The absorbing question with the
Tennessee Legislature now is,
Shall the Independents be admitted
to the Democratic caucus. Well,
the first thing is to find out wheth-
or or not they want to be admitted.
After that question is settled, the
caucus has complete jurisdiction
over the matter. 1t might be that
they would prefer the Republican
caucus. Who knowsg OF course
it was Republican votes which
materially assisted them in the
election. Would they want to

Struck by Lightning.

VIM. Stoughton, inventor of the
stone dressing machine, and former
resident of this place, was struck by
lightning at the Grocella quarry, at
Falls Greek, on May 25th. During the
storm Mr.. Stoughton sought shelter in
the engine room. The flash which
reached him came down pipe at his
back, throwing him off the bench. He
was unconscious for only few minu
tes. He says there seemed to be a
series of explosions, similar to the
firing of a gun. At each crash the
burning sensation, beginning at his
feet, advanced to his body. Each
crash also, he imagined, to be a blow
from a sledge hammer. He suffered
this illusion only short time, in re-
ality only one flash reached him.
After regaining consciousness he
was paralyzed from his waist down for
nearly an hour, and was taken to his
home in Dubois. He is now back at
work. The lightning left red stripe,
ten inches long on his back, his left
foot was blistered and the right one
puffed as though he were a rheumatic
sufferer

The Divorce Crusade.

The daily press and the religious
weeklies, together with the monthly
magazines which give attention to So
cial interest, are paying considerable
attention to the concerted movement
Of the churches looking toward an
abatement of the evils ofeasy divorce
'The Press" was the first daily paper
to make full announcement of this pro-
iect, and it has kept its readers inform
ed up to date, since it considers the
subject one Of grave importance to all
classes of readers.
The test of the feasibility of this unit
ed crusade came at the denominations
al meetings last month. Would the
great denominations unequivocally in
dorse the action of their representa-.
tives in the Interchurch Conference on
Marriage and Divorce? Now that re-
ports are all in it is seen that, in vary
ing phrases but in the same spirit, they
have done 80. Presbyterians, North
and South, Cumberland Presbyterians,
Baptists, Methodists, Methodist Prot.
estants and Reformed Churches have
put themselves on record as decrying
the present lax attitude toward the
sewerage Of the marriage relation and
have favored every movement toward
a reform in this direction.
The Presbyterians baked at the
phrasing of the resolutions prerented
to them simply on doctrinal grounds,
but with unanimity and heartiness
they gave their approval to the Inter-
church Conference and advised their
clergymen to heed its recommend
ations.
The fight against the divorce evil is
on. Its most important phase at pres
ent is educational. People are talking
about it in private conversation.
Public meetings are considering it.
Ministers are considering afresh their
relation to it. Thus the way is being
prepared for the inevitable legislation
which will make impossible such
scandalous proceedings as have re

A Presidential Year.

1t has long been the custom to hold
"a presidential year" accountable for
certain depressions, in the stock
market, in railway business and in
amusement enterprises. When the
time approaches for presidential
election various little economies are
practiced both in business and in home.
IF the Office force is a trifie large, con-
sidering the revenue, the surplus clerk
is relieved, with the explanation that
after the fall elections there will pro-
badly be an opening again. If the
freight receipts fall off, the railroad
manager calls in his idle cars, reduces
expenses and waits for the first Tues
day after the first Monday in Novem-
ber. And the humble householder,
looking about to relieve the strain,
mows his own lawn and discharges the
cook. These things happen every
presidential year. Wheth er from sup
erstition or fact, the great American
public has come to regard the time pre-
ceeding the election of a president as a
time for hard luck and retrenchment.
Are the hens refusing to lay? 1t is
presidential year. Is the wheat crop
backward? Wait until after Nov
ember. What is the matter with the
backward summer? 1t is waiting for
the early fall.-Chicago Inter Ocean.
