W. G. T. o.

We are more than pleased Il
make note of an article from Thu
Union Signal in Fort Worth
| Texas, Oct. g, entitled, "The
Situation in Texas.
The following is small portion
of the hearty, sympathetic, ane
candid resolutions adopted by ths
Cumberland Presbyterian church
at their Synod, which met last
week in Weatherford The
present increasing movement II
our state to destroy by local option
as much of the power of the saloon
as possible, is step in the right
direction.
Since the campaign OF 1887 the
movement has been gaining
ground. The W. c. t. U. effort to
educate the people; the work OF the
schools to show the physical effects
of alcohol, and the efforts of the
press to show the traffic to be an
evil, have brought about the pres
ent state in Texas, i'll which 181
out of 240 counties have. wholly or
in part abolished the saloon. There
fore we recommend, First, that
these efforts be continued and that
cooperation be given to every
effort of whatsoever kind or name
against the saloon.
Second, we recommend that you
urge that our ministers, elders and
and people not only strive to secure
wholesome laws against the traffic,
but to use all legitimate means to
enforce the same, and to sustain
all officers in the faithful discharge
of duty.
Third, recognizing the evil
effects of tobacco, we recommend
that it's use by our probationers for
the ministry be discouraged i'll
every way.
Previous to this meeting, Mrs.
Stoddard, State President for W.
c. t. U. in Texas, sent these reso-
lutions with request that they be
adopted.
Resolved, First, that we believe
the unfermented juice OF the grape
is the only proper wine with which
to celebrate the holy communion.
Resolved, Second, that we re-
commend to our people most
heartily the work of the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union.
AS our city is so soon to enter
tain our beloved Tennessee Synod,
we hope the commendable action OF
the Synod of Texas mentioned in
the foregoing article may meet with
the approval of this august body,
and similar steps be taken to aid
the temperance cause in it's various
lines or phase OF work in our own
Tennessee.

any party when its policy ran contrary
to his personal opinions. He was q
man of moral courage, as he showed
on various occasions. His canvass OF
Tennessee, especially east Tennessee
when the mad passions of war were
still afiame and when he had to face
angry and armed and threatning mobs
was proof of his courage.

Emerson Etheridge.

A notable life has closed IN the death
of Emerson Etheridge. He was tow
eripg figure in the strenuous days OF
Tennessee politics. A comprehensive
sketch of his life and career appears
elsewhere in this issue of the Ameri
can. He completed his eighty-third
year a few weeks ago. He served three
terms in Congress, and was clerk OF
the house in the thirty-seventh Con
gress. He was the last Wing to serve
in the national house. He was de-
feated for governor by VIM. G. Brown,
low in 1867, served in the state senate
in 1869, and was defeated for United
States senator in that year. His last
service as a public officer was as col
hector of customs at Memphis in the
early nineties. He was the last of the
Tennesseans who served in the thirty
third Congress. Only two are left
who served in the thirty-fourth Con-
gress, John V. Wright and John H.
Savage. In the thirty-sixth Congress
he served with Robert Hatton, Horace
Maynard, William T. Avery, Reese B
Brabson, Thomas A. r. Nelson, Jas,
III. Thomas, James M. Quarles and w.
B. Stokes. Mr.. Etheridge is the last
Of these to pass away.
Emerson Etheridge was stormy
petrol of the political ocean He had
been Wing, then a Democrat. and
later Republican, and for a time was
strong Prohibitionist, though never
an avowed member of the party. His
contests for Congress with Hon. j. D.
G. Atkins are still the talk of the old
men in Henry, Weakley and other
counties of what was then the ninth
district. There were brilliant debates
between the political leaders fifty
years ago. Etheridge was pitted
against the best.of them. and always
held his own. He was a speaker of re-
markable force and power, having a
wonderful command of language, an
attractive voice, and many of the
graces and arts of the orator.
He had a remarkable memory. He
attended school only nine days in his
life, as he rather proudly informed
the writer of these lines, but he had
store of knowledge, a fund of informa-
tion such as few men possess. His
library was not large, but it contain
ed number of rare valuable works,
and Etheridge was familiar with
them all. There are those who re-
garded him as an infidel because of
his severe and often coarse criticism
of creeds and religious beliefs held
dear hy him. He was something of a
pantheist, holding that nature was
God. He was dogmatic in assertion
and a formidable antagonist in
rough-and-ready controversial com
bat. No man could be more graceful
or courtly or charming in manner and
language than he when he sought to
make himself so. He scorned consis-
tency, and was too Independent in
mind to be a submissive follower of
