THE STAR is authorized to announce
THE COUNTY REGISTRAT1 ON.

The registration books, which
were closed last week so far as reg
istering for the Congressional cleo
ton is concerned, show some in
teresting figures.
The total list, uncorrected,
shows 2413 voters, an increase Of
nearly 600 over the registration for
the fall election Of 1892.
The total registration Of negroes
is 227. OF the newly registered
voters about one-flth are negroes.
The Kosciusko box, which gives
the largest Democratic vote, shows
the largest gain of voters; with Je-
rusalem, IN Beat 5, second. Provi-
dence, the Fopulite stronghold,
stands third.
The new registration is full of
hope for the Democrats. OF the
white voters who have registered
at the Kosciusko box since July
1892, the Democrats have Ave for
every one of the Popples. A coun-
try precinct that went strongly
Populite in 1892 has now six more
Democrats than Populites register
ed. There has been general
gain over the county by the Demo-
Gratis from the later registration.
Another source of gain to the
Democrats, aside from the CONVEX.
sion of Populites and their lack of
enthusiasm, is the fact that the lat
ter change their hcmcs oftener
than the Democrats. Many of
them move about from place to
place and from precinct to pre-
cinct every year, ana, under the
law, this disqualifies great many
of them from voting.
The claim of the Peoples that
they will carry Attala county this
year is surely exploded by the
registration books.

sive in one instance, let him take it
in another. Mr.. Watterson was a
strong advocate of that repeal.
Mr.. Skinner says, just as The
STAR intimated that he would, that
"the Constitution, so far from be-
ing an ally of the Populites, has
been all the while preaching the
purest Democratic doctrine accord
ing to the platform" We warn
Mr.. Skinner against such Democ-
racy. In our opinion the Atlanta
Constitution is as far wrong IN its
financial views as Tom Watson S
Paper or the Chickasaw Messenger.
1t has done the Democratic party
more harm than all the Popullte
papers East of the Mississippi rlv-
er. 1t is a traitor in our camp,
more harmful than scores OF the
enemy. The'people do not up
hold it. 1t went over into Alaba-
ma to conduct ohnston's anti-Ad-
ministration fight for the govern
orship. The people repudiated it.
1t made another fight on its pecul-
lar doctrines for Evans for Govern
or Of Georgia, and was overwhelm-
ingly beaten. But it got a grain
of comfort from the fact that the
Populites of Alabama chose it for
their organ and the State conven-
ton of the same party in. Georgia
applauded its course.
No, Mr.. Skinner, the country
now has the best President It has
had for fEty-years; the Congress,
with all its Senatorial imperfection,
is the best since the war; and the
Democratic party is in the saddle
to stay.

The Poppies condemn the divis-
ion Of Democrats in Congress and
boast that their party have princi-
Piles in advocacy of which they
stand solid. Let's see about this.
The tariff is the leading question
before the American people, yet
last week in the Senate two Popu.
lites voted for the tariff reform bill
and two against it. If this is an
indication Of party solidity, point
us to party differences.

AT the picnic at Berea in Beat 2
on the Fourth leading Populite
of the county was cried down after
repeated efforts to make speech.
1t was Populite picnic in Pop
ulite district. At the close of the
day a number of young Populites
announced their intention to leave
the party. If the Poppies will on
ly have few more picnics in Beat
they will become SO split up that
the Democrats will rest easy.

The Democratic members Of the
conference committee on the tariff
bill are Senators Voorhees,, of lndi-
ana; Harris, of Tennessee; Jones,
OF Arkansas; Vest, Of Missouri; and
Representatives Wilson, Of West
Virginia; McMillin, of Tennessee;
Turner, of Georgia; and Montgom-
cry, OF kentucky. 1t is noticeable
that all of these eight except Sen
ator Voorhees, are Southern men.
Come to think about it, a large ma
jority Of the ablest men in Congress
are from the South.

