THE NEW PAPER AT wAvERLY.

We are glad to add to our list oil
State exchanges The Humphreys
County News, new venture in jour-
nalism at Waverly. 1t is handsomely
printed nine column folio, edited
in clear, straightforward style that
evidences ability. That it starts with
popular approval is indicated by the
large amount of local advertisements
it contains, a rare thing with new pa
pers. 1t pins all of the Democratic
candidates to its masthead, emitting
only Messrs. Savage & Co, in regard
to whom it says:
We append no list of candidates for
railroad commissioners. We are of
the number that fail to see the relevan-
cy OF the question of a railway COM
mission to the principles of Democra-
cy and do not regard it other than an
economic question. But be that as it
may, we are opposed to the thing,
scratch it, as THE ORGAN, the World,
it seems, is doing the Democratic
nominees for legislative positions in
Davidson county. As brother Judd,
Democratic Elector for this district
says: This thing of railroad COM
mission is simply used as a political
pabulum by set of political fossils
to stir up the prejudices of the
people knowing that they can only get
Office ty such means instead of relying
upon their merits"

"Turn the Rascals out. f"

The Morristown Gazette, a Demo
cratic paper that supported Bate for
Governor two years ago, and has
always been one of the leading or
gans of the party in East Tennessee,
boldly says:
Let the opponents of the railroad
commission everywhere vote for
and elect the Republican commiss-
Ion candidates, and rest assured
that among the first acts of the over.
whelming Democratic legislature
which will come in January will be
the passage of an act repeating the
commission law, in order to turn
the rascals out" Mark the predic-
ton; if the Republican commission
is elected the law will drop into
oblivion with the ker-chug of q
lump of lead in still water. And
that's where the mischieyous, ruin
Gus measure ought to be buried.

We have before had occasion 10 re-
mark that Clarks,illes hope for future
greatness lies in her becoming man.
ufacturing town.. We are of the same
opinion still, and we want to keep the
TACT before the public
GAINESVILLE is growing in business
importance and may reasonably hope
for more improvement i'm that direc-
ton. But Ii is nevertheless fact that
her trade limit is too circumscribed
for her ever to become a commercial
centre. Nashville, Memphis, Paducah.
Evansville and Louisville make a cor
don of large towns whose claims to the
trade of their adjacent territory Clarks-
vile cannot expect to break down.
But GAINESVILLE can become a big
manufacturing town, and all that is
needed to that end is the completion
OF the I. A. & T. railroad, and the
requisite pluck and enterprise on the
part OF her citizens. Of course SO de-
sired result cannot be accomplished
in day and will not come of its own
calling, but beginning can be made
and the proper perseverance viii bring
the happy contamination.
1t would be useless that we should
point to the rapid growth OF Southern
towns that have embarked in manu-
featuring to support what we have
said. 1t is sufficient to assert that the
natural advantages of GAINESVILLE are
equal to any of these towns. It's prox-
unity to coal and iron and its river
transportation give it all the natural
advantages that could be desired. More
railroad facilities are needed and are
being acquired by the building of the
]. A. & T. route.
We need factories in GAINESVILLE,
not only to increase the importance of
the city, but to diversity industries
and afford home market for farm
produce. This section of country is
too exclusively agricultural and can't
prosper as it should do while that is
the case. GAINESVILLE should afford a
market TO the farmers of the surround
ing country for something else besides
their wheat and tobacco.
A better home market is needed for
the cereals throughout the Union. The
large surplus of wheat raised this year
proves that fact. 1t is therefore tie
increase OF the manufacturing class
that is desired and not that of the
farming class. Our farm products are
already much greater than we can
consume and export and we need
better home market. ~
We will continue to urge it on the
attention of GAINESVILLE capitalists, and
our citizens generally, that factory
building is the great dissideratum for
the advancement of this city and Sec
ton, and we hope they will put forth
some efforts in that direction.

THE following was dispatched as
financial news from New York, and
could not have been intended for po-
litical effect. We call it to the atten-
ton of those of our readers who think
a railroad commission is blessing:
The Brunswick and Western Road
was purchased at foreclosure sale by
strong parties here and in Frankfort
on-the-Main, with the intention and
agreement of extending it Westward;
but upon careful investigation in the
railroad laws of Georgia and its effect
upon railroad property they abandon
ed the scheme, and have been endeav-
Oring for many months to make some
other disposal of the property or ar
range for its being operated in con-
nection with other roads.

A WRITER in the American Journal
list, a paper which, from its nature, is
compelled to be strictly independent
in politics, has the following to say in
regard to the platforms adopted by the
two great parties:
But study both platforms. They are
alike in all essentials. The tariff ques-
ton, the only really live political issue
about which thinking men can differ
to-day, might as well have been ex-
pounded by Henry Watterson for the
Republicans, and Zach. Chandler for
the Democrats as not. They remind
one of Mr.. Lincoln's unblushing joke
when he apologized to the young lady
for drinking, by mistake, out of her
glass instead of his own, they are as
like as two peas. No man can distin-
guish any salient point of difference
between them.

THE candidates for Governor
have finished their- canvass in East
Tennessee and are now speaking in
the middle division of the State,
beginning at Franklin Monday.
From the conflicting reports of the
speeches made it is difficult to come
at the truth, but it is safe to say
that Judge Reid has fallen far be-
low expectation and is no match
for Gov. Bate on the stump. He is
not a trained politician as his COM
petitor is and founders badly when
forced to make impromptu speech
es. Political discussion is new to
him and he makes poor impress
ion on his audiences. He is not
likely to decrease the Democratic
majority anywhere outside of Da-
wilson county. There personal
popularity will win him some votes
from those who differ with him in
politics.

Senator Howell E. Jackson con-
strues the Democratic platform to
mean: Protection to American
industry and labor. and the rule
upon which that protection is to be
measured and adjusted is just, sound
and wise. There never will be any
permanent success for Democracy
until this doctrine and policy is rec
ognized as the sound principle of
tariff taxation"

Mulligan Letters,

The New York Times has given
the hitherto unpublished Mulligan
letters to the public. The Times
commended that someOf these letters,
more damaging to Blaine than those
that have been 40 much talked of,
had never been in print. The Sun
and the Tribune defied the Times
to produce them and it has done so.
This is what the Cincinnati Post
lind. } says of them
These additional letters forever
must set at rest this controversy.
They completely prove that Jas. q.
Blaine was corrupt public official (;
that he led the way to his own cor
ruption that he was hoggish in his
demands of corruption price that
he betrayed his most intimate
friends for private gain; that he
became a groveling beggar before
those whom he had forced to cor
rupt him; that he subsequently,
committed perjury i'm denying his
guilt before an investigation COM
mittee, and that he has never re-
pented of the immortality of the
transaction, but has often regretted
its political effects.

THE following paragraph from the
Memphis Avalanche is full of the pun
gent truth which characterizes all "the

If Tennessee had as many miles of
railway as Illinois, Memphis would be
a city of over 100000 inhabitants and
the population of the State would be
over 100000. But our ox-team states
men must die off before the day of
great railway development.
GAINESVILLE would prosper in the
same proportion as Memphis.
