NO CAMPAIGN In MISSISSIPPI.

The Republican candidate for
Governor IN Mississippi has with.
drawn from the canvass. There will
be no further attempt at a campaign
by the Republicans in that State
this fall. The election will go by
default to the Democrats. General
Chalmers went to Chickasaw Coun.
ty, which has been among the most
peaceable and conservative counties
in the State, to make speech. The
use of the Court House in Oklahoma
was refused him and he hired hall.
That night the local military compa-
ny marched down to the hotel where
General Chalmers was staying and
yelled for Stone, the Democratic
candidate. Next morning abusive
handbills were distributed, warning
white men to keep away from the
meeting. Friends of Gen. Chalmers
called upon him and urged him not
to speak. At first he was determin.
ed to go on, but both Republicans
and Democrats told him that if he
did the military company would
break up the meeting and probably
murder the people who attended
it. To save them Gen. Chalmers
consented to keep quiet. Further,
seeing that his continued efforts
would only cause his followers to be
murdered he has given up the can.

A SENSIBLE CHARGE.

Judge Harvey, in a recent charge
to the grand jury of Lincoln County,
departed from the usual line OF such
charges. He dwelt upon two things
which he said were among the great.
est hindrances to the peace and pros
perity of the county. These were !:
LIST. Bad roads.
End. Carrying pistols.
He charged the grand jury to IN
vestigate carefully all charges
against the road surveyors and to
return true bills against every sur.
veyor in the county who did not
come fully up to the requirements of
the law.
On the cowardly and dangerous
practice of carrying concealed weap-
Ons, especially pistols and revolvers,
he was particularly scorching and
urged the grand jury to make a thor
Ough examination into this matter.
If the other Circuit Judges of
West Virginia would follow Judge
Harvey's example IN these two par
ticulars, and keep it up persistently,
it is quite probable that very notable
changes for the better would be the
result.-StGte Journal.

ENGLAND'S RUINED FARMERS.

An English author, Mr.. Prothero,
has just written a very interesting
book on "The Ruin of the English
Farmer" which our Free-trade
friends ought to read. 1t is publish
ed by the Eongmans and is the sub
ject of favorable notices in the Lon
don papers.
After giving the history of farm
ing in England and bringing it up
to a time when general prosperity
Teigned, we are ted: "Then came
Free Trade, followed by another
period of great distress. Foreign
competition completed the ruin OF
the English farmer. The difficulty
of the day is low price. IL is next
to impossible to produce corn, meat
or dairy produce with a margin of
profit. Like stage coaches and sail.
ing ships, agriculture on scientific
principles seems to have become
useless Just when it reached perfec-
ton. Nowadays it is actually retro.
grading"
Mr.. Protbero discusses the remedy
for "the present calamitous state of
things" in England with great abili
ty, but he fails to give the farmers
of that country much encourage
ment. Although he inveighs against
Protection, he seems to admit that
1t would be a good thing for the far
mers. " At the present moment,n
he says, agriculturists are Cypress.
ed by Protection taxes upon Free
trade prices" Although the Eng.
lish farmers have had the Free trade
feast spread before them for half a
century, they are still paying "Pro.
lection taxes" point the American
farmer may we'll take to heart.
The author shows how England
is to-day undergoing change "from
tillage to PASTURE" and the farmers
are growing worse instead of better.
In France and Germany, under Pro
tectioh, the farmers are growing
prosperous. In England, under Free
Trade, they are in a calamltous
state" Let the American +" farmer
ponder on these facts.-PhH. Press

A WAY BACK SPIRIT.

1t lisa pity that when the country
IS getting along peaceably aud the
people harmonious aud attentive to-
business, election excitement gives
the old saw dust eaters chance to
tear around IN the political arena
and abuse everybody and everything
not in accordance with their narrow
and selfish ideas oil human events.
1t is a way back bourbon spirit that
has learned of no higher virtue than
to force men and principles to agree
with its own one.thought mind and
one.sided view. or quit the universe.
In its political talk and actions, in
this State and every State, the end
justifies the means, and contrary to
that there can be no purity, no hon
esty,-no right, no respect,--as great
and lawful as its own,-nothIng
equal to its equality of self and
same.
In Virginia this century past spirit
is running high against Republican.
ism in one volume of abuse and de-
nunciation,- arguments and issues
to the winds.
A prominent young Virginia Dem.
ocrat, John s. Williams, in one of
his speeches, said =
"The question with us now is not
the tariff, or the school question, or
the debt question, but the negro
question whether the negro, under
Mahone's leadership, shall run the
political machine and place vulgar
and ignorant men in Office, or wheth.
er the fittest shall govern and the
white man keep his place. If
Malone should succeed trouble will
ensue. Every vote polled by the
negro is usurpation. 1t is the ex-
preston of great crime-the plac
ing on an equal politically with our
selves of millions of our former slaves
and hirellngs, who, under the con-
troll of wicked, INSCRIPTIONS men
may be instruments of serious harm
to our best and highest interests.
" When the white man interferes
with and obstructs the negro in the
exercise of his so-called right, which
is not a right at all, but great
wrong brought upon us without our
yolition, cut an imposition of victors
on the conquered, he feels that he
does no moral soroag and is guilty of
no moral injustice. 1t will be mis-.
fortune if political triumph should
turn them from their propar callings
and incite them to insolence and
lawlessness. When the negro re-
sorts to arms he usually suffers most.
A leading Democrat of Radford,
said: We don't propose to have
any Northern protection or Republi.
canism taught to our people, and
whenever a Republican speaks in
in this State one of our speakers will
hold meeting for the diversion of
the people. We do not see why any
ID Yankees should come down
here preaching their doctrines
among our people. We have got
plenty of speakers at home who can
teach our people all that they need
to know; Yankees can stay at home
and teach their own people. If l
had my way 1 would not let a Yam
kee cross the border line into Vir-
ginia during political campaign.
General Malone is to speak In my
town during the campaign, and I
have already sent to our Democratic
committee the names OF several of
our best speakers who should he sent
here to counterfeit his talk. although
he is a native Virginian himself.n

A soup is o sort of outdoor picnic.
Each person invited brings dressed

combination is reduced to a jelly.

soup with long handled iron-spoons,
walking round the kettle as they stir.
When girls spoon clicks against
the spoon of young man he is bound
to catch and kiss her. AS you can
imagine, there are good many live
ly scrimmages around the kettle.
When the soup is dono it is Labeled
out into plates and eaten, and is deli
cious. The custom is an old one and
I was unable to find its origin. A
company of Stonewall Jackson's COM

MALARIA

Literally means bad air. Poisonous
germs arising from low, marshy land, or
from decaying vegetable matter, are
breathed into the lungs, taken up by the
blood, and unless the vital fluid is purifi-
ed by the use of a good medicine like
Hoods Sarsaparilla, the unfortunate VIC
tim is soon overpowered Even in the
more advanced cases, where the terrible
fever prevails, this successful medicine
has effected remarkable cures. Those
who are exposed to malarial or other
poisons should keep the blood pure by
taking Hoods Sarsaparilla.
