Gen. Walthall writes letter for
publication under date of the II inst.
in which he declares that he will not
be a candidate for rc-election to his
seat in the United States Senate. his
present term expiring March 1895.
Gen. Walthall may signify his wish
to retire, yet the people of the State
may through their re representatives in
the incoming Legislature. demand his
services. and lay their commands up
on him.
Gen. Walthall is a kingly la;n. and
turmoil of political life hps no charms
for him. yet he would not refuse IL
peoples demand. IL peace as in wal.
he is ever ready to yield self to the
call OF his people and his State: he be-

Senator Waltlall's many friends IL.
this city. in this STATE, and We may say
in the nation. viii sincerely regret
that hr has determined not to be II
candidate to succeed himself in the t.
s. Senate. During his service in the
Senate. Gen. Walthail has adorned III,
position and proved himself to be one
of the most able as we'll as one Of the
most useful senators Mississippi has
ever had. There is 10 doubt he would
have been triumphantly re-electcd by
the next Legislature had he concluded
to submit his name as candidate.
Senator Walthall has been emphatic
cally ''the right man in the right
place. and so far as our observation
goes there WAS an almost unanimous
desire on the part Of the people Of Mis-
sissippi to retain him in the Senate.
We would fan hope that Senator
Walthall will reconsider mis- dctcrmi-
nation. hut from the tone OF his letter
his purpose seems to he fixed and ullal-

NO. 35

Senator Walthall's decision to retire
to private life at the conclusion of his
term, 1895, is received with genuine
sorrow by the majority of persons. It
is not supposed that Mississippi has
no other son capable Of serving her.
but any State would be rich indeed
that had many Z. G. WalthalIs or his
equals. and it is impossible for his fel-
low-citizcns to forget that he war first
appointed to the Senate in Response to
the public voice, then practically unan-
imous: that his dauntless bravery in
the field was only to be equaled by his
wisdom in council, his purity in pri-
valc life, and that his abilities and
mis- stainless reputation would adorn
any position in the gift of man. But
Senator Walthal has never said that
he will not serve the people, if they
demand his services. and we 10 not
believe he will ever become so deaf
to the voic" Of duty as to decline a re-
newal of the labors and honors which
they originally thrus, upon him. He
ought to be reelected by acclamation..

1t is said in railroad circles that
the Ohio River II. r. is one of the
very few, if perhaps not the only
road that never defaulted single
interest payment, and earned and
paid its dividends and fixed charges.
as well as kept up its betterments
and improvements from tho running
of its first train. The road is PA
miles long, has been in operation
seven years, and has never killed II
passenger. Notwithstanding two
great floods, unprecedented in this
country. that have overflowcd the
road, suspended all traffic and in
volved heavy extraordinary expen-
ses, it has never asked for an extcn.
sion, nor been embarrassed. And
it is growing and doing better all
the time. The management has
been economical and prudent, and
there have been no official extrava-
gances, such as private palaces for
the officials to iunkct in. The Ohio
River road has n record in this re-
gard equaled by few other roads in

Last Saturday about two O'Clock
p. NJ. the barn OF Geo. Bing, some
two miles below Cheshire, was dis
covered to be on fire. but had oh
tanned such Roadway as TO prevent
saving either the building or CON
tents, and nearly all were destroyed.
The wind being in the direction of
the residence the summer kitchen
also took fire and was consumed.
By that time several neighbors had
arrived and went to work with II
will, and it was only by putting
forth their best efforts that the resi-
dence was saved. In addition to
the barn and kitchen Mr. Bing loses
by the fire one horse and colt, 500
bushels of corn, and buggy, one
Wagon, a grain drill, cultivator
and numerous smaller articles. We
learn that he had only $500 insur-

Trying to Full the Wool Over the PEG.


In trying TO bolsterup the iniquit-
on ro5ber tariff law, better known
as the Mckinley Bill, the Republic
can organs, seek every scheme, true
or false, that will furnish evidence
in its favor.
They try to show the farmer how
much he is benefited by the rise in
wheat, but don't explain to the labor
ing man, the mechanic and all 9TH
er consumers how the consequent
rise in -four is going to be benefit
to them.
They publish articles to show how
cheap things can be bought under
the new tariff law, regardless of the
fact that visit to any store in any
community will at once show the
utter falsity of their statements.
They publish with great gusto
news of the increase of wages in
away places, which news may
or may not be true, but they don't
point to any increased wages in
your own neighborhood.
1t is singular that wages have not
been increased, here at home. High
tariff ought to increase wages. 1t
should be the natural effect. 1t is
Il big help to the manufacturer
is bonus to him and he can at
ford to pay higher wages, ii he will,
but he wont. But as everything
consumed and used by the wage
Garner is increased by the tariff
which ought to raise wages, but in
stead wages are scaled down, and
all over the country strikes are in
augurated against these men who
are trying to reduce wages to the
starvation point.
Not long ago every Republican
newspaper in the land was point
ing with pride to the fact that as
the Mckinley law went into effect,
wages would increase, marufactu-
ring would spring up and all would
be prosperous and happy; bat the
reverse has been the result

The Peonle,s Parry.


