DISTRESSING Accident.
[Decatur Novel;

Decatur News.
On last Monday evening, little
Laura A, infant daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. p. j. Edwards, came to
her death by an accident painful in
the extreme The child was about
eighteen months of age and was
carried by the nurse, a col6red !girl
of twelve years, to the water closet
in the rear of the garden. Under
meath the closet was a pit in the
ground some five feet deep into
which the child was precipitated,
perhaps by being set on the stool
and falling through the aperture of
the same. The nurse, IN her fright
and effort to rescue the little treas
ure, jumped in after it and was her
self immersed in the debris to her
arm-pits. In this condition, appar-
emily, she forgot to raise the child,
but gave the alarm, which attracted
the attention of Messrs. j. L.
Krone and T. F. Turley, who i'm
ran to the spot, turned
the closet over and recovered the
lifeless body of little Laura. Drs.
Cross and Young were SUMMONED
and used all the known means to
restore vitality, but with no avail.
The fall and suffocation under the
accumulation in the pit, together
with the inhalation of the poisonous
gasses, had put the little innocent
one beyond the reach of human skill.

The boilers made a hit, as they
thought, and attempted to rope in
temperance people and ehurch-folk by
declaring themselves unalterably OPP
posed to the repeal of the fourstnile law.
or course they are opposed to it, and so
are all the balance of as, and no one
wants to repeal it or has threatened to
repeal it. As well say they were OPP
posed to the repeal 81 the golden rule or
the ten commandments. Nobody wants
to repeal it and no one mas limited at
it, and this is pure and simple bun
combe. 1t IS in keeping with another
plank which says they are opposed ''to
all law the tendency OF which is to i'm
pair the obligation OF contracts" Bum
combe again. The constitution at
tended to that little matter before bolt
ing was invented, by expressly pro-
viding that no state should pass any
such law. The platform has some
beautiful catches in it, real silYery
spider-nests to entangle the unwary.
1t is a glittering cOnglomeration of
plausible composites which are in
tangible and do not call for any legisla-
ton or other actiOn-a sort of negative
admission OF ingetOyerables and asser-
ton of unmeGning generalities, requir-
ing nothing TO prove them and calling
for no action. There is but ono actuali-
ty in It, and that is COG now, henceforth
and forever. All the balance are mere
sideboards TO the wagon-useless tc-

Baltimore American Rep.:) Mr.
Robeson's defense of himself actu-
ally amounts to no more than a
complaint that much of the oflicial
corruption of the Grant era has been
uncovered to the public gaze, and
that Mr.. Whitthorne had great
deal to do with the exposure OF navy
department methods of prohigate
expenditure of money without the
production of adequate results
Mr.. Robeson's impeachment of the
personal character of Mr. Whit
thorne is not of the slightest i'm
portance, even if all he alleges is
true. 1t is the ex-secretary, and
not the Tennessee congressman, who
is on trial before the bar of public
opinion.
A Washington correspondent thus
describes two quarreling representa-
tives: "Mr. Robson, pleasantly
called the rotund,' is one of the
heaviest men in the house. His
width of beam is almost as much as
his height. On the other hand, Mr..
Whitthorne is one of the smallest
men in the house. Mr.. Robson 5
voice is ponderous, while that of
Mr.. Whitthorae is small and piping,
though when one listens to him a
while he is easily understood. His
pronunciation is very distinct, while
that of Mr.. Robson is boisterous
and rumbling. The difference in
the size of the two legislators sug-
gested the use of the names of David
and Goliah."

Both democratic platforms declare in
favor of free schools. Now mark the
prediction: Neither will labor to carry
out the free school plank. We have
just about enough school money in
Tennessee to cripple the regular schools
without being of much benefit to tree
education. The same may be said OF
the Understanding snathemas against
railroads and demanding equal taxa
ton everywhere. And the same may
be said OF the temperance plank.
They are all empty and glittering bulb
bles to burst with the election. 1t is
the pure principles OF democratic
government that are in jeopardy
These little side-shows put in to catch
the rabble are made to cover up the real
issues. Let democracy triumph and we
can attend to these side issues. The
people will not be led away from the
old party by empty professions and
glaring promises upon things that will
never be thought of after the election.

YOU'RE ANOTHER.
The Boilers Hoist by Their Own
Petard.
They Do Themselves What They
So Severely Condemn.

The Boilers have raised the hue and
/ cry all oVer>the state sgainst class legis-
iatfon, holding the-democratic platform
up for execrati0n because it proposed
to pay part Of the debt in full and split
the balance. They denOunce it as un-
just discrimination, unwarranted by
law, unfair to creditors, little and mean,
class legislation, and vilest reputation.
And now they have done exactly the
same thing themselves. We have not
seen it exposed anywhere and we are
surprised that this glaring incon-
sistency should have escaped public at
tention. Perhaps the leading Boilers
did not see it themselves, but if they
did, they have doubtless trembliDgly
awaited the expose. Their platform Is
a silvery skimming along over the sur
face, sort of glittering conglomeration
OF uncertain policies, lodging in and
out and afraid to tread too heavily any
where lest it leave track. rs main
feature is the endorsement of the 1913
4-5-6 bill. Now, what is that bill
The very first section is the identical.
CLASS LEGISLATION.
they have so bitterly and persistently
condemned 10 the democratic platform.
1t ercepts from the provisions Of the biz

Tennessee, and held by other educa-
tional and charitable institutions in this
state, evidence of the ownership of

Office on the day of the passage of this
act and all outstanding coupons there
on, etc. J
This was right, and they have said it
was right, and they cannot deny it, but
they forgot that they did it and turn
round and berate and condemn the other
platform for doing this exact thing and
even doing it better and more securely
than they did. ..L 4
Sound it loud over Tennessee and
pick up the long string of abuse that
Boilers have heaped upon the demo-
cratic platform for favorIng class legis-
lation and hurl them back into their
own camp and let the bombs they have
prepared burst in their own ranks.
They have decreed it, let them abide
it. They favor class legislation, but
they stop short in enumerating the
bonds that the whole world knows are
just and owing and they actually re
pudiate 40 per cent. of the capitol and |
Hermitage bonds. If any bonds are to
have the preference, surely these ought
20 be among them, but they repudiat0
part of them.
They cannot escape these facts. Let
,he people all oyer Tennessee know how
nsincere and inconsistent they are and
how up this platform in the very filth
less in which they delighted to encase
the other.

The strength of the Boilers ought not
70 be underestimated for it might lull
us into security. We have thought that
they would take away enough demo-
cratic votes to defeat the regular ticket,
but we begin to doubt it very much.
Their strength is confined almost exclu-
siyely to towns, and few towns cOmpar-
atively at that. We do not accuse them
OF improper motives in boiling, but we
believe they are sincerely honest.
They are certainly mistaken, however,
and no matter how righteous their in
tentions, the effect of their action is
disastrous and damaging. They ought
not to jeopardize their party and there
are many who sympathize and coincide
with their views who will decline
to go with them when they see that it
will only result in republican sue
cess. We very much fear, however,
that some papers and people will abuse
them into obstinacy, and then we are
all beaten sure enough. Democracy
must stand firm and make the fight un-
flinchingly against republican misrule
and corruption, and not stop to swap
words with an erring brother, and then
il defeat comes we all know where to
place the responsibility. II the fight is
made thus, Bate will be elected.
