Another Phase of the Proxy Cues
ton.

1t turns out that Col. Hooker's friends
on the Executive Committee in Copiah
county secured control of the Committee
by rejecting duly authorized and ac-
credited proxy, whose principal was
sick. This piece of information will
doubtless shock the non partisan citizens
of Kinds, but it is nevertheless true.
The question naturally arises, How
can Col. Hooker and his friends justify
the action of the Executive Committee
in Copiah county in doing that for
which they condemn in unmeasured
terms the Executive Committee of Kinds
county? Both counties form part of the
same Congressional District, and both
were engaged in starting the party
machinery used to ascertain the will
of the party. If it was right to reject a
proxy in Copiah county, why was it not
right to do the same thing in Kinds?
At the very time that Col. Hooker
and his friends we're using all the means
within their control to discredit ma.
jority Of the Kinds County Committee
for refusing to seat the proxy of St
Leon, who had permanently removed
from the county, according to his owr
confession, if we are able to understand
the English language, it was matter
of history that the Copiah County Com
mittee, acting in Col. Hooker's inte rest
had rejected the proxy of a member
who was unable to attend because o.
sickness. Is it possible that Col. Hookei
and his friends did not know what hat
taken place in Copiah? Or, being in
formed on the subject, did they cencea
the facts?
1t is travesty on justice and fairnes
for Col. Hooker to stand up and preach
his usual TRADE against the Executiv
Committee of Kinds county, because o
their action in rejecting st. Leon
proxy, knowing all the while that b
has profited by the action of his friend
on the Copiah County Committee i
rejecting the proxy of member VIII

Hooker, who is the only co-adjutor Mr..

know, we copy the following sensible
editorial from the Memphis appeal:
Cotton ties have always been bug
bear to the high tariff people, who for
some reason have always shown spite
toward them. They did not come under
the distinct divisions of the tariff, but
were taxed among iron productions not
otherwise mentioned. The high tariff
monopolists have contended that iron
ties ought to be classed with certain
named articles that pay much higher
rate than the miscellaneous class. Again
and again they have appealed to the
officials in Washington to have this
classification made, and have tried what
law would do in the courts. But all
efforts to make the cotton grower a
payer of tribute to the iron master in
PENNSYLVANIA failed. To make sure of
ultimate victory Mr.. Randall, in his
tariff bill now before Congress, proposes
to double the present tax. These detes-
table attempts 10 make the cotton grower
tributary serf to Pennsylvania has
aroused rebuke even in the North. The
New York Star says: There is not
more indefensibe and hurtful tax than
on imported cotton ties. 1t fixes upon
the people of eleven States cruel and
grieyous burden for the sole purpose OF
enriching few iron manufacturers in
Pittsburg. 1t goes far toward Gripping
an industry that produces annually
$240, 900, 900 worth of raw material, and
that furnishes the basis of other indus
tries involving ihnumerable other mil
lions Do our hard working cotton
growers like this way of hitching them,
like team, to draw the triumphal car
of the Pennsylvania iron lords? This is
carrying the abomination TOO far, and
our people in the cotton business ought
to protest against it, demand tariff re-
form, and censure that tool of the mo-
nopolists, Mr. Randall"

Not Affected by Age.

Some old specimens of ROYAL Baking
Powder that had been kept on the shelf of
grocery store for ten years were recently
tested by Professor Schedler, of New York,
for the purpose of measuring the loss of

that although the powder had been ex-

Its loss of raising power or strength was
less than one per cent, the powder being
practically as good as the day it was put

This is particularly the case with 'sbread

from phosphates.
This superior keeping quality in the

care in its manufacture, and the scientific
principles employed in its combination.
The articles used in its composition are
thoroughly dried by heat before being
compounded, and are so prepared and
coated as to prevent the action of the acid
upon the alkali prematurely. or except
under the influence of heat or water neces-

The Royal Baking Powder is now used

stand the hot, moist atmosphere without
deterioration.

The Decline of Home Politeness.
