EMPHATIC WORDS FROM
LORD ROSEBERY.
New York Herald.


New York Herald
Lord Rosebery put his foot down
very firmly IN The Huuse Of Lords
last night. England has succeeded
in Obtaining an important Adsant-
age in Africa, and judging froiA
the tone of her Prenicr's remarks
on the subject she is fully determin
ed to Keep it. Lnid Rosehc,y de-
clared that in making the Anglo
Belgian Hgreeriient the English gov
crnment had not desired to inter-
fere with otlier States, add cohse-
quently would not tolerate interior
encc by other States on any ground
whatever.
The note of triumph which,
sounds So strongly in this speech
is natural enough when the enor-
nous value of Engiand's latest
diiiluniatic achievement il 6oriie in
mind. When the agreement With
Germany was made in 1890 En-
gland strove hard TO obtain line
of communication between her
possessions in Southern Airic. and
the confines of Egypt. But she
failed to do the. The "wssp's
waist" was cut and wedge of
German territory was thrust in hc
tween the two British spheres in
the south and east:
Now, after years of patient Wait
ing and negotiation; England has
had Ler way: Her cOmmunica-
tons extend to-day from Cape
Town to Cairo, from one end Of
the DIRK Continent to the other:
1t is n great result to have effectedi
and Lord Rosebery may readily DO
psrdoned if he shows an inclins-
tion to swacger little about il.

AFFAIRS In HAW All.
Significance Of Admiral Walkers
Mission:

New York; June IA Wash
ington dispatch to the Herald says;
Full Significance OF Rear Admiral
Walker assignment 10 command
of the P..citic squadron; with his
headquarters at Hawaii, has at last
leaked utt. st Tie time his assign
meat was deter ihincd upon; infor-
nation came to the PRECEDENT that
the provisional government was liza
BILE 10 go to pieces at amy moment,
but the adherents of the deposed
Queen were plotting revolution,
and were only waiting for their
+ lans 10 mature 10 attempt to re
gain CONTROL of the government by
force:
1t WAS feared that this would
lead 10 a civil War and ahareliy.
that the provisional government
would be Unable to restore order
and that in their helpless condition
President Dulc and Ills advisers
would call upon Great Britain o.
Japan for assistance.
President Cleveland knew what
it meant in the Case the British ma
rines ard blue Jackets were landed
in Hawaii. He feared it would
take atout as long to ;estore order
in Hawaii as it has taken Great
Britain to "restore order" in Fgyp'.
Hawaii wunld Be practically under
British military control, and if Eng
land once had The upper hand the
United States would play but mi
nor psrl in any settlement to the
Pacific squadron.
Admiral Walker has sent several
interesting dispatches TO the presi
dent: lie has indnIged in some
very plain talk, which ia highly
characteristic of the man. In res
pectiul, but nevertheless unmistak
able Language, he has told the presi
dent that it would be absolutely i'm
possible TO restore the queen, and
that all thought in that direction
might as well be forever abandon
ed.

THE KEY TO THE BAsrILLE.

In the column Of Questions and An
swers Of the Courier-Journal appears
the following; which has been re-
ferred to the editor of the TINES by
one OF Its readers for elucidation:
Jouesboro, Tex Where is the key
to the Bastile! J.P.C.
The question shows that j. P. Q. has
been mixing fiction With history, not
only in his reading, but in bis UNDER
standing. A great deal is made of
the key to the Bastile In one of the
elder Dumas romanccs, but sober his
tory has no more TO say about this
key than about the iron grstings of
the windows, or any other fragment
of ironmongery that helped to make
the rubbish-heap into which the fa-
nous castle was converted
The answer shows that the Courier
Journals Smart Alec certainly hasn't
"mixed much history with his
fiction" In the Lafayette Memoirs
which is tolerably sober history sp-
pears the following copy of correspon-
dence from Lafayette to Washington
"Permlt me to offer you picture OF
the Bastille; such as 1t was after lis
demolition. | make you homage also
of the principal key Of this fortress Of
Despotism." The key was forwarded,
says the Memoirs, through the celebra-
ted Thos. Paine; who being detained,
forwarded II from London with let
ter announcing "that the principles Of
America opened the Bastille aud there
fore the key comes TO the right place.
Washington In reply wrote that It was
accepted "as token Of victory gained
by Liberty over DespotIsm.' This
was q hundred years ago and tho key
of the Bsstile has been exhibited to
the tens Of thousands of Mt. Vernon
pilgrims aud sight seers to this day.
In Carlysle's French Revolution
one OF the graudest and most wonder
full books Of the age-thc fact about
the key is thus eloquently stated: "Thc
key Of that robber den shall cross the
Atlantic; shall lie on Washlngton''
table. Vanished Is the Bastille, wha,
We call vanished; the body of 1t hang
ing iu benign metamorphosis over tn,
Seine waters, as Pont Louis Seize; tht
soul Of 1t living, perhaps still longer
In the memories Of men,"

