The elections bill has again been shelved
IN the Senate and the prospect of its final
passage is smaller than ever. Soon after
the Senate met ON Monday Senator AL
drich's closure resolution being then under
consideration, one of the Democratic SEN
ators moved to take up the apportiunment
bill. Mr.. Dolph moved to lay this motion
on the table, but it was rejected by a vote
of 30 nays to "a yeas, and the Democrats
were one more successful Six Republi-
cans voted with the Democrats Jones and
Stewart of Nevada, Walcott and Teller of
Colorado, Don Cameron of PENNSYLVANIA
and Mr.. Washburn of Minnesota. The
only Republican senator who was absent or
impaired was Stanford of California The
fate of the elections bill depends upon his
vote, and the present understanding is that
it will be cast against it.

money gives, that inordinate ambition

take the charitable view that perhaps
the mind which is now in ruins was

Tennessee Tax Laws.

The Nashville Banner contains
from time to time opinions of promi-
nent men in the State as to the best
means of promoting the prosperity OF
Tennessee. The Banners latest on
the subject is as follows Replies con-
tinue to be received at the CONNER
cial Club to the circular sent to proml-
nent men in various parts Of the State
asking their views upon the best
means that could be employed to adj
vance the prosperity of Tennessee and
develop its resources in the next de-
cade even more than the last ten years
witnessed. The following is from the
ex-postmaster of Chattanooga He
writes:
Dear Sir: / can but briefly note
what occurs to my mind as being
most necessary for the growth and
prosperity OF Tennessee in the next
decade.
First-the idea that we must de-
pend upon others and foreign capital
to develop our resources should be
abandoned and a spirit OF self-reliance
encouraged. God helps those who
help themselves.
Second-I contend that the humble
shoemaker, who takes one dollars
worth of leather and with his labor
makes a pair of shoes worth "a, is OF
more valne to the State of Tennessee
than dozen real estate agents, or a
thousand TOWNSHIP boomers.
Third-A few party leaders are
needed in the State, who have the
breadth of mind to comprehend our
needs and the courage to lay aside
their party prejudices long enough to
enact some just and equitable laws, on
economic questions effecting our State
that will make capitalists feel safe in
investing money in enterprises calcu,
lated to enhance our interests and de-
velop our resources. Very respect
fully, A. IT, SHARP
A distinguished Memphis editor
writes that he has not the time to an
swer the replies at length, and there
fore requests that his name be not APP
pended to the brief observations he
presents. He says, however: "The
adequate progress of the State in the
next decade involves radical change
in our methods OF taxation and the
uniting of our capitalists in the State
in an associated effort. 1t is what the
people in the State do for themselves
in the way Of advancement that at
tracts attention abroad. Capital al
WAYS sees an invitation to success. III
the men OF capital in Tennessee show
themselves successful they will not
need to do any thing about it. Success
advertises itself. Take the casel of
North Carolina Its development has
been wonderful, and that success is
due, for the most part, to citizens OF
this State. The same energy concen'
trated upon our resources of iron and
coal would bring about the same re-
suits, Chattanooga is a fine example
of the effort of such concentration.
Knoxville had the start, but Chatta-
nooga, with the newer life and united
action, has far outstripped her"

Northeast of Knoxville at the inter.

the East Tennessee, Virginia and
Georgia, and the Charleston, Gin
cinnati and Chicago Railroads and
at the termini of the East Tennes-
see and Western North Carolina,
and the johnson City and Carolina
Railroads.
The Johnson City and Green's
boro Railroad has bee!l chartered
and preliminary survey made. 1t
is an extension of the Richmond
and Danville line from Greensboro
to Johnson City, via. Wilkesboro.
The Johnson City and Cumber-
land Gap Railroad Company has
been organized.
The Southern and Western Air
Line is building from Shelby, N.
c., to Cranberry, to connect with
our East Tennessee and Western
North Carolina Railroad.
1t is not speculative paper town,
but it is a substantial young city /;
one whose progress within the past
two years bears favorable compari-
son with any other city in the
South.
SOME OF ITS RESOURCES.
Ist. 1t is in the midst of fine
agricultural section. The cereals,
tobacco, the grasses and all kinds of
fruits grow to perfection. There is
no better section for the stockman,
the cattle breeder, or the fruit
grower.
I'd. Lt has at its gates an unlm-
tied supply of the finest timber.
Nearly all of the hard woods
abound in vast quantities An ex-
cellent point for wood working
plants of every description.
sd. 1t is literally hedged IN by
mountains of iron ores. Red and
brown hematite abound in mex
haustible quantities. 1t lies almost
at the base of the Cranberry Noun
tains, for whose celebrated mag
netic ores it is the natural outlet. Its
proximity to the magnetic ores on
the east and coal fields on the west
must certainly make it the steel
making centre of the South.
4th. Limestone is found here in
quantities beyond estimation, and of
the best quality.
9Th. Its railroad facilities will
soon be all that can be desired. 1t
now has four roads, 1.-TWO of which
are great trunk lines) with more to
follow.
9th. Its climate is good and
healthful. Its altitude is 1850 feet
above the level of the sea, and its
scenery is superb.
9TH. 1t has a population, accord
ing to the last census, of 4,16o, an
increase of COZ per cent. over the
census of 1880, when it had only 6S5.

why the Anaconda Shut Down.

j. X. Clarke of Butte, Mont, owner in
part Of several large Montana mines,
among them the celebrated Poorman's
mine in the C9ur d'Alene region, is at
the Ryan, st. Paul. He was asked as
to what was the cause Of the closing
down of the celebrated Anaconda mines.
He replied that there were various ru,
mors going around in Montana in regard
to the mines and that the members or
the company were more close-mouthed
than Dave Hill of New York. ,
"But the supposition is" said he, land
l think it good, that the company shut
down to raise the price Of copper. 1t has
between 100000 and S5,OOO,OOO of the
pure metal on hand at the present time
and while it is anxious to get rid of it, it
is Just as anxious to bull the copper
market. "-Minneapolis Times.

The Corey block will soon be ready

Yesterday the outside of the Beachley
building was practically finished by the
neatly designed galvanized iron piece
which tops it off.
In all its beauty the architecture of
the Tod is beginning to appear, the sec

The gigantic nature of the undertake
ing makes labor on the Townsite & First

a story above the ground, while its OPP

location of the vaults are now plainly

building is the admiration of all be.
