To introduce bin for the incorpora-

II is probable that the duration of
the present session Of the legislature
will not exceed six weeks, and that
towards the close of the session
there will be the usual press
of business, which will inevitably
lead to the shelving of any measures
that may be introduced too late to
admit of full consideration 1t is es-
sential therefore that immediate ac-
ton be taken, for if this opportunity
be permitted to pass we shall have
to wait for two years before any
thing can be done.
You are doing great public SER
vice in showing up the filthy condi

support of all citizens who have the
welfare of Tonopah at heart. | hope
that you will continue your efforts in
the direction of progress until you
have forced the issue.

A Response.

In answer to Jim Russ, who
fears we will become so sweet
somebody will lick US up:
Why do you wait till ears are deaf
Before you speak your kindly word,
And only utter loving praise,
When not whisper can be heard.
Why do you wait till hands are laid
Close folded. Rudeless, ere we place
Within them, roses sweet and rare:
And lilies in their flawless grace.
Why do you wait till eyes are sealed
To light and love in Deaths deer
trance,
Dear wistful eyes, we bend
Above them with impatient glance.
Why do we wait till hearts are still,
To tell them all the love in ours,
And give them such late need of praise,
And lay above them fragrant flowers.
How oft we careless wait, till life's
Sweet opportunities have past,
And break our 6llibaSter box
OF ointment at the very last
Oh! let us heed the living friend.
Who walks with us in life'S common
ways;
Watching our eyes with looks of love,
And hungering for a word of praise.
Now Jimmie Russ, when you come
down
To lick us you must bring stick,
For you will find US very sweet,
And also very hard to lick.

LANDRITH.

The Rev. Ira Landrith is editor
Of the Cumberland Presbyterian,
and a man who, standing at the
head OF the denominational paper,
exerts probably the widest infu-
ence in that church. Mr.. Landrith
is interested in church affairs. He
is a writer Of things worth reading.
He is a lecturer on many subjects.
He is a preacher of much ability,
but has not limited himself to the
religious side of life. He is man
who takes the greatest interest in
municipal affairs.
Mr.. Landrith was one of the
originators of the Committee OF
One Hundred plan. He has had
more to do with the successful op-
Grafton of that plan than any other
Individual. Much of the brunt of
attack he has borne, and likewise
his share In the honorS OF puOIlC
opinion is commensurate.
a few years ago Mr. Landrith
was offered the chancellorship of
Cumberland University at Lebanon.
The honor was two.told. He was
succeeding DR.. Nathan Green and
lie was taking charge of the chief
denominationalschool. He declined.
His work lay elsewhere.

DMINENT TENNESSEE MEN
MORTON.

# Dme men are born fighters, some
|f naturally imbued with the
)rit of craftsmanship and the
Ssility to keep firm hold on pub
s@1c affairs. Others are best suited
/ to the less strenuous walks in life
and make a success in the CONNER
cial world or standing elbow to ell
bow with their neighbors in the
courts of nature.
A man is accounted success who
belongs to any one of these classes,
and few are found whose capacity
is not fully tested by one calling.
But sometimes comes one who COM
bines the ability of several and
takes his place in any field with the
composure and easy self-possession
of leader. Such man is Capt.
Iohn w. Morton, Secretary of State
for Tennessee.
For years Capt. Morton has been
prominent in the State he has
served so well. He gained his mill
tary title when mere lad. Every
one familiar with the history of the
Lost Cause knows of Forests
young artillery officer, whose dash
. ing courage and sublime indiffer-
ence to danger made him such
strength to the stern Tennessee
leader. Capt. Morton fought his
guns all through the civil war, and
won for himself fame that will be
handed down to the generations
yet to come.
But his success as fighter only
introduced him to the world whose
respect he has since compelled in
other ways. AS farmer he ranks
among the best informed and most
influential Of Davidson county. AS
a citizen he serves as an example,
AS public official he shows that
can serve his State in time of
peace with the same profit to her
commonwealth that marked his eff
forts with the sword.
He is serving his first term as
Secretary of State. He has sur
rounded himself with a corps of eff
6cient helpers, and, directing their
efforts, has simpli6ed and system
lied the methods of his office until
the State is saved considerable eX-
penditure of time and money in it's
conduct.

Maryland Democrats.

The Maryland State Democratic
Convention was held on the 10Th
ult., at Baltimore, and nominated
candidates for State Offices.
A most notable plank in the
platform, set forth the following:
eve believe that the political des
tinies of Maryland should be
shaped and controlled by the white
people of the State, and while we
disclaim any purpose to do any
injustice whatever to our colored
population, we declare without
reserve our resolute purpose to
preserve in every conservative
and constitutional way the politi-
cal ascendency of our race. =
This is the first time that a great
party. since the Civil War, has
formally declared for white su-
premacy.
The Democrats of Maryland
have started the debate. Now
what move will the Republican
side make9 The example Of the
Marylanders will doubtless be
followed by other Southern States;
and if the Republican party shall
persist in making an issue by
taking measures to reduce the
Congressional representation Of
It b e Southern States, m o r {
"planksn will have to be added to
| the platform.
