpment.
Boston capital seems to have the credit
of encouraging these enterprises.
A narrOW-guage known as the Toledo,
Cincinnati q st. Louis Railway Com
pany, have constructed a line westward
from Toledo, branching off at DelphOs,
ONO, TO Dayton and Cincinnati, and at
Dayton southeast into the Hooking
Valley coal fields, having a terminus at
lrontOn, on the Ohio river, near Ports
mouth.
This line will be completed to st.
Louis during the coming year. The
Texas and st. Louis, over $50 miles in
length, will be completed in short
time, having only only 40 miles of track
to lay. Beginning at DeIphOs. Ohio
another line is being rapidly construct
ed to Cleveland, Ohio. A line from
Cleveland, Ohio, known as the COnnOt-
ton valley Railway, has been completed
INTO the Hooking Valley coal field, 13C
miles south from that city. The lines
mentioned are main lines, while branch
es have been run out from different
points.
The proposed Georgia & Ohio is to

main lines mentioned, running south

Republican papers are hugging the
delusion that the Democracy are going
to split on the PendletOn bill. We adj
wise them not to bank on any such capi-
tai. The Democracy are not going to
make fools Of themselves because of a
slight difference in opinion in regard to
the details of bill intended to put a
stop to Republican blackmailing and
dishonesty. There are some good fea-
lures in tho bill and some that are not
so good. The latter will be corrected as
soon as the Democratic Congress meets.

1T strikes us that there is no reason
for criticising the PendletOn bill on the
In Office. A careful inspection of The
measure shows no such provision. Under
the Constitution, the President has a
right to make removals as often as he
sees fit, and any attempt to deny or limit
this right by statute would fail to stand
the constitutional test. Life tenure of
office would mean a retired civil list,
and that is thing which the people of
this country will never tolerate.-Co-

# You Want a Kiss, Why, Take Il.

There's jolly Saxon proverb,
That is pretty much like this:
That man is half in heaven
When he has woman's kiss.
But there's danger in delaying,
And the sweetness may foTsake it
So tell you, bashful lover.
II you want kiss, why, take it.
Never let another fellow
Steal march on you in this;
Never let laughing maiden
See you spelling for kiss;
There's a royal way TO kissing,
And the Jolly ones who make Ii
Have a motto that Is winning
Ifyou want q kiss, why, take II.
Any fool may face cannon
Anybody wear a crown;
But a man must win q woman
Ifhe'd have her for his own.
Would you have the golden apple,
You must find the tree and skaEe II;
II the thing is worth the having,
And you want the kiss, why, take II.
Who would burn upon desert
With forest smiling by?
Who would give his sunny summer
For bleak and wiutry sky?
Oh! tell you there is magic,
And you cannot, cannot break It;
For the sweetest part OF loving
Is TO want a kiss, and take IT.
