The Republicans of Tennessee
seem to be as far from harmony as
ever the Democrats were at the
bitterest stage Of dissension. Gov
Hooper is out in a card denouncine
Jesse Littleton, Congressman Sam
Sells and Dick Austin ct al and
Sells comes back at Hooper with q
vieor which shows him to be q
fighter, Under present conditions
the Republicans have not ghost Of
a chance to elect a Senator, but In
the event Of a Republican split and
two Republicans candidates for
Governor, a candidate of the Jesse
Littleton stripe who would carry the
whiskey votes, both Democratic and
Republican, would be dangerous, II
looks just now that Hooper and San
ders will be turned down in the Re-
publican State convention and we
believe that the prohibition element
Of Republicans would bolt the state
convention before they would fol-
low Jess Littleton and that Demo-
cratic-whisky Sheet, the .Chattanoo-
Ga Times.

Against Dancing.

Nashville, Tenn, Feb. u.s. The
accuracy Of a press dispatch relat-
ing to the conference Of the Union
Of American Methodism held at
Evanston, I'LL, under the auspices Of
the John R Lindgren foundation for
the promotion Of international peace
and church unity, is denied by Dr..
Fitzgerald S. Parker Of Nashville.
DR. Parker was quoted as advocat-
ing dancing and other amusements
usually condemned by the church.
In his address DR.. Parker held it to
be more in harmony with the his
toric position Of Methodism and
principles Of the New Testament
church discipline to rest authority
for dealing with the amusement
question upon the general rule that
forbids the taking ofsuch diversions
as cannot be used in the name Of
the Lord Jesus, rather than specific
legislation against dancing, card
playing and theatregoing. He said
that the disastrous effect Of medic.
val casuistry should be a warning
against making catalogues of sin
with specific penalties attached, but
said nothing in favor of receding
from the position Of the Methodist
Church in regard to these practices.
The reference to John Wesley's see-
ing play in London and dancing
with his sisters in Epworth Rectory
was to Wesley, the Oxford student,
he declares, in contrast, with the
mature Wesley, who unsparinely
denounced the theatre, the dance
and card playing of his day.

Judge S. F. Wilson, presiding
judge Of the Court Of Appeals has
rendered an opinion in response to
the petition for a rehearing on the
application for a writ superceding
Chancellor Allison's injunction
against the city, which seems to us
about the strongest talk from the
bench we have noticed. Here it is:
Speaking for myself, while do
not assume to advise them, | have
no hesitation in saying that if were
a commissioner of Nashville, rather
than submit to this injunction and
its requirement, that | turn over to
the chancery court in this suit, in
other words, abdicate the public
trust confded in part to me, | would
resign, or ignore the injunction, 90
ahead in the legal and regular per-
Torrance Of my public duties, sub
init to attachment for contempt Of
court, be fined and sent to Jail, and
then try to avail myself Of the rem
edy afforded by a writ Of habeas
corpus. the appellate court, if the
view Of Judge Moore is correct, hav-
ing decided that it cannot pass on
the validity Of the Injunction until
the case is finally endeded and is
brought before us by appeal or writ
of error"

Tennsssean & American Moves.

The Nashville Tennessean and
American issued its first paper
Monday morning last from its new
and handsome home, at No. 422
Fourth Ave-, North. The fact that
a substantial building Of four or
five floors, which was long used as
a saloon and gambling house, has
become the home Of a great news
paper which has helped Danish the
saloon from Tennessee, is a crafty
ing sign Of the drift Of the times to-
ward that much-to-be desired con-
summation, a saloonless nation.
May the Tennessean and American
live long and wax rich in its COM
Portable and convenient home.

In the last German Zeppelin raid
over in England, which happened
on the last day Of January, CT per-
sons were killed and III injured.
OF tho7e killed twenty-five were wo-
men and fifteen children. The Yep
pelin like the submarine, is the
thief, assassin and cut-throat Of
modern warfare. Every one Of
either caught ought to be dynamit-
ed and those operating them treat
ed as spies. Any government
which will authorize such actions
as those Zeppelin raids for the
butchery Of helpless women and
children, deserves to be accused at
present and in all future history.
