The Tennessee Democracy.
Courier-JOurnal.


After the State debt question, the
Democratic party in Tennessee has
been most disturbed and divided by
the bill to establish Railroad Com
mission. These divisions have had a
serious effect on the party majority,
and at times they have placed the State
in jeopardy. Fortunately the debt is
no longer a disturbing element, and
the prospects now are that the railroad
question will also be eliminated from
politics.
The bill establishing the commiss-
ion has been repealed by decided ma
jorities in the Senate and in the House.
1t awaits the signature OF the Gov
ernor
There seems to be little doubt that
it is the wish of the people of that
State to have this institution abolished.
1t has only served to injure the indus
trial interests of the State and to re-
tard its Development, The question
was fairly presented to the people at
the last election. Both parties NOM
mated Commissioners, but it WAS un-
derstood that vote for the Republi-
can candidates wits vote for a repeal
of the law, and that, if elected, they
would not serve. In i Democratic
State, with natural objection one has to
abandon party nominees, the Demo
cratic Commissioners we're defeated,
though the Democratic nominee for
Governor was elected.
The vote was plainly an instruction
to the Legislature to repeal the law,
and in obedience to these instructions
the law has been repealed. There
would seem to be little reason to
doubt that the Governor will sign the
bill, considering all the circumstances.
The time has come for the party in
Tennessee to unite. and present an
unassailable line TO the enemy. The
Republicans count with some conf
dence on carrying Tennessee in the
near future. but if the party can be
united, If all cause OF discord can be
removed, there need be no fear OF
Republican ascendaney in the Nolun-
teer State. With the State debt-ques-
ton settled and the commission abol-
ished, Tennessee would soon roll up q
Democratic majority of 40000

The Revenue Bill.

We notice in Wednesdays Banner
that the Trousdale bill TO provide
revenue for the State and counties
thereof" passed the House on that day.
But few changes have been made, the
State tax being the same rs before.
County Courts are authorized to
levy a tax not exceeding three-fourths
of the State tax, in addition to the tax
es for general county purposes; they
may levy tax sufficient for public
roads, for schools, and tOpay principal
and interest on existing debts, and levy
taxes for ordinary purposes on mer-
chants and privileges not exceeding
three fourths of the rate of State taxa
ton on merchants and privileges, and
no more"
Heretofore the counties were au-
thorized to levy tax not exceeding
the State tax, exclusive of the tax lev
Jed for roads, schools, and interest on
county debts; and also the same on
privileges that the State levied. The
new law will cause one-fourth less to
be levied provided the counties go
to the Emit under the old law. The
ad valorem tax on capital invested is
the same as before. The rate of taxa
ton on privileges has been changed
some but very little and will he about
the same as before

that the prisoners are well-fed and not

Bellamy and the Morrows.

Last Wednesday Sheriff Collier went
to Nashville for the purpose of bring
ing Ransom and William Morrow and
DIR. Bethany back to GAINESVILLE. He
requested Sheriff Moore, of Davidson
county, to deliver them to him, and
Moore refused, SAYING he "wonld have
William in GAINESVILLE by the 18th
inst, the day fixed for his execution,
and Ransom Morrow and Bellamy in
time for their trial" Upon being in
formed afterwards that the purpose
was TO give Ransom Morrow and Bel
lamy sufficient time to prepare for a
new trial, (their cases being reversed
by the Supreme Court he made about
the same statement, which was very
unsatisfactory.
M. Savage, one of the counsel for the
parties, being in Nashville, and being
informed, proceeded at once to obtain
mandamus from Judge Frank
Reid, Judge of the Circuit Court, COM
polling Sheriff Moore to appear before
him and show cause why he refused to
deliver said prisoners over. The case
was set for 10 o'clock Thursday morn
ing, at which hour all the parties were
in court, and after hearing the case
the Judge ordered Sheriff Moore to
deliver said prisoners to the Sheriff of
Montgomery county at once. 1t was
insisted by the defendants that Sheriff
Collier did not show any authority to
Sheriff Moore, and therefore he acted
properly in refusing to deliver the
prisoners. The petitioners replied
that they were not complaining SO
much because he would not deliver
the prisoners to the person applying
for them, but because it was the duty
of the Sheriff OF Davidson county to
deliver the prisoners to the Sheriff of
Montgomery county, under the order
from the Supreme Court, REMINDING
the cases, and that the cases were tried
on the 14th of March, and that he re-
ceived the order on the 23d to deliver
them to the Sheriff of Montgomery
county, and now more than nine days
had passed and he still held them with
out any right.
The court held this to be the law,
and ordered as above stated In per
suanee thereof, Sheriff Moore arrived
here Thursday night and applied at the
Jail, requesting nilor Rollow to receive
the prisoners, but he refused on the
ground that he had no right to re-
ceive them, as the order was addressed
to the Sheriff of the county, and he
was neither the Sheriff nor one OF his
deputies. Sheriff Moore drove out to
Mr.. Golfers residence, near st. Beth
lehem, Thursday night, leaving Clarks-
vile at II o'clock. He left his depu-
ties in charge of the prisoners at the
hotel Sheriff Collier gave him an
order to jailer Rollow TO receive the
prisoners, which he did, when deliver
ed over to him ut 8 o'clock Friday
morning. So the trouble between the
two Sherifis ended, and as Sheriff
Moore left Friday morning he told
Mr.. Collier whenever H. wanted any
prisoners from his mil, he should have
them.

Was Month Ago,

Who is $1,000 Better Off To-day Than He
Was a Month Ago.
Learning that Main street butcher
Was among the lucky individuals who
drew prizes at the last drawing of The
Louisiana Lottery Company, an Ava-
lanche reporter yesterday boarded a
blueline car and went down opposite
the Mississippi and Tennessee depot,
where, on the left-hand side of the
street goiug south, he found Mr. III. l..
Schmidt, the lucky individual. In re-
Spouse to an inquiry if he was The
gentleman who had drawn the prize,
Mr.. Schmidt stated that he was and
told how it came about. He was born
and raised in the city OF Memphis,
and since his youth has been engaged
in business as butcaer. He now
owns neat little shop and does Il safe
business at his store just across the
street from the depot of the Mississip-
pi and Tennessee railway. At the last
drawing OF The Louisiana Lottery
Company Mr.. Schmidt invested So in
tickets, receiving five one-iifth tickets,
and of these three drew prizeS-one,
No. 1880, drawing 5000, or one-fifth
of the second capital prize of $25J00O,
and two others drawing approximate
prizes of 50 each, or enough to cover
the the charges OF collecting his 5000
which was paid through the Bank of
Commerce of this city. Mr.. Schmidt
has been buying tickets in The Louis
lama Lottery for the past six years and
during the time has drawn two nrizes
before, one OF 1925 and one OF $50.
He will keep on investing a small
amount monthly in hopes of again
striking it lucky, and In the mean
time pay close attention to his bust
ness as butcher, which his lucky pick

large and run after his own ideas, Mr..

Why Brunettes Are Favored.

A Washington correspondent says
that when two young ladies-a blonde
and brunette-are applicants for the
same clerkship, the decision is always
in favor of the brunette, because bru-
nettes are not so quick tempered as
blondes, and consequently make more
efficient clerks. AS none but fool
hardy official would dare decide a
clerkship for which two women were
contestihg on the ground that either
had quick temper, this assertion ap-
pears highly improbable.
