An immense prairie fire has been. raging

laga OF Menoken, fourteen miles below

cinders
! The president has written letter to
the chairman of the Boys and Girls
National Home and Employment asso-
citation. in which he says the objects of
the association have his warmest SYM
pathy. They should, he says, have the
intelligent support of the national con

to promote patriotism and good citizen
ship in the neglected classes must be
done before the habits of vice and pau

be requested to repeal said law. A doz-

and when order was restored many
| speeches were made in opposition to the
! resolution and not one in favor of it. It
was tabled indefinitely.
| The Mississippi Plan.
! The republican state executive COM
mittee of Mississippi met at Jackson on
Saturday to consider the withdrawal of
Gen, Chalmers from the head of the
state ticket. The committee issued the
following: "As republicans of Mssis-
sippi we are compelled to Withdraw our
state ticket. We know our votes would
! be stolen and our voters driven from the
polls, but we hoped in the larger towns
and cities, at least. a -semblance of free
speech might still remain TO us. but our
candidates are not allowed to safely dis
cuss or protest. We desired especially
to go before the whole people of the state
and challenge the democrats to d COM
parison of principles and records When
the armed revolution of 1875 wre sted the
state from us, Mississippi was the only
southern state unburdened with state
debt. She has democratic one to-day.
Mississippi is governed by minority
despotism, and we appeal to our country

changed. Our laws stand substantially
unchanged and unrepealed, but we are

| fourteen years, ever since the infamous
Mississippi plan was adopted, our path

bravely died, but faithful followers,
known only in the cabins of the lowly.
We refer not only to such well known
slaughters as kemper and Copiah, Gin
ton and Carrollton, Wahollan and Vlcks-
burg. Yazoo City and Sellare. but to the
numberless killings by creek and bayou.
on the highway and by the highway.
These are the democratic arguments
which crush us. We can do no more.
We dare no longer carry our tattered,
blood-stained republican flag We ap-
peal to the nation. Is national law and
honor but delusion and snare?
When we rely upon the guarantees Of
the national constitution do We but lean
upon broken reed? If SO, announce
