The Machine on Independents.

Tennessee Democrats are not likely
to be misled by the ridiculous and silly
cry of machine politicians about SIN
dependents" The men and newspa-
pers assaulted as "independents" are
the men and papers that have stood
by the party, supported its candidates
and defended its principles and healed
up it's desentions, never for a moment
wavering. .,......
In what and how are they indepen-
dent? Independent in their open and
unwavering support OF the regular
ticket when Wilson, Savage and others
undertook to break up the party. In
dependent in taking steps before the
up this dissension.
Independent in appealing to gen.
tlemen OF the party who set about tai
king the railroads out of the hands OF
the owners, and telling them that the
courts would upset their work.
Independent enough afterward to
submit to the decision of the courts.
independent enough to urge the re-
peal of the law which the machine
had advocated and the courts had de-
clared unconstitutional.
Independent. enough to urge the
legislature not to take the advice OF
the machine and refuse to provide the
means to pay the interest on the COM
promise debt.
Independent enough to succeed on
every single issue made with the ma
chine, and now especially independent
enough not to be driven into the the
heresies of the machine.
Let the country say who has stood
by Democratic principles.

The st. &. q N. r. R.

IL seems that the proposed railroad
from 1t. Louis TO Nashville is the con-
t:nuation OF route certain St Louis
capitalists are already constructing
through Illinois We gather from an
article from the Metropolis. I'LL, Dem
ocrat OF two weeks ago that railroad
is being grided through the county
i'm which Metropolis is situated and
adjoining counties, which is projected
from ST. Louis to Paducah, and that
DR.. Mclean, a well known moneyed
man OF the former city, il at its head.
This article was very likely written
before those we have already copied
from St Louis papers. II is probable
that the new company, proposing a
more extended route, have succeeded
to the rights Of Mclean since the
Democrats article was written. We
win try TO give our readers some
definite information in this regard
next week.

THE recent crisis in England is not
unlike the one which arose in that
country in 1873, but Disreali, who was
then leading the Conservatives, dis
played more shrewdness than the
Marquis of Salisbury has done. The
Gladstone Government was defeated
on the Irish University bill, resigned,
and the Queen called on Disreali. But
he refused to form cabinet because
the Liberals had majority in parIia-
ment and Gladstone was recalled. The
willy Hebrew knew better how to bide
his time than the impetuous Church
i'll and others who are now at the helm
of the Conservative ship.

THAT CAT FISH.

That ia pound fish story republish-
ed from the GAINESVILLE Chronicle is
pretty tough, but then the proprietor
said he saw it, and we suppose he did.
The only reasonable explanation that
we can see is that the fish had caught
some unlucky fisherman and swallow
ed him. 1t must have been a country
editor Judging from the amount of
money the fish had in him, because
we can't think of any other class OF
fishermen who would go fishing with
so uuch gold and silver tied up in
rag. Ne doubt that catfish had laid
away that $3.50 for "a rainy day." We
would like to inquire of the Chroni-
Gle man IL it ever occurred to him that
Roberts salted that catfish mine before
inviting him to see it prospected.-
Jackson Tribune and Sun.
Some people have queer way OF
reading things. Now Brother Enloe
evidently believes that the senior pro-
prietor of the CHRONICLE is ready to
make an affidavit that he saw this Mis-
sissippi whale open his mammoth jaws
and swallow whole an unlucky Jonah
whose skiff had been capsized by the
turbulent pillows of the great father
OF waters.
But the fact is he won't swear to
anything of the kind. The statement
in this paper was simply to the effect
that the money was in the fish when the
monster was cut open. TO that much
the CHRONICLE has testified and fur
Their this deponent sayeth not.
The fish was alive when it reached
GAINESVILLE and who knows but what
the swallowing process was perform
ed in tub OF water the night before
the dissection took place? IL had
$3.50 in its paunch at the time it was
cut open and was then a valuable
piece OF piscatory property. We
defy any one to gainsay the assertion.

