''IT recalls old times" says the
New York Journal, "to get another
taste of Mr.. Cleveland's rhetoric
that style beside whose ponderous
majesty the style Of DIR. Johnson be-
comes flippant and airy. And what
a comfort it is, too, to know that
what he says now carries no official
weight, however heavy it may
otherwise be. Mr.. Cleveland sails
solemnly down to history as the
canal boat of literature"

WHY They OnnOSe 1t.

One Of the most potent reasons for
a constitutional convention is the
necessity for the adoption of con-
stitution which will make railroads
in this State pay in some measure
proportionate to what they are re-
quired to pay in other States. Take
Pennsylvania, for instance. There
is not a cent tax Oh farming lands
in the State. The same is true in
Illinois. In the latter State the
revenue from railroads defrays all
the expenses of State government,
and the State has a railroad COM
mission besides. In Wisconsin, a
State of about the same population
as Tennessee, the railroads, we are
informed, pay a million and half
dollars into the State treasury.
Look at these figures and then con-
slider what taxes the railroads are
paying in Tennessee. The aggregate
railroad tax in this State is not
more than $4,000. The poor farmer,
the producer, is made to bear the
burden of the expense OF the govern
ment, while the rich railroad cor
porations, which take millions OF
dollars from the people every year,
go practically unscratched. We
want constitution that will at least
require proportionate tax and re-
spOnsibility on the part of the rail
roads, and lift some of the burden
from the farmer.
This is why the railroads are OPP
posed to a constitutional conveni
ton. This is why they will be
found in the coming campaign pre-
senting all sorts of adroit reasons
for voting down the proposition to
call convention.-Nashville Sun.

THEY SCORE GEN. SYKES.
The Chickasaw Guards, of Memphis, are
Mad.

Ine OnlChdSHW OuHTNs, OF memphis are
Mad.
MEMPHIS, May 1.-THE Chicka-
saw Guards, practically the father
of the National Guards of Ten
nessee, divorced itself from the
State militia tonight. This action
was taken by unanimous vote of the
company. The officers of the
Guards will tomorrow forward their
designations to the head Of the State
Guard, and the men of the ranks
will make application to be dis
charged from the service. This step
was decided upon at meeting of
the Guards tonight, at which there
was a good attendance.
By special invitation, Gen. Sam
T. Carnes, who was the captain of
the company for fourteen years, and
who made it the crack company of
the State, addressed the meeting to-
night and told the members that
they could not retain their self-re-
spect and remain under the COM
mand of Adjt. Gen. Sykes. He re-
ferred to the action of the Adjutant-
General in bringing the State militia
into politics, and said that the new
military law of the State was out of
accord with the military usages of
the country. He was extremely
severe upon Gen. Sykes for the man
ner in which he had treated the
officers of the brigade.

THE Nashville Sun, not long since,
was charging that the American had
"a dagger up It's sleeve for Governor
Taylor" But last week when the
dagger was discovered, it struck
from the Sun office, strange to say,
and without any real or sufficient
propagation. We are sorry that
somebody having access to the Suns
editorial columns, have eompromised
the paper by allowing their chagrin
and personal spite to get the better

IF Columbia had only one news
paper, and its advertising rates and
subscription price were outrageously
and unreasonably high, and the
citizens were to start another news
paper in self-defense, and then the
old paper should begin to cut rates
in order to break the new paper
down, would it be morally right to
patronize that old paper to the eX-
clusion of the new? We think not.
If there was another great trunk
line railroad within fifty miles of us,
and to get a competing line the citi-
zens of this county should build a
road to the new connection, would it
be right to accept cut rate on the
L. d N, in order to freeze out the
new road? We think not. If the
people of this county were to organ
ize an Insurance Company as a pro-
test against the old line Board
rates." would it be morally right to
insure in one of the old companies
at cut-throat rate, in order to force
the Citizens Company out of bust
ness? We think not. Neither do
we think it morally right for citi-
zens of this town and county to aid
and abet the Bell Telephone mo-
nopoly in their effort to drive the
Citizens Telephone Company from
the field. There is neither consis-
tency nor patriotism in crying aloud
at election times against trusts,
combines and monOpolies, and then
joining them when the crucial time
comes in their effort to trample up
on the people and eXtOrt from them
unjust tolls. The way, and the only
way, to teach monOpolies to respect
the rights of the people, is to show
your patriotism when you have the
opportunity, by standing with the
people in the fight for their rights
and their self-protection. On this
telephone question Mr.. E. H
Hatcher has an interesting article
in another column.

SETTLEMENT WITH THE UNITED
 STATES.

Highly important as is the final con- summation of a settlement with the general government, it would be pur- chased too dearly if we must admit that this result can be reached only on terms that the Iron Mountain Railway Company is to dictate. It has grown to be too much the habit of acquiescing in the results of the corrupt manipula- tions of the representatives of corpor- ate greed because some one can figure it out that it is cheaper in a commer- cial sense to submit than to resist. But where the dignity and independence of the state are involved. and her right to conduct a negotiation with a party with whom she has difference, with out paying tribute to one of her own creatures. commercial considerations alone will not answer the demands of the occasion.
 The promotion of public morality, and the Sanctity of the right to con- tract, free from the corrupt molesta- tion of any stranger to the negotiation, is at stake. and should be preserved, and even if this controversy about the ownership of this disputed 273,OO0 acres of land is never settled. and as a consequence, the Iron Mountain Rail- way will never permit the settlement between the United States and the state to be ratified, the state will not hereafter prove to be greatly the suf- ferer. The matter now stands in an attitude where, after a complete in- vestigation and accounting, the amount of the states indebtedness is shown to be $16O,312 The settlement on this ba- sis has been approved as fair and just by the secretaries of the treasury and of the interior, by the senate of the United States by a practically unani- nous vote. and by the committee on public lands in the house of representa- tiyes in so far as it amounts to a set state is able and willing to pay this whenever the United States is permitted to receive the amount. The state has done everything in her power to bring about settlement of this ancient and complicated account, and now that 1t has been done she is ready to discharge the duty that is imposed upon her in favor of the United States, the party with whom she found it necessary to negotiate She refuses to be black mailed by railroad corporation into giving 1t 16S.000 acres of land, or one acre for that matter.
 She has million acres to give away to honest settlers, but not one for trib- ute. Notwithstanding the inexcusably bad conduct of the railroad company in the matter of this interference, trust that no sense of resentment will be thereby aroused that will prevent the making ef some fair provision for

