IN THE Senate last Tuesday the
bill to amend the charter Of Nash
vile, over which the city of Nash
vile has been stirred from center to
circumference for several weeks, was
defeated by vote Of II to 10.
Senators Alcorn, Cypert, Hall, Nc
Corkle and West were conspicuous
for their absence. 1t is possible that
all of these Senators were absent from
necessary causes, but there will al
ways be lingering suspicion in some
peoples minds that some of them
didn't have the moral courage to face
the music and vote their convictions
in the matter. 1t may not be the
part of wisdom for towns and cities
to vote subsidies TO railroads, yet we
cal! this a free country, and the
people in Democratic government
should be the arbiters of their own
affairs. We cannot see by what
kind of a process OF reasoning it be
comes justifiable to withhold f on
the city Of Nashville a privilege
granted to all other towns and cite,
in the State. From our reading OF
both sides of the question we arr
convinced that majority of thu
tax payers and best element of thu
citizenship of Nashville favored thu
amendment, and in defeating th'
measure we don't believe the Senat
did the people Of Nashville justice
1t is not at all surprising, however
that legislative body should b.
guilty Of such thing. 1t frequentl.
/ happens thus.
