If Memphis is ever to grow with the
rapidly so long reelected, her youngest and
most pushing business men must come to the
front. We have of late fallen into dead
and alive style. Of living, self.satisfed sort
of indifference to anything like energetic
public effort that il persisted in can only end
in disaster to the general interests. Some
method should be devised fer bringing into
active play the vigorous young life that
seems just now to be showed under. Our re-
tail merchants especially should center their
influences and their means in efforts to bring
people here from the country. They Will find
the railroads perfectly wiling to do all they
can to help them. The examples Of Chicago
and Cincinnati are before us. Their musical
festivals and great dramatic entertainments,
society conventions and other gatherings are
20 msny legitimate means to the great end
of increasing the business of those cities and
attracting capital and population. Memphis
has all the talent necessary to accomplish
similar results, il only it could be unified
and brought under the direction Of
some one master mind, who would
labor uuselfshly and without thought OF
The personal eelat and ascendenoy which
curses as dead weight so many
who might be more useful 10 the best interests
of their fellows. If all our musical people
smeteurs and professionals, men ard women
could be brought together under one COM
petent leader they might give a series OF three
concerts in june that would attract thou
Fands from the surrounding towns, and thus
assert iInpressively, in one direction at least,
the supremacy Of Memphis over all the
cities fthispart of the Mississippi valley. The
Exposition building could be put in order
for such purpose by that time and made
every way comfortable and cheerful for such
an occasion. Win notGaneral Cotton Greene,
Mr.. Fontaine, Mr. Wilkins, sr., Mr.. Fursten-

"Music" says young Jim Bennett runs the
Herald on this plan: "He has run his paper
on what is known among journalists as the
shake 'em-up' basis. That is to say, at GER

foreseen, but are sure to occur, Jim orders

With thunder from the passing cloud
The wind, the forest bent and bowed,
The rush OF rain descending.
Iheard the distant ocean CALI

Drawn onward, DER this rocky wall
plunged, and the loud waterfall
Made answer TO the greeting.
And now, beset with many ills,
A toilsome life follow;
Compelled TO carry from the hills
These logs to the impatient mills
Below there in the hollow.
Yet something ever cheers and charms
The rudeuess of my labors:
Daily water with those arms
The cattle OF hundred farms,
And have the birds for neighbors.
Men call me Mad, and well they may,
When, full of rage and trouble,
burst my banks of sand and clay,
And sweep their wooden bridge away,
Like wlthereu reeds or stubble.
Now go and write thy little rhyme,
As of thine own creating.
Then seest the day IS past its prime;
can no longer waste my time;
The mills are tired of waiting.

LITTLE SCHEME THAT FELL THROUGH.
The impression prevailed in the Senate
to day that the Republicans intended to rush
the majority redistricting bill through

Democratic members, but the scheme failed.
The minority of the committee met tonight
to consider the minority report. 1t was over
the Eighth, Ninth and Tenth districts. The
only change made in the present status of
the districts was to take Upton from the
Ninth and add it to the Tenth. 1t will
finish the remainder of the report to morrow

kind having taken place within
the last hundred years (up to 1879,

was 13 theaters per annum. In the
list OF localities, London, with 81,

New York has 26, and the yet
younger San Francisco, 81. Bar.

than five times; while Astlsy's, In

been thrice laid waste by fire;
while numerous London theaters
can boast Of double eonfiagrations,
the oldest in the list being the
Globe on Bankside, which was
burned down A. D. 1913. Though
the Vienna disaster, with some
eight or nine hundred lives to its

Toberman, Mayor.

The Supreme Court has rendered
Its decision In this case, reversing
the judgment of the Superior
Court. The syllabus is as follows.
The Mayor of the city of Los
Angeles having refused to sign
contract entailing q monthly debt
OF more than $500 upon the city,
the Council, by q vote offs, ordered
its clerk to sign 1t. The charter
requires that ten members of the
Council shall be necessary to pass
any ordinance whereby any debt is
created or money is appropriated,
etc., and that contracts shall be
signed by the Mayor. except in
certain contingency, which did not
arise in this case. Held, the con.
tract was not binding on the city.
Further: Conceded that u reso-
luton passed over the objections
Of the Mayor by "four-flfths of the
members at that time actually
constituting the Council" auth or.
izing the clerk to sign the contract,
would be valid; such resolution
was not passed In this case.

wind having blown off some, but a
good portion of this has bsen saved
and shipped away.
