TAYLoR's ELECTION.

| Certainly the most remarkable and
altogether sensational development OF
/ Tennessee politics of the past two
years occurred on Tuesday when Tom
Taylor, a Republican, was elected
State Treasurer by the vote OF the
straight" dyed in the wool, "regu-
lar" Democrats of the Legislature.
And this is strong statement in view
of the unusual and remarkable events
that have taken place in the politics
of Tennessee these two years. That
the regular Democrats, to whom
the scratching of nominee is high
treason and a Republican Is the most
odious individual upon earth. should
deliberately elect a Republican to one
of the highest and most important Of
fees in the State is certainly a sur
prising result. 1t shows that after
all one faction cares no more for party
fealty than the other; the so-called
regulars" have no more devotion for
Democracy, less in fact than the In
dependents who have been read out
of the party.
OF course it was the right and the
privilege Of the regulars" to vote
for a Republican for Treasurer. II
they believed that the Republican can
didate was an ADLER, a better and a
truer man than his Democratic op-
ponent they showed high copcep-
ton of their official duty in voting for
him. But If they voted ior the Repub-
lican merely for factional advantage
and to punish a courageous, incor-
ruptible and faithful public servant,
as seems to be the case, their conduct !
cannot be too severely criticised.
And there is little doubt that the cleo !
lion Of Taylor was inspired alone by
,hese considerations. Hence how ut |
.erly absurd then are all the profess j
,ions of party fealty and nominee
oyalty that we have heard during the
past two years from the so-called reg !
liars. They had a thousand dying
luck fits whenever a Democrat init
mated that he would vote for the Re-
publican candidate for Governor in
tead of the Patterson nominee but
hey deliberately elect Republican !,

more regard for their fitness for oflice

DR.. J. p. Kanoky Of Kansas City Pre-

DIR. ]. p. Kanoky of Kansas City, Mo-.
stopping at the New Willard, is an en-
thusiastic Champ Clark booster. He re-
ports that IS per cent Of the Missouri
democrats and goodly majority Of those
of surrounding states look upon the
Speaker as the natural leader of the
party in the coming campaign.
Mr. Clark" said DR.. Kanoky, lis the
victorious general who led us to success
last November. 1t was not Dix who car
ried New York, nor Foss who carried
Massachusetts,. nor Baldwin who won
Connecticut, nor Harmon in Ohio, nor
Wilson In New Jersey, nor Plaisted in
Maine; they were beneficiaries of the
fight made by Clark and his solid demo-
cratic following in the House. aided by
several insurgent senators and repre-
sentatives.
These governors are a fine bunch of
democrats, but they have to thank Clark.
Underwood and the other House demo-
Gratis for their jobs None Of them are
national leaders such as Bryan and
Clark.
Mr. Bryan does not seek the nomina-
tion and Mr.. Clark Is not a candidate.
but his boom goes marching on. Nothing
can keep him from landing In the White
House.

everywhere I go: he has q following in
every nook and corner Of the country"

HOKE SMITH WILL enter
RACE FOR THE SENATE
Formal Announcement to Be Made
Following Inauguration as
Governor.

ATLANTA, Ga, june 3O.-"After / am
inaugurated governor I shall announce as
candidate for the United States Sen
ate" This statement is said to have been
made by Gov. -elect Hoke Smith to MEM
bers Of the Inauguration committee. and
1t is believed 1t will in great measure
clear the senatorial situation, which for
several days past has threatened to re-
suit in a deadlock in the legislature.
Friends and supporters Of those candi-
dates who are opposed to Mr.. Smith and
who favor a senatorial primary for the
selection of the successor to the late
Senator Clay held meeting last night
and adopted resolutions calling upon the
legislature to provide for a senatorial
primary and favoring those candidates
who haze announced themselves as sup
porting this method of election. These
candidates are Senator J. NJ. Terrell, p.
A. Stovall Of Savannah. Judge w. A. Cow
ington and 8. G.. McLendon. Reports
that this movement was headed by
Thomas e. Watson, erstwhile populist
leader. was denied by representatives Of
these candidates

general of South Carolina, was accorded
the honor of the freedom Of the chamber

Cure for Suakebite.

