FOR INDEPENDENT RAILROADS


Mr.. Jere Baxter, the Tennessee
railroad promoter, has propo ed TO
Nashville that II that city will sub
scribe one million Of dollars, he will
build railroad from Florence, Ala
to Nashville. thence tn some point
In Kentucky TO the Illinois Central
Railroad, thereby giving Nashville
North and South river and railroad
connection independent of the l.. d.
N. Mr.. Baxtfrs proposition also
carries with it pledge to forever
keep this as a strictly independent
road, and to deposit majority of
the stock with the city of Nashville
as a security for the faithful keeping
of that pledge.
The City Council have passed
resolution submitting the PROPOSE
ton to vote of the people, and both
Of Nashville's daily papers are OPP
posing the subscription. They COLI
tend that il Nashville needs another
railroad at all, some other trunk
line should be allowed to embrace"
the city.
That seems to be the present policy
OF the l.. q n. For two reasons.
First, to get the friends of the new
railroad divided on two propositions,
and defeat them both. Second, If
the people are determined on
another road, place it IL possible in
the hands and under the manage
ment of the r abroad Trust, who will
simply divide the business with
them but not interfere with their
present rates.
The fight will be hard one, and
will be watched with great interest
by the people OF Tennessee. The l..
& N. will not loosen its grip on the
Capital city and through the Middle
Basin, without struggle. The best
talent that money can buy, to make
speeches and write newspaper ar
ticles, will be theirs. Hired electors,
ward politicians and professional
boodlers, will be in demand and will
get well paid for their services. H.
genious argument, friendly sophistry
and direct opposition will play their
several parts to becloud the situation
and defeat the peoples will. What
tie L. q N. won't do, won't be worth
doing. But the first card they will
play is one Of their strongest-to
have their friends in disguise pre-.
tend they are for new road, but not
exactly for the present proposition
and by this deceptive method to lead
many unsusp Getting friends of the
proposition away from it.
Maury county is particularly in
terested in the question, because
Maury county must have an indie.
pendent railroad, and this one might
be induced to come this way. What
ever their proposed route may De, II
must not be much out of their way
to come by Columbia. And if il
does not come to Columbia, it Ger.
tainly will come near enough to be-
tapped by an independent short line
built in the main by home capital
II it touches the North western
boundary line Of Maury, as it doubt
less will, Maury would certainly
offer enough bonus to induce it tt
stretch out an arm to Mt. Pleasan
and Columbia.
That is one of the prospects W,
have for an independent railroad
Let's all of us do all in our power tt
help it along.

THE question of revision Of the
Westminster Confession Of Faith,
with It's old doctrine of predestina-
ton, was up for discussion before
the New York Presbytery, and the
motion to revise was defeated by
the narrowest of margins. OF the
l42 votes cast, II were for revision
and II against. The presiding
officer, who had already voted mo"
when bis name was called. under
the rules was allowed another vote
In case Of a tie, and his second mo
decided that the Confession should
stand yet little while as the creed
of the Church. In politics, when a
man votes twice they call that
"stuffin' the ballot b, X.' 1t was an
awkward way out of the difficulty,
to say the leas: of it, and could have
been managed more gracefully If
the clerical gentleman in the chair
had known a little something of
parliamentary law. A motion to do
a thing, on a tie vote is lost. To
carry, 1t must have clear majority.
