1t is unquestionably true that the
Democratic party stands before
the American people a discredit-
ed political organization, says
the Springfield Republican, which
yet goes on to argue that the new
bill is better measure than the present
law. The Providence Journal, which
has also been violent Mugwump paper.
takes very different view, and shows
that while some duties will be lowered
to the extent of a saving of over $62. 600
900 to the people-supposing such savings
go to the people, there has been in
other duties an aggregate increase of
nearly $92.oo0.oo0. According to the
Providence Journals figures the new
bill is thirty millions of dollars worse
than the present law. This comparison
was called forth by rather disineenu-

John Quincy Adams, whose death was
announced yesterday, although bred to
the law, preferred the profession of a
farmer. 1t may be doubted whether he
ever toiled very hard himself in the corn
fell. but he really loved the soil. His
farm in Quincy is said to be a fine ex-
ample o. wise and profitable agriculture,
He also took the part of a good citizen
serving as roadmaster and chairman of
the school committee, in each of which
positions he was successful in making
improvements of value to the town. AL
though elected to the Legislature and a
candidate Tor Governor, Mr.. Adams can
not be said, in politics, to have justified
the expectations of the family. This
may not have been wholly due to lack of
ambition on his part. Originally Free
Soiler and an early Republican, he be-
came Democrat in Reconstruction DAYS.
For Democrat there has not, until re-
cent days, been much in Massachusetts.
The Adams family has often been classed
with the Lees of Virginia, for examples
of continued family eminence. The
Adams family properly begins with John
Adams, second President. Johns father
had been selectman of Bralntree and
deacon, and was worth moderate for.
tune, SO that his son, on graduating from
Harvard stood fourteenth in his class
For in those days, (1755) Harvard grad
yates were ranked on commencement
day according to the social standing vof
their parents. John Quincy Adams also
became President, the only instance of
father and son holding the office. He
also returned to the House of Represen-
tatives after being President, became
the "old man eloquent" and fell dying
on the floor of the chamb Der. The next
in line, Charles Francis Adams, was
eminent in politics and as our able min
lister to England during the Rebellion.
The deceased John Quincy was the eldest
son of Minister Charles Francis. That
he was not more eminent is probably
due to the TACT that he was Democrat
during years when he should have made
his mark as a statesman. He was hon.
ored and trusted by that party; but it's
strength was never SUI fficient to advance

The position of Senator Arthur Pue
German, of Maryland, is so anomalous
that his future career will furnish an
instructive lesson in politics. A Wash
lngton correspondent, writing of him,
says that probably no great party leader
in Congress has ever. engaged in warfare
against other party leaders so one-sided
and. unpromising, and emerged from the
struggle with anything like Mr.. Cor
mans sNapoleonic success His astonish-
ing victory over tie seemingly irresisti-
bic strength of his great rival in the
White House, restores him once more to
the undoubted supremacy in party
leadership which he seemed to have lost
for time after the disastrous failure
OF his silver-purchase compromise of last
October. He has shown that he must
now be reckoned with as the most DO
tential influence within the Demo-
cratic party and as one of the really
dominanJ forces in American politics..
Mr.. Germans feat has been the gather
ing about him of small band of Sena-
tors. with whom, by skillful tactical
combinations, he has succeeded in block
ing the way of the WI ole Democratic
party. He has simply played the part of
the dog in the Manager. Can a man
who has thus treated great party
retain its confidence? Nowhere will sue
cess do more than in politics; but 1t
would seem that there are some things
which success cannot do even there. Mr..
Germans career may furnish an inter-
esting object lessonson this point.

DEAD BEATS.

II there is one thing tha. will
thrive and prosper under any and all
conditions that thing is Deadbeatism.
1t looms up after weeks snow fall
and a months freeze up with as
much alacrity and freshness as un-
der the invigorating showers OF
April. 1t wants no attention, no cul-
tivation; it gets along very well by
itself. Every community has its
dead beats and how they spring up
nobody knows. Deadbeatism Is a
clog upon the wheels of commerce.
IL keeps the merchant down, keeps
the town down and plays havoc gen.
orally. or course every man that
owes money is not deadbeat, there
are circumstances attending each
and every case by which we can dis
criminate. There are men who
would willingly pay their way in the
world but on account of i'll luck they
can't do it. That class ought not to
be scorned and we do not wish TO in
clude them as representatives of our
heading. The professional deadbeat
Is the stumbling block, he will beat
you at every turn. One need not
necessarily be poor man to become
a beat. Force of habit soon brings
out the qualities Of professionalism in
even the truest Of men.
1t Is the duty of the merchant and
everybody else who ia in business to
put an end 10 that kind of work, IL
he does not he becomes instrumental
in filling up Jail houses, penitentia-
ries and occasionally sends one or
two TO the gallows. Educate your
boy and girl to pay for what they
get, and they will make honest men
and good women, teach them that TO
order a newspaper and not pay the
subscription is as big thief as il he
had gone in the office at night and
stolen the type and presses, or to get
a collar and not pay for it is pure,
unadulterated stealing. Stop il! Ev-

Merely a Demagogue.

