The People and the Bailroads.
There can be no doub' in ihe mind
of any intelligent man in 'he state, that
the in going gubernatorial campaign
hinges on the question of commission,
or no e nimission. This question,
not the man, is the issue. Those who
oppose General Hogg, dtnounce the
commission idea as ccmmunistic, at
least in tendency because th majority
o< the people who are supporters of
Gene al Hogg, believe in the regula-
tion of railroads. This idea :s as far
fe ched and unfounded in cc mtion
sense ard reason, as if one shou'rf
charge railrt.ads with communstic ten-
dencits because they do have the
right to regulate the people by means
of a commission. S me who support
General Hogg believe in the regu'a-
tion of railroads through a commission
of limited powen.
A rough but nearly exact definition
of communism, is the acquisition by
one man of another's property, or a
part of it without paying for it. In
this state, and in every state of the
union, any cit'zen who passes across
the premises of another against his
will is a trespasser, andean be punish-
ed as such. The railroads, under the
laws of Texas, can make lineal surveys
across any man's land or across those
of the state No one calls this com-
¿nunism, but it is an extraordinary
right, It would be communism, if the
individual citizen, #úh motley enough
to build a railroad, dared to attempt
to exercise this right which is accorded
to railroads. Jay GDuld, as the rep-
resentative of a railroad corporation,
may enter upon private lands witV out
being guilty of a trespass, but Jay
Gjuld as a citizen has no such power
Railroads in the s ate of Ttx ts may
appropriate such lands as are neces
sary for the running of its tracks along
the projected lines, mapped in its
charter. If the road and the cit'zen
cannot ag-ee on ihe price, the coucty
court can appoint a commission of
thrte to appraise the property. D íes
this commission, as Judge Cook says
of the railroad comm ssion, embody in
itself all the functions of all the thr e
co-ordinate brarchesof govenment?
If the man whose property is con-
demned is not satisfied with the de-
cission of this railroad commission, he
can appeal to the courts. If he can
get a larger price before a jury well
and good. If not, it is right that in
the interest of the general welfare, he
should surrender his property at the
commissioner's price.
To the attention of Mr. Cook and
Mr. Wheeler and some other lawyers
from the "roorial deestricts," who do
not keep up with the reports of the
supreme court of the United S ates,
The Times commends the careful per-
usal of the decision in the case of the
Minneapolis railway company vs. the
state ot Minnesota. It is reported in
the twentieth number of the Supreme
Court reporter, which costs only four
bits. There, the supreme court of the
United States held that a railroad com-
mission could not unalterably fix the
rates of freight. The roads had the
same right to appeal from the people's
commission of three, as the people
have to appeal from the railroads com-
mission of three. In other words, the
railroad commission, under the ruling
of the supreme court, simply fix up
the pleadings and give a man a chance
to contest the fairness of the rates
c iarged by the road.
Neither General Hogg nor the leg
islature, nor the people of Texas, can
get up a commission with powers
greater than those to w'n'ch the su-
preme court of the United States has
restricted railroad commissions in this
case.—San Antonio Times.

Germicide with great success to the
people who bought it. I sold two
gallons to a man who had been suf-
fering with dyspepsia for 15 years; he
says Southern Germicide has entirely
cured him. I have had pneumonia
three tim< s within the last three years,
and I have been able to-4p but little
work; I have pains in my breast all
the time, and had a very bad cough.
The first gallon of Germicide cured
me, and I went to woik. I use Germ-

failed to cure me yet. I send $6 00,

The politicians continu: to advise
the farmers to 1et politics alone. Yet
they are ready to advise them to fight
certain wrongs that all acknowledge.
How can the farmer expect to accom-
plish anything in the fight for refotm
by ignoring politics. The very idea
is absurd. H jw are they going to
Ight trusts, pools and the iniquitous
tariff except in politics ? It is not the
ntention of the farmer to take up pi!-
tics, b'it to get deeper into polili s
that the/ may become, more fam liar
vith ihe rm-th xls of the po iti :iam for
he purpose of di pUcing demagogues
and put into power men who are the
rusted friends of the people.