STATE DEBIT


 The settlement as an adjustment be- tween the state and the general gov ernmeut being satisfactory to these two sovereignties, it's confirmation is being delayed by the interference of private interest adverse to the state. and with these removed. confirmation will surely follow. Consideration of all the surroundings con vinces me that the settlement will be ratified sooner or later. In the meantime this fund should be in vested in some way that 1t will yield or save to the state as much as she must pay as interest on the sum due to the United States. This can be done and ought to be done, by investing the amount in the bonds of the state. pur- chased in the same manner as other funds of the state are invested. Tn this way the fund can be preserved to answer the purposes of the trust Im- pressed upon 1t.
 There are several satisfactory plans by which the state can adjust her un- disputed debt, and take off the mar kets of the world her dishonored but undisputed obligations. It is for you to choose the particular manner in which this must be done. but [ do not believe that proper appreciation of the honor and pride Of the state will leave you much discretion about the propriety of doing 1t in some way.

RAILROAD COMMISSION.

After reviewing the question of railroad commission from a constitu uonal standpoint the governor con- cludes:
 The propiiety of establishing the commission being determined in it's fa- Vor, there remain certain details to which l think 1 ought to make refer ence. In the first place, there is am- Die authority In the general assembly now to organize the commission and to invest it with all the power that any commission can lawfully exercise, no matter how broad the constitutional grant It is intended to introduce. In saying this l am not unmindful that several citizens for whose disinterest- edness and ability I have the highest respect, assert that an amendment to the constitution would render the com mission more effective. The constitu- tioh in the section quoted expressly coIhinands the general assembly to pass laws for the purpose here dis cussed, and under every canon of con- sutuuonal construction this carries Nlth II the power to do everything 'ila' m the Judgment of the general as- seinDly IS fairly calculated to accom- pilsh the major purpose in view. The constitutional provision which is sup posed to be in the way is that which uehies to the general assembly power 'o create permanent state officers oth- er man those expressly provided for III thls constutition.' I suggest in pass ing that the inhibition is against creat- ing others than those ''provided'-no .nose named or enumerated in the con- s'i.ulon. l think it fairly plain that board of railroad commissioners is expressly provided for. if in the judg- nlent or the general assembly that is relulred 10 afford effective compliance Milh the constitutional command con- taihed Tn the section first herein above quoted. But this will not prove to be difnculty of much practical impor- tahce, since the act creating the con- mission may limit its duration to a number or years sufficiently great to saiDie the system to receive a fair

ELECTIONS.

 I repeat the recommendations here tofore made in favor of the consolida- ton of the state and national elections. In our state it harmonizes best with our seasons and industries to hold the election in September, but as we can not control the date on which the na- tional election is to be held, we are left no choice but to change the date of the one under our control. As an abstract proposition it seems to be silly to say that we ought to take two days to express a choice for officers when one would answer as well. But, heretofore, circumstances furnished a very cogent explanation for this appar- ent anomaly. We had upon the Fed eral statute book very oppressive laws regarding elections, and these bad

I take it for granted that you will desire to do something in the way of making our laws for the suppression of prize-fighting more effective, and to suspend and punish officers who connive at or promote their violation. In relation to the first branch of this suggestion. l would say that if you en- counter any difficulty in framing a proper amendment you will make some progress by directing that any citizen. twenty-four hours in advance of the time set for combat, furnish Chancellor Martin the names of the principals.

CONCLUSION.


 I have been deeply gratified by the many generous expressions of com- mendation that my friends have been pleased to bestow upon my admins tration of the office from which I am now about to retire. Whilst I go out carrying with me many obligations that will make me anxious for ample opportunities to reward my friends, very little has transpired to make me anxious to punish my enemies, nor has this undesirable class been greatly augmented. as l am pleased to say.
 My successor has been chosen in the person of one of our ablest and most worthy citizens. His opinions and in- stincts will all lead him to desire the promotion of the public good. and ask for him your constant and gener- ous assistance.
 Invoking the blessing of the Divine Master on you and your work and Ills charity and forgiveness for my num- berless shortcomings, bring this mes. sage to close.

This remarkable dance has created tre- mendous sensation, as have the other dances which will be performed by Mme. Hermann.

IA man fell in fit yesterday at the corner of Washington and Center streets. Those who reached him first thought he was dead, but when slight, but almost undistinguishable pulse beat indicated a spark of life a physician was sent for. After a careful examination of the stranger, he said that the cause of the trouble was eating indigestible Hood, com pounded by ignorant and incompetent cooks. His case, the physician said, was serious, but by no means hope less. He wrote a prescription direct ing him to take his meals at Dow sings Grill Room and Cafe, 36 East Adams street, which had fortunately just been opened. Sig: Three times daily.
