The comet. (Johnson City, Tenn.) 1884-1916, 1884-05-03

Boss Houk doesn't like Pettibono,
because Pettibone is his superior in
every way except in knowing how to
manipulate conventions and pulling
the wires. Houk owns Brownlow,
though Brownlow is bound to Petit
bone by every instinct of gratitude.
Between these two Pettibone will
probably fail to DO nominated for re-
election, and ALI Taylor, who was
strongly instrumental in 1873 in do
feating Pettibone and electing his
brother Bob, will most likely be sent
to Congress- Chattanooga Times.

When our loyalty TO our party and
our devotion to its principles are
brought into question it is best to let
others answer. We, therefore, refer
the editors Of the Knoxville Daily
Tribune to twelve thousand Democrats
in the First Congressional District OF
Tennessee; we refer them to the Dem
ocrats of the Second Congressional
District of Tennessee, barring q few
who got jealous because we received
six hundred and eighteen votes in the
Democratic Gubernatorial Convention
at Nashville in 1882. We refer then
to our esteemed contemporary the
Jonesboro Journal which speaks thus

we cannot imagine, II the Tribun,
does not know there is no sort OF Goa
lition between Bob and ALI Taylor, i
is inexcusably ignorant. 1t is vel
known that in the last race between
Pettibone and Bob Taylor the inhu
ence Of Alfred was thrown in the scale
against his brother. This opposition
even went 80 far that he cast an opo
ballot against Robert. While it Nigh
DO said with some show OF truthful
ness that Alfred's disaflection in 1877
materially contributed to Pettibone
defeat, it may be urged with cqu'
truth that his influence and activit

sured the defeat Of Bob and the ele'
ton OF Pottibone. These facts do NJ
argue compact between the brothe
and in fact mono exists except in Il
fertile imagination OF the Tribune c.
itor. We know Bob Taylor TO be
Democrat from principle, true and u
sworvidg in his loyalty to his part
and the charge (by inuendo) that
is now collaborating with his broth
with view to his (his brother's) pol
ical prefcrment, is altogether witho
foundation. The Tribune mag knc
something about the politics OF Il

woeful ignorance as to the Republics
slate in the first. The probable res

Children Killers.

The Novoe Vremya warns Russian moth
ers OF a new religious sect which has given
several proofs of its existence. In Rostov,
on the Don. an officer engaged q middle
aged nurse for his three-year-old son. She
was very attentive and seemed fond OF the
child, but after two months she suddenly
left the situation and the town. The child
began to all the very next day, lost its
memory, and suffered from continual
drowsiness. A week later it died without
having been really Ill. The corpse was
placed in the coffin, when a young Jewess
burst into the house, threw herself upon
the dead child. and crying bitterly said:
1.-THE same woman poisoned my child.
She was my nurse before. and now she has
murdered your poor boyl" The woman
spoke the truth. 1t has been found that in
Rostov there is q society Of child murderers,
who poison children by means Of narcotics.
They are i~nstigated to do so by a fanatical
woman. who says: at is every woman's
duty to spare the evils Of life to as many
children as possible, and to make them
share in the bliss OF heaven before earth
has contaminated their souls.

1t Is a matter of principle with the peo-

are safe to venture so much in regard to
matters of a domestic sort) and to observe
q strict non-interference in the affairs of

the rule that we have laid down. In fact,
In questions of international character we,
as q people, are disposed to put up with q
good deal rather than quarrel. We are
perfectly contented to be let alone. Our
nation is great enough to be independent
of all others in the fullest sense of the
word, and we never ask for foreign aid or
sympathy. This cannot be strictly said of
England. The Irish, crushed and humili-
ated by her, have taken to destructive ex-
plosives as a last resort. England, when
it suited, has many q time used the can
non as her first argument. She insists on
ruling the Irish as it pleases her, and q few
determined Irishmen have completely ter
rorized her with the only weapons left
them. She has appealed to the United
States to protect her, and the President
has issued the prayed-for anti-dynamite
proclamation. She comes now, through
the press, and intimates that the people of
the United States are cruel not to become
an ally OF hers against her wi down
trodden subjects. And all this, too, when

the latest indirect appeal OF Great Britain
for foreign aid and sympathy:
LONDON, April 14.-Discussing the re-

London Times says: Expectation is
strong that these arrests will lead to i'm
portant disclosures which will throw light
upon the recent explosion. It is believed
that one or two informers will be produced
who will reveal the headquarters of the
conspiracy, whether in France or in Amer

thorities are on our side, and that the
French police will prevent an outrage.
We have, however, no such assurance from
America. We do not believe that the
American police would connive at sending
Internal machines across the Atlantic, but
an open crusade is preached in America
against England, and funds are collected
therefor, and things which have been
threatened have been done. These facts
are well known to the American police.

less guilty Of the two was tent to the peni-
tertiary for q term Of years and the real
murderer released on straw bail. Such q
~travesty on justice is well calculated to
impel Q people to take the law into their

mitted in our midst, and. unless the peo-
pie strung him up, he would take refuge

been hanged in this State by law, where
no less than q thousand murders have
been committed. A good showing for the
