The newspaper men of Mississippi
must protect themselves in the next
election for members of the State leg
islature. Measures must be adopted
by the legislature of this State 1T it's
next meeting for the protection of the
newspaper men, and the only way to
secure these measures is to elect such
men as are pledged to help pass them.
The newspaper men will be the first
ones that will be called upon to help
elect these members, and the press of
the State must unite for it's own pro-
Observation-Disclosures Times.
The recent legislature did all in its
power to cripple the newspaper bus
ness. although in nine cases out of ten
the members were the creatures of the
county press. The press should not
forget this ingratitude, and should
any of the present members desire to
be returned refuse to support them.
Mr.. Scudder. of Issaquena county, was,
we believe, the only friend the news
papers had in the recent legislature,
and when it comes to apportion out
! the fat Offices he should rot be over
looked. Let the press throughout the
State unite on this proposition and it
will ultimately be fairly dealt with.
Tnnica Independent.
Unfortunately, the newspapers have
been ''hewers of wood and drawers of
water for candidates, till officials and
Legislators seem to think they have a
sort of presumption, or proprietorship
in the entire press. and it will be the
hardest sort of work to convince them
to the contrary. The newspapers are
more to blame for it than the candi-
dates. We all work for the candidates,
the latter are elected. and then--for-
getfulness is the order of the day.
Hundreds and thousands OF dollars
worth of work that might be done at
home, is sent out of the State every
year by county officials. and the men,
bers of the legislature seem to regard
it as crime or a high misdemeanor
to pass any act. that might possibly
throw crumb to the papers that adj
vocated their claims to the very seats
they occupy. We hope the Press Con-
vention will take some action on the
subject. embracing both job work aud
advertising, and especially the an
nouncement of candidates. Here in
this District, for instance. we charge
ten dollars for announcing candidates
for Congress. In other Districts the
price is SIS. Yet. some of our ex-
changes are doing it for 81 30! 1t is
their business, not ours, but chickens,

With this issue Of the paper, we
close the eleventh volume, ending
April 26th. Seventeen years ago we
commenced tho publication of paper
at this place under adverse circum-
ances with very little hope of sue
cess. The patronage of the paper has
not been overly large, but sufficient TO
keep the publisher supplied with the
necessaries of life-not the Injuries.
During this time, we have witnessed
many changes in Iuka and the sur
rounding country-a great many of
the old citizens have passed over the
river, and but few remain who were
here when We first commenced ousi-
ness. 1t has never been our aim in
life to blacken the character of any
person, not even to offer an insult by
II harsh word; for years we have la
bored for the upbuilding of Iuka and
its surrounding country. We have
advised our patrons to the best Of our
ability in things we thought to be to
their advantage. We have labored
hard and earnestly for the success of
the Democratic party and have never
wavered in this in it's darkest hours,
but ever stood out boldly in its de-

4 Fear That England Is Trying to Estab-

Violation of the Clayton ulwer
Treaty-Mr. Bakers Report.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March s.-The
resolution of inquiry concerning the
British at Bluefelds, which was intro
duced by Mr.. Morgan yesterday, was
the result of the discussion on this SUBJ
ject by the senate foreign relations
committee at it's meeting yesterday
morning. There is an apprehension in
the minds of senators that the English
government is making an effort to OBJ
tain footing on the eastern coast Of
the Isthmus in violation of the Clayton
Bulwer treaty, and the action of the
committee is directed toward securing
whatever. information the state depart
ment may have on the subject. SEN
ator Morgan is especially jealous of
any movement on the part of foreign
government which might affect the
Nicaraguan canal, and probably moth
ing could happen to give him greater
concern than for England to secure a
foothold in that region.
Senator Morgan said in reply to a
question as to the purpose of the reso
luton that he had no information upon
the subject except such as he had OBJ
tanned from the newspapers, in which
he had seen statement that the Brit
ish were at Bluefelds for the purpose
of interfering with the sovereignty of
Nicaragua over the Mosquito coast.

''that the fact that the Kearsage was
headed in that direction had any sig
nifcance?"
what was she going there FORE" was
the response. ''Of course" he added,
II don't know that such was the case,
but it looks like it"
So far the department of state has
made no request upon the navy depart
ment to send a man-of-war to Blue
fields.
The department. of state later re-
ceived telegram from U. S. Minister
Baker at Managua, Nicaragua, stating
that British troops have been landed az
Bluefelds, near the Nicaragua canal,
and urges that a U. S. vessel be sent
there at once.

Hold ut tho Same Timo In One Room and

All the San Francisco men about
town who play cards are talking about
the two remarkable hands held few
evenings ago at the Pacifc-U Union club,
and the doctrine of chances is being
calculated to ascertain how soon such
coincidence might be expected to
happen again. The general belief, ac-
cording to the Examiner, is that no
such hands were ever held simultan-
eous1y before since poker was first
played, and that no one now living
will ever see them SO held again. For
the benefit of the truly good it NAV be
stated that a royal flush is the highest
hand in poker. 1t consists Of q &C.
quence of ace, king, queen, knave and
ten in any one suit. AS may be sup
posed, the appearances of this hand
are like the visits of angels and not
much more frequent than dentition in
hens. Considerable poker is PLAYED at
the Pacific Union, but a royal flush had
not been seen in months until the oc-
currence of the other night. There are
four tables in row in the poker-room
at the club. -Four men were sitting at
each OF the two middle tables. AT
identically the same time one Of the
players at each of the two table held q
royal flush in diamonds. And as If this
coincidence were not sufficiently un.
usual, each Of the lucky two got his
hand in exactly the same way, getting
the ace, king, queen and knave on the
deal and the ten spot on the draw.
One only won thirty five dollars on his.
hand, but the winning Of the other
was SO big that he has kept the exact
amount to himself, SO as not to excite
