ACCORDING to the Sentinel the avant
Courier of prosperity has reached
Knoxville. 1t says that there is now
in the courts of erection buildings in
the burnt district to the amount Of
5000, 900, a market house hat will cost
$50, 900, a bridge 1925, 900, two school
houses $4,000 each. Hard times must
certainly be losing their grip that such
mammoth enterprises are projected and
undertaken. We certainly think that
in the near future there will certainly
be a general revival of business and in
dustrial activity. When the tariff is
adjusted on Republican lines, ~allaying
all feelings of uncertainty and insecu-
rity, the wheels will begin to turn every.
where, and money will be abundant,
labor will be employed and the farm
ers will have no trouble in disposing
of their surplus. The fresh impetus at
Knoxville is a straw that shows that
the wind is beginning to blow in the
right direction. And we may expect
to hear of similar outbreaks in other
places. The day is breaking.

1T has been boiled down to this: The
raoilroad commission was created for
tho special purpose of providing four
fat offices for four of Roberts special
friends. On account of this legislative
scandal and the popular indignation it
will arouse, coupled with the fact that
the State has been bankrupted by
Democratic Encouragement and i'm
becillty, the acting Governor is seri.
ously thinking of Sinking his large
part of the responsibility by resigning
the Office to which he was never elected.

Knoxville, May IA special from
Sevieryille announces a Wholesale Jail
delivery there last night, six desperate
criminals escaping. Deputy Sheriff Da-
ley was in charge of the Jail. He went
into the corridor late yesterday after
noon for the purpose of locking the men
IN their cells. BY inadvertance he left
his arms in the Jail office, and the pris-
oners seemed to realize that fact. No
sooner had he entered the corridor than
the men were upon him and overpower-
cd him. They secured the keys from the
officer, placed him in a cell and effected
their escape.

OOPS on THE WAR PATH.

Hot Shot Poured Into Lcwelling and the
Legislature.
Wichita, Kas., May 1G-The Popu,
lists of this county had n mass meeting
here for the purpose of in~terrogating
ex Gov. l.. d. Lewelling, now State
Senator, and Representative from this
county, with reference to their actions
in the Legislature on maximum freight
rate legislation.
Several speeches were made and in
nearly all of them Lewelling became
the target for keen i%nnuendoes and
then the Legislature was scored I'M
mercifuily.
Lewelling finally spoke in his own
defense, saying he had lived fifty years
with a reputation, but now, in his de
clining years, he was charged with
corruption and boodling. He denied
his guilt and added: II did o ask
this position at your hands; you forced
me to represent you" He said he
would resign the office Of Senator be
fore the next election.
Senator Lewelling was one of those
charged before the recent legislative
investigation at Topeka with boodling.
Before the meeting adjourned, resolu
tions calling upon Gov. Leedy to gath.
er around him ''the wise and honest
men of the party" to frame an honest
and just maximum freight rate law,
were adopted.

That RumOr of Resignation,

Gov. Taylor should say right now
whether or not it is his intention to re
sign the Office of Governor. The peo-
pie who elected him had a right to
know this before it became, as it has,
a matter of private gossip among news-
paper reporters and those who are on
terms of personal intimacy with the
Governor. If it is really his intention
to resign, with only the present lights
before us, it seems an extraordinary
proceeding, and the question is ma
turally asked, Why did he accept a
nomination and make a successful race
if he was so soon thereafter to resign?
Does he not place a higher estimate
upon his obligations to the people who
have in this and other instances so
signally honored him than a resigns-
ton would implyY Until he has him

Sham l%nQuests.

The Coroner's jury which sat" on
the lynched bodies of the negro women
near jeff, Ala, returned the old fami-
liar verdict, Game to their death at
the hands of parties unknown" This
means, of course, that there was no
real effort made to discover the mem
bers of the mob. The Coroner's inquest
was a sham. All inquests in lynching
c~ases-with the bare possibility of q
thrillingly rare and radiant exception
are shams. The only thing accom-.
plished by them is the securing of the
Coroner's fee. The verdict is the same
old stereotyped sham. We know of one
instance in which some of the mem.
bers of the mob who lynched a man at
night served on the jury of inquest the
next morning. The Coroner puttered
about for a while, asking a few foolish
questions of people who knew nothing
and then the able jury complacently
returned the verdict, Game to his
death at the hands of parties un.
known. NASHVILLE Banner.

Were Allowed.

Is cry StronS, anu u haulcal Measure
Might Be Passed if Free Action
Were Allowed.
WASHINGTON, May 16.-The proceed.
ings in the Senate next week are by no
means settled. All will depend upon
the course the Cuban question may
take. Mr.. Morgan's joint resolution
occupies the favored place on the cal
endar and there is little doubt that it
will be taken up at the appointed hour
on Monday. Still there is a slight pos.
sibility that the expected message of
the President may cause a postpon.
ment, and that the character of his
recommendations may have a bearing
that will influence the tenor of the res.
olution that will ultimately be adopted.
The Alabama Senator will not stand
in the way of action in accordance with
such a recommendation as the Presi-
dent NAV make upon this subject, but
he will insist that it shall be indepen.
dent of his resolution providing for
recognition of Cuban belligerency.
The debate on the Cuban question
will be OF UNCERTAIN duration. 1t may
continue practically all the week and
it may come to a very sudden and
speedy termination. There is little Or
will pass when a vote is reached. There
will be some opposition and the plea
will be made that any material aid
given in accordance with executive
recommendation is all that can be rea-
sonably expected.
