RELIGIOUS NEWS.

Few people know that John
Wesley was ever in America. Few
know that it was he, and not Robert
Raikes, who established the first
Sunday school in the world. 1t was
John Wesley who preached the first
Methodist sermon delivered in the
United States. In The Ladies'
Home Journal for June Rev. w. J.
Scott will tell in the Great Per-
sonal Events series the story of
when John Wesley Preached in
Georgia, - which is said to be one of
the most interesting narratives in
this most successful series.

FREQUENT requests come to this
office, asking that attention be called
to the depredations committed at
Rose Hill every Sunday. Not only
are graves repeatedly robbed of
flowers put there by loving hands,
but an ill-mannered, rude set seem
to be fond of making this sacred
ground their Sunday loafng place,
and they indulge in more loud laugh
ing and running and rOmping than
is allowed in any we'll regulated
public park. In compliance with
these requests we have frequently
called attention to this behavior,
but those in authority appear to give
little concern to it. Now we would
like to know the reason why? Why
is this Dissertation of the home of
the dead and this insult to the liv-
ing tolerated? Is it nobody's bust
ness to prevent it? If not, why not
make it somebody's business? Is it
not a part of the sexton's duty? If
not, it should be, and he should be
held to rigid account for the be-
havior on those grounds. If heneeds
police powers, the Trustees should
apply to the Board and get them for
him. Certainly this matter can be
corrected if the cemetery officials
will determine to have it done. And
besides, these grounds being within
a mile of the corporation line, our
police have jurisdiction there, aud
we venture the suggestion that ono
of them might be spared from the
public square long enough to visit
Rose Hill on Sunday afternoon.
What a blessing it would be IL all
men could be made to remember
that "a public Office is public trust. 3"

The enemies of the proposition to
call a Constitutional Convention,
are projecting into the discussion all
sorts of imaginary mistakes the con
vention might make. The time to
discuss those questions Is not yet.
First, vote to call the convention,

we will have another vote
upon the one proposed, and if
the cranks have gotten in their
work and we do not like it, we can
refuse to adopt it.

THE patriotic people of Columbia
and Maury County are on their
mettle. 1t is bad enough, they
think, to have Wall street controll-
ing their finances, and the Protec-
tive Barons taxing the sweat Of
their brows; but when a foreign
corporation comes to their doors to
starve out home enterprise, and a
cooperative one, organized not for
profit but self-prOtection, why that
is simply something that can't be
did, in this good county of Maury.
Our people amt built that way.

No. 2 white corn brings 20 to 81
cents in Kansas, and is quoted at ST..
Louis % to %. Ohio River points
26 to 28 cents, but is above the mar
ket in this vicinity, being offered in
small lots and bringing 35 to 40 cts.
Large quantities are still in farmers

dealers confidently predict lower
figures will move same as soon as
seeding is over and hauling begins.

Crazed by Bryan's Defeat.

L. d. Allen, one of the prominent
free silver men in Webster City, Ia,
was taken to the insane asylum at
Independence. He joined the free
silver party just after the nominal
ton of Bryan, and since the defeat
of that candidate he has brooded over
the result until his mind became af-
fected to such degree that it was
thought best to try the treatment at
the State institution.

WHILE this merry telephone war
is on, there is consolation in the
thought that it is saving to the peo-
pie of this town and county not less
than 5000 month that used to go
into the plethoric purses of the
Cumberland Telephone Company.
And there is further consolation in
this; that the Citizens Telephone
Co., is doing all it ever intended or
was expected to do; that is, giving
cheap and satisfactory service, max
ing expenses, and extending it's
lines, slowly but surely, to the re-
motest parts of the county. We
flatter ourselves that the Citizens
can stand this game as long as the
Cumberland can, and that the
starving" process would last a long
time at this rate.

