State Policy.

Tribune and Sun.
The candidates of the Democratic
and Republican parties in Tennessee,
have completed nearly two-thirds of
the joint appointments agreed upon,
and ifa solitary discussion has even
remotely turned upon distinctive
state policy, the travelling correspon-
dents whogo along to write up the
respective speeches of the candidates,
have utterly failed to notice it. Any
fool can take up and discuss the tariff,
aid to education and other kindred
federal question, because they can
adopt and utter the speeches and
arguments upon these questions,
uttered by men who have studied
them, and thus pass for profound
statesmen with the ignorant and
unthinking; but it requires at least
modicum of brains to rise before
an audience of the people of Tennes-
see, and utter a sensible and well
digested system of state policy. AS a
state we have no concern with federal
questions, and the Governor of the
state is only at rare and long
intervals called upon in any manner
toexpress an opinion or to act upon
any federal question; but as the
chief executive officer of the people,
they look to him in his communion
lions to the legislature to suggest a
line of policy which will tend, In his
opinion, to elevate character and
promote the interests and welfare of
the people.
Tennessee has no distinctive state
politics. Why? Is it because the
parties are fools, towards, knaves or
slaves. 1t is manifestly one or the
other. 1t will not do to say that
either Taylor of Hawkins is a fool.

they are cowards-moral towards

Congressional Campaign.
Chattanooga Times.

Chattanooga Times.
Yesterday Times reporter got an
inside glimpse of what is being done
by the democratic executive COM
mittee of this congressional district,
and was gratified at the outlook for
success.
Reports from the various counties
are coming in full of encouragement
and zeal in the cause and indications
of systematic work. The republicans
are reported is being dispirited in
many localities, lukewarm in others,
and in very few places is there any
enthusiasm or disposition to work.
Chattanooga and Hamilton county
is being organized as it never has
been before, by the democrats, and
all the various clubs are Jealous and
working with a power and a vim.
The utmost harmony and good will
prevails. Speakers are employed
almost nightly infusing hope and
courage into the ranks, and the result
is most gratifying.
JUDGE SHEPHERD IN TILE FIGHT.
The republican situation will be
somewhat further complicated by the
acceptance of the prohibition nomi-
nation for congress by the republic
cans.
A Times reporter yesterday saw
letter addressed by Judge Shepherd
to the chairman of the executive
committee in this city, authorizing
him to say that 81 accept the nomi-
nation for congress, and will in few
days forward a formal letter of
acceptance"
In pursuance of this letter, Mr..
Woodwork, chairman of the prohi-
bition committee, has addressed
letters to the chairmen Of the demo-
cratic and republican parties asking
fora division Of time with Mr.. Bates
and Mr. Evans at their appointments.
He has not yet had reply and 1t is
not known what the answer will. be.
Mr.. Shepherd being a republican
candidate, his party friends fear that
he will weaken Mr.. Evans, and it is
understood that an effort will be
made to dissuade him from taking
the race. His word now seems to be
out, however, and it is thought that
he will not rescind it.

SAM JONES has been here, and been
heard by thousands of people in this
and adjoining counties. While we
think more of Mr.. Jones after having
heard him, we are no more favorably
impressed by some of his methods
and manners than before, but on the
contrary, less so than we expected to
be. Mr.. Jones says a great many
things not fit to be uttered from the
pulpit, and they sound just as bad
and inappropriate from Mr.. Jones as
they would from any other minister.
And while these things may aid in
keeping up his notoriety, we don't
believe they accomplish any good
to the cause for which he is laboring.
We admire Mr.. Jones' b0ldness in
telling people plain, unvarnished
truths, regardless ofwhese toes they
may pinch, but the English language
is sufficient for this purpose without
reSorting to the uncouth and inele-
giant expressions which he uses. Not
much Roadway can be made fighting
filth with impurity. If Mr.. Jones
would weed out few low express
sions from his vocabulary which are
nauseating to refined and enlight-
ened people, we believe he would be
equally as popular and accomplish
more real good. But while there are
some few things said by him which
every sensible person will, on calm,
deliberate consideration, disappr0ve,
there is much, very much, to COM
mend and endorse. He is unques-
tiOnably wonderful man, and no
one with any capacity to judge, who
listens to him through a series of SER
mons, can doubt his earnestness and
sincerity, or his absolute devotion
and conservation to the work of the
Master. We are glad Mr.. Jones
came to McMinnville. He has done
great deal of good here, at least has
inaugurated it; as to how lasting or
effectual it will be depends largely
upon the work of the churches in fu-
ture. 1t is too frequently the case
that as soon as peoples
names are gotten upon the church
book they are considered safe, and
then are simply left to sink or swim.

