honor to our editorials. They take
stealing is just the same—our articles

Mr. H. P, Beeman died at the
home of his father, Ex-Congressman
Beeman, at Morton, Miss., last Fri
day. Mr. Beeman founded the Pass
Christian Coast Beacon some twelve
years ago, but owing to ill health re
tired from editorial labors in 1890.
He leaves a widow and two children.
A contemporary very truthfully
says; A great deal of discomfort
arises from what people may say
about you or your actions. Many
unhappy persons seem to imagine
that they are in an amphitheatre,
with the assembled world as specta

empty houses.
The J. T. Liddle Lumber Company
has completed arrangements for
building a logging railroad to furnish
timber for their mills at Ilandsboro,
The road will start from Old River
lake, below the Morris mill on Tchou

ly direction. When completed it
will be about ten miles lon^

Mississippi City has gone dry. In
telligence from that place says: Mis
sissippi City has fallen into the line
of the dry towns of the State. The
last beer license expired on Satur
day, the liquor licenses have expired
some agr. An application for license
to retail here was defeated by par
ties not living in this vicinity.
“Can yen tell me what kind of
weather we may have here next
month?” wrote a farmer to the edi
tor of his home paper. The editor
jeplied: “It is my belief that the
weather next month will be like your
subscription bill.” The farmer won
dered an hour what the editor was
driving at, when he happened to
think of the word “unsettled.” He
sent a postal note.
DO WE WANT HAWAII?
The Hawaiian annexation continues
to occupy the minds of our people,
aud lias become of universal interest.
The Echo Las taken a deep inter
est in this vital question but has
kept silent, watching for definite de
velopments. It has never been the
policy of the United States to annex
territory, and it is doubtful whether
wehave a constitutional right to do so.
The theory of our government is that
the people are the rulers, and if the
people of one part of our possessions,
then the people of all parts.
Those territories which have been
annexed by purchase, as in the case
of our sister State, Louisiana, or by
conquest, as in the case of Texas,
were peopled by those who it was
reasonable to suppose would, in time,
become suitable citizens of our Re
public—‘hat is, fit for rulers —for
here every man is a King and every
woman a Queen.
In the cases cited, the countries
adjoined ours and were sure to be
come further peopled to a large ex
tent, from the over plus of our own
intelligent and civilized population.
But Hawaii possesses none of these
attractions to us—her people, outside
of a handful of American, English
and German residents—are in a semi
barbarous state. Po we want them
for rulers? Then again, the Chi
nese coolies make up a large class of
her population. We have been try
ing to purge ourselves of the Chi
neese. We have forever abolished
slavery of all kinds. Now, if we
take Hawaii, what are we to do with
the Chinese slaves? That is really
what they are. Do you want them
or their children for rulers?
Is there any advantage to be gain
ed by annexing Hawaii, that would
not be gained by a treaty granting
that country protection, and receiv
ing in return a permanent coaling
station for our navy and such other
concessions as we might reasonably
expect? We think not. We cannot
unload our surplus population upon
these volcanic islands, hundreds of
miles away. True, these islands of
fer great inducements to capitalists,
especially if they are allowed the
coolie (or any other kind of) slavery
there. But is it not contrary to our
theory of government, and to our in
stincts as a people, to engage in
making private fortunes with the re
sources of the government?