JUDGE PATTERsoN's action in eX-
cusing one of the petit juries
from attendance upon Court this
week, is highly commendable. He
will doubtless take the same action
next week, and as often as the bust
ness of his Court will allow. By
this practice of economy the Judge
saves the taxpayers about $l8 per
day and he is of the opinion that
the County Court could save the tax
payers ten or twelve hundred dol
lars year, if they would appoint
only one jury instead of two, with
out the slightest interference with
the workings of the Circuit Court.
The County Court had better aban-
don their altogether impractical
bond scheme, and turn their atten-
tion to such practical reforms as
may be found from this example.

Few grain growers in this country
are aware of the extent of the wheat
raised in France. With an area of
40 thousand square miles less than
the single state of Texas, France
produces nearly $50 million bushels
of wheat, or more than one-half the
total amount produced throughout
the United States.

Act should be put into immediate oper-
alton. Effect must be given to that
intention if it is possible to do so. The
chief difficulty arises from the fact
that there is an express authority con-
ferred upon any person or board to
put the machinery of the road govern
ment prescribed by the Act in motion
An annual election of Road Trustees is
provided for, but the entire machinery
of such election is placed in the hands
of the Road Trustees themselves, who
are officials created by this Act and
for the appointment or election OF
whom in the first instance no express
provision is made. The last Saturday
of May of each year is the time fixed
by the Act for holding the annual cleo
ton of Road Trustees The last Sat
urday of May of this year falls upon
the 18th, and as the Act does not take
effect until two days later-the 3lst-
it is of course impossible to hold
regular election for such officers until
the last Saturday of May, 1898.
Il am, therefore, of the opinion that
the Board of Supervisors of each county
in the State should appoint Road Trus-
tees to fill the vacancies in that office
which will exist when the Act under
consideration goes into effect, subject
to the provisions of Section 10, that
no person shall be appointed to fill any
vacancy except upon petition signed by
at least ten electors of the district; pro-
vided, that a vacancy may be filled in
any case upon petition signed by ma
jority Of the electors of the district l
am further of the opinion that at the
earliest day possible the validity of
such appointment should be tested in

CONCERNING The ROAD Law.
The Attorney GenerarS View Of The Gem
Puzzle,
Thinks 1t Will Come Out All Right,
But Advises 1t be Tested
in Court.

The District Attorneys of several
counties having written to Attorney
General Fitzgerald concerning the ap-
parent conflict between the County
Government Act and the Act to estab-
lish a uniform system of road govern
ments, he has replied to District Attor-
ney Bennington of Santa Clara County
that in his opinion there is no serious
conflict between the two Acts in queS-
ton, and that it was clearly the inten-
ton of the Legislature that the Act
for the establishment of a uniform sys-
tenn of road government should pre-
vail.
subdivision 4 of Section 2 of the
County Government Act" the Attor-
ney-General says, provides that such
boards shall have jurisdiction to lay
out, maintain, control, construct, re
pair and manage public roads, turn
pixies, ferries, wharVeS, chutes ana oth-
er shipping facilities and bridges within
the county, unless otherwise provided
Z, by law
The saving clause, unless otherwise
provided by law was, in my opinion,
placed there for the express purpose
of meeting the question now under con-
. S1QeratlOn. IN uFd1llnS the OOuulS 1ON-
eminent Act, its trainers could not of
course anticipate the probable action of
the Legislature upon the road law
which was pending before it. There
fore, they naturally made provis-
ion in the County Government Act
for system of road gov
eminent under the supervision Of the
Board of Supervisors to be effective
unless otherwise provided by law
that is, unless the special Act for a uni
form system of road governments,
which was pending before the Legis-
lature, passed and met with the ap-
proval of the Governor Furthermore,
the two Acts We're passed on the same
day and go into effect at the same
time They are, therefore, in paria ma
terra, and, so far as they concern the
same subject matter, must be read to-
gether as if parts of the same Act
In reference to the question as to
whether elections for Road Trustees
must be held this year, the Attorney
General has sent the following opinion

nardino:
