.niSSISsIPPIS PROGRESS.
Extract from Gov. Stones Article on Law
lessness in the Sonth, in North AM
erican Review for April.

Mississippi, out of the slender re-
sources, is spending over a million
and half dollars annually in public
education, and educational facilities
are provided for all the children OF
the State. Negro 'illiteracy is de-
creasing, and if the common school
system of public education is potent
agency in the suppression of crime,
satisfactory results from this source
may be confidently anticipated. Edu-
cation of public thought finds its way
quickly into the jury box, and i'm
proves the quality OF verdicts in the
just and impartial enforcement of the
criminal laws. In a limited way and
as incidental to the main purpose, the
technicalties of criminal law by
which the guilty sometimes escape,
and the delays of criminal procedure
so favorable to the law breakers,
might be remcdicd, and better jury
system might be provided.
The white men Of the South have
dealt with these formidable cOndi-
tions substantially as any other
white men would have done. 1t may
be fairly claimed for them that they
have accomplished as much as any
Others in their place would have ac-
complished, and it may be conceded
that they have probably committed
as many errors. AS it is, they have
done their best. and the present con-
dition OF improvement is now satis-
factory, in view of the magnitude OF
the undertaking. The most gratify-
ing feature IN the situation Is that
the trend of public thought and &C
tion is steadily in the direction OF
b Justice and fair dealing, while there
is nothing in view to indicate retro
gression. On the contrary, every'
D thing promises continuance OF the
improvement in the relations between
} the races and continued moral and
. material advancement of the people,

A youth who lives at High Shoals
says that his fatncr's cows frequently
came up at night with the appearance
of having been milked. His father
got tired of it and sent him to the
pasture to catch the thief. lie spent
the day near enough to the cows to
watch them he thought, but at night
1t was still evident that the COWS had
been MIXED again. lie was scolded
and sent back with them again next
day. About II O'Clock, he says, this
cow went into the canes near small
lake and lowed. He crept through the
brush aud caught the thief in the act,
and he proved to be bullfrog as large
as a hat. The frog was hanging on to
the cows udder and seemed to be en-
joying his dinner immensely.

ON A HVMAN SKULL.

Verses found on skeleton in the Royal
College of Surgeons, London. Author un-
Known.
Behold this ruin! IT'S skull
Once of ethereal spirit full.
This narrow cell was Life's retreat =
This space was Thoughts mysterious seat.
What beauteous visions filed this spot
What dreams of pleasure,-long forgot!
But love nor joy, nor hope nor fear
Have left one trace or record here.
Beneath this mouldering canopy,
Once shone the bright and beaming eye;
Nay, start not at the dismal void
OF social love that eye employed;
II with no balefuf fires it CLEANED,
But in the dews of kndncsss beamed,
That eve shall shine, forever bright,
When stars and suns are sunk in night.
Within this hollow cavern hung
The ready, swift and tunefuI tongue -
II falsehood's honey it disdained,
And when it could not praise, was chained,
If bold in virtues cause it spoke,
Yet gentle concord never broke;
Pilgrim, that tongue shall plead for thee
When time unveils Eternity.

HONE INDUSTRY.
Every Man Should Stand by Home Prod
ucts and People.

Every man should patrOnize the
ncighbor who patronizes him, or for
whom he has personal liking, but 1t
would be an imposition on friendship
that would seek to make him pay more
for an article because 1t was bought
from friend. Every man realizes,
however, that there is an advantage
to himself, to his ncighbOrs, and to
the community IN which he lives in
the patronage given to home industry
in preference to outside competition
when such patronage can be given
without material loss. Some men go
away from their own home or send
away from home for almost every
thing they wear or use and boast that
their tailor, shoemaker or halter, as
the case may be, is in such a place,
and it is not infreQuently the case
that the man who has left his meas
ure in some distant city that he may
order his wearing apparel from makers
or manufacturers elsewhere, could DO
quite as well, If not better, by patron
ing his home market. This is not do
ing full justice to his neighbor or the
community in which he lives, for his
neighbor and himself are to some ex-
tent mutually dependent on each
other. There is sort of moral obli-
ga tion resting upon every citizen who
is interested in the growth and pros
perty of local enterprise to patronlze
home industry to the fullest extent in
his power and thereby not only keep
his money at home but help to build
up local trade and industry.
There is something more than mere
sentiment in this, it is strictly busi-
ness.

Nt0ekdale Makes II Worse.

jackson Evening News.
Congressman Stockdalc is out in "A
windy letter in which he vainly at
tcmpts to justify his absence from
Congress pending the discussion and
vote upon the tariff bill in the House,
when the Democratic party was
brought into the contempt and ridi-
cule of the nation by delinquency on
the part of Democrats.
Mr.. Stockdale was in Jackson at the
time, and when the press criticised
his conduct, he acted like guilty
scholboy who had been caught, and
stated, in public interview, that
nothing was said about northern
Democrats being absent, as If this jus
titled his own reprehensible conduct.
Mr.. Stockdale's card is unfortunate
for him. He accounts for his pres
ence In Jackson by the statement
that friends and constituents thought
his presence could materially aid in
procuring a railroad charter in his
district, and that he remained two OF
three days in Jackson in that inter
est. Now Mr.. Stockdale Is either
profoundly ignorant Of the constitu
tion and laws OF his State, or he Il

tim all the particulars of the outrage,
he went on shore early in the morn
ing, and going to the house, demanded
OF the proprietor the return Of all the
stolen money. The half-drunken ruff
fan laughed at the request, and his
saloon being crowded with a gang Of
fellows who would murder man for
a drink Of whisky, the proprietor
threatened the captain that If he did

was waiting his orders to pull out, he
directed the deck hands to get the
largest cable on the steamer and fol-
low him with sufficient weapons for
fight. Leading the way to the house,
IA twO-story frame building, the cable
was passed around it and then in and
out of some of the windows and made
fast. In the upper room were num-
Der of gamblers, too busy to combat
the river men or to see what they
were doing. The proprietor was down
stairs passing over the liquor to tho
half-drunken and thirsty customers
not comprehending what was goine
on until the rope had securely cncir
cled his house. AS throng of spec
tators raised a cheer Russell spran,
on his boat and shouted out to tn
pilot, "Go ahead !" and to the cngi
neer, ''Let her gO."
The boat began to move, the rOp
began to tighten, the house began t
creak, the inmates began to tremble
and the sound of tearing timber ant
oaths of frightened men commingled
The hoat moved serenely on, tn,
cracking building began to sway ant

Stockdale cannot claim that he was

they say, and knit goods will come in
from Chemnitz, Germany. cheaper than
we can make them here. They work for
s. a week in Chemnitz. and we used to
get $12 in Amsterdam"
do you think our old 80 per cent
tariff increased your wages" asked.
why, yes. Wegot 400 per cent more
wages in Amsterdam than they do in
Germany. How else could we have got
it?''
"But they say, Rigdon, that wages de-
pend upon demand and supply" said.
"Yes, but what demand would there
be for knit shirts made at 60 day when
you could import them from Germany
made by 80 cent labor? The tariff keeps
that cheap labor out"
"Then what will be the effect in Am
sterdam il the Wilson bill lowers the
tariff 25 per cent on knit goods?'
"Our wages will have to go down 100
per cent" said John. I'VE bows will
have to stand the cut, or the factory will
stop. Il 50 per cent tariff gives four
times the wages paid in Germany, why,
. 20 per cent tariff will make our wages
twice as much as they arc in Germany,
or about GO cents day. We boys all
see it now."-Eli Perkins,
