THE REAGAN BILL.

Much stress is put upon the passage
of the Reagan Bill through the lower
house of Congress, and it is urged as
am argument in favor of railroad
com mission in this State. The Reagan
bill is a national law providing against
improper discrimination by railroads
but hasn't any commission feature.
We have such law in this State, en-
acted in 1865. It is as follows:
Be it enacted, That any railroad
company receiving aid under this act
or the act that is intended to amend
or any amendment thereto, who shall
discriminate in their freight or pas
senger tariff against the business Of
any city, town or place in this State
or carry freight lower in one direc-
ton than another, or refuse to give
the citizens of this State equal facili-
ties for transporting their freight to or
from any point they may desire to or
from, with the citizens of any other
State. whether the act be committed
within this State or not, shall, upon
conviction, be fined in the sum of not
less than one thousand dollars, MOI
over five thousand dollars, for each
and every offense, the same to be col
lected rs other fines and forfeitures
are collected, one-half of the same tc
go TO the State, and the other half to
the party aggrieved.

CORRECTION NO. s.

The gist of the charges made by the
Shelbyville Gazette, Clarksville Chron.

receive Mr.. Randall ut the capitol; >
that he was not present in the matter
of entertaining a public guest" and

Nashville World.
1t is singularly strange that the
World can't speak of the CHRoNICLE
without in some way making direct
departure from facts. This is the third
time we have had occasion to inform
that journal that its statements con-
corning us were in no way warranted.
The CHRoEICLE has never made any
manner of charge" concerning Gov.
Bate in his connection with the Ran
dali reception. We only INDUCED in
Hypothetical comment, based on the
statement of the Nashville correspond
ent of the Courler-Journal. We were
careful TO give credit and say IF this
be true" In another paragraph in the
same paper we referred to some COM
plant made by the World that Gov.
Bate had not been treated with proper
courtesy. The CHRONICLE could have
made no charge" of this kind because
it had no representative in Nashville
mt the Randall reception. Nothing
that has appeared in this paper in that
regard could be tortured into a
charge"

TENNESSEE AT NEW ORLEANS.

Mr.. Warfield voted for and Mr..
Munford against the bill appropriating
$4,000 for the Tennessee exhibit at
New Orleans. =
The course of the former, according
to our way of thinking, was most COM
mendable. We have no patience with
the hide-bound penuriousness that eff
fleets some of our provincial states
men, and which they parade under the
false name of economy. Mr.. Num-
ford, no doubt, acted as he thought
best served the interest Of his constit-
uents. We accord honesty of purpose
to both gentlemen. 1t is only their
judgement that we criticise and we
are constrained TO say that Mr.. War
fields view of the matter was broader,
more advanced and more business
like than that OF his colleague.
The South has long languished in
poverty and ignorance because of this
spirit of public parsimony and the
ambition of her politicians to be styled
"the watch dog of the Treasury" At
the same time the States OF the North
and West have grown opulent and
powerful by a vigorous progressive
policy.
The awakening of the South from
this torpid state has been very marked
of late years, and the New Orleans
Exposition was projected as an exhibit
of It's newly acquired energy and
progress. 1t is humiliating fact that
at this, our own great show, gotten up
especially to demonstrate our boosted
Advancement, the States of the North
West have, so far, greatly outstripped
us in the beauty and extent of their
exhibitions.
Mr.. Wartield is emphatically right
in desiring that the great resources of
Tennessee be given a Etting advertise

COL. J. b. KlLLEBREw.


We publish elsewhere a comnnni-
cation to the Louisville Home and
Farm recommending Col. J, b. Kille-
brew Of this State as proper person
for the incoming administration to
put at the head of the Bureau of Agri-
culture. The suggestion is not new.
Col. Killebrew's superior fitness for
the place is very generally recognized
and he has been spoken of in that con-
nection by several prominent papers
The Office is at present filed by aquiet
old gentleman from New England
whose ideas OF farming are confined
to two acre truck patch, and under
whose control it has been a virtual
nudity. Under Col. Killebrew the
great agricultural interests of the
South and West would receive theil
proper attention. His fine admins
tration of a similar Office in this Stats
is proof OF his capability and his thor
ough knowledge of all subjects per
tanning to the duties of the position
has been shown by his writings
which have given him National rep
utation. 1t would be an excellent ap
pointment if Cleveland should Civ
the place to Col. Killebrew.

rHE NEw sEcRETARY OF sFAFE.


