THE PRIVILEGE TAN.

The movement for the repeal of the
merchants privilege tax, begun by the
business men of GAINESVILLE last year,
is taking shape before the Legislature
and promises to bear fruit. Petitions
have been pouring in from all over
the State asking that the unjust tax be
removed, and law will doubtless be
passed responding to the popular
clamor.
This tax is not burdensOme to the
merchants alone, on whom it is direct
ly imposed, but is paid in great de
gree by the public at large. The
merchants, of course, count the tax in
computing the cost of their goods
and get large portion of it back in
the profit made.
A prominent merchant of this city
recently called our attention to a gross
injustice that the privilege tax works
on GAINESVILLE merchants and those of
other Tennessee towns. He said there
was no such tax in Kentucky, from
whence GAINESVILLE draws large por
ton OF her trade, and Hopkinsville
merchants on that account have de
cided advantage over those of this city,
We hope that our Representatives
will give their earnest attention to this
matter and see that the merchants
privilege tax is wiped out.

At the November election MANY
democrats in this section voted for ahe
democratic candidates, because they
had always voted straight and did not
want to scratch. Others, while oppos-
ing the law, said if we had to have
commissioners they preferred demo-
Gratis to republicans; hence they voted
for Savage and others; while many
others were Indifferent, and just voted
the democratic ticket without any
questions, and had the ticket been
Railroad Commissioners" or mo
Railroad Commissioners" the COM
mission would have been defeated.
The people, save a few demagogues,
are friends to the railroads, and the
railroad officials and employees are,
with few exceptions, friends of the
people; in fact, are citizens of our
state and county, pay taxes, spend
their money with us, and are entitled
to equal rights and protection with all
other citizens and corporations And
while we believe unjust discrimina-
ton should be punished, and the reg
ulation of railroad fees and charges
perhaps may need the assistance of a
state or national commission, the pres
ent legislature would, in our opinion,
reflect the will of the voters of Ten
,nessee by repeating the present law,
and letting the matter rest awhile at
least.

LAWYERS As EDITORS.

Mr.. John j. Vertrees, agent is nos
ing around among the lawyers of the
state to find an editor for the Ameri-
can when Mr. Cherry shall come into
possession of his own.
So far as we have heard his search
has not been rewarded with success ;
the legal lights are loathe to give up
their profession for the dubious field
of journalism.
We think Mr.. Vertrees makes a
mistake in this regard; a good lawyer
who can write a very readable article
occasionally is not necessarily a good
editor. The fact is, no man whose
mind has been trained i'll one groove
of thought can succeed in newspaper
work. The editor of a daily paper
needs something besides the sound
Judgment and business sense that
characterizes the successful lawyer.
He must have literary acumen, "a
thing rarely found in the lawyer,) and
a wide range of information.
The man who has had time to mas
ter the law thoroughly and give proper
attention to his practice, has had little
leisure for the requirement of that
general knowledge necessary in the
make up of finished editor. In fact,
the logical turn of lawyers training
leads him to ignore as trivial the light
er study of miscellaneous literature.
OF course there are exceptions to
ibis rule as to all others. For per-
sonal example near home, Col. \. 5.
Colyar may be cited. But Col. Colyar
is man of rare faculties and has
broader attainments outside of his pro-
fession than nine lawyers out OF ten,
and he has been ably seconded by
trained journalists. Ii statistics could
be taken on the subject they would
doubtless lead to the revelation that
the majority of lawyers who have
followed their calling until middle life
and then undertaken to show the
world how a newspaper ought to be
run, didn't succeed in the manner they
expected

EYARTS' SPLEEN.

