The Natchez Democrat, which so
much deprecates personal Journal
ism" (when it involves one of its fla
vorites, you know recently had an
article slurring and attempting to
belittle Hon. John NJ. Allen. Why is
thise Simply and only because Mr..
Allen is not a ring politician and has
the manhood and independence to
consult the people and their interests
rather than the behests of the political
bosses and their organs. He has
made one of the ablest Congressman
Mississippi has ever had, the Dem
Ocrat to the contrary Notwithstanding,
and we are glad to see he is properly
appreciated by the people of his dis

what Mr.. Aliens own countymen
think of him: eve, the Democrats
of Lee county, hereby endorse the
course of Hon. j. NJ. Allen in Con-

dorse his honesty we endorse his
manhood we endorse his devotion to
his people; we endorse his manly de
Tense of the South in the halls of

The people of Copiah county, in
convention assembled, passed a
resolution condemning the disrespect-
full way in which the Governor re-
ceived the committee from the Farm
ers' Alliance. The membership of the
Alliance in this county numbers some
1890, and of that number fully nine
tenths are democrats, and the people
here, whether members or not, felt
aggrieved that such large proportion
of their citizens had been snubbed by
his Excellency. The Alliance, as a
body, is not political organization,
nor was this resolution inspired by
them, but the members are democrats,
and they expressed their sentiments as
democrats in the convention on Sat-
urday. The resolution was adopted
without a dissenting voice.-Copiah

A Book Oh the Murder of Rod
erick Gambrell.

In response, as he says, to letters
from all sections of the country, Rev.
j. B. Gambrell, father of the murdered
Roderick, makes the following an
nOuncement in his paper, the South
ern Baptist Record:
We can state that after deliberate
consideration of the whole matter,
we have determined to see that the
facts, just as they were, shall be given
to the public in book form. 1t is due
the sovereign people, due the truth,
due the dead, whose honor has been
assailed by cloud of belated and
curiOusly suspicious witnesses, it is
due the cause for which our boy died,
and for which thousands as good and
true live and fight and pray.

town and with the value of the house
in which the man lives. A tradesman
in q small town pays smaller tax
than if he carried on business in
Athens, and the taxes paid by lawyers,
doctors and other professional men
vary from 80 to $40 year. Clerks
are taxed on their salaries, which tax
rises with the amount of income, and
man who makes less than 500 a
year does not pay taxes. If he makes
from 800 to 800 a year, he pays 2
per cent. to the government. If his
salary runs from 800 to $500 year,
he pays per cent, and If he makes
from 81 200 to 81 900 a year, he pays
8 per cent. of his salary in taxes, or,
in other words, if he made 81 200 a
year he would have to pay 500 in tax
es. Bankers pay per cent. on their
profits, and there is a tax on cigarette
paper, matches, playing cards and
other articles. These taxes may seem
heavy, but under Mr.. Tricoupis they
are being reduced, and they are so
divided, that they do not fall heavily
upon the people.
We have an army of $4,000 men in

they have good staying qualities in
time of war.

\ Whitewashing That Didn't
Come Off.

Judge Cassidy, who awhile back
appeared to be tie choice of all the
old Republicans of the District for
Congress, having seen all prospects
in that direction grow beautifully less
and fail to materialize, seems to have
been anxious, as last resort, to get
his adulterated Democracy endorsed
by being chosen as the Cleveland
Elector for this district. But he was
denied the sweet consolation of hav-
ing his Republican record whitewash
ed and cOndoned even to that extent.
At the Democratic State Convention
in jackson last week, after hard eff
fort on the part of himself and friends,
led by an ex-independent of Jctfer-
son, he was beaten for Elector by
Hon. c. +. Hooker, Jr., of Kinds, IA
young man of talents and Il good
speaker, but little known through
out the district. The Judge was not
even able to carry the vote OF his
own county.
We have little disposition to exult
over Il man when he is down, and
have only referred to this matter as
part Of the current political history of
the district. If the experience teach
es him to cut loose from his old Radi-
cal and Independent following and
be Democrat in fact as well as in
name, it will not be i'll vain. Other
wise the future is likely to be full of
such humiliations.

The Memphis Avalanche is follow
ing up the Keynote as struck by the
Record some time ago. 1t is right in
saying it is about time that the Delta
furnish the next Governor, and no
man in the State of Mississippi would
be more generally acceptable to the
whole people than WIN. Stovall of
COahOma. He is not a politician and
therefore better fitted to occupy the
Executive chair than one of that sort.

A TAX ON INCOMES.

Taxation is not heavy. We pay
about S. head all told, but the
greater part of our taxation is paid
indirectly. There is a tax on wine,
and then we have license tax, by
which every one who carries on a
trade or profession is obliged to pay
a certain sum to the Treasury. This
amount varies with the size of the

HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS
Care of Pictures.

Engravlngs, photographs or etchings
often collect dust between the picture
and The glass. This should not be al
lowed TO remain, as it will in time per
manently discolor the print The board
at the back should be removed, the pic
turc taken out and busted and the glass
washed. After this is done, paste a
large sheet OF paper carefully over the
nacks beng sure that IL covers the entire
back, taking in the part where the board
fits into the frame. Sometimes there are
knot holes in these boards, but where
ever there is the smallest crack there will
the dust penetrate, aud this is the only
certain was OF keeping il out. The best
picture dealers aud trainers now treat the

THE TIME TO HATE.

i have friend--I mean, a foe
Whom cordially ought 10 hate:
But somehow can never seem
To lay the feud between us straight.
When apple boughs are full OF bloom,
And Nature loves her fellow-men
With all the witchery OF spring
How can you hate a fellow thenl
And then when summer comes, with days
Full of a long and lsnguid charm,
when even water-lilies sleep
On waves without a thought Of harm,
When underneath the shadiest tree
My hammock hangs an idlest state,
were an idiot 10 get up
Out OF that hammock Just 70 hate.
Then haryests come. II mine is big,
am too happy with my store;
III small, I'm too much occupied
With grubbing round to make it more,
In dim recesses OF my mind; -
have no idle hour 60 spend
In hunting up the bitter foe
Who simply ought 70 be my friend.
In winterl Well in winter-ughi-
Who would add hate TO winds that freezel
All love and warmth that / can get
want in such dull days as these.
No, no, dear foe; il is no use;
The struggling year is at an end;
cannot hate you n ] would.
And you must turn and be INV friend.
