recent trouble at Brlcevllle. The
objects that will demand the most
serious consideration is embraced
in the first, secondhand fifth sections.
Thequestion of granting the Gov
ernOr power to pat the State under
marshal law and to declare war on
his own responsibility, involves
serious problem for consideration.
In those States where the Govern
Or is clothed with this power of au-
thority he is often compelled 10y
plutocratic bulldozing to order out
the militia to shoot down wages,
and events have occurred Within
the past few years where American
citizens have been thus needlessly
butchered and property destroyed
because the chief executive in the
hour of greatexcitement dad not re-
sist the pressure brought to bear
on him by the interested operators.
Our present Governor could prob
ably be depended on in such an
emergency, but as we do not know
who our next Governor will be or
what the future may develop, would
it be advisable to allow the chief
executive 10 begin war by mobiliz-
ing the militia without the consent
of the people through the general
assembly. The sheriff is the main
stay of our government, and the
sheriff and posse can enforce the
law when that law is based on JUS
tice and equal rights. First repeal
the law that has created the trouble.
The people do not endorse a law
that proVokes strife between free
labor and system of slavery.
The prevailing sentiment over
the State and elsewhere is that il
is a hardship for free labor to be
brought into contact with convict
labor, and that the convict-lease
system should be done away with
Again if the law is repealed, there
is no place now to take the convicti
as greater part of the penitentiarJ
building at Nashville was burned
some time ago and it would cost the
State probably $150,000 to rebuild
On the other hand, if the genera
assembly does not repeal the peni
tentiary-lease law, the State Will b.
forced to maintain a standing army
in the mining region of Coal Creel
to preserve peace and enforce thu
law, and the people of Tennessee,
would, in this event, be heavily tax
, ed to meet the expense. But tn
people are not going to hire al
army for anybody, and here anoth
er problem for our Legislators pre-
sents itself. Ii the law is repealed
. the operators will demand heav
: damages for the abrogation Of thei
lease. The man or men who sue

' win fame not only in Tennessee bu

l just what will be done with tn
apportionment bill remains to b

THE GORDON CUMmING VERDICT.

The Jury In the baccarat case has found
against the plaintiff, the effect Of the verdict
being that Sir William Gordon Cumming
cheated at cards. The form of the cheating
was in coneealing counters while playing
so that he could present them if he won and
withhold them if he lost. The presumption
from the first has been that Cumming
would be found guilty. 1t is not by any
means so clear that he is guilty. The fact
that the Prince of Wales, who was banker
in the games the plaintiff was charged with
cheating at, testified that ne saw nothing
wrong, raises the doubt if the witnesses who
testified against the plaintiff may not have
been mistaken. The letter which the plain
tiff signed, promising never again to play at
cards. would be more conclusive in this
country than in England. In this country
we have little of that reverence for rank or
persons which might be held to require one
man to sacrifice himself for another. But
most Englishmen will understand the feel
ing that may have prompted Cumming to
sign such letter in the belief that it was
the only means by which the affair could be
kept secret The Prince of Wales, repre-
senting the principle of royalty, upon which
mobiles rest their claim to distinction,
which Cumming belonged, be protected at
whatever cost to persons of inferior rank.
The letter was signed, too. in the belief that
it would be kept secret. But the evidence
shows that the secret leaked out through
the Prince himself At all events, woman,
who had been invited to the Wilson resi-
dence at the request of the Prince, is the
first person outside Of the witnesses to the
letter who knew that the charge had been
made and hushed up. The Prince may ind
his gambling propensitieS a menace to his
future, but this may cause him less anxiety
than the presumption in the popular mind
that he betrayed friend who had maize a
great sacrifice in his behalf Whether Cum
ming was innocent or guilty, the fact is not
disputed that all the parties knowing of the
pledge Cumming had given were bound to

FOUR QUESTIONS.

The Labor Commissioner is about to In
vestigate the industries in which women
and girls are employed. The four pri ncipal
points of inquiry are these: How many
are employed? What wages do they re-
ceive? What are their moral and social
conditions? How may their present condi-
ton be improved? To the first, second and
fourth of these questions no objection can
be offered Investigation under the third
head should be carefully conducted. A
woman who works for living is entitled to
the presumption that her moral standing is
good. She has right to expect that the
consideration will be given her that is given
a man against whom no charges have been
made. 1t is not probable that the Labor
Commissioner will pursue an unfriendly
investigation. He certainly will not pro-
coed upon the assumption that he has right
to ask questions which imply doubt Of the
moral standing Of portion of the women
employed in given industry. Neither can
he report thaLof 100 women and girls en-
pl0yed in such and such an establishment 80
are thoroughly reputable.

