Constitutional Amendment.

Az viz lucC oCooAOSt Va VhO 0OuCl al
Assembly of the State of Tennessee
a joint resolution was introduced,
and passed, submitting the question
of an amendment to the COnstitu.
ton of the State to a vote Of the
people, prohibiting the manufacture
and sale of all intoxicating liquors
as a beverage. Under the provis.
ions of the Constitution the resolu-
ton introduced and passed at the
lAst session by a majority Of both
houses must be submitted to the
next General Assembly and passed
by q two-thirds vote. When that
work is accomplished then the
Legislature provides by act FIR the
submission Of the question of such
amendment to the Constitution to
the people at special election call
ed for that purpose, and If MAORI
ty Of all the voters in the State vote
for it then it becomes a part of the
organic law of the State; but such
constitutional amendment ia not
self-operative, but it requires that
such enactments shall be made as
may be necessary to carry into
effect such constitutional provision.
1t Is said there are men who are
now arraying themselves against
the question of a submission to the
people as to what shall be the status
Of the liquor traffic. The principle
as proposed is entirely democratic
and republican, as we profess that
all power comes from the people in
a free, representative government;
and just how man can oppose the
people exercising this right to vote,
when he processes to be in favor of
freedom to all, is not explained
very easily, as the voting is con-
stitutional right guaranteed by
the Declaration of American indie
pendence.
The men who vote are not re-
quired to vote for the adoption Of
the Amendment, but they have the
right to vote against it's adoption if
they wish whisky sold as drink.
The question of the passage by the
Legislature determines nothing ex-
cept to submit the question to the
people. And certainly none but a
tyrant would refuse that privilege.
If we were opposed to the passage
of the law we would favor the
adoption Of the joint resolution, as
that is in accordance with the lib
erty of the people. II candidate
comes to you for your vote and
says he opposes the submission OF
: this question, beware of him, as he
would tyranize over you or sell you
into slavery. Ask every man who
asks your vote how he stands or
this question, and If he stops to say
he is for something else-local Op
ton or license-he is not a friend O
the people. This question is now
before the people Of the State, ant
what is demanded is to submit i
to them for their decision, and in /;
fair expression a m jority SHOULD
always submit.

years. When boy President
Van Buren sent him u commission

duct i'll rescuing the crew Of II boat
run down by Fulton ierryboat,
on the Eas, river. He was assig-
ned to the Lcvant. The other
other midshipmen refused to mess
with him because he had been
common sailor before the mast,
and while on his way to JON the
Gulf squadron he challenged thir
teen OF them to fight. Some with
drew their associate with him, but
he fought seven Of them, one after
in New Orleans and IIa-
wanna, escaping without scratch
on himself, but marking tonr of his
for life.

wounds thirteen in all-on his
body than any other living Ameri-

FALL ELECTION.

Candidates for local offices are
becoming as thick as maggots in
an English cheese-and several of
the candidates are suggestive OF
maggots, III that they bear about
the same relation to the human
creation that maggots do to the
insectivorous family or species.
Most, if not all who have presen-
ted themselves, are Democrats, to
the best Of their knowledge and be-
lief, though few OF them could de-
fine the word, or discriminate the
difference between Democrat or
Republican. Like the Irlshman
who heard the word nepotism ="
used in a political sense 50 often,
adopted it in his own speech, until
one day he was challenged to de-
fine the word, when he responded:
" You must think I'm a fool en-
tirely nepotism is slaping with a
nager."
Full returns of all candidates are
not in yet, but the following par
tial list may prove interesting to
our local readers :
SHERIFF-J. r. Brent, the pres
ent incumbent, who is sci wing by
appointment, and A. q. l!unter.

tributed SO much towards electing

far as known, is Ed. Berry, whom
Jim says is Il black Republican.
Ed. denies it, however, and says
he is bla k Democrat. That he
i. black, Is beyond question, and
we leave the matter with the dis
putants.
School SUIT. DR. Lane wants

sure.

of the offices indicated, can secure

Ants communicate information

They recognize one another after a
long absence they build great
edifices, keep them clean, close the

tunnels under rivers they collect
food for the community, and when
an object too large tor entrance is

