The Atlanta Constitution doesn't care
which of the Taylor. brothers is elected
Governor of Tennessee, and draws the
following moral from the campaign:
uBob and Aft deserve all the applause
they are getting. They have set a
pattern that other politicians will fol.
low, and opened a path that proves SO
unexpectedly pleasant that other poii-
ticsans will walk therein. When 1t Is
accepted that every man does not be-
come q scoundrel the moment he offers
for Office we shall be able TO induce
better men TO become candidates"
Ten lines o: moonshine. Neither
Bob nor All are deserving of any par
ticular praise, for it was not expected
in the natural order ofthtngs that Bot
would denounce ALT as q scoundrei and
that ALI would retort that Bob was .
degenerate son-of-asgun.

Locating The scales.

The principal matter for consideration
before the committee on streets last evening
was the petition of the st. Paul board of
trade TO be allowed to place hay scale on
Wacouta street near Fifth. The board has
considered this matter long and carefully.
and has come to the deliberate and well
founded opinion that public scale under
the control of the city ought to be located
in some place convenient for the weighing
of grain and produce taken from the cars
The members of the board of trade are con-
tinually having trouble with their consign-
ors in the country in regard to the weight
of consignments. The weights do not
in some instances hold out. and this is very
unsatisfactory to shippers. As long as con-
signments are weighed in st. Paul, i'm the
manner in which they now are, the
board says. will not be satisfactory to any
one, and they are just as unsatisfactory
to the members of the board as they are TO
the shippers themselves.
The board has. therefore, come to the
conclusion that the best way, and really the
only way, is to put in the best scale tat
can be bought. and have a weigher ap-
pointed by the city. This. il is thought,
will obviate all difficulty and render the
wegher's certificate conclusive. This
being the opinion of the members of the
board, they sent in. some weeks ago. TO
the council petition asking TO be allowed
to put In scale ON Wacouta street, between
Fifth and Sixth. The committee is very de-
cidedly opposed to putting a scale in the
street, and week or two ago made re-
port to the council but the council. at the
request of the board, referred the report
back TO the committee with the understand
ing that the committee would hear what
the members of the board had to say further
upon the subject.
AT the meeting of the committee last
night delegation of the board, consisting
of Messrs. McCauley. Doran, Harper
Griggs, Grant, Gales, BOhrer and Capt
Berkey from the outside appeared and
stated the views of the board the substance
of which is set forth in the above. All
they want is a scale in the street, so man
aged that the weighing shall be done indie
pendent of the board SO as to render the
certificate of the weighing conclusive. The
matter was talked over. but the committee
would not change its views which were op-
posed, very decidedly, to allowing private
scales in the street. The proposition was
finally laid over with the understanding that
efforts should be made to secure lot for
the scale and generally, to consider the
matter further and see If some way cannot
be devised to accomplish the main object in
view.
