PRECEDENT HADDEN dealt promptly
and properly with Squire Cole yester-
day, and we make no doubt that
Judge DuBose will be equally prompt
when the case sent up to the Criminal
Court comes on for trial. Memphis
nor Shelby county can afford to per-
NIT any man to interrupt with vio-
lence the course of justice, especially
at its very fountain and source. Mr..
Cole himself, when he has time to re-
feet, will realize that his own safety,
as we'll as that Of every man in the
county, depends upon the enforce
ment of the law. If every citizen
was permitted to 60 around and to as
sault people and magistrates at his
will, instead of peace and progress we
should have terror and anarchy. This
we don't want and won't have. Pis-
tol-csrrying mu:t be punished ss Be-
verely as the law allows, and the man
who attempts to defy the Law and in.
timidste justice must be made an
example Of. At any cost the public
peace must be maintained. Mr.. Had
den has again proven himself a fear
less and just judge.

WHILE we are recalling, under the
stimulus OF the presence OF the bar
pers' party in the State, the rapid ad-
vance of Tennessee in manufactures,
We must not forget our debt to the
lew enterprising men who have been
identified with the railroads that have
been as the very breath of the nostrils
OF our trade and commerce. Mr..
Charles M. McGhee is one of these.
Knoxville owes him deep debt. He
has been to her constant encourage
ment and leader in pushing the
East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia
railroad system to its present proper
nons. In all this work he has Deen
ably supported and sustained by Mr..
X. I. Wilson, who besides has built
for Memphis the Valley road, which
gives US second connection with
New Orleans and quick commune
cation with all parts of the Yszoo
valley. In undertaking this work,
Mr.. Wilson could see no immediate
profit, but he did see that by opening
up an almost wilderness for settle
ment he would in time be possessed
OF property the richest in the world,
monopoliEing the carrying trade OF
the most productive valley in the
world, with an inexhauhtible soil. His
ssgacity was not at fault. The work
goes on rapidly, and thousands OF
acres that three years ego were COW
cred with timber, now yield abund-
antly of cotton that findsits way to the
Memphis market. Thus in Mr.. Will
son, also former citizen of Tenuessse.
We have friend who GEES that in
helping himself he can help us and
has the courage to plant his capital
where it will develop the county
and make rapid profits for the people
- well as for himself.

BIRMINGHAM. ALA, November 19.-
Business and industrial circles were
thrown into fiutter Of exhilara-

In interesting in this district to con-
siderable extent. One hundred thou

tions have been in circu alton today.

impet tus to the real estate boom, which
already is far ahead of anything ever
seen here before.

FROH FOREIGN LANDS.
THE MILITARY MEETING in
SPAIN
Suppressed by the Talents and Vir-
tue Of the Queen-The Adams
Libel Suit.

MADRID, November 19.-In the Sem
ate last night the opposition declared
that Premier Sagssta's policy was re-
sponsible for the military mutiny in
SEPTEMBER. Senior Ssgasta replied
that anyone who should have predict
ed that year would elspse after the
death of King Alfonso without any
disturbance more serious than an up
rising OF 200 unorganized men, which
was entirely supprt ssed within two
hours, would have been Iidiculed.
Continuing, the Premier said the sup.
preston OF the revolt was due more to
the improved customs of the country
and the virtues and talents of the
Queen than to the efforts Of the
government, which, however, had
done its best to preserve order.
Gen. Salamanca attacked Pre-
mier Sagasts personally and amid
general murmurs, declaring that
the only way to bring about the
fail OF the governm ent was by resort-
Jog to military uprising, Gen. Gas IL
10, Minister Of War, condemned the
efforts to make the army a political
machine. He said the policy of the
government wss to make OF the men
composing the army good soldiers,
who wou d ever be ready to serve
their country and follow its flag. The
general opinion is that the govern
ment carried off the honors Of the de-
bate, and that the opposition made
nothing by its attack.

JACKSON, MISS.
Judge Hill Renders His Decision
in the Vicksburg and Meri-
dian Railroad Case.
GsPEoIAL TO THE APPEAL


JACKSON, MISS November l9.-Ar-
gument was made before Judge Hill,
of the Federal Court, lest nght in the
matter OF the petition of the bond Of
the receiver of the Vicksburg and Me-
Iidian railroad, filed some two WEI ks
ago, praying that the Railroad Comm s /.
sion be enj Jined from enforcing The
tariff Of charges for passengers and
freight last promulgated by them for
said road, and asking the court to per-
nit the road to resume its old tariff.
To grant the p aver of the petition
would be The virtual repeal of a law OF
Mississippi by the Federal Court, and
would thereby bring the State and
federal authorities ia direct conf lct.
Judge Hill did not decide the case,
but Issued an order to the receiver
command ng in effect to prepare and
present to the commission a new tariff
for local freight charges without dis
elimination to persons or loca tiles that
will pay per cent. per annum on the
amount OF the value of the road, and
to fix aud charge the fare for paesen-
gers at cents per mile. The tariff
as heretofore fixed by the commission
was on the basis cf something over
$4,000 per mile valuation, which val
uation was adopted by the commits
sion from the statements and repre-
sentations of the authorities of said
road. Said company alleges the value
of the road to be $20,0 per mile.
The order allowing 8 per cent. profits
on the valuation does not decide on
which basis it shall be calculated. 1t
is supposed that the object OF this
order is TO endeavor to effect q COM
promise between the commission and
the railroad authorities.

where they will be today and, per-
hsps, tomorrow. 1t is pertinent to
this tour to recall the fact that Ten
nessee owes this opportunity of max.
ing herself known to Mr.. John II. In.
man, of New York, native OF Jeffer-
son county, in this State, aud an
ex-Confederste who at the close of
the war returned to his home penni-
less, ragged and forlorn like all the
rest of the immortais who survived d
the hard fought fields of the civil war.
His relatives glad that he lived to tell
OF hair-breadth escapes welcomed him
with affection, but political passion
was still in the ascendant, and he
found that the atmosphere was
not conducive to his peace. He there
fore abandoned his home and went
into the heart Of his former enemy's
country, and there has made both fame
and fortune, and name for honest
dealing and financial skill that all Ten
nessesns must be proud of. They must
also be proud Of his public spirit
and of the generosity that has in
duced so many enterprises like this
tour of the Harpers', which is to
culminate in finale OF good will for
the South on the part of our Northern
brethren. Inman is a very Apostle
OF Peace, with Aladdin's lamp in

Of kindly, genial and pleasant things.