David G. Baillie, who never puts on
paper anything he isn't sure he knows
has an admirable story Of the life OF
The Desert Miner" as it really is in
our next Sunday Magazine. 1t IL some
what Surprising when he says:
"Permanganate Of potash. not whisky.
is the remedy for snakebite. No yarn
has done more harm than the yarn of the
whisky cure. There is nothing worse
for snakebite than alcohol in any form.
If a man who has been sEakebitten
wishes to develop a severe case Of poison
ing, let him drink whisky. Its erect is
frightful. 1t excites the heart and drives
the poison through the system. l have
been unable to trace the origin of the
wild story that whisky cures snakebite.
1t sounds as II it might have been some
body's Joke, to begin with. but, il 1t
was intended as joke. 1t has been a
costly one to human life. Perman-
ganate of potash cures all kinds of poison
bites: and the desert miner Is exposed
not only to risk Of snakebite, but to at
lacks by scorpions, tarantulas. centipedes
and hydrophobia skunks." This ought to
be enough to make you read Mr.. Baillie' s
article, for 1t is full of really valuable
information.

LOW RAILROAD RATES
PERIL IN RECIPROCITY
Senator Cummins Shows How
Canada Might Monopolize
American Markets.

The possibility Of manipulation OF in
ternational railway rates so as to give
Canada a monopoly of many American
markets under the reciprocity treaty was
emphasized in the Senate today by Sena-
tor Cummins. who resumed his speech
gainst the agreement.
Senator Cummins said he had called the
attention of 1.-THE men who are RESPONSE
HE for the making of this agreement to
the railroad rate danger.
Il think am violating no confidence,
said Senator Cummins, when I say I
was assured that somehow. some time.
somewhere. a treaty would be made with
canada that would organize a tribunal
that might review international rates, and
that through that tribunal we might re-
ceive Justice"
Senator Cummins proposed an amend
rnent in substance as follows: That
whenever Canadian roads made an un-
reasonably low rate to get Canadian pro-
duce into the American market the Presi-
dent should have power to restore the
general tariff duties to the articles on
which such rates are made.
With the duties off. said Senator Cum
Minis the Canadian roads could. by ex-
tremely low rates. practically monopolize
the American markets.
Senator Cummins reviewed his amend
ments putting lumber. coal, flour. meats
and other things on the free list.

BIG TURTLE ATTACKS
BALTIMORE POLICEMAN
Snapper" Weighs Thirty Pounds
and Measures Twenty-Three
Feet From Tip to Tip.

BALTIMORE, June 30.-Police Lieut..
Albert League Of the southern district
was attacked by q big turtle which he
accidentally stumbled over at the corner
Of Sharp and Barre streets at dawn yes
terday morning. He was walking to the
car line en- route to his home in Forest
Park at the time. He was taken by sur
prise at the sudden attack and endeay-
ored to ward of the enemy by volley OF
kicks. The enraged turtle obtained q
hold on the right leg OF the lieutenant's
trousers, ripping them to shreds.
Fearing the snapper" would sink its
beak into his ankle. the lieutenant drew
his gun and hit il smashing blow on
the head with the butt end Of the weapon.
The turtle released it's hold. but just as
the lieutenant was about to put the
snapper on its back by the adroit use
Of his left foot. it fastened itself on him
again. biting into the leather OF his shoe.
Again Lieut.. League brought his six
shooter into play. striking the turtle on
Then like q projectile from q big. gun
the lieutenant's right foot shot out huri-
ing the turtle on its back.
At the corner where the encounter &C.
CURED there is an empty house with an
open cellar way. The keen eye of the
sleuth fell on an old coal sack hanging
over the door. Quick as q flash the lieu
tenant grasped the sack and threw II
over his enemy before the latter could
defend itself. Running to the patrol box,
square down the street, Lieut.. League
summoned the southern district auto
patrol. in which the snapper was taken
to the southern police station. where 1t
was charged with assaulting and striking
an officer OF the law. The turtle il lodged
in cell %. awaiting ownership. 1t weighs
thirty pounds and measures twenty-three
feet from tip to tip. 1t Is thought that IT
may have escaped from a steamer on
Light street wharf, or that II is the prop
erty OF a South Charles street compis-
sion merchant.
