It is probable that Bob's personality
won him more votes than his prin-

was triumphantly reelected And in
1896 the Democrats brought him for

from the sickenIng stinss of unjust
criticism. safe from the talons of some
old political vultures. safe from the
slimy kiss and keen dagger Of ingrati-
tude.
I DO not retire the somnambullst OF
a shattered dream. but with all the
buds % hope bursting into bloom and
al the bowers OF the future ringing
with melody. I am contented with my
lot In hfe- Three times I have worn
the laurel wreath Of honor, twined BY
the people Of my native State, and
that = glory enough for me.

TO the desired verdict no less by his
logic thap by his eloquence.
His return to the executive mansion
in Nashville was not Of his own seek
ing. He was needed 20 unite the party
and though he united it sufficiently TO
carry ,he State. his last term as gov
ernor was anything but plain sailing
for .'FiddIing Bob" First Of all there
was the usual cry Of fraud from the
opposing candidate. Then he had
little run in with the railways. and
through that with the Federal district
court.
Along in 1897 the assessment OF rail-
way properties in the State was raised
from 100000 TO 81, CO., 600 by he rail-
way commission. The roads fought
the assessment bitterly but vainly be-
fore the State board OF equalization.
consisting OF the governor. the secre-
tary OF state. and the treasurer. The
assessment was sustained. The roads
petitioned Judge g. D. ozark. Of the
Federal district court. FOR an Injunction
against Governor Taylor. restraining
him from certifying the assessments
10 the comptroller.
First a temporary injunction was Is
sued. Then it was made permanent.
The Judge decided thai the assess
ments were too hign and the whole
State simply boiled with Indignation.
Prominent citizens. including some OF
the State judges. denounced the de-
cision as a vital attach upon the rights
OF a sovereign State. The governor. a
peaceful enough man usually. was as
boilingly indignant as anyone else. An
extra session OF the Legislature was
called FOR. and FiddlinE Bob said in
eroct. II not in words: To - with
the Federal court"
Those were strenuous days in Ten
nessee with the governor defying the
Federal judiciary. and declaring that
tax should be collected II he had TO
call out the militia to help do it. Judge
Clark was put in a position where he
must recede from his position or put
the governor in Jail for contempt. And
Fiddling Bob was game. He declared
that he was willing to go TO Jail FOR
his people and their dignity as a Com
monwealth.''
Fighting the railways is not a
healthy occupation for a politician.
And in a few months Bob Taylor
began to tire of his job as governor.
He said he was tired Of the ingrati-
tude of politics" Moreover the lecture
field beckoned TO him alluringly. He

But he made his exit in a blaze OF
glory. The correspondent Of the Louis
Vile Courier-Journal. writing about it
at the time. said: There was neither
pomp nor splendor about the inaugura-
tion Of Benton McMinin as governor.
Tor Bob Taylor had taken all the pomp
and splendor for his valedictory." He
may have been getting into training for
the lecture platform. certainly he
brought down his house with a speech
that began like this:

were East Tennesseeans. an6 tSs
young men Of any family in that part
OF the State were always on op-
posite sides politically. Their faith
ers and uncles were found on
both sides during the war. The
section is historic as a fighting
ground. When North and South had
TO settle the question OF slavery and
secession the State was rent in twain
and her houses were divided against
themselves. As for the Taylors-their
father was an earnest Republican;
their mother. who had been a Miss

RAILROAD BfTIERMfNT
 GOING ON BY NI6HI
The Santa Fe Prescot. and Phoenix Lays "Y" Across tie Irvine Ad- dition.

The Santa Fe Prescott and Phoenix did some railroad building night before last, of which there had not been gen eral notification. The system was im- proved by the extension of a badly needed "Y'' which i--..- southward pretty well through the Irvine addi- tion west of the city. The "" has it's origin in the neighborhood of the com papy's oil tank this side of the Capitol building.
 When the Southern Pacific's appli- cation for a right of way through the western part of the city was before the council short time ago a right of way which had been given to the San ta Fe Prescott and Phoenix some time before. was recalled on the ground that the company had made no use of it. not having laid the rails, although the grading had been done.
 It was also explained on behalf of the Southern Pacific that though there was nothing on the right of way. 1t was still a menace to that proposed ex- tension of Mir. Harrimans system, for if 1t ever should be occupied by the Santa Fe Prescott and Phoenix the Southern Pacific locomotives drawing trains to the Buckeye country would be compelled to stop at tine crossing, and whistle.
 This seems an easy thing to do but 1t was pointed out to the councilmen that there is enough steam energy wasted in a whistle to pull a train a mile or two. Thus it was made known that in the railroad business as well as in private life, silence is golden. Beside the waste of steam in whist ling at the s. F. P. & P. spur there was the loss of time to be considered. The council therefore decided to legislate against the possible obstruction.
 The activity of the construction force of the s. F. P. & P. night before last has left things in the original shape. The whistling will still have to be done.

Divorce In Cactus Center.

N OWN here in Cactus Center we amt
ID herded much in schools;
~ We don't know no college rah rahs,
but we amt bunch O. fools.
And you can bet no legal lighters can
come here and hem and haw
And heel rope us and hog tie us in the
meShes of the law.
The last galoot who started fer to run o
crooked course
Was the lawyer fer old SQuaw Bill in Q
suit fer divorce.
Old Bits a tepee Yankee and he thought
he'd try the law
Fer to shake his lovin' woman-a poor
Jicarilla squaw.
Well, when the case come of. sir, old
Bill, who's struck 1t rich,
Sat behind the shifty lawyer who set out
to break the hitch.
The squaw can't talk no English, but jest
spraw!s there on the floor
A-nursin wee infant and a-Quietin'
four more.
Well, the lawyer proved it backwards,
and no doubt he proved it straight
That there weren't no legal marriage and
old Bill could pull his freight,
And the squaw she can't say nothin. but
jest sets there in a fog.
With her eyes all bright an swimmin'.
like a starved and kicked cur dog.
Well, the court took an adjournment. and
Bills lawyer shook his hand
And said, We've won it, Willum by the
laws Of this here land"
But the Injun woman set there with her
baby at her breast.
TIL ella Hawkins hollered. Dash the
law-the right is best!'
So we gathered in Squaw Willum and hii
high priced legal shark,
And we stood Bill on a barrel, all the
same's a hangin' lark.
And we said we'd kick the slaves in less
he swore that he'd be true
To the Jicarilla lady-which he said that
he would do.
And when Willum and his family started
out fer their home tent
We set the lawyer peltin' down the back
trail Jest hell bent,
Fer yer Blackstone's poor perfection,
though yer books may weigh ton.
When the other cause is righteous and IA
backed up with a gun.
