Railroad Regulation.
NnEAHIlln I-ntn

The final result of the railroad dis
| cussion in the Legislature was most
! fortunate, but the course taken by the
| Governor is much to be regretted.
The repeal OF the bill, which was cost
ing the State so much money, and yet
was imperative, was from business
standpoint a necessity. Does the action
of the Governor and the manifestations
OF approval IN Jew partisan papers in
dIcate a purpose to renew this fight?
We sincerely hope not. We took the
ground at once, upon the action of the
Legislature, that this was the end of
the question in Tennessee. But the
feeble effort at public demonstration,
and the course of the regulation news
papers since the overthrow of the nov
ernors veto, seems TO indicate that the
agitation is to be renewed. 1t is I'M
necessary for us to 60 over the ground
to show that the people of Tennessee
are opposed to putting the railroads,
which belong to the stockholders, in
the hands of politicians.
The Governor makes his fight on the
right to legislate about railroads, and
to control them as other interests are
controlled; but why not meet the ques-
ton Squarely? The question is tins
Suppose the Legislature grant Il char
ter to build a TailrOrd from Nashville
to Bristol, and say to citizens, if you
raise the money and take the stock, !
you may charge 50 cents per hundred |
pounds per hundred miles freight, and |
five cents per mile as fare, and you !
may have a board of directors to con- |
-, 70
the money and build the road. Can
the Legislature then say, We will not
carry out this contract? We will have
the Governor appoint the board, and
they shall have the power to impose
different terms from those in the con-
tract
This is the exact question, and it
arises upon the Tennessee charter and
the Tennessee Constitution, not the
Georgia''Or New York constitutions and
charters; not under charters where
the right is rescinded, but under
and charter where no
such rights are rescinded. The i'm
portant question comes up, what is the
Democratic party going to do? We
saw eliminate it. The Democratic
party cannot live and carry this ques-
ion. 1t is an economic and business
question, and ought not to go into our
platforms.
Democrats who are interested in the
yrwth and prosperity of the State will
never consent that all progress shall be
checked by placing barrier in the .
way of railroad building. In short, ,
he Democratic party cannot carry {
his question and the only safe course !
s TO abandon it as party issue. Let
men do as they please about it, with
nut regard to party. This is our propo- !
ition for compromise, but if this is
lot satisfactory, we shall not hesitate 7
o stond by the interests of the State 3
nd oppose party interference with /
private business. q

REPUBLICAN F1MBusfERlse.

1t 1T were possible to disgrace the
Republican party, the action of its
members in the Tennessee Legislature
this week would have accomplished
that result But homely proverb
says "a bad egg cannot be spoilt." and
the escutcheon of the grand old party"
Is none the more furnished on account
OF the rascally doings at the State cap
ital.
The Republicans have been CRYING
Grand" at every election in this State
since the war. and have all along pre-
tended that the earnest desire of their
hearts was free ballot and a fair conut.
Yet when registration bin Is intro.
dueed to insure that very thing, the
Republican members run away from
the capital to prevent its passage,
notwithstanding that the appropria-
ton bills have not been passed. and that
other important measures REQUIRE at
tention, they adopted these filibuster-
ing tactics during the last days of the
Legislature, at the risk of putting the
State to the expense of an extra SEES
sion.
The proposed registration law would
apply to cities wherein over l 1000 votes
are cast The Republicans know it
would prevent their importing vo-
tiers from Georgia into Chattanooga
and from Arkansas into Memphis and
cut off other frauds they nave been
accustomed to practice in the large
towns. 1t has at least shown up the
insincerity of their cry for fair cleo
lions.

THE VETO MESSAGE

Gov. Bate vetoed the bill repeating
the Railroad Commission law. but on
its return to the Legislature it was re
enacted by an increased majority.
The Governors message giving the
reasons for his action in Ihis regard is
not very admirable State paper. 1t
is a rehash of the campaign arguments
he made in favor of the commission,
supplemented by some eyasiuns of the
real facts in the case that would have
been bad enough in the columns OF a
partisan newspaper, and certainly
don't become so dignifed a document
as a message from Governor.
The Governor gives very little credit
to the intelligence of the public when
he counts the vote cast in the last
election for the Republican Railroad
Commissioners as favoring commits.
sion.
He is forced to acknowledge that
the law is imperative rs To a number
OF roads in the State, but thinks the
commission should be continued To-
regulate the few narrow-gauges and
branch lines that did not Join in the
injunction. Considering that the in.
junction is final and that the other
roads can obtain a similar injunction
whenever they please, the weakness Of
this argument is too apparent to need
pointing out
The Governor is congratulated by
his friends on the "blck- bone" dis
played in vetoing this bill. When
law has been declared unconstitutional
and rendered imperative by the
courts, voted down by the people and
repealed 10y the Legislature, veto
from the Governor looks to us like an
exhibition Of mere muleishness. "Back
bone" comes OF the courage OF convic-
ton, but the stubbornness that at
tempts to bolster up pet scheme in
the face of its failure, indicates weak
ness and not strength Of character.