sounds silly to say that they cannot
do the same thing here at home,
where the advantage is reversed and
the cost of transportation added to

protection is all bosh. 1t simply pro-
tects the great concentrated interests
of capital and monopoly in this coun-
try in their robbery of the American
people, and that is all there is in it.
One reason why the Republicans
are fighting tariff reduction so hard is
because they don't want to be caught

THERE can be no doubt that the
masses Of the people of this country
desire reform and reduction in the
tariff, and further, it cannot be doubt
ed that the interests of the masses de-
mand such reduction. The govern
ment has been collecting more money
from the people than it required for
many years, and for every dollar Of
excess the government has collected
the people have paid seven more dol
lars into the Golfers of rich manufac-
turers. The Republican party has
been promising this reduction for
sixteen years or more. 1t has had
the opportunity, and has failed to re-
deem the promise. Further, it has
rolled every impeachment in the way
of the Democrats in the present Con-
gress, and effectually blocked their
efforts to give the people this relief.
If no other sin could be laid at the
door of the Republican party this
would be sufficient to condemn it,
and it will condemn lit. The Demo
cratic party is pledged to tariff reduc-
ton, and has shown its answering
purpose to redeem the pledge. The
succession to power of the Democratic
party in both houses of Congress will
bring relief from the burdens of the
tariff, and with it an era of prosperity
for the people of the United States
never before equaled in the history Of
this or any other country. Day by
day the eyes of the people are being
opened to this great truth, and on this
do we count for Democratic success
The Democratic party is the only
party in this country upon which the
people can confidently rely for relic
from their burdens. The Republican
party has been weighed in the balan
ces and found wanting.

THE Lynchburg Falcon, in the
course of an article touching the pro-
position in various counties to submit
the Senatorial question to primaries,
makes these very sensible and timely
remarks: "The Senatorial question
has caused and is causing too much
division and dissention within the
Democratic ranks, and unless things
change soon the people will arrive at
the conclusion that Harris and Atkins
are Jonahs and should be thrown
overheard. That they are men of
great intellect who have ever fought
nobly the battle of Democracy,no one
will deny and all will admit, but the
welfare of the party should not be
placed in jeopardy to aid either Of
them in their mad scramble for office,
pie and honors. If the people have
been indebted to them they have long
since cancelled the obligation, for they
have never asked in vain for the suf-
frage of the voters of Tennessee. We
admire them both but we do not
place either of them above the Demo-
cratic party or the principles it en-
bodies"

WE print in another column very

like questions alone, and discuss

SEMI-REMINTSIICCAL

The reunion of the survivors of the
Thirty-fourth congress, of which Gen
\. p. Banks was speaker, announced to
be held shortly in Washington. revives a
bit of "reminiscences that contains some
thing of interest to the older settlers of
this county. General Banks is the last
of the three speakers of the house of rep
resentatives furnished by the state of
Massachusetts, the others being Joseph
B. Varnum and Theodore Sedgwick. 1t
is in connection with the lineage of the
house of Sedgwick that we find interest.
Sedgwick was native of Litchfield, who
settled in Sheffield. Mass. as LAWYER
served in the continental army, was a
warm personal friend of Washington,
distinguished himself in congress.
and at his death in 1918 was a
judge of the supreme court of
Massachusetts,. He was the father of
Catiarine Maria Sedgwick. the authoress
and belonged to the famous Sedgwick
family, which furnished his brother,
General John Sedgwick, to the revoiu-
tionary army. and Major General John
Scdgwick to the union army. and for
whom the county OF Sedgwick was
named. The writer of this was near
