For the first time in its history the
Tennessee Democracy made no utter
ance on the tariff question in its recent
Convention. 1t neither denounced the
tariff as robbery nor asked for revision
Senator Carmack said: Some say that
the tariff question was just forgotten;
others say they wished to avoid the tariff
question" The New South is becoming
the home of protected industries, and

Economy rules in the House, and the
s150,000 item in the appropriation for
the Geological Survey for gauging
streams and determining water supply
was knocked out on point of order.
The Geological Survey says that this will
greatly hamper the work that it is do
ing in the way of determining the
amount of water available and the con-
tinuance of the investigation of under
ground currents and artesian wells.

There are more signs of business life
and activity in Florida than almost any
where else in the South. The lumber
business has become very extensive and
highly important, so that the timber
men have formed a trust. Cattle rails.
ing is also making fine profits, and those
rwho raise pigs and sheep seem more
than satisfied with their success. The
Florida towns are booming and much
of the editorial matter in the local press
are vigorous disputes over the growth
statistics, in the true Western style.

Some years ago the New York Legis-
Iature passed a law providing that tax
of one-half of one per cent each year
should be paid upon all mortgages. AS
one might have foreseen, this worked
very badly, the tax had to be paid by
tha borrower, and there was no end of
grumbling. The law has nov been
amended by making the tax only paid
when the mortgage is recorded.

Gov. Guild, of Massachusetts, has
done well in refusing the appeals of a
most of misguided sentimentalists to
modify the death sentence of a convict
ed murderer. AS an honest official he
could not do otherwise. The law pro-
y:Ged the penalty for the crime, which
. was clearly proven in the judgment of
the y impartial men who heard the
evidence and all that could be said for
and against the prisoner by the able
counsel. The Supreme Court decided
that the trial had been perfectly reg1-
lar, and the prisoner given every possi-
Die favor. Therefore. nothing was left
to the Governor, as the faithful execu-
tant Of the law, but let It take its course.

''To Theodore Roosevelt, President o
the United States"

Palpably Capt. Wadsworth had much
the best Of the President In this corre-
spondence, and the President fastened
to set himself right as to certain por-
ton by laying the blame for misinfor-
nation upon Senator Beveridge. This
will not commend itself to most people,
inasmuch as they will think that the
President should certainly have read the
bill carefully before he started in to
write such a scorching letter.
He replied to Capt. Wadsworth as
follows:

Committee on Agriculture, House Of
Representatives"

purposes has aroused such general pro
test that it will be an exceedingly
reckless campaign manager who will
accept money in the future from such
sources, thinks the Philadelphia Press
(Rep), which indorses Mr.. Sherman's
solution of the campaign-fund problem.
So far, The Inquirer (Rep.) of the
same city suspects, Mr.. Sherman has
received more encouragement than
money; but it goes on to say: "There
is no Republican who can not afford a
dollar. Democratic victory would cost
every man in the country very many
dollars, and as an insurance scheme
the contribution is not only necessary
but exceedingly cheap" The Pitts
burg Gazette-Times (Rep) comments
as follows:
Naturally this simple device COM
mends itself to the President because
of the conditions which have made it
necessary. In former times the great
corporations were the chief donors Of
campaign funds. and very little money
was obtained from the privates in the
ranks of the political parties. Largely
through Mr.. Roosevelt's instrumental
ity a death-blow has been dealt to the
practice of collecting funds from such
sources. Henceforward, therefore,
the campaign committees of all par
ties must look to individuals for the
wherewithal to meet the heavy cost of
campaigning"
"a practical plan," admits the New
ark Advertiser Qnd). The Boston
Herald and the New York Even
ing Post, also representatives Of
the Independent press, point out that
the Democratic Campaign Committee
is face to face with similar problem.
"The Belmonts and other rich men
who put up for the Parker campaign
may be backward in coming forward
to support a preliminary Bryan BOOM"
suggests the Boston Herald. The Post
sees humor in the situation:
eve are poor now rises the voice
of Chairman Griggs, and we can not
afford to chase rainbows. Therefore,
if any district is hopeless, it is the
duty of good Democrats to tell him
so frankly. More modest in its re-
quirements than even the Republicans,
this committee only asks the faithful
for the present to expend the price Of
a two-cent stamp. We offer our sim
cere sympathy to the manufacturers
of banners and torches and regalia.
Their occupations gone, indeed. But
the fear that really haunts us in this
crisis is that the Populists or the Pro
hibtionists, who are not manifesting
any scruples against taking all they
can get, and presumably have as big
funds as ever, will come forward sud-
denly, outbid the poverty-stricken Re-
publicans and Democrats, and scoop
the election"
The Independent Public Ledger, of
Philadelphia, suggests encouragingly
that "the contributions of the Presi-
dent and Governor Higgins will enable
Mr.. Sherman to send out one hundred

PEET STILL AFTER PREACHERS.

Editor Truth:-On September %,
1903, the following appeared in the
Salt Lake Herald, and in substance
in the other papers in Salt Lake City.
The Herald gave it much space and
large head lines:
will fight Mormons. Ministers op
pose election of Saints to council or
municipal office.-At a meeting of the
Ministerial association yesterday, a
resolution was introduced which indi-
Gates that the preachers of the city
propose to take hand in the coming
municipal campaign. They want to be
heard in the matter of electing city
officers and they propose to make a
fight against Mormons being put into
the city council and in the Office of
mayor. The resolution introduced was
as follows: Resolved, that it be the
sense of this Ministerial association
that the time has come for the election
# an out-and-out Gentle mayor and
city council, the majority of the men,
bers of which will not be tools in the
hands of the Mormon hierarchy The
resolution was read but not adopted
yesterday. The consideration of it and
action upon it was made a special or
