 NASHVILLE, Teun. Jau. 19.-The repub- licans in the senate today abandoned their flibustering tactics of last night and re- spouded to their names at roll call, a quorum being present. The gubernatorial contest was taken up and the morning ses- sion was consumed in it's discussion. The republicans are using their most persuasive arguments against the passage of the present bill, claiming that it is partisan measure and that it will be drawn withG view to retaining Govern or Turney D office.
 It seems to be the impression today tlht the repu blicans will desist now from fuf- tEer fiiibusttring until the final votS'is taken, in the meantime doing all thsy}can to defeat the bill. .

rho Recent ArtExnihit.

Editor Times, Dear Sir: While not per-
sonaIly interested in the recent art exhibit
at the Cosmos club rooms must say that
not only in my own opinion but that of
many others some of the decisions of the
committee can find neither excuse nor
justification. 1t is known that paintings
were rejected, which were as good as the
best among those accepted The reasons
for rejection are inferred, and need 10
comment. But it should be beneath the
dignity of any one To reject picture SIM
ply because the artist has the merit of being
the pupil Of one OF the best professional
artists in the city, and because those on the
committee are jealous of that artist Why
cannot Washington have an art exhibit
which will show the best production of our
best artists instead OF one run in the inter
ests OF a certain number of amateurs, as
was evident in the erecentexhibit. Fewreal
artists will exhibit at the Cosmos, for the
reason that their pictures are ''skied," so
as not to show a too great contrast with
the amateur work. The excuse that good
pictures were rejected because the artists
might feel fiattered and not try to do bet
ter work is altogether too transparent.
Some of the later local exhibits were
acknowledged to be far superior as whole
to the one supposed to truly represent Wash
iugton art. s. W. MARAT.

Dens of vilcst Tniquity.

Editor Times: The earnest and COM
meudable efforts put forth by The Times
to exterminate one of the worst dens OF
iniquity that ever ex isted within the
moral atmosphere of the uation's Capital.
certainly merits the active ard earnest CO.
operation of every true citizen who is n
friend TO morality. Let those VITO ale in
vested with authority investigate these
evils. "ThoSe who are not Tor us are
against u.s."
The Times is defending grand and noble
cause. and its efforts VIII be crowned with
success. 1t is the opinion OF many that the
time is not far distant when The Times
will have the pleasure of seeing those dens
OF immortality obliteIated, "as the hand
writing has been seen on the wall" The
Times has proven Itself true friend of the
people aud morality. And when it does
accomplish the end il has in view, 1T will
justly merit the commendaton, well done,
thou gcod and faithful servant"
1t is within the power OF the press and
pulpit to call a halt TO and exteTminate
these Gens OF vilcst iniquity, an evil that
is making shipwreck daily. Promising
young men who are the idol of theirmothefs'
hearts and might be eprominentinsociety, are
daily being trained and made subjects for
the jails,. penitentiaTies, and galiows 1t
is appalling 10 think that such a disgrace
should be allowed 10 exist, and yet is daily
the offenders TO speedy justice.
Surely the Virginia officers are rot deaf,

when they will have TO give an account
of their stewardship. Yours truly,

fifty cents to know it. II too fast, you viii be
informed of the amount aud the company will

Notice should be taken, also, that the meter

silver dollar sodered on the top, showing
it to have been tested. Inmy case it did not

gambling hell known as the Old Dominion

surely crooked, and / consider them high
