Gov. TaylOr's Withdrawal.

Richmond Times: bob" Taylor
is an ideal politician. Clever, bright
and magnetic in his manners, he
makes friends readily, and upon the
hastings he has few equals in the
south, but his testimony will strike a.
chord in the lives of thousands of
good men all over this country who
have found in the chase of politics
allurement for the moment, but no
satisfying need for toll of a life
time.
We are obliged to have public men
in our republican form of govern
ment, and some of them are kept in
the service many years and enjoy
the proud distinction of a peoples
confidence and affection, but from
Wolsley to Bob Taylor the record is
crowded with good men who have
denounced the emptiness of the fleet
lived honors of time and realized
with age that politics demands of
man sacrifices which few men sue
cessfully make for an extended
period.

GOV. TAYLOR AND SAM JONES.
Our Bob Hits His Critic Hard
Blow.

Our Bob Hits His Critic Hard
Blow.
In the course of his sermon last
Sunday night, in Nashville, Sam
Jones said: 1.-The pardoning power
ought to be carefully guarded. 1t
may be abused until lynch law will
thrive in every county of this state.
If our noble Gov. Bob, who has said
he was out of politics, would go a
step farther and say, i am out of
the pardoning business he would
do good thing for the state"
This paragraph was shown Gov.
Taylor and he said: ~ think it
comes in poor taste for Sam Jones to
talk this way. Had it not been for
the pardoning power Sam Jones
would have been in hell long ago.
II have only about ten months to
serve in the Governors office, and
during that time l expect to use the
power conferred upon me by reason
of my election to the office, when
ever / think right and for the best
interest of the people, and all the
devils in or out of hell can't keep
me from doing my duty as see it,

1T COSTS SOMETHING.
Our Millions Would Soon Be Exhausted
in Event of War.

Our Millions Would Soon Be Exhausted
in Event of War.
If no men were lost, If no ships
were destroyed or even damaged, it
would cost 100000 to $3,OOO,0O for
ammunition alone 60 fight a first
class battle with modern arms and
projectiles, and large part Of the
$50,000,000 appropriated yesterday
will 20 for powder and shot. An
ordinary allowance of ammunition
for one of the big guns costs about
as much as the gun itself, and any
one can realize that we will need
an enormous amount of powde" be-
fore our navy goes to war, foD it
takes nearly half ton every time
one of the big thirteen-inch guns is
fired. There were $50 tons of pow
der on the Maine when she went
down, and her magazines were only
half filled. The big battleships and
the first-rate cruisers should never
go into action without a supply Of
from 500 to 800 tons, or say, an aver
age of 700. There are eleven of
these battleships, which together
require 400 tons. Then there are
sixteen second-rate ships, which
ought to have 500 tons each in their
magazines, or a total of 5000 tons !;
forty-two third-rate ships which
should have at least 800 tons each,
or total of 1900 tons, and seven
fourth-rate ships which should have
200 tons each, or total of l,400 tons.
Without counting the torpedo boats,
it requires about 10000 tons of pow
der to fill the magazines of our navy
before it would be safe to send the
ships into action.
The seacoast defense, with their
monstrous eight, ten and twelve
inch guns require several times as
much. The four-inch rapid-fire
rifle requires sixteen pounds of pow
der to carry a projectile weighing
thirty-three pounds four miles. The
f1ve-inch gun requires twenty-five
pounds, the six-inch rifle fifty
pounds, the eight-inch rifle $50
pounds, the ten-inch 500 pounds,
and it costs 81 900 every time one of
the thirteen-inch rifles is fred
There are four of these guns each on
the battleships Indiana, Iowa,
Massachusetts and Oregon.
A few weeks ago the ordinance de-
partment of the army made a con-
tract for 5000 loaded shells at cost
of 100000 and within the last few
days contracts for 1000 more shells
have been made at a cost of $780,
900. There are four factories at
which these shells are made. A
four-inch shell loaded weighs 70

SOME of the fool papers of the
North are disposed to raise the ques-
ton of the South's loyalty to this
government IN case of war with
Spain. And some of the fool papers
of the South, with their usual
sycophancy, are ready to repeat the
oath of allegiance. If the question
were to be discussed at all, material
fact to be remembered would be
that the South is the only section of
this great Union absolutely under
the domination and control of ma
tive born Americans. In New York
or Boston or Chicago an orator must
speak several different languages in
order to be understood by all his
hearers; but in the South we know
but one country and speak but one
tongue. 1t would be rather natural
to suppose that Americans would
stand for America.

great, true, heroic heart beats high to
declare that it is better to die in pro-

falsehood to its own grand past. Its
conscience is aroused. Its arm is barred
to smite and that swiftly, lest there be
none of the starving left to save.
With such pure motive, its actions
will have the cordial goodwill of
European nations Short, decisive
work will be made of the solemn task,
and when the smoke has cleared, jus
tice will have been done to the unjust,
and "Cuba Libre" may then develop in
quiet its own individuality.

If ex-County Judge Leonard. of
Marshall county, who was convicted
of larceny and forgery, was entitled
to be pardoned, then he was entitled
as free man, pardoned of his
offenses, to live where he pleased.
If he was too bad a man to live at
his old home, among his old neigh
bors, where he was known and could
be locked and barred against, then
certainly he was too bad a citizen to
dump upon new community. This
is one of those all too common in
stances where Governor Taylor's
sympathy ran away with his judge
ment.

SOME of the church officers vt
Nashville are rather uncomfortable
just now. They have been applaud
ing Sam Jones for his abuse of the
city officials who fail or refuse to en-
force the laws against gambling
houses and Sunday tippling, and
eX-Mayor McCarty, becoming tired
of this abuse, talked out in meeting
and explained that he was doing
the very best he could to restrain
these evils, until "a number of the
prominent deacons and elders and
stewards of the churches came to
him and inplored him to let up on
the saloons during the Centennial. "
Since then the tables have been
turned, and instead of the saloon
keepers and the city officials, the
criticism and condemnation is now
being directed towards the church
members who run with the gang.n
But now they have freed them,
what will they do? Will the church
have the christian courage to dis
cipline them, or because Of their
wealth and position and influence,
will they condone the offense? The
church must furnish a better ex-
ample of consecrated, consistent
living, before it can convert the
world,
