that it had been reduced during

department. The expenses had
been largely reduced and the
rate of taxation greatly dimin-

The Democrat Favored State

The Public printing had in

during the last year it only cost

When Mr.. Crum was y Green
hacker he favored o tariff for
revenue only but since Chal-
mers had changed, Mr. Crum
had changed with him. He
read . letter from Lynch in
which he Lynch stated that
Chalmers was without influence
and had no following.
The speaker then discussed at
some length the tariff question
and said that it would be the
leading issue next year in the
presidential contest. Every
body who buys anything feels
the burden of the protective
tariff. The average rate of du-
ties is forty Ave per cent and
the manufactures reap the prof

Gen. S. J. Gholson.

Gen. s. j. Gholson, a lead'r2
and prominent citizen of the
State for nearly a half century
died on the 10th inst, at his
residence in Aberdeen. He
had been in feble health for
many months and his death,
although a severe shock to his
friends, was not unexpected.
He was q man Of great force
of character and answering in-
tegrity. Whit he was not a
brilliant man he had a massive
intellect asd was always a forci-
bic and impressive speaker.
He was governed by his con
victions Of what was right and
never hssitated to express his
opinions boldly and fearlessly.
He was a staunch Democrat
but. dared to differ with his par
ty when he thought it was in the
wrong.
He was elected a member of
Congress in 1886 and was a can
didats for re slection in 1888
and received the Governors
certificate. His seat was con-
tested by the celebrated 8. s.
Prentiss who made the famous
speech that is familiar to every
school boy. Congress finally
refer cd the matter back to the
people and Plsntiss and Word
were elected.
III 1889 he was appointed by
President Van Buren, United
States Judge for the State OF
Mississippi and held that posi-
ton until January 1861. He was
a fine Judicial oficer and adj
ministersd justice with a strong
but impartial hand.
He was an ardent southern
man and when Lincoln was elect
ed president he became aseces-
sion candidate for the Conven-
ton from Monroe county and
was elected without opposition
He voted for the ordinance of
secession and on the day of its
passage, 9tn of January 1861, he
resigned his position as Federal
Judge.
When the tocsin OF war was
sounded he took the field and
during the four long years OF
carnage and bloodshed that fol-
lowed he was in the thickest OF
the fight. He entered the SER
vice as a Captain and c ONE
out of it " Brigadier General
Upon many battle 6sles he illus

man was more thoroughly de-
to her cause.
In 1865 he was elected a mem.
oor ol inc aaaialatura-from
Monroe county aud filed the pc.
sition with great satisfaction to
his constituents and he WIS
again elected to the Same posi-
ton in 1877.
He was a man of antiring Ell.
ergy and industry and faced
every difficulty and trouble with
unshrinking nerve and courage
His career has been a long and
honored one. In his death Mis-
sissippi has lost enc of Ler tru
est and most faithful sons.

'orney of this judicial district !
at this place. The court
room was well filed with an au-
iience who gave the speakers
good attention.
= Hon. w. A. Crum, the Inde-
candidate, opened the
discussion in q speech of one
hour in length. He claimed that
he had been . Democrat be-
cause he believed that the prin
clples Of that party were the
best calculated to preserve the
free institutions Of our country
and that the weIfareand prosper
ity Of the people depended upon
the success of the Democratic
party. He had remained with
with the party, he said, until II
had proven untrue to its pledg-
% and had failed to carry out
the reforms it had promised.
Hc charged that whom the
Democratic party csme into
power there were Judgments
against tho railroads on account
Of the Chickasaw school fund 10
the amount ST 4SOO,0O0 and that
only sixty.fve thousand dollars
Of it was ever collected. The
Mobile & Ohio railroad owed
three hundred thousand Of this
amount and it had never paid
one cent. That tho same rail-
road company in 1879 owed the
State taxes upon its lands to
the amount of ninety Thousand
dollars and other taxes to the
amount of ninety.thrse thous.
and dollars. A Democratic Leg
Islasure, he said, had given tho
company q full receipt upon
their paying twenty-five thous-
and collars.
He stated that in 1882 the
Legislature had incorpor ted
sixteen railroad companies with
. capita. of eighty millions of
dollars and had exempted them
from all taxation for the term
Of twenty years and that the
State tax upon the property
thus exempted would amount
to four hundred and forty tLous.
and dollars annually. The same
Legislature had incorporated
fourteen manufacturing compa.
MES with q capital of six million
of dollars and had exempted
them from all tax stion for ton
years. The state tax upon this
amount wonld be thirty three
thousand dollars annually.
He defended Gen. Chalmers
at some length and denied that

A singular fact was noted i'll
Chicago lately. All who had oc-
casion to use the telephone found it
vibrating to musical tones. Private
and public telephone were alike
affected, and also the police and fire.
alarm instruments. The source of
the music was a mystery till to-day,
when it TRANSFERRED that the telegraph
wire from the stock yards, passing
near most of the telephone wires,
was connected with the harmonic
system; that tunes were being play
ed over it, and that the telephone
wires took up the sounds by induc-
ton.
