Roads Have Not exceeded Their Powers

Certain papers are constantly as
sorting that twenty States have Rail-
road Commissions, and, therefore,
Tennessee must have one. They don't
state that only two or three of them
are mandatory, and that the States, in
chartering them, retained the power
to regulate their charges. Still less do
they suppress the fact that no Ten
nessee road has ever gone beyond
its chartered powers. And above all,
they don't state that none of them
have such head to it as Savage, ut
terly unfit, by training or temper, for
the discharge OF its duties without pas
sion and in reason.

The Present Commission.
Bolivar Bulletin

No thinking man in Tennessee is in
favor of making war upon the rail-
roads of the State, or of throwing OBJ
stacles in the way of building new
ones. The present commission was
constituted by the proper authority
whether constitutional or not is to be
decided-and is entitled to respect,
but when the courts are through with
it, it will be time enough to make a
Question of il.

should be carefully studied by every
intelligent Democrat. Suppose for in
stance some of these rabid regulators
had Tennessee railroad stocks upon
which they had received no dividend
for years past, would they not, in all
probability, change their tunes? We
think they would.

The Folly of the Warfare on the

The Nashville Convention showed
its lack of wisdom by incorporating in
its platform a Railroad Commission
plank. Railroads must be regulated,
but the commission idea is all wrong.
General laws offer the only practical
solution of the question.

1t would be more just in the State of
Tennessee to pension Savage, Turley
and Gordon than to pay thema salary,
which is drawn out of the pockets of
the people, to act as Railroad Com
missioneTs. The constitutionality of
the Commission is now in the
Supreme Court, and will proba-
bly, remain there some time, still the
Treasury is being depleted by these
suckers who draw a large salary
for no earthly good. We have not
placed the Commissioners names
at our mast head, nor do we intend to.
1t is a robbery of the money extorted
from our people for no earthly good,
and we viii notsupport such measures,
no matter where they originate. Ii
the railroads were inclined to Cypress
the people of the State we should be
for any just measure to prevent the
same, but we cannot find that a parti-
Gle of benefit has ever resulted in the
commission, and we predict the day
after their selection the act creating
them will be declared void, and the
only monument left to their memory
will be a depletion of the State Treas
ury TO the tune of several thousand
dollars.

Irnpolitic and Unwise.
Brownsville States and Bee.

We sincerely regret to see an occa-
sional effort upon the part of few
men to renew the strife between the
railroads and the people. Such a
course is alike unjust, impolitic and
unwise. There might be some ground
for Just complaint if the roads were
growing rich, and the people might
well cry out monopoly" grinding
corporations, = etc., etc. But such
not the case. They, are not growing
rich by any means. The opposite of
this is true. They are struggling for a
bare existence. We say, therefore,
let this agitation cease. More than at
any period in her history does Ten
nessee need more railroads. Our own
people in Haywood and adjacent
counties want more railroads. The re-.
cent public meetings and conferences
amply attest this fact. All parts of
ths State are in the same humor.
Why, then, this continued effort to
array the people against the roads?
We can never get them if it is made
to appear that the people are enemies
Of such institutions. The people are
not enemies, but friends of railroads,
and the politician who reckons other
wise will soon discover his mistake.

The People Unwilling to Experiment
Further.
ShelbyyilIe Gazette

That the attempt of one or two
papers to revive the railway COM
mission scheme will fail, we have not
shadow of doubt. The present
board has done nothing for the people
but draw good salary. The people
have not been benefited and the
courts so far have declared the
law unconstitutional and void.
The people will be unwilling to
experiment further, until the courts
of final resort say what may be legally
done. Three Offices, with good sala-
ries for three broken down politicians,
paid for doing nothing, may sound
very well to a few politicians, but it
won't go down with the people, besides
the State needs more railroads, which
can never be secured with hostile leg
islation against those we now have.

Phenomenal MILK Production.

Prof. L. b. Arnold, ia the New
York Times, discusses the future pos.
sibilities of milk and butter produc-
ton as follows:
1t is reported that Jamaica, a three
years old Holstein heifer three months
in milk, has recently given the pheno-
menal yield of 112 pounds and 2
ounces of milk in one day, and 2. 102
pounds and ii ounces in twenty-one
days, her milk making 26 pounds and
ounces Of unsalted butter in week.
Few people will be likely to give
ready assent to this statement, though
it comes with an air of truthfulness.
It may, or may not, be true. A little
time will decide its correctness; but
whether true or not it is right TO line
with the progress which has been
steadily going on in domestic animals
and ought not to be considered impos-
sible. a greater result than has be-
fore been attained is no evidence of
impossibllity. The end of progress in
the possible development of domestic
ANIMALS has not only not been
reached, but is evidently yet a great
way off.
To me it would seem an easier task
to reach 1875 pounds of milk in day
by development of Dutch cows, or
1000 pounds of butter in a year by
development of Channel Island cows,
than to produce a two.minute gait in
trotting speed, and yet such a gait is
generally anticipated by those who
have kept track of the progress of
trotting speed during the last fifty
years The communication of four
pounds of fat day on IA Berkshire
pig, or the production of 200 eggs in
a year by domestic fowls, is as much a
phenomenon as ll2 pounds of milk
day by a COW and as wide a deviation
from native habits. 1t may be well
to inquire into the actuality Of the
claim made for Jamaica before giving
credence, but it would be idle to set
it down without inquiry as lmpossi-
BILE. A systematic course of treat
ment for developing the powers OF
the bovine mammary glands has but
recently been entered upon, and their
capabilities are as yet but little de
veloped and hence 1t is safe TO pre-
dict that still greater results than any
yet claimed will be produced by con
tinued development.

Don't Worry About Yourself.

To retain or recover health, persons
should be relieved from anxiety con-
corning disease. The mind has power
over the body-for person to think
he has a disease will often produce
that disease. This we see affected
when the mind is extensively concen-
trated upon the disease of another.
We have seen a person sea-sick in an
ticipation Of voyage, before reaching
the vessel. We have known people
to die of cancer in the stomach, or
other mortal diseases. A blind folded
man slightly pricked in the arm, has
tainted and died from believing he
was bleeding to death. Therefore,
persons, to remain well, should be
cheerful and happy and sick persons
should have their minds diverted as
much as possible. It's by their faith
that they die AS man thinketh. so
is he. If he wills not to die, he can
often live in spite of disease; and if
he has little or no attachment to life,
he will slip away as easily as child
will fall asleep. Men live by their
minds as we'll as by their bodies.
Their bodies have no life of them
selves; they are only receptaclss of
life-tenements for their minds, and
the will has much to do in continu-
ing the physical occupancy or giving

Clara d. Davidson says in the

The Big and little Cattle. Men

In response to an inquiry by con
gress, secretary Teller has submitted
report from the United States Sur
veyor of the district comprising
northwestern Nebraska. Individuals
and companies having large herds of
cattle in that remote region have
fenced in immense tracts of land, so
arranging and combining their oper-
atoms as To inclose the chief water
courses, and fencing out, or fencing
in, the ranches and pastures of the
smaller owners of stock. The latter
are literally frozen out and compel
led te sell their animals for what the
cattle kings choose to pay them. 1t
is useless for them to attempt tS move
to other localities, for the same state
of things will be found there. These
trespassers are thus keeping out of oc-
cupation vast areas that would other
wise be soon settled up by large num-
Der of thelving citizens, beginners with
limited means. The same or other
parties are stripping the wooded
tracts of the timber wanted for the
adjacent regions, without apparent
interference from the proper authori-
ties II is the duty of congress to
take instant measures to put an end
TO this state of things.
