BAD PRECEDENTS.


tennial Appropriation bill, giving
them $4,000, and the impression
prevails that the house will do like
wise. This, we believe to be not on
ly a wasteful but an unconstitu-
tiOnal expenditure of the peoples
money. 1t is even worse than that :;
it is bad precedent. In 1876 Con-
gress made an appropriation to the
Philadelphia show. Patriotic,
thoughtful men objected to that not
only on constitutional grounds, but
because it was a bad precedent.
But it was urged then that the
precedent would not-could not-be
claimed again for an hundred years.
However, tie Chicago Fair did
claim it in less than twenty years,
and the bad precedent was again
set. Then came the Atlanta expo
sition, claiming an appropriation be-
cause one had been given Chicago.
Quickly upon the heels of Atlanta,
Nashville asked and obtained like
aid. SO there is no telling now
where Congress will go or when it
will stop, or how many millions of
dollars the Philadelphia precedent
will eventually cost the people of
these United States.
And now they have begun like
unending chain of bad precedents in
Tennessee. Stripped of its DISCUSSES
this so-called Tennessee Centennial
and international Exposition, is
nothing but a we'll laid scheme to
attract trade to Nashville. So far as
the state at large is concerned it is
at once the most expensive and
least remunerative way to advertise
its resources. Nashville is no more
entitled to the funds of the state for
this purpose, than Memphis would
be should they conclude to adver-
tise the Bluff City by some high
sounding name, or than Knoxville
or Chattanooga, and these cities, we
venture to predict, will not be slow
in finding some name under which
to claim the precedent.
The time to stop this wasteful and
as we believe unconstitutional eX-
travagance, is now; and the way is
by injunction. The tax payers
should not submit to such wanton
abuse of Legislative authority. They
should defend their property rights.
They should appeal to the courts for
protection. They should teach the
lobby that though they may smile
and fiatter and cajole and deceive
and bamboOzle the Legislature, their
trouble is just begun, and that there
is higher power yet to which the
people may appeal.
We suggest, therefore, that if the
House endorses the Senate bill, and
Governor Taylor signs it-as I'M
fortunately he has already indicated
he will-that an injunction be APP
piled for at once to restrain the
Treasurer from paying this money
over, and to test the constitution
ality of such dangerous precedents.
The first trouble is, that what is
"everybody's business is nObody's
business" But let's make it our
business. The HERALD will join
with any dozen reputable, taX-pay-
ing citizens of Maury County to
take the initiative steps. We would
soon have company to spare.

THE Senate Judiciary Committee
has reported for passage bill to
remove screens from the front of

think, to remove the saloons and let
screens stay.

what advertising can do. The press

OUR esteemed contemporary, the
"DiXie Game Fowl" Mr.. II. r. lips
comb, editor and publisher, in his
last issue fires the following-per-
haps not altogether uniust-criti-
cism. Referring to Columbia and
its newspapers, he says: GAS to our
population, the town by last census,
suburbs and ALL was $500. In other
words about $1,000 people get their
mail here. We have two weekly
newspapers, one weekly school paper
and the best game journal on earth
Dixie. We venture the assertion
that a third weekly would do well
here in good hands, as one of our
papers here talks too loud, while the
other often speaks only in whisper
on important matters"

ArRoBABLE BOOMERANG.

The pending election bill, if passed
by the Legislature, may rise up in
the future to mock the Democratic
party. 1t is more partisan than
just, and would give more aid to
machine politicians than relief to
the people. There is no reform in
that sort of legislation, and the peo-
pie will not be deceived thereby.
If the Governor is given the power
to appoint three Commissioners for
county, he will appoint Commits
sioners after his own heart. Then
these Commissioners will appoint
election judges, receivers and clerks
for the several districts of the coun.
ty, after their hearts. Now then
that might all work very well so
long as the heart of the Governor
was in sympathy with the hearts of
the people; so long as a Democrat
and a man of conviction and for the
people was in the chair.
But suppose the fee grabbers and
whiskey ring and the corporations
should combine their forces, and
while the people slept put one OF
their hirelings in the gubernatorial

SENATOR DABRS.