The wrangle i'm the Legislature over
the election Of State officers was
brought to a happy conclusion by a
Democratic caucus, Friday night, of O
kind that was agreeable to both Of the
disputing factions.
The party bosses who wanted TO car
ry thing; according to their cut and
dried schemes by enforcing the ma
jority rule, finally agreed that no NOM
ination should be made except by
two-thirds of the Democrats Of both
houses, and in this there was general
acquiescence.
The caucus thus formed nominated
Col. John Allison for Secretary of State
and he has since been elected to the
Office. Col Allison was born in Wash
ington county, Tenn, in 1S47: first
went to school at Boone's Greek Aead-
envy, three years before the war; serv-
ed the last year of the war in East
Tennessee and was with Morgan when
he was killed; went to Kings College
two years after the war, but did not
graduate; studied law under William
Henry Maxwell and got license in
1870 and has since then practiced in
Jonesboro. This is the first political
preferment, save service as member
of the State Executive Committee.
In speaking of him the Nashville
American says:
No more satisfactory assurance that
the policy of the Democratic majority
in the present General Assembly viii
be eminently conservative could be
afforded than in the nomination Of
Capt. John Allison for Secretary o.
State by Friday evenings caucus. The
organs have time and again announced
the determination of the party bosses
that Democrats in sympathy 9TH rail
road development were to take back
seat; that they were to be kept out o
the Legislature altogether, or If elected
to that body, would be without follow
ing or influence. What is the result
The most coveted prize is given TO {
candidate who has been strongly OPP
posed, from the first, TO a Railroad
Commission act, and who, in fact, ha:
been attorney several years for one o
the principal railroad corporations Q
the State. The Democratic majority il
not proscriptive, and declined Z
slaughter him in caucus at the demand
OF the party bosses because he had no

THE Nashville American quotes our
facetious assertion that Mr.. Munford
WAS placed on the committee on Mill
tary affairs because of his fine capacity
as caucus drill-master, and asks why
was he made chairman of the judiciary
committee, the most important posi-
ton in the House. The CHRONICLE
only criticises Mr.. Munford's political
course, and cOngratulases him on this
compliment to his legal ability.

A correspondent of the American
rightly criticises DIR. Kellys remark
in his lecture to the young ladies OF
DR.. Prices school that "Thackery saw
no good in man or woman; every
man was a scoundrel, every woman
untrue" The great novelist was true
to life in portraying no absolutely per-
feet characters, but it is safe to assert
that there is as large u proportion of
good men and women in Thackery's
books as are to be found in history.
He didn't paint models, but some o.
his ideals had more good in them
than is ordinarily found in mortals.

A "Reminiscences of Jackson.
ST T.nt1ic S.1aofofOr

The recent celebration of "St.
Jackson's Day" recalls an old Ten
nessee anecdote which has lain
perdu for years. When Jackson
was running for the Presidency the
Tennessee Democracy was reused to
the highest pitch OF enthusiasm
and the whole State Was hurrabing
for Jackson. For TIME political
excitement Olscurcd everything
else. \ bout this time the Baptists
in a suquestered mountain neigh
borhOod held revival, and among
the converts WAS full blOOded In
dian. The meeting was followed
by public inmeroiol in creek.
Religious feeling ran high, and each
convert gave some exprC ssion to
his or her emotion when raised
from the water. When the Indian
waded to be baptized he was visibly
affected. After being immersed he
waited just long enough to get the
water from his mouth; then, with
a shout like a war whoOp, he cried,
"Hooray for Gen, Jackson !"

Whether we agree with Mr.

speak or write on any subject oil
public interest with so great a GER.
tainty that everybody will want to
know what they say. In discussing
the question as to how far ministers
may properly go in politics,-which
he does in the NORTH AMERICAN
REVIEW for February,-the great
preacher shows himself to advan-
tage perhaps all the more because it
is a matter that touches him per-
sonally as well as protest. onally.
In the same number of the REVIEW
the question, "How shall the Presi-
dent be Elected ?'' is ably treated
by five happily chosen writer's, viz,
two United States Senators, Dawes
and Vance; a college president, f.
A. P. Barnard, OF Columbia;
New York lawyer, Roger A. Pryor;
and well-known journalist, Will
liam Purcell. The substantial
agreement of four of them on the
same point is significant, Another
notable article in this unusually
strong number is n review OF
Holiness Life of Emerson" by
the veteran historian George Ban

by Prof. C. A. Young on THEORIES
