POwderly's Indictment.

Examining the records of Grim
inal legislation, or legislation en-
acted to prevent and punish
crime, we find that liquor and IL
quor alone has wet the roots of
the laws which occupy four-ffths
of the space on the statutes. The
plot of nearly every murder is
laid in saloon; the first step of
the burglar, of the ouse-burner
and of the one who outrages vir-
tue is, in a majority of cases, TAX
en- from the saloon bar to the
scene of action; and when we en-
ploy careful accountants to go
over the items of expense from
the first drink of liquor to the
hangman's fee we find that labor
pays for all, industry suffers for
all and those depending ON labor
mourn for all. Most assuredly
the "saloon is the foe to indus
try" and by industry | mean
more than labor; l mean the State
itself, for industry in this land is
the State. 1t includes the en-
ployer and the employed, for in
dustry embraces both, and both
suffer through the saloon.-T. V.

MISSISSIPPI, TUESDAY. FEBRUARY 90 1894
OUR FISHERMAN.

Grover stood on Wall Streets deck,
Making money by the peck;
The people called, he would not go,
Because he loved the money so.
One day lie went to Buzzard's Bay,
But all the same he drew his pay;
He sat him down upon the shore,
AS he had often done before.
The day was bright, the sun was warm,
The farmers all were plowing corn;
The fish were sly and would not bite,
Although he fished with all his might.
Said Grover, II swow, do not ken,
Why fish have got more sense than men;
For men will bite at any bait,
If you'll 'cuss' the party that they hate.
81 cannot see why good live worm,
Is not more tempting than our plat
form;
Yet fish ignore the tempting meal,
While men support with fiery zeal.
Nov, fish, l think, are very nice,
So I'll try this little bottle shaped de-
vice.
It's been tried on men and always won,
I think, now, I'll soon catch one.
THE bait, you see, is in plain sight,
Like an office, in political fight,
1T is so near and yet SO far
There, dad gum me, I've caught a Gar
swell, this is the way in politics,
You often get some right poor sticks.
This Gar is bad, but 1illman's worse,
And Sterling Morton has been curse
Il always keep my bait in sight
When fishing, or in a political fight,
And use as little of it as 1 can
catching fish or fooling man.
Hungry fish have less prudence,
And hungry men have less good sense;
With worms for one and offices for the
other,
l make them love me like mother"

The Financial and Industrial
Condition.

The financial condition and the
industrial condition of the coun-
try present striking contrast.
When the panic came last year il
was at first almost monetary
panic, banks failing in all direc-
tions while comparatively few in
dustrial establishments were af-
fected. Distrust of the banks
followed. Run after run intensi-
fed the trouble. Savings banks,
in order to be ready for run
which might be started in an hours
time by an idle rumor, called in
their funds from the banks of dis
count and the trust companies.
The banks of discount, feeling the
strain, were forced to call in the
loans as fast as they matured.
Then the manufacturers and mer-
chants began to feel the pinch.
Their loans matured and could
not be renewed. Credit accounts
which they were accustomed to
carry for their customers, expect
ing to unload them Us usual on
the banks, now had to be carried
without the assistance of the banks.
AS long as the contracts already
made lasted, the mills and factos
rics kept up; but then came
the industrial crash. Today, and
for several months back, the banks
have been flush with money, while
industry has been PROSTATE. There
are in the New York banks today
more than one hundred millions
of idle capital over and above the
% per cent. reserve required,
which is drawing no interest and
is utterly unproductive. With
the army of the unemployed clam
oring foi work, with factories
and mills idle everywhere, there
is yet so much money that the
banks actually don't know what
to do with it. They are as anx-
ious to get it into profitable cir
culation as the mill-owner is to
get his mill into profitable opera
ton. 1t has been case of chills
and fever. And the old lesson is
to be relearned from it that conf
dence and prosperity may be de-
stroyed very quickly, but they
must be rebuilt slowly. We have
the idle money, we have the idle
factories, and we have the idle
men. But the collapse of the
credit system must be recovered
from before these three idle fac
tors of production can again unite
to give the capitalist his interest,
the manufacturer his profit, and
the wage-earner his wages. The
condition seems to be manifesting
signs of a distinct improvement

BERWICK BAY.
Mrs. Smell Writes IL Chatty Let
ter from the Pelican State.

Editor of The Mississippi Leader:
Surely no day ever known to
time has been more beautiful than
this. see from my window Ber-
wick bay stretching out like Il
shimmering CLEAN of satin, blue
as the Italian skies above, while
the little fishing boats lazily float
with the aid of the soft gentle
breeze putting their white wings.
Below me in the garden is the
orange grove; the tops of the
trees show the wooing of the
spring and already are crowned
with the glory and the fragrance
of white, wax-like flowers. The
incense burned at vespers, that l
have often inhaled as it filled the
dim-lit Cathedral with it's aromat-
ic sweetness, could not equal in
delicious odor the free offering of
Intoxicating fragrance these or
ange blossoms fling with lavish
opulence upon the air. In the
live oaks fringing the bay, there
are mocking birds and red birds
in great numbers, their morning
concert being contested by the
notes from the great flock of black
birds on the bermuda sward be-
low, while the collection Of crows
on the fence near by, seem to be
in rollicking laughter at the
whole performance, if one is to
Judge by their staccatto, Ha, Ha!
Ha! that makes you smile almost
unconsciously.

sugar kings of Louisiana. ''Befo

move all the machinery of the

ly as though it were run with the

your delightful bed, beneath its
canopy of quilted silk and drap-
cries of lace and take the most
restful of all sleep, the morning
nap, until nine o'clock; then fol-
lows breakfast which is almost as
elaborate meal as dinner.

nishing is fine enough to be the
