savage's Railroad Policy.

Editor Standard:
My railroad policy, and my acts as
Railroad Commissioner, through preju
dice or interest, have been misrepre-
sented to very great extent. 1t is
said the Railroad Commission did
nothing, and drew their salary con-
trary to law. This is untrue in its
length and breadth. worked hard
during the whole term of Office, and 1
am satisfied read and wrote more
than 1 ever did in the same length of
time at any period of my life.
The railroads started this SANDER
to aid Reid to beat Gov. Bate and the
Democratic party. The Commission
ers did not draw their salaries until
the Chancery Court at Nashville and
the Supreme Court of the State Of
Tennessee, decided that a0ader the Ia,c
the Commissioners were entitled to
payment, which salaries were lower
than Railroad Commissioners of any
other State receive. Hence the state
ment is perversion of the truth and
a SANDER.
The report of the Railroad Com
missioners, which the law required
them to make, contains l4S pages
No newspaper or railroad advocate
has criticised it, and the Interstate
Commerce Committee of the United
State Senate incorporated in their re
port extracts from the report of the
Tennessee Commissioners with word:
of approval.
That the people may know the drift
of my railroad policy, and to correc
misrepresentation, 1 request you t.
publish a little of the 14S pages al
follows:
Commissioners should stand as sen
tinels watching for the safety of th'
Republic-they should be charged Il
watch the operations and manage
ment of the railroads; to see that they
neither charge unreasonable freight
or discriminate against persons O
places; and also that the roads ar,
operated in strict compliance will
the laws of the State. They SHOULD
be invested with ample power to in
spect the conditions and operations o
the railroads in every particular, ant
to publish the same at stated periods
for the benefit of the public; to pre-
vent the watering of stock, andspecu
lative frauds upon the public by rail
road officials. They should be re
quired to report to the Attorney-Gen
eral, for his action, every violation Q
law by these corporations. ee

Death of John Macon.

Thursday evening ]. G. Fowler,
United States Deputy Collector, cut
John Macon, proprietor of the Broad
way House, and seriously wound
ed him. An account of the affair was
given in The American on the next
morning. The doctors did not antic-
ipate any fatal results from the stabs
which Macon had received, but one
of the cuts, the one on his right arm,
had severed the main artery and the
nerve, causing a great loss of blood
and a shock to the nervous system of
the man, who was nearly go years of
age, from which it was impossible to
rally him. He gradually sank, and
yesterday afternoon at $50 o'clock
died, from loss of blood the physi-
clans said.
Mr.. Macon has been a resident of
Nashville three years, as the proprie-
tor of the Broadway House. He
came here from Warren County,
where he was born, and where he
was engaged in the distrlllery bust
ness for about twenty years prior to
this removal. He was a captain dur
ing the four years of the war, under
Col. Ben Hill, of McMinnville, and
was Immediately under Albert Sid.
ney Johnston at the battle of Shiloh
makinga charge with him, and was in
few feet of that general when he was
killed.
Capt. Macon was large, fine look
ing, tall, heavy built man, and wa:
81 years old. There has been fol-
fifteen years feud existing between
him and Mr.. Fowler, originating il
a suit alleged to have been brought
at the instance of the latter by tn,
United States Revenue Department
against Macon for violations of tn,
revenue law. Since then the matte
has been off and on revived and tn,
Captain had ordered him never t.
come on his or his sons premises, t,
inspect the stock.
The immediate cause of the troubl
was that the two boys, S. r. and Z
j. Macon, owned a distillery Of
Front street which had no warehous
on it for the deposit of the stock ant
the Commissioner recently havin
decided that such must be the cas-
with every distillery, they were re
ported to the Collectors office. Tn
reasons given by the Macon boys 70
not having a deposit was that the dis
tillery was below high water mark
and was in the burnt district, and
building such as required could nc
be we'll erected. This was what
: R. and E. j. Macon stopped Fowle
in front of the hotel for Thursda
afternoon. The Deputy Collector &C
vised them to lay the whole matte
before the Commissioner.
Capt. John Macon, who had com
out during the conversation, said
, there was any compromise Fowlt
should have nothing to do with i
and called the officer some har
, names. When he commenced
abuse him Fowler hit at him wit
the small pen knife, striking II
right arm Of Macon, who in retur
hit back with his fist, infiicting a han
, blow on Fowler's neck. Fowler the
stabbed him on the other arm.
R. Macon separated them and Il
! revenue man went away, and WI
, afterward arrested by the police, an
| gave security for his appearance.
+ 1t was understood that there wOul
p be an indictment against him Fl

The general trade was moderately
good today, but void of any feature
worthy of special note. Prices of all
the leading staples remain steady and
unchanged.
Flour was in fair demand locally
and for shipment south.
Wheat was quiet. The weak and
unsettled condition of the western
markets causes buyers to,be very eau
tious.
Provisions were in good demand
with no changes in the market.
Country produce was in fair request
with moderate receipts. Eggs were
in good demand at 13c, and butter
at 10 to 15c. Poultry was in good de-
mand at full quotations.
