And Passes Il Substitute Measure
Which Provides that Railroads
Shall be Regulated by the
State Funding Board.
The NO-Back- Tax Attorney Bill Has
Passed Both Houses and Gone to
the Governor For His sigma
ture-The " Centennial
City Incorporated.
Thursdays Proceedings.

Mr.. Claiborne's bill to proven t
doctors prescribing for patient
when he (the doctor) is intoxicated,
was passed by the Senate.
The bill to incorporate the Gen
tennial City" was called up in
the House. The reading of the
measure consumed several minutes,
after which the speaker announced
that it was a local measure and
asked if there was any objection to
its passage. No objection was heard
and the bill, as is customary with
all local bills, was passed by a vive
voce vote, number of members
voting against il. No division was
called for and the chair ruled that
the bill had been passed. on third
and final reading, and without OBJ
lection, motion to reconsider would
go to the table. Some discussion
ensued as to the manner in which
the bill had been passed, several
representative claiming that I'M
fair means had been resOrted to.
Mr.. Johnson, of Davidson, said
that he, with other gentlemen on
the floor of the House, desired to
enter protest on the journal of the
House against the manner of pass
ing the bill.
Speaker Fitzpatrick said that Mr..
Johnson could reduce his protest to
writing and have it read to the
House, which could take action on
the protest.

WHOLE FAMILY DEAD.
Charred Remains of Jacob AIDES House
hold Tell Horrible Tale.


Nashville SUM-
The home of Jacob AIDE, on Para
disc Ridge, in the Twenty-fourth
District, burned Tuesday night be-
tween and 10 o'clock.
The bodies of Jacob AIDE, Pauline,
his wife, Lizzie AIDE, their daughter,
aged 20 years, Henry AIDE their son.
aged ID and Rosa MORA, aged 10,
were recovered in horribly burned
condition.,
1t seems an assured fact that the
house was the scene of most cold
blooded and brutal murder.
This theory is borne out by the
fact that all of the bodies were
found under the room which was
used as a sitting room and only con-
tanned one bed.
The body of the old man was
found in front of the fireplace, that
of the boy opposite, and those of the
three women across the room and
just under the point where window
had been.
Jacob AIDE lived at the old Gar
rett place in the Twenty-fourth Dis
trict, near the Cheatham county line,
and was regarded as the most pros
porous farmer in his district. The
house sits back half mile from
what is known as the old GAINESVILLE
turnpike. 1t was a one-story frame
dwelling, with five rooms-two
rooms in front, with a hallway be-
tween, and three rooms running
back, forming an ell. Old man AIDE
and his wife usually occupied the
first room in the ell, just in the rear
of the front room, or parlor.
The only entrance to this room
was by door opening on the porch
running along the ell. There
was window in it opposite the
door. The theory is that the parties
who committed this henious crime
walked in as the family sat about
the hearth. The old man was prOba-
bly, struck first and fell at the place
he had been sitting; the boy was
stunned before he realized the ac-
ton to which he was a witness, and
the women rushed to the window
and opening blind were vainly
trying to escape, when the murder
ers rushed upon and Drained them.
The fact that no vestige of the house
remains but the shutter of this win
dow, proves it to have been open al
the time of the fire, and the facl
that the body of Rosa MORA was
found with the left arm thrown
across her head, the left hand cut
off and the top of her skull cut away,
proves that she realized her danger
and was trying to shield her head
when killed.
Rosa MORA, the l0-year-old Cir
who was visiting the family, was
a daughter of Mr.. Henry MORA, a
nearby neighbOr.

