Legislative Extremists.

AS we have had reason for some
time to fear, the legislature is over
doing the matter Of railroad legis-
lation. There seems to be a
perfect frenzy on the part of the
members, a kind of jealous rivalry
to see who can introduce the most
stringent, and, we must say, the
most unjust measures for the
regulation of the railroads.
While we recognize the necessity
for laws that will compel railroad
companies to observe the rights Of
citizens and prevent extortionate
rates, discrimination and. abuse of
monopoly, we must, at the same
time, recognize the right of the
companies to control their own
property, and we regard any leg
islation beyond what is required to
prevent injustice or imposition, as
an arrogant and ridiculous assump-
ton of power that does not legally
belong to Legislative body. It is
true that the legislature can enact
laws that will render it practically
impossible for the companies to
operate their roads, but the only
result of such laws will be to de-
prive the farmers Of their means of
transportation and entail great
losses on not only the railroads, but
every branch of business. Iowa is
suffering the fruits of a legislature
composed of fools and tools, who
framed a set of laws that has cost
the State millions of dollars, every
dollar of which, in the end, comes
out of the very class in whose in
terest the laws were ostensibly
passed. Minnesota can not afford
to walk in the footsteps of Iowa,
and if a dozen or two wooden
headed political accidents, who oc-
cupy seats in the legislature are
not sat upon soon it would have
been better for us that the old
capitol ring had been permitted to
hold sway. If this rabble Of the
sans ce1zotte, headed by Donnelly
and permeated by an incipient
spirit of communism is permitted

The following extract from a
letter to the editor by Register

office will be of interest to people
interested in the Mile Laos reser-.
walton, so-called.
For the information of your readers
will say that we are this day in receipt
OF letter from the general land Office.
from which the following is an extract.
''You will allow no entries or filings
for lands within what is known as the
Mile Laos reservation, until YOU re-
ceive further instructions from this Of
flee, but entries and filings already
thereon may be proceeded with as
directed by the accompanying decis-
ion.'
The decision here referred to is the
decision of Hon. Secretary of the In
terror, dated January 8, 1891, in the
case of Amanda J. Walters, ct al, and
G. W. M. Reed ct al. This decision
allows and orders the final adjustment
of all claims existing at the date there
of, looking to a final adjustment of the
whole matter. This decision does not
change the status of the ''squatters',
claims that have been inaugurated
since the passage of the act of July 4,
1884, but has reference only to the
claims of record at the time of the pas
sage of the act referred to. It is evil

an early opening to filings and entries
and am in hopes that it will not be
long before the settlers who have gone
on the reservation in good faith will
get their rights. I do not know what
arrangements will be made for the
adjustment and settlement of the filings
made since the act of congress approved
July 4th, 1884, but some action will no
doubt be taken which will give all a
fair chance. The further instruc-

1t is a lucky thing that there are
not many more appointments to be
made, as Minnesota would be all
torn up again every time a man is
an applicant for a place. It is
sometimes asserted that some In

influence in the White House than
all the Minnesota delegation put
together, and from the way things
work it would not be strange if
this was a fact. --....

Are Won GOing To The Fair?

If you are, please take time to ex-
anime the Morgan Spading Har-
rows, the best pulverizers in the
world.
The action of these harrOws Is
similar to that of gang of spades,
each cutter lifting aud turning the
soil from depth Of to inches,
doing more perfect work than is
possible with any other harrow in the
world. 1t leaves no burrows or ridges,
such as is left by disc and cutGaOay
harrows. When your field is har-
rowed, it is left perfectly smooth.
Works we'll in all classes OF land wet,
clay, sandy, stony and sodded, and In
oats, wheat, corn or other stubble
| ground.
Although the work is greater and
better than that performed by disc
harrOws, still by reason of the pecu-
liar construction of the blades or
spades, the draft is lighter. These
harrows are strong and durable, and
Sre selling strictly on their merits.
Some of our claims may seem eX-
travagant, but we know what we are
talking about, and can prove our
assertion. All we ask is chance to
show our harrow before you buy.
Yours in the lead.

