A Farce.

Nashville Banner.
If the Union and American are sin
cere, or they understand themselves
and each other, they both favor a rail
road commission with advisory pow
ers, and in this both are wrong.
An advisory commission could not
have the force and effect of a simple
legislative enactment, and would be
an expense to the people without pow
er to accomplish anything for them.
In fact, the "advice' of lot of pow
erless railroad commissioners would
not have near the influence of repre-
sentatives from merchants and ship
pers. The truth is that an "advisory
commission" could do but one SER
vice, and that to furnish living for
few worn out politicians at public
cost.
Heretofore we have thuOght that
the Union opposed such acommission
because of its utter uselessness, and
that the American opposed such a
commission because of its want of
power and force.
The Union has gone wrong in
agreeing to such farce, and the
American remains wrong in not
abandoning the commission foolish
ness altogether.
Every sensible man admits, even
the American admits, that a man.
datOry commission is impracticable
and ruinOns, and now to contend, for
apparent consistency, that such an
emasculated thing as an advisory
commission is necessary is simply
ridiculous.
The American and the Union hav-
ing reciprOcally surrendered their
views on the railroad commission
question the discussion between these
rival bosses on this subject has as.
sumed the nature of a screaming
farce.

by two very disastrous fires. On
Thursday night of last week the
livery stable of Lester Bros, corner
of Spruce and Broad streets, was de-

seventy horses. Woods saloon, adj

wall of the stable. About twenty of
the horses burned were the property
of the Lester Bros, the Others belong
ed to citizens and business men who
kept them there. Some of the horses
were blOOded stock and very valuable.
Several government mail wagons
were burned. The total loss by this
fire was about $4,000, and the insur-
ance $1,000.

Limited. "
Spirit of the Farm:

Spirit of the Farm:
The word "limited" often occurs
in advertisements of corporations,
partnerships, etc, in our newspapers,
and it is proper that every business
man should understand the meaning,
for under its innocent sound there
sometimes turks a great deal of Chi
canery, and while it is privilege to
the good man that he may preserve
his home, it is the rascaPs Opportun-
ity. The word means simply this:
All corporations, partnerships, ETC.,
have a capital. With the word Slim
tied" put in, it means the debts of
the concern will affect the amount of
capital subscribed alone. For in
stance, FIRM begins business in the
city. One member subscribes a GER
tain amount, while all the others are
equal partners. Ifthat firm "breaks"
the partner who subscribed limited
amount Is only responsible fol that
amount, while the Others are liable
for the whole amount Of indebted
ness.

unfortunate object lessons could not
be pointed out by our advocates of a
single convention. The Supreme
Court of California is VIGOROUSLY the
property in fee simple of the railroad
kings who run that State, and this is
possible because the railroads run the
political conventions. We have
already alluded to the cases of Ohio
and New York, and pointed out that
the Judiciary Of the first since 1853,
and of the other since lS49 have
rapidly deteriorated IN morals and
learning. New York has, in meas
ure, recovered from the effect of her
departure from the wise counsels of
her best men and purest statesmen,
by frightening the term, practically
making the judgeship a life Office !;
and still the Court of Appeals is a
body Of pigmies compared with its
predecessors a generation ago.
Instead of lOosening the moral re-
straints and removing the moral
safeguardsnow surrounding our bench
of final resort, we will do better to
double those securities of Justice.
Having practiced the two convention
plan for sixty or more years, why
should the Democracy abandon it
now? Are the young politicians who
advise this sacrilege wiser men and
safer patriots than the sages who
formed the two last constitutions, and
insisted that nominations as well as
elections of Judges be separated from
purely political bodies? The people
don't think so, as the political icOno-
clasts will presently learn.

The Circus.

Sells Bros great railroad shows
exhibited here last Monday, and was
a most agreeable surprise to all who
attended. Taken altogether it was
the best circus and menagerie we
have ever seen, and this is the gen.
eral opinion of all we have heard eX-
press themselves. The menagerie
contains many cages Of rare animals,
and the male and female hippopOta-
mi are wonderful curiosities, being
the only ones on exhibition in the
world. They are enormous animals,
weighing over a ton each. In the
circus every feature was good, there
was not poor performance through
out the entertainment. The riding,
tumbling, leaping and trapeze per-
formances were all unrivalled in eX-
cellence, and the bicycling by the
Stirk family was worth the admission
fee. 1t was generally remarked that
the immoral and unchaste features
usually attending circuses were con-
spicuous for their absence.
The show spent Sunday here, and
all who had dealings with the show
people were struck with their gentle
manly bearing and courteous man
ners.

The Iron Trade Business Indicator.

Toledo Blade.
There is no more hopeful sign Of a
bushes srevival than the reports of ac-
tivityin the iron industry. Each day
the telegraph brings welcome tidings
that one or more mills or iron or steel
manufacturing establishments has re-
sumed work in full time. Activity in
the iron trade has come to be the ac-
cepted indication of a trade revival;
it is the ground-swell of the advanc-
ing wave Of prosperity. The stocks
in store of various grades of manufac-
tured iron have become depleted, and
a demand has arisen. Orders have
been placed with the mills, and a
lOng-depressed industry begins to
revive. The long strike and lockout
is being overcome by the pressure of
orders demanding fulfillment. The
idle workmen in the mills not only
have employment, but the coal min
ers have more to do to supply the
increased demand for fuel by furnaces
and mills; the traffic of the railways
picks up; and so, in overwhelming
circles, the influence extends, until it
is felt in the most remote branches of
business. 1t has none Of the ephem-
eral quickness of a transitory boom,
but is an indication of a slow but GER
tain improvement in the trade of the
entire country.

Why Two Conventions ?

Chattanooga Times.
The chief argument in favor of two
State Conventions is found in the
Constitution of Tennessee. If the
trainers of that document, a great
majority of whom were Democrats,
didn't approve and propose to foster
the practice Ofmaintaining a judiciary
nOn-partizan in spirit and action, why
did it provide for separating the
Judicial from the political elections?
If separate elections are essential to
pure, untrammeled, non-partizan
courts, then so much the more are
separate conventions for the nomina-
ton ofjudges necessary. Making the
judges elective was a mistake; let us
not increase and aggravate the I'M
desirable consequences of the error
by converting every aspirant for the
bench into an active politician, which
invariably results from their popular
nomination, and electing them with
political candidates. Every State that
has permitted judicial nominations
and elections to be mixed with poll
tics and controlled by politicians in
their partizan capacity, has degraded
its judiciary almost beyond compre-
hension. The States of California,
Ohio and New York, have been cited
as of those nominating and electing
judges on a common ticket with gov
errors and legislators; and threemore