corn and Cotton PRICES.

People who think that cotton prices
will not increase, may derive some COM
fort and encouragement from the man.
uer in which corn recupersied from
very low prices. A prominent railroad
man recently said:
al remember when the farmers OF
Illinois produced so much corn that
The price went down to six, seven,
eight and nine cents busheI, anc IL
was used for fuel, burned like coal, in
the Central Western States.
People said, "Oh. corn will never
come back to its old prices there 10
TOO much of 1t grown Next year II
was over forty cents bushel aud has
nsyer gone back to anything like q
ruipous price, though the production
has been multiplied q hundred
times" :,
And so It may happen with cotton.

NAV cause an advance In the price Of
cotton. M provided, Of course, the pro
duc,ion only Keep pace with the worlds

where's MY Hat 2
TDelta Advanced

For the first time In its history a
genuine cyclone visited Clarksdale
last Monday. About three o'clock p.
IN. a dark cloud was seen lowering
over the city aud knowing ones pre-
dlcted disaster coming. The predict
ion was only too true for In few
moments the wind blew terriiically
aud the rain fell In torrents. This con-
tinued fully ten minutes and evidences
of its destructive nature could be
seen all over the city. Circuit court
was in session at the time and the
court house was crowded with liti-
gants, lawyers and curiosity seekers.
There was general commotion when
some one announced the existence of
a cyclone all around them The
Judge commanded order but just then
one of the huge brick chimneys of the
court house and also the great flag
staff in the center of the building, fell
with q tremendous crash and the
judge forgot his former command aud
in the excitement of the occasion yell
led In loud voice "where Is my hat p
The jury that was listening patiently
to case under consideration got
srmewhat excited also in the general
scramble. About the time the judge
hollered for his bat sn old negro
juror said In a pitiful voice "Marse
judge you had better rub out and
commence all over again, Use done

adjourned Immediately aud all ell.

which they did after the storm had

Great damage was done by the wind
in the city. The compress was almost
demolished. The huge smoke stack
of the oil mill was blown down and
the roof badly damaged.

what VIII IL Cost?

A force of hands was put to work
yesterday evening unloading steel rails
on to fiat cars for distribution on the
Little j road. II Is a bigger job to
widen the gauge Of railroad than
most people think. There is an I'm.
mense amount Of work to be done,
aud 1t will take considerable money
to make the change. Just as q starter
II will take 900 car loads Of rails to
complete the job. This one Item In
itself represents q good round sum Of
money; more probably than many OF
us will ever have together at one time
In all our lives.
About 150 men will be employed
on the job for at least five weeks at
tho lowest calculation aud probably
longer. The item of labor will rep.
resent from $4,000 to $4,000, quite a
neat little SUN Of money. There arc
other items Of expenses to be added
which will make the Improvement
cost pile of money. When the gauge
Is widened the Little J trains will run
into the union depot. II 10 the ides
of the officials 10 bring trains in by
the compress aud then run into the
union depot on the main line.
This Improvement has been made
hundred times or more on paper, but
at last 1t is reality, and scon the mar
row gauge road will be a thing Of tie
pa,t In Jackson.--Evening News.

