Wait Until After the Millennium.
THE community requires four things Of its
railroad system" says the popular Science
Monthly:
II. That 1t shall afford sufficient facilities to
meet the wants of business. In other words
there must be enterprise in building new lines,
and in keeping the old ones up to a high standard
of efficiency
s2. That the charges. as a whole, shall be as
reasonable as possible. If they are higher than
those of other countries, or higher than is nee
essary for the support of the railroads the bust
ness development of the community will be re-
tarded.
''3 That there shall not be arbitrary differ
ences in charge which force business into un
natural and wasteful channels. cripple one
man for the enrichment of another
~. That there shall be as little waste of CAPT
tai as possible. either by corruption, extrava-
gance, or want OF business skill. This is not
quite so vital a matter as the other three but it
Is one which we cannot afford to leave out Of
account"
No system Of regulation is ever likely to be de-
vised which will secure all these results, at least
before the millennium age

AN OBITUARY.

Among the things that passed away
with the old year and are no more to
be found in this active, bustling world
is the little pointer dog that made his
-emi-weekly appearance in the columns
of the South Kentuckian. He was n
nice little dog, eminently respectable
in appearance and always carried his
bead and tail erect, as dog with Il clear
conscience and proper self-respect
snouId do
But the point about this dog more
than any other dog-the one thing in
particular that distinguished him from
other specimens Of genus canis, was the
fact that he supplied his owner with
poetic inspiration, Other poets have
invoked the muses. for this purpose, but
the divine aillatus that on semi-weekly
occasions filled Brother Meacham s soul,
burned in his heart and throbbed in
his pulses, was attributable solely TO this
wonderful dog. On that account, the
dog was always honored with a proni-
nent place in the paper, Immediately
preceding the specimens of Brother
Meacham' genius, which he had such
a large share in producing.
1t was this same little dog that prece-
ded certain wonderful poem to which
we have before alluded in these columns
"a dolelul ditty singing the demise OF
the town of Hopknsvlle. Just then
the dog, besides being an inspirer OF
poetry, had been trying himself at
railroad building, and was endeavoring
to induce the people of Hopkinsvlle,
that is what was left of them, the rem
nant, MS it were, to build grand trunL
railroad, beginning in Hopkinsville and
ending in Cadiz,"
II was this extra effort, we are afraid
that brought about the little dogs sac
ending, and hereby hangs II tale. No
he dogs tail, buta tale with moral
that that The history Of this little Dr.
serves to point,
The moral is that man is not alway,
a good railroad builder because he is
poet, and when he attempts job so lai
out Of his line-ten to one, either he o.
he railroad will "kerllummux. Ii,
the case in question, it seems to have
have had a htal effect on both. The
railroad was never built, and the dog
died ia the effort to start it.

NATIONAL AID.

The Washington correspondent Of
the Nashville American states that a
poll Of the new committee ON educa-
ton reveals the fact that a majority is
opposed to the Blair bill A little
further on in the same communication
he remarks;
Hon. A. j. Caldwells bill, some
think, will be successfully substituted
for the Blair bill. 1t provides for dis
tributing the proceeds of the sale OF
public lands among the States, ON the
basis OF illiteracy as proposed in JET
ierson's second annual message, and
entirely obviates every constitutional
objection. The Federal Government
will have no control over it.
From this we gather that the com
nittee really iavors national aid to edu-
cation, and only objects to the Blair
bill as a means to that end. If Con-
gressman Caldwell has been so ingen-
ious as to frame a bill that provides for
an appropriation for this purpose and
obUates the constitutional objections
the strict constructionisls have so persis-
tently inter- rposed, he is Statesman and
no mistake The CHRONICLE favors
national aid and will support that
measure which promises the most OF it.
We are not altogether unmindiul Of the
constitution, but measure that Attor-
ney-General Garland approved by his
vote while a member OF the Senate,
we can take on faith, especially as it is
much needed and will be very bene-
fetal in its practical results.

NOT A PRECEDENT.

The recent decision Of the Unitet
States Supreme court in the case OF tn.
Mississippi Railroad Commission vs
The Mobile & Ohio Railroad, does no
decide somewhat similar question
raised in Tennessee, as certain paper
claim it does. The Mobile & Ohio roa,
had among other stipulations in tn
charter granted it by the State of Missis
.sippi, the right to fix its rates. TIL
stipulation was indefinite asto amounts
1t was simply clause giving the rail
road the general privilege of regulu
ting its charges. The Supreme con-
decided that Notwithstanding this claus
in the charter, the Railroad Commits,
ion created by the State, could preven
exhorbltant charges by the road.
The case in Tennessee is different j
,his; the State in granting charters t
various roads, fixed a specific amour
that they could not transcend Ther
is a material difference between this an
the Mississippi case and the latter ca
scarcely be urged as precedent b
which railroad regulation in this Stat
can be governed.
But be that as it may, it is on tn
ground of expediency that We have a
ways fought the idea of a Railroad Con
mission and not ON that Of legality
The expedency of the matter is cel
tainly in no way touched by the 81
preme court decision.

