Legislation Against RaiIroaIs

Cour;cr-Ioarnall
Our people are growing restless
under the growth Of corporate pow
err, and are apt to be mIsIed in their
efforts at reform. What we need to
do is to remove all the restrictions
we have placed in the path Of compe-
tiGon, to annui all legislation favor
ing corporations, building up one
class at the expense Of another, of
comforting special and exclusive
privileges anywhere. This IS all that
is necessary. These three rcsolu-
tions Of Mr.. Holman are WORTH all
railroad commissions in America.
If legislatures or congress or com
missions are to fix rates, regulate
tolls, in effect, control the railroads,
we shall never he able to clear the
loLbies Of railroad agents. We need
to understand this clearly and delin-
itely. As soon as it is an accepted
fact that the management Of the rail-
roads is to pass from the hands Of
their owners, we will haYe consoli--
dated the corporate power of this
country as nothing else could do.
These great corporations are natur-
ally competitive; they are each striv-
ing for business and for popularity
with the travelling public and the
commercial world. Every new road
affects rates somewhere and calls for
a readjustment, and this means a re-
ducIion. This competitive power
acts silently and irresi5litly. It's
force is only limited by legislative
interference. Pooling does not des-
troy it; in fact, it is stronger today
and more certain in its effects than
before tho pools were formed. Pool
| ing made the railroad business profit
able, and this prosperity lea to the
construction Of two new east and
west trunk lines. The tendency Of
rates has been downward for twenty
years, not because Of a law which the
Legislature may suspend, but cannot
enact. Il IS ccmpcntion which has
accomplished this work, and the wise
legislator Will see that nothing is
dono TO impede its operation

The true economist on the farm
manes all that he cats at home, and
saves three prylts and transportation,
which he would have to pay if he
bought his meat, larl, molasses, etc,
from a dealer. lie raises fine stock
because it costs no more than COM
mon breeds. lie keeps his fences
up because 1t IS cheaper to repair
them in time than it is to build new
ones. He realizes that there is no
money to be made in raising cotton
and buying meat and bread. He
improves his land every year by di-
vcrsifcd crops, fcrtilizing, dItching,
etc. Tie puts in every day doing
something on tho farm, instead Of
"helFing the boy" in town or at the

The rofuudiug of the city debt is
going on with satisfactory rapidly.
1t is safe say that with the close of
the month every dollar Of city iudobt-
cdncss held in Memphis will DO refund
ell and the bulk of the old city's IL
abilities finally disposed Of. The strong
probability that new bond VIII
have certain value and be sought
fer and command a premium as an
investment while the value of an old
bond will depend on SO many contin-
gencles as to be nigh worthless as
an investment, are sufficient reason
why bondhOlders have shown such
promptitude in prcferring the new
TO the old. And while they are good
enough reasons now they will grow to
be still stronger reason Us time passes.
Should any bondholder fail to come
in before closing the book on the 1st

and it will be a lifelong regret.

Fred Douglass, the well known
colorcd leader was married in Wash
ington City, ID. C., last week, o a
young white lady, Miss Helen Pitts.
Douglass is at present Recorder Of
Deeds in the District, and Miss Pitts
had been a clerk, or copyist IN his
Office. He is 73 years Of age and
his wife is nearly 30, and is SAID to
be comcly in appearance. The mar
riago was the sensation Of the week.
Fred Douglass has always had the
respect eli all races, and has always
been regarded as a man Of intelI-
gcnce, and SO he was in his prime,
but in his Old age lie has been dupcd
into an alliance that can add nothing
to lis standing among his own ! e.
Pic and that forfei,s the respect Of
all white people The white woman
who would marry a colored man can
not elevate him morally or otherwise.

We are pleased to note that the
state press is giving some attention to
the useless expense Of the the fence
system in Tennessee, The Banner was
the first paper in the state, SO far as
we know, to make mention Of the
enormous tax imposed upon farmers
iii forcing them to build and keep in
repair enough fences to protect their
land and crops form the marauding
stock Of shiftlese neighbors. We have
heretofore given an estimate OF the
actual number Of acres lost to cultiya-
ton by being occupied with w.rm
fences, and also an idea Of the vast
amouns INVESTED III fencing in the state.

but ASSURE cur agricultural friends that
times would not be near so hard il
the were relieved from the taxation

Touching Jay Gould's Heart.

A little black-bearded man was
walking briskly up broadway yester-
day afternoon, when a shivcring
tramp who bad been lettering in
front of the Trinity Church, stepped
in front of him and said something
in Iow tone, The little man made
no reply, but stepped to one side and
continued his journey up town. The
beggar siouchrd after him, and said
in a louder tone than before: please,
cap, gi me a few cents for a bowl eff
soup" Even to this appeal the lit
tie i,tan paid no attention and would
doubtless have succeeded in escaping
from the importunato tramp, had he
not been stopped by friend who en-
gagged him in conversation.
The beggar crowded up as closely
as possible to the two men and began
n pitiful tale of distress. lie was
heard to say And everything 1
possessed went in Wall street jay
Gould and those fellows got It," The
little black bearded mans hand went
quickly down IL his pocket and
brought ont q coin, which was placed
on the dirty palm of the mendicapt
hand, with the words; There, now
60 away please" The fellow shutlled
a~av, evidently without knowing
that the little man who gave him
the money was Jay Gould himself

The Importance of the mechanic


Z ,ston Commercial Bulletinl
Each ensuir g day makes more
prominent the fact that we have
come upon the time when the me-
chan1c is master. We have crowded
professions and ill-flled trades. A
chance to fiji th5 position Of sub-assls-
tant clerk in wholesale house IS
eagerly grasped at by a hundred APP
plicants, though the wages paid is
scarcely more than chance ID LEARN
the business" Let a master work
man try to obtain an apprentice at
three times the salary offered the
clerk and bis applicants will be poor
alike in quantity and quality. A
skilled workman in any trade need
never want for hire; lie is eagerly
sought after by n hundred employ
crs; he is independents; the skill and
cunning Of his hand and eye are too
valuable to lose, and Must be paid
whether the products are slowly or
rapidly consumed. If business ceas-
es, the master hand is eagerly seized
by some rival house, which knows
and values the product Of his skill.
He who would crush down the OBJ
stacles to success in cur own days
must have as well as the wit to see
the crevice, the strength to deal the
blow. This is an age of the steam
