lour asse,ti of that doctrine and
our preparation to maintain it. Il
Lnot intended to recommend any at

powers in the creation offs power
ful navy. The changes WHICH have
rapidly occurred by the diminua'
ton of the relative resisting power
cf the defensive armor of iron clads
and by increased efficiency of mod.

has joinod in the competition. sug.
gest that we should not at present
enter largely into the creation of ar
mored vessels.
In the questions that beset this
subject until they should have reach
a solution, we can content ourselves
withadding hut sparingly. But We
do add should be the very best that
science and experience can indi-
cate. This prudential view is re-
[inforced by the consideration that
the annual charge Of maintaining a
war vessel bear an important pro-
portion to the original cost of con-
struction. In constructing perma.
nent Notifications and IN providing
an ample supply of the best mod
ern artillery the annual cost Of
maintenance u inconsiderable. Near
ly the whole expenditure is the or
iginal outlay for construction. If
we do not make the expenditure
necessary to provide for our sea
coast defences when we have sur
plus. and have no need to levy new
tayes We certainly will not make
those expenditures when we have
mo longer a surplus in tho Treas
ury. To leave our vast interests
defenceless in order.to reduce the
cost of whisky to its consumers.
would be a soleclsm. The present
time is peculiarly..favorable for pro-
vid,ng for this great national ne.
ecssity, too long neglected. Not
only does the surplus in the Treas
ury supply ample means to meet
this great public want without lay
lug new burdens upon the people
but the work can now be done at q
much lower cost than has ever be-
fore been possible. The defensive
works would consist almost entire
ly of steel and iron. The materi.
ais can now be had at enprecodent
ly low prices. A vast supply Of
machinery and of labor called into
existence by q great vicissitude of
steel and iron industries offers its.
elf to our service, We should have
the satisfaction of knowing that
while we were availing ourselves
OF the supplies which would ordin-
arily be .unattainable woswere set
ting in motion important industries
and giving employment to labor in
a period of depression. With en-
couragement by the guarantee of
word, or perhaps by the govern
ment itsolf furnishing the plant the
inventive genius of our people
would be applied to the creation of
new means and improved machin-,
ery, and establishments would
spring into existence capable Of sup
plying all the ationsl wants nand
rendering us completely independ-
ent of all other countries IN respect
to means of national defense.

some time since an election was held
here to decide who should be postmas.
ter. 1t was charged that the election
was not fair in all respects, some Re-
publicans and people who do not re
ceiVe their mail here voting, which
was contrary to the understanding.
The matter has remained in statue quo
until to-day, when Congressman Barks-

dorse Gen. Writ Adams for the office
and have issued the following in ex-
PLANTATION:
JACKSON, MISS, Sept. 70. 1886.
"The undersigned, DESTROYS of re-
hecting the will of a majority of the
Democrats, residing within the deliv-
cry of the Jackson postofice, in the rec.
ommendation we designed making to
the president, had recourse to a prima-
ry election, and for its conduct adopt
ed rules and regulations, which we
deemed essential, Among them was
the following:
"'In case a single vote is cast, not
authorized by the conditions pre-
scribed for said election, we should re-
gard it a nullity.'
Upon an examination of the papers
submitted to us by ]. w. Clingan and
Chester P. Buckley we have found that
said rule was violated by the casting
of a number of improper votes, not
wlthstanding the care exercised by the
managers, and this violation is declared
and shown in the papers submitted by
both parties. In accordance with the
conditions prescribed for said election,
and because Of their violation, we
have decided that said election is of no
binding force and especially SO since it
appears from the allegations Of both
parties that many improper votes were
cast, making it doubtful as to
who is the real choice of
the Democrats properly voting at
said election. The election having
failed, it became Il duty to make a
recommendation, which we have done.
The conclusion we have reached after
due deliberation is not the result of
compromise or concession on the part
of either, but is the best Judgment of
each as to what is proper to be done
under the circumstances"

E US KNOW,

Mr.. Beck, What You Know in Re-
gard to the Escape Of the Follow
Ing Prisoners, in Your Custody.
Before Sheriff Beck goes out of Of
fee he should be forced to give an &C.
count of his stewardship, as custodian,
of county prisoners, especially that
portion Of them, who have failed to
turn up at such time as they were
wanted for trial, transmission to the
penitentiary or dismissal. We have
printed, from time to time, accounts
of the escape of this class of prisoners,
many of whom have made breaks for
liberty under rather peculiar circum-
stances and in such manner as to re-
fleet upon the management of the Jail,
under Mr.. Beck's regime. Among
some OF these are Joe King, who es-
capped from a bailiff, after sentence for
two years was passed upon him. Gill
bert Thomas, who was committed by
Mayor Powell, for safe keeping, on
charge of assault with intent to kill,
was taken outside the walls to do a
private job of work for Mr..
Beck, and escaped from Jail Guard
Donald Campbell. Monroe johnson
was allowed to walk out of the court
room during court. Ed Thomas
skipped out from Jail Guard Camp
bell while working at the courthouse.
Thomas Morton and George Randolph,
it is believed upon good grounds bribed
the Jail guards and walkel out al
though they cut a hole through the
wall for a blind. VIM. Cole escaped
from Donald Campbell and N. A..
Anderson while loading wood for
Beck's woodward on a freight Car on
the Valley railroad four miles below
the city. The Sam Jones we referred
to a few days since as having escaped
while acting as head-pusher at
Beck's brick-yard, is not the celebrated
divine, but a gentleman of color who
had been entrusted to Mr.. Beck's keep

Sharkey Notes.

