Not since the adjournment of the
General Assembly has the Governor
been besieged with as many petition
ers as presented themselves Thurs
day. Most Of them appeared in con-
nection with the proceedings Of the
Election Board soliciting the interest
of the Governor in behalf Of favored
applicant.-Nashville American.
Why call on the Governor? Did he
not declare on every stump during his
canvass for the Gubernatorial nomi-
nation that he wanted the power to
appoint the Election Commissions
taken out of the hands OF the Cover
nor, and did not the Legislature take
the power out of his hands and place
it in the hands of a Commission?
Then why besiege the Governor? is
it possible that he is ex oficio the

TO tx rates. They would like to have
seen laws passed 70 compel the .axa-
ton OF railroad property like other
property.
If these are afflicted with railroad
mania" the state has it badly. AS We
have said. courtesy to Mr.. Finley die
tated pleasant words. but the governor
OF the state should never have indicted
so many people in order 10 be polite.
No doubt the railroad influences did
rally to the governor at critical times
at Nashville and delivered TO him
votes for his pet Memphis bill. but
even such personal obligation should
not have impelled him to place him
self in such an indefensible position.

SPAIN CRIES
sMANANA'
Twenty Bishops Who Came to the
Christening Will Have to Wait
Another Fortnight.

MADRID, May 6--It was semi-of.
ficially announced today that the ac-
couchement of Queen Victoria may be
expected the end of May. This an
nouncement was subsequently contra
dicted by DIR. Guttlerez. the specialist,
who is in permanent attendance at
the palace, who declared that the
event should have taken place before
this. There was much surprise and
angry comment at the discrepancy in
these statements, and careful inquiry
was made, with the result that the
official statement placing the event
the latter part Of May turns out to be
correct.
The incident has caused indignation
and amusement, and the court physi-
clans who set the date at the end OF
April are called bunglers.
The newspapers demand that some
one be made to answer for this ride
ulous mistake which has made the
whole affair joke; kept the nation
on the tiptoe of needless and absurd
excitement, and entailed many prema-
ture preparations. They instance the
fact that no fewer than twenty bishops
have arrived at Madrid within the
last ten days in order to be in readi-
ness for the birth OF the heir to the
throne Of Spain, and now they will
have to wait another fortnight.
Queen Victoria drove out this morn
ing, as usual, but she complained OF a
slight chill on returning, and remained
in the palace the rest Of the day.

GOOD CITIZENS
AND GRAFT

Il was Gov. Folks courage and per
severance in prosecuting and driving
to punishment the criminal grafter
and corruptionists that have SO long
infested his state that have raised
him directly at single movement
from the position OF circuit attorne!
or public prosecutor to that OF cnlel
magistrate OF Missouri. But tna'
state seems to be still largely undel
the control of corrupt and vicious III
fiuences. and these he is still comoaF
ing with all his might. 1t Is repre-
scented that the forces he is ngntnS
are made up of powerful corporS
lions, designing machine politicians
the liquor factions. gamblers, raw
track owners, bride givers and graz
tiers, with millions of dollars at com
mand and an army Of reckless, fercs
money-hungry, non-thinking men
ready to do their bidding. y
The trouble is that while the good
and law-abiding citizens, as they are
styled. are in large majority in the
state. they raise no voice and lit ~
hand against the grafters and shame
less corruptionfsts and allow inc
most serious evils to go unreproVea'
much less unpublished. New Orleans

Every one that is caught should be

Well, we had one Of them caught,
convicted and sentenced to six months
in Jail in Warren county, and Gov.
Patterson promptly pardoned him.
And he did this with the information
before him that it was very aggra-
waited case, with no ground whatever
to justify a pardon, When the people
elect officials upon fair promises to
uphold law and order, and then these
officials turn around and use all the
power and influence they can COM
mand in shielding the liquor inter-
ests and law violators, isn't there
abundant reason to complain and crit
icise? It is any wonder the people
suspect that such officials have been
bought body and soul, by the liquor
men -McMinnville Standard

There are four political parties in
Tennessee; the Administration Party,
the Anti-Administration Party, the
Brownlow and the Evans Party. The
or the other of the last two will put
out nominee for Governor next year,
and call him the Republican nominee.
and one or the other of the first two
named will put out nominee and call
him the Democratic nominee. And
those who were erstwhile Republicans
will be expected to vote for the Re-
publican nominee; and all the erst-
while Democrats will be expected to
vote for the Democratic nominee. But
will they? We trow not.

coLUMslA's GOOD
NAME AT STAKE.

