to secure $15, ,0C0 damages. Although the

ABOUT WEATHER
Our connoisseurs on temperature are
Messrs. g. w. Thompson and II. D.
Vail. The latter today handed us the
following report:
The weather record for the year 1895,
as kept by Mr.. Hugh d. Vail is strong
argument for our climate, and will in
terest ell those seeking change for
health or pleasure. 1t shows an aver
age velocity of wind only four miles
per hour and maximum movement of
only fourteen miles at the timo Of the
stormy weather in February. Rain fell
on but twenty days, and on many of
those there was but very small
amount, in some instances only 10
OF an inch. The highest temperature
during the year was 81 degrees, and
that on November 18th, and the lowe It
375 degrees. on February 4th. There
were less than twenty days on which
people with de icate health could not
ride or walk out with perfect safety.
There are few places in the world, if
any, that can make such showing.

SANTA BARBARA AFFAIRS

SANTA BARBARA, Jan. 11.-Counsel
are today engaged in arguing the di-
vorce case of Maggie Quinn VS.. John
j. Quinn before Judge w. B. Cope.
Plaintiff is represented by Attorneys
Thomas McNulta and S. E. Grow, while
defendant is supported by B. Il.
Thomas, Esq. The case is interesting
from various standpoints. Mrs. Quinn
asks for a decree on the grounds of
cruelty, infidelity and failure to pro-
vide, yet defendant has shown by COM
petent testimony that plaintiff was at
various times guilty of misconduct
with J. J. Brown. The proceedings
have created widespread interest, the
residents of Santa Ynez have all taken
sides, and developments are making a
stir in this city; but as the trial pro-
ceeds with closed doors. local papers
have little to say on the subject. All
the witnesses in this case have been
subp9naed in the suit of J. J. Quinn
vs. j. J. Brown for $4,000 dam
ages for alternating his wife's
affections, and the trial of this
cause will commence on Monday next.
Brown runs a saloon in Santa Ynez and
has encountered world OF trouble.
He was arrested, tried and acquitted
in the superior court for selling liquor
to Indians; he was discharged by the
federal grand jury in Los Angeles for
the same offense; his place of business
was destroyed by fire, and he now
finds himself on the defensive in
another trial, to be commenced i'm
mediately after the damage suit,
wherein his brother Chicky sues for an
accounting on the ground that he was
full partner. The judge unwarily
appointed Fernando Cardenes, a pal OF
Chicky, as receiver, and he is now in
charge of the saloon; but the mercen-
Rry brother will find that bill of sale
made to J. J. Brown long since, and
which he supposes was destroyed by
fire, still exists and will rise up in

Ned Carmack's election is claimed in
the Tenth District by a plurality of $50
votes. The Patterson following de.
clare thatoutrageous frauds have been
committed in Fayette and Upton
Counties, and that with fair count
Patterson is elected. Col. Patterson
has taken legal steps to compelI the
Sheriff of Upton County to certify the
votes correctly. There is good reason
to believe that a scheme has been
worked to count Patterson out, and It
ia to be hoped that the schemers will be
foiled. Fayette, Upton and Haywood
Counties have become notorious for
election frauds which are frequently
and unblushingly perpetrated. Col.
Patterson will render the State a valu.

posing the frauds and bringing the

A Serious Natter.

The prevalence of election frauds in
this State and the persistencey with
which they are perpetrated are facts
which should excite the gravest con,
Germ on the part of all right minded
citizens. Evidence of the most out,
rageous practices by machine heeIers
at the polls multiply, and still more
serious consideration is that they may
go unrebuked by the courts. The elec
ton laws of this State were framed for
sinister partisan purposes, and yet even
these partisan and confusing laws are
not enforced. The most shameful
frauds and corruption are prevalent,
and an election by the people becomes
farce and mockery. A fair ballot
and fair count in Tennessee would
have elected Tillman Governor. In.
deed, there is every reason to believe
that, despite the intimidations and
tricks at 80 many polls to prevent a
free and fair election, a fair count of
the ballots actually cast would give
Tillman a good plurality. But fraud,
as ithas 80 often succeeded, will doubt
less triumph, and another Governor
who was not fairly elected will serve
out term.
What are the people to do about it?
Are we to abandon all hope of having
fair election? Must the machine tri.

and of fair dealingY What Is the use
OF holding elections when they are
carried by fraudY Who will be found

hence to oppose the machine candi.
date for Governor, when the machine
can determine elections by its own
methods? What must be done to save
the State from such rcproach in the
future and and to avoid the great in
jury which is done the State by fl audi.
lent election schemesp If we are to
have capital and immigration to aid In
building up q prosperous common
wealth, we must in some way put down
election stealing. 1t is a matter of SO.
rious concern.-Nashville Banner.
