refused to say word aboutit. They said

THE MESSAGE.

Congress convened in regular ses.
sion last Monday, and the President
presented his long but interesting
message. He heartily endorses the
Wilson Bill, but counsels modera-
tion. Mr.. Cleveland says that tariff
reform must proceed, and the free
admission of raw materials is neces-
sary to manufacturers in the country.
The Hawaiian affair is handled in q
brief manner in which it is intimated
that The dethroned Queen has been
wronged and that this wrong must be
undone. A special message on this
subject of wide interest will be sent
in later. In regard to pensions:. he
says only the undeseving will suffer.
Mr.. Cleveland sill favors civil SER
vice. The message is a ,lps effort
and stamps its writer as true Dem-
ecrat of wide and liberal views. @

VICIOUS ATTACKS.

1t Is to be regretted Of the narrow
mindness prevailing among certain
number of Mississippi editors who
are boldly denouncing President
Cleveland in every form and manner
and abusing those OF the Democratic
parry who put him in office. These
papers, who claim to guide their
readers in Democracy's spotless path,
are nothing but sheets of Populite
character under disguise, and we do
hate noting more than such littleness
and narrow-minded proceedings. Not
many moons have elapsed since these
now venimous papers hoisted up at
their flag staff the name of the peer.
less Grover Cleveland, for president
Of the United States, and evidently
worked in a conscientious way for
the success of their nominee. You
wanted him; after having received.
him you now fail TO recognize him.
1t is true the country has suffered
severely ever since Mr.. Cleveland
was elected, but no good Democrat
can lay any claim of such existence
upon the Presiden. if he did fail to
, avert the recent crisis. Remember,
four years previous to the restoration
of pure and unstinted administra-
tion the country had been, unfortu-
nately, in the evil hands of the now
opposing party and to Immediately
undo the inevitable results of '1bil-
lion dollar legislation void had
been wholly beyond human power.
What it took Harrison g., Co. four
years to accomplish could not in q
few months be undone, MI. Cleve-
land and his administration is not de-
serving of the criticism made by the
editors of certain number of our
Mississippi contemporaries who have
no solid grounds for such vicious at
tacks. Grover Cleveland is the pure
type Of grand man in every sense
of the word-honest and fearless,
staunch and courageous, bold and
aggressive Of the principles of the par
ty he so ably represents. or him
no man say evil, and il the country
has been tlIed of late it does not re-
fleet on him. He has already caused
to reflect from the horizon of the
future beacon like blaze of prosper
ity, extending its luminous rays uni
versally over the land.

TelI the Truth Abont tho south.


The period is close at hand when
the South may receive the benefit Of
a large amount Of outside capital.
There are many reasons, as we have
before stated, for believing that,
with business restored to its normal
conditions, this section will attract
the attention Of many capitalist who
have never dared risk their funds
below Mason and Dixon's line. In
hundreds, it might be said in thou
sands, of cases the aluring pictures
of The west, with its field Of golden
grain, cities built in month and its
apparently boundlcss retources, that
their paper has been met, and that
the stock they have In their yards is
all paid for, so they can afford to
hold 1t for prices that are satisfacto-
ry. IL prices had been allowed TO
decline, the hardwood market would
be in pretty bad shape instead of on
firm basis.
Prices having been so firm when
the situation was SO discouraging,
it does not seem possible for them
to decline when the outlook is so fa-
vorable. There being nothing due
on stock, 1t can be held indefinitely,
If nnoessary, for there is always
enough trade to bring in a little
money. If there is going to be any
picking up in demand it must come
soon. When the demand makes it
self felt 1t will be a poor time to cut
prices, for it will come In season
when it is not very profitable TO ship
the stuff from the country, and stocks
in cities having been reduced on ac-
count Of the low prices and brisk
'emand, new stock would bring still
lower prices because of its condition.
Not as many mills north or south
are running as at this time Of year.
The accumulation of stocks has not,
therefore, been so large. Although
considerable stock is being offerd by
manufacturers, only small portion
of it Is going for low prices. The
manufacturers as well as the whole
sale dealers fully realize that there
has got to be change, which will
quicken the demand. Money is get
ting mere easy in the cities. As the
effects of hard times is first felt in
the cities, so Is the improvement first
noticed there. The country gets It's
taste Of depression when the cities
have seen the turning point and are
beginning to have better trade. 1t
is as If the surface of smooth body
oi water Is Delng disturbed by some
thing thrown into it. The point
where the object strikes is greatly
agitated and the ripples, constantly
growing weaker, extend from the
expended its strength. The centre
mas become quiet resuming its nor
mai conditions, while the surround
ing surface is gradually becoming
smooth again. There is a bright
outlook for the hardwood trade, with
aprobaoility rather OF increased than
OF lower prices before next July.
