from arrest for violating the law, he
would still be subject to the tax and
its collection by revenue agent who
might live two hundred miles away
and not under the control of city ma.
chine. 1t is not only reported that the
agreement has been reached to pass
such law, but such bill has already
been introduced. If this deal has been
made it will manifest itself soon. Such
a bill must not receive the sanction of
men who profess temperance on the
ground that the cause of temperance
will be promoted thereby. If such q
bill has merit, let it be passed upon
that merit and if it be the price of a
deal, let those who got the fruits of the
deal stand in the open and accept full
responsibility. If men have stopped
to conquer, it shall not be concealed
from the people.

The attempt to raise the price for
feeding prisoners in the county jails
from 40 to so cents day is species of
graft only exceeded by the proposed
ship subsidy steal. Prisoners are only
fed two meals a day and the bill of
fare is not noted for its variety. In
fact, it's as plain and simple as it dare
be, and the price paid by the county
is 40 cents a day, 20 cents meal, and
has been for years. In fact, this has
been the greatest source or revenue the
sheriff receives. Compare this price
with what it costs per head to furnish
food for your family with greater va
riety of higher priced edibles. Where
is there a family of ten that spends 81
per day for food2 AS matter of fact
there are lots of restaurants thatsupplyl
a splendid meal for Is cents, and the
prevailing price for table board through
out this section for laboring men is
$3.50 a week, three meals each day.
The price now paid for feeding prison.
ers by the county is $3.50 week and
the price wanted by the sheriffs is 81. 20
a week. If this is not a case of graft
then we admit we have misunderstood
the meaning of the word. Gov. Patter-
son vetoed a bill increasing the price
to so cents day, and his message re-
turning the bill dealt with the question
in no uncertain terms. He held the
sheriffs were elected with knowledge
Of the price and could not now be heard
to complain. 1t remains to be seen
what Gov. Hooper will do.

Warrington, d. c., Jan. 81
Senator Bob Taylor has graduated
from the back to the front row of
the senate. The junior Tennessee
senator has drawn the seat formerly
occupied by SENATOR Oliver, of PEN
nyslvania, and is now an occupant

senate, facing Vice-President Sher-
man. On his left, his next door
is Senator Root, of New
York, while Senator Johnston, of
Alabama, sits to his right. Next
session Senator Taylor will be sur
rounded by democrats, for the big
of new democratic senators
will force the present overflow of re-
publicans to the republican side of
the chamber.

Mr.. Burbage represents the three coun
ties of Washington, Unicoi and Greene
in the lower branch of the Legislature
at Nashville, and was elected on the
platform protesting against the use Of
passes by public officials, and promis-
ing most solemnly that if elected he
would assist in passing law to pro-
hibit the use of passes by public off.
cials, and promising most solemuly
that if elected he would assist in pass
ing law to prohibit the use of the
same by officials of all classes. Mr..
Butler, the senator from the First sem
atorial district, is likewise pledged.
Mr.. Reeves, who represents Washing
ton county, is indirectly pledged to the
same effect, if not directly, because the
independent democrats endorsed the
candidacy and platform of Governor
Hooper, and Mr.. Reeves is affiliating |
with the republicans at Nashville The
Comet, therefore, desires to PROFOUND
to these gentlemen, and each of them,
The following inquiries
Did you at the time of your nomina
Jon or during your candidacy freely
subscribe to these issues, or did you do
10 from the teeth out with well fixed
mental reservation on the subject?
Did you receive apass from any of
he railroads in Tennessee after your
lection, and did you accept the same
md have you used them since your
lection, and in going over to Nash
lille to attend the legislature?
If you ran on a platform opposing
'asses, and yet accepted such after cleo
ion, have you changed your opinion
n the subject, and what do you pro-
'ose to do about it?
Do you believe a judge should SIT in
Judgment on poor mans case against
railroad with pass deep down in his
'ocket over that railroad and do you
elieve that such condition promotes
lstice?
When we hear from you on these
'oints we will have more to say.

