F WHAT IT MEANS I * ftoiN'i Defeat lay Give Teaaetaee | te the RcpaMkaa* I IN THE NEXT ELECTION flat the Democrats, Though Willing to Adopt Desperate Measures to i Oet Rid of Patterson and Mis I Methods, Do Not Contemplate Ultimate Surrender of the State. There are a great many people who do not understand the political cHu&tion in Tennessee, which Zach CcGhee makes perfectly plaLn In a letter to The State. He says the triumph of the independent judicial -*?tl-'? "" loot Thiirs ticket In trie eitn;nuu ? tP>y means the beginning of the end what has come to be known as '' " fittersonism*' in Tennessee. The bartizans of Gov. Patterson have teen calling their organization the Democratic i?arty and hence trying to create the impression that the election of the Patterson judges, as well as the election of Patterson himself tn Novembei. was necessary to the eatvntion cf the Democratic party. The independents or anti-Patterson Democrats, on Uie contrary, have - ? -- 1 wn t>eeu declaring taut cue omy ??,??.* tion of tlio Democratic party and more especially of Democratic prinCtplas Id government was the defeat of Patterson and the complete destruction of the Patterson machine. To get rid of Patterson these Democrats have got to the point where they are desperate and have employ-1 ed desperate means. In talking one | 4ay to one of the Independent Demo- j \ <ratic leade-s and campaigners in j oast Tennessee, I rather vaguely sug^e^tod that rumors were afloat to the effect that the Republicans were being encouraged to vote with the antiPatterson men by the hope of electing a Republican governor. I did ?aot want to come right out with It, fearing that such a thing as a k <Ieai with Republicans was of too delecate a nature for a campaign manager to admit, or even to diseuas. "Oh, we make no bones of it," * -1 1 ? ,,,.,1 rt it ri ,i on 11/ na hp Qflw how WJ.f umimcu, .i-.iuu&u>,i, ..v, delicately I was trying to broach the Subject. "We have told the Republicans that If they will help us defeat Patterson's judges and not put up aoy Repuolicans for judges we would .*iot nominate an independent Democrat for governor." If that agreement is adhered to Ur the Independent Democrats, there will beyond all question be a Republican governor of Tennessee ie*t time. 11 is not at all certain, fctowever, that there will be no Independent Democrat nominated for governor. Those men in east Tennessee are willing to carry out their Agreement to the letter, but there is ? strong disposition in middle and -west Tennessee to nominate a Democrat against Patterson, not indeed ' wjth any idea of electing him, for they, too, are willing for the Republican to be elected, but because they know full well that there are a largo uumber of Democrats who wih | not under any circumstances vote for a Republican. The fear is that unless there is enother Democrat running Patterson will be able to get these votes by his i?owerful appeal to partisanship. The (Strictly partizau Democrats, who are Democrats on prejudice rather than on principle, but whose prejudices mr& strong also against Patterson, will have another Democrat to vote #or. Th ?y will be "assistant Repub-1 ficans," though, if voting for a Re-1 publican for governor against Patterson eons' itutes being a Republican. It ?? a subterfuge, and these men who propose doing it admit that it ie, but, as f have said, they are taking desperate means to get rid of Patterson. The anti-Patterson men had entire Charge of 1 he election machinery in this election. Heretofore Patterson fcas had all the machinery in his own hands The anti-PalterFon men fiave always declared that Patterson ?ever fair'y defeated Carraack two years ago, l?ut that he was counted in. Whether this be true or not, there was o majority of anM-PatterDemocrats in the legislature, " which majority was extended by a Coalition with Republicans into enough to r.ase the new electloa lawover the go amors veto. By this new .aw *he legifnam e selected tbo i,Rf.'irr? commissioners, end anti !*?> tterson men were appointed. The Patterson people anticipated v'?cn vhieat and got rez?dy to cry fraud hefora the electio \ when they made a Toiiiia' request fci representati-* on the ?reciuct e vlion fcoards. Tins request was refused, ' nod since vhere were no Patterson ' adherents ? o J be e'ertion boarus, li ?s not specially remarkable that the Cry of fr*. id should be set ? p by those who we c defeated.