The following is the principles
adopted by the Cincinnati confer
ence recently held:
First-That in view of the great
social, industrial and economical
revolution now dawning upon the
civilized world, aud the new living
issues confronting the American
people, we believe that the timc
has arrived for crystalizaiin of po-
litical reform forces of our country,
and the formation of what Should
be known as tile Peoples party of
the The United States of America.
Second-Thau we most heartily
endorse the demands of the platform
as adopted ut ST. Louis, Mo-, in 1889,
Ocala, Fla 1890 and Omaha, Neb.,
in 1891, by the industrial organiza-
lions there represented, summarized
as follows:
A-The right 10 make and issue
money is sovereign power to be
maintained by the people for the
common benefit, hence VIC demand
tic abolition of National banks as
banks OF issue, and us Il substitute
for National bank notes we demand
that legal tender treasury notes be
issued ia sufficient volume To con-
duct the business of the country on
u cash b,.sis; without damage or
especial advantage TO any class or
calling, such notes to be legal tend
er III payment OF all debts, public or
private, and such notes when de.
mandcd by the people shall be
loaned TO them at no more than
2 per cent. per annum upon nom
pcrishable products, as indicated in
the sub-treasury plan and also upon
real estate, with proper Limitation
upon the quantity OF land and
amount of money.
B-Wc demand the free and un-
limited coinage of silver.
Give demand the passage of
laws prohibiting alien ownership of
land, and that Congress Take
prompt action to devise some plan
to obtain all lands now owned hy
alien and foreign syndicates, and
that all lands held by railroads and
other corporations in excess of such
as is actually used and needed by
them be claimed by tie
government and held for actual set
tiers only.
D. Believing the doctrine of
equal rights to all and special privi-
lege to none we demand that taxa
Unconditional, Slate or Municipal-
shall not be used To build up one
interest or class ut the expense of
another.
Eve demand that all revenues
Stale or county-sh;ll
be limited to the necessary expenses
of the government, economically
and honestly administered.
Eve demand IL Just and cqui,a-
bic system OF graduated tax on in
come.
G-We demand the most rigid,
honest and just National control
and supervision of the means of
public communication and trans.
and if this control and
supervision does not remove the
abuses now existing we demand the
government owership of such com
and transportation.
= Hive demand the election of
President, Vice President and
United States Senators by Il direct
vote of the people.

What is a Cold

in the head? Medical authorities
say it is due to uneven clothing of
the body, rapid cooling when in u
perspiration, &c. The important
point is, that a cold in the head is
an Inflammation OF the lining en-
brane of the nose, which, when un-
checked, is certain TO produce u
catarrhal condition-for catarrh is
essentially u "cold" which nature is
no longer able to "resolve" or throw
of. Ely's Cream Balm has proved
It's superiority, and sufferers should
resort to it before that common all
ment becomes seated and ends in
obstinate catarrh.

The Issue In 500.

A gentleman writes TO ask VIII: t
the great national issue will be in
the next Presidential campaign.
We are not an adept in guessing
conundrums, and the question of
our correspondent is double deck
ed puzzle. Heaven only knows
what may happen in a twelvemonth
among a people who crowd the
events of century into a single
lifetime. Ii tendencies would re-
main as they are now, like so many
chips in an eddy, we should be
very glad to venture a prediction
But things get turned topsy turvy
and wrong side out with such
magic velocity nowadays that we
rather hesitate.
However, you will please to re-
member that the next House of
Representatives will be overwhelm-
ingly Democratic. You can there
fore wager "odds beyond arithme
tic that it will pay its respects to
the Mckinley bill at the earliest
opportunity. 1t is evident that the
country is increasingly restless
under the manifest hardships of
that measure. The working CLASSES
can't see why they should be over
taxed, and you have perhaps noticed
that business men are very cautious
about investments. If they thought
the Mckinley bill were here to stay
they would plant their money in
various enterprises aud pray for
profits. But nothing of the kind Is
being done in any part of the
country. We are characterized
by lack of commercial enthusiasm.
You can see traces of it everywhere
Well if the Democratic House il
the name of our business interest.
and the wage carners lower the
tariff, the Republicans in the Senate
will block the wheels of Legislation
and the President will stand bchinC
them.
In that case, there you are. Yor
have your issue. The people will
be called upon again to dccid
whether they want higher or lowe
taxes, and the party which repre-
sents their views will so into power
But, as We animated, the worl,
may burn up or be drowned out be
fore 1892. The only thing to do i
to wait patiently, and if you haven
committed suicide or died of III
grip you will then have an oppor
tunity to say your say at the ballo
box.-N. Y Herald.

CITRUS FAIR,

The ceiling at the pavilion is nearly
decorated, and the huge arch over the
stage will be ready for oranges and
other decorations Monday. The court
house in miniature was moved on the
stage yesterday, and it will be one OF
the prettiest sights ever seen on the
coast when finished. San Gabriel mis-
sion begins to show what it will be
when finished, and it will attract great
deal of attention.

explains itself, was received:

II. Jay Hanchette, Secretary Chamber of Com
merce, Los Angeles, California:
MY DEAR SIR-Your telegram OF even
date advising that your citrus fair has
been postponed one week, was duly re-
ceived. We trust that the extra time
which the postponement will give your
orange growers will be utilized by them
in making the fair grander and more
beautiful than was at first contemplated.
We had our arrangements all COM
pleted to leave here for Los Angeles
next Monday we have now concluded
to leave week from next Monday, and
we expect to arrive in Los Angeles Tues
day morning OF the 10th of March.
Our party will consist of officers of the
Marysville citrus fair association, Presi-
dent Rideout, Secretary Harvey, Man
ager Skinner, Superintendent Obrien,
and two newspaper men, Mr.. G. B.
Baldwin, of the Appeal, and some rep
resentatives of the other paper.
+ / will advise you further, regarding
our visit, next week. Yours very truly
