WHAT WILL BE ISSUE.

lean ssys:
/ 1t is little early yet to say what
will he the paramount issue in the leg
islative contests of next year. mt it is
believed that the liquor question Is
destined to cut a big figure in large
number OF counties. There is no deny
ing the fact that there is very strong
sentiment all over the State behind the
agitation of the Anti Saloon League
for an extension of the Adams law to
the entire State. This sentiment was
manifested IN the last Legislature, il
requiring the very best of generalship
upon the part Of the party leaders to
prevent the popular branch of the body
from passing what was termed radical
legislation. On the only test vote
upon the question IN the House the
vote stood: Ayes, 30. noes, IS, upon
a motion to reiact a bill 10 extent the
Adams law to al towns of 10000 in
hsbitants This vote was only two
short of that necessary to pass the bill.
1t is difficult to convince the aver
age rural legislator that what is good
for the country is not good for the
city, and 1t is argued with much force
that there should be no discrimination
in temperance legislation.
All in all the campaign of next
year not only promises to he the longest
on record, hut it will doubtless bs one
of the most interesting the people of
Tennessee have ever witnessed. Those
who love the spectacular in politics as
in other things and who have often
heard Tecounted the glories of the
famed debates between Lean Jimmy
Jones and James K. Polk, and between
Hatton and Harris have suffered a
great disappointment in Gov. Taylor 8
to meet Senator Carmack
on the stump. 1t has been predicted
that the debate between Tennessee's /
two renowned public speakers would
surpass the glories of former forensic
and would add luster to
the already proud record of the State

encounter VIII yet take place. A
warm friend of Gov. Taylor was heard
4 few days since to make the predic-

Under the charge that he had become

Don't IT make you mad, that some
of your money, winch you thought you
were paving for life insurance, was
used to help Teddy with the big testh
buy aud debauch and corrupt the ballot
of the country? Wouldn you like to
see the men who rnlssppIoprlated your
money to 40 base a use. wear the
stripes? Of course our good and noble
President will be greatly surprised
to learn that his election was bought,
and bought largely with the money of
honest men who voted against him.
OF course he DID rot know, did not
suspicion, never dreamed even, that
arrangements were neing made to de-
bauch the voters of the county for his
benefit. He Will be so N fortified when
he hears Of it that he will doubties
dive to the bottom of the sea and stay
there. Of all the ills that aft 't this
country, the greatest is the rottenness
on top No, that is not the greatest ;
the greatest IS the tolerance of the
people for the rottenness on top. Petty
larceny, small breaches of trust, nrib-
cry in municipal and county elections,
etc are scorer numerically. while
the country is lauding to the skies a
man whose election was bought, and
who accepts the office knowing it was
bought, and who carries ont his part
of the desl daily by appointing to
Office suhservient tools to represent the
interests of those who furnished the
corruption fund. Any man, whether
President, Sheriff or Contahie, who
connives at the buying and accepts an
office knowing it was bought, is no
batter than the men who handle the
filthy hribe money. And Theodore
Roosevelt. President of the United
States. is IN that class.

COUNTY FINANCES

We publish in this issue the report

reflects credit upon the Trustee ana his
deputies, but upon the county and

IDEA of the wealth ana Iesourcefui
strength of this the banner county in
the State. And there is yet another
encouraging feature of il. Mr.. Kan

that his wears work would be laid bare

be congratulated that it's chief hnan-

Tuning from this to another feature
of county finances. Maury county

HONOR TO WHOM
HONOR IS DUE.

