OUR PROGRESS.

As stages are quickly abandoned with the
completion of railroads, so the huge drastic cath
artic pills, composed of crude and bulky medi-
clnes, are quickly abandoned with the intrsduc-
ton OF DIR. Pieree's Pleasant Purgative Pellets
which are sugar coated, and little larger than
mustard seeps, but composed of highly concen-
treted vegetable extracts. By druggists.

THE RAILROAD COXKLssIoN.

The indications at last point to
wards a conservative handling OF
the matter of railroad commission.
The chances seem far better than at
the beginning of the session for a
commission formed out Of good
sense and impartiality. General
sentiment is more in favor of eau
tious action in this matter, and it IL
being admitted that at best the sub
iect is full of difficulties of a delicate
kind.
The public now await the crea-
ton of this commission, and upon
the Legislature alone will rest the
blame il the commission fail To
work. In our Judgment the time
has not vet come. Besides, il should
be borne in mind that if the first
is found impracticable it will be
more difficult than ever to create
public sentiment thereafter favor
able TO another attempt. One thing
is certain it is never wise to go To
an extreme in anything, and 1t can
not be denied that calm judgment
and reflection have not always char
acterized the discussion of this sub
ject in and out Oh the Legislature.
IL is still not too late to postpone
action for "A year or two. We do
not doubt, in the least, that the in
tervening time will bring about, If
not the removal Of all the causes Of
complaint, at least clearer perceP-
ton of the evils ard n better esti
mate of the means of remedy than
exists at the present time.

THE PEABODY B0ADs.

NASHVILLE BaAMeE ]
In the beginning of the discus
sion of the bill to settle the State
debt. the Banner called attention 10
the fact that the Bate platform con-
tanned the following plank:
That we are ia favor OF paying in full
all bonds held on the first day of Jan
uary. 1882, by educational, charitable,
and literary Institutions.
We suggested that if the settle
ment was to be made in aceord with
the platform, there was no excuse
for limiting payment to bonds held
nv institutions. There is not q
paper in the State which has dis
puted our construction Indeed
there is scarcely one but has endors-
ed our view and urged a provision
for the Peabody Institution at Bal
timOre. AS of course, the AHeri-
can followed up our pertinent sug-
gestion with an able editorial advis-
ing the fudding of those bonds dol
lar for dollar. Even the World
could not resist the logic with which
we presented the case, and under
the inspiration of the moment, &C
knowledged that such construction
was alone feasible 1t said:
The trustees of the Peabody fund,
one of the MOBILES charities that ever
appealed to the heart OF man for foster
Ing and protection, holds about 300 of
Z Z. bonds of Tennessee as a portion q!
its investment. We think that the plain
import OF that clause Of the plat orm,
which calls for the immuni v IL educa-
ional and charitable institutions hold
ing Tennessee bInds from the operation
If the settlement 90 3 necessarily,
equitably and righteOusly excludes
these bonds fr m the reduction The
State Of Tennessee draws about $1,000
Der year from this fund more than the
interest on the bonds amounts TO, and
we are inclined To believe that the leg
islature will hold in their settlement
that the Peabody bonds are To be rated
AS bonds to be paid in full. as the State
debt proper
But the house didn't want to
wound the Governors pride, and
hence passed the caucus bill, and
the World is such a sycophant that
il has never since had the boldness
to speak out its honest conyictions.
The Senate would do well to heed
this prevailing public sentiment,

WASHINGTON, d. G. Mch. II, 1883.
To the Editor Of The Msrristown Gazette:
The Star Route trial has received
a new element of interest in the APP
pearance on the witness stand of
Ex-Assistant Postmaster General
Brady. lie got along very smooth,
ly in the hands of his own counsel,
but he is now on the rack of cross
examination, and il is expected that
he will have an opportunity to ex-'
plain how he became a millionaire
on q salary of about $4,000 year.
The Civil Service Commission
has secured rpoms in the City Hall
and viii soon be ready to examine
candidates for Government offices.
There will no doubt be many appli-
cants for examination, and, while
but few OF these can IL mediately
get Government positions, owing to
the limited number of vacancies, it
has been suggested that certificate
of proficiency from this board may
be of service to them in securing
clerical work elsewhere. There Is
no reason why such a certificate
should not be as valuable to the
holder as a diploma in the hands of
the average college graduate, - 1t
might not certify that he had q
smattering of Greek, Latin, and
Comic sections, but it ought to GER
tify that he has a ready acquain-
lance with the branches taught in
the higher grades of the common
schools. 1888
The recent pleasant weather has
given an impetus to public works
here. Giant steam dredges are &C
work on the Potomac fats. Wash
ington's Monument has resumed its
upward growth. One hundred and
fifty feet more are to be added to it's
already dizzy height, which will
make it the highest structure IN the
world.
Work is being pushed on the new
pension building; it will be an inn
mense structure,-a monument and
warning. A monument of the
war, of a nations gratitude, of the
zeal and trickery of pension agents.
It@Rill be warning to the people
of the United States for all time TO
avoid if possible war which costs
in pensions at the rate of 500, 000,-
600 per annum seventeen years af-
ter the last gun has been fred.
Various other improvements are
going on in different parts of the
city, not as rapidly as in the day of
Boss Shepherd, but what is lost in
speed is gained in permanence and
economy. Every citizen of the
United States has or should have an
interest in his country,s capital for
the maintenance and Improvement
of which he is taxed, and which I'M
like any other part of this country
except Alaska is governed directly
by Congress. .-s5. -.

TIE NEGRO MCPHERSON.
HIS SUPERVISION OF THE WHITE
SCHOOLS AND THE SENSE ON THE
PUBLIC WITH ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.

HIS SUPERVISION OF THE WHITE
SCHOOLS AND THE SENSE ON THE
PUBLIC WITH REdKKDTHEKEro.
A negro inspecting white schools
is q sight for the gods Yet such a
sight is the School Board offering
to the world here in Chattanooga,
the negro, Nickerson, having been
exercising personal supervision over
the schools for several days past.
If there is one kind of Office above
all others that the negro is unfit for,
il is those which involve a censor
ship on educational matters; and
when he is given authority over the
race of undisputed intellectual sup
eriority, the indignity-farce, it
might be called, but for the issues
ut stake-is complete.
OF course Nickerson's presence
and exercise of authority at the
white schools has aroused the indig-
nation of white men, regardless of
party affiliations. 1t does seem
that our Republican Board of Alder
men might be content with having
negroes in every other department
of the city government IL we
must have them in the School Board
however, let them confine their at
tention, in person at least, to the
negro schools.
The above startling squeal comes
TO us in the Chattanooga Democrat
It shows, if nothing else, how much
better backsight Is than foresight,
sometimes. When His Excellency
recommended the appointment of a
negro man as assistant State super
intendent of public instruction, The
GAZETTE was the only paper IN the
State that had the foresight or in
dependence TO raise its warning
voice against the blighting heresy.
Among all the gushing June-plat-
form Journals of the State, the Dem
Ocrdf alone raised its voice TO com
bat our position and sustain govern
or Bates suggestion. But the bird
came home TO roOst, and negro SUI
pervision of white schools is having
| its first practical test in our sister
CITY. with the results indicated in
the extract. 1t is an Obtuse mind,
indeed. that cannot foresee the ut
ter destruction of our already Lap:
gushing and almost lifeless school
system by carrying into effect gov
ernor Bates suggestion, but it Is an
iron clad cheek that can uphold his
recommendation in one breath and
denounce with the next, as the Dem
oerat does, Republican aldermen
for attempting to introduce only the
primary and lesser evils of Bate s
innovation in the management Of
our common schools.
