The Assessors bill becomes law by
reason of the fact that the Governor
neither approved nor vetoed it. The Gov
ernor's course in the matter amounts to an
approval. The Legislature had just as
well, while it was about it, have extended
the terms of all county oficers.-Ward
Reflex.
We agree with our contemporary. A
sigh Of relief would go up from every cor
ner OF the State if the election 'possum
play were acted once in four instead Of two
years. But Black Wallace, who ia q pa
triot, thought he couldn't pack so much at
once, and he contented himself with what
he calls the entering wedge. When the
next Legislature meets he will doubtless
be there and complete his programme Of
reform.

In New York, says the Enterprise, they
not only kick dead lions, but also live
ones, as soon as they appear to be little
sick. Now they are after Jim Keene.
Said the interviewer: "What is the situa-
ton Of James Keene now?" "Well, we
don't know" said the big authority, and
then went right on as follows: This is
sure, that he is no longer an influential
quantity in the stock market. He is said
to have an interest in some new pipeline
company to bring oil to the seaboard, and
some think he is also speculating in wheat
and produce; but in the stock market he

THERE is some danger of the msnufac-
ture of sympathy for Marsh Polk. For his
wife, children and relatives there ought 10
be heartfelt sympathy in every part of Ten
nessee-but for him, none. For i've years
he has been deliberately robbing the
State and coOlly investing her money
Tor his own private uses His crime ought
to be made Odious by the strength Of a cor.
rect public sentiment opposed TO all forms
OF robbery and cuIation, and if he can be
arrested he ought 10 be, and should be pun
>lshed 10 the full extent Of the law. We say
this not in anger at The culprit, but in JUS
tice to the people whom he has betrayed
while filing a pace of homer. No
man who knows right from wrong
can for moment condone the
crimes Of Marsh Polk. They we're deliber-
ately committed and continued through Eve
years. The matter touching his defalcation
which we publish this morning will be found
TO strengthen this position and justify the en-
forcsment Of the EXTREMIST rigors Of the law.
