Instantly Killed.

Special to The Journal

day at Bluff City by passenger train
No. 4. He crossed the side-track be-
tween two freight cars and intended
crossing the main line ahead Of Nod.
He was struck by the pilot Of engine
ZIG and killed instantly. Engineer
John Patterson did all in his power to
prevent the accident.

Halstead says there is a flimsiness
in public men that think it a discharge
of duty to cover few sheets of paper
with an alleged law and call it the
voice of God and then leave it to
God. 1t is the administration of the
law that is the thing. Well, the Lodge
law as it passed the House would be a
dead letter in the black belt and an
expensive sham or an unqualified evil
elsewhere. If the idea of the parties
responsible for pushing this bill is to
change the issue before the people
for the next election, congress
gressional and presidential, that is a
a mistake. The bill is an anacronism.
1t was rejected in principle sixteen
years ago, and there is no new vitality
in it.

JOHN P. BUCHANAN,

The Nashville Banner says the utter
insincerity Of Houk, Evans and Tay'
lor is evinced in the fact that they in
sisted upon having the force bill reso-
luton passed in the Republican State
Convention, and now they will sup.
port Baxter for Governor when he re.
pudiates that resolution and opposes
the force bill.

Mr.. Baxter had gone within single
step of the Speakers desk determined
to decline the nomination which
would mean for him orief notoriety at
the expense OF moral conviction. He
paused, listened for a moment to a
corrupt political boss, and then ac-
cepted. Upon the platform adopted
the same political offensiveness which
which clings to Houk, Henderson,
Young and the younger Brownlow
attaches to Baxter also. No line OF
political demarkation can now be
drawn which will put Baxter on the
side Of responsibility, while the often
sive gang, who have so long been a
stencil in the .Rostrils of all honest
men, are oongregated on tho side OF
partisanship and of political offensive

JOiiioNA IVY ANHi'
DEAR SIR: Your letter 23d inst.
is received, with the information
that some other sewing machine
agents are circulating a report that
we have no factory and can not fur
nish any parts of machines when
required, and that the machines are
old ones that we have purchased
and when these are gone, we can
not get any more, This is a lie
from beginning to end, without a
single thread of truth to found such
statement upon, and the men who
make such statements know they
are lies. We have a very large
factory in Williamsport, Pa, front
of factory 500 feet.) In fact, we
probably have a larger and finer
Sewing Machine Factory than any
other Company in this country, ex-
cept the Singer Company.
The machines arc made in toto in
our own factory and we are buying
/ nothing from the New York Co.,
nor is this machine the same as the
New York Machine,
Furthermore, we will give S for
every case where authentic proof is
produced, that any reliable man
makes ANY such statements about
our Company, as we shall most
certainly prosecute them for libel,
and we advise your publishing this
this statement, in fact, all this letter
The Demorest Machine will
stand any comparison or test with
any Sewing Machine made in the
United States, and we will stand by
this statement.

A Tricky Trio.

Republicans in the Senate who have
anything like true sense OF right
and justice are hesitatiDg over the
force bill, and it is not likely the mea-
sure will be passed. Connected and
narrow-minded partisans like Houk
and Taylor and Evans wish the bill
passed, but such men have far less
patriotism than partisanism, and
much more vanity than statesman.
ship. They are very small men,
whose actions indicate that they
would sacrifice their party in the
State to keep themselves on top in
their congressional districts. Houk
has political shrewdness, but he has
arrogance of supreme ssltishness.
Taylor is well, Taylor is stuffy, and
the elevation OF Evans to a prominent
office has given him an exaggerated
idea of his own immensely.