REV. 0. R. TARWATER
BREACHES ABLE SERMON

The Gospel of the Second
Chance" was the theme of a great
sermon delivered by Rev. o. R.
Tarwater at the Methodist Epis-
copal church Sunday night. 1t
was a timely theme and master
full discourse. The speaker point
ed out the uncertainty of business
success and the weakness of the
strongest reputation, and he
showed how often the gospel of
the second chance is the only star
of hope and ray of light that cruel
destiny has not blotted out. He
showed how quickly the world
condems, forsakes and ostracised
the unsuccessful man or the fallen
woman, and loath we are to again
receive the man of reverses or to
trust the unfortunate woman, but
this, the speaker showed, is not
the spirit of the man of Galilee.
The speaker painted the touch
ing scene of the woman at the
we'll, and he told the solemn story
of Mary at the Cross.
1t was a great sermon, it will
live long and accomplish much.

ABOUT 800 MEN DROPPED
Order of Postmaster General
Hitchcock Will Become Ef
fective Early IN February.

Bristol, Jan. 80. Several of >the
mail clerks on the Bristol and Chat.
tanooga run who will lose their
present positions under the order OF
Postmaster-General Hitchcock
which takes effect in February; are
understood to have already resigned,
effective February 1, before the
time fixed for putting the new order
into effect. 1t seems that some of
the seven men who will lose their
positions outright are not hopeful of
being kept in the service, though
they are entitled to vacancies as
they may occur and have resigned to
enter other business.
1t is said that 600 mail clerks
throughout the country will lose
their positions outright as a result OF
the order that the average time put
in daily by the clerks, including the
layoff, shall be six and one half
hours.
One of the complaints of the
clerks is that when they work on a
fast train, where the work must
necessarily be done much more rap
idly, that they are compelled to
work as many hours as though they
were on a local train where the
work amounts to much less.

THEY STOOP TO CONQUER

A victory may we'll be measured by
the price paid, or agreed to be paid. AT
first blush it seemed that Hon. Luke
Lee had achieved signal victory over
at Nashville when he was elected
United States senator to succeed Sena-
tor Frazier. But rumors are thick and
fast that the price he paid may rob the
incident of many of the elements of
victory, especially from the standpoint
of such high professions.
1t is well known that Senator Lea
owes his election to the votes of regu-
lars from Memphis, and that Mayor
Crump was a party to the compact and
acted as the factor through whom the
regulars were delivered into the column
of Senator Lea. Memphis above all
the cities of Tennessee had been herald
ed as the wickedest, the home of open
saloon, the one spot where the prohib-
itory laws could not be enforced. 1t
was the one precinct which, according
to the Tennessean, the private organ
of Senator Lea, constituted black
blotch upon the map, doubly damned
because it was also the home of Cover
nor Patterson. With this before us,
let us be fair, let us be honest, let us
be frank. If Memphis is or has been
the wicked city these patriots have
represented it to be,-if the laws have
been set at naught and the saloon door
permitted to stand wide open as they
have charged, all because officials re-
fused to enforce the law, may we not,
according to this logic, be permitted to
assume that in part at least it must
be attributable TO the sins either of
omission or commission of Mayor
Crump. He IS the official head of the
city, the responsible official. The ques-
ton therefore presents itself what con-
cession did Senator Lea and company
make to Mayor Crump by virtue
whereof he threw votes enough to elect
Senator Lea. 1t is reported that Mayor
Crump was in Nashville in conference
with Lea, Sanders, Sells and their
combine, and that there the agreement
was reached that he should deliver
regular votes to the combine sufficient
to elect Senator Lea. Where did the
Mayor come in, and what is behind
the scenes? Turn on the light and let
the people know the secrets of the mid
night caucus.
The Comet does not know absolutely
what the facts are, but there are ru-
mors flying thick and fast which throw
a flood of light upon the subject; and,
If true, lay bare unparalleled hypoc-
risy in political life, the worst form of
false pretence. 1t is reported that an
agreement was reached that at the
present session law was to be passed
repeating the state and county tax
against selling whisky, which has been
something like five hundred dollars, or
more, per annum. This tax has been
allowed to stand Notwithstanding that
whisky could not be sold at all. The
Supreme Court has said that although
no man could sell legally by virtue of
such tax il he paid it, still, if he sold
without il the tax could be collected.
In other words, this tax has stood as
terrifying sword over the heads of men
who have money and property to pre-
vent them from going into the whisky
business in violation of law. If
whisky man could make terms in a
aty whereby he could be protected
