THE JARVIS LAW.

Reasons which prompted the legls'
lature of Tennessee to enact the Jar
Wis criminal cost bill do not exist al
this time. When the General Assem-
bly, convened in 1897 the state was
face to face to face with deficit The
ordinary income of the treasury was
not sufficient to meet the running ex
nenses Of the government and pay the
interest on the state debt. From the
hour that Gov Bate affected settle
ment of the vexatious State debt In
1883 not one dollar had been paid on
the principal and the interest account
was undimlnished Hence in 1897 a
policy OF retrenchment and reform
was inaugurated. The criminal cost

BROKEN PLEDGES.

Governor Patterson insists that this
campaign would be decided, not upon
what Senator Carmack will do If he
becomes Governor, but upon the rec
ord which he has made. This chal-
lenge Is gladly accepted and It is sur
prising that the Governor knows 80
little of his record of promises and
performance that he should evince a
willingness to be judged by the record,
If Gov. Patterson can demonstrate by
the record that he has kept faith with
the people and has performed with
reasonable fidelity his duty to the pub
lie he ought to be reelected.
But this the Governor has pitifully
failed to prove. The campaign is

SITUATION IN TENNESSEE.

Almost every day we hear the state
ment from good honest men, many OF
whom believe it, that the liquor ques-
ton is not involved in the race for
Governor. But "Bonfort's Wine and
Spirit Circular" the leading liquor
trade paper in the United States,
throws some light On the subject from
the standpoint of The liquor people
themselves. In its issue Of May 20,
under the heading, situation in Ten
nessee," Bonfort's says:
The fight in that state is between
ex-senator Carmack, who is adVocat-
ing state wide prohibition, and the
present Governor, Patterson, and in
favor of conditions remaining as they
are. 10th of these gentlemen are
Democrats, and each is making the
fight for nomination of Governor in
Tennessee. The Democratic nom1na-
ton is equivalent to an election, and
in consequence the nomination OF Car
mack, provided he had with him leg
islature favorable to his views, would
mean the destruction not only for the
wholesaler and retailer in Tennessee,
but of the brewer and distiller as well.
The trade in Tennessee is making
strong fight, but it must be remember
ed that this trade is confined to three
counties out of ninety-six and that the
odds against it are very great. AS
slstance from the outside in the way
of writer's and speakers, and also con-
trbutions to aid the creation OF
strona organization, would seem to be

When the Governor entered the Of
fee Of chief executive he had a mag
nIfcent opportunity. Had he only set
himself honestly and conscientiously
to work to redeem his promises and
to keep faith with the people he would
not have had any opposition. Instead
of pursuing the paths that he had so
eloquently marked out in his contest
for Office he began a systematic cam
paign of machine building. In order
to secure reelection by the machine
route the Governor scorned the adj
vice of those who had sincerely es-
poused his claims because they be-
Iieved in the honesty of his purposes.
Eloquently and earnestly the Gov
ernor pleaded for a restoration OF the
rule of the people. He denounced the
enormous patronage which the chief
executive controlled, but when he got
into office he prostituted all the pow
ers of his high station in order to OBJ
tain greater patronage.
Gov. Patterson had denounced the
election laws from one end of the
State to the other as infamous, but
he made no effort to reform them. In
spite of the fact that there was pend
ing in the Legislature bill that
would have restored the election ma
chinery to the people and kept his
promises, the Governor sent
in a special message urging that the
law should not be changed in any es-
sential particulars and today the Gov
ernor just as surely holds within the
hollow of his hand the election ma
of Tennessee as any OF his
ever did.
Two years ago Gov. Patterson thun- !

But the situation was vastly differ
