THE DAMAGE TO PROPERTY.


The damage done TO shipping and property
NAV safely be classed as stupendOus. About
two-hfths Of the island was under cultivation
and the mountain slopes were covered with
forests All the cultivation and al. the forests
in the path of the hurricane appear TO have
been sweptaway. The numeroussugar coffee,
cotton and cocoa plantations which have tolt
the forcs Of the torn ado seem to have been
utterly destroyed. Houses and barns. store.
houses and stables have been crushed out or
existence. and considerable period must
elapse before the island RECEIVERS from It's ter
rible visitation.
Every hour adds to the list Of horror al-
ready long enough TO startle anybody. Some
of tho poorer classes Of people hove lost their
all and the same may be said OF number OF
the richer planters.

THE recall of the Italian minister
from Washington has caused con-
siderable excitement all over the
country and is looked upon by some
as Indicative of war. This action
on the part of Italy is attributed to
the killing of the members of the
Malta at New Orleans recently and
the failure of the courts of our
country to give them that justice to
which Italy claimed they were en-
titled. Is it possible that Italy will
involve herself into trouble Oh ac-
count of these treacherous and
dangerous members of the Malta?
We hope for her own good she will
not be so foolish.

"REFoRE AND AFTER"

Quoting the above, We rise to in
quire, have you reviewed the recent
session of the Tennessee legislature?
When men are elected in a general
way, the people expect only a gen.
eral return; elected on a platform
to carry out principle, it is expect
ed that every man Will do his duty.
A legislature must be judged by its
Acts, with a capital A. If the re-
form was not accomplished that
was expected, there is failure. Then
comes the inquiry, what caused
that failure? Did the lobby get the
grippe on some of those sent to the
Tennessee center of legislative oper-
atlonsf Part of the people cannot
shake off the grip readily. They
are too weak. 1t is evident
the lobby hypnoted some of the
The Bolivar bulletin. (Bolivar, Tenn.) 1888-1946, 1891-04-03

gentlemen elected to effect reform.
The lobby is as the tail to the dog:
The dog wags the tail till the appen-
dage looms up and wags the other
end. This must not be construed
as a reflection upon the legislators
in general. There were good and
true men there, but like Mrs. Par
tlngton with her broom trying TO
sweep out the sea on a rising tide.
they were powerless.

The Legislature and the Dog.

1t is astonishing how deep-seated is the
prejudice of the ave rage legislator in ia
vor of the worthless dog, and how great
is his antipathY to the sheep. No nse to
deny it. A mans lips may deceive the
people, but his vote shows his sentiment.
The farmers of Tennessee need protection
for their sheep, and need it badly, and
their only remedy is by legislative enact
ment. The greatest favor the legislature
could have done the farming class would
have been to enact good dog law. But
they are afraid to go on record on this
subject. They do not want to offend the
feelings of negroes and ."one-gallused"
scalawag white men whose chief produc-
ton is dogs.
Under proper protection from dogs the
sheep interests In Tennessee would grow
rapidly, aud in very few years over FIVE
millions of dollars would annually flow
into the pockets of the farmers from this
industry in excess of what they now re-
ceive. In addition to the money received
from the sale of wool and lambs, the
farms would be greatly benefited by the
fertiljzing effect of sheep. The sheep is
an EN- blem of innocence, thrift and refine
ment, and the dog of ferocity, idleness
and barbarism. There is no money in
him.. his fesh is not fit for food, his hair
is worthless and his hide not worth taking
off. The food he consumes if fed to pigs
would bring many dollars every year
He is not necessity, and ought to be
taxed as luxury, or regulated or abated
as a nuisance.-Nashville American,

THE appropriation of five thous-
and dollars for Il survey of the best
route to connect the Tennessee river
with the Mississippi by a canal to
the Forked Deer or Big Hatchie
has been made by the legislature,
through the untiriDg efforts of Rep
resentativs Trice of Chester. The
BULLETIN has information that a
line from a point near Pocahontas
on Hatchie TO point on the Teu>
nessee near Shiloh battle ground is
the shortest and best route. With
such a canal opened we could get
our coal for one fourth the present
rate aed sell our tim Der at greatly
increased prices. If HateGie river
is selected as the channel down
which to float the iron and coal of
the upper Tennessee regions, il
would become more valuable to
