1 ear True Democrat :
After an all-day trip, from 6 a. in.
0 to 5 p. m. via the N. O. & N. W. &
V. S. & P.,Ifrowu Natchez you arrive
at Rustot, .and IJl.en att.er a drive of
two mitles at the Chatatiqnua. About
3 Itours of the trip is spent in wait.
ilug at Rayille for the west bounrl
train on the V. S. & P. Ont finding
that he was doomed to spend su ich
, long time in weary waiting one
of my fellow-travellers stal ted out
to find conisolation andl iueidoettalily
to wash dowi the dust of travel.
Fate was aga ii against hinm, fo.t
before he head gone to the edge of
the station plahtfotoi, he leariedh
that "loeal option" has passed
through lRayvill, aind the town was
"dry." IIe was refe:'red for con
solattion to The town pulmp which
stood in the open in the center of
town. As lie quaced its cooling
waters, I doubt niot but he called
to mjiid the lesson. in his school
reader where the town pump.des
cants so eloquently on thile princi
ples 4of templerantce. Later, for
consistentcy's sake, he maniaged to
fitid sotIme pop, andtl the town will
be remntelbered as the "water-pops
town, a name bestowedliy him.
Tie same fate awaited himtuat Lus
ton, for he was informed alter con
fideantial inquiries of "Henry I," the
head waiter of his hotel, that the
town was a "bition" townl. Driven
to despair l he learned to drown his
sorrow in copious draughts from the
Pierian springs.
Ituston is a thtriving little town,
and its wide streets bordered with
shade trees, anid lied iith pretty
commodious cottages presents a
charming picture to the passing
wayfarer,
Bantthe greatest attraction of all
,is the Chiatanquna amoing the pines
away from the bustle and dwist of
the city, with its shady groves and
walks teioptitng the sojourners to
rest, and with its halls and audito
rium offerQing to the mindt illellec
toal recreation.
There are two hotels on the
gr'ounds, the Chatauqua and the
Beech, tiarge and roomy, and both
filled with guests, principally teach
ers, who are in attendatme on t'he'
classes which are the main feature
of the Chatauqua. The riitio of the
schoolmistress to schoolmaster was
greater, than 16 to 1, and .in the
mornling coolness and in t.heeveniug
shades 'you can see themn ,hlitting
atontg the pines, grouping ott the
terraces and around the springs or
assembled oIL thle galleries of the
hotels.
There are three springs, Shaldow

a local government would give tlhe
necessary security, and we should
have no share in political struggles
there. It nmay be tlt.t tlhe proviso
is no. s;atisfed, or soon will not be.
Here is a case, t'en, which illus
trates the fiact that States are often
forced to extend their jurisdiction
whether they want to do so or not.
Civilized States are forced to super
cede the local jurisdiction ot nluciv
ilizCd or half-civilized ,8t~tes in. or
der to police the territory, and es
tablish the necessary guarantee oT
industry and commerce. JIt is idle
to set up absolute doctrines of na
tional ownership in the soil which
would justily a group of population
in spoiliug a part of the earth's sur
,t~ce for themselves and eveiybody
else.
The Island of Cuba may fall ilto
anarchy. If it does the ,.ivilized
world may look to the Uni.ted States
to take the jurisdiction and estab
lish order and security there. We
might be compelled to do it. It
would however, be a great burden
and possibly it fatal calamity to us.
Probably any p',opositiou that Eng
hand should. take it would call out
