THE 1VII--U 'J-1V1I II II Mill - . i ESTABLISHED 1840. MEMPHIS, TENN., WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 29, 18S6. VOL. XLVI NO. 301 As interview with Senator Voor te6a 1b at any time iotereBting; -the one we pobliah in another colamn and f or which we are indebted to the Courier Journal (s especially 83, aa it deals with eeveral important national question?, but pruticularly because it gives the inside view of the contest be tween the Rupublicaca and the D;in ociats for possession of the Indiana Legislature and the electioa of a United Stins Secalor. Senator Voor heee epeaka with entire candor and frankness, and does not fail to put the boot on the rght foot. He know the polities and politicians cf the 8ute aj well rs any man in it, and aa he has fooght all along the lines that have beendrawn since 18S0, knows Ida op ponent and understands their methods. What he seys can therefore be relied np3n both what he says Of the prerent situation and of the pur pose of the Democrats to elect a ben tor. Tub labor troubles have almost reached our djos. As our special from Jackson tel's, the strikers refuse allow any traius to leave that place either for St. Louii or for Mobile, This is altogether wrong, and with fauJ miodrd people will work dieasircuel for the woiking claues. It robs them of the sympalby of avery iLfljential class that regards them ai cn a par with the dynamiters. The employes of the Mo bile and Ouio railroad have a right to stiike, but they have no right to pre vent the company frjm onsMtinir, its road. To do that is to rob it of it earnings and deny ti its stockholders the rights guaranteed them by th constitution cf tbe Btats and of the United States. The workmen at Jack' son Lave a right to combine for thei -own interests, but they have no right to prevent the company from coj bining for its interests. The labor of the country bss everything to lose and nothing to gun by these nnwise pro ceedings, and by resorting to murder ous bombs, as in Fan FaD(ijeo yes'.er day. Propel ty and life must bo mada secure at whatever f acriflca or cost, Bcpoiig the interstate commerce b 1 passes it would ba well for Congress to find out how far its provisions are ca'culated to interfere with and injure the commerce of the country. Kail road supervision is admitted, even by the leading railroad men, to be essen. tial, not only to commerce, but for tho safety of the roads one from the other. The only question is how best to a? camplish there purposes. It cannot b done by forcing arbitrary rat and compelling the roads to charge pro rata for short as for loog 1 1- -r ' iiuuiB, or vice versa, ixing cams are the remunerative part bf the business, and local rates on the same basis would ruin any company in the coun try. Oa the other hand, through rates on the average local basis would rain the Western farmer and South em planter, who could not possibly pay them. The result of such freight chargos would be that wheat would become a drasr ard cotton would ba confined to tbe local spinners in the Southern States. Lands would conse quently decrease in valua, and wide- spreai ruin won.u toilow. Tha truth is, that the railroad business is more and more every year sdjnatirg itself to the iocreassd de mands cf the public, and has already done a vast work by enabling the western Jarnior to i-n'p Jus grain to E urope at ooinpeting and rtmunera tive press, and the Southern planter to find a ready market for liis cotton. Tet there are evils to be corrected and others to be guarded againht. There fore the necessity for a Railroad Com mission, with power not to prevent pooisor tnoct ruin by putting IccjI and torongh rates on the same basis, dui to prevent discrimination and combinations nf roads against roads to ine injury ci me public . Is answer to "Tax Payer," the Ap hal bai to say that the water ques tion has been Battled. It was eeUled, nd dcff.iitely, last week by resolu tions of the Council pledging the city to build and control its own water works. An t, as a first step towards that end, it has adopted the report of the Citizens' Committee, which is conclusive as to the manner of con strut tion, the location of the point of intake and the adoption of the Hyatt filter. This settled upon, what more can be said that is not snperfi rjons, that is not unnecessary. The very fact that this is the city's attitude pre vented tho sale by the water company of its franchise and works to Bullock A Co., of New York. The failure to effect that sale leaves the Watar Works Company and the city in ex ctly the same position towards each other that they ocenpied when the agitation of the question of water works was first begun more than a year ago. It is now for the company to sell to the city and we ap prehend that that can be done on a fair basis. There is no disposition on the part of the poopla of Memphis to injure their fellow citizens who own tbe water workB. They are prepared to deal with them in a spirit of fair neea and equity. They have no desire to injure them in property or fortune, and when tbe hour for final settlement arrives wa feel cure it will be mada in a spirit of tqnity and justice to both parties. This is the attitnde of the water company to tbe city and of the Council to the people. It is, there fore, we submit, undignified in the city to entertain bids cr offers like thf of Turner, Dilliway & Ransom, of Boston, which Mr. Hadden gave to our reporter on Monday with injunc tions of secrery and n;t to publish. Tbe water question, so far as the city is concerned, has endsd. It is pledged to build and maintain its own rater works, it bai adopted a plan, aud all that is now neeii d is an authoriza tion by ths Legislature to issue bonda nd begin te work, TUE FAlLLRtS 1ES1EUDAY I JACKSOX, TESN.
