A VETERANS ADVICE.
(Montgomery Advertissr.l


The Nashville News is young and
has much to learn. We are not in
the habit of giving advice to our con-
temporaries in other cities but we
must say 10 the News that il has
nothing to gain by devoting so much
OF its editorial space to abuse and ridi-
Guile Of one of it's city competitors.
We are not proposing TO defend OF
speak for the object of its displeasure.
That paper must attend to its own de-
Tense. But we do say that no news
paper can gain friends. subscribers or
influence by continued nagging at
contemporary. We have seen it tried
before and in other cities than Nash
vile. If such course has any effect
at all it is just the opposite of what
was intended. Nobody has patience or
sympathy with perpetual scold. but
they win have sympathy for the object
of abuse and will be likely to show
that sympathy in q substantial way.
When daily newspaper can find moth
ing better to write about than the con-
duct or alleged faults of neighbor, it
would do better to devote its editorial
columns to news or reprint.

In this issue we announce the name
of Major w. J. Whitthorne as candi-
date for Congress from this, the
Seventh Congressional District Major
Whitthorne is we'll known to the voters
of this district, and needs no introduc-
tion. He has lived in Columbia nearly
all his life, and has been prominent in
political circles for twenty years or
more. He is lifelong Democrat, a
party worker, ana has served his
people in both bran ches of the State
Legislature with distinction and
ability. In early life he took up arms
under the stars and bars for the South
ern cause, and again was among the
first to volunteer when war was de-
cIared between this country and Spain.
AS soldier and Democrat, his record
stands unimpeached and unimpeach-
able.

In the graduating class of the Colum
bia Public Schools, there is one boy t.
six or seven girls. In the graduating
class of Hay Long College, Mt. Pleas
ant, there is one boy to three girls.
The average ratio of girl to boy grad
yates is about five or six to one. Is this
the fault of the parents, or the fault
Of the boys? There is serious fault
somewhere. Boys sent into the bust
ness world half educated are hardly
half prepared for the struggle.

The Lodge Philippine bill. alias tn
bill to govern our foreign possessions
passed the Senate Tuesday by a ,vot,
of 4S to 80; three Republicans, Messrs.
Hoar of Massachusetts, Mason of I'LL
nois, and Wellington Of Maryland,
voting with the Democrats against the
measure, and one alleged Democrat,
Mr.. McLaurin of South Carolina, vot-
ing with the Republicans for it. 1t is
a sad commentary upon the times that
such measure as this, fraught with
so much cruelty, injustice and un-
christian consequences, can pass the
Senate Of the highest civilized, chris
tian Republic in the world. It is sad
der still, perhaps. that the party lash
can whip men into line to do so cruel
a wrong against helpless people.
The reconstruction days Of the South
constitute the most awful pages of
modern history. And to think how
those terrible crimes Of plumber, MUIR
der, arson, rapine and rape will be aug
mented by the better opportunity
offered for these crimes, owing to the
litter helplessness Of the people. and
he freedom Of their oppressors from
ear Of detection; to think on these
Kings is enough to make one shudder
md turn away.

The Board Of Mayor and Aldermen
cannot accept the Hutton depot prop
osition, and keep their promise not to
give more than $40, 900 to this subsidy.
1t is no worse proposition, however,
than the one they have already adop-
ted. Two propositions. SO inimical to
the public good, have no better OF worse
features to consider. With subsidy
from the city of ten thousand dollars
to start with, we can very easily
see how capitalists and the Railroad
can JOIN interests and make a good
thing out Of it. But that it will all
be done at the sacrifice Of the public
gooo, is equally plain to us.

taxable language the fright of local

be lone of the fundamental principles
of the Democratic party" 1t does not
limit or confine this right to towns of
two thousand, or five thousand; it is
as sacred and dear and necessary to

vention assembled, has reaffirmed it.

