Address, , „ B WILSON, •Pril19 Fleming, Texas. The importation of sugar is assuming gigantic proprotions, in anticipation of a duty by the provisions of the Wi' son bill. China and Japan are at War with each other, and in a recent naval con flict a Chinese warship was sunk, kill ng about one hundred pig tails. A person may register at any time of the year, but ho is not allowed to vote in any election unless he has regis lered four months before such election takes place. The Black Death, the terrible plague of China, is raging in Canton and the city is thrown into a state of confusion. Fears are entertained that it will reach tilts country. -—.i- .. Of the long catalogue of the low down, despicable crimes a human be ing can be guilty, the most contempti bly base and vicious is house-burning and train-wrecking. Probably sozzling shirt collars and sticky shirts will have about as much to do in effecting a compromise in the strngg'.e over the tariff bill as any oth er influence. The heat at Washington this week has been well nigh unbeara j bio. Great forest fires are laying waste the Northern part of Wisconsin. The town of Phillips was burned last week with largo loss of life. The unfortu nate people, having no place to go. sougnt refuge in a luko, and many or them were drowned. The proceedings of the Mississippi Press Association, from the job rooms • of the Jackson Clarion-Ledger, is an l artistic specimen os jub work. The | Clarion-Ledger has a well equipped I office and should receive a gene ous patronage by the people of Mississippi. | Ono of the most remarkable an radi cal speeches over heard in the chamber | of the United States Senate wan that | delivered by Populist Senator PefTor.ol Kansas, on u resolution in regard tc ; the recent railway troubles. Ho mad« an attack on our system of govern ment thut was simply Infamou*. H< j wanted to abolish tho Senate, tb< House of Representatives tho general government, and entered a defense in favor of riots and lawbreakers. Snch sentiments were probably never be fore heard in the Senate chamber oven during the exciting times previous to tho civil war. Mississippi annually expands ovor ♦ 1 ,600,000 for educational purposes. This is doing more for a noble cuuse than the revenues of the State will al | low. Wo are spending more than we are collecting, and every day the State is going deeper and deeper in debt Two causes help to increase this in debtedness: the $300,000 deficit in the State treasury and the repairing and rebuilding of the lunnticasylum which was consumed by fire. It is incum bent on the next legislature to put somo check to the enormous expendi tures that are annually paid out of tho trousury. _ Chairman W ilson and the House conferees are not disposed to give up the fight; therefore a call is being cir culated for a caucus of the Democrats of the House, to be held if no agre - mont is reached on the tariff bill by Tuesday. It is believed that i*the con ferees will endeavor to reach an agree ment upon everything except the iron, sugar, and coal schedules of the bill before the caucus is held, and that chairman Wilson will then ask the caucus what shall be done about those schedules. It is, of course, impossi ble to say what action the caucus will take, but in view of the fact that the democrats of the House are practically unanimous in the opinion that a tariff bill must be passed at this session of Congress, and that a bill cannot be passed unless those schedules are ac cepted ia accordance with the demands of the Senate, it is believed that the caucus will instruct the conferees to agree, knowing that the responsibility has been placed, by President Cleve land's letter, where it belongs. A farmer came in town a few days ago day since driving a pair of Ml - souri mules hitched to an Illinois wag on with a set of Cincinnatti harness. After mortgaging his crop, etc., to buy some Kansas corn and Chicago bacon Louisann molassos and St, Louis soup he spent the balance of the day cursing the Democratic party for not doing something to help the farmer.—Co piah Signal. Those Special State Warrants. Gov, Stone, during his visit to Iuka | this week, had something to suv con cerning tho state warrant issue. As our readers are doubtless aware the legislature, under the constitution of 1890, is required to expend (923.000 per annum upon public schools. Last year it became very evident, on ac count of the great delieit and unexpec ted calls on the treasury, thut the state should issue warrants to the amount of (200,000 in face value of (3, (10 and bearing 3 per cent interest receivable for public debts and payable in Janua ry 1896. Accordingly the St. Louis Bank Note Company wns employed to offer designs and manufacture the war rants. It was of course supposed that the Bank Note company would submit nothing that is an infringementon the currency of the United States, nnd in themind of a great many impartial ex perts in atich matters they have done nothing of the kind. But to tho mind of Gen. lluzen, chief of the secret ser vice, the warrants are an infringe' mont, and it is for this reason that he has Interfered. Strange to say, this subordinate official of tho treasury de partment, Gen. Hazen, lias served n mandatory order upon the governor of a great commonwealth to stop him from executing the laws made by its legislature. Such action is without precedent and is an unwarranted in terference on the part of the Federal government in the affairs of a sover eign state. Gov. Stone has. of course. refused to comply with the order. It certainly is a ludicrous idea of Gen. Hiip.cn to charge a state with a breach of the law againstoounterfeitlng. Gov. Stone thinks that if there is any imita tion of the currency of the United States to bo found in the state war rants the St Louis Bank Note Compa ny is amenable for it There is no tell ing what will come of the entangle ment It may result in a legal contest between the federal and State authori ties. Whatever is done the people of of Mississippi are with Gov. Stune. iThey have unbounded confidence in his integrity and sound common sense, j In the meantime the warrants will re ' main In circulation and remain good I for the payment of public debts. Our people huve this much faith in the ! old time-tried doctrine of a state’s ! right to manage its own business with | out the impertinent interference of federal authority. A tragedy occurred at Coffeeville, Miss., last Friday. Willie Alexander, aged nine years, quarreled with the lit tle seven-year-old daughter of a Mr. Johnson, and became so violently en rsged at her that he shot her through tho body with a uistol, killing the lit tle girl instantly.—Natchez Democrat, After so much talk, whore is the man that is to be pitted against John Allen?