Faith.
At the Second Presbyterian Church
last Sabbath DR.. Mitchell delivered a
most interesting discourse from the
text l. Kings II chapter ZIG verses:
The subject, that beautiful story of
Elijah by the brook Cherith, is full of
useful lessons to us all. The DIR.
dwelt upon these in his usual happy
style. First Elijah's faith in God
when the waters of the brook began
to fail; also the widows trust, when,
Notwithstanding the distressed con-
ditiOn of her circumstances, she di-
vides, as she supposes, her last NOR
sci, with the Prophet. After dwell
| ing feelingIy upon this view of the
subject, he took up the lesson of obe-
dience, as also taught. The Prophets
unquestioning yielding to the divine
command. An appropriate instance
was here brought in with effect.
Gen. HaslOck's son being commanded
| by his father to remain on LONDON
Bridge until he returned from a
business appointment, forgotten by
| his father, remained in unquestiOn-
ing obedience until a late hour,
| awaiting permission to leave. One
lesson specially dwelt upon by the
speaker as taught by this portion OF
little things. "NOt sparrow falleth''
&c. AT the close of this interesting
discourse DIR. Mitchell appealed to
those who were in distress, as a GER
tain panacea for their ills, to do all in
their power to relieve the sufferings
Of others. The widow of Cherith
devides her last morsel with the
Prophet, and 10! her barrel is never
empty; For the heart grows rich
with giving:
"AlI its wealth is living grain,
Seeds, which mildew in the garner,
Scattered, fill with gold, the plain"

There is great deal of specula-
tive talk about Hal Pointer, aud it is
hard to learn what his future pros
pecty are. The American of last
sunday contains the following:
The mishap to Hal Pointer is caus-
ing much interest in this State, and
especially here in middle Tennessee,
where he was foaled. He broke q
blood vessel i'll his head, and it is
questionable whether he will ever be
able to hold his own again i'll con-
test with such fast horses as YolO
Maid, Johnson, Dallas, Direct, etc.
1t is hoped, however, by every one
that he will come around all right in
the end" Then, in another part OF
the same paper, we find this telegram
from Lexington, KY: 1.-THE Licking
ton Jockey Club to-day announced a
2:0934, and Direct, 2:06. The race
will probably be for S., ZOO a side with
s., 900 added by the Lexington ky J
Association, over whose track the
race will be paced"
-Clopton won another hard fought
race at MurfreesbOro last Saturday.
MontrOse was second. Best time
2:241S.
1T was somewhat of q surprise to
the talent at MurfreesborO last week
when Muse & McAdams gave the
reins to their McCurdy Hambletonian
FLY Blontonian and let her knock the
bottom out OF the two -year-old record
by trotting q mile on q half mile
track, in 2:22M. She distanced her
field, OF course. The reason for let
ing her go 80 fast was that she had
been lame and it had taken consider
able pains to get her in fix, and 1t WAS
thought best to let her make her
record while she could; she might go
lame again. Ii is nearly always best
to do this. There is no money in
cam paigning horses. All a sensible
and fair breeder starts after is the
record, and he ought to take it when
he can. A great many horses fail to
ever amount to anything because
they are not allowed TO 60 when they
can; then they get hurt OF. go lame
and cant. More horees are lost than
money is made by this holding back
policy.

AT present Giles and Maury are in

renee, Hardin, Wayne, Hickman and
Lewis. The Columbia bar held q

uuence, Messrs. @. T. Hughes, George
Taylor, p. H. Southall, J. e. VOor-
hies, Judge E. ID. Patterson and At
torney-General J. l.. Jones went up to
Nashville and appeared before the
Senate Judiciary Committee to OPP
pose the change. They stated to the
committee that, though Judge Pat
tersOn really has more than he can
GO comfortably, they would greatly
prefer the circuit to remain as at
present for awhile. After listening to
the visiting lawyers, the bill was
amended to compose the new district
of Hickman, Williamson, Dickson
and Cheatham counties.
