AFFECT poverty of the many.
we believe that the United States
should be nation of homes owned
by It's millions of citizens, and not an
aristocracy of landlords and herd of
mental tenants. We believe that the
general good is paramount to individ-
ual wishes, we believe that the gen.
eral intelligence, the general pros
perity and happiness of a people are
to be sought and legislated for. than
that any individual class should be
favored. Believing as we do we
make the demand as has been set
forth in preceding articles.
We do not claim to be infallible as
to the results that will follow all the
legislation demanded 1t were fool
ish to do so. But supposing mistakes
are made. Is it any more than has
been seen In the Legislation of the
past twenty-five yearsa Surprising
that in the reinstatement of our cur
rency to its proper place, as medium
OF exchange, and not an article of
commerce, and in putting in circula-
ton an adequate amount thereof,
that the purchasing power of the
''dollar' is lowered until upon an
average it represents one bushel Of
wheat in the hands of the producer.

The singing throughout was
spirited and sweet, in some instances
of higher order than could be ex-
pected. There was one piece in
particular that deserves special
mention, it was so pleasing and SO
we'll acted by the chiidren-"The
Little Tradesmen. There were
twelve characters each with his OF
her implements of trade, and all
seemed TO appreciate their different
characters.
The whole exercises were carried
out in such a pleasing manner, the
pupils seeming to enjoy themselves
as much as the audience, that every
body present was gratitied witt
what they saw and heard, and Mr.
John McCabe, their teacher, has
good cause to be proud of hi
school and deserves warm praise
for the care and patience which HI
must have given to his children t
cause such efficiency.
The school was crowded Will

on the window frames. Anon,
those present were Mr.. Ewart, wifi

MISSISSIPPI MATTERS.
Mississippi Honored.

WATER VALLEY, May "A young
lady, Miss Minnie Markette, of the tenth
grade of our public school, presented
the essay which won the prize offered
to the State of Mississippi by the pub
fishers of the Youths Companion. The
prize for the best essay was large flag
of the Union. This evening at o'clock
large company, appreciating this dis
tinction won by the school, assembled
at the Public School Building. The
school, numbering 45O pupils, marched
out to the campus in front of the build.
ing and took possession and sang "Amer.
ica." A brass band then played several
patriotic pieces. Minnie Markette then
hoisted the flag to the top of the cupola,
amidst loud cheers of the school and
spectators. DIR. ii. A. Cant then read
the essay, which had been the best pre-
sented by any school in the State, after
which Capt. w. A. Herring was intro
duced and addressed the school and as.
sembly in patriotic strain for hour.
After one other patriotic song by the
school the school and audience were dis
missed. The effect of the demonstra-
tion was to cement the city in a common
and enthusiastic effort to make the
school more effective than ever before.
The pride in the achievement of the
school was unbounded.
