TO SECURE HIS DEFEAT

and elect a Republican. Yet, personally, /
am his friend, and can but protest against
the attempt of a self-styled "prominent
Memphis man" to place him in such false
position as does the article above referred to.
Colonel Young is an old resident of Mem.
phis, and is anxious to see Memphis on the
high road TO prosperity, and in his efforts TO
secure an appropriation TO complete the gov
ernment buildings at Memphis and protect
the river front is only carrying out the
wishes OF our city government, our Chamber
of Commerce, and our citizens universally,
and our immedI ate representative, the Hon.
William r. Moore, and Senator Harris, also
a resident of Memphis, are in full accord
with him. Colonel Young did, during his
term as a member of Congress, succeed in
SECURING AN APPROPRIATION
for continuing the work upon the public
building at Memphis, the original appropri-
alton having been secured by a Republican
member OF Congress, yet no such amount as
is mentioned in the article above referred to.
As 10 the assertion that he Stuck $4,000
more in the river bluff 10 keep his home
from cavlng in" IT is so at variance with the
facts in the case, as is well known by every
bona fde citizen of Memphis, that can only
conjecture it as the offspring of a badly
diseased and highly prejudiced mind. The
river front at the upper end of the city has
been caviDg for many years, and The govern
ment engineer corps has that matter well in
hand. The insinuation and charge that the
appropriation now asked for TO protect the
| river front and harbor of Memphis is only il
the interest of "three of the wealthiest cor
| porations in the Southwest" is SO
ABSURD AND WITHOUT FOUNDATION
| in fact, that il does not deserve notice, as j
also the charge in reference to building
macadamized road to the National Cemetery
The road, if built, would, of course, be 10
Gated by the United States engineer corp
upon the best practical route, and not in ih
interests of any set of men. My opinion j
that "a Prominent Memphis Man" is s.
tinctured with prejudice against anything
national that he takes this method of show
ing his petty spite as regards all government
undertakings. As to his slur upon the Hon
William X. Moore, am satisfied Mr. Moor
is abundantIy able to take care of himself
and not play second fiddle to Colonel Youn
or even "a Prominent Memphis Man." w
know that Mr.. Moore is an industriou
worker for the good of his constituents, an
will make no unreasonable demand upon th
government, and bis high character for hor
es,y and integrity is an ample guarantee thu
be will never be found aiding or absttiDg an
scheme for defraudiDg the government.

Making Hay while the sun shines.

The governor called extra session No. 8 to
consider the 60-4, 5 and proposition as the
last that could be obtained from the bond
holders The first act OF his friends in the
called session was to send committee Of
their number to New York to reconfer and
see if better proposition cannot be obtained.
Meanwhile, the Legislature is lying about
loose waiting for something 10 do. How
much better it would have been to have left
the whole question till next winter to be
acted upon by legislature fresh from the
people. The governor doubtless thought ii
wise to make hay while the sun shines; for

Yes! tbs better to have loved

Yes! tits better 10 have loved
Tho we have loved and lost,
And on life's dark, temptuous sea
Our lonely barque is tossed.
Oh its better TO have loved,
Tho DER our buried dead
Our hearts first 50 Oldest grief is poured,
Our bitter tears are shed
IT'S better 10 have loved, altho'
The voice whose gentle tone
Has made the music of our life
Is silent, hush'd and gone;
Altho' the deep and earnest eyes
In which we read OF yorc
The fond, mild-anSweriug look OF love
Will meet our gaze no more
lis better to have loved, altho'
The hopes that once had-fiung
Their brightness on our path have long
Upon the willows hung:
Tho we may feel their light has set
Within the silent tomb
That henceioTth must our passing hours
Be clOuded by its gloom
For in our hearts, with hallowed power.
Will live their memory still,
And the sad shadows of the past
Fond, gentle visions fill.
We feel that we have something left
Their influence is around;
Borne ON the winds soft melody
We hear their voiceless sound.
Alas the heart that De'er has loved,
That has not lost a friend;
How can il with another's cares
Another's sOrrows blend2
Then. tho upon the happy past,
Griei's sable curtains fall,

Than never TO have loved at all

dozen blocks were burned they were in the

valuable property, and the engines from
Chicago and Milwaukee arrived in time to