HOWLING HOLINESS.
Get there-Eli Religion, and Slang
Singing Soul Savers
Lincoln, N. NJ. July 10, SO

Your lay sermon in last week
issue prompts me to express few
ideas relative to the sacri religion,
tendencies OF pretentiouS moral
lists and the pretensions of sacri
religious moralists.
The bull-whacking idea of gos
pei guidance may do very well fol
the Sam Small and Sam Jone,
cushion cutters, cloud pushers anc
sky pilots, but when 1t comes to tho
soul saving sweetness that con
sciencious reconciliation gives t.
the charity that forgiveth all sin
and reclaims repentent soul to
the bosom ofGod, we must llft
our minds higher than is directe d
by funny sermon and iacetlous
PRONUNCIATION OF gospel truth and
consolation.
| cannot agree witt you that
we are better now than at any time
since Adams, We couldn't have
have been much better before HIM.
The only prominent man in Amori-
ca who seems to appreciate our
present status, is Henry Ward
Beecher and the sad experiences
Of my young lie is contirmatory of
what he says, " We are now pass
ing through al age OF modification
and disgrace.
Money seems the ruling passion,
and the " root OF evil is sought
to the sacrifice of honesty and
truthfulness to such an extent that
the yirtue Of homes is destroyed
in the all-pervading tendency to
realize in dollars and cents.
You say well when you assert
that we want more of heaven and
less OF hell, from the pulpit. We
are warned that VIC will roast
through eternity for our transgres-
sions, and but very seldom en-
couraged with the happiness in
our reward for virtue or the shun-
ming of evil.
We have the Salvation Army
with its come to-Jesus-jane, :"
" Soal-Searching- Mary, "Shout-
LoudLiz" and Devil Drivor-Sal. :"
The several companies parade
the streets Of our cities and incite
rdicule and blasphemy, and all in
the name Of religion.
We have also a brace of gospel
sharks in Sam Jones and Sam
Small, who whoops religion at a
man and tell stories that are as flat
as the below of lost bull calf.
Their method is q sort Of hair pull
ling salvation that causes more sa-
criligous effects than can well be
estimated. When it comes to
pounding soul into subIection
with base ball bat, the sinner
takes toe muck fun in his own sal
vation to have it sincere.
Spurgeon has destroyed rever-
ence for his ideas in the worldli
ness of his manncr Beech has
created distrust because he lodges
all direct points that are syllogisti
cally put to his attention Talmage
makes you laugh and you forget
his Solid facts and beutiful fancy
in the drolleries he utters and the
hyperbole of his rhetoric We
have our Surchards who meddle
in politics and get cussed by more
people than they will ever live to
save. And so on, could name
fifty more who have adopted the
present sensational method OF
preaching, and call 1t the voice Of
religion.
There seems to bc a continuous
lie running through everybody and
everything and sincerity is almost
a lost virtue We in the tar west
may congratulate ourselves that the
damnable, cowardly lnsincerity OF

To My Wife

An old friend Of ours recently
died at Wyandott, Kansas-Judge
Al. ID. Newman. When he felt
that the cold hand OF death was
tightening its hold upon him, he
called to his wife, and she hand
ing him his memoranda book as
requested, he took from it and
handed her, the following touch
ing lines:
Ono of us darling. with heart-rendng anguish
Must stay here below while the other goes
hence
See the lips pale and forever grow silent
Watch the death struggle with sorrow intense.

To go ON before ana let this lot he thine 2
one of us darling, with heart sorely bleeding,
Must go on with life meath this burden Of woe.
Listening in vain &c the footstep familiar,
And voice that forever is hushcd here below.
Dark seems the day with such sorrow be-
clouded,
Whose they shall be is now hidden from view;
May the dear Father he pleased to deal kindly
And order our lives so such days may be few.
One of us darling, through all of this sorrow
Must pass, and at last com e to deaths door
alone
Miss from the bed side the face that is dearest,
And the clasp of a hand that is true ana best

to comfort
And give calm Joy that viii scatter all pain
