The fact that three railroads
in Alabama have gone back to
the three cent passenger rate,
following a decision of Federal
Judge Jones in their favor, is of
interest to TennesseanS because
The matter of a two and One.half
cent rate in this state was made
dependent on the action of the
conrts in the Alabama cases. 1t
is said, however, that the matter
is not settled yet, as the cases
will be carried to the United
States Supreme Court.

1t now looks as if the wounds in
the democratic party are IN a fair
way to be healed by what is called
the Editors Plan" All the fac
tons have agreed to this and the
new committee Is proceeding with
the new plan. On the 18th ofnext
month convention is to be held
in Nashville to select delegates to
the Baltimore convention to NOM
mate candidate tor President on
the democratic ticket. and elect a
new state committee. This con-
ventiOn will also adOpta democrat
ic platform for the party IN this
state for the next two years. The
new committee will call primaries
to nominate state officers about
the first of August. No agree
ment has been reached about the
provisions of the platform to be
adopted. Differences of opinion
in the party on the temperance
question are very pronounced and
Will present the hardest problems
for the convention to solve. All
the divisions of the party have
grown out of this question. 1t Is
to he hoped that democrats will
subordinate their personal views
to the general good of the party,
and some common ground may be
found on which all can unite. The
liquor question has been a dis
turbing factor all over the country
wherever it has been injected into
/ politics. 1t Is hard to quiet and
continually rises to vex the public
mind. 1t is to be hoped that the
May convention will find some so,

In the trial of the alleged muir.
derer of two Shelbyville officers,
it developes that he was an Illicit
liquor dealer; the Virginia out
laws who shot to death the court
officials who dared to call a halt
on their outlawry were illicit
liquor dealers; the bloody mob in
Ohio that killed like a dog the
brave boy officer for interfering
with their nefarious trade were
illicit liquor dealers; the black

Officer Severson and threw his
bleeding body from the train
were inhamed with the illicit

The affair was one of the best and

the earnest solicitation of many en-
thusiastic Republicans, who have been
elamoring for something of the sors

present State administration was u
revelation even to those who thought
they knew something of Democratic