Editor of The State: Is it not passing strange, that an ivaue which is paramount to all other economic issues should be obscured and kept in the background as the tariff has been? How man/ men of even average intelligence know what a tariff is, what a revenue tariff is, what a protective tariff is, and what is the difference between a protective, and a revenue tariff? Should we not be ashamed to admit that we do not know what taxes we pay, or understand our national fiscal system? How many men know that every time they purchase goods they pay taxes? Hut this is an indirect tax. and is not recognized or realized But it is a tax nevertheless, and a very heavy one at that, and to which State, county and municipal taxes are a mere drop in a bucket in comparison. Will the people ever throw off this ! incubus? No! Never, until they are educated as to what it means. Aside from Christianity, what concerns man most in this sublunary world? Ways and means of improving our conditions, making a good comfortable living, and the education i of our children. The shortest, quickest and most direct cut to this goal | is what every natural man is seeking to find out and striving for every day. This is not only his natural right and privilege, but is his bounden duty. Whatever unjustly interferes with this right, whatever detracts from or impairs the means to this end, it is ** 1 man's privilege, rig*it, auu uuij ?.v remove, if possible. An unnecessary fax is an unnecessary burden, and unjust interference with man's Godgiven right to improve his condition, his efforts to make a living, to educate his children, his comforts, civilization, in fact everything which makes life worth living. The so-called protective tariff contributes more to the high cost of living, rt does more to retard the improvement and material growth of uur country than any other factor, and perhaps more than all other agencies combined Beyond a revenue tariff, all tariffs are robbery, robbery of the many for the few, making colossal wealth for some by taking away from others. If a dozen men have a million of bricks between them, taking any number from what each possesses, and giving them to some of the others, it does not make the aggregate number of bricks any greater, but does reduce the aggregate number of those from whom they were taken. 'Mr. Lever may plaster his vote on lumber as much as he pleases, but that does not change the effect which the duty will have on the price of lumber. He says the duty which he voted for wbl not affect the price of lumber in the South. If putting a duty on lumber does not increase the price down here. Goes not Mr. I^ever know that the consumers will turn away from Canadian lumber and purchase in the South? In that event there would be no use of the duty. Yet he insistently says the duty will put three millions of dollars in the treasury. To do this the consumers must purchase enough from Canada to make the revenue from importation three millions, which they would not do if they could get it cheaper in the South. It Is estimated that to raise three millions of revenue, the consumers must pay one hundred millions more for their product than they otherwise would have to pay. Would that some abler pen would arouse the people to see the tariff as It is, and cause them to agitate, und educate until it Is reduced to a revenue basis alone Paysan.

M^st of those injured were riding in the smoking .car. They were residents of Petaluma, Santa Rosa and other oearby towns. Several it is reported were delegates to the state convention of Red Men, which meets at Santa Rosa. The wreck occurred at a sharp curve. The passenger train was traveling forty miles an hour and the locomotive and caboose were al-i so going at good speed. At the office of the train dispatcher it was said that one of the conductors had made a mistake in his jrders and failed to take a siding. Just before the collision the passengers were jerked forward by the setting ol the brakes. Then there came a terrific impact and the sound of escaping steam. The two engines cashed into each other. The baggage car and the smoking car were telescoped. "When the dazed passengers made their way out of the rear coaches unharmed, they heard the shrieks and groans of the injured. The 3 0 passengers in the smoking car were caught among broken seats and splintered timbers, and those who were not killed were unable to help themselves. A few men made their way to the forward end of the smoking car where the greatest damage had been done. Efforts to opeD windows or remove broken timbers were fruitless. Work on the rear half of the smoker was easier. Some of the rescuers scattered to nearby houses to telephone for help, while others scught to get the injured out of the wreck. A headless corpse was found lying by the side of the track. Another body was found in a sitting josition in a window of the smoker. The engines met with such force that the engine of the work train, which consisted of a caboose and two light flat cars, shunted the passenger engine to one side and plowed part of the way through the baggage car. causing the baggage car and smoker to telescope. Relief trains were rushed frorr both ends of the line to the scene of the wreck. Some of the dead were brought to San Rafael and some to Santa Rosa. The injured were taken in various directions, making the list of names difficult to obtain. At midnight there were bodies still in the w recka&e. TOO MANY FOIt HIM. ? Driven Kroai His Ship by fiords of Mosquitoes. Driven from his ship by the attacks of mosquito hordes at a lumber camp in the Everglades Monday, Capt. Graham Lowe, of the schooner Emerald, made a 46 hour journey to Key West, Fla., without food or water and eighteen hours were spent in desperately clinging to the bottom of a IRtle "dinkey," in which the eventful trip was made. The "dinkev" was overturned by a sudden squall and on several occasions Capt. Lowe was hurled from the vessel by the waves. He managed to reach shallow water, however, righted the Utile vessel, and completed the sixty-mile trip late vv euucauuy. An expedition will be sent after the crew of the vessel, six negroes who refused to leave the swamp when the mosquitoes drove the captain away. WAI>K TO THtilll DNATH.
