Authorship of the Poem Every Year"


Editor Democrat star.
The many readers Of your justly ap-
preciated paper are too familiar with
your fearless and out-spoken vindica-
ton OF that all too are moral attrib-
ute called truth, as also Of your un.
questioned contempt for the LIAR,
public or private, for the writer to
enlarge upon either question in this
communication. But in the writer's
opinion, there Is a character even
mUre contemplate than that OF the
liar-it Is that of the plagiariSt ;
hence, why l ask space in the columns
Of your valuable paper, is that, as a
lifelong friend, | may defend the
rights OF IA dead poet against the lit
crary theft of an unblushing plagiar.
ist, who seeks to force upon the read
ing public as his own, the beautiful
and tender thoughts of one whose
memory yet remains embalmed with.
in the hearts Of the many who knew
aud loved him so well while yet he was
Of 'thc earth.carthIy."
The writer noticed in last weeks
issue Of the DEMOCRAT-STAR, the ex-
quisite poem entitled EVERY YEAR
and at the same time, was astonished
to see the name of william COwan''
as its accredited author.
l know not whether the name be
an assumed or a bona hde one, but
this | do most emphatically assert
and know whereof l speak,, that
Mr.. civilian COwan" NEVER com
posed the poem, EVERY YEAR." he
simply borrowed t) Il dead mans
thoughts and palmed them OF upon
an unknowing public as his own!
To the writer's personal knowledge,
as, also, to the knowledge of the most
intimate friends and admirers OF the
dead poet, the poem was written some
fifteen years ago by the late General
Albert Pike. (known among bis
friends as 1.-THE Fine Arkansas Gen
tleman') who died in Washington
City, some twOOr three years ago, and
who, for many years prior to his death
was the loved Sovereign Grand Com
mandcro OF the Masonic fraternity O
this country.
The poem every YEAR" can b,
found among many OF his other poem,
which were published In book foru
several years before his death, To-
private distribution among hi,
friends. A copy Of the book Is n
present In possession OF the writer's
family.
With the exception OF slight alter
alton in the first two lines Of Mr.
Cowan's version ~ the poem Is YER
batim ct liberatum as written by TIL,
late Gen. Pike.
With an apology for taking up S,
much Of your valuable space, l sub
scribe myself your friend and paper
we'll wisllcr. JUSTICE.

General Casey, Chief of Engineers.
ia his forthcoming annual report says
the estimate for improvements in the
State OF Mississippi, in the fiscal year
ending June 30, 1896, are AS follows
Tombigbee, from Demopolis 10 Colum.
bus, $230, 900; Tombigbce, from Full
ton to Columbus, $500, 900: Tombigbce,
from Walkers bridge to Fulton, s., 600;
Noxubee river, $1,000; Pascagoula
river, $500; Chicasaw river, SIS, 900
Leaf river, $4,000; harbor at Biloxi,
nearly s 5000 were expended during the
year ended June 30, 1894, and about
that amount will be required every
four years for the preser walton Of the
improvements. Pearl river, below
Jackson, estimate for the fiscal year
ending June 30, 1896, $4,000; Pearl
river, bet Carthage and Jackson,
$500; Pearl river, between Edinburgh
and Carthage, $1,000.
Big Black rivcr-nO estimate sub
mitted, as the amount Of commerce
to be benefited is small and there is
a balance unexpended; Yazoo river,
800, 600; mouth of Yazoo $685., 600 is
estimated for the next fiscal year, and
it is recommended the full amount be
appropriated, both for economy OF
money and to reduce the time required
for completion, whether the work is
to be done by contract or otherwise.
Tchula Lake-there is an available
balance which will be applied to re-
moving distractions. Tallaliatchie
river, estimate, 10000; Steele and
Washington bayOus, no estimate; Big
Snnflower, an appropriation of $40, 900
can be expended proitably in one sea-
son of low water, and will result in
greater benefit and work OF Il more
lasting character than n be obtain
ed with a larger sum by smaller APP
preparations at intermittent periods.

The COurier-Journal thinks the par.

saying: The Democratic party has
survived even greater reverscs than

served for some good purpose. 1t has
fallen upon grlevous times and into
grucsCmc hands. IT out of this dis
aSter we take lessons Of high emprise
If it rids us of dead wcights-if 1t
brings us a better sense Of our duty to
the state-all will yet be well:
"And the dark shall be light,
And the wrong be made right"

MATTERS OF BUSINESS.
THE BARGAIN STORE OF THE STATE.

In the line of sheet music, musical in- struments and merchandise, school books and supplies, artist materials, pictures, frames and novelties, the little store around the corner at 3l John street, Bridgeport, known as Northrop's Art and Music Store, takes the lead, both in quality of the goods and low prices. You can buy sheet music usually sold for 40 cents to S1.50 for five cents. If you use music write for catalogue. Ifyou have any school books that you are through with, take them there and exchange them for others, or anything in the store that you wish. You can make quite saving in your school books by buying them there. If you have any pictures that need frames, take them when you reach the city and you can have them to take home at night. Just now he has a bar gain in 16x20 and 20x24 crayon frames in six inch gilt for $l.50.
