The Leadership.

Inc Le3QeTS0lp.
The Blackfoot News thinks the
legislature would have made 4
better record if 1t had had leader
ship. It 6nds many bad bills were
passed and that 1t was necessary
for the governor to make record
breaking use of the veto. The
News expresses all this in its very
polite manner. Its suggestion tha;
there was lack Of leadership is very
interesting. Of course, the News
means there was q lack Of good
leadership. for there was enough
and to spare Of leadership Of : bad
kind. IF anyone thinks the ses-
sion made such dreadful mess of
everything and outraged decency
In such shocking manner because
II had no leadership in its evil
course, he 10 sadly mistaken.
The leadership manifested itself
II the Organization. Before the,
election the foundation Of the scam
dals Of the election were laid, and
the record made was 1 natural
sequence. The fusion campaign
was planned and carried ont with
one leading purpose the election
Of Mr.. Dubois to the senate. It
was necessary to trample on the
best element Of the democratic
party Ia the state convention Ia
order to bring that about. Then
II was essential TO have 4 fusion
with the populists It any cost, and
4 was arranged. When the legis-
lature met, the election Of Mr.. Du.
bois Was still the paramount issue
and this gave an opportunity to
the worst element Of the wing
q the democracy that triumphed
over decency Ia the state conven-
ton. II stepped forward and laid
the knife across the throat Of the
house. Il had to have cert0n
things Or Mr.. Dubois might not be
elected. What it demanded it was
given. The house was organized
with McKinlay % speaker It the
dictation Of this element, and he
appointed Heney chairman Of the
appropriation committee.
From that hour the house was
nnder the most infamous LEADER
ship ever known ID ! legislature.
All there was Of decency among
the fusionists yielded 70 II most Of
the time, and al the time there
was strength enough in the house
70 support that leadership In any
thing it undertook. No matter
what that that speaker did. he was
supported. On one or two occa-
sions he was reversed, but, though
he committed outrage after outrage
% the house, the majority did not
have the courage to depose him
and save its reputation.
Throughout the majority was
subaervient, excepting that at the
close il did not defeat some Of the
designs Of the Occur d'Alene ele-
ment. Under the goad Of public
opinion. and with the help Of the
republicans. number of members
Of the majority did finally, and
after season Of deadlock. defeat
some Of the pet projects Of the
worst element, but prior to that all
the vicious enactments Of the SEES
sion had been made. The same
spirit that ruled the Pocatello con-
vention ruled the legislative ma.
jority, and it was directed by per.

The premature graduation of seventy
five first-class cadets at West Point Mil
hary Academy on Feb. Is, instead Of
June, was not an unusual proceeding in
view of the large increase in the regular
army now being made. In the spring of
1861, 1t will be remembered, similar pre-
mature gradual on of forty-five cadets
was made on May 6. VIII lie another batch
of thirty-four cadets was turned out on
June "A. The cadets of that year, how
ever, had five years course and were
remarkably well fitted for immediate SER
vice and most CT them won high rank in
the Civil War. 1 note that the diplomas
of the gradutes this year, in the alb
sence of Secretary of War Root, were
delivered by Maj Gen. John r. Brooke,
U. S. A, who is not West Pointer, but
came into the regular army as lieu enant
colonel in 1866. He entered the Union
army in 1861 as captain in Pennsylvania
regiment and rose to the brevet rank of
major general of volunteers.

ALEX N. MOORE.

We have the pleasure to an
nounce this week us u candidate
for County Judge of Obion Coun-
ty Alex N. Moore, subject to the
will Of the Democratic party. Mr..
Moore's merits are well known to
the people of the county. His
candidacy has already been spoken
of in this paper, but we take the
liberty to append brief sketch;
Reared in Maury County, he
entered the Confederate Army at
Columbia, Tenn, in 1854 at the
age of Is years. He was in Capt.
j. II. FusselPs Company of the
Fourteenth Tennessee Regiment,
under General Wheeler, and made
record for gallant service. In
1871 he came to Obion County and
settled in the Fourteenth Civil
District. Several years were
spent on the farm and in charge of
school, the spare time given to
the reading of law, and in 1881
was licensed to practice by Judge
Somers, and located in Union
City in 1882. Since that time he
has enjoyed fair practice and a
reputation as an advocate of force
and ability. Mr.. Moore has al
ways been an uncompromising
Democrat and a tireless worker
for the success of the party can
didates. He was nominated for
County Judge seven years ago,
and as Democrat went down
fighting for the whole ticket,
which suffered defeat with the
single exception of the late John
Bell. Mr.. Moore is at present
associated with Col. w. 2. Cald-
well in the practice of law. In
presenting his name for the con
sideration of the voters we feel
that we can say he would make an
acceptable officer and an excellent
County JUDGE.

We clip from the Bowling Green
Times-Journal an account of the
wedding of Miss Connie Everett,
who is we'll known in this city as a
visitor, having spent several pleas
ant occasions at the home of her
cousin, Miss May Crockett.
Wednesday morning, at the home
of the brides parents on College
avenue, Miss Connie Olga Everett
was united in marriage to Mr.. John
Melchior Kirk, of Gunnison. Miss,

Miss Everett is the daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs Nebraska Everett,
coming of Tennessee's most prom
inent families. The bride is one
of Bowling GreeR's beautiful and
talented young ladies. She grad
uated at Potter College in 1897, and
a year later at the Bowling Green
Business College. Few girls have
inspired more friends than Miss
Everett, who is as gentle and gra-
cious as she is lovable and attrac-
tive.
The groom is a wealthy cotton
planter OF Mississippi aristocracy.

of the South. Sewanee. Tenn, and
also at Eastman College, Pough-

her hand fall to her side still hold

On FIRE. He sprang excitedly and
tore the clothing off, and was just
in time to prevent very serious in
iuries. Mrs. Sutherland's side,
however, was slightly burned,