Letters From the People.
EDITOR STAR:

EDITOR STAR:
Last weeks STAR makes some
disparaging criticisms in reference
to the warrants issued by act of
the last session Of the Legislature.
There being a deficit in the treas
ury, necessitated the issuing war
rants or selling bonds. If it can
be SO managed that the issuing of
warrants can be made to work lit
tie or no hardship, or loss to any
one, warrants are preferable. The
warrants issued being only about
one fourth Of the amount of State
tax which will fall due in months !,
the warrants can be absorbed in
the payment of taxes at very lit
tie if any cost to the the holders.
Most if not all Of our teachers
have friends who will cheerfully
exchange currency for warrants
(without discounD to pay taxes.
Ana thus the small amount of war.
rants sent to our county may be
used without loss to any one. Our
merchants can well afford to take
them at par in trade to the amount
Of their State tax. All those hav.
ing privilege to pay can use them.
Thus every dollar of them will
doubtless be used before the close
of the present year. In fact | see
no reason why they should not
pass as circulating medium. 1
am informed that the banks du-
ring the stringency Of money last
year, issued clearing house certif-
Gates and paid them out as money.
They circulated as such for time.
The banks are not above the State,
| don't say this to disparage the
banks. Private banks are legiti-
mate and necessary institutions.
Bankers as far as my knowledge
goes are honorable gentleman, but
they will admit that if we can get
along without discounting the war
rants, it will be best to. do it. The
warrants are as binding an obliga-
ton as bonds. The difference is
the State will save largely in in
terest. No interest will accrue on
the warrants as they will all be
absorbed in taxes before they fall
due Dan. 1, 1885, thus saving Az
per cent On them. Bonds issued
payablein five years at 4 per cent
per annum would amount to 20
per cent, hence I most heartily ap-
prove the action Of the Legislature.
The amount sent toOur county and
school fund is only 5000 and the
amount of our State tax will be
over $4,000.

Elsewhere will be found an in
teresting letter from County Treas
urer Buck in regard to the new
State warrants. We earnestly trust
that his hopefulness will be justi-
fed and that no holder of the war
rants will be a loser; but our judg-
ment is against it. However, it
does seem that in Attala, which
has only 81, 200 in these warrants,
they could be utilized without loss.

The intelligence, promptness
and hrmness displayed by Presi-
dent Cleveland in directing the
movements of the troops in Chica-
90, inclines us to the opinion that
his conduct will be precedent for
the treatment Of ali such strikes in
the future.

WHO TOLD THE ENTERPRISE?

The people of Mississippi favor the
free coinage of silver at a ratio Of 16 to
l, and they should let that fact be
known at the proper time.--Greenwood
Enterprise.
The question arises, Who told
the Enterprise this thing? How
does it know the level-headed peo-
pie Of Mississippi favor the free
coinage of silver at ratio of 16 to
1? They:haven't said so by their
votes; the newspapers don't say it;
majority Of the political leaders
don't say it. Then who gulled the
Enterprise by letting it into this
pretended secret?
Lefore county, so far as we
have any knowledge, is the only
county in the State which, in reg
ular convention, has favored such
a proposition. The Democrats of
Lehore, in mass meeting at Green
wood last week, adopted the fol-
lowing resolution:
Resolved, by the Democratic
voters of Lehore county in mass
meeting assembled, That we ia.
vor the free and unlimited coinage
Of both silver and gold at ratio
Of 16 to 1, without discriminating
against either metal or charge of
mintage."
This was the only resolution
adopted, and Lehore stands almost
alone in Mississippi in its advoca-
cy. Her neighborlng counties Of
Washington and Sunhower in the
same district which. met the same
day, announced no such political
belief: nor do we believe tn at any
county in the district has done so,
unless it be Issaqueni county.
1t was left for Lehore county alone
to say, in effect, that silver coin
age was the leading question be-
fore the American people, that it
it was the only issue to be settled
by the Democratic party, and that
her people embraced heresy
which would ruin the government
if carried to fruition. A convention
of Populites could have done as
much with an easy conscience.
In this instance, the esteemed
Enterprise, which is correct in
nearly all other matters, reminds
us of Beat 5 in Attala county. 1t
is large district and it votes the
Populite ticket by big majority.
Over great portion Of it Demo.
Gratis are so few and far between
as to DO scarcely noticeable. The
Populite rises in the morning and
as far as he can see Populite smoke
rises from nearly every chimney.
He goes on the highway and five
out of every six men he meets
"cuss" Cleveland and use "Keep
off the grass" as morning saluta-
ton. He goes to church and finds
that the preacher and most of the
congregation are Of the same polit-
zeal faith as himself. He therefore
concludes that the Populites are
the salt of the earth, and that they
will sweep the old parties before
them like chaff before a wind. The
Poppies in Beat 5 thought this in
1892, and, when the election re-
turns came in and they found that

The strike is especially hard on
the thrifty and industrious truck
growers of Crystal Springs and
Madison Station. 1t will be re-
membered that the cold snap cut
the strawberry crop short, and now
with the finest crop Of tomatoes
ever known the railroad company
on account of the strike is unable
to furnish the proper transporta-
ton. and these tomatoes, while
there is a vegetable famine in Chi
cago and other cities, are rotting in
the truck patches. Thus does one
misfortune tread upon the heels Of
another, SO fast they follow.

the Democrats had got some votes,
that Cleveland was elected and
Ratliff defeated, they were the
most honestly mistaken set of men
it has ever been our pleasure to
see routed.
The Enterprise should avoid the
error of the Populites of Beat 5,
and not think that, as goes Lehore
county, so goes the earth.

