figures, which will compare favor
orably over those of any of the
other towns of the Mississippi

Mckinley And The Negro.


New Orleans States.
Major Mckinley, who manifes;s
his love for the working classes OF
the country by taxing them on
every one of the necessities of life.
which tax goes into the pockets OF
the manufacturers, rode in the
labor parade at Cincinnati yester-
day in a carriage with a negro
named Green, who had been re-
fused a seat in the dining-rOom of
the Gibson house. Mr.. Mckinley
may desire to have the negro and
the working man believe that moth
ing gives him greater pleasure in
life than to be their guardian angel,
as it were, but he is not foollng the
masses OF the people of Ohio, eth
er white or black. He rides IN a
labor parade with a negro in his
carriage, not because he has any
great regard for laborers or the ne
gro race, but because he wants
their votes next November. The
fact that the negro Green was
turned out of a f~irst-class hotel in
Cincinnati, shows very plainly that
the white people of Ohio have no
greater inclination to dine with
negroes, recognize them as social
equals thanlhe whites of The South.

The President of The Mississippi
Press Association is in receipt of
the following from a brother editor.
or course the suggestion will be ac-

Association meets at Baltimore

great crowd that assemblies on that
interesting occasion it will never
be known ifthe tello VS. that 90 from

Surely the Bar of Mississippi could
not refuse so modest a request,

where they posed as edltors--when
railroad conductors were around.

Be it said to their shame, some

REPRESENTATIVE TILLMAN.
His Brief Experience With Under
clothes,
From the Ne,o York Sun.

From the Neto York Sun.
Representative Tillman of South Carolina
is 65 years old. He is among the elder men,
bers of congress, but is just as lively and
aggressive as the younger members. and
just as positive in his political convictions.
Resisting the temptations to which Mr..
Kelly of Kansas recently yielded, Mr.. Till
man has refused TO cast his lot with tho new
political party. Aud yet there is
one personal popularity of his which
would seem to fit him in an eminent
degree for association with Simpson
and PETER. While each Of these leaders of
the alliance makes capital of the omission of
one article Mr. Tillman makes the proud
boast that he wears no underclothing and
never has worn any except on one memoir
able occasion. That was when he was sent
to Harvard college, where he was a student
for a short time. On his fathers plantation,
near Curryton. young I1llman had never
INDUCED himself i'll the luxury Of
undergarnents, and when he went to school
at Penfeld, Ga, and later at Greenvllle,
s. c., he did not burden himself with
superfluous raiment. 1t was not from
poverty, utfrom dissemination, that young
Tillman made the omission. But when his
father sent him to Harvard he had certain
pride in fitting him cut like other young
men of his class, and he sent him two suits
of silk undertaking His limited expe-
rience with that paternal gift Mr.. Tillman
has often related to his associates in con-
gress. He put one suit Of undergar-
ments on the day when they arrived.
At the end OF the day he took it off
and put it carefully aside with the other
suit. He never wore either of them after
ward and from that day to this he has
never put on undergarments. If this does
not entitle him to the presidential nomina-
ton il ought at least to give him an alliance
seat in the Senate. Mr. Tillman also boasts
that be has never worn an overcoat. He is
q rugged, healthy man, aud as he never goes
north If Washington and the winters there
are not severe, he does not feel the need Of
the extra garment.

From the Indianapolis News
Henry H. X .gen in his travels is alert to
all opportunities to catch striking photo
graphs for use in his lectures. Last sum
mer, in Yellowstone Park, rs undertook the
risky business Of photographing a wild
bear.
He learned from the hotel clerk that the
bear had made its appearance for several
evenings at O'clock. 1t rOamed freely, for
no hunting is allowed in Yellowstone Park.
Mr.. Raglan, accompanied by the clerk, went
with his camera to the place frequented by
the bear, dropped piece of meat aud ad-
justed his camera with focus on the meat
about forty-fivs feet away.
Upon the sudden disappearance of the
clerk Mr.. Ragan for the first time reflected
that, though a camera is an effective wea-
pom in some respects, it is not frst-class
means of self defense in an encounter with
bear at short range. Besides his camera
be had pocketknife. However, he over
came feeling of growing discomfort and
ated. The clerk soon reappeared with
aAoEher man, and they were stationed be-
hlnd some bushes near by.
The bear was not long in making his en-
trance. As he saw Mr.. Raglan he broke
from walk into a trot toward him. Mr..
Raglan. true TO the pleasure of future aus
diencss, stood firm. When about sixty feet
away, the bear rose on his hind legs to max
a study of Mr. Raglan and his queer ap>
paratus. The lecturer quickly readjusted
his camera and caught Bruin in this refec-
tive attitude. The bear then discovered the
meat and Immediately became more inter-
osted in it, as evidenced by trotting in that
direction.
The cameras focus was again changed
and the bear was again pictoriallY captured
as he rose on his hind legs, the meat dang
ling from his mouth, and gave a defiant
look at the photographer. The bear and the
lecturer then parted, both well-satis6ed