The greatest Fair in the history OF
Maury county came to aclcse Saturday,
after the most successful meet IN the
/ history of this Association. The man.
sgement, of course, we're gratified; the
/ people were delighted. hut eternal Wig
lance is the price of liberty and We
must keep our eyes on our guns If we
expect this good work to continue, and
therefore we address ourselves t. the
future.
Col. Jno. W Fry, President of the
Association, purposes to resign. Has.
10 fact, announced his intention of de-
clining to stand for reelection. We
do not blame Col. Fry. 1t is a difficult
and hard position to fill; there is no
financial profit in it; and from a per
sonsl standpoint the game is not worth
the candle But taking the peoples
side of the question, as the Herald IS
wont to do. and We say that Col Fry
ought not to be permitted to resign, or
decline. We do not say il in any sense
Of flattery, or compliment or praise: but
q sober, serious aarnestness we say that
this Fair, in all it's completeness Of de-
tail and effect, could not have been with
out the invaluable services Of Col. Fry,
and there is no one to take his place.
1t is a mistake to say there is some
other man to take up another man
work and do it as we'll. 1t is true that
the world will move on when we are all
gone. And the places some of Us fill,
and feel our very great Importance in
filing, may be better filled when We are
gone. But there are some men for some
places, just as there are some men for
some crises, and no other men can do
their work as we'll. And we say, ana we
know we voice the sentiment of Maury
county and the strangers within her
gates who are qualified to speak, that
Col. Fry is the man for this place, and
without him. the Fair will languish, if
it does not die.
The President of the Association has
had two or three or four able lieuten-
ants. and we do not discount or under
value their services: but no man con
lected with the work, or in any way con-
versa Mt with the facts, will deny or object I
70 the statement when we say that it .
vas Col. Fry's resourceful thought and .
mind that suggested and directed not
he general policy merely, but the thous-
md and one details which the public
enjoyed without stopping to think of
he amount of thought and labor they
1t requires a man of peculiar temper
Iment to do this work, and Col. Fry
las these qualities-these resourceful,
harmonizing qualities, to a
marked degree. La addition to these he
las the acquaintance, not only in this
county but the surrounding counties;
md he has the good will and confidence
+ the people. He has contributed more
han any other man to this the grand
st and most successful fair meet ever
leld in Tennessee, and, unless We are
Wiling to tafe several steps backward,
We must unite 10 insisting, we had al
most said demsr ding, that Col. Fry con
niue, even at the sacrifice of his own
wishes, tnis service for the public good,
nd for the pleasure of US all.

The Nashville American very truth.
fully remarks THE revelations as to
the methods and character of manage
ment of the Equitable, the Mutual aud
the New York show a condition of af-
fairs and moral turpitude sufficient to
shock the whole country and to destroy
confidence in the honesty and integrity
of their officers and those who are lead
ers in high finsr ca, which is simply
an euphonious name for graft. Insur-
ance policy holders are having their
eyes opened. And what is true of the
three companies mentioned, is doubt
less true, to a more or less degree, of
them all. They all charge about the
same rates, and their rates are uniform
ly too high. Insurance policy hode
are having their eyes opened, as the
American sage; not merely to these ex-
trayagances and corrupt practices, but
to the fact that they, the policy holders,
are paying for the sc extravagances, and
these campaign contributions. and that
they are chumps for doing so: and thou
sands and tens of thousands Of them
are quitting; and thousands and tens of
thousands more will quit as their poll
cies expire. However, it will he hard
to make any law to cover the case. It
is plain case of stealing; and ever since
the ten commandments we're handed
down, there has been law, both human
and divine, against stealing.

THE CARS ADDRESS.

The war party in Russia is over
joyed because of the cars letter in
which he declares that he will not en-
dorse any peace agreement that does
not acquit Russia with honor. But
those two words, with honor" GOV.
er a good deal of territory. The czar
is wise enough to do all possible to
hold in check the forces inimical to
his safety, and his grand-stand play to
the war party is a good time killer
Meanwhile M. White will make peace
terms according to his ideas and he
is for peace. When the time comes
for the car to speak the powers will
have something to say and in the con
fusion of voices and languages, with
honor" will probably be stretched tc
a considerable agree.
The boy who quits the fight and
runs away. can on reflection. decide
that he withdrew with honor"
