A RESOLUTION was introduced into the
late Bartlett meeting to the effect that the
State tax shall not in the future exceed
twenty cents on the hundred dollars. 1t
was supported by Emerson Etheridge.
Now the Memphis Ledger says paper is
being circulated there, in which the

candidate for the Legislature who will not
pledge himself to vote for that rate. The

"twent-cents" men in the following re-
freshing style:
OF too small calibre to make a figure in
any body of honest, earnest men, they
have a chronic habit of attracting atten-
ton to themselves by the cheap device of
"bolting." We dislike togive them so much
as the dignity of denunciation, and our
only excuse is that the people may have
timely warning of their wiles.

All men who avoid female society have
dull perceptions and are stupid, or have
gross tastes, and revolt against what is

sucking the butts of billiard cues all night,
call female society insipid.

SPEAKER OF THE ENGLISH COMMONS

It's not the custom to change Speakers
\ the lower house of the English Parlia-
rnent, as is done in this country, with the
change of political parties. 1t is one of the
Offices where, by common consent, the in
cumbent is retained for year, if he dis
charges his duty faithfully. 1t was not
remarkable, therefore, when, on the assem-
bling Of the new Disraeli Parliament few
days ago, Gladstone's friend, Mr.. Brand,
vas again voted in without the slightest
opposition. The elections deposed his
leader but retained the Speaker. Mr.
rGsnuess sutton was Speaker Of Parlia-
rrent from 1917 to 1873.
In speaking Of this Office an exchange
says:
The Office is one of great antiquity. by

the first Speaker in 1900; by others that