The Parmer in Politics.
The democratic farmers of Tennes-
see have named the democratic can-
didate for governor of the old volun-
ieer state-the Hrn John P. Buchan-
an and what is more, they have
•ramed a p'atform upon which every
democrat ic Tmressfe can stand.
Al' h inor to them, and all success to
him ! Some of us were for Patterson,
some for Max er and some for Taylor.
1 o-day we are all for Buchannan
The democratic party of Tennessee
accepts the nomination and every true
d« mocrat will strive to make his vic-
tory glorious Now what shall we say
i f the political solidarity of the farmer
as manifest d in so mar<y states, nor-
thern and southtrn? Surely the helm-
of the eld sh p of state, in their hands
will be well guided. It was the "em-
batih d farmers" who more than a hun-
dred years ago fired the shot for lib-
rty heard 'round the wcrld. It was
the farmers who gave to mankind the
Declatation of Independence and the
Constitution of the United States. It
was the farmers who led the way for
civilizat i n from 1'iymouth Rock to
G )lden G ae, from the land ot the
palmetto to where Mis the Oregon.
Never was the democratic pat ty—the
sheet anchor < f the sonthera hope—so
strong as in this hour, when the farm-
ers of the s ut have accepted that or-
gm zation as the instrumentality
through which they may work out
thtir salvat'on fr m the iniquitous laws
of republican 1 gis'atioi th#t have
grour d them to the earth. It is dem-
ocratic Ark of the cov nant which they
rear alo<*>; it is the democratic gospel
to which they turn for counsel; it is
the democratic banner about which
they rally. It is happy day for Ten-
nessee and for the south that Gncina-
tus has come from his plow. This is
the recoid The democratic party ot
Tennessee, in convention assembled,
has nominated for governor the presi-
dent of the Farmers Alliance of Ten-
nessee, upon a platform, not a tran-
script of the Alliance code, bat predic-
ated sultly u.ir n the immortal o tine
of Tnomas Jefferson. Truly the state
ib safe. It s in the faim houses of
Anitnc; that the lamp of liberty is
kfpt burning it its brightest: There
^oihhall find freedom's stronghold;
there, the potemial virtues that have
made the republic magnificent among
the nationsof tVe earth. Tnmendojs
is the ie p nsib lty which the demo-
cratic nominee has assumed. E!e<t-
ed, the fanners who have given 1 im
the high office will hold him t) the
strictest account. As his sponrori
they will be nis severest critics. He
must give to the ttate of Tenncree
an admitis'ration wh ch shall justify
the farnie's in their choice. He must
show that those who gave him their
support were not mistaken. We be-
lieve that he will meet the full m:as-re
of popular expectati. n; that his ad-
ministration will be a admira >le as
hi4 cinvass lor the nomination has
been brilliant; that, backed b/ the
aroused farmers of Tennessee, he will
achieve a tnum ih in Novem >er which
wi I quicken the democrat c hea t
throughout the whole length and
breadth of ihe land. Not less loyal,
not less honest not Ws enthusiastic,
will be the democrats of Shelby cou j
i i his support than they would have
had the convention chosen as the
party's standard bearer, the man
whom they preferred. The conten-
tions of the primaries, the rivalries of
the conven ion are n >w forg ttrn.,
The decree has gone forth. The
judgment has been recorded, the
leader has been named. We shall
no* face the common enemy, every
cohort wheeling *ffto l'n ■, eyes to the
front, shoulder to shoulder, bayonets-
fued and the colors advanced, while
the band plays "Dixie's Lind.' And
thus it shall come about that the dem-
t crats of Tennessee, united, militant
and bravely led will rjll up the great-
er of theb majorities—
"When the frost is on the pun kin
And the fodder's in the shock.'"
