GENERAL APATHY STILL IN COMMAND. what the people of NOormatter of the rest of the country, Tennessee, may liink about tho Nineteenth amendment to the Coo- atilution. conferring the suffrage upon women in the United 8tale. there can be but one opinion as to the childish behavior of those Tennessee legislators who, bing opposed to the amendment, have absented themselves from the stale in order to block the further transaction of business by leaving the legislature wilhout a quorum. They are deliberately and defiantly derelict in their duty, and on the face of things they would appear to he violating tbeir oaths and guilty of malfeasance In office. They Insolently set themselves up to disregard the lawful call by which they were summoned into special session, and impudently appeal to the people lo(sustain them In their petty end revolutionary course.

These safeguards are as abundant as efficacioua In Tennessee aa anywhere else and goodness knows they have been invoked there almost to the point of exaspera lion. Tba courts at last have been appealed to, and as interpreters of the constitution and the laws they may he expected to see that no irregularity is committed or permitted. Under such circumstances the tclion of the runaway, renegade legislators is peculiarly inexcusable and insulting. It is a pitiful exhibition of littleness, cowardice and muiisbness.
