DOES NOT DECEIVE.

There seems to be general I'M
derstanding among a certain class
of democratic papers to lay all the
blame of the present hard times
upon Cleveland's shoulders. They
think thus to excuse themselves
and their platform from any blame
and next election ride into power
again, with some other man upon
the plea that good times would
have resulted had they been al.
lowed to carry out all their wild
and Obstructive policies. But this
false plea will not deceive the peo-
pie. 1t is a well understood fact
that if such a man as Cleveland
had not been in the Presidentia
chair the times would have been
a great deal worse than they are
at present. Because Cleveland has
held in check democratic wildnes'
and on account of his interference
many a foolish and Injurious meas
ure. has been prevented from pass
ing.
If the present Vice-presiden
had been President instead of Mr.
Cleaveland there is no doubt bu
that, as hard as times are now
they would have been a great des
harder for there would not hav,
been the slightest doubt about tn
whole silly mass of injuriou
schemes, known as the democrat
ic platform, being carried Out
whereas with Grover in, Their
was only probability of this beini
done and it is now absolutely Gel
tain that great deal of what wa
in the platform viii not becom
law while he is President. And a
the result there is now Il slight i'm
provement in the condition of al
irs. If only Grover CLEVELAND

work, Mr.. Houk's re. election to
congress seems assured.
All which goes to show that
John G. Houk is no mean political
strategist.
Do you see!
The success of both parties seems
only to depend on good faith, a
loyal carrying out Of the agree
ment. For the Houk republicans
can pull the whole county roster
through and give all the local pie
to the unterritied; and in return
the democrats, with no congress
sional candidate of their own, can
throw enough help to the Houk
column to make him his own sue
cessor. And this is politics, for
there is no fun in defeat.
All very we'll to talk of.loyaly to
party and devotion to priniple, but
only the minorites know the in
convenience and humiliation OF
defeat and what it is TO feed upon
husks!
Chancellor Gibson is fine writ
err and a good speaker. He will
have the brass band and good
deal of it the coming summer and
fall. There will be barbacues,
parades, music and enthusiastic
meetings, but if the compact herein
outlined be kept, the signing
November winds will bring no JOY
for him.
Our conjectures may be wrong,
but time will show. But it is
worthy of mention that the HouE
leaders make no war on democrats
and that every illusion of the demo
Gratis to Mr.. Houk is Vt friendly
character, and that they are all
down on Chancellor Gibson.
The Record is not the organ Of
any party or faction, but an indie
pendent newspaper, and can afford
to state the situation as it is. And
it is probably the only newspaper
in Knoxville that can do it.
The betrothal herein outlined
has taken place, and the marriage
feast is expected to occur II
November.
And If successful, the fusion will
stamp John q. Houk a most sue
cessful political strategist.

lie and SANDER of newspapers In
general, and hence of some account
to honest publishers and editors.
II these republicans who are sup
porting Gibson; up there; have the
witto handle this feature of Houk's
campaign adioltly they can easily
turn that gun on his columns; and
snake the flesh fly in grand style.
Chattanooga Times:
We clip the above from the
Times; not that we desire to do Mr..
Houk harm or Mr.. Gibson good,
but because it expresses our
opinion of the campaign papers.
We have kept our hands and our
columns out of this fight for the
very reason as expressed by the
Chattanooga Times. Men who
want to run for office start their
own organs, send their paper out
gratuitously, thereby cutting the
throat of every legiti mate paper
in that district, and yet expect
their friends who own and publish
papers to rally to their support
We say now "nary" rally comes
from Us. Our newspapers are our
property, they belong TO no one
else, and we don't propose to put
ourselves out to support man OF
men who have their own organ tC
make their fight. Perhaps some
people will learn some sense finan
cially and otherwise before this
campaign is over. But we are
still for Bart Lindsay lockwood

MANS SHOCKING DEPRAvlTY.

MhN y S|lOtNiNO III unpiits
The awful tragedy reported from
BlOunt County this morning is ter
rible to contemplate. 1t is terrible
in its results, sickening, appalling
in its suggestions. 1t reveals u
st tie of human depravity that tax
es belief Valuable property in
ashes, the work of a villain incen-
diary's torch. An attempt to
bruitally murder without cause
a worthy citizen at his own home
1t is dIfficnlt to conceive of a thing
more diabolical in it's execution.
If the internal regions were raked
over, and all the devils in hell sum-
moned, with orders to exercise
all their satanic capability in de-
vising and executing that which
shocks the moral sensibilities of
humanity and shakes confidence
of mankind, they could scarcely
surpass the effort of this human
fiend, who foulIy attempted to
murder James An lersOn, and who
applied the incendiary torch to the
property of good people as they
sleep in the homes acquired and
maintained by honest industry.
Mans moral and spiritual nature
susceptible Of elevation to point
only little lower than that of the
angels in heaven; it is equally
true that he is capable of degrade
ton to the level of devils in hell.
And while men and women may
entertain angels unaware, at the
same time we know there are
devils of lust, fiendish murders
cowardly assassins and atrociOus
monsters of unspeakable iniquity
abroad in the land. That men can
become bloodthirsty villains, such
demons of destruction is one OF
earths mysteries. Why should
they be created in the image Of
God and then be endowed so abun
dainty with the attributes of the
devil? Without attempting an an
swer, we all know that things are
constantly transpiring calculated
to arouse an honest doubt as t.
whether the spirit of saten is no
the predominant feature in mans
character. That spirit certainl,
prevails in the character of some
But we console ourselves by turn
ing to the bright side of the pict
ure, and by rejecting that there
are hundreds of thousands of gooC
men and women, whose light'
shine constantly before the people
and who never cease to be goot
and do g0od.-KnOXville Journal.

