The REPORTER is the best ad-
yertising medium in this section
of North Mississippi for Mer~
chants and business men who
desire to place their business
before the intelligent reading
classes of Tishomingo and adj
joining counties and States.
Politically the Reporter is
Democratic, although bound by
no party's arbitrary sway--a
fearless exponent of unadulte>
rated Democracy-and while it's
endeavors is to disseminate the
wholesome truths aud maxiams
laid down by Jefferson. 1t de-
nies to no man the inestimable
privilege of thinking for himself.
It believes that the prosperity
of the entire Union, and the hap
piness Of the millions who con-
stitute its population will best
be subserved by the ascendancy
of these principles, therefore
whatever ability it may possess,
will be unfinchingly welded to
uphold these doctrines by the
election of it's standard bearers.
1t will always be found fear
lessly opposing party combina-
tons engendered for the purpose
of benefitting the few, that the

rich the poor, the high and the

OF the Reporter open to award
justice and promote their pros

The Cotton Planters

AS the planters are sowing seed
for another crop, the price of cotton
is going steadily upwards. The
planters will reap very little benefit
from this, for there is yer, httle cot.
ton in their POSSESSION In fact the
sharp rise in the staple now is more
likely TO be an Injury to them than a
benefit, for it will encourage the
planting of very heavy crop, and
cause the neglect of other crops to
that extent.
The difference in the price of cote
ton now and the price in December,
if II had been saved by the cotton
States, would have been OF very
great benefit. The price per bale Is
now fully eight dollars more than il
was during the greater part OF the
| season, whom the planters were
steadily selling. This shows that
the spectators have made off the
| cotton planters somewhere between
twenty and thirty millions of dol.
lars. In addition to that the bagging
men squeezed about five million dol
lars more out of them. This is an
immense sum of money on one crop
and the Alliances and agriculture
ordsrs had better devote some atten
ton to 1t, and little less to The
county and State offices. Electlns

THE CHAT OF LONDON.
Attack on Bismarck Boulanger and
Our OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES of Phelps.

Attack on Bismarck Boulanger and
Our ConstitutiOn-Jealous of Phelps.
Special Cable Dispatch to The EVENING STAR
LONDON, Feb. 1.-The Bismarck article in
the Contemporary is the sensation of the town.
1t is ascribed to tke Empress Frederick, the
Prince of Wales, DIR. Mackenzie, Sir Robert
Morier and Prof. Geffcken. We may expect
disclaimers. The empress is innocent, the
prince could not write it and Mackenzie did
not.
Crown Prince Rudolph's death removes an
other of Bismarck's enemies 1t was probably
due to excess, like that of Skobeloff and Gam
beta. Recently his divorce was rumored.
The London council met for the first time
yesterday. The gerrymanders failed to rush
the choice of radical aldermen, and there was
postponement.
A friend has interviewed Boulanger. He
expresses preference for the American con-
sttutlon, and we may expect changes in that
direction.
Speculation has been rife in the city for the
last week. Six million shares of joint stock
capital have been registered, chiefly mines in
South Africa. The African gold developments
are promising.
The foreign diplomatists are jealous of Min
lister Phelps personal popularity here, and es-
pecially OF the gift to his wife of bracelet
The only parallel was Madame Persigny, whose
bracelet was presented by the diplomatic
ladies. Mrs. Phelps is declared universally to
be the most charming ''of the medieval Puritan
type" in the phrase of an ex-foreign secre-
tary.
Ruskin, in the epilogue for the coming edi-
tion of Modern Painters,'' summarizes his
life's teaching to be that Of the personal rela-
ton of God to man. This is the source of all
human as distinguished from brutal virtue
The essential belief is that man can love and
obey living spirit. and be happy in the pres
ence of a personal Deity otherwise than a mol
lusc, beetle, or baboon. The author. Severn
Brentwood, tells me that Ruskin is much bet
ter and expects complete recovery.
