ELECTION FRAUDS.

plete probe of the election in David
son county. The recount of thu
/ vote in seven wards, one of them b,
the way one Of the so-called hest
wards of the city of Nashville, shows
that the election officers were guilty
of the grossest Irregularities, not tt
use a harsher and probably more ap
propriate term.
The revelation in the Nashville
vote will do much to restore the citi
zenship of the capital city to the
good opinion of the people of this
state. We had been so used to
Nashville and Davidson county civ
ing immense majorities to the Ii
quor and back tax machine and for
lawlessness and crime that we took
1t as matter of fact and attributed
1t to the low order of citizenship OF
that county. But the discovery of
frauds shows that after all the hearts
of the people of Nashville are in the
right place, but they have merely
been the victims of the lowest and
vilest of machine politicians and
political thugs who will hesitate at
nothing.
Upon a fair count it is probable
that McMillin's majority in Davidson
county will be much closer to 1000
than it was to $1,000 And we would
not be surprised in view of the dis
coveries just made that part or all
of the legislative ticket had not been
elected in the county.
The good people of Nashville are
themselves largely to blame for the
frauds from which they suffer. We
have no doubt that majority of the
election commissioners of that coun-
ty have diligently sought to appoint
good and honest men as election
officers in all the wards of the city.
1t is a difficult and well
nigh hopeless task to get your So
called upper case good citizen to take
any part in elections. In fact many
Of them have to be pulled to the
polls to vote. They turn over the
counting Of the ballots to the gang
that hesitates at nothing. While
they are wrapped in virtuous slumb-
er conscious of the fact that they
have not soiled their lily white
hands with the muck and mire of
politics the gang" is busy chang
ing election results in the interest Of
the machine ana the law defying
special interests. And then these
same exemplary (?) citizens have
the audacity TO complain of the char
acter of government that they are
geetting.

Swimmers the Prey Of EeIs.

A remarkable story of the seizure
of swimmers by eels comes from New
Zealand. A stream IN New Zealand

the current was swift and strong
Time after time the bather would :
gin to shrek and splash on the sur
face, would disappear before he ; could
reach him, and when his body had
been found it had invariably been eat
en- by eels. The cause of the fatality
remained shrouded in mystery, for a
long time, but at length the true cause
was discovered that whilst the swim
mer was almost stationary in the rapid
stream huge eel would seize him by
the foot or leg and drag him down be-
meath the surface.

chosen William Sulzer. He has been party man,

is always the debut of Diana Dill
pickles in some new sphere of en-
deavor. Miss Dillpickles has a
coming out party of this kind so
often that the public is becoming
really impatient to know why she
doesn't get married to some good
man and cut out this gay butterfly
existence. Honestly, dear people,
it isn't because she can't. She
breaks hearts every day, but her
own has never been dented. You
see, Diana is still on the south
side of 23, and will continue to
have adventures vibrant with the
righteousness of youth long after
some of her contemporary he
roines have entered the sere and
yellow-leaf and slammed the doc,
behind them.

NEW YORK, Oct. 14.-New

No such ailment has been pre-

look like a disease. The man
ayers were quite pleased at its
early stages. But they are not so

For many seasons the rule has
been that for every good show,
in new productions, there must be
many poor shows. This year, the
reverse seems to be the case. Hit
after hit has registered, with only
an occasional lemon. The thea

Hippodrome and the Winter Gar
den, with their big productions,
both doing nicely, thank you, and
dozen or more shows that are
getting along, although not big
successes, and you will begin to
see why the local managers are
worried.
There are theater-goers who
can afford to take in all the "good
shows" There are many, many
more who can only afford during
the season to see the plays that
are known as great big successes.
Generally, these are only half a
dozen, at most.
With such a crop as this years,
it looks like shorter runs for the
big successes than big successes
have previously had, and many
plays which in an ordinary season
would have ben heavy winners
may make little money.
And still they're building the
aters in this town, in which to
put still more shows and make
the competition keener!