FINANCIAL CRANKs.

The following is going the round Of the
press:
When such men as Mr. John d. Rockefeller
boast that they are watching for cranks" on
the subject OF finance, they would do well 10 call
10 their dogs aud turn them after legislative
brlbers and corruptrrs of tie ballot These are
far more dangerous than cranks, who may be
honestly wrong In their opinions.
There is good reason why such men as
Mr.. John d. Rockefeller do not turn their
dogs on legislative brbers and corrupters
Of the ballot There is not one of these
men, from Vanderbilt down, who has not
bribed legislators and corrupted voters. If
there is one who has not done such things
in person he has done them through agents.
Mr.. John D. Rockefeller has made 500. O00.-
600 within twenty years. He is the father
of trusts. He conceived the idea of cOmbin-
ing several oil companies in one OrganiZa-
ton which would be powerful enough TO fix
the price of the product. He succeeded in
effectiug the combination, but much of the
power it has exercised was derived from its
influence over legislative bodies and courts.
Mr.. John ID. Rockefeller may have never
bargained for a judicial decision. or have
offered consideration for a legislative vote,
but he has profited immensely by such
transactions. lie has favored plans also
that were based upon the assumption that
courts and legislative bodies could be
bought. These are the men now who talk
the loudest about an honest dollar. Moth
ing worries them so much as the apprehension
that the silver dollar, which has been legal
tender from 1891 to 1891, except the six years
between 1872 and 1873, will become, by CON-
mon usage, the dollar of commerce. These
men have bad the word "gOld" put in all
contracts TO pay money, that they may
legally exact gold frNm debtors should gold
ever get to premium. 1t is these men also
who derisively speak of the friends of the
silver dollar as financial cranks. With
most Of them common honesty is an evil
I dence Of alteration Of mind. 1t may be
added that it is only in rare cases that one
Of them has gwen this evidence Of brain
trouble.

DRAWING TO A CLOSE.

A Chicago dispatch says that the con-
test for the office OF Chief Of the
horticultural Department of the Worlds
Fair is drawing TO a close. 1t is ako
stated that Irving NJ. Scott is in Chi
cage, and is giving his support to Maxwell.
Mr. Scott probably finds himself in the posi-
ton one of the members OF the San Fran
cisco Worlds Fair Association represented
himself as being in. The latter said he did
not know anything about Maxwell, but he
did know Mike de Young. mike" said
the gentleman, runs his paper to reward
his friends and punish his enemies. He can
inflict very serious injury upon person
who has large interests in this community"
Irving NJ. Scott has very large interests in
this community. As the President OF the
Union Iron Works Company he would nat
urally prefer not to antagOnize man who
runs his paper to reward his friends and

THE DOLLAR LI1uT.

The EreuiHg Post says that unless some
thing is done san Francisco Hiu continue
another year in its present disgracefuI con-
djdon. THE CALL objects TO this state
ment on two grouuds-fTst. the present con-
dition of San Francisco is not disgracelul,
and second, that the money is provided to
improve its present condition. The tax
basis last year was S230. 600, 600; this year it
viii be S250O00,O00. The per cent tax on
$50, 600, 900 win return $500, 600 in revenue.
About one-haf as much more viii result
from a L per cent tax on the difference be-
tween tie Auditors estimate and tho total
assessment. We have thus 100000 more
this year than last. When We come to eX-
peuditures we are relieved from the item Of
election expenses, which last year consumed
$4,000 There is therefore in sight for
ordinary expenses $4,000 in addition to
the amount which carried the city creditably
through last year. These figures, however,
will have noinluence upon the Post. Some
years ago that journal ran tilt against the
dollar limit. and apparently proposes to JUS
tify the fact Of its existence by breaking
down this barrier against high taxation.

cattle and hogs also, he will sell his grain
and let some other man fatten cattle and
hogs When food products go up labor
looks the same way. Ii it does not get
rise the first year of high prices it will the
second. If labor does not rise the army of
laborers will turn their attention to grain
raising. The cause of the laborer never
looks so desperate as when food products
Of all kinds are low. There is then nothing
to which he can turn his hand as a means
of escape from poorly paid wage labor But
the curious part of this lament over rising
prices is the fancy of the writer in attrbut-
ing it to the Mckinley tariff According to
him the Mckinley bill caused short crops
in Europe and consequent high prices for
grain in America.