The State Convention OF the Unfte'
Daughters Of the Confederacy will
convene here Wednesday OF ney
week, for al three days session, an'
an attendance OF something over tive
hundred Is expected; and (this is thu
important part) Columbia is not open
ing it's doors with its usual hospitality
for the entertainment of these ladies
That is an admission we have beer
slow to make to the public, because
we have been ashamed to make It;
but it seems that the public must
know it. before they can be aroused
to proper sense Of duty to them
selves and courtesy to their invited
guests.
The Old South, blessed be its mem
DRY, never needed urging to a public
duty like this; but it has been dawn
ing upon the observant mind for quite
q while, that the boosted hospitality
OF the New South, is borrowed livery
from the old.
OF course it is not always conven-
lent to have visitors in ones home;
and excuses are easy; but true hos
pitality will discommode the family
for the entertainment of guest; and
true hospitality recognizes public
obligation upon occasions such as thiA
No hospitality equals that given
in the private homes; but in the
absence Of that, and when that Is i'm
practicable or impossible, the next
best thing is to entertain your guest
at some other place; and certainly
those who will not discommode them
selves to take some of these lady Wis
itors into their own homes, will not
decline to, board them elsewhere. And
we suggest to the lady managers OF
this coming convention, who are IN
sore straights over this matter OF en-
tertainment, that they proceed along
this line, II they have exhausted the
hospitality Of the homes of Colum-
bia. They could doubtless find some
spare room at the hotels, and In the
boarding houses. and possibly at the
Institute; and they should put 1t up"
to those who cannot entertain at their
own homes, to pay for the entertain
ment OF those who are sent to these
places.
This very frank statement Of
somewhat delicate matter; even to
bluntness; but the time IL too short

needs immediate attention.

The ''unwritten law" is one way to
give protection to young American
girls, but a more economical and hui
name way would be stricter parental
care at home. We have been boasting
for a long time that American girls
could be trusted with their liberty,
but the number of tragedies of late
would suggest that little stricter
chaperonage and a little curtailment
of that liberty" would be good for
the girls as well as the state, and for
society at large.

RAILROAD MANIA

At banquet in Memphis, President
Finley, of the Southern Railway, being
the guest of honor. Gov. Patterson
boosted that Tennessee had so far
refused to follow the railroad mania
which has seemed to exist in so many
other states"
The governor might have been ex-
cusable in the presence of Mr.. Finley
of saying things which would be pleas
ing to an honored guest. Indeed he
might have found much on which to
felicitate the executive of a great
southern railroad system. But surely
the governor was not called upon to
get down on his knees before Mr.. Fin
ley and thank God that Tennessee was
not like other states-not, for instance,
like Georgia. Alabama, or Mississippi,
or Arkansas, or other states about us,
which have considered the problems
of railroad regulation and have taken
steps in the direction of their solu-
ton.
The governors slur at the so-called
railroad mania" of other states will
not rest very well on the people of
Tennessee.
1t is true the legislature did abso-
lutely nothing toward protecting the
rights off, the people of this state as
against the great railroad corpora
tons, but the governor is the first pub
lie man to praise that body for its
neglect.
+ 1t is a fact that the railroads Of
Wisconsin pay in taxes to the state
about $2,7OO,O0O annually. Governor
LaFollette evidently had the Trail
road mania" Iowa receives $685.
900 from such corporations. We fear
Governor Cummins has the railroad |
mania Ohio and Minnesota collect
over $3,00O,000 each annually from the |
railroads. They are far gone with |
that mania Under Governor Patter-
son the state of Tennessee will collect,
1t is estimated, $226.500 per annum in
railroad taxes If we have the rail
road mania it is of kind that no
doubt pleases Mr. Finley and Mr..
Smith and Mr., Harahan very much.
Georgia and Alabama have elected
governors for injustices less than
.hese. Governor Smith and Governor
Conner both possessed the railroad
yet they swept those states
md the railroads are still making a
rood profit in Georgia and Alabama.
Alabama and Mississippi have both
enacted the cent mile rate, and the
ailroads will continue to- run passen-
,er trains in those states.
There has possibly not been such a
trong demand for the 2 cent rate in
his state, but there will be and there
5 and ought to be q demand for equal
axation. There is and ought to be a
emand for the removal of rate dis
There is and ought to
e demand for good service accord
ng to schedule and safeguards against

mania" we fear that the
tate is badly afflicted and 1t will take
lore asylums than now exists to hold
he persons with this disease.
There are host of thinking people

GUARD EMPRESS CLOSELY.
London Police Taking Precautions
against anarchist Outrage.

London. March THE Empress DOwager Of
Russia arrived here this morning and was
greeted at the railroad station by her sister,
Queen Alexandra, the Prince and Princess OF
Wales and the staff Of the Russian Embassy.
The Empress reached London half an hour be-
fore the time announced for her arrival, and
several foreign ministers arrived at the station
after the departure of the royal party.
The change in programme. it is understood,
was planned by the police who have taken
stringent precautions for her protection. While
the officials Of Scotland Yard have little fear
that the anarchists in London will Jeopardize
their asylum In England by any attempt on the
life of the Empress they are taking no chances
and every possible avenue Of attack will be
guarded. From the railroad station the En-
press Dowager and the Queen drove to Buck
ingham Palace
Extraordinary precautions for her safety sur
bounded her from the time of her arrival in Eng
land. None but officials were allowed near the
landing stage at Dover and the railway. especi-

from Victoria Station to Buckingham Palace
was guarded by Scotland Yard men and regular
police. and the palace guard was largely aug