Tobacco Receipts and Stocks in the West.
Nashville American.

From the circular of w. G. Mier &
Co, of Louisville KY, we learn that
the total receipts of tobacco i'll all the
markets of the West for the period
embraced between January 1 and
April l were 61,562 hogsheads, as
against 1884 for the corresponding
period of last year. The stock on
hand in the Western markets amount
ed to 1868 hOgsheads, as against 25,-
577 at the same period last year.
The large planting of White Burley
tobacco IN 1884 has had the effect OF
reducing relatively the prices as COM
pared with the heavy shipping sorts.
While the prices OF the latter have
been maintained, the prices tor Burley
have declined fully twenty-five per
cent. as compared with prices last
year. This situation is not unexpect-
ed, as it is well known that since 1869
the White Burnley mania has infested
almost the entire heavy tobacco region
of the Western States. This variety
so popular with domestic manufactur-
ers, because of its large absorptive
capacity and its mildness has been
pushed beyond the legitimate require
ments of the domestic trade, and I'M
less it can be popularized in the Euro
pean markets the planting must be
curtailed or it will cease to be grown
with profit. The prices now, taking
all grades, are about equal TO those f.
heavy shippers, but another such crop
as that grown last year will place them
far below.

A CANT bier named Ike Johnson made
an assault on Representative Fisk on
the streets in Nashville Monday. Fisk
had said in Il speech while discussing
the gambling bill that ii professional
gambler was no better than Il thief
who robs by night. Johnson was
standing at the corner ol Union and
Cherry streets talking with Represen-
tatlve Beatty, the notorious desperate
from Fentress county. Beatty saw Fisk
on the other side of the street and
called him over to where he and
johnson stood. Johnson asked Fisk
If he meant what he said in his speech
IN the Legislature Fisk replied that
he never took anything back, where
upon Johnson knocked him down
twice, striking him in the face each
time. johnson was much stronger
man than Fisk, the latter being quite
old and feeble. johnson was fined
$50 before the Nashville police court
for an assault. Tuesday morning he
was summoned before the bar of the
House, and after much pow-wow
among the members he was fined $50
for contempt OF that body, it being
that he should be confined

THE LEGISLATIVE MUDDLE.

The filibustering Republican Sena-
tors betook themselves to two rooms
in the Maxwell House at Nashville.
where they are barred and bolted in to
prevent capture by the Democratic
members who hold the fort at the
capital.
Senator Ramsey was caught outside
and being arrested was released by
Judge Frank Reid on writ OF habeas
corpus. The Judge decided that less
than quorum OF the Senate had no
right to compel the attendance of alb
sent members. His opinion is thought
by some to have had partisan bias,
but not being learned in the law we
can't criticise il.
Meanwhile the appropriation and
revenue bills remain unpassed and
the time for which the members re-
ceive pay has expired
The registration bill which caused
the rumpus passed the House by
ruling which is questioned by some
able parliamentarians. Speaker Man.
son decided that though there was not
a quorum voting there was a quorum
present, and that the bill was legally
passed. In our opinion this is COM
nonsense view of the case, and ought
70 be the law if it is not.
The bill failed Of passage in the Sen
ate when first brought up because one
Democrat, Senator Keith, voted against
1t. He had doubts of It's constitution
atty because of its local feature. He
was induced to move IA reconsidera-
ton, but before this could be done the
Republican Senators "vamoosed" and
took to their hiding place in the Max
well House.
The funny thing about the thing is
that the members haven't received
their full pay, and can't get it until
the appropriation bill has passed.
The situation was unchanged
Thursday night.

The following was dispatched from
Hopkinsville to the Nashville Union
of Monday:
a cOld-blooded murder was COM
mitted here this morning about
O'Clock. Henry Martin, noted des-
perado, shot and MORALLY wounded
Wiley Hutchinson, in front of the
courthouse. A few minutes previous,
Hutchinson elected Martin from his
room administering to him a sound
thrashing. 1t was all about a negro
woman OF i'll repute. Martin returned
to Hutchinsons door and after hot
words shot through the door, Hutch
inson jumped through his window to
the ground below and made for the
station house. Martin overlook him
on Main street and opened fire on him
twice in rapid succession. The second
shot lodged in Hutchinson's back,
bringing him to the ground Martin
fled, but soon afterward was captured
at his home in the act of bidding his
family good bye. He is conspicuou
character around town, and has figured
in numerous fights. He had threat
ened some time ago to kill Hutchin-
son. The victim was a quiet, inotien-
sive negro.
The South kentuckian of Tuesday,
states that Hutchinson is not dead and
will probably recover.