THE democrats obtained control
of the House of the Fifty-second
Congress largely through misre-
presentations of the appropriations
made by the Fifty-first Congress
and of the HReed rules" Of the
House. The appropriations of the
Fifty-second Congress exceeded
those of the Fifty-first and those
of tho present Congress
promise to do likewise, and now
the democrats OF the House have
adopted the quorum counting rule
for which they so long abused Mr.
Reed and the republicans. In view
of these facts it will be long time
before the democrats will carry
another election by misrepresenta-
tions. In the language of slang
dom, the people are "onto" them
The republicans of the House
have been very considerate OF the
feelings of the democrats while
they have been eating their dish oil
crow. 1t is glory enough for the
republicans that their ideas have
had to be adopted by the demo
Gratis of the House, and they ARE
perfectly willing to leave it to the

statements about the "outrage0ug'
ami unconstitutional" counting Of

ASTAlE FAlSEH00D.

We have received the Initial
number of Hon. John Campbell
Houk's Republican Leader, Of
Knoxville, which is to be his cam
paign organ. In announcing sthe
reson for establishing his campaign
sheet Mr.. H0uk says that "bags OF
Doodle have been so manipulated
as to upon the people of the dis
trict subsidized press, purchased
TO advocate the claims of the bolt
ing candidate for congress. With
Congressman Houk rs the strongest
candidate of the republican party,
it is absolutely necessary that he
should have newspaper in which
to present his claim to the people,
as well as to hold down TO their
proper level all these political
aspirants who, like Judas Iscariot,
would bolt from the strait and
narrow way and betray the cause
of their friends"
In another place the congress
man says that he must have a
newspaper of his own, because
essentilly the whole republican
press of the district has heen
bought up by Gibson. These ad-
missions and charges are the old
stock in trade, of the fellow who
would use a mere advertising hand
bill, to forward his political or other
enterprises. The press in his lingo
is always "subsidized," simply be-
cause it does not, free gratis, for
nothing, and regardless of the
editors judgment come up to his
support. Every newspaper of his
party; whose editor refusesito push
his aspirations, has sold out the
party to the other candidate or
faction.
But what of the newspaper. these
when found and run, for a few
months, confessedly in their own
behalf solely? Any subsidy" be,
hind them? There is no pretenst
of public demand for them, as
business enterprises. There i,
not even the pretense that they are
based on anything but the money
the proprietor shells out; and al
little pretense that they will b'
continued a day after the vote
have been polled they are intend
ed to influence. Is not this tn
boldest of all theforms of subsidy
If not, then we do not know thu
meaning of the term.
The promise of the founder o
such hand bill is to the effect tina
his rival has subsidized all thu
established newspapers; and tn
conclusion is that this must b.
counteracted by the press the yer.

POLITICAL CATHOLICS.
A CLASS OF MEN WHO A THOR
OUCH REBUKE.

A CLASS OF MEN WHO DESERVE A THOR
OUGH REBUKE.
The present campaign in Connecticut
has produced n set of men who should
be very thoroughly rebuked by their CO.
religionist. We refer to that class of
men who are always intensely Catholic
about election time and who seek to
make their fellow Catholics believe that
only by their success at the polls can the
faith be saved from destruction in Am
erica.
The country is full of these miserable
specimens Of Catholicity. They bob up
in campaign times as promiscuously as
flies appear in August. And they are
just about as offensive. The present
campaign, owing to the activity of the
A. =. A., which has been more or less
pernicious. has given these political
Catholics an opportunity to exploit
themselves and their seltishness in a way
whose consequences must be most iniur-
ious. One would think, to hear some
Catholic otfice -hunters talk, that the
whole issue of the campaign, and the
whole fortunes of the Church they osten-
%tatiously parade as theirs, revolved
around their diminutivc political hopes
and ambitions. Perhaps, though, if the
truth were known, these very men care
as little for the Church and its interests
as they do for the party they affect when
their own selfish purposes are not an
isSue.
For such political Catholics we have
only contempt. We advise our Catholic
readers to despise them also. They are
a blight on the Church, a blot on its fair
namc. They are political parasites, who
would cut off the Catholic Church from
conforming to the spirit of our institu-
tons; they can be no more tolerated by
intelligent Catholics, or their sentiments
endorsed, than the Cahenslyites, who
would build up national churches within
the republic. The A. p. A. as an instit-
ution can not long thrive in this country.
The very atmosphere of our liberty is in
tolerant of it. No more can the c. p. A.
which political Catholics would estab-
fish to the lasting injury of the Church
in America.