WILLIAM TURN, DCpl' IL
| noticed in your issue, this morn
ing, the report from the agricultural
department, which is, 1 hope, correctly
given, but if the reporters have fol-
lowed up the different districts in the
past two weeks, and said States has
fallen below the average in the same
ratio as this leyee district, they would
weep as all planters over this district
are doing, or are about to do. In a
few words, it is raining and has been
for the past week, and the worms are
completely stripping the field. The
prospect is bad.
We have drummers without num-
Der, which shows that the commercial
agencies are still in hope, but they are
principally whisky drummers.
In lassing through the several
districts of Sharkey, | have heard the
name of Mr.. H. L. Foote mentioned as
the popular candidate for sheriff of
this county, and upon meeting him to-
night l asked him if he would be a
candidate for said office. His remark
was, in his open, candid manner, 81.
am, and you can so state, as my friends
from all ports of the county
have requested me to be, l think it my
duty to comply with their wishes, and
especially after refusing to become a
candidate, at their solicitation, for the
last term. I was glad to hear Mr..
Foote's frank expression, and no COM
ments are necessary, as every one in
the Levee District knows H. l.. Foote.
The L., N. o. & T, railroad is slope
ing up their track in about as fast a
condition for fast running as ever was

Cotton is now being picked as rap
idly as possible, but little ginning,

The curfew Law for Boys.


Memphis Appeal.
The more practical phjlanthropists
who 60 among the poor study the
social phenomena presented by crime
and poverty, the more they agree in
the conclusion that the work of relief
and amendment to the substantial and
permanent must begin among the
young. Among the boys it is found
that associations made in the streets at
night, when they are allowed to mingle
Unfortunately with chance com
panions, is one of the most de-
PRAYING influences. InkOgden, Utah
the conduct CT the boys in the streets
at night has become so gross as to re-
quire an adequate remedy. AT the
meeting of the city council there a
week ago an ordinance was read bro.
posing to establish a modification of
the old English law, that required all
people to remain in doors after the
nightly ringing of the curfew (couvre-
few bell. The first section Of the
proposed ordinance provides that it
shall be unlawful for minors, children
under sixteen years of age, to be
on the public streets of the
city of Ogden without their
parents, friends or guardians accom-
panying them, or without a special
permit for that purpose, after the hour
of 8 o'clock pm, from the 1st day of
September to the 1st day of April, and
after 8 o'clock pm. from the 1st of
April to the LIST Of September Of each
year. The ordinance proceeds to re-
quire the fire brigade to ring the night
ly curfew, after which time minors
violating the ordinance are subject to
arrest for misdemeanor. Councilman
Driver remarked: 1--WE have some
bad boys and girls in Ogden, and
the city council has as much right to
undertake to correct the morals of the
children as they have to pass laws con
corning sidewalks. If such a law
had been in existence ten years ago,
there would not have been so many
bleeding hearts as there are to-day
over hayward children. A SINH
lar law to the one proposed Is
in operation in Sacramento Marysville
Colusa and other California cities,
and in Reno, New. In all these places
the object is attained, and after the
ringing of the bell no children are to
be seen on the streets. 1t may be an
old custom, but it is well sometimes
to go back a thousand years or so
and rake up an old principle
when it happens to be a good one"
This ordinance looks like a strong
measure against the young folks, but
many a father, and especially many a
mother, would be glad to have their
authority to keep their children at
home at night reinforced by just such
a law, and many a city would save
thousands in Jail expenses by the aid of
some curfeW law.

A Review of State sroons
Aberdeen Examiner, 9th

ADtTueen examiner, Jtn.
DR.. w. G. Sykes, President of the
Mississippi Exposition Association,
has written to Gov. Lowry, requesting
him to secure a detail of. three United
States army officers for the competitive
State infantry drill, at Aberdeen, on
the 22d of October, and urging the
governor and his staff to be present for
a review of the State militia. Gov
ernor Lowry will doubtless issue an
order in due time commanding the
State troops to assemble at Aberdeen
for review during the fair week.
At a meeting of the Directors of
the Mississippi Exposition Association
on Monday, several matters were dis
posed of, among which was the in
crease of the prize for the military
drill. After mature deliberation it was
deemed advisable to offer a first prize
of one thousand dollars, the other
two remaining at TWO hundred
and one hundred dollars. These prizes
are ample to secure the attendance of
any and all the military companies of
the State, and will assure the largest
attendance that we have ever had.
There can be no plea on the part of
any organization in the State that the
purse is too small.

The Vicksburg Hospital and DR.

Brandon RpDuhlinan

The Vicksburg Hospital and DR..
Robbins.
Brandon Republican.
Our young friend DR.. Hugh Lofin,
who has been practicing as an assistant
surgeon under DR.. Sam Robbins in the
Vicksburg Hospital, is at home this
week, to spend a few days prior to
starting to Vanderbilt University, to
finish his course as an NJ. d. Hugh is
a promising young man and we be-
speak for him a brilliant career.
He informs US that under the super
vision Of DR.. Robbins, the Hospital at
Vicksburg, is a grand institution, and
is doing a glorious work. Sam Robbins
don't do things by halves, and he is the
right man in the right place. All he
needs is more money, and we hope that
the next Legislature will make a sufii-
Gent appropriation to the Vicksburg
hospital to enable DR.. Robbins to
widen the field of usefulness in which
he is engaged. The institution, as far
as it goes, is a blessing to the poor of
the land, but the accommodations are
not near sufficient for the applicants
for treatment, and the State of Louisi-
ana good naturally takes in the poor and
sick that rightly belong to Mississippi.
Is our State too penurious to provide
these accommodations, or is she too
much of a pauper? A few thousand
dollars more could be spent to great adj
vantage on the Vicksburg hospital. 1t
could be made a State Institution to
which we could point with pride and
boast of an honest, humane desire to
serve the afflicted.