The Echo has stated facts, very
crudely, it is true, and doubtless
when our level headed President’s
Commissioners return from their ex
amination of affairs in the Sandwich
Islands, these facts will be modified
to a considerable extent, still the
Democratic theory of our govern
ment cannot be gainsaid: the peo
ple are the rulers. Mr. Harrison, in
his head-long haste to annex Hawaii,
seems to have forgotten this fact, as
well as some of the international law
upon which he is now posing.
We do not want Hawaii.
81-ME TALISM.
There is a movement in the United
States Senate in favor of re-assem
bling of the Brussels Congress, and
it is said that Senator Alliston, of
lowa, is expected to lead off in a re
quest to the President to take action
for the re-assemblage of this confer
ence. It seems to us that the fail
ure last year to come to any conclu
sion, of any benefit to anybody,
would only be repeated if these finan
cial solons were again called togeth
er; but perhaps the silver people
would feel better if another attempt
is made in this direction and we do
not likely to do any harm. An exr
change of ours very tritely says:
1 The Brussels conference is dead.
It may possibly be galvanized into a
gcmblance of life, but the vital spark
's gone. And yet we hold that, if
the Senate should ask President
Cleveland to take action for its re
newal, he would be justified in doing
so. It is like asking him to send
the delegates to a wake; but unless
that is done, the silverites will claim
that the corpse was not dead. The
claim will be made so brazenly and
persistently that it will find believers
in a widening circle. The bonanza
advocates are master hands at build
ing a lofty of falsehood
upon the slightest foundation of fact.
Improvements continue ,in all of
the Gulf coast towns.
CLEAN UP.
Public health demands that the at
mosphere the people breathe be pure,
and common decency demands that
our town be placed in a proper sani
tary condition—cleanliness is di
sease’s deadliest foe—so we urge
that our people begin at once to pre
pare for the coming season, wlpch
promises to be very warm and con
ducive to the germination of disease.
You must clean up.—Carrollton Con
servative
The above timely advice is appli
cable not only to Carrollton but to
Bay St. Louis and every other com
munity as well. The cholera’s com
ing is not only possible but very pro
brable, and its violence will be
doubly to that of last year, “Clean
liness is disease’s deadliest foe,” so
much truth does this envolve that it
should be studied and practiced to
the fullest extent. Our lovely coast
city must enjoy good sanitation to
insure public health. It would prove
prudent for the local Boards of
Health of every community to pay
immediate attention.
Biloxi’s Bank Business.
The following, taken from the Bi
loxi Herald , shows how well the new
Biloxi bank is doing;
The bank of Biloxi yesterday
closed its first month’s business with
the most gratifying results to the
stockholders. The deposits amount
ing to $26,000 in round numbers and
the other business of the bank being
considerably ahead of what was ex
pected of the most sanguine.
Mr. O. M. Nilson, to whose efforts
our citizens are indebted more to any
other man for the organization of the
bank, has been in Biloxi during the
week and expressed himself as being
much surprised at the volume of busi
ness being done by the new institu
tion.
Those who were so fortunate as to
take stock in the Bank of Biloxi are
now congratulating themselves that
that they did so, and while there is a
demand for more slock tnere is none
being offered for sale.
In a shoit while the bank will pur
chase a lot in the business centre of
the town on which will be erected a
handsome brick building, with all
modern conveniences, costing about
SSOOO.