debate on the amended Railroad
Commission bill, Mr.. Fitzgerald
continuing his argument of the day
before. He also tried to work in an
amendment with party lines drawn
that is, to give each of the three
parties in the State a place on the
commission in the event the bill be-
came law. This was voted down,
but the dust of that little scrap had
hardly blown away when more
formidable foe to the bill in the
shape of an amendment offered by
Senator Canada stepped into the
ring, and the real fight began. The
gist of Mr.. Canada's amendment
was to have railroads regulated by
the State Funding Board, which
Board is composed of the Governor,
the Comptroller and the Treasurer.
A motion was made to table Mr..
Canada's amendment. The follow
ing shows how the Senator's voted:
Ayes-Senators Bate, Boyd, Clai-
borne, Cline, Ellis, Evans, Gillian,
Hammer, Hurt, Lea, Parker, Smith
son, Waddell, Whitaker, Mr..
Speaker Thompson-total, 10.
Noes-Senators Bartlett, Butler,
Canada, Case, Collinsworth, Dabbs,
Fitzgerald, Gilmore, Guild, Gum,
Houk, Keeney, Mann, Taylor,
Thompson, Tipton-tOtal, Is.
The amendment was then put
upon its passage, and passed by the
following vote:
Ayes-Bartlett, Butler, Canada,
Case, CollinswOrth, Dabbs, Fitz-
gerald, Gilmore, Guild, Gum, Houk,
Keeney, Mann, Taylor, Thomas,
TiptOn-total, Is.
Noes--Bate, Boyd, Claiborne,
Cline, Ellis, Evans, Gillham, Ham
nor, Hurt, Lea, Parker, Smithson,
Waddell, Whitaker, Mr.. Speaker
Thompson-total, 10.
Mr.. Cline changed his vote from
mo" to AYE" in order to enter a
motion to reconsider. Objections
were raised to this on the ground
that it had been the custom to allow
a motion to reconsider two days
time, but the enemy had the pull
aad Senatorial courtesy was given
the horse-laugh and the decision Of
the Speaker in favor of postpone
ment was overridden by vote of II
to IA; thereby changing the vote on
the adoption of Mr.. Canada's amend
ment to II ayes and II noes.
After considerable squabbling and
repartee. the bill came up for pas
sage, and passed by vote of 10 to 10.
The House bill abolishing the
Office of Back Tax Attorney passed
the Senate by a vote of "a to 2, and
has gone to the Governor for his
signature.

Mondays Proceedings,

Mr.. Dabbs introduced a bill into
the Senate Monday amending the
charter of Columbia so as to allow
the city to build, own and operate
waterwOrks and electric light and
power plants, and authorizing the
city to issue bonds for the same.
The battle begun in the Senate
Monday for the Railroad Com
mission bill. The first gun was
fired by Senator Whitaker, who
moved that the House bill of Sena-
tor Thompson be substituted for his
bill. Then the fun began. Sena-
tor Thompson amended the motion
by substituting the Whitaker bill,
and Mr.. Gilmore amended by put
ting in his bill, which the friends of
commission bill say is only an
adroit measure, intended to kill the
bill. The Speaker declared Mr..
Gilmore's motion out of order, and
Mr.. Gilmore appealed from the de-
cision of the chair. The vote re-
suited as follows:
Ayes: Bate, Claiborne, Cline,
Ellis, Evans, Gillian, Hammer,
Hurt, Lee, Parker, Smithson, Wad-
dell, Whitaker, Thompson-14.
Noes: Bartlett, Boyd, Butler,
Canada, Case, Collinsworth, Dabbs,
Fitzgerald, Gilmore, Guild, Gum,
Keeney, Mann, Taylor, Thomas,
Tipton-l6.
This admitted the Gilmore bill
Senator Dabbs it will be seen, voted
against the decision of the speaker
and in favor of the Gilmore bill,
which, the friends of the commits
sion claim, is "a cowardly make

Mr.. Toney introduced a bill in the
House to prohibit the exhibit ion in

device or machine any picture of
any prize fight, glove contest or 9TH

that is prohibited by the criminal
code of this State, and to provide a
penalty therefor.

