MANY of our legislators seem to
be impressed with the notion that il
they can only introduce a bill to
regulate railroads." they will come
home to their constituents covered
all over with glory. The average
Tennessee Legislator knows just
about as much about regulating rail-
roads as he does about the moons
surface, and the prejudice in the

THEmost startling piece of railroad
news now going the rounds isarumor
to the effect that the Louisville and
Nashville railroad is about to be
5cooped by the Richmond Terminal.
The Bristol Courier says the question
is now causing serious discussion
among business men and manu-
lacturers of the South, who will fight
the move. The l.. & n. is a scoopel
Of no mean reputation herself, and
the Richmond Terminal must
certainly have very capacious NAV

to look at the property with an eye

THE Democratic members of the
General Assembly met in caucus last
Tuesday night to consider several i'm
pOrtant measures. Committees were
appointed to frame bills on the differ
ent objects, and one of them was
charged with the work of "a bill to
redistrict the Third Congressional
District" Ifthis committee will view
the matter from proper standpoint,
they will report against any change
in this District. 1t would be very
unwise policy for the Democrats in
the Legislature to perpetrate gerry
mander on this District solely for
party advantage. If there are more
Republicans than Democrats in the
District the former ale fairly entitled
to the Congressman. Our present
General Assembly has already been
guilty of too much partisan work not
calculated to react for the party's adj
vantage in the future. AS long as a
man is a candidate for the Legisla-
ture, his fealty and allegiance is due
to his party, but as soon as he is elect
ed, h6becomes the representative of
the whole people, and not simply
that portion of them who hold his
political faith. Coffee, Cannon, or
any other Democratic county will OBJ
ject to being tied on to this District
for the sole purpose Of pulling our
Congressional chestnut out of the fire.
Every Republican in the District, and
n large per cent, if not majority, of
the Democrats of the District are OPP
posed to gerrymander, consequently
any such move on the part of the
Legislature would be but partisan
: pandering to the sickly sentiment OF
a small though eminently respectable
minority.

THE Nashville papers are warmly
advocating new city hall and court
house to be built jointly by the city

should feel pride enough in this dis

The Review does not favor disfran-
chisement of the negro, neither does
it believe that he should beled about
by the nose by any party. But we
believe he should have his rights and
be an Independent voter if he is to
remain a free and independent
citizen.-National Review.
Well, the negro "aint built that
way" He can never be an indie
pendent voter until endowed with
the capacity to be an independent
thinker. A very few Of them have
reached this point, and nine out of
ten of those who have vote the
Democratic ticket. The great mass
of negro voters are as ignorant of
what is involved in the election
franchise rs they are of Greek. The
negro will continue to "be led about
by the nose" for decades to come, az
he Is absolutely incapable of acting
for himself, and it is simply a ques.
tion of who shall do the leading, the
Democrats, who are his true friends
and helpers, and to whom he is in
debted for all his subsistence and
opportunities, or Republicans, who
do nothing on earth for him but use
his vote to their advantage. This
is clean cut statement Of the facts
in the case, shorn of all sophistry,
and Republicans, as well as Demo
Gratis, know it, Now what are you
going to do about it?

Death of Bishop McTyeire.

Bishop II. n. McTyeire, senior
bishop of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, South, died at his residence
on the Vanderbilt Campus, Nashville,
at 8 o'clock last Friday morning. He
was born in South Carolina, July 18th,
1924, consequently lacked few
months of being 60 years of age. He
was President of the Board of Trust
of Vanderbilt University. He was a
man loved, hOnored and admired by
all people, all classes, and all sects.
We clip the following brief notes of
his career from the Americans:
Bishop McTyeire would have been
twenty-three years a Bishop had he
lived until next April.
He was recognized as the foremost
parliamentarian and presiding officer
in the church.
He wrote his history of Methodism
in England and America in 1884. 1t
has been recognized at the North and
South and in England as a standard
history of Methodism.
1t was at the General Conference at
Nashville, held in 1858, in the House
of Representatives, that he was elect
ed editor of the Nashville Christian
Advocate, being then 81 years Old.
He has been President of the Board
of Trust of Vanderbilt since 1873.
His last sermon was while at Tulla-
homa sick, in November, when he
preached on the Ten Commandments.
The last annual conference he at
tended was the Louisville, held last
October at Lebanon, Ky.

of Toledo, the brother-in-law of ex-Presi-
dent Cleveland, has been closeted all day
at Hamilton with Governor-elect Camp
bell, his object being to get the new gov
ernor and his friends to support for the

land and Campbell, and to send the Hon.
Calvin S. Brice, chairman of the ma
tional Democratic committee, to the

cessor, as part of the scheme.

here are up in arms at Cleveland's inter-

vengeance. The ex-president's bold
move has made panic III Ohio politics,

LITTLE BLACKFoOr DISTRICT.

The Little Blackfoot district, of which
a good deal has been said in The
NAIL heretofore, is now offering more
promising outlook than ever before; per-
haps from the fact that the right men
have finally got hold of some proper
ties there, and as consequence are open
ing it up to good advantage.
Among the principal mines thus far
operated upon is group known as the
Lily group of mines, which are owned by
Angus A. Mcdonald, of Philipsburg; c..
X. Wells, ]. F. Murphy and Mr.. Sted-
eker, of Helena. On one claim they have
a perpendicular shaft down some IS feet,
with twenty inches of ore in sight that
averages SO ounces in silver, 80 per cent.
lead, and $3.50 in gold. On another
claim where considerable development
has been done, they have 81. feet of ore,
carrying 80 ounces of silver, Is per cent.
lead, and 81 to SIS in gold. The average
assays on the first-class ores from these
properties Is $83 per ton, and from the
second-class $35 to $40.

Mr.. Hall, with his son, have bonded Of

which adjoins the Iron Mountain on the
east. They have also bond1-! the Pardee,
q fraction adjoining, OF Messrs. Jackson,
Blaisdell. Murphy and Foster; and also
another claim in the same group. They
will begin work on the Is2perties in a
short time, and it is quite likely that they
will prove of considerable value, on &C.
count of their contiguity to the Iron
Mountain and the prospetys already in
sight.
Reports from the Iron Mountain con-
tinue to come in the same favorable way.
At present they are running tunnel on
No. 4. A winze is to be run The hoist
is nearly completed. Quantities of ore
are being taken out and shipped to the

A short distance from the Iron Noun
tain, in Spring gulch, several good look

ness, of Portland, Oregon, has had a
number OF men at work for some months
past on the King, Queen aEi Ivanhoe,
from which quite an amounts ,of ore has
been taken out and is on ;lshe dump,
ready for shipment as soon as the rail-
road is completed to that point, which is
eight miles distant from the main track.
The Little Chief mine, adjoining the
Gold Hunter, in Mullen, Idaho, has
