Another tale Of horror comes of
the burning the steamer J. M.
White, on the Mississippi river, at
St Morris plantation, in the state
of Louisiana, by which about so
lives were lost. Steamboats, should
not be permitted to fence passengers
in with such Infammable material
as cotton, So that in case of fire
there Is no way # escape Congress
should take hold Of the natter at
once, and make some regulation for
the prevention Of such fearful loss of
human lie by burning boats.

TIE RvLLAEOHE AND CAUCUS.

TEE AVLLAEOHE AND CAUCUS.
A gool n airy Of the readers o.
the Avalanche have been anxious
10 kpow what the position of that
paper would be with reference 10
caucus, under its new management.
For the last dozen years the Ava
lanche has been antagonIzing every
thing which the democrats IN Ten
nessee have advocated, and Its
utterances have sounded more like a
Republican, than a democratic
ilurnal With each change in It's
management during that time, the
democrats have hoped, and the
Republicans have feared that 1t
would be improved in its democracy.
But, the democrats have been doom
Ell to disappointment until now. In
discussing the custom Of a caucus 1t
says: "The fears Of the ahti-cau-
Gus Democrats In reference to the
Avalanche are unfOunded. 1t Is
now, and proposes to be, the org an
of political independence of rings
and to advocate true Democratic
principles. But it proposes to deieal
/ the bosses within the party. A;
long as they have a majority it i
not Democratic to destroy the or
gauizatIon OF the party in order t.
GUST them. The true theory Of pro
gress is to meet them at the prima
ries, at county conventions, at thu
polls, III the caucus, and route then
there"
The Bulletin is as much oppose'
to "boss rule" as any paper cal
possibly be, and will heartily jol1
hands with any one in putting
down. But, we do not believe tn
5 Den ocra,ic party in Tennessee ha
been dominated by bosses since tn
, DAYS of the 1908 Act. Since thu
2 time the great body of the part
: have been directing its policies, an
they have set squarely down on Il
t bosses, and tie gentleman who wei
o smashed have been crying o.
e against imaginary "rirgs" al
3 "caDals" eyer since. They we
"a simply mistaken as to what stru'
them. They thought they wei
stricken down by the kind of M
chine which they had been usil
y when it was the fat of the RAJ
a file Of the party which laid the
y low. In discussing the use Of t
e caucus 1t says;
ne It's a piece of machinery to
IN used when exigencies demand
Nv The time to use it is when there Is
al prospect Of weak kneed Democl

That is the right spirit, and
e. heartily endorse it, but we wo

J. Carey, Sec,

Congressman Herbert, of Alabama,
has offered in Congress a bill to re-
move from ex- Confederate soldiers
the disabilities which forbid them
to serve as officers in the army and
navy of the United States. The
fact that such disabilities exist shows
a most anomalous and absurd state
of affairs. To-day eX-cOnfederate
soldiers are Cabinet Ministers, Sen
ators, Congressman, Ambassadors
to foreign coun tries, and are not de-
barred By law fir ON occupying the
highest office in the nation-that Of
Chief Magistrate of the Republic.
There is no public station, honor or
emoIument IN the gift of their coun-
trymen they may not enjoy save and
except the privilege OF dying for
their country, under the old flag,
and wearing the uniform of an off
Ger of the army or navy. This Is
absurd and conCemptibie in the ex-
IRENE and the politicians who are In
strumental in perpetuating such
pItiful outrage ought to be heartily
ashamed Of themsel PicayUne

Senator Sherman in his speech be-
fore the Senate on the Morrill, reso-
luton declaring against any further
effort to reduce the tariff by the pre-
sent Congress, said that under the
protective system, followed by demo-
cratic competition, our home in
dustries have been defended against
foreign competition until they have
been built up and now our home
products arc rs cheap as the articles
made IN foreign countries. If our
home industries are not the puny,
sicklv infants, whiah some republ1-
can politicians would have us be-
lieve, but are as Mr.. Sherman says,
able to compete with foreign coun-
tries in our own and foreign markets
then the necessity for protecting
these industries no longer exists, anC
the time when the tariff should be
reduced has certainly arrived. The
Government does not need The
money, and tile protected industries
do not need protection any longer
Then, why keep up a tariff which
averages As per cent. on more thar

the above statement WIS made

The Democratic Era.

And now feuow~citzens, what
is the meaning of all this rushing
in ofprosperity upon the country?
Let's answer it by the very rule LAID
down by our Republican frien Is:
They attribute the hard times to
Democratic rule. Now why not
attribute the good times to it? DEM
ocracv was aImini5terin g laws passed
by Republicans when it produced
hard times, but as soon as it had
time to pass laws or to cure the de-
fects by administering il righteous
ness the old laws, 10! prosperity rushes
in as q mighty wind That is their
own argument turned on them

The Albany Express Rep. says
one would suppose, judging from

ana that he entirely overlooks the

Repubiicanism and Vandalism.

whisky aud tobacco tax because he
believed that it would bring more

A caucus Necessary

It is important that the Legislature
elect a man to the United States
Senate who stands squarely in line
with his party, for no other sort can
truly represent the great Democratic
party of Tennessee. There are a
number of aspirants for the high and
honorable position, and as all the
gentlemen claim to be good DEM
ocrats, they should be willing to let
the Democratic members of the Leg
stature settle the question of who
shall be Senator without Republican
interference or dictation. 1t is a
matter in which Democrats alone
should have a say, and the members
of that party should decide in eau
Gus held for that purpose which Of
the candidates shall represent Tenn
essee in the United States Senate.
The Times. as is we'll known. earn
estly desires the election OF non. Al
bert S. Marks, but if Gov. Marks
cannot be the choice of a majority of
the Democrats in the Legislature,
he ought to be defeated and man
who is the choice of the dominant
party elected. No man VINO is
unwilling to trust his claims to office
to the members Of his own political
party is worthy Of their confidence
All true Democrats will abide the
action of a caucus, and the claims o.
Others should not be considered by

ture. -Manchester Times.

The present administration contains
one ignoramus, ut least. His name is
Sparks-a name that is becoming dis.
gustingly familiar in the Northwest
His latest ruling Ito be found in another
column) caps the climax for official
stupidity and ignorance. 1t will be
seen that the final proof of settler can
only he taken before ''the Register and
Receiver, the Clerk of the County
Court, or Of any court of record, of the
county and State, or district and Ter
ritory, in which the land is situated, or
before such clerk in some adjacent
county, in case the land lies i'm an
unorganized county," The practice
which has been in vogue of taking tes-
timony before notaries, is by this ruling
annullcd. Here lies the evil, particu-
larly to settlers remote from courts of
record. 1t means that the claimant
must go to the expense of taking his wit
nesses to the county seat or other
court Of record, it matters not what
the distance. In large counties like
Meagher, the expense under this ruling
would amount to more than the origi-
nal cost of the land. In most counties
in Dakota it may not prove so great
hardship as the counties are smaller,
but even there it is an unnecessary and
unwarranted tax upon the poor settler.
The oath Of u notary is just as binding
rs that Of county clerk, and the
penalty for perjury just AS severe.
This order should be over-ruled.
The Register at Helena. our delegate
in Congress, and the Territorial press
should join their efforts to this end.
In his desire to catch thieves, Sparks
is placing burdens upon settlers and
retarding immigration. He apparently
knows but little about the great west.
He should be given to understand that
