THE TENNESSEE CONTEST.

The political situation in Tennes-
see is OF national interest. There is
very hopeful prospect that a Re-
publican governor may be elected in
that state and that hereafter it may
be fairly contested ground between
the two parties, as Maryland, Ken
lucky and Missouri have become.
The Republicans have nominated
for governor BENJAMIN w. HOOP
Err, a young and new leader in the
party, who, from all reports, appears
able to unite the party in his support
and to invite the assistance of those
Democrats who are opposed to Gov.
PATTERSON and without whose aid
he could not expect to be elected.
Gov. PATTERSON, who has been
renominated by the regular Demo-
cratic organization, has divided his
party by pardoning Col. DUNCAN
b. COOPER, the Confederate soldier
last year convicted of killing ex-
Senator CARMACK, and for his
threatening and remarkable attitude
toward the judges of the Supreme
court who sustained the verdict
against COOPER. The governor has
further aggravated the situation by
many other pardons of convicted
riminals-several of them notori-
ously bad and dangerous men.
The executive attempt to menace
and control the courts and his de-
feat of justice by abnormal exercise
of the pardoning power when his
threats proved ineffective have just
ly alarmed thoughtful and law-re-
specting citizens, Democrats as
well as Republicans. At the last
judiciary election they supported and
reelected the judges who had refus-
ed to be dictated to by Gov. PAT
TERSON, who were not frightened
by his threats. and who had been

for the good of his party. Let's see.
When did lie begin?-Buffalo Ex-
press.
Mr.. BRYAN is his own party, and
to that party the Peerless Pleader
of the Platte has been intensely and
profitably loyal since that Grown
of Thorns and Cross of Gold" day
in 1896. His work for that party"
has netted him approximately $780,
600, after deducting $4,000
farmhouse outside Lincoln, two
trips to the Far East, a $4,000 au-
tomobile, and a costly son-in-law
whose grass widow is now married
to an English officer in Jamaica.
Why, in the name of the Chicago
platform and the crop of Kansas
Populists that at one time over
shadowed and engulfed the crop of
Kansas sunfiowers, shouldn't Mr.
BRYAN continue to labor assiduously
for "the good of his party?" That
party" has boosted him from a
snivelling little $4,000 in 1896 to
a near-plutocrat in time for the
1910 census. Mr.. BRYAN would
be ungrateful and unwise in the
same breath if he went back on his
party" now. BRYAN'S loyalty to
BRYAN has paid the Peerless Plead
er we'll.

CATARRH CANNOT BE CURED

with LOCAL APPLICATIONS, as
they cannot reach the seat of the
disease. Catarrh is a blood or con-
stitutional disease, and in orEer to
cure it you must take internal reme-
dies. Halls Catarrh Cure is taken
internally, and acts directly on the
blood and mucous surfaces. Halls
Catarrh Cure is not a quack medi-
cine. 1t was prescribed by one of
the best physicians in this country
for years and is a regular prescrip-
tion. 1t is composed of the best
tonics known, combined with the
best blood purifiers, acting directly
on the mucous surfaces. The per-
feet combination of the two ingred-
tents is what produces such won
derful results in curing Catarrh.

denied a denomination by the regu-
lar Democratic organization under
the governors control. These judges
are Democrats, but they were re-
elected by the practically solid Re-
publican vote, together with the vote
of the nti-PATTERsoN Demo-
Gratis, an element to be reckoned with,
for it seems to have dollars as well
as courage at its command.
That same vote, if cast for the
Republican candidate for governor,
will elect Mr.. HOOPER and will be
a result as creditable to the Demo-
Gratis who have a part in it as the
support of the Democratic judges in
the recent election was creditable to
the Republicans. That this united
action of decent forces is feared by
Gov. PATTERSON and his faction
has been made evident by the
panicky but vain efforts of the gov
ernor to shift the responsibility for
this pronounced popular resentment
and Indignation to other shoulders.
He has reason to fear the majority
of the people of the state, after sus-
tanning the judges against his as
saults, are not likely to renew his
power to thwart justice either by
browbeating courts or pardoning
criminals.
The contest in Tennessee is really
one for the restoration of the honor
and good name of the state, both
of which have been seriously i'm
paired by the amazing conduct of
hot-headed and irascible Gov. PAT
TERSON. Such a struggle is an es-
sential test of the character of the
state and the purpose of its people
to make progress along enlightened
lines. 1t naturally commands wide
attention. 1t may mean that Ten.
nessee, not Georgia, will be the next
state to follow Missouri and break
away from the solid South.

a bit irascible and vehement at per-
iods, seems to have the municipal
good at heart and who, it appears
from reports of recent council meet
ings, is desirous of seeing the COM

out-a scheme that just now is re-
ceiving a considerable degree of
attention from the thinking citizens
of Harrisburg and Williamsport and
York and Johnstown.
We refuse to be pessimistic about
the tomorrow of our neighbor over
the Moosics. Carbondale has good
men and plenty of them. The Car
bondale spirit, save on the somewhat
hysterical and touchy topic of
Honesdale ball games, is a fair and
rational spirit. We congratulate
Carbondale on a probable population
of 10000, a gain of 5000 since the
1900 nose-counting. There are
worse Pennsylvania cities than Car
bondale. Cut out the brickbats and
the cobblestones that too often dis
figure a Sunday ball game in the
Lackawanna city and Carbondale
would be entitled to a place in the
ranks of model Pennsylvania towns.

The Man Without a Party.

The case of w. j. Bryan is un-
doubtedly a sad one. He is the
Jonah of politics. He caused the
downfall and disappearance of the
once fiourishing Populist party; he
brought the great Democratic party
to the brink of ruin. His fondness
for new issue-whether free silver
or anti-imperialism, state railways
or suppression of the liquor traffic
seems to be the chief cause of his
trouble. He can't sit still. He will
not stay put If today he sees the
millennium with a milled edge and
figure of Richard p. Bland de-
scending in glory from the clouds,
tomorrow it will wear the aspect of
an empty demijohn, accompanied by
a vision of John B. Cough. Natur-
ally this has bred distrust. The doc
tor who prescribes herring on his
first visit, earmuffs on his second,
firecrackers on his third, and a
Chautauqua course on his next as a
cure for warts is likely to lose the
confidence of his patient and may
get kicked downstairs. This is ex-
actly what has happened to Mr..
Bryan. He has hunted up para
mount issues for the Democratic
party for nearly a score of years,
He has changed his policies almost
as often as his necktie. And at the
last shift the disgusted Democrats
threw him overheard.
Now comes the saddest part of
the tale. This political Jonah can
find no abiding place. The Prohibi-
ton whale has refused TO swallow
him. AS Mr.. Bryan's last political

Our Democratic friends profess
considerable Joy because of the ap-

above Colonel Roosevelt for chair
