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.

AWAKENING NEEDED
PAYSAN WRITES INTERESTING*
LY ABOUT TAXES.
| Hmyn There Are Many People Who
Know Nothing of Whet They Pay
in Tariff*.
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.

FATAL WRECK
o '
Ptsscager Trail ia Caluoraia Stred by
a Special Eagiae
THIRTEEN ARE KILLED
And Thirteen Are Wounded.?A Del*
egation of Red Men Wm on the
Train.?The Disaster Occurred on
a Hliarp Curved?The Smoking Car
Suffered Most,
Thirteen passengers were killed
and at least twelve were injured on
Monday night when a passenger
train bound from San Francisco to
Santa Kosa on tne Nortnewestern tracific
railway was struck hy a special
locomotive and caboose south of Ign<acio,
Calitornia.
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.
