Ar,TAE PLAY.

For sale; certain properties of the
Ray State Gas. by order Of the Re
ceiverl How trippingly the drama pro-
crosses. We have watched the actors
In their paint and tinseil through many
a performance, with the inevitable end;
virtue triumphant and villainy foiled.
And it's true to life, too. for given the
time TO work out the plot, it's bound
10 wind up in the proper manner in the
fourth act. We are now in the midst
of the third act Of this Bay State Gas
afair. in which the plot begins to un-
tanglo and the way is laid to unmask
the villain.
Scene first was laid in a peaceful ru-
raj community; farmers and small mer-
chants passed across the stage giving
evidence Of industry, honesty and So
briefly. Then from the left entrance
enters sporty middle-aged man with
the evidence OF prosperity about him.
His long moustache is carefully curlee,
a diamond is in his shirt, and he wears
the air Of a blase man Of the world.
He demands all the honors and digni-
ties that are the peoples to bestow,
and offers them gold IN exchange. The
curtain goes down while some are re-
pelling his advances but keeping n
covctous eye ON the gold; but the ma
jority either spurn the offer or with
threatening gestures menace his safety.
In act .. the gambler has conquered.
Only a few dare to oppose him. The
mass is clutching at the gold which
hcshings right and left and those who
once raised their hands against him
now stand with humble mien, trembling
at his slightest command. He has
looted the temple and bears in his
hands all the prizes save one-the
hlghest-and he is reaching for that
amid the deafening shouts Of the
popuIace as the curtain descends.
Act , opens significantly. There are
judges in wigs and lawyers in gowns.
Occasionally writ-server passes hur-
riedly across the stage. A solicitors
clerk enters and announces that all the
Villains property has been seized and
that the court is celebrating whether
to restrain him Of his liberty. The VII
lain assumes an air Of Indifference
laughs cynioally, while his eye rove'
around as though he We're seeking ar
avenue OF retreat, while the populac'
stand dumhfounded, some turning theh
backs on him. others whispering tha'
they always knew he was not all HI
professed 10 be, while the features o
others resemble mask, being so per
fectiy under control So the curtain de
scends ON act 2.
The next act is the last but the cur
tain has not yet gone up. People ar
chatting, some have gone out to see
man, while the hammering Of the seen
shifters continues behind the curtaii
You needn't consult your program, fc
the story is as old as humanity an
the only value the play has is to in
press its lessons.

Governors Mansion.

1t is likely that the committee
on purchase or erection of a Gov
ernor's mansion will report in favor
of the proposition to appropriate
S25, 900 or $50, 900 for that purpose.
1t is believed that the latter sum
will be named. There is no reason
why the State of Tennessee should
not provide as literally for the COM
fort and convenience of her Govern.
or as other states of equal or less
wealth. If Georgia can afford to
spendSlOO. 900 on a Governors man
sion surely Tennessee can stand an
appropriation of $4,000. AS the
Daily News has continually urged,
it is false economy to continue the
niggardly policy of doing without a
State mansion for the Governor.
The bad impression such parsimony
leaves upon outsiders is in itself
enough to make it a bad policy.
The Legislature should not fail to
provide adequate quarters for the
Governor of Tennessee. Nashville

1.-THE Indianola Question"

The question is, Shall the militia
rY power of the United States be
used to force a colored official upon
community against the unanimous
protest of it's white inhabitants? If
this question be answered in the af-
tirmative, we may have to face re-
newal of the Civil War. We doubt
the expediency of raising such an
issue. We regret to add that there
is trace of vindictiveness and pro-
vocation in the course pursued by
the Post Office Department which
has compelled the citizens of Indi.
anola to obtain their mail at a post
Office thirty miles away instead of at
another only four miles distant.
Conceding, for the sake of argu-
ment, that the inhabitants of Indi-
anola had defed Federal authoritity
which is not clear, since no threat
of violence was made, and Mrs. Cox
seems to have resigned her Office vol
untarily-we doubt the constitution
atty of the measure taken by Mr..
Roosevelt. -Harper's Weekly.

Patterson on Roosevelt and Trusts.

