It is about time that they jiShould learn that those interests are ^absolutely identical with those of their katrons, the people. That petty trick Fery, chicanery, illegal pretenses to in crease the returns, hurt the corpora tion more than the puny additional in come will pay for. The time has not yet past since cor- j porations were placed on trial before | tbe bar of public opinion, and they I _ . , , , ,, , , I cannot afford to overlook or disdain the fact that, unless they obey the law j honestly, more stringent measures will fre adopted and enacted. The Cum perland Telephone Company will do I. wisely in admitting its errors and in i pnaking reparation. i | Duty of Democrats. The Daily News again calls atten tion to the fact that the good Demo crats of this community are each due the sum of |1 to the Bryan and Kern campaign fund.

Every good Democrat should be in sai' tensely interested in this campaign. The need of Democratic success is not only greater, but the prospects of vic tory are brighter than for many years. Hard fights must be made in some of th e doubtful states and the people -1 of the rock-ribbed, died-in-the-wool dis i tricts, like Mississippi, must furnish j the sinews of war. Send in your contribution and urge I your neighbor to do likewise. Let's help the campaign committee to put up | a stiff fight. If victory perches on our | banner in November, then we'll all be glad together. It' the ticket is defeated then we can at least soothe ourselves jin the consolation that we did the best we could. I It is a Democratic duty. | in A Sensible View. The President of the New Orleans j i Wholesale Grocers' Association, dis cussing the proposed raising of rail* _ ; road rates, said: ! 'The railroads have met with our commercial people and have promised them a 'square deal.' and we have been given their assurance that no discrim ination will be shown either in present advances or those to come. ! "This looks beautiful on the surface, but is in reality a waiver of the main issue—to raise or not to raise rates. "The railroad managers are in r j trenched behfnd the plea that higher rates will mean prosperity in every walk of life—a complete rejuvenatot | as it were—that everything springs j from the loins of the railroads, and once the coffers of the railroads are I replenished the car of commerce will resume her triumphant march, which has been somewhat interrupted by lack | : of the usual axel grease during the j past year." J. C. The speaker continues to refute the specious arguments upon the same I grounds discussed before in this pa j The proposed increase in rates ! per. will meet with universal opposition and must be rescinded. Xor will the law uphold it, if only because it is a sec j tional measure. The essence of the matter is that | the., he ra j] loafls Iook toward the people j re -] t0 furnish the funds vherewitfc to stop j the leak caused by peculation and in fl a ,i 0 n.—and the people | the purses of a few multi-millionaires. vill firmly de the inline to spend their money to replenish The railroads will find out the truth | t h a t "you can't fool all the people all | t he time." lit The city council can compel the 'Cumberland Telephone Company to re tund to the people of Hattiesburg the i mone y ^'hieh it has fleeced from the j pockets of the people by charging rent franchise restric- j | a ^ s excess of it j ti°ns, and the people of Hattiesburg j should urge the council to do its duty. \ ■ ; The Florida Times-Union calls atten-l* i ae Com-1 . , tion to the fact that fig trees are fre on , _ quently killed by cold weather in Fior- j ! .. ... .. ,, . | i tda while they thrive in Mississippi, < | i^ouisiana.

Croker, chief of the fire department, declared that the day of the passing of the steam fire engine is at baud. With only a limited number of pumps working at tbe two pumping stations that drive the water through the high pressure mains now embracing the area west of the Bowery and extending from Chambers street to Twenty-third street a supply of 18,000 gallons of water a minute was rendered available, direct from the high pressure hydrants, streams of water were thrown far above tbe roof of the twelve story build ing at Betbune and West streets. Within a few days, when the high pressure system formally is turned over for active service, it is believed that it will be possible to assail any big fire in the territory mentioned with sixty Une* of hose, all discharging water at a rate that would flood an ordinary city block six feet deep In half an hour.