We reproduce the following from
the HERALD of October 8, 1896:
"Replying to an editorial in the HER
AID a few weeks since, addressed to all
the candidates, DIR. J. p. Dabbs, the Dem
ocratic nominee for Senator, says:
Replying to your inquiry as to how
/ stand on the Centennial appropria-
tions, will say, that if | should vote
my own sentiments | would unhesitat-
ingly vote against any appropriation
whatever, However, should be elect
ed to represent the 10th Senatorial Dis
trict, composed of the counties of Maury,
Lewis and Perry,in the next General AS
sembly, will make it point in every
particular to reflect the will and wishes
of my constituency in every meas
ure upon which will be called to be
present or vote for. My county perry
refused long ago to vote an appropria-
ton from the county
"Maury County has also refused to
vote any appropriation as county, and
two years ago the Democratic Legisla-
tive Convention instructed against it,"
Comment is unnecessary. If any
explanation is desired, call on Sen
ator Dabbs, who, when the Centen-
NAL appropriation bill came up in
the Senate last week, voted for it.

profits this year amounting to about sT0O00. A transaction last week netted him sl0,000. Webb Moore and Tbeo. Ayers, two more Bell county stock dealers, have turned cattle into gold at a rapid rate since March last.
 Graham Guardian: The rounding up the grand jury gave cattle thieves at the last term of court will no doubt have good effect, and it IS to be hoped that the guilty parties will find lodg- ment iL the territorial prison. It has been suspected that cattle stealing has been going on to the amount of about l50 calves in the vicinity of Hampson's ranch within the last few months. The large companies over there are entitled to protection against such depredations, Because they are rich is no reason why they should be plundered. Capital is what we want here and unless 1t receives proper protection it will not come.

HIDES AND HORNS;

Sunday MT. George Atkinson of Ca labazas, bought carload of calves in Sonora, and they were crossed over the line on Monday
 Stockman: W. A. Fiege of the Summit ranch, lately lost two of his fine young registered Hereford bulls by having them killed on the railroad
 Stockman: Mexican cattle are again arriving in the Salt River val ley, shipped up from Bisbee for fat tening. Three carloads arrived in Tempe Wednesday.
 Stockman: Fulgnm & Crump are making drive Of mixed cattle to Wilcox for shipment to Kansas. They are the remnants of about eight brands. There are about 800 head in the whole drive.
 StOckman: J. Larymore and w. M. Morgan came into Wilcox last week with fat cattle from Rockers Hot Springs MT. Larymore left Friday with the cattle which were consigned to E. G. Greening, Los Angeles, and filled three cars.
 Stockman: P. Haher of Fort Grant, recently sold his ranch and cattle to s. Nj. McClintock, whose father will reside on the ranch. Mir Maher IS now supplying fresh beef at Fort Grant, having undertaken to till the contract of Wm. Garyey.
 Stockman: The rooms of the Live Stock board are being again moved, this time to the chambers formerly occupied by the board of control, in the same building, the Gazette block. The new rooms have been elaborately fitted up for the accommodation or Chairman Stratton and Secretary Harrison.
 Prospector The cattle industry in Cochise county looks better today than at any time since we had the severe droughts that carried of thousands of head of stock, leaving the ranges, comparatively speaking, almost deserted by cattle. But times have changed, and cattlemen wear a smile of satisfaction indicative of en- couTaging prosperity.
 Range News: E. B. Moore and NIT. Sutton, the latter representing Bab- bitt Bros, of Flagstaff. were in town Friday and left for Greenes ranch above Fairbank, where they were to receive about 800 steers lately con tracted from w. C. Greene and neigh bors by MT, Moore. The cattle are to be shipped this week. Mir Moore also has large number of cattle to ship from Huachuca.
 Star: Ed. Vail and George Scho- field accompanied to California a2l-car train load of cattle, shipped by them from Pantano yesterday, which passed here at 5:30 p. n. Royal A. Johnson joined them for the trip. When any of the cattle get down General John son will deliver to them an address on the subject of the ingratitude of re- publics, especially as exemplided by the woes of an Arizona republican who found himself not in it This will doubtless prove sufficient to rouse them.
 A Fort Worth telegram dated the l6th, says: Cattle prospects were never brighter in Texas than now. Daily large transactions are reported.