They have a novel method of killing crows in Georgia. Grains of corn are pierced nnd through them is inserted, the hair from the tail of a horse, these grains are scattered In the field where the crows are in the habit of coming. When the bird swallows one of those grains the horse's hair prevents it from passing into the craw and irri tates the mouth. The bird rolls over turns on its back and scratches to get it out,but to nopurpose. Death results either from Btrongulation or. as is fre quently the case, from the wounds in flicted by the sharp claws. The crows gather around the victim, but, al though they are of an exceedingly sus picious nature, they never attribute the trouble to the corn.— Exchange.

Then she discovered that she had dashed her own infant out of bed with such force that its skull was crushed. A Beautiful Passage. I cannot believe that earth ib man's abiding place. It cannot be that our life is cast up by the ocean of eternity to float upon its waves and then sink into nothingness, else why is it that the glorious aspirations which leap like angels from the templo of our hearts, are forever wandering about unsatisfied? Why is it that the rain bow and clouds come over us with a beauty that is not of earth and pass off and leave us to muBe on their faded loveliness? Why is it that the stars which hold their festival around the midnight throne are set above the grasp of our limited faculties, forever mocking us with their unapproachable glory? And finally, why is it thnt bright forms of human beauty arepre sented to our oyo and then tuken fron us, leaving the thousand streams ofaf fection to run back, in Alpine torrenis to the heart? We arc born for a high er destiny than that of earth. There is a realm where the rainbow fades, where stars will be spread out before us like islands that slumber on the ocean, and where beings that pass out before us like shadows shall stay’ in our presence forever.—Geo.

A Valuable Crop. It is said that the tea growing Indus try is likely to assume large propor tions and to he a valuah e addition to the sources of revenue in South Caro lina The Summerville plantation, under the charge of a Mr. Jackson, an expert tea grower from Assam is going into the business on a commercial scale. Mr. Jec:.son says ho can raise tea in South Carolina with ueg o labor cheaper than it can be raisod in Assam with coolie labor, as the negroes are much more rel able. Some of the tea raised on that plantation last year sold on its merits as high as $1 a pound, which shows that the product is of a first-class quail v. The state agricul tural college is trying to spread among the planters informat'on about lea cul ture and to interest them in .ho crop. The Picayune has on a previous Jocca sion called attention to this crop as one that could he raised with profit on the gulf coast.
