When all is overall the tender yearning,
The hopes and fears that words could never

When from the last look love. in anguish turn

Hath measured all the nise.y Of farewell;
When blinds are opened. and with tsar-wora
faces
We meet the aching light Of every dag,
Knowing that from the dear accustomed places
The loved ole hath forever gone away
Across that throbbing sea Of separation
Whereon we drift alone, uncontrolled,
There com IS a voice OF hope and consolation,
That whispers softly; BLESSED are the
dead"
And suddenly, with clearer vision gifted,
We see them radiant on the farther shore;
All burdens from their weary fingers lifted,
From pain and death set free for evermore.
And. reckoning thus the bliss OF our departed,
Though grief still claims its bitter need Of
tears
We can go forth, no longer brol1enhearted
To face the strangeness Of the altered years;
All love for US made sacred by that sadness,
All hope henceforth purer thing to be;
Till we, too, stand where. in undreamed-of
gladness,
Death shall be swallowed up IN victoryi

THE REGFSTR14TKOM LAW-.

There are indications in Ten
nessee, as in other States, that the
Republican politicians have dis
covered that all ballot reform laws
operate against Them. hence they
are using every means in theirpow-
CT to- defeat them. In, Tennessee
where they are sadly in tie minor
ity,. the practice of refraining from
voting under our registration law
issrssorted to in the towns where it
is in effect. Ehis was illustrated
in the election Of the mayor of
Nashville Tuesday-"th the Republi-
cars and negroes were conspicuous
for their absence" It remains to
be seen what effect their action
will have onthe popular mind. It
is argued that prominent Demo-
Gratis, did, not take the trouble to
register for the mayoralty contest.
True, but from the. fact that the
opposition had no candidate in the
field for the above stated reason
to'weaken the influence of the reg
istrationlaw- aad&hey declinedto
register If the Republicans had
shown disposition to carry outthe
will of the law and registered their
full strength, the result would have
been different. The Democrats
would have swarmed about the reg
istration booths and runners sent
out to marshal the, absent ones ia
their duty
If the law is not applied to town
elections it should not apply to gen
eral elections. 1.-the law is a good
one it should be uniform and uni.
versalg There is just SIS much neeC
OF honest voting at town elections
as atgeneral elections bribery anC
bull-dozing are just as common il

in the State or National elections
Make the law universal, registet
the voters twelve months prior tx
the general election, and let thu
registration cover all local or tow