Hon. VIM. NJ. Evarts, the newly
elected Senator from New York. made
a speech before the Union League
Club recently, in which he took occa-
sion to spit great deal OF venom at
the South and to declare that the sue.
cess of the Democracy "brings us once
more to the position of affairs and
complexion of sections us we found
them in 1860"
OF course Mr. Evarts knew that this
was not in any sense true. He was
not trying to deliver himself OF an
honest utterance. He was simply car
rying out the programme of his party
10y making a strong and final appeal to
those prejudices on which it has
based a posthumous existence for
twenty years.
Mr.. Evarts is Il man who stands high
in the councils of the Republican par
ty and is very generally spoken of as
Its presidential candidate four years
hence. His speech, therefore, may be
taken as indicating its agreed policy,
and in that light, is the best evidence
OF its moribund condition. A party
that must, per force, appeal to pas
sions, after lapse of twenty years
cooling time, is sadly in want of mate
rial and makes poor show of princi-
pies. ClevelandIs administration and
the conservative conduct of the South
will form coat of mail for the Dem
ocracy on which such shafts as these
will fall harmless.
Such speeches as Mr. Evarts' viii be
certain to keep the South solid and
too freely INDUCED in, must produce
nausea among the more sensible and
more patriotic of Northern Republi-

ATTENTION, FARMERS.


There il one idea in connection with
the railroad commission question that
especially call to the attention OF
our farmer readers. 1t is this: What
they want is cheap through rates.
They must have cheap transportation
to seaboard markets for their tobacco
crop or the price of the staple will
greatly deteriorate. They must have
low rates on the food, clothing, articles
of household use and farming nipple
ments that are brought here from a
distance or such things will come to
them very dearly.
Now the commission bill before the
legislature provides that no more shall
be charged for a short haul than for a
long haul That IS. that the charge on
goods brought from Nashville to
GAINESVILLE shall be in the same pro
portion according to distance as the
charge on goods from New York to
GAINESVILLE
The result of this will be to raise
the through rates as much as the local
rates are reduced, and it is easy to see
what hardship it win work on the
people who pay freights.
The amount of shipping between
GAINESVILLE and Nashville, or between
any two points in Tennessee, is a small
matter compared with the large amount
OF through freight carried out of and
brought into the State.
No railroad in the State now fixes
its local tariffs as high as its charter
allows, but as sure as commission of
incompetent cranks gets to fooling
with these local rates, through rates
will have to be put up, and the people
will suffer in consequence.
1t win cause a decline in the price
of tobacco, wheat, cotton and all pro-
duce shipped out OF the State and a
rise in all kinds of merchandise
brought into its borders.
Remember this, dear farmers, when
the demagogues come round and
talk to you about grinding monopo-
lies"

The News supported the entire
ticket in the last campaign, but we are
Of the opinion if the commission plan
is to prevail, that Democrats as com
missioners are preferable to Republi-
cans, but is a commission advisable or
necessary? Looking at the returns of
the November election we find twenty
thousand Democrats who repudiated
the commission theory and it is safe
to say as many more would have done
likewise but for their fealty to party
platform and party candidates. That
twenty thousand Democrats should
have scratched the commission is in
dubitable proof that the same was ex-
ceedingly odious. Nothing but this
would have driven Democrats from its
support. In view of this, is it wise to
renew the fight on railroads? We are
as clearly of the opinion that wise
craftsmanship and party policy die
tates another course. This stumbling
block to party unity should be re-
moved.

BUSINESS MEN Don't wANTIT.
West tennessee Wing.


Say what we may, nothing was ever
more clearly demonstrated than the
fact that the business men who have
dealings with railroads want no com
mission. An analysis of the vote will
show that the shippers in all of the
cities and railroad towns almost to a
man refused to endorse the commiss-
ion by their votes in its favor-they
indeed we're the men who, looking to
the material prosperity Of the State
and further railroad Development so
much needed in Tennessee, walked to
the polls and voted againsta oommiss-
ion. If they are satisfied, why should
politics complain? The idea of war
ring on railroads by putting them into
the hands of politicians to be manipu-
lated in the interest Of this party or
that, or perhaps to be used to build up
a business of one faction at the ex-
