PARTIEs AND RAILROADS.

PARTIES AND RAILROADS.
We invite special attention to the
letter of "Obseryer" in our columns
to-day. It is the utterance of an
educated man who is fair-minded
and just, not of one who is learned
in books and nothing else. The APP
plication of law and the principles
of political economy to the practical
operation of public affairs, is exactly
what we most urgently need The
state should deal with railroads on
exactly the principles debating the
course ofprivate individuals, and on
ly on these rules can be based the
changes necessary in our organic
law. That the railroads have been
lavishly provided for, no one de-
MES; that they have likewise done
incalculabIe good to the state is
equally evident. The whole letter
treats of subject vitality important
to the people and specially interest
ing at this time. But the fact that
we have to deal with new questions,
new people and new interests
makes us desire new men, new blood
in the body polite and a new at
tempt at the practical solution of
old questions. 1t is true that the
party has several strong men, with
any one of whom strong assurances
of success might be felt. But there
is feeling in the state among such
men as our correspondent, that old
rules are not applicable to new con
ditions, and the feeling is daily gain
ing ground that with new issues
must arise men whose records are
square with the new necessities of
! public policy. The man who would
make a good governor in an agricul-
tural state such as Texas, would be
unfit to deal with the business issues
involved in the state of New York
! just so, the man whose honesty might
have done great service to Florida
in correcting the evils of financial
misrule so all-pervading some years
ago, might himself be unfit to meet
the questions now to be dealt with
by good administration in Florida.
Moreover there is a growing dis
trust of party pledges and party
platforms in the minds of all There
fore it is necessary that we should
nominate a man at Pensacola whose
recotd is a platform in itself, whose
life is pledge, anss whose capacity
is unquestioned. While the demo
Gratis have several such, we repeat
our opinion that George F. Drew is
| nOJ OuC OI GllCIl. II UllC convention
at Pensacola differs with us in this
opinion we shall accept the iudg-
ment as honestly as we did the nom
nation of Gen. Finley, but we claim
the right in all cases to the full ex-
preston of our views until the
mouth is closed by the fiat of a con-
vention and the hand takes up the
fight. We deny the right Of any
man to still the utterance Of private
opinion or to crack the party lash in
the wards and primaries. We pro-
tested against it in the election
which lost us the district, and were
rebuked by parties who were guilty
with us in the protest; we are ruled
out now by parties who suffered
equally with us, penalty of political
ostracism for private opinion so late
as the last election.
The mills of God grind slowly, but they
grind exceeding small,
! Though with patience he stands waiting,
| with exaCtneSs grinds he all"

Letter From Rev. J. w. CullOm.

1t has been a good while since I
wrote anything for the CHRONICLE,
and will risk a short letter now.
Since Conference / have been buster
than usual, gathering the parson-
age crop, holding prOtracted meet
ing and reading the election news.
The crop was good, the meeting
was good, and so was the news. AT
our recent conference in Nashville
l had most pleasant home, and it
was the first time that / ever had
an invitation to bring my whole
family. And there were more pull
pits filed by our brethren than on
any similar occasion since | have
known the conference.
Last Saturday night was great
time in Nashville, and l happened
to be there. I saw more people
than ever saw before at one gath
ering. Several Stones River boys
were swinging to my coat-tail,
whose mothers feel easier because /
was along. While dozen or so of
us Rutherford folks were sitting at
the table at Wagoner's, waiting to
get some supper, that clever gentle
man and old friend of mine, s. ID.
Power, came along and took forci-
BILE possession of me, carried me to
a more select portion of the restau-
rant, and complimented me with a
superb supper. l came back and
found the boys still waiting to be
waited on, but their turn came after
awhile. We took in the parade till
ten, then went to sleep and slept
till seven, took the train at nine,
filled three appointments and got
home this morning. These are fast
days. J. w. C.

The Century Magazine.

Public attention Is especially di-
rected to advertisements of the Gen.
fury Magazine and st. Nicholas,
which appear in this issue of the
CHRONICLE. The advertisements
should have appeared month ago,
but have been unavoidabIy kept
back.
The publication of a Sc ries of ar
ticled on the late war, written by
leading generals on both sides, was
begun in the November number of
the Century by a contribution from
General Beauregard on "The Battle
of Bull Rum" and will be continued
with papers from other generals on
similar topics during the next year.
This number of the magazine was
so popular that it has had to be
twice reprinted, and we learn from
the publishers that it is again out of
print and that third edition will
at once be put on the press, to be
ready about November 30th. The
demand for it has been a surprise to
the publishers, the continued sale
so long after issue being wholly
without precedent. The edition of
the December Century will be 16O,-
900, figures that have never before
been reached by any magazine pub
lished in the English language.

MR.. J. f. SHELTON, Of this city.
has made quite success in a small
venture at raising Brazilian flour
corn. His attention was attracted
to the corn by some biscuit made
from it, displayed at the Louisville
exposition last year. He bought
one ear, for which he paid one dol
lar, and planted a small patch in
his garden. The crop was partially
destroyed by stock before it ripen-
ed, but he nevertheless gathered 691
ears as the product of the one ear
planted. He has had one bushel of
the corn ground into -four, and the
experiment was eminently satisfac-
tory. The bushel Of corn weighed
62 pounds and the flour therefrOm
weighed 80 pounds with a reason
able quantity of seconds" 1t is
of a quality equal in iineness and
whiteness TO -four made from wheat
The biscuit and batter cakes made
from it were excellent. The corn
is very prolific; it will yield one
hundred bushels to the acre and
make so pounds of -four to the BUSH

The Methodist Entertainment.

To the Chronicle
We want to call the attention of
the public to the annual entertain
ment of the ladies of the Methodist
church. They propose serving din
ner and supper Monday, Tuesday
and Wednesday the 22nd, 23rd and
9th of Dec. What they give for
fifty cents is too well known for US
to add any comments, except that
1t is the universal verdict that the
Methodist ladies give a better din
ner and more of it, for fifty cents,
than can be gotten anywhere. We
hope our merchants will literally
patronize these ladies. Persons de-
string Christmas cake can have it
without the trouble of making it
themselves. The ladies who have
this department in charge, intend to
have al Udrieties of cake, that can
possibly be called for, and sold at
their usual liberal rates. There is
to be ii new feature, called the
apron department. There is TO be
all kinds and sizes of aprons, from
the Kitchen aprons to the dainty ar
ticle of lace and ribbon SO much
sought after by our charming young
ladies. The ladies who have this
department, bid us whisper to the
young gentlemen that these pretty
aprons are just the thing for Christ
mas presents to their sWeethearts, a
hint to the wise is sufficient! Now
last, hut not least. in these list of
attractions is n beautiful BjSque
dolls, beautifully dressed each doll
has a trosseau, consisting of three
full suits, hats, bonnets &c. These
dolls are to be dressed by different
ladies of the church, and have all
ready been given out, SO no pains
may be spared with them as there
are only u. We advise parents not
to miss this Opportunity'Of giving
their children such beautiful dolls.
Orders for either dolls or cakes can
be let at ROach's store with Miss
Kate Gillian, who will take pleas
ure i'm handing these orders to the
respective committees. Monday
night the 22nd, these ladies give a
new and beautiful entertainment
either at Elders Opera House orthe
Academy Hall, to which the public
are cordially invited to attend. We
will tell you at another time where
the ladies propose having this enter
tainment. We hope they will be
literally patronized. J. AND |.
