Invention of the Commas.

The valuable invention of the com.
pass is involved in mystery and it's real
discoverer Is unknown. Lafiteau, in
his history of Portuguese discovery
in the new world, says that Vasco da
Cana brought it to Lisbon from the
coast of Africa on his return from Mel
india, where the Arabs then used it, and
he believed the Portuguese to have been
until then ignorant of it. Some, says
an exchange, attributed it to Flavia
Gioja, of Amalphi, about the year 1902:
while others again are of opinion that
the invention is due to the Chinese, and
that one of their emperors, celebrated
astrologer, was acquainted with 1t /, 40
years before the Christian era; nor have
others again been wanting who have
supported the opinion that it was known
in the time of Solomon. The ancient
Greeks and Romans are also supposed
by some to have used it, but the silence
of their historians on this subject rem
ders this statement doubtful.-Mechan-
ical News.

An IInneat Customer.

A man who had an inf1rmity as well
rs an appetite for fish was anxious to
keep up his character for honesty.
While making bill with his merchant
and when the latter's back was turned,
the ''honest" buyer slipped a Goldfish
under his coat. But the garment was
too short
"Now," said the customer, anxious to
improve all the opportunities to call at
'tention to his virtues, Mr.. Merchant,

and have paid you honestly, haven't ~"
'Oh, yes" answered the merchant.
"Well," said the customer, II believe
that honesty is the best policy"
''That's So" replied the merchant;
and the customer turned to 60. Hold
on, friend!" cried the merchant "Speak-
ing of honesty, l have bit of advice:

better wear q longer coat or steal q

The Democratic and P0pullst Factions
Striving For Mastery.
Me MPHIs, Tenn, Nov. 1.-THE Ma
tional Farmers Alliance and Industrial
union was in executive session all day
and the press censors had little to give
out Since adjournment, however, it
has been learned that the two elements,
democrats and populists, are still strug-
Cling for the mastery, and it was
learned that some acrimonious discus
sions were INDUCED in.
The populist element seems dominant
at present and is seeking to GUST Mr.. ].
p. Tillman, of this state, a member of
the national executive committee. Mr..
Tillman's offense is that after his coad-
jutators had sent 200 official circulars
advocating the election of Gen. Weaver
he used his stationery and official posi-
ton to send out an equal number of
circulars advocating the election of
Cleveland Mr.. Tillman was also gen.
eral manager of the National Literary
bureau, and the charges amount to a
breach of faith.
us tCbbCE was IN C41SCg bntJ
alliancemen could not hope for the
election of Gen. Weaver; that they
should support Mr.. Cleveland and thus
defeat the force bill Mr.. Tillman does
not deny the charge, but rather boasts
of it AS democrat, he said, he did
only what the third party members of
the organization had done in assisting
their side. An investigation of Mr.
Tillman's conduct was at one time pro-
posed, but later in the day other tactics
were adopted.
Mr. Tillman's term of Office as execu-
tive member continues another year,
and it was thought impossible to legis-
late him out of Office. The condition
was changed to-day and another execu-
tive board must be elected. This
throws out c. w. Macune also, and
members claim that it is clear trump
for the populite wing and insures the
election of Mr. LouclSs, the present
president The fractional leaders, John
Mcdowell and ]. F. Tillman, spoke
freely in the presence of an Associated
press reporter, and each accused the
other of official dereliction. To-day's
session will likely witness the combat
md its termination.

EXTRA SESSION TALK.

Senator Carlisle AID Representative VIII.
son Make suggestions.
| WASHINGTON. Nov Ex-senator Car
/ isle was in Washington yesterday. He
put aside the talk of his going into the
cabinet as thing not to be discussed
ut all. Speaking of the prospect of an
extra session he said that it was ALSO
lutely impossible TO say whether or not
there would be an extra session. II
would all depend upon conditions not
yet developed and which in the ma
ture of things could not develop UNI
til later on. lie had seen Mr.. Cleve-
land before leaving New York and was
satisfied that it was not possible for him
to tell yet what would be done.
IF there is an extra session." he
said, ut will probably not meet till
late in the fall. 1t depends upon cir
cumstances The tariff alone will not
furnish sufficient reason for an extra
session. The financial affaii Of the
government may be in such shape as to
make an extra session imperative. 1t
appears probable that we shall find
that there is not enough mony in the
treasury for the needs of the govern
ment. There is situation in the treas
ury which every thoughtful man
who has considered the matter has fore
seen. There is an accumulation OF de-
ficiencies and obligations that have
been contracted and will come over to
us. 1t may be that this situation will
furnish reason enough why an extra
session should be called. We shall have
to see what congress does at this ses-
sion. If they do not repeal the Sher-
man law relating to the purchase Of
silver and take such other action us the
situation demands, we may be swamped.
Upon these things depend the calling
of an extra session.
II cannot see the need of an extra
session for any other reason, but of
course have nothing to say about that.
If Mr.. Cleveland does not favor it that
settles the question. As to tariff legis-
lation, think the party will go slowly
and be governed by wise counsels Mr..
Depew and Mr. Reid say they are
in favor of giving the democrats
chance to go ahead at once with
their reform programme, and that
would seem to mean that they
would like to see some tariff legislation
at the coming session of congress.
Nothing would give me greater salts
faction than to see the senate take up
the bills that were passed by the house
last winter and put them through.
That would be at least a beginning and
the sooner we begin the better"
The other view of the case was taken
by Representative Wilson, of West Vir-
ginia, the chairman of the last national
democratic convention, who before
leaving Washington to-day for New
York said:
1.-THE true worth and value of tariff
bill cannot be tested in short time
and the first effects appear sometimes
to be- what they really are not think
it would be most impolitic to place
new tariff bill before the country just
previous to the elections of 1894. There
is reason to favor the extra session idea,
and think the sooner the proposed
tariff changes goiuto effect the better

The Appropriation for P%astagOula River
Not Properly Expended.
Editor Democrat. Star

Editor Democrat. Star:
The expenditure of the last appro.
priaiion for P%ascagoula river, if car
riel out as begun, will result IN no
benefit to navigation on said river.
The last appropriation gave out be.
fore the deep water channels of the
river and hay were conHcctcd, leav-
ing about forty yards of sand and
shells with a depth of about 7 IL #.
of water Oh it, about 800 yards above
the Lighthouse. If said forty yards
OF sand and shells were cleaned out
we would have a depth at ordinary
tide Of 10 IL feet of water.
Now, as the rumOr goes, the pres
cnt contract calls for all soft bottom,
and consequently does not cover this
forty yards of obstruction described.
Query: Is it possible that the en-
ginccrs in charge do not know The
situation, after spending so much of
every appropriation to survey the
rive? or can 1t be that there is meth
in such madness. If every appro.
pria'ion could be spent under the d.
OF a board of pilots who ply
