The Birmingham Ledger says when
a man gets to the Senate the public al
ways wonders whether he is represent
ing his State or his clients. Fortu-
nately those questions do not arise in
the South" This lie a direct charge OF
q discreditable character against the
whole body of United States Senators
for which there is no warrant. If true
then the interests of the whole coun-
try are in danger. True. the last SEN
tence is a qualifying one generating
Southern Senators but it still leaves
all the others under indictment. We
believe that the great BODY of SEN
ators and Representatives are patriotic
men devoted to the right as they see
1t. although a large portion OF the pub
lie may believe they have wrong ideas
Their Views are largely, II not entire
~, in accord with those OF their i'm

SHORTAGE OF SMALL NOTES.
Government InvOIkes National Bank,
To SuppIy the Demand,

To supply the Demand.
New York Journal OF Commerce.
The Comptroller of the Currency is
asking the national banks which have
less than one-third OF their circulation
In flve-dollar notes to convert enough
Of those OF a higher denomination into
hves to bring the volume of these UP
to the legal limit. in order that Ave-
dollar silver certificates may be con-
verted into ones to meet demand for
small bills. which seems to be greater
than the supply. Each bank Is asked
tn order a new plate for these add
tional five dollar notes at a cost of
S75, so that when those OF larger de-
they may be replaced. The reason why
the banks do not issue more of their
notes Of the lowest denomination now
permitted Is doubtless because 1t
venient for them to do so and their
course Is naturally determined by the
question of cost and profit: The so
called emergency currencv bill of last
year required a new form OF bank
note for all that are newly issued. and
apparently some Of the banks have not
seen At to order new plates for flveS.
which cost Just as much for enGrav-
ing and printing as fftiea
This is hardly a. matter for coer-
zion, and II the banks were in q posi-
ton to adjust their circulation to the
demand in their several localities by
Il, instead of being bound to the clum-
~ method OF circulating fractions OF
government bonds deposited in Wash.
lngton. they would DOUBTLESS meet all
demand by their customers. The trou-
BILE now is with the infexible system
imposed upon them. AS matters stand
q II fc~ the government rather than
the banks to supply the need Tor small
bills. There are over 100000, 900 OF sill
yer dollars. hve-s ixths or more OF
which are represented by .certif1cates
A considerable amount of these IT
certificates are issued of the denoni-
nation Of ten dollars. there IL no .rea-
son why there should he any silver
certificates above five dollars. II there
is a sufficient demand for these and
for ones and twos to absorb the entire
volume.

II the present disturbances In Spain
are due to desire to establish Repub-
Iican. or even to overthrow Monarchi-
cal government. It 10 dificult to UNDER
stand why the Carlists should cut any
figure. The adherents to the Carlos
family are of the deepest dyed Mon
archical tendencies. and there can he
no sort OF similarity in feeling on their
part with those who favor a liberal
constitution and laws. There Is. how
ever. discomfort from various causes
in Spain and the young King will have
hard time in suppressing the great
feeling of revolt now prevalent
throughout the kingdom. 1t has heen

II WAS NOT CREDIrABLE,

That was not at all a creditable in
cident In which Senator Stone, of Mis-
souri, was a participator. nor did he
make the matter any better by his
subsequent talk. AS the news de-
spatches stated some days ago the SEN
ator assaulted a colored waiter on 8
Pullman dining car. the alleged cause
being that the waiter was slow about
serving him, and impudent when he
complained at the delay. To the pc
lice Judge before whom he appeared he
said: Il did not strike a man: 1 slapped
Niger"
We repeat that the Senator did not
make his case any better by that re-
mark. 1t is not at all certain that the
waiter was to blame. but it is certain
that the Senator blundered In speak
ing Of 1t as he did. 1t Is lust such
things as this that keep up hard feel
ings and often unjust criticism in the
North The Hartford Times one of the
fairest among our Northern coutem-
poraries. says:
The Senator's account OF the quarrel
which he gave in a Baltimore police
court, indicates very clearly that he
was the aggressor and that he feels
priyileged to indulge In language TO-
not address to the average white Amer
lean citizen. The waiter himself
testified that, when he attempted to
explain why the Missourian had not
obtained his food as quickly as It
name. but threatened to shoot him.
It Is well to remember that there
arc good many persons yet In this
as human. and who are rather glad of
an opportunity to advertise the fact
that thev make this distinction be-
tween man" and niger" How many
by black men OF which white persons
are the victims are caused by legiti-
mate resentment on the part OF ne
groes aroused by such conduct as that
or the Missouri Senator 1t would be
worth while to know.
How can we resent such criticism
from a New England paper. and es-
peciallv one that has ALWAYS shown the
fairness and moderation displayed by
The Times? II this waiter had been
white man there would have bean
no such incident. we NAV be sure and
we claim that under like conditions

are entitled to like treatment. II this one

Want to Come to Hickman.

Yesterday afternoon two gentle
men-S. G.. Lolita and E. Rice, of
Dyersburg, Tenn, representing The
Dyersburg Northern R. r. Co..
we're in this city with proposition
to extend their road from Upton
vile, Tenn, to Hickman.
According to their idea, the new
road would come direct from Upton
vile, crossing the Fulton comfy
line just east of No. 8 Lake and
and bearing little to the north of
a straight line to this city. This
curve would enable them to follow
the highest ground.
In an address before our business
men, Mr.. Lolita submitted their pro-
position in a brief manner. They
are anxious to come to Hickman on
account of the railroad and river
connection at this place. Mr.. Hall,
the chief stakeholder of the Dyers-
burg Northern, is not interested in
extending the line. but has given the
other members OF the company so
days option on his interests, and
these gentlemen are pushing the
enterprise. Mr.. Hall has accom-
plished his purpose in building the
road to Tiptonville, which was to
open up his land.
The representatives tell US that il
viii cost $500, 900 to build the road
from Tiptonville to Hickman, which
of course includes road and equip
ment. The road alone is figured at
Sl2, 900 mile. A New York con-
CEN proposes to furnish the capital,
but want to discount the bonds IS
per cent, making it necessary for all
parties interested to raise a total of
$40 900 to meet this discount.
Should this amount be raised. il will
be held in trust by local banks until
the road is completed and in opera
tion. Memphis contractors say the
road can be, and will be. if puilt at
all, completed in six months.
They also propose to go on
through Hickman, connecting with
the M. & o. in the neighborhood of
Cayce; however line from Upton
vile to Hickman is all that will be
considered for the present.
So in a nutshell, the company
asks the people of Hickman and
Fulton county territory, which will
be benefited, to give the right-of-
way and bonus of $4,000 to as.
sure the road.
This is not an exorbitant sum con-
sidering the benefits to be derived.
Thousands of acres of land in the
bottoms will be rapidly developed
and the value greatly increased.
Hickman will be greatly benefited
for various reasons.
As a business proposition, we
should give the matter our consid-
Grafton. Railroads cannot be built
without monsy-in fact, we should
not expect something for nothing
and if we get this road we must ex-
pect to help financially.
The committee appointed by
Mayor Dillon to look into this mat
ter is composed of w. A. Dodds, II
c. Helm and A. A. Faris. Their
plan of procedure will be given
later.
Make up your mind what YOU
will do regardless of the other fell
low. We need the road.