MR.. SKINNER'S REPLY.

entering upon a discussion with
Mr.. Skinner on the lines he has
laid down. To do so would be to
open a debate that now divides the
public men of the country, and
which only time and wider ex-
perience can settle. We will
therefore notice a few mistakes
and inconsistencies into which Mr..
Skinner has fallen, and then we
have finished. We do not hold
him individually responsible for
these inconsistencies, because any
one who holds his peculiar views
of finance will inevitably fall into
the mire of contradiction.
We suspect that the bone of
contention that inspired his first
letter was the resolution endorsing
the Cleveland Administration
which was adopted by our Demo
cratic committee, of which Mr..
Skinner is an able member. He
was disappointed and chagrined by
the passage of those resolutions.
He says in his letter published
this week: "Resolutions endors-
ing without qualification every act
of Cleveland S administration, pass
ed by local Dem. Elk. Com, or
convention, was, in my judgment,
hurtful to the party" And again,
1T certainly would be bad policy
for any body Of Democrats to
adopt resolutions condemning a
Democratic administration, and
equally as bad policy to endorse
any specific act or policy that a
large per cent of Democrats believe
to be VIGOROUSLY and palpably at
variance with the platform de-
mands." He is evidently aiming
at the action of our own commit
tee, and just here comes in one Of
his glazing inconsistencies. At
the meeting of the committee to
which we refer resolution was in
PRODUCED approving certain actions
of the Administration, but, by in
ference, condemning its financial
policy. We are pretty sure, but
not positive, that Mr.. Skinner vot-
ed for this resolution. At any
rate, he was put down as favoring
it by those in a position to know.
He is thus placed in the indefensi-
Bile attitude of favoring a condem-
nation of party leaders, but fearing
that their endorsement will injure
the party.
Mr.. SINNERS statement that he
fails to see where there has been
any great reduction of public ex-
penditures merely means that he
has not read that side Of the ques-
ton. We refer him to the saving
of twenty-five millions last year in
the matter of pensions as one
among the many curtailments Of
expense.
Our friend certainly cannot make
out of the tariff bill a stone to
throw at the Democratic party, es-
pecially when he upholds our SEN
ators for supporting it. 1t is true
that it is not an ideal Democratic
measure; but it is all that could be
got this time. 1t is step in the
right direction. Imperfect as it is,
twill yet save the masses many
millions annually. The Wilson
bill as it passed the House was a
fairly good measure; but, when it
reached the Senate where our
Democratic majority is so small, 4
few traitors forced concessions
that are to be regretted, but can't
be helped. 1t may be said, howev-
er, that the conference committee,
which now has the bill in charge,
will eliminate many of its Republi-
can features. AS soon as tho
Democratic majority in the Senate
is strengthened, we will see a wide

TALLEST OF MANKIND.
Arrest OF Pine Melton on an Old
Charge.

Something over a dozen years ago
Parker county was infested with
one of the most desperate bands of
cattle and horse thieves that ever
roamed over Central Texas. About
that time the grand jury indicted
one Pine Melton on a charge of
cattle theft.
Years rolled on, and nothing was
seen or heard Of him, and the case
was almost forgotten, as Numerous
indictments for cattle theft were no
uncommon occurrence in Texas at
that time.
Yesterday Constable Tom Gross,
while glanclng over the book in
Sheriff Burke's office containing a
list of fugitives from ustice, read
the following written in ink and
yellow with age: "SlO reward, for
the arrest Of Pine Melton, wanted
in Parker county on an indictment
for cattle theft. He is the talest
white man in Texas, and meas ures
6 feet and lo4 inches in height"
Constable Gross had seen a man
answering the description and ar
rested man in the employ Of the
Waco Gas company and locked him
up. He gave his name as Pie
Melton, and says he used to have
cattle in Parker county, but is in.
nooent of the charge against him.

stopped, measures exactly & feet