Cleyeland's Mins,rels attracted a

Cleveland's Minstrels attracted a
large audience at the st. Charles
Theatre last night, aud II one might
Judge by the enthusiastic applause
which greeted nearly every number of
the very long programme, the en-
gagement promises to be more than
ordinarily successful one. With so
many distinct features and so many
numbers upon which to pass judg-
ment, II would be almost impossible
successfully to enter into an accurate
detailed criticism. AS q whole the
entertainment appeared to thorough
ly please the large audience, aud as a
whole Il appeared to be quite up to
the average of minstrel entertain
ments, besides presenting many points
wholly new IN that line of business.
The first part, which was Of the usual
character, showed average merit, while
the rich draperies and the Worlds
Fair panorama, with It's constantly
changing pictures, furnished a strik-
ingly handsome and taking back
ground. In this part the leading per-
formers were Benedict, Nolan, Lyons,
Hylsnd, Carmody, Ward, Winter.
The olio part of The programme include
ed many laughable features, while the
high kicking aud acrobatic perform
auces of the Crawfords was deserved
ly admired. The musical features in-
troduced by the Waterbury brothers
we're we'll received, and perhaps the
most meritorious of the specialties
was the tightrope balancing by Frank
Appel Tlmes-Democrat.

A sweeping reduction Of salaries
took place In the elevated road Of
Chicago the other day, aud what was
most remarkable and laborers and
cmployes we're untouched. II was
discovered that expenses were too
high, and the directors decided that
the officers salaries must come down.
The salary of the president was re-
duced from $4,000 to $4,000. The
vice presidents salary was reduced
from $4,000 to $4,000, and be was re-
quired to take up the duties Of gener-
al ticket agent to earn 1t. The treasur-
er was cut from $4,000 to $4,000, and
oil the other officers we're docked In
the same way; but the conductors,
engineers and other employees get The
same pay as before. This is q very
unique proceeding, aud probably with
out parallel in the country. Most re-
ductlons begin at the other end.

THE soUfH's UNEMPLOYED.

The following from the woodyIIls
Republican is a hint in the right direc-
tion. An application local to Green.
Vile would be healthfnl:
"Our attention has been called 10 the
fact that there is In Woodyille con.
siderable class OF idle persons, without
visible means of support, supposed to
number from thirty to fifty of both
sexes. A year or two ago the Repub-
lican called the attention OF the com,
munity to the same fact as II then OK.
listed, but no active steps were taken
to rid the town Of these male and
female loafers. While these people
are not openly vicious or amensble
to the law because Of open wroug,
doing, they will not work. They must
i've, however, and 1t Is self evident
that they can do so only from the labor
OF those who do work. They are par.
ssites upon the body Of the commuul.
ty aud should be got rid Of, In a sum.
mary way II necessary. Idleness leads
to vice and crime. A community oil
one thousand persons should not sup.
port indirectly, or permit to be sup.
ported, such a gang of able bodied
non producers and idlers. Other
towns, we hear, have been forced tc
take measures to clean out this para
site class of people from their pre-
cincls and we suggest that the time
has come when 1t would be right fol
our people TO consider this matter
And If the facts are such as we have
reason to suppose and have hert
stated, then 1t Is time to make the idlt
adults, male aud female, get work OF
get out, and not stand upon the order
OF their going"
While Greenville has not coutribu
ted quota to Coxey's army of unem
ployed, II is not from want of stead
lily increasing unemployed class. Fol
years past there has been q regula
drift Of plantation tenants to town
A very large portion Of the sccretiou
especially Of late years, has been re

ries running, with all manner Of bust
ness which gives employment to da.

emily thrive aud grow In numbcrI
All the growth of the town for tn
past two or three years has been 4
shsnties, which now hang around th'
entire town.
1t would not be labor lost II th
authorities would take some note o
this problem. An enforcement Of To

Running Negroes Out Of New Jersey.

The Law -and- Order League of New
Brunswick, N. j., has notified a num-
Der of negro families to leave the
place or take the consequences. They
say that these negroes are disrespect-
ful, impudent and lazy, and nuisance
to the neighborhood. They loaf
around the country stores at oil times
of the day and evening, occupying the
chairs, sitting on the counters and dis
cussIng all sorts of topics, to the ex.
clusion and disgust of the farmers and
buyers.

The value Of The gold In any case
may be found by multiplying the num-
Der of ounces by 2067. These figures
are about $7,OOO,OO0 less than the ag-
gregate values reported by the agents

has been unable to trace the full amount