The Herald points with PRIDE" az
the politicians say in their platforms,
to its local news columns. The editor
of this column can praise our news
columns without any self fiatterer,
because he has very little to do with
them. "the boys" doing the work and
deserving the credit. That they do it
well, their columns speak for them.
Mighty little happens they do not
catch on to. OF course they do not
tell all they see. or hear. or know.
They are that much wiser than the
writer Of this article. And they
don't want to leave Columbia yet.
But they tell all that the people ought
to know; and they tell it while it is
fresh and new; and they tell it in good
style. And that is the reason why
everybody reads the Herald. True,
some people do not pay for it; but
those who do not buy it, borrow it /
they all read 1t. This number is fair
sample. Read it with critics eye.

''The platform wisely ignores the
prohibition question, says the Nash.
vile American. Very wisely indeed,
as no one had raised that question.
But it very wisely atfirms and en-
dorses, as a fundamental, Democratic
principle, the right of local self govern
ment. If the Legislature will take
that cue and legislate fairly along that
line, that is all the temperance people
will ask.

To stop buying trust made article.
is lot the remedy for the trust evil.
SUI pose every man, woman and child
in Maury county should agree4for the
next year not to buy or wear any trust
mace article; what would be the re.
suit? 1t would bankrupt Columbia.
The merchants would have to close
their doors. because nearly everything
they sell is trust made or trust con.
! trolled. The Herald would have to
quit business because the paper it is
printed on, the type it uses ana the
machine that sets the type, are all made
or controlled by trust combines. So, to
boycott the trusts would mean to stop
business stock still. But Mr.. Bryan's
remedy would do the work. Contine
the trusts to the borders of the state
where they make their goods. Do not
permit any trust made or trust con-
trolled article to be shipped out Of the
state. That would break the combine
in day. The steel trust. the coal
trust, the beef trust, would dissolve
in night Even the great Anaconda
Railroad Trust could not stand it. be-
cause it would paralyze their business.
Some questions are hard to settle, be-
cause they are hard to solve The
race question, for instance. But the
trust question will be easy to solve
and easy to settle when the people
make their minds up to it. The
people must, however, first learn to fight
the trust idea, the trust principle, in
general and all the time, and not rely
SO much upon sporadic efforts directed
against special trusts. Some business
men foolishly bite at bait thrown out
to them by one trust when by SO
doing they encourage dozen other
trusts to live ana rob them. Here is
Columbia abusing the Beef trust. and
giving ten thousand dollar subsidy
to the Railroad trust. And individuals
galore, all over the county. abusing the
trusts in general, and yet patronizing
he Cumberland Telephone trust in
preference to a cooperative home en-
erprise. Whenever the people get ripe {
md ready to abolish the iniquitous 1
Trust idea, it will be done; just as s
when the thought of the age got ready a
0 abolish slavery it was done. And
~ thew the trust, combines and
capital, have created more t
laves than Lincoln emancipation pro- t
lamation set free; and not only so, !
nut condemned them to worse a
'ondage, with more cruel taskmasters h
as class-than the South ever knew c
efore the war. Before the war the "
outh represented the slave holding tt
tates and their color was black. Now b

sates, and their color is white.

WHEN JUSTICE SITS UPON HER
THRONE.

VnhONG u.
When the good people of the North
There are and always have been goo
people in the North when they at Las
learned and fully realized all tn
horrors that had been perpetrate
upon the South during those dari
and dreadful reconstruction days
by the Union Leagues and Freed
mans Bureaux and others Of their ilk
in the name Of liberty; when thes'
good people Of the North learned how
the beastial negroes Of the South, LED
by meaner white men, both of the
North and South, had been taught to
commit crimes against which even the
better class of negroes rebelled, then
these good people Of the North re-
pented deep down in their hearts and
hung their heads in shame.
But that did not bring back, could
not bring back, the houses that had
been burned, the hopes that had been
blighted, the homes that had been des-
plated, the men and boys that had been
waylaid and murdered, the women and
girls that had been ravished and
ruined.
Those crimes were done, and could
not be undone God may have forgiv-
en-, doubtless did, those whose inten
tions were good, and who repented in
sack cloth and ashes the dire results Of
their misguided zeal. But even that
could not rehabilitate the land they
had devasted, the fortunes they had
dissipated, the hearts they had broken,
the lives they had taken.

conquest and reconstru ction, is a