One of the last things in the Ameri-
can, under Mr.. Vertress' administra-
ton, was paragraph alluding to Chief
Justice Waite as "the friend OF the peo-
ple," on account OF his recent railroad
decision. That is rather doubtful
compliment for judicial officer, whose
duty it is to administer the law as he
finds it without regard to friend or foe
We believe The Chief Justice acted i'm
partially, as just Judge should, but the
American remark would not impl,
MS much. BY the way, why didn't Mr.
Vertrees pass this compliment on th'
decision in regard to the liability of til,
railroads for the Tennessee bonds.

SENATE coNFlRMATloNR.

The Nashville Union, in speaking
of the probable course of the Repub-
lican Senate in refusing to confirm
the Presidents appointments when
the person nominated has been an
"ofiensive partisan," makes the
point that this will be n perversion of
true civil service reform. Says the
Union:
mo man who is a public servant
nd whose time is paid for out of the
Treasury. ought to be allowed to be-
come an active partisan, and for sew
eral reasons. The whole people are
entitled to his services; and, second,
the Office gives him an influence
which otherwise he would not have /;
and, therefore, it is in some sense the
Government taking sides. A man
who, while in Office, becomes active
in politics, is strictly an Offensive
partisan,' and ought to be turned out.
But does the Republican Senate pro-
pose to apply this doctrine to one who
was active before his appointment,
and therefore refuse to confirm him
such ruling will be q great abuse OF
a sound doctrine. Neither the law,
nor the spirit Of the law, applies to
such case"
The Union is in Il manner right,
yet, without making the sentimental
and useless attempt to create a strict
ly non-partisan civil service, there is
a class of men who should be refused
Office on the grounds Of their politi-
cal action when not in office. Such
men are those who make a trade OF
politics, avOwed believers in the
spo!ls system, who maneHvre con-
ventions and work up elections, with
the sole view Of obtaining Office as a
reward for their party services. Such
men are rarely honest, and generally
given to cunning and chicane. Ii
would be difficult to define them as a
class, or even to classify their otfense;
but the Senate acts on individual
cases, and its rules are more flexible
than those that govern a court in the
condemnation Of a criminal,
The President himself has been
largely influenced by such considera-
tions as those we have pointed cut
in making his appointments, though
in some instances he has been led to
violate them. One Tennessee ap-
po;ntment was rather at variance
with his general policy in this par
ticular. The Presidents sincerity
in his efforts to purify the civil SER
vice, has been generally acknowl-
edged by the nation, and any cap
tious objection to his appointments
by the Senate will not redown to tho
welfare Of the Republican party.

ALBEIT that Mr.. Bland is Chairman
of the Coinage Committee, the Phila-
delphia Press says:
"Mr. Carlisle, like good many other
Democratic mem bers, is said to be in
favor of the suspension OF silver com.
age if he can he convinced that there Is
such danger OF the separation of the
two metals rs to throw the country upon
IL purely silver basis. On fixing the
committe on coinage, weights and meas
ures he took cognizance Of the recon-
mendations OF the President and Secre-
tary Manning Indeed, it is said that
he had been in daily communication
with the President for the last week OF
more"
The Washington correspondent OF the
Memphis Avalanche, is OF the same
opinion and thinks the committee will
be inclined to compromise on the silver
question, either by partial suspension
OF coinage, or the increased value OF the
dollar.

THE States of the Latin Union,
France, especially, decline to enter into
any arrangement with the United States,
towards fixing the ratio of gold and sill
yer in the standard coins of the two
metals. The French ratio is more
favorable 10 silver by nearly one-half an
ounce than that prevailing in this coun-
try. Probably suspension of silver
coinage by the United States and a con-
sequent throwing of silver bullion in
large quantities on the European mar
ket, would bring the Latin Union tC
terms in this matter.
Clarksville weekly chronicle. (Clarksville, Tenn.) 1873-1890, 1886-01-16

SENATOR EUsTIs, of ofLouisiana, has
introduced a resolution to the effect
that the $10,0OO,0O0 of bonds payable
February 1st should be paid in silver
dollars; and the resolution is pre-
faced with the argument that it will
be legal to do so. If the silver men
can thus succeed in finding purposes
to which the daddie dollar can beap-
piled, they may have an excuse fol
urging a continuance of its coinage
but still, they should agree to its be
ing made a sure enough dollar, and
not an eighty cents substitute.
