Should Do Something.

In another column appears an article
with reference to the Tennessee Legis-
lature BY Mr.. John I. Walker, of this
city Mr.. Walker goes right into the
subject without apologies, and begins
to separate the wheat from the tares.
Mr.. Walker thinks there is no excuse
for the legislative absentees, and that
unless the members get together soon
and relieve the situation Tennessee will
soon suffer far more than it would from
the evils resulting from the proposed
election law or the repeal Of the State
wide prohibition law. He points out
the fact that the States credit will suf-
fer and that it will be necessary to
open the prisons and insane asylums
and turn the inmates loose upon the
people at large. Such condition Of
affairs as this is serious, indeed Mr..
Walker is not in sympathy with the So
called regulars, = but he believes it
would better to let them undertake any
sort of political usurpation rather than
to turn the State over to bankruptcy
and a reign OF terror.
Mr.. Walker is personally an intense
Prohibitionist. He is not in sympathy
with the claims made by the so-called
regulars" that they are alone entitled
to the name and organization OF the
Democratic party in Tennessee. We
are perfectly familiar with Mr. Walk
er's convictions upon these matters and
know the truth of the statements he
makes.
Whether or not he has accurately fore
casted the results may be doubted by
some, but one thing is certain, he is in
tenseIy in earnest. More than that he
is known as man Of very broad con-
servatism and mature opinions, espec-
tally in business and political affairs,
and it would be well if more of our
thinking people would study the sub
iect from this point Of view rather than
from the selfish partisan spirit, which
has almost obscured every other motive
in the fight

Tag Day, which was observed gen.
orally throughout our district, in the
interest of the striking Southern Pa
cific employees, met with quite a con.
siderable amount of success, due in a
great measure to the ladies who exer.
cised that part of the work as collec.
tors.
There were, indeed, very few PEG.
pie who did not respond literally, and
it is stated that our district will com
pare favorbaly in the amount raised
with any in the city. The ladies who
were in charge of Tag Day on this
side of the river were out early in the
morning, so as to be on hand in time
to tag those who are also up early
The amount collected seems to be
quite satisfactory to those in charge
of the campaign. The sum of ST.,
S7S.77 was realized and will be de-
voted to the relief Of those now on a
strike and not able to supply the i'm
mediate demands of their families.
