LET Us HAVE PEACE. /"

We published yesterday a communi
cation signed Peace" in which the
writer disapproves the action of the
Democratic Committee in providing that
the people may express their preference
for United States Senator at the ballot
box. 1t is merely ia the nature of a
suggestion, which the people may adopt
or not, as they see fit and proper. There
are questions of far higher Importance
than the United States Senatorship. 1t
has been said, with sarcasm, that we
have practically been without Senator
for several years, and if this is the fact,
let US remember that what has teen can
be endured again. The questions to
which we refer come home to the people
in the shape of high local taxation, an
inquisitorial assessment law, bewilder-
ing tax schedules. houses for rent by the
hundred yards. untitled fields, tagging
enterprises aud untold discouragements
to all manner Of labor and industry.
But if the people viii vote their prefer
ence in this matter, and a majority
should vote for any one man, The mem.
bers elected at the same time to the
Legislature could not ignore the will of
the people. One and all they would IN
honor and duty be bound to respect such
popular expression. If, however, only
a scattering vote is polled for this and
that man, the successful candidates will
have to assume the responsibility, and
as their names are called, vote as may
seem best for the welfare of the great
State of Tennessee. he who under
such grave circumstances would permit
his prejudices or his mere personal pre-
ferenees to warp his Judgment would be
unworthy to represent the grand old
county of Shelby in the halls of the
Legislature. We would say, inasmuch
as the action Of the committee has been
criticised: let the people all express
their preferences one way or the other,
or disregard it entirely. Let them dis
cuss the matter and come to an under
standing, and thus dispose of vexed
and improbable question.
