ANOTHER INJUNCTION CALLED FOR.

4NOW thai - 0S0 <xiicil,S IlduQ IS
In would it not be well to have an
injunction obtained to suppress the
Republican member Of the Garfield |
& Arthur club from publishing the
democratic "organ" at Naihville.
WHEN SHALL WE THREE MEET
AGAIN. FL
THE CRANK HAS BEEN SQUELCHED |
AND THE REPUBLICAN WILL BE.
Pulaski Citizen. i
A republican managing the party |
in Tennessee and a crank from
Louisville managing it at Washing
ton, the prospect for unity and vic |
tory this fall is as bright as the bot
tom of a camp-kettle.
SHALL THE PARTY SELL oUT9
Dresden Enterprise
Shall Mr.. Cherry and his money
control the Democratic party of
Tennessee? Is Mr.. Cherry able to
buy the Democrats like so many
sheep in the market? And is John
j. Vertrees going to make the deliv-
cry in the event the purchase is
made? These are pertinent ques-
| tons.
A RARE COMBINATION.
Dresden Enterprise.
How does this combination strike
the average Democrat? John j.
Vertrees, the go-as-you-please
Democrat, ID. B. Cooper, the bolter.
and w. III. Cherry, the dyed-in-
the-wool Republican, all helping
each other to get control of the
Nashville American. The combi-
nation is too incongrous and motley
to be actuated by any but sinister
motives.
A TENNESSEE VANDERBILT. 90
Dresden Enterprise.
Mr.. Cherry, the Republican and
owner and controller of the Nash
vile World, has keen eye to bus
mess when he dabbles in politics.
He now has monopoly of the
penitentiary labor, getting work
men (some of whom are skilled) at
a very low rate. If he can only get
the American and thus influence
the Democratic party to cut down
freight rates to suit him, there is
nothing to prevent Mr.. Cherry, the
Republican, from becoming reg
ular Tennessee Vanderbilt.

Everybody has seen a picture of
two asses with the Inscription
"When shall we three meet again?"
The point being the person looking
at it making one of the three. This
brings to mind that a good picture
could be made by taking out one of
the four legged animals in the pic
ture and putting In good likenesses
Judge Allen and Col. Vertrees, and
changing the inscription to read
"When shall these three meet
again ?" But then il would be
rough on the ass.
1.-THE POPULAR SIDE"
Pulaski Citizen.
Demagogy is at an open premium
in Tennessee. Even the chairman
! of the State Democratic Executive
Committee files bill to restrain Il
newspaper from taking the unpOp- |
uiar side of current questions and |
asks to be allowed to manage that |
paper SO he may make it advocate |
the popular side. The bill never
once alleges that the side he propos-
ed to take Is Tiqbt. That is the pol |
icy that pertains with the World |
and Vertrees wants the American
leveled to this plane.
IN CHANCERY.

many complications as the celebra-
ted case Jarndyce and Jarndyce.
With ID. B. Cooper and John j.
Vertrees on the one side, and Col.
Colyar en- the other, there will be a
plentiful amount of shrewdness in
the case. These gentlemen all are
reputed to be as the Greek Lysan.

SOMEWHAT ON ITS EAR.
Murfreesboro News.
The Nashville World has chad
the ear" of the Democratic Execu-
tive Committee. The Chairman Of
the Committee is endeavoring to
get the American by the ears. If
he succeeds, what will become of
the ear loaned to the World? Will
the Committee have both papers by
the ears, or will they have the Com
mittee by the ears, or will the
American have the World by the
ears, or the World have the Amer
lean by the ears, or will Mr.. Cher
ry have the whole crowd by the
ears?
A COMMON SENSE VIEW.
Correspondent Brownsville State).
Is it reasonable to suppose that
any three men in the State capable .
of regulating the complicated sche-
dule of charges and rates of even
one of its grand trunk railroads
could be hired for the bare support
afforded by the salary allowed the
Railroad Commission Why, if one ,
of those men had the experience ',
and talent for managing a single
he could command three
and four times 1000, now allowed !
him by law to manage all of the ,
eight grand trunk lines in the !.

THE REAL INIQUITY.
Camden Herald. |
The free trade organs should stop
talking about war tax until they
cease defending the imposition of
the war tax of the millions of mon {
ey collected annually by an army
of political agents under the OBJ Q
noxious internal revenue laws. ,
They ought to be consistent in this
matter. If they would advocate i
the repeal of the odiOuS internal f
revenue laws packed upon us as q
war measure, but continued during
the long years of peace, to the con-
fusion of trade and the oppression T
Of the people, to furnish pap for i
hangers-On, they could O
then consistently howl for free T
trade.
THAT'S ABOUT THE SIZE OF 1T.
