HiilnAx's DREAM.


The dealer played on Inspection rules;
The miliman sat and listsned,
For the dealers strains gave the milman pains
And the tears on his Arelids glstened. >
"Oh! stop awhile" thsen eniIimsn begged;
But the dealer said, "Oh, no;
get pay for the tunes I play"
And the millman said, "Oh, no"
"lf you get paw for tunes you play,
know you will play till yen drop.
You'll spoil your health in your race for wealth,
So IN pay you high 10 stop"
"If you only will inspect at the mill,
On national inspection rules,
I'll give to thee a ROYAL fee,
And a card Of the s-Cat lIoos."
"The dealer said, "Your offer Is made
In . spirit that's very kind;
Your rules will be hard on my lumber yard,
But I'll accept, IL you do not mind"
The millman paid the fee that he said
Was very reckless and rash,
With delivered rate and small rebate,
For the payment on shipments in cash.
Now the dealer sits with the Hoo.IIoo kits,
To watch the prices rise;
With rules that are national, and likewise ra
tional,
| The millman wiped his eyes.

Columbus Dispatch.
The Columbus Dispatch article head
ed "A Crying Evil" Is attracting
attention everywhere by all persons
interested IN seeing publicity given to
all acts OF public Officers and to the
sale Of all properties by OfIlcers Of the
law. Should Gov. Stone give permits
sion, Hon. J. J. Wade has expressed
willingness to introduce and work for
q bill to remedy the Crying Evil"
alluded to.-New Albany Gazette.
The Dispatch Is glad to see that
others besides itself, are taking an ag-
gressive stand on this line. For several
years past this paper has given utter
ancc tn similar opinions in regard to
the publication of legal business AMI
to the matter Of county printing. No
greater injustice exists to-day In
Mississippi.
First In regard to legal publication,
II IS not alone an injustice to the pub
fishers and proprietors Of newspapers
to be thus cheated out Of their just
deserts by the picayunish custom Of
pasting notices on bulletin boards,
but II Is an injustice to the people
themselves who have right to de-
mand that all such matters be gwen
full publicity. The ends Of the law
arc not fully subserved by the pasti0g
up Of one or two notices ola legal sale.
In the first place seven-cights Of tho
people who ought tn see them do not;
or in numerous instances such notices
are torn down by ruthless parties be-
fore any one has seen or read them.
Publication in a newspaper would
serve double end-give full publicity,
and prevent the tearing down Of any
notices.
Second, the fact no law exists In
this State requiring county printing
to be done at home Is an evidence that
we are just that far behind the age.
Other States have laws bearing fully
and explicitly on both these points,
and In those States you find newspa-
pcrs making living, and the public
setafcadable papers. Its . shane
. thata little five or ten dollar Job Of
: printing has to go clean to Nashville
Q or St. Louis. The home offices are not
4 even ''in itr on . bid. Why don't they
send over there when they want q
\ bridge built, or to buy food and cloth.
!. ing for the prisoners, or to have 4
!. piece Of repairing done On the coaft
q house or jail. 1t is not the amount
: involved, so much as the principle Of
4 the tcings. We have seen county
r blanks that could be printed at any
cross roads office In the State, bearing
+ lG. d. Barnard & Co.'S imprint.
, This is a grieyOus wrong to the
= newspapers Of mississippi, and II they
Y will only half way try, by raising
y their voices In concert against It, We
r believe that our next legislature can
be induced to pass laws remcdying the
EVIL.

In the English pitch pine trade the
London Timber Trades Journal hears
that sales are being freely made Of the
new timber, on the basis OF 49s and
sos for 35 feet average, and the season
may now sald to be In full swing for
Southern wood. Freights rule mod
crate, and the demand seems princi-
pally to run on the smaller class OF
vessels engaged in this trade.
There would no doubt be frecr ship
mcnts to England but for the rigid
European inspection rules, any trivial
variation from which by the shippers
opens the way to dlspu tation and3lti'
cation, subjectlng the shipper to loss.
The arbitration for reclamation, being

buyer, Is too.far away from the seller,
who practically has 20 voice in the
adjustment. Our English cousins
have sort Of sterotyped criticism Of
Yankee ''sharp practices" but the
''dodges" worked on the American
shipper by the foreign buyer suggest
the application Of the proverb about
people who live in glass houses. The
safest plan for the shipper Is to know
his European customer, and have .
distlact understanding, especially as
to the matter Of inspecting.
Our Southern pine Is gradually gain

In looking over an old issue of the
Western Rural published iu 1898, we
came across the following article un.
der the above capitation, and II what
was said then was true, Is Is doubly
80 now:
"One Of our exchanges that favors
the stoppage Of silver coinage remarks
that silver Is kept at par and circu-
lates beside gold because Of its debt
paying power, and that whenever It
exceeds In quantity the demand for
debt p1sp0scs, It's circulation and the
circulation Of gold cannot be main
taIned. There arc two very nOticca-
bic features In this statement, and
the first Is that 1t Is the legal tender
characteristic Of money that makes It
valuable; and the second Is, that as
men are necessarily in debt most Of
the time, silver and gold may always
circulate side by side. Ifsilver can
be maintained at par, under such cir
cumstances, there Is no more to be
said on the subject, for money Is never
used for any other purpose, In Ord'nry
business transactions, than to pay in
dcbtedness. People are all the time
running In debt. When they buy
grocerlcs they contract debt; when
they buy clothes they become debtors ;
II they buy IA farm they owe for 1t
until it Is paid for; and it Is because
Il silver dollar will and always has
bought as much as any other dollar
that it circulates ut par and always
will.
!, The people OF the United States
have never found any fault with the
silver dollar. The only fault that the
masses have found Is that they cannot
get silver dollars or any other dollars
: to the extent that our commerce de-
mands. The governmen oiiicials have
been growing about the incumbranc'
Of silver ever since the recOinage com
Z menccd. They have said steadily tina
I it will not circulate. This is false
T 1t is circulating all the time
!. Ninc-tcnths OF the money used In or
a dinary commerce in this city Is silye
:. as every one knows wbo tenders aflv
d or ten dollar bill In payment TO
q goods. 1t must circulate as It Is til
only small money that we have, exceI
II q few small bills that the conspirac.
., against the peoples money have bee
p unable to get hold Of. But the go'
u crnment itself does not try to circu
late silver. Why does not I'll
0 government pay its balances ut til
o banks Ia silver coin? Its not difiicul
e to answer that question. The answt
d Is because the banks do not want j
" and the government does just wha
7. the banks want done. As long a
silver is circulating right along and 4
It long as the government does not tt
'c to circulate 1t, let 1t stop talkin
It about the unpopularity Of the sllve
