The athletic club question has
emerged from its hiding place and is
taking its annual airing.
If we are to have football team this
season worthy of Kenosha, it is high
time that the matter was taken in
hand and arrangements made to start
practice early next month. SO that when
the first game is played the result will
not disgrace the town as has so often
been the case IN former seasons, owing
to the players being 6 green.

Something ought to be done about
leaving the bridge open an unnecessar-
lily long time, especially during the
hours when business and working men
are going to and from their homes.
This morning the bridge opened at 7:3O
to let the Mary Collins pass through,
and kept open for an hour. The city
authorities ought to compel the vessel
owners to hire a tug if they can not get
through the bridge in five minutes at
the outside.

The DeHeHct Sen ate.

An all-day Sunday session Of the
United States Senate is not such an
edifying spectacle as to give special
delight to the people of a professedly
christian land. The Senate has had
three months in which to attend to
a comparatively small amount of
business, and has made shameful
misuse of its time. The most i'm
portant work of congress, the appro-
priation bills, has been neglected
while the senators played small pol
itics and wrangled over questions
which, with the dilltory rules that
obtain in the senate, it was impossi-
BILE to settle at the short session.
Two whole days were wasted last
week in the Sanguilly fasco that
might have been spent in the profit
able dispatch of business, and the
necessity for Sunday session
avoided.
The United States Senate needs
reforming. 1t is pleased to denom-
mate itself defiberative body, but
it's deliberations are too tedious and
too much without result to please
the thOrough-going people of the
United States in this live business
era. The senate is really an obstruct-
i've body, with little capacity for
business. 1t has small control over
its own actions. Any one member
can talk as long as he pleases on any
subject and prevent at his pleasure
the passage of important bills.
And there is too much of politics
in the senate. A great deal Of time
is consumed there in the play of fac
tions for political advantage that
might better be devoted to matters
more nearly concerning the welfare
of the country.
Such party questions as the tariff
and finance were, because of the pre-
conditions, entirely elimin-
ated from the work of the present
session Of congress-, and there was
little else to do except to attend to
the appropriation bills, but consid-
Grafton of these important measures
has been crowded to the closing days
Of the session, and the senate finds
it necessary to sit all day Sunday in
order to rush them through.
1t would vastly improve the Sen
ate if its rules could be amended so
IS to resemble those that Speaker
Reed has introduced in the House.
More action and less talk is needed
here, more business and less poll

Memphis in Mask.

MEMPHIS, March 2.-The attempt
to revive Mardi Gras in Memphis
was warmly received by the public,
and henceforth there will doubtless
be observance of the merry-making
season in pretentious style. Mask
ing to-day was quite general, and
with degree of discriminating taste
that demonstrated considerable ex-
pense. This afternoon there was a
highly creditable parade under the
auspices of the Mysterious Thir-
teen," the organization proposing to
re-establish Mardi Gras on a scale of
increasing grandeur. The Shriners
and United Charities balls occurred
tonight, the former at the Lyceum,
the latter at the Auditorium.

WHTTEVTLLE.

No town in Hardeman coun-
ty, or, in fact, in West Tennes-
see, has improved more rap
idly within the past few years
than Whiteville. Aboutseven
or eight years ago, Whiteville
was composed of some half
dozen stores, frame buildings
and very dilapidated. A spirit
of enterprise suddenly sprung
up among her people. They
determined to move the To-
cation OF the town to the rail
road, several hundred yards
distant. The first building
erected in the "new town +"
was the Duncan Hotel. Short
ly afterwards, Messrs. Wynne,
McClaran e Fack-er, Need
ham and others built store
houses. The new town oe-
gan to grow from the very
first. New citizens arrived,
and new buildings, both for
business and residence pur-
poses, continued to go up.
To-day, Whiteville is one
of the fairest- and most pros
porous little cities in this Sec
ton. Her citizenship is, and
has long been noted for intel
ligencc, refinement and hos
pitality. The country sur
rounding is rich and product
i've. There is a bright future
in store for Whiteville.

has not been covered with
roses. Far from it. He has

members of his own political

shame, have abused and SLAM
dered him. Through it all, he

eminent, and has discharged

manner. Grover Cleveland
was the man for the times.
Future historians will give
him credit for his worth.

AS nothing was said in last weeks
issue pertaining to the death of E.
@. Stewart, of 18th district, will
try to give brief outline of his life.
When Z G. Stewart departed from
this world, he was in his 59th year,
having lived greater part of his
life as a member of the Methodist
church south. He was a man of gen.
tie spirit, with firm conviction and
loyal to his family, and highly be-
loved by his neighbors, always
ready to lend a helping hand to the
afflicted. He will be greatly missed
by his neighbors and friends. He
was member of the Middleton
Tigers in the Confederate army.
When enlisted, was made sergeant.
Many of his old comrades visited him
and on his dying bed he babe them
good by, saying, "my time is soon at
hand and hope to meet you all in
heaven" To his widow and loved
ones we tender our deepest sympa-
thies, and commend them to the care
of Him who knows our every sorrow
and feels our every woe.
