The agitation over granger nomina-
tions for county offices continues. Ar
kansas has caught the Infection and
other Southern States are falling into
line. Prohibition and labor questions
are destined to cut big feature in South
ern politics within the next five years.
The conventions will be split wide open
on these issues and the measures and
concessions that cannot be secured in
the conventions will be secured by bolt
ing the nominations made there and
making independent tickets. The signs
of the times all point to the dawning of
a political day in the Southwest, when
the crack Of the ring-masters whip will
be no longer potent to compel blind
obedience to party dictation. There are
several factors to be considered in max
ing up the sum total Of the forces that
win antagonize the old machine meth
dds and workers, but the most potent
among them will be the great questions
IF prohibition and land and labor re-
'orms.

The Old World anarchists very gener-
ally denounce the Chicago Outrages, de-
claring that under republic such
weapons of warfare are not admissible.
They maintain that where the franchise
is free the ballot is the true weapon OF
the revolutionist. There will be little
objection to this means of revolutioniz-
ing our institutions.

with the Typographical Union, says

ocal compliment. The Examiner sees
only red flag when the Times flutters.

come the unwritten law of Texas poll
tics, and this great State will be Infinite
ly greater in all that makes for the dig
nifty and purity of her government than
she is to-day.

THE action of Gov. Hughes in ap-
pointing Capt. Charles Bowen to
the office of county judge was wise
and polite. The appointment is
bound to give satisfaction for the
people of Mississippi comfy have
repeatedly conferred positions of hon
or and trust on Capt. Bowen in the
past forty years, AUD have always
found him worthy and capable.
The interests of Mississippi county
are as dear to him as his own chl-
dren, for he was her pioneer guard
ian when the trappers and fatboat-
men represented her largest popu-
lation, and an old hat was large
enough to carry her records and
revenues in.
The appointment Of neither of the
aspirants, though both are well quail
flied for the position; would not
have given the general satisfaction
that the selection Of Judge Bowen
has done.

A Word to Young Men

1t is as easy to be a rich man as IA
poor one. Half the energy display
ed in keeping ahead that is required
to catch up when behind would save
credit, give more time to attend to
business, and add to the profit and
reputation of those who work for
gain. Honor your engagements.
If you promise to meet a man, or to
do certain thing at certain mo-
ment, be ready at the appointed
time. If you go on business, attend
promptly to matters on hand, then
as promptly go about your own bus
mess. DO not stop to tell stories in
business hours.
If you have place Of business be
found there when wanted. No man
can get rich by sitting around stores.
Never fool on business matters.
Have order, system, regularity, lib
erality, promptness. Do not med
die with business you know nothing
of. Never buy an article you do
not need, simply because it Is Cheap
and the man who sells it will take
it out in trade. Trade is money.
Strive to avoid harsh words and per
sonalities. Do not kick every stone
in the path; more miles can be made
in day by going steadily on than
by stopping to kick. Pay as you go.
A man of honor respects his word
as he does his bond. Aid, but never
beg. Help Others when you can,
but, never give what you cannot af-
ford to, simply because it is fashion
able. Learn to say "no." No ne
cessity for swapping it out in dog
fashion but say it firmly and respect
fully. Have bat few coufdents,
and the fewer the better. Use your
own brains rather those Of others.
Learn to think and act for yourself
Be vigilant. Keep ahead rather
than behind the time.
Young man, cut this out, and if
there is folly in the argument, let
us know Ex.

One of the curiosities of light and
heat is The fact that the rays Of the
sun should pass through cake OF
ice without melting it at all, as is
the case when the thermometer
stands little above zero. That the
rays otheat actually penetrate the ice
is shown by the fact that a lens OF
ice may be used for setting fire to
infamable substances.