Statesman Hillsman gave double
the bond required for his Office. That
was piece OF ostentation which serves
to confirm what has been said Of his
business standing. When your born
shodyite wants to prove that he is gen.
uine creme de Ia crense he always ra-
veals his true character by OVERRIDING
the thing. That is the way with the
statesman. There was never any re-
tional doubt expressed that his bond
would be made. The political faction
he represents couldn't afford to let
him fall short in that particular.

Lord Randolph Churchill, the young
Conservative leader who has lately

litical battles.

Boss Vertrecs il by nature bull
dozer He started tut with u rather
conservative tone when he took ch.,rge
Of the American, but no one who
knew him expected him I'd continue
in that line. The boss is not in his
element unless he can crack the whip.
He likes to dragon the stragglers
into ranks and such words as t0ler-
ance and catholieity are not in his yo-
eabnlary.
Assuming that his own way of
thinking il the only correct way, CIR mt
least the truly Democratic doc
trine, he has begun to abuse and be-
labor those who differ with him, whom
he styles independents"
This following are some Of the back
handed compliments which the boss
organ has recently been dealing out to
those who have had the temerity to
disagree with him:
No man can be @independent'' in
politics unless he be n fool, rascal or
\ selfish Idler.
We have said that the @independcntr
position is politically vicious. It is
more. IL is morally dishonest.
Knowing him (the, independently to
be a crank, and not to he depended
upon, we have lnoked upon him with
pity rather than contempt.
Whom the gods would destroy they
first make mad. There is no better
way to wind up the machine than to
keep the boss in such frame OF mind
that he win continue to belch out
utterances like the above. Ten

NOT EXACTLY 10.

The vaporings Of the Democrat con-
corning the late railroad commission
i'm Tennessee, the 1908 bill and other
dead matters arc 0f little consenuence.
1t j. way the paper has Of amusing
itself, and we are willing that in should
find the best enjoyment its light al
lows.
But the tender interest we take in
our contemporary leadsrus to adjIre
it to stick closer 10 facts when it
touches on these subjects. Such n
wide departure rs it made from the
truth last week will lead the public to
either doubt is veraciiy or have very
poor opinion Of its facilities for gath
ering information. We quote the
following from its last weeks issue:
The tift,-six newspapers in this State
that Oppose any kind Of railroad regu-
laiiOn, are buSily engaged in copying
from each other to show what ire
mendous public sentiment there is in
favor Of letting the roads have every
thing .heir own way.
Two or three years ago these same
newspapers were busilv engaged i'll
copying from each other to show what
an overwhelming sentiment there was
in favor OF the 1908 bill, and they
were denouncing everybody rs dema-
g'gre<, and machine" men who
dared 10 express the opinion that per
haps this bill inyoi ed higher rate
OF taxation than the people could bear.
Now the truth is, not more than
twelve OF these papers that opposed
the railroad commission favored the
1908 There were, in fact, very few
weekly papers that went into the
Sky Blue movement We can name
numbers Of sos papers that opposed
a railroad commission, notably three
papers at Jackson, the Tribune and
Sun, the Wing and the Dispatch, The
States and Bee ami the Democrat at
Brownsville; the Dyersburg Gazette,
The Milan Exchange, The Memphis
Scimitar. the Memphis Ledger, VIM
chester Home Journal, aud many 9TH
ems that We haven't the space to men,
ton.
The fact is that nearly all Demo
cratic papers that took sides one way
or another were opposed to the
commission scheme. Those that clam
ored for its continuance and now want
another are, the Nashville World, (now
the American,) the Memphis Appeal,
The Knoxville Tribune, dailies, The
GalIatin Tennessean, The McMinn
VILE New Era, the franklin Review
and Journal. the Union City Anchor
and the Clarksville Democrat. There
may be u few others, but they are of
little importance and have never come
under our observation.
The tremendous public sentiment"
which the opposition Journals repre-
scented to have existed seems to have
been pretty well proven by the result
OF heelectiOn. There is really no
better way OF guessing the popular
sentiment on a public issue than by
taking the tone of the country week
lies as criterion.
