Just after JET Davis had been cap

PROF.. C0LToNs DISMISSAL.


The dismissal of Prof. Henry E. Col
ton from his position as geologist of the
Department of Agriculture, Statistics
and Mines will be learned with regret
throughout the State, and will, it Is to
be feared, seriously impair the useful
ness of that bureau. We know not the
causes which led to his enforced retire.
ment. They must have been serious in
deed to justify such step on the part
of the Commissioner. With the excep-
ton of Col. y. B. Killebrew, the former
head or the department, no man in Ten
nessee has done half SO much as Prof.
Cotton to assist in, directing the atten-
tion of capitalists, home and foreign, to
its mineral and other resources. Not
only this, his labors and investigations
have advised owners of lands as to the
real value of their property, and pre-
vented in many cases its sacrifice to
spectators at q nominal price. His
less to the public service is one that
cannot fail to be felt as an actual and
positive misfortune.

1cQU1TrAL oFqHE STAR Ro0r

On Monday, 14th, the counsel for the
Government In the Star Route trial pre-
sented to the court twenty prayers, for
instructions, and the counsel for de-
Tense over a hundred. Mr.. Ker argued
the prayers for the Government, and
Mr.. Davidge for the defense. The de-
Tense declined to argue their own pleas.
On Tuesday, Judge Wylie delivered his
charge to the Jury, which was regarded
as very damaging against the defend
ants. On Thursday the jury agreed
and rendered a verdict of not guilty. 1t
Ia said that on the first ballot the jury
stood nine for acqnittal and three for
conviction. The verdict is not unex-
pected..D Although popular opinion
seemed TO be against the defendants.
the evidence wasRot sufficient to justi-
fly a conviction. IfGnothing else had
prevented n conviction, the prolonga-
ton of the trial was enough to mystify
the jury and ruin the prosecution. A
hung jury was generally regarded as
the probable outcome. The Govern
ment has spent large sum of money in
prosecuting the defendants in this case.
and spared no efforts to protect the
Treasury from the attacks of influential
contractors favored by derelict officials.
The crookedness brought out by this
investigation is doubtless insignificant
to that which lies beneath the surface.
Yet, says the american, nobody doubts
the existence of the conspiracy and the
preparation of gross frauds. The coun-
try has come at length to despair of
combating, in the courts at Washing
ton, the powerful Influence of money
accumulated by very questionable
methods, and in pools and schemes and
jobs of one kind and another, in which
so many persons of influence are inter
ested directly OF indirectly. The opera
tions of the whisky ring during the
Grant regime, and later notorious scan
dals, show how these robberies can be-
effected through official collision. When
Senators and Representatives and other
public servants acquire sudden and
large wealth in politics, without losing
caste in their party, and some of the of
tenders are even now setting up as Re-
publican leaders and apostles of civil
service reform, it would seem that the
only hope left is by complete change
of control of the affairs of Government.
This, fortunately, the people will have
a chance to accomplish next year.
