JOHN SHERIDAN, SIR. NARY MINER SHERIDAN.
HOME OF s~HERIDAN's PARENTS.
men were getting numerous in southern
Ohio, as it was the great era Of making ca
mails and other public works. The senior
Sheridan had some local influence and the
honorable gentleman quietly decided that it
would be a good thing TO appoint an Irish
on, as he knew it would be. The thing was
done and in the autumn of 1S4S Philip Henry
Sheridan entered West Point: and here we
must take leave of hin as a boy.

The civil war was more than a year old
and still he was an issuer of rations with
only the rank of captain. Had not Gen.
Grant been relieved of the command of his
army after the battle Of Shiloh, Sheridan
would probably never have left the commits
sary department to lead men to battle. 1t is
true that he fretted in the position he then
held on Gen. Halleck's staff. He had done
the best he could to secure the colonelcy of
some regiment from his native state, but he

Semi-weekly south Kentuckian. [volume] (Hopkinsville, Ky.) 1883-1889, 1888-02-14

A petition has been circulated in
this city in the last few days which
will be presented to the Legislature
urging them to pass law requiring
the counties who have outstanding
bonds to pay them in full. By all
means such law should be passed,
as the stand some of the counties in
the State have taken has greatly dam
aged the credit of the other counties
and the laws in regard to this class
of Indebtedness should be explicit
and require county when it issue
a bond to pay face value with accu
mulated interest; 1t is nothing bu
just, and such law is what Kentuck!
wants at this time.
Semi-weekly south Kentuckian. [volume] (Hopkinsville, Ky.) 1883-1889, 1888-02-14

In another column we reprint from
the Courier-Journal, an article head
ed "a Dangerous Bill" and our reas-
ON for SO doing is that it is full of
glazing facts, and worthy of perusal
from all. The substance of the bill
introduced, that brought forth this
comment should be closely read, for
no possible good can come from its
passage and where there Is no good
there necessarily must be some harm.
The object of the Commissioners in
originating the bill was doubtless to
give them more TO do, and enable
them to come nearer earning their
salaries. The benefit of the Railroad
Commission to the State may have
been great, but we have failed to see
it. They have visited Hopkinsville
several times as well as other cities
to inquire into freight rates, and all
the good they have done, SO far as
this city is concerned, amounts to
nothing. 1t is true they assessed the
property ofthe Railroads in the State,
but this could have been done just as
well some other way. There is no
disputing the fact that the Commits
sion is of but little benefit, although
the gentlemen appointed from time
to time have worked hard to scare
up work enough to keep them busy.
1t does seem to us that what few rail
roads the State has already, are of in
estimable value to her, and If any
legislation is made at all, it should
be to give them few more rights
than they now enjoy. 1t is fact
that simply because railroads are
owned by corporations nearly every
one appears to be down on them,
when they have done more for the
development of the country than will
ever be properly appreciated. What's
the use of passing bill authorizing
the Commissioners 10 do or have done
what it is 10 the interest of every
railroad to do. The best thing for
Kentucky and the Legislature to do
is 10 use all the means available to
encourage more railroads, to develop
the undeveloped parts of the State,
and reserve to them the right to man
age their own business.