Hon. j. X. Vardaman, OF Lefiore
county, has formally announced him
self as a candidate for governor OF

ment is made in an interview printed
in the Jackson Clarlon-Ledger, as

"You may state positively, that am D

race now"

Commenting on the foregoing, the

State Of Mississippi is prohibited by
the constitution of the United States
from coming money, the world at
large would like TO know what Mr..
Vardaman's views as TO silver coinage
have to do with his fitness to perform
the duties of governor. II Mr.. Var
daman's silver views are the only
claims he has upon the governorship,
II would be well for the people of
Mississippi to look elsewhere for a
governor.

forward move on the part of the city

mitted that the action is meeting with
almost universal approval. The COL

serves. However, we applaud the
bravery Of the board in its JUST and

WHY NOT A HOUSE OF REFORM

The authorities Of Alabama are
creating an effort for State house
Of correction for the young within its
limits and the idea is such popular
one that it is gaming ground and the
example is likely TO be regarded by
other States that lack this necessity.
The work in Alabama at present con-
sists Of securing from the govern
ment possession of Mount Vernon
barracks recently made vacant by
the removal of the Indian chief
Geronimo and his followers, all pris.
oners OF war, and by the transfer of
soldiers from that place to Georgia.
The groun Is are spacious, the build
ings solid and roomy, and in prefer
ence to abandoning the place IN the
company of one lone guardian, 1t is
and would be much better for the
State to control the situation and
TO convert it into a house of correc-
tion, And Mississippi, too, should
have house of correction. The idea
OF sending tender, youthful miscre-
ants to a place where legal justice di-
reefs the resort of hardened crimi-
nails and causing this associotion is
a crime in itself. BY proper treat
ment the young can be made strong
and good, but tainted, purity cannot
be purged by mlngling with corrup.
tion, but will only live to perish. AT
the next term Of the Mississippi Leg
islatare It 10 TO be hoped that instead
OF enacting ridiculous and useless
laws and absurd Sunday observances
that characterized the last session,
that some step will be taken to rescue
the young prisoners from worse CON-
panions. Reform our wayward boys
and make men OF them.

OPEN THE COUNTRY,

A question of no little Importance
for the betterment of this section of
the county is one which envolves
much interest and has been dis
cussed for some time past, ,gand to
bring about the desired result will
cost nothing when compared to the
vast benefits to positively accrue
therefrom. That part of the county
known as Chautauqua, Kiln and Mo-
reau and vicinity is land rich in
productiveness but poof in popuIa-
tion owing to various Inconvenience
of reaching the outside world in per-
son. TO gain access to the outside
world means a big journey by water
and land AMI consumatlon of much
time, not to say the least of .he Eor-
ry occasioned by the journey. The
place abounds with innumerable adj
vantages that people with an eye to
their betterment, have located there
and it is understood that their lot is
good one and their means of living
splendid. Already home people and
strangers from the North and West
have made this section of the county
their home and express much pleas
ure at their conditions and surround
ings, but the great drawback and loss
10 Bay st. Louis as well Is, as men,
toned above, the lack of COMMUNE
cation by which to accomplish their
selling and buying. These people
do most of their shopping row in
Pass Chistian for the simple reason
that good roads lead there but the
big distance weakens the induce
ment and most people have the sail
boats that ply between New Orleans
and their homes TO make theii pur-
chases. Travelling communication
TO Bay st. Louis would be advanta-
geous and the money Of these people
would remain in the county. Now
the question is for road between
that and this place and would be s
and 10 miles the longest, and where
the marshes are Mr.. Mitchell pro-
mises to furnish the timber necessa-
ry for this, the worst part of the
proposed road, end other residents
along the line have slenified their In
tention TO give assistance and we are
reliably told that a number of Bay
st. Louis merchants have also pro-
missed assistance IL IL be necessary.
This section Of the county IS good
but will never be properly opened
and developed until good COM
munication be realized.