his promises to the people who found
him in obscurity and honored him
with trust; but as he is so soon to
become a back number, all that we
can do is to indulge the hope that
this foolish courtesy by counties"
will be followed no more, and that
hereafter the Democrats of Maury
County will know who it Is they are
sending to the Senate. Our local
politicians are much to blame for
imposing Mr.. Dabbs upon trusting
and loyal constituency.
THE light question is still veXing
our City Faith and some of our tax
payers as well. Nobody seems dis
posed to build plant for Columbia,
and the present company, in the
opinion of the Board, being eXorbi-
tant in their charges, the Board
have resolved to borrow the money
and build for themselves. The
HERALD, as we have several times
stated before, is opposed to bond is
sues. We need not repeat our rea-
sons. And yet we recognize the fact
that the city must have light, and if
nobody will take the contract, soon
er or later the city must do its own
lighting. But this should be the last
resort, and before it is adopted eff
forts should be made in all other di-
rections. In the first place, we sug-
gest that some of the Aldermen at
tempt to organize by stock subscrlp-
ton, Citizens Light Company, the
corporation to be one of the stock
holders. Those who think it such
good thing for the city to own, GER
tainly would not object to owning
some of that good thing themselves
and those who think it such a bad
thing for the city to do, might be
persuaded to invest little of theil
surplus capital rather than be bur.
dened with heavy bond issue. This
effort is at least worth making. II
that fails, then advertise in some o.
the daily papers. The committee
we think have been chary with theil
advertisements, and have selected
the wrong mediums. Daily papers
are read by the business world
while trade journals only reach {
class. Try the daily papers of Nash
vile, Louisville and Cincinnati, anC
wait the results, gentlemen, before
you go too far with the bond propo
sition, for it will not be much to tn,
credit of this administration to fix {
debt of $4,000 on the taxpayers o

REPUBLICAN CONSISTENCY.

Mr.. Dinghy, the Republican
leader in the House of Representa-
tives and the author of the tariff bill
now up, in his speech opening the
tariff debate last Monday, said:
mo economic policy will prove sue
cess unless it shall in some manner
contribute to opening mp employment
to the masses of our people at good
wages. When this shall be accom-
plished and thus the purchasing power
of the masses restored, then-and not
till then-will prices cease to feel the
depressing effect of underconsumption,
and the prosperity of our people rise to
the standard of 1892"
The depressing effect of Rder-
consumption! During the recent
campaign the Republican speakers
attributed all the ills of low prices
to the depressing effect of orer-
production, and they were ably
assisted in promulgating this false
theory by the gold bug boilers of
the Democratic party. The Demo-
Gratis accounted for the fall in prices,
in large measure, to the demon
itizatiOn of silver and the consequent
appreciation of gold, and we urged
that the only way to restore the
parity of prices was to remonitize
silver. But the Republicans labored
hard and necessarily to show that
the demonitization of silver and the
appreciation of gold had nothing to
do with prices, that the present low
prices were the natural and newt
able result of OUerprOdUctjOR.
This burden of Republican song is
still fresh in the minds of the peo-
pie and ere yet the echo has died
away among the hills, they have
changed the tune, and the people are
now taught that all their ills are the
result of the diminution of their
consuming capacity.
While there may be some incOn-
sistency in the Republican argu-
ments, there is wonderful con-
sistency in Republican politics. A
gold standard and Il protective tariff
have the same object, the enrich
ment of the classes at the expense
of the masses. The Republican
party is dominated and controlled
by the plutocratic element in
American politics. 1t is an or
ganization to carry out the dictates
of the tariff-barons and the money
grabbers, and sincerity and con-
sistency in their arguments are not
to be expected. They nave the con-
ISOLATION of knowing that if theil
theories conflict their policies har.
monte, and that although they de.
ceive the people they keep faith
with their masters.

SATURDAYS Proceedings.

The House passed a resolution to
fix March 30 as the date of election
of the State officials, in order that
the committee appointed to investi-
gate the offices Of the Treasurer and
Comptroller might make fuller re-
port.
The resolution to fix Tuesday,
March %, as the date of the election
was unanimously passed by the
Senate.
