railroad from Shreveport to Memphis,
Tennessee; and il they shall fail to Sc.
cure such amendment, then to withhold
their support altogether from said bill.
+ When the first resolution was passed
it was understood that the bill before
Congress included Memphis as one OF
the termini of the road and that all we're
on an entire equal footing. The resolution
passed almost unanimously. But as soon
as it reached Washington n OF our
members ~telegraphed the fact that Mem
phis and, in fact, all of Tennessee not
drained by the Northwestern railroad,
which has almost a direct St. Louis con-
nection and runs ~diagonally across the
State to Georgia, was left out in a neck
ofwoods. The Shelby delegation, backed
by a portion Of West Tennessee only
and the most of East Tennessee, made
haste to press through the second reso-
luton. 1t may be of interest to state,
en- pareuthesis, that Holmes Cummins,
of Upton county, and nearly all the
Middle Tennessee members, bitterly op-
posed the last resolution, but for what
reason we need not here inquire. This
is a part of the history Of a matter
fraught with big Importance to the peo.
pie of Tennessee.

CITY POLITICS.

1t is unfortunate tor the city thht We
have no Democratic Conservative exeeu-
tive committee to arrange the details OF
the approaching municipal canvass. The
County Committee perhaps has no au-
thority to act, at least it declines to do
so. The matter rests solely with the
people. They are aware that if there is
not a we~ll-organized effort Memphis, Ike
Nashville, will have a Radical Mayor for
the next two years. A Radical Mayor
would use his influence against US in the
important elections of next year, and
politicians of the Ed Shaw stripe would
be encouraged to make adesperate strug-
gle for restoration to power. In doing
so appeals would be made TO the worst
passions and the groyeling prejudices OF
a class that always responds to the art
full demagogue. Memphis cannot afford
TO let these disturbing and disOrganizing
elements have the ascendsney. 1t is a
question of law and order and decency-
a question Of business, Of dollars
and cents, and property values as
well as personal security and the
best interests of society. The bust
ness men aud good citizens gener-
ally have the same reasons for TAX
ing an active par! in this election that
they had in the Bartlett movement. Dis
c~ussion is now in order among the peo'
pie. The election comes of on the 18th
of January. There is time enough, but
not much to lose. Politicians are in the
field at work already trying to mauufac-
ure public opinion. Combinations are
ON foot looking not only to the August
election, but strange as it may seem, even
TO the November election and the Sena
torial question that will come before the
next Legislature. Support, Offices and
honors, we have good reason to believe,