When The Echo scribe first met

A Florida man selected a most
firightful but efficacious method of
suicide. He was employed in a saw
mill, and, when be thought it was
lime to end Ins dreary existence, he
threw himself on the log which was
being carried to the saw, grasped the
log firmly and the work was done—
he was cut into two parts.
‘What is that, mother!’ ‘An editor, son.
Some folks seem to think he lias gold by
the ton ; but listen, my child, and don’t
give it away, ho works like a horse for a
dollar a day. He sets at bis case till he
wears out his eyes, and he tries writing
copy to keep off the flies; in the summer
'tis flies, and in winter ’lis chills, and his
creditors cheerfully send in their bills.
But, alas I Ho is mortal, this editor man,

are not.”

Dear Mike, old boy:
I have bin wantin’ to write you
fur some time, but cirkumstances
wuz so as to prevent my so doing. I
reached the Bay yesterday morriin’
by way of the G. O. P. (gel out abd
push) route, my old war mule>
Becky, havin’ er powerful case of
hind leg rumatism, but I’se ’spent to
use some of that rumatism medi
cine I’se seed talked about in The
Echo.
Would yez believe it, Mike, I never
seed so many nice things and never
wuz my eyes so dazzled till last night
when I went to one of those er Bay
dances. You talk ’bout the Yeller
Hill school creek dance? why, its
left in an oak tree shade when put
’long side of this one. When I ar
rived here,my first pleasure wuz to be
“held up” by over a half dozen of
ladies, all havin’ some dance cards
fot sale. After some powerful talk
I wuz “taken in” and gave one dol
ler's worth of sweet’taters and a gal
lon. of hor.’y fur a tiket —yes, fur
one tiket and found out it wuz only
worth a half doller milkin’ stool.
I wuz always readin’ ’bout that er
big dance and never ’spected to go,
but when I got my dance card I wuz
sure to go, so it tvuz now left fur me
to get a nice new stilish pair 60 cent
shoes, er pair blue jeans and a nice
green flannel shirt with a yeller silk
tie, and by The Echo I seed where
a place called the Welcome Store
where nice clolhin’ could be bought
ulmost fur nuthrn’. When I got my
putty riggin’ it wuz time fur me to
be gettin’ down to the dance as it
wuz goin’ on to 5 o’clock.
When I reached the place what
they called a dancing hall; it wuz 6
o’clock and no one wuz yet there.
The folks have a kind of religion or
club they call society and this pre
vented the opening of the show until
8 o’clock. But when it wuz opened,
it wuz opened.
You know that nook up Hobolochit
to creek where wo once seed that gal
dressed in blue with a red gown?
well, that’s just how that hull house
looked inside. There wuz real live
trees growing on the walls and all
over, and bless me not if this isn’t
the plain truth, but I seen graveyard
wreaths hangiu’ aroun’ They wuz
the same nice old wreath we seed on
graveyard day in November. But
Mike, the decorations —I think this
is what they called il—was more than
putty. t yumlhing ’bout the decora
tions that pleased me most wuz a
long string of green red bugs sus
pended from the four korners of the
ceiling. In one corner there wuz a
mosquito bar bangin’ with paper bag
lanterns. I thought our merchant
Bill was enterprisin’ but I seed en
terprise that beat his. It wuz a pu
ty lady dishing out cold cream and
pieces of fine corn bread covered
with a coat of white wash, they call
ed it cake. This putty lady made
everybody buy, and I think she did
a land office business.
Then right across there wuz the
serenade stand amidst a garde". I
had to come to Bay to see a wonder
—reel white, red and yeller roses
growing on all sides and on cedars.
Here was dished the serenade and it
seem strange how it could be so
sweet but I soon guessed it right.
There wuz two lovely ladies at this
stand and wuz their presence that
added the sweetness to those sour
little lemons. They did well and
got in all the nickles and dimes.
Talk ’bout music, Mike, well do
you know that it beat our Flint Creek
baud, j never seed such nice music
made with such instruments.
It wuz way late when they played
a song and 1 guessed no one knew
how lo danced fur the folks got up
and start walkin’ ’round and round
and round they went. But I soon
found out that they did this fur to
show their fineries fur they had a
right to do so. I seed all the gals
dressed like the fairies Grandma
Ilookenlankenberry tells ’bout; the
boys looked nice but the gals tc ok
me.
Tnere wuz some ladies an 1 mens
thefolas called floor managers. It
wuz a good idea for t e bosses to
have floor managers, for if that
floor would not had been mana ed
maybe it would had all came down.
That floor jest did shake and gave
’em work. Bless them for they all
knowed their business.
Then they wuz a kind ’e 'ception
committee to show the folks where
the dancin’ wuz. They wuz ribbon
on their coats to make ’em .look nice
as they did.
When they got ready to dance,
the hoys start wrltin’ some poetry
in books that wuz hanging ’round
the gals necks. The books had the
picture of a Bay (not bay color) gal
with yeller hair and a dress of red
like the skies are sum time, It wuz
a putty picture, but land sakes,
Mike, she forgot to put on her josy!
Well, the folks danced, danced
and danced and when I left at 2
o’clock they wuz stilt lookin’ lovely
and gallant and—dancing. I would
not venture to say if they have
yet stopped. Tim Flanigan.

Deaf for a Year
y. Caused by *
Catarrh in the Head\^
Catarrh is a Constitutional disease,
and requires a Constitutional Remedy
like Hood’s Sarsaparilla to cure it. Read:
“ Three years ago, as a result of catarrh, I
entirely lost my hearing and was deaf for more
than a year. I tried various things to cure it,
and had several physicians attempt It, but no
improvement was apparent. I could distin
guish no sound. I was intending putting
myself under the care of a specialist when
someone suggested that possibly Hood’s Sar
saparilla would do me some good. I began
taking it without the expectation of any lasnug
help. To my surprise and great joy 1 found
when I had taken three bottles that my hear
ing was returning. I kept on till I had
taken three more. It Is now over a year and I
can hear perfectly well. lam troubled but
very little with the catarrh. I consider this a
remarkable case, and cordially recommend
Hood’s Sarsaparilla
to all who have catarrh.” Herman Hicks, 30

From the Piney Woods
Of the North to the everglades of tho
South, druggists are beseigod by people
of every shade of rheumatism, inquiring
about Dr. Drummond’s Remedy. “Will
it cure raof” And the druggist points to
the fact that tho Drummond Medicine

a reward of 9500 for a case this re
medy will not cure. That kind of answer
is satisfying, and the sufferer planks
down five dollars and goes homo and is
