Where Reform is Imperative.

The weekly press of the State is al
most unanimous in its condemnation of
the late Legislature. 1t seems to have
been one of the most unpopular Legis-
latures ever assembled in Tennessee.
Its precipitate election of Senator
aroused resentment among large per
cent. of the voters of the State, who
felt that their wishes were ignored and
treated with contempt. That action
alone made the Legislature unpopular,
as some of the members will doubtless
find to their sorrow. But the general
dissatisfaction has been cumulative. AS
we have said before, the general little
ness of the body, its petty conduct in
many instances, its t.ades and combi
nations, the autocratic methods of self
seeking members, the quarrels, the
cheap declarations and Incorporate
and undignifed and unwarranted pub
lie dununclation by members who
should have shown a better sense O.
dignity and decency, the dishonesty il
in Juggling with bills, the unreliability
of promises-the genera. record an(
conduct of the body marked it as un
worthy of the State or the apprval o
of the people.
The general dissatisfaction, DISCUS
and resentment it aroused may resul
in one thing, however, much neede'
reform in the matter of selecting mem
bers of the Legislature. There is i'm
peratlve need Of it. The State canno
afford to be indifferent in such an i'm
portant matter. Voters should no
lend themselves to the advancement o
any sort of man who offers for the Leg
islature, but should demand the bes
men available. Asa rule men capabl
of making the best Legislators do no

NEW UNION DEPOT
The Southern will Build Mod
ern Station and Double
Yard Capacity,

Since the announcement was first
made several weeks ago in THE COMET
that the Southern would build new
union passenger station in this city
there has never been auy doubt that
it would be built because the people
have been educated to believe what
they read in these columns.
Friday afternoon Division Superin-
tendent Geo. r. Loyal and Assistan t
General Superintendent NJ. NJ. Richey
came to the city in private Car for
the purpose of examining the territory
and locating a site for the new station
Together with Superintendent G. W.
Hardin, of the E. T. & W. N. @. r. r.
and Alderman @. B. Allen they care.
fully examined all the valuable terri.
tory.
THE COMET is able to state upon re-
liacle authority that the station will
be built upon the vacant land between
the present depot and the Dyer build
ing. The land belongs to the E. T.
W. N. G. people but will be leased il
return for the use of the presen
freight depot of the Southern. TIL,
Southern will convert the passenge
end Of the old station into freigh
depot by building an addition on tn,
north front. The work will be unde
way as soon as the plans can be mad
and contracts awarded.

Tomatoes Various1y Cooked.

San francisco, in whose markets
fresh tomatoes may be found eight
months IN the year, is a cosmopolitan
rlty. N which, if you VIII lake a little
trouble as to the locating OF your res
taurant, you may dine in like manner
with any nation under the sun.
To try these queer dinners is a fad
among people who come here from
the East, and in making my rounds
with friends L have at various times
taken notes about the preparation of
odd dishes. our foreign TeStaurateur
is hattered when patron summons
him, praises the cooking and asks for
the recipe. Some of the foreign to-
mato methods are as follows
A La Portuguese-This nation makes
whole meal of its stewed tomatoes.
A quart of ripe tomatoes are peeled
and sliced in a stewpan, over which
two Bermuda, or one Spanish onion,
is also thinly sliced. Cover and cook
gently in the liquor, which the toma-
toes form, for twenty minutes, Shak-
ing the pan from time to time to pre-
vent burning; now season with salt
and pepper and pour in pint of good
gravy, cook twenty minutes longer and
add pint of steamed rice. When the
latter is thoroughly hot, dish all to-
gether and, if too dry, send to table
with bowl of thickened brown gravy.
From this l conceived the idea of
cooking whole tomatoes in brown
gravy until tender enough to lift with
out breaking Lay them on squares
of toast, and pour the gravy around
after slightly thickening.
Baked, Mexican Style.-Choose
large, firm and not overripe tomatoes.
Cut a slice off the top; remove the
pulp and mix with equal quantities
of cold roast veal and boiled ham
minced fine and well-browned bread
crumbs, season with red pepper, mine
