THERE is one of those straws in the
entire absence of any opposition of the
railroad lobby to the measure proposing
to tax their land grant which should in
dicate TO legislators the direction of the
wind. If there weren't some PomDey in
the woodpile>~the halls would swarm
with their agents, striving to save their
millions of acres from taxation. 1t is
said that the president of one of the
roads said that I'VE must get rid of that
gross earnings tax somehow" Another
consideration is that these counties are
going through just what the older coun-
ties have been through, all of which
had to develop with large areas of ex-
empt railroad lands in them.

A COLORADO wool grower writes to
the St Louis Republic that he has a
flock Of 1000 sheep, the value of whose
clip has been reduced under protec-
tom from 1917 cents to II and IL, and
declares that he is an out-and-out free
trader. On the other hand, the Wooden
Manufacturers association declared the
other day that the tariff on wool was
benefit to the manufacturer, the wool
grower and the consumer. The Colorado
shepherd should be sent copy of the
resolution by the secretary of the associ-
alton by the earliest mail. 1t might save
him from the awful fate of being an
out-and-out free trader.

One Of the incidents in the career of
Justice LAMAR which stamps him as a
statesman was his refusal to obey the
command of the legislature of his state,
Mississippi, to support the initiation bill
which congress fastened to pass after
the panic of 1878. Notwithstanding this
he was reelected. 1t is an example
which shines by its rarity. 1t takes
greatness of mind and courage of rare
order to withstand the tide of popular
impulse, and adhere to what is sound
and right in TIE face of the clamorous
crowd. SUMNER did it, and SO did

President to Have Country Home

WAsHfNaToN, d. C.-The President
and Mrs. Cleveland are going to have
home in the country as they did four
gears aga. By the end of the present
month 1t Is expected that the Middleton
house on the Woodley lane road will be
ready for their occupancy.
The house is large old-fashioned
structure, ioomy, comfortable, and oc.
cupying an ideal location. 1t is nearer
the city than Oak View, which was the
home of the President during his former
Administration.
The house stands on an elevated knoll
surrounded with fine old oaks. 1t is
some distance back from the road, and
commands an extended view of the roll
ing country to the north, perhaps the
most striking and picturesque section OF
the famou. Rock Creek region. From
the windows there is one of the most
charming and striking views of the city
to be found in this vicinity.
In every way the house is larger than
the oIe at Oak View. There are some
thirty acres OF land about the house, and
il Mr.. Cleveland is inclined to agricul-
tural pursu is he can have ample swing
| for his funcv in this direction.

Yes, We Want Immigrants.

Of the 375, 900 immigrants who landed
at New York last year it is said that
much less than the one nsindredth part
came to the Southern States. Only 1855
OF them came to South Carolina. The
Memphis Commercial makes the point
that 'ft is not altogether an unmixed
evil that the South has shared but little
of the great and increasing tide of for.
eign immig, ation," and this is very true.
We need more people in the South.
There is an empire here for development
and there are opportunities possessed by
no other section of this great country,
but II we would develop the South on
the right lines-if would preserve the
civilization of the South and the homo
gently of the Southern people-it must
Be accomplished by the proper regula-
tion of the people who are brought here.

A NEGRESS GETS $500 DAMAGES
A Southern Conductor Forced Her to
Ride in the Second Glass Car.

NEW YoRK.-A jury in the United
States Court awarded Mack w. Caldwell,
negress of Brooklyn, $500 damages
against the East Tennessee, Virginia and
Georgia Railroad Company, because a
conductor forced her to ride in the car
provided for negroes. Caldwell and her
three chill IN had provided themselves
with first class tickets from johnson City,
Tenn, to Chicago. The conductor fore
ed her to take the "Jim Grow" for ne
groes, where she said had been annoyed
by profanity and unseemly conduct of
the other passengers. Her husband
brought suit for 5000 damages against
the railroad company, and the case came
to trial Thursday. The defense was that
the laws of Tennessee permitted com
pany to provide separate cars for people
of different color.
Judge Wallace in charging the jury ex

BOUNDARY LINE OF TWO STATES.
The Supreme Court Refuses TO Set
Aside the Compact of 1903.


WASHINGTON, ID. C.-In 1889 At
bill with the Supreme Court of the
Tennessee was exercising jurisdiction un-
two to eight miles wide from the North
Carolina line, q du, wet course in lati-
tude 80 degrees 80 minutes north to tho
Kentucky line.
In the territory described Ayers claim
ed that selious conflicts of jurisdiction
bad arisen, especially over matters con-
1ected with the towns of Bristol, Tenn,
and Goodson, Va, and nc asked that an
agreement between the States of Vir.
ginia and Tennessee, under which the
boundary line had been established in
1903, be declared null aud void and that
Virginia be quietcd in poss ssion of the
disputed territory, lying north of PARALLEL
80 degrees 80 minutes.
In an elaborate opinion by Justice
Field the Supreme Court 70 has declined
to grant the prayer of Virginia, going into
the historical facts eXhaustively and dis
cussing the law involved briefly. The
court held that inasmuch rs the two
States had in 1903 adopted the report OF
the boundary commission; that the com
pact had been implicitly ratified by the
Congress of the United States and that
fer period Of more than S5 years the
line laid down by the boundary com
mission had been recognized rs the true
boundary, il would +, fuse the petition oI
Virginia to now establish new one.
Any mark on the old line that may
have be come indistict or been destroyed,
Justic. Field sid, could, by proper
pro ,ccding at this term Of the court, bs
