Natchez Democrat.

Natchez Democrat.
Mr.. Henry Watterson, who is
now lecturing in Texas. in a recent
interview is reported 10 haye said,
among other things:
For Gods sake, let us let it
alone, and try and elect our ticket
in 1892, II we do not carry the
country then, you may look for the
Force Bill and everything else
that bodies evil. Elect a Demo
cratic President and Congress, and
seciiona.ism is dead forever i'll
this country, and that is what we
want, to kill out sectionalism. Once
in possession of this Government
and we will deal with silver and
all other questions so honestly, SO
broadly, so patriotically, that we
shall challenge the judgment of the
masses, and in The providence of
God, we shall rule this country
wisely and we'll"
There is profound wisdom I'M
the above utterance that should
commend itself to every Democrat
in The land, and a warning that
cannot be safely neglected, one
that should alarm the wanderers
into The delusory paths of the
Sub treasury in Mississippi; an
appeal which should arouse the old
Democratic spirit in every quarter;
a promise of success and point
ing 10 The way for success which
should be encouraging.
If Democracy fail IN getting pos
session of the Government in '92,
with the chances for success now
held, we may look forward 10 in-
Vulnerable evils and expressions,
which neither third party schemes,
Sub-treasury reliels nor appeals to
the constitution can overthrow.
lie is no Democrat and unworthy
TO bear the name who will desert
The ranks upon any pretext at any
lime, but more especially now,
when the victory can be won if ev
cry man will stand by The colors
under which he has enlisted and
so long.
The farmers of Mississippi, like
The farmers all over the Union,
have suffered under Republican
and misrule, Just as
all other classes in the community,
except the manufacturing monop-
)lists and great moneyed trusts, so
hat it is to the interest of all To
mite as Democrats and destroy
he monster, and after this, as Mr..
says, we will deal with
all questions honestly, Broadly
and patriotically.

NEHER MIND WHAT PEOPLE THINK

II you are sure that rights your action.
Pitch right in, whatc'cr the cost

Pluck and push are never lost.
When you see the path Of duty,
Hesitate not at the brink
There's IN c"rnestness, a beauty
Never mind what people think.

Tho your beard may be unshorn,
Shove your way, aud push ahead thcre
Many IA hero's hat is torn.
Don't be deferred by muitcred snecring,
Never let your high hopes sink:
Captions critics never fearing
Do not mind what people think.
If big enterprise awaits you,
You can get it it you dare;
Snap Your fingers, tho they hate you
Fortune crowns tho free and fair.
If yon love Il worthy woman,
She with you her hand will link

How A BEAUTIFUL HYMN WAS
WRITTEN.-One day Mr.. Wesley
was sitting by an open window,
locking over the bright and beau
tiful fields. Presently little bird,
i1lttering about in the sunshine, at
tracted his attention. Just then a
hawk came sweeping down toward
the little bird. The poor thing,
very much iiIghtened, was darling
here and there, trying 10 find some
place of refuge. In the bright sun
ny air, in The leafy trees, or the
green fields, there was no hiding
place from the fierce grasp of The
hawk. Bnt seeing an open win.
dow, and a man sitting by il, the
bird flew, in its extremity, towards
1t, and, with beating heart and
a quivering wing, found refuge in
Mr.. Wesiley's bosom. He shelter
ed 1t from the threatening danger,
and saved il from a cruel death.
Mr.. Wesley was al the time suf-
fcring from severe trials and was
feeling the need of refuge in his
own time OF trouble, as much as
did the trembling little bird that
nestled so safely In his bosom, So
he took up his pen and wrote that
beautiful hymn:
''Jesus, lover of my soul,
Let me tn thy bosom fly,
While the waves Of trouble roll,
While the tempest still is high"
That prayer grew into one of the
most beautiful hymns in our lam
gauge, and mullitudes of people,
when in sorrow and danger, have
found comfort while they have
said or sung the last lines of that
hymn.

A Correction About the Expenses OF the
Public School System.

Public School System.
On page IS of my recent report state
that the pay TO County Superint t:-..~..-s
averages throughout the State only |
? 5-0 per cent. of the school fund, that
the cost of the Boards Of Education, in
Guiding postage, stationery and all other
expense, is only l 3 s per cent, and
that the pay to the County Treasurer is
2 per cent. This makes a total TO the
officers in the counties Of 6 per cent
This amounts tO less than 343 600 Be-
fore the war the chairman OF ti!e Board
of Superntendents, who YaS really tie
County Superintendent, was Treasurer
and got 1-2 per cent. for handling the
finds. have called the attention Of
the Assembly to the fact that the ex-
pense of the system might be made less
if the Superttendents were again made
Treasurers of the funds.
1t is true that in some Of the oouuiieT
the superintendents GET AS much IS PEI

the average. 1t may be that ii some Of
the counties the boards Of education
have more meetings than are necessary
and their expenses run beyond 3 s, but
is the average in the State.
