rish Bones KIM an EIeubapt.

Although provided with intestine
organs equal to a feed cutter, it has
been demonstrated that an elephant
cannot digest everything. The African
female elephant that died at the Zoolog-
ical garden, Philadelphia last week
was dissected by DR.. Chapman, who
found in her stomach q rare collection
of sticks, pebbles, ash bones, etc., that
had evidently been presented to her by
an admiring public OIL the Fourth Of
July. This will be used probably here
after as an argument why Independence
Day should be abolished. In the mean
while the keeper of the Zoo will pre-
sent a quarter section of shoe-leather
or a handsome, stout club to any visit
tor found feeding the elephant with
ish-bones, sticks, pebbles or any other
light diet. This was a young beast,
and is mourned by its next best friend,
the male African elephant, and the nu-
nervous stockholders of the garden.
A sprightly. sportive beast was this.

at the hands of his assassin. But they
forget, or at least ignore the fact, that
until Dixon joined the independent

democrats. and one of the most prominent
and popular in that section of the state

cut loose from the democratic party there
was 10 man in Iazoo county who stood

THE HIGHEST DETELOP-
MENT.

The Philadelphia Times is an "inde-
pendent paper which stands up so
straight as to lean backward, and "hard-
ly ever SAYS word favorable to the re-
publicans But The Times cannot stom-
ach the dose prepared by the 4azoo dem
Gratis, and speaks out as follows: "The
Mississippi plan seems to have reached
its highest stage of development. 1t be-
gan with bulldozing people who propos-
ed to support anti-democratic candidates,
50 that they would not 60 to the polls; it
advanced to stuffing the ballot-boxes with
democratic tickets in case the bulldozing
didn't keep the opposition from voting
and now it dispenses with bulldozing and
ballot-boS stuffing by killing off the OPP
position candidates, and SO leaving no
body but the regular democratic candi-
dates to be elected"
Per contra, The Columbus Democrat
central organ of the Ohio democracy
has this double loaded comment on the
Yazoo outrage:
eve say that the action of the Yazoo people in
the case of H. N. Dixon was right and perfectly
justitiable. He tried to stir up a war of races,
and incite the negroes to insurrection and riot
His independent candidacy has turned out an
attempt to incite riot and provoke bloodshed land
the intimidation on the part of the people there
against imminent and deadly peril melted by a
desperate william whom a righteous retributon
has finally overtaken."
This is the most unequivocal endorse
ment of the Mississippi plan we have yet
seen, and betrays a degree of servi-
lily that is positively degrading. How
ever, it is often found in northern demo-
cratic papers which seem to delight in
showing which can excel in that peculiar
kind of dirty work
In marked contrast with Ithe article
above quoted from The Columbus Jour
nal is the following from The Nicksburg,
Miss, Herald, democratic:
BulldoZmg has borne Its legitimate frult. Yes
terday in Yazoo county Henry Dixon was shot to
death. Twist ii as we may, this terrible deed,
which leaves a widow and fatheress children to
hfe'S stern struggle. was brought about by intol-
erance III politics We are not in possession of
the particulars of the deed but the circumstan-
that led to it are known, and they warrant
Us that the days of the democratic party in Miss
issippi are numbered, unless its leaders at once
meet the responsibility that rests on them. The
white voters OF Mississippi must by their course
make future affairs of this kind an impossbility.
The silent powerful ballot is the court that must
try this fearful evil of bulldozing, and pass
tence on it by sweeping its advocates from all
the channels that lead to power.

SHOULD Mr.. Charles F. Krebs receive
the democratic nomination for clerk Of
the court IN this county, as he probably
Will, and should he be defeated, as he is
very likely to be, he should beware of the
advice given him by his s'fool friends
who tell him to ''stick' in other words
to not give up the Office, on the theory
that his term does not expire until next
year. Should he be foolish enough to
refuse to act on the suggestion here given
he will find that he will not only lose
his office in the end, but have a hand
soHie bill OF costs to pay besides. There
can be no question that the term for
which he was elected ends December
aIst and that his successor must be cbo-
Sci In November. Mr.. Krebs will act
wisely if he accepts this view of the case
and declines to put his foot in by trying
to play the game of ''heads I win, tails

TIE OHIO CAMPAIGN.

The New York Tribune has this to say
OF the democratic campaign in Ohio:
"John G. Thomson and chairman McI<in-
ney have got back to Ohio well supplied
with campaign funds. Thompson has
the bulk of the money, and is to dis
burse it in the doubtful legislative dis
tricts, while Mckinney will use his por-
ton in trying to pull the state ticket out
of the slough into which it has fallen.
No denial is made of the story that Til
den and his friends have come to the re-
lief of the Ohio democrats in their need
and that a Tilden-Ewing coalition has
been formed. The democratic leaders
outside Of Ohio have evidently become
alarmed at the desperate condition of
their party In that state, and foreseeing
the disastrous effects of a defeat there
upon the contest next year, have "come
down. handsomely. The republican pa
pers are warming the party to beware of
colonization in the close districts, and to
keep close watch upon the tactics of
their opponent" The republican can
vass is progressing finely, and there is
every prospect that we shall carry the
state by handsome majority, The par
ty was never more thoroughly united

basket for that excursion to New Orleans.

amusement than he anticipated. The
approaching election and the recent shoot
ing of a conspicuous friend of labor, will
no doubt infame the imaginations of al
legged workingmen so that Mr.. Wright

Capt. Henry NJ. Dixon.

Presented to him by his democratic fellow-citi-
zens of 1azoo county as q humble testimonial OF
their high appreciation of his brilliant services
In the redemption of the county from radical
ru lie in 1875.
If these papers which are now defam-
ing him can tell what Dixon had done,
besides abandoning the democratic party,
to call down upon his head its maledic-
lions, will they please do so? But this
they cannot do, and any unprecedented
man can see that Dixon was killed simply
to rid the democratic party of a dangerous
and influential opponent.