Congressman M. r. Patterson
made a speech on the goth in the
House of Representatives on anti
trust legislation. Mr.. Patterson is
quoted as saying that he was not OPP
posed TO wealth when it was honest
Iy acquired, but that it was men,
ace when dishonesty acquired, or
was the reason of favoritism in leg
islation. He said that the tariff
was the efficient cause of great &C.
emulation of wealth and that
wealth, having natural affinity for
wealth, great alliances had been
formed which were controlling ar
ticles of daily use and consumption.
Mr.. Patterson said further that
the tariff laws had borne heavily
upon the agricultural masses and
that they suffered by every tariff ex-
action. He said that the distrust
of the American people was pervad-
ing and universal, that industrial
liberty or socialism would be the re-
suit unless congress afforded relief.
The power of congress, he said, was
plenarY and exclusive over inter
state commerce and the practical
question was not one of power, but
Of how that power should be exer-
cised.
He explained in detail the provis-
ions Of his bill and compared them
with the provisions of the bill re-
ported by the judiciary committee
In the course Of his remarks Mr..
Patterson said, in speaking of Presi
dent Roosevelt, that he had no SYM
pathy with the masses of the people,
that his attitude was one of insin-
cerity, and so far as the South was
concerned, it had as we'll be under
stood now that he stood for every
thing which that section opposed.
Mr.. Patterson said that Mr.. Roose-
Welt as. an author had characterized
Thomas Jefferson as sh1ftY doctri-
marian, a man who had borrowed
his ideas from the French revolu-
tionists and untruthful. This gave
the speker an opportunity to declare
that Roosevelt, the president, with
such opinions, could not be trusted.
In this connection Mr.. Patterson
said: "The name of Thomas Jeffer-
son and the eternal truths which he
stated, will live throughout all time
and, like pillar of fire, burn with
undiminished glory when the name
of Roosevelt and all he did or said
will be forgotten by the sons OF
man.-Exchange.

Mr.. CARTER has intro
duced a bill in the House to
repeal the hog law" which
applies to Hardeman county.
The repeal of this law would
meet with the approval of
many of our citizens, but it
also meets with strong and
positive opposition. What
suits some sections of this
county does not suit other
sections. One of our leading
citizens recently expressed to
the editor of the BULLETIN
his views in regard to the
matter, and they impress US
as being fair and just. His
idea is that a general stock
law should be passed, appli-
cable to the entire State, the
provisions Of which should
be that every person must

CONCERNING the temper
ance movement, which is now
so popular in Tennessee, it
may be of interest to our
readers to know that the late
Bishop Quintard was among
the first to take steps in that
direction. In 1871 he went
before the legislature, asking
that body to prohibit the sale
of whisky within four miles
of the University of the
South at Sewanee. The good
bishop, on being Informed
that the constitution was in
the way of the passage of
such a law, it being local in
its nature, then asked for a
general law, applying to all
chartered schools, and his re-
quest was granted.

BIDS ON ARM0R PLATE.
The Midvale Steel Company Submits
Figures consi derasbly Below low
the Trpst p ices.

Washington, % More than
$7,OO0,0O0 are involved in a contract
for armor plate which Secretary OF
the Navy Moody will soon award.
Three great industrial concerns, the
Carnegie Steel company, the Beth
lehem Steel company and the Midvale
Steel company, all Of Pennsylvania,
are interested. The Midvale company
submitted lower bids than the other
firms, which heretofore have had a
monopoly in furnishing armor to the
navy.
Secretary Moody has virtually de-
cided to divide the contract among the
three companies. On account of:<yits
lower bed the Midvale company would
ordinarily have received the entire
contract but for the fact it has never
made heavy armor, and would have
to construct an armor-making plant
before it could begin work. :.
The amount bid for was $500 tons
of armor, needed for five battleships.
The Carnegie and Bethlehem compa-
MES submitted identical bids at their
regular prices. These companies re-
quire that royalties shall be paid by
the government for the use of the
Krupp and the Harvey processes OF
hardening armor. The Midvale com
pany agrees to pay the royalty itself
