bonds FOR A RAmRoAn.

Last week three thousand citizens
OK Pennsylvania County. North Caro-
lima, met at Brevard to endorse the
Issue of 100000 of bonds for
the purpose of building the Knoxyi1Ie
and Greenville Railroad The peo-
pie on the South Carolina side Of the
mountains are said to be expecting
great benefit from the connection
with Knoxville which this road will
furnish" Doubtless; but it is hoped
that after the road is built the three
thousand people of Pennsylvania who
have endorsed the bond issue will not
try to escape their payment
We have all been interested at times
in the issue of township and other
bonds in aid of railroad construction,
and the Court reports contain good
many cases of where these enthusiasts
tic communities have sought to es-
cape their responsibility for the bonds
structed. We all know also how hard
1t is for railroad builders to collect
! these obligations" after the roads
have been graded and the ties have
been laid down and the rails have
been hammered into place. 1t is a
favorite diversion with alleged
Statesmen to bait the railroads
when they are not able to help them
selves.
The body-politic has done things in
this country which the individual
could not do without losing his char
acter for common honesty and fair
dealing. We hope, again, therefore
that the enthusiastic Pennsylvania
people will pay those bonds when they
fall due without resorting to litiga-
ton for relief"

PULLING For PATTERSON.

Why is it that the Nashville Ameri
can has taken the side Of Governor
Patterson in the present campaign in
Tennessee? What does it expect to
gain for the State by its attitude? 1t
10 true that he is the regular nomi-
nee of the so-called regular Democra-

chine, but is he the sort of person
that should be Governor of Tennes-
see? A great many outsiders, who are
just as loyal to the Democratic party
as the supporters of Mr. Patterson can
be, think that 1t would be good
thing for him to be defeated. Thou
sands of Democrats in Tennessee
think the same way, because they
realize that Patterson's election means
not only that he Is to be the chief
executive officer of the State, but that
the Courts as well are to be under
his domination.
